Luke Blairs Encounter with Wolves.

uttered, and sent the chills creeping from the
leaping heart in pricking sensations over the
skin.

nothing of his history. There was mystery
about him which none ever penetrated, and an
cccentricity of manner which gave his move
ments peculiar interest to his rough but true
hearted comrades. lie spent his time in the
woods, and never brought in any thing but
wolves scalps. There was a fierce burning look
in his eye as he flung them upon the ground,
and he would sit for hours after one Of his ex-
cursions, with his head bowed between his
hands
As unsocal as was the squatter he was re-
spccted by all who had come in contact with
him. He was brave to madness, and yet as
cool in danger as in his camp. Nor was there
anything rough in his manners; on the contra
ry, there was an easy bearing, which-almost
elegance-bcspoke a day of education and refine
ment. And when he did speak his language

the head of faultless mould. The eye was dark,
lustrous and, in excitement, of peculiar and
fascinating power. Around his neck was some
sacred token, which no eye had seen, and which
he guarded with jealous care
There was something about the old man-his
commanding presence, his brayer,, and his
lonely habitation and sad monnor-which won

Is it ANY Body's Business?

Is it anybody's business

To wait upon ii lady,

That our meaning all may know,
Is it anybody's business
If lady has beau'
Is it anybody's business
When that gentleman does call,
Or when he leaves the lady,
Or if he leaves at all
Or is it necessary
That the curtain should be drawn.

If a person walks at night,

Is it anyboly's business
Where that person means to call
Or if you see Il person
As he's calling anywhere,
Is it ony of yOur business
What his business may be there'
The substance of my query,
Simply stated, would be this;
Is it anybode's business
What another's business is?
If it is, or if it ism,
We should really like to know,
For surely if isn't,
Some people make it so.
If it is we'll join the rabblc,
And act the noble part
OF takers and dofamers
That crowd the public mart;
But if not, we'll act the teacher,
Till every meddler learns
