the students punched him in the abdomen

had been stabbed, Immediately struck the
student with his bludgeon, splitting his
skull dreadfully. This being done, he
commanded his fellow policemen to as

Adventure with a Wolf

The Kansas correspondent OF the St'
Louis Republican tells the following sto-
ry: "a few days since, while riding III
the rear of our town, in small ravlne,
through which a sueamet takes lis qliet
wav beneath It's crystal covering, and
whose irrigation has produced tall grass
and shrubs that make hiding place for
game, came suddenly upon large black
wolf. He was scratching at thn place
in the ice, aud seemed almost lamlshed
for water. When be saw me he started
on full run Cor the forest in the river
bottom. | kept upon his heels and tried
to ride upon him. He was almost eX-
haustod, and just as supposed he would
give out he slipped into the hollow Of a
large cotton wood tree. | stopped the
hole through which he entered, and came
back TO town and got an axe and the dogs,
and the assistance of Frank Mahan, and
VIM. Palmer, and together we returned to
cut him out. The dogs were anxious
and we were prepared with our guns TO
receive him. When we made large
hole about four feet from the ground, the
dogs Jumped at it on the outside, and The
wolf on the inside, and such barking,
growing, swapping, and howllng | never
heard before. Itmade the woods resOund
for great distance, and brought several
neighbors to the spot. Things continued
so for while, and we consulted what
had best he done. We could not shoot
the wolf through this opening without too
great risk ofkilling the dogs, for he only
appeared at the inside when the dogs
were at the outside. We finally conciu-
ded TO stop the hole we had made, and fell
the tree by cutting narrow cash around
it.
The tree came down little sooner than
we expected. Frank Mahau had the axe
lifted for another stroke as II went over
with a crash. The wolf, with brstIcd
back, and garing eyes, and g!nIeEIng
teeth, leaped at his throat with terrible fe-
rocily. The descending axe met hall
way cleaying its skull and laying II dead
at his feet. We had no time TO express
our wonder and congratuIauon at his mar
row and singular escape, before our aiten-
ton was called to that which filled us
with amazement if not dread. Ii was

The Time of Falling Snow.
By GEORGE LIPPARD.

The tears come into my eyes when the
snow falls, for it was the time Of falling
snow she died. dreary morning, cold
and desolate, with sleet pattng on the
window pane, and snow upon the ground.
The tower of the church, which you
could see from the window of the death
chamber, rose drearily and alone into a
leaden sky. And | can see her now, by
the ight which came bu: dimly through
the haIf-drawn curtains. That face,
stricken by death-those eyes, yearnng-
Iy to heaven, and filed with light that
shone upon them from the Better World :;
those cold, Thin hands, clasped over The
shrunken breast. | can see her now, even
as she looked in the moment before she
died. Oh, if you had all the power OF
expression that language in It's sublime
flights affords, you could not paint the ag-
ony and rupture Of that dying face. she
knew US all, knew that she was the last
of many we had given to the grave-she
called US by name, and told US how haTd
1t was to part with US, aud in the same
breath. Ia quick gasping breath, for she
was struggling between time and eternity
she told us how good il was TO go home.
We watched her as she died One mo-
ment her eyes were al light-the next
they were fiImy and cold. And | can re-
m,mber now how | went from tina! death
room, leaving her upon her death bed,
even as The life had just passed her lips.
How hurried out into the cold and felt
il good TO feel the sleei upon my face, and
drink OF the winter air with delight. How

| went TO work, and amid the care and
clamor of work endeayoled to drown the
thoughts of her who all the while lay cold
and beautiful in my home, altlred for cot
fin and graveyard, her thin white hands
folded on her shroud. And can remem-
Der how came home at nj ght and went
TO nv room and wrote-stiil cheElshng
a latent thought that she was not dead, but
only waiting for me in the next room
waiting for me TO come and read 10 her

wrilten-I remember it yeti rose up

placed that upon the door which led INTO
the next room-her room. had forgot.
ten she was dead |! 1t had been my Gus
tom TO read TO her what | had wrltten-
and | had uncOnsciously fallen into the
old habit. My hand was upon the door
then. and not till then, did the truth rush
upon me, that she was not sitting III her
chair awaiting me, but that she was laid
unon her bed with her dead hands upon
her dead bosom. That she was dead
The thought say, rushed upon me--lt
crushed me back against the wall like a
blow from strong arm, and for long
time held me there choked and gaspng,
without the power to say word. Ana
can remember how we took her forth, on
that last day Of the year, when the sun
was out and the snow gIistened IN his
beams, and blue sky was over the WIN
rv earth--how we took her forth and laid
her in the grave, amid the graves of her
people, and heard the rattIlng of the fro
zen clods upon her coffin lid.
And also do remember how for days
and weeks and months after she was
gone, Il cannot say dead, would come
home at evening, and expect as | opened
the door, to find her there as OF old. And
how, when saw her place vacant the
truth would rush upon me and crush me
afresh--just as though she had only died
a moment before.
This is why the tears come into my
eyes when the snow falls.
And when sit in my room, and look
out upon the leaden sky and new fallen
snow, | see her dying face again. And
turning from the scene without, | look
within. | see the book in which she
wrote her name the day before she died.
| see the door which opens into the next
room, and through its panels can see
her sitting there--waiting for me to come
and read TO her.
But for all this | feel know--tha'
she is not dead.
For can see her, young and beautiful,
sitting by calm waters in the other land,
and in her hands she holds child whose
soul has just escaped from clay 10 Cop.
And | know that they are there togeth-
er--the sister who died il winter and the
child who died in autumn. And | know
that | shall meet them--yOnder.
