The Wolves.
TFrom the Atlantic Monthly.l

Ye who listen to stories told.
When hearths are CHEEKY and nights are cold,
Of the lone wood side, and the hungry pack
That howls on the fainting travellers track
Flamered eyeballs that waylay,
By the wintry moon. the belated sleigh
The lost child sought in the dismal wood,
The little shoes and the stains of blood
On the trampled snow-O We that hear,
With thrills of pity or chills of fear,
Wishing some angel had been sent
To cheer the hapless and innocent
Know We the fiend that is crueller far
Than the gaunt grey herds of the forest are?
Swiftly vanish the wild fleet tracks
Before the rifle and woodman's axe:
But bark to the coming of unseen feet,
Pattering by night through the city street
Each wolf that dies in the woodland brown
Lives spectre and haunts the town.
By square and market they sink and prowl,
In lane and alley they leap and howl.
All night they snuff and snarl before
The poor patched window and broken door.
They paw the clapboards and claw the latch,
At every crevce they whine and scratch.
Their tongues are subtle and long and thin,
And they lap the living blood within.
Icy keen are the teeth that tear,
Red as ruin the eyes that glare.
Children crouched in corners cold
Shiver in tattered garments old,
And start from sleep with bitter pangs
At the touch of the phantom's viewless fangs.
Weary the mother and worn with strife,
Still she watches and fights for life.
Bat her hand is feeble, and weapon small:
One little needle against them all
In evil hour the daughter fed
From her poor shelter and wretchcd he'd.
Through the city's pitiess solitude
To the door of sin the wolves pursued.
Fierce the father and grim with want,
His heart is gnawed by the spectre gaunt
Frenzied stealing forth by night,
With whetted knife, to the desperate fight,
He thought to strike the spectres dead,
But he smites his brother man instead.
O you that listen to stories told,
When hearths are CHEEKY and nights are cold,
Weep no more at the tales you hear,
The danger is close and the wolves are near.
Shudder not at the murderer's name
Marvel not at the maiden's shame,
Pass not by with averted eye
The door where the stricken children cry.
But when the beat of the unseen feet
Sounds by night through the stormy street,
Follow thou where the spectres glide;
Stand like Hope by the mother side;
And be thyself the angel sent
To shield the hapless and innocent.
He gives but little who gives his tears.
He gives his best who aids and cheers.
He does well in the forest wild
Who slays the monster and saves the child;
But he does better, and merits more,
Who drives the wolf from the poor mans door.

REST OF THE SABBATH.-The North British
Review thus speaks of the physical necessity
of the Sabbath
The Creator has given us a natural restora-
tive-sleep anda moral restorative-Sabbath
keeping and it is ruin to dispense with either.
Under the pressure of high excitement, indi-
viduals have passed weeks together with little
sleep, or none but when the process is long
continued, the over ridden powers rebel, and
fever, delirium and death comes on. Nor can
the natural amount be Systematically curtaied
without corresponding mischief. The Sabbath
does not arrive like sleep. The day of rest
does not steal over or like the hour of slumber-
1t does not entrance, almost whether we VIII
or not; but addressing us as intelligent beings,
our Creator assures us that we need 1t, and
bids US notice its return, and court its renova-
tion. And il going in the face of the Creators
kindness we force ourselves to work all days
alike it is not long till we pay the forfeit
The mental worker-the man of business. or
the man of letters--fn his ideas becoming
turbid and slow the equpage of his faculties
is upset; he grows moody fitful and capri
cious and with his mental elasticity broken,
should any disaster occur, he subsidies into
habitual melancholy, or in self destruction
speeds his guilty exit from gloomy world.
And the manual worked-the artisan the en-
gineer-by toiIing on from day TO day, and
week to week, the bright intuition of his eye
gets blunted, and forgetful of its cunning, bis
fingers no longer perform their feats of twink
ling agility nor by plastic touch mould dead
matter, or WELD mechanic power; but min
Cling bis life in his daily druggery, bis locks
are prematurely gray, his genial humor sours,
and shaving it till he becomes a remorseess or
reckless man, for an extra effort, or blink of
qualmy feelings, he must stand indebted, 10
