Rest Cometh After All.

Beyond the toll the burdens Of the day,
Beyond the tempcsts aui the storms of lifel
Far from tie tumut of the weary way,
Beyond the longing and he ceascles'
strife;
Out Of the darkness and the gloom of night,
Beyond the hills where shadows never fail,
And far beyond the range of mortal sight,
Rest cometh after ALL
After the fever aud the restless pain,
After the waiting and the weary years,
After tie conflict and the loss ana gain,
After the sorrow and the u eless tours;
Far, far beyond the lofty hcghts of Fame:
Beyond the hills whoie shad JNs never fall.
Beyond the fear o; ccnsurc and Of blame,
Rest cometh after all.

made a smuige on the hearth to keeE
them from trying the chimney, and then
mother took one side tf the window
and the other. We instinctively felt
that it was the point OF danger now that
the chest protected tho door We were
hardly at our posts when o panther
sprang up and tore tho blanket
down. Our light consi ted of a piece
Of cotton lying in dish Of coons s fat,
and at times the flame was almost out.
A couple Of minutes alter the blanket
was torn away p nther sp'a1g into the
opening. Had lac beca left uudisturbed
he could have squecz d through, but
the instant hi head appeared we both
struck at him. His right fore paw
hung over the cd q of tho opening, and
my blow cut it clean off and dropped il
on the floor. That settled one of the
visitors, although tho row he made over
the loss Of his raw almost uunervcd MS.
At that moment thcro seemed to be five
or six of the beasts about, and it was
only short timo before another sprang
into the opening. Mother struck him
square in the face, and five minutes
later | severely wounded third.
Tht seemed to dampon the
ardor of all, for they soon with.
drew, and the wolves returned. It
must have been that these creatures
scented the dead 1t was the first time
they had appeared in such numbers and
so boldly, and hunger could not have
been the cause OF it. They madc little
or no effort to get at the horse, but for
an hour after their return they made
desperate aud determined efforts to
break their way into the cabin. They
came against the door, six or eight OF
them at once-with such force as to
shake the house, and had not the lower
log been sunk in clay ground they
would have dug their way under.
1t was midnight before we had let
up, and the last wolf did not leave be-
fore o'clock. Up to this time mother
had not given way to her grief. When
danger passed away sho broke down,
and from then to daylight sat alone by
the door with ak in hand. looked for
Gordon at an early hour, but he did not
appear. About 10 o'clock the horse
came home, bitten in a terrible manner,
and so serious wero his injuries that he
died before nj hit. We knew from the
wounds Inflicted on the horse that he
had been pursued by wolves, and there
was little doubt about the fate OF his
rider We dared not start out in search
OF help, as We knew not which way to
go, and we dared not leave the body OF
