A THRILLING ADVENTURE.
-ODLING FOR LIFE TO A PACK
OF HUNGRY WOLVES.

A story is told in Kentucky of a
curious adventure with wolves in
the very early days of the settle.
ment Of the State. The hero of it is
an old black slave, named Dick, and
it occurred one night as he was on
his way to the marriage festival of
some people Of his own race. He
was an extremely skillful fiddler,
and was going to play his violin at
the wedding. To reach the place,
six miles distant, he was compelled
to pass through long stretch of
woods. Here a pack of wolves
gradually gathered, yelping hungrily
at his heels in the darkness. At
length when some eff them swept by
close to his legs, swapping at him as
they passed, he struck at them with
his fiddle; the string Jared loudly,
and what relief came to his SILVER
ing soul when he saw that the sound
made the brutes stand off. He i'm
mediately struck his hand across
the chords. A wolf that was within
two yards of him leaped aside in
terror. He walked rapidly forward,
shifting his violin again and again
to terrlfy the creatures that bcset
him.
In this way he made his way to
hut standing in the midst of a
clearing not far distant. In he
rushed, slammed the rickety door
behind him, clambered up through
hole in the roof, and perched on
the gable, with the frail tenement
literally shaking beneath his
weight. The door of the cabin did
not for moment withstand the
attack of the wolves, which immedi.
ately thronged the interior. They
were now wild with rage. They
leaped up; they CRASHED their
teeth; they closed their jaws, with
that sharp snap SO horrible to the
ears of the fiddler, as ne almost fell
from his roost in despair; but he
remembered the effect of his violin.
He had not yet drawn the bow from
it's case, but now did so, and struck
it shrieking across the strings, forced
all the while to keep his legs kick
ing high in the air to avoid the trap
like fangs that were only a few
inches below. In an instant the
yells ceased, and the negro went on,
drawing forth the most wild, hyster-
zeal and grating sounds from his
friendly violin.
This barbarous noise, however,
had no other effect upon the crea-
lures than to astonish them. Even
wolves cannot be charmed by bad
music. When the first surprise was
over they renewed their, attack
Presently great gaunt head lit by
two eyes like globes of green fire,
was thrust up through the roof.
Who's dar 7" shrieked the negro,
mad with horror. An instinct
saved him. just as there seemed
no thread of fate to hold him from
being dragged down and made the
prey of these ravenous brutes, he
once more smote his bow upon the
fiddle and began with desperate
energy to play "Yankee Doodle"
The loud inspiring notes caused
instant silence among the hungry
rout below. Orpheus piping to the
brutes was no unmeaning fable
Dick won kindred triumph. He
was astonlshed at the effect of his
music. Around him was the most

POETRY.
THE SITTING OF PETER.
A FokK-soNG.


FokK-soNG.
Behold, Satan hath desired to have
you, that he may sift you as wheat. ~
ST. LUKE, xxi, 81.
In st. Luke Gospel we are told
How Peter in the days of old
Was sifted
And now, though ages intervene.
Sin is the same. while time and scene
Are shifted.
Satan desires us, great and small,
AS wheat, to sift us, and we all
Are tempted
Not one, however rich or great,
Is by his station or estate
Exempted.
No house so safely guarded is
But he, by some device of his,
Can enter
No heart hath armor so complete
But he can pierce with arrows fleet
Its center.
For all at last the cock will Glow
Who hear the warning voice, but go
Unheeding,
Till thrice and more they have denied
The Man of Sorrows, crucified
And bleeding.
One look of that pale suffering face
Will make us feel the deep disgrace
Of weakness
We shall be sifted till the strength
Of self-conceit be changed at length
To meekness.
Wounds of the soul, though healed, will
ache /;
The reddening scars remain, and make
Confession
Lost innocence returns no more;
We are not what we were before
Transgression.
But noble souls, through dust and heat,
Rise from disaster and defeat
The stronger,
And conscious still of the divine
Within them. lie on earth supine
No longer.
