MISCELLA AN Y.
Great Love.


Some years ago, a Russian nobleman was
travelling on special business in the interior OF
Russia 1t was the beginning of winter but
the frost had set in early His carriage rolled
up to an inn, and he demanded a relay of hor-
ses to carry him on to the next station, where
he intended to spend the night. The inn-keep-
er entreated him not to proceed; for he said
there was danger in travelling so late, the wolves
were out But the nobleman thought the man
merely wished to keep him as guest; he said
it was too early for wolves, and ordered the hor-
ses to be put to. He then drove off, with his
wife and only daughter inside of the carriage
with him.
On the box of the carriage was serf, who
had been born on the noblemans estate, to whom
he was attached, and who loved his master as
he loved his own life. They rolled over the
hardened snow, and there seemed no signs OF
danger. The moon she'd her pale light, and
brought out into FURNISHED silver the road on
which they were going. AT length the little
girl said to her father, ssWhat is that strange
bowling sound that Just heard2" 80, nothing
| ,ut the wind signing thrc ugh the forest trees,
re ulied the father The child shut her eyes,and
wa quiet But soon she, said again, 'ListeD,
faith err; it is not like the wind, | think" The
fatht r listened; and far, far away, in the dis
tance behind him, through the clear, cold, frosty
air h heard q noise which he too we'll knew
the M Gaming of.
He then r,ut down the window, and spoke to
his servant: "The wolves, fear, are after us;
make haste, Tell the man to drive faster, and
get your pistols ready" The position drove
faster. F.ut the same mournful sound which
the child had heard had approached nearer. IL
was clear; that a pack of wolves had scented
them oct. The nobeman tried to calm the
anxieus fears of his wife and child.
AT last the baying of the pack was distinctly
heard. So he said to his servant "When they
come up with us, do you single out one, and
fire. and will single out another; and while
the rest are devouring them we shall get on
AS soon as he put down the window, he saw
the pack in fun cry behind, the large dog-wolf
at their head. Two shots were fired, and two
of the wolves fell. The others instantly set up
an them. and deyoured them; and meanwhile
the carriage gained ground
But the taste of blood only made them more
fnrious, and they were soon up with the car
roce again. Again two shots were fired, and
two more fell, and were devoured But the
carriage was speedily overtaken, and the post
house was yet far distant;
The nobleman then ordered the position to
loose one of his leaders, that they might gain a
little time. This was done, and the poor horse
plunged frantically into the forest, and the
wolves after him, aud was soon torn to pieces.
Then another horse was sent Oft, and shared the
same fate. The carriage labored on as last as IL
could with the two remaining horses; Dut the
post-houSe was still distant.
At length the servant said to his master, u
have served you ever since was child; love

whora l.;d him at rest where the soft dews fspring
NAV fall. like sweet +ears, on his grave
Where the robin and rsa-oiro MS requien1 N'A'
sing
And the forest trees over him wave.
We have left him to sleep in the field of his toii'
Where, so often, he led on the plow;
And the mantle his labor induced on the SOIL
May well be his covering now.
He has cast off his gears, and, with saddle, no more
Will his often CALLED whers be wrung-
Ne'er again will he stand by the rack at the door,
Where his was the first bride hung.
Ay,f twenty long years. though existence eked out
Beyond the brief span of his race,
Was faithful old Tom up, and about
Though his comrades had gone to their place.
All had faithful old Tom left such record of verse
As from Natures more gifted have sprung,
Pleasant tales wouldt brngsad adventures rehearse'
As were ever imagined or sung.
1t might tell how he came with US, wanderers here
To forest the deer rambled Ger;
How he brought to our hearth the first inkling OF
cheer
To our larder its oft scanty store. ~...
1t might say that he stood ever ready to bear
OF our burden his own varied part
That to church or to market to town, store or fair,
Was old Tom always willing to start.
1t might boast of his share in the conquests we won,
Where nature long held her domain;
As we stripped oh her forests and barred to the sun,
Her surface of mountain and plain.
And when age had benumbed him, in spirit and limb,
o! could we his guerdon denyg
Move gave the free range of broad acres to him,
And his crib had its constant supply.
There were soft hands that led where the early grass
grew,
This honored old servant of yore,
That the fresh growth Of spring might the relish re-
OF pleasures ere long to be DER.
No bolts, bars or gates were opposed to his MOOD
For such to his humor would yield;
He roamed where he pleased and made choice OF MS
food,
In orchard, and pasture and field.
Perhaps it might seem, to his equine regard,
To his ethics, by kind Nature taught,
That his long years of effort should have their re-
ward
His wanderings be set down at naught
And, as with poor Tom, when hfe's long account
Is adjusted by Judgment on high,
May we find but of good remembered amount
The evil in mercy, passed by.
Sleep on, our old friend-there be many that rest
In tomb where proud epitaphs shine.
With less of regret and sweet memories blest
Than halow the green sod of thine.

Getting Breakfast.
BY FRANCIS DANA GAGB.
With the dawn the mother rises,
From a restless morning nap,

With the dawn the mother rises,
From restless morning nap,
To give the house maid her advices,
With her baby on her lap.
Come, hurry, Betty, build the fire,
Run, gather something small and dry
Lay ON the back logs-pile them higher
(Hush, baby darling, don't ery.)
There, Betty, now hang on the kettle,
While it is boiling, milk the COW,
And feed the good old brute little,
It's time she had her breakfast now. 9a.
Why, children, are you up SO soon!
thought you'd sleep an hour yet,
would not care you'd laid till-noon,
You keep up such constant fret.
Here, sis, sit down and take your brother,
There, hold him fast now on your knee,
Don't let him fall, be little mother
He's such darling chick-a-dee '.5
Where is that girl /; dear me Lnever-
could milk four COWS to " one; lla
1. seems to take some folks forever
To do thing; and then rs half done.
Frank, help dress Will; Will quit your crying
Here Dams cup of milk for you,
What ails the child9 sure your not dying
That you need make so much ado.
Now Betty, put the coffee boiling ,s .-.a
But first put in that Johnny cake,
Then cut some steaks and fix for broiling,
Pve got the taters in to bake.
Poor baby did'ey let it pail
And almost break it title heady
It may just Ky and sceam and bawl,
While mammals getting beakest eddy.
There, Betty, now that cake is burning,
That lid, Told you, was too hot,
It's time the beef-steaks had turning,
See if there's water in that pot,
Here take this child; let me be doing,
For you can nurse as fast as /,
And can keep oil these brewing
In half your time, (and not half try.)
Children, don't, pray make such racket,
You're quite enough to drive one wild;
Don't play SO hard; put on your jacket;
Why, Betty can't you still that child
All, there it goes you little monkey,
You've split your milk now, making bubbles
But never mind now don't be spunky-
jobs boils s0ere feabites to my troubles
Lay down the child, the steak is done;
Sis, fix the cradle, that's lady;
Take up the things-and Frankly, run
And tell your pa his breakfasts ready.
All fretted mother, don't despair,
For You your mother once grew weary,
Twill tighten every toll and care,
To keep your spirit calm and CHEEKY.
Those restless ones ere long will be,
Thy stay and strength, thy grace and beauty
A joy, blessing unto thee
If thou in love hast done thy duty.
