tied him up in the military gan

hoo, servant Of a Cashmere merchant
then at Bondee. took compassion on
the poor boy, and prepared bed for
him under the mangotree where he
himself lodged; here he kept him
fastenedto q ten-pin.
Up to this time he would eat moth
ing but raw flesh, but Tanoo gradu-
ally taught him to eat balls. of rice
and pulse. In about six weeks after
he had been tied up, and after much
rubbing Of his joints wi.hoil, he was
made to stand and walk upright
whereas hitherto he had gone on all
tours.
One night, while the boy was lying
under the mango tree, Tanoo saw
two wolves creep stealthily toward
him, and after smelling him, they
touched him, when he got up. In
stead, however, Of being frightened,
the boy put his hand upon their
heads, and they began to play with
him, capering about while he pelted
them with grass and straw. TANGO
tried to drive them of, but could not.
At last, however, they left, but the
following night three wolves came,
and a few nights after four, which re-
turned several times.
The wolf-boy, however, could not
be entirely reconciled to civilized
life. In being removed from place
to place he never lost an opportunity
of endeavoring to escape into the
jungle. At last Tanoo was sent away
on short journey, and when he re-
turned, his savage charge had disap.
peared, and was never again heard Of.
The story Of another wolf.child is
even more wonderful than the above.
In March, 1S43, a cultivator who
lived at Chupra, about twenty miles
from Sultanpoor, went to cut his crop
of wheat and pulse, taking with him
his wife, and son about three years
old. AS the father was reaping, a
wolf suddenly rushed upon the boy,
caught him up, and made off with
him toward the ravines. People ran
to the aid Of the parents, but soon
.lost sight of the wolf and his prey.
Aboutsix years afterward, as two
siphees were watching for hogs on
the border of the jungle, they saw
three wolf cubs and boy come out
ola jungle and go down to the stream
to drink; all four then ran to a den

ed, but the cubs had already entered
and the boy was half way in, when
one of the men caught him by the
leg and drew him back. He was
very savage, bit at the men, aud
selling the barrel of one of their
guns in his teeth, shook it fiercely.
The siaphees, however, secured
him, brought him home, and kept
him for twenty days, during which
he would eat nothing but raw flesh,
and was fed accordingly on hares and
birds. His captors soon found it diff.
fcult to provide him with sufficient
food, and took him to the bazaar in
the village of Koeleepoor, to be sup.
ported by the charitable till he
might be recognized and claimed by
his parents.
He is unable to speak or articulate
any sound with distinctness. In
drinking he dips his face in the wa
ter, but does not lap like wolf. He
still prefers raw flesh; and when a
bullock dies, and the skin is romov.
ed, he attacks and eats the body in
company of the village dogs.-Har-
