to use them before leaving the country.
A sailor will buy anything he sees, ana,
somehow we wanted these skates Tor the
purpose of pointing to them some tme' ana
saying that we got them in Sweden
The brig was taken to sea by a steam
tug through a lane of ice, but foul Weather
came on the very first night out, and three
days afterward we found ourselves at anchoI
in a small bay fifty miles to the northward
of Gehe, with the loss OF our fore-yard, ana
with the main-mast badly sprung.
The southerly storm which had prevailed
had cleared the shore OF ice, thus enabling
us to make harbor, but the cold lmmedlateiy
became so intense that within the next thlr-
Of Swedish winter. 1t was scarcely the
middle of November. but there would PROB
ably be no escape till spring.
We were in communication with con-
siderable village, some two miles from us;
and at first, in going and returning, enjoyed
much in the use of our new skates; but IL was
not long before an accumulation OF snow
upon the harbor ice obliged us to lay them
aside We wondered, however, if it would
not be possible to make them available upon
the new ice which was. constantly forming
outside upon the Gulf of Bothnia.
On Christmas Day. the captain gave all
hands permission to go where they would,
and, as the new ice had very tempting
appearance, we started out to reach 1t over
a mile OF two of snow. This ice stretched
far out upon the gulf, ana; having Iorlieo
when the water was smooth; presented a
good surface for our purpose.
Putting on our skates, we set off ON
hno parallel with the shore, and toward a
small islet lying to the northward of us.
We had in the morning seen two or three
struggling wolves about the harbor head
lands, where some heavy timber was growing,
and It may have been the recollection of
these which caused the Shields man to re.
mark, as he started upon his bright steel
runners, that he believed he could skate down
any wolf that ever lived, and wished that

great Swedish mining district, stands at the
mouth of the Gefe River, in sixty-one de-
grees of north latitude
ne America at once commenced loading
we TOOK IN m hemp merely as necessity in
sstowage. The iron bars were built acob-
mouse fashion, with the hemp pressed firm
ly into the intervals. There was then ar
ranged above the whole floor of planks,
between which and the deck beams were
set rows OF stanchions driven into position
by a heavy sledge. These stanchions were
to be inspected daily upon the homcward
passage, for every one of us knew that the
starting of a single bar of iron in gale
might occasion the loss of the vessel with
all on board.
The bEg's foremast hands were four in
number..Tom, Dick, Peter and myself. Tom
was big clumsy English bully-a Shields
manor what sailors call a Gordey; Dick
was capable, intelligent Yankee, who had
been much in the navy, and had been on
board the ,kearsarge when she sank the Ala
banla while Peter was Swede, and of great
service to us as interpreter while we lay
at Gefe.
Poor Dicks one failing of intemperance
had caused him to remain before the mast
Tor twenty years, when he might otherwise
have risen to the command of ship. But
ne was SO peaceable that the Shields man
boasted of being able to handle three such
chaps, at any time, although there was still
something in Dicks appearance which kept
the siordey from provoking him too far.
Before we were ready for sea, it became
so bitterly cold that the Gefe River was
frozen over, and communication with the
gulf was kept open only by the constant
plying of steamboats, through the ice.
The. Swedes about us were preparing for
the skating season, and we sailors. all
Of whom, even to the coarse and brutal
Gcrdey, had practiced the sport in boy
hood. took the freak. to provide ourselves
with a pair of the substantial Swedish run

we had little hope of finding an opportunity

Are There Any Fairies Now

Hope and Faith with Patience dwell.
Where the towering mountains be;
Nought disturbs the charmed spell
Of their peace and harmony.
Lives blessed one we know,
By the name of Charity
Name that sets our hearts aglow,
And stirs to human sympathy.
In her tender eyes the gold
Far outweighs the worthless dross;
Somewhere in the spirits fold,
There's a gain outweighs the loss.
Need we name those sad of mien-
Hate and Envy and Distrust--
In their eyes the brightest scene
Shows some darkened stain or rust.
In the twilight fairies come;
List the message that they bring!
Round the door of every home,
Fairies still are lowering.

some of them would come off far enough
to give him the opportunity.
The smooth ice on which we were, ap..
preached close to the outermost point OF
the island. But before reaching this place
the rest of us had considerably distanced
Tom. who was at best very Indifferent
skater.
Just as he was passing the wooded point
we heard him utter shout of terror, and,
looking back, saw four huge wolves making
their way towards him at gallop.
A Swedish wolf is not American wolf
by any means, and we knew that there was
real danger.
The Gordey, at utmost speed, fled directly
out upon the Bothnia ice, while Dick, Peter
and myself, wheeling about, gave chase to
the grim animals that pursued him.
Our shouts frightened them, and, making
a wide sweep to avoid us, they scampered
back to the shore. On reaching it, however,
they were reinforced by others. How many
might come to join them within the next
ten minutes, it was impossible to say, and
discretion upon our part would be wisdom.
We counted the hungry shapes that al:
ready appeared, and there were nine of
them-immense creatures, like mastlffs, only
more rough and gaunt. Then we saw two
others coming along the island to join them.
us. 1t would not answer to wait where we
were, for there might soon be hundred.
First giving Cooley start OF forty or
fifty rods. we turned and skated away; The
themselves to a furious gallop IN pursuit.
We soon came up with poor Tom; but It
would never do to abandon him, and we had,
in some measure to abate our speed
Our situation was startling, and almost
hopeless. The wolves were rushing on--eeven
raging monsters-and, though at first some
what distant, were gaining rapidly. They
did not yelp, but came bounding on in utter
silence, with all the eagerness Of a merciless
hunger.
Don't leave me behind!" cried Tom, as
he found himself a yard or two in the rear.
'For goodness sake, don't leave mel"
The words were hardly out of his mouth
when his left skate gave way, and down
he went upon the ice.
It was an awful moment; but Dicks voice
instantly rang out clear and strong:
"Stand byl'' he cried. 8" Bout ship, and
bear right down upon 'em! Crack on all sail,
right in their teeth, and yell as loud as you
canp
We wheeled Instantly, our skates ringing
cut sharply as we did so, and plunging di-
rectly toward our pursuers, shouting with
all our might.
The effect was magical, and in a moment
every wolf was in full fight for the island,
though some of them were so near us as
they turned that we could almost have caught
them by the tail.
The brig was reached in safety. And after
this the Gordey seemed different man. He
no more talked of handling three such chaps
as Dick, but was free to own that he owed
his life to the prompt decision of the brave
American sailor.
II was not until the beginning of May
that we were enabled to make, sail for home,
which was reached in the latter part Of June:
Bothnia.

kNT y lSHAI4L never forget our voyage in
I&H the brig America to the Gulf of
k@k ~ Bothnia. We had arrived in the
A6M&n1 Elbe, with cargo OF sugar. from
S.Sas9 Santiago de Cuba, and after dis
charging our freight at the great
seaport OF Hamburg, which hes seventy
ms mules up the river had been ordered to
iron for the United States
Our passage up the Elbe, with pretty
villages and broad German farms on each
side, had been an occasion of much inter-
est, and, as we dropped down the stream,
the various scenes lost nothing of their
attractiveness. Steamers or sailing craft of
almost every nation were about U.S. and we
felt ourselves in the very heart of European
enterprise.
The wind being fair, we came down the

bore away for the Baltic.
The Skager Rack was soon reached, and
away to the nothward could be seen the
Maze of Norway.
Then we entered the Cattegat, and next

of Kronborg, arose close our starboard.
We had not now. however, to let go our
halyards by way obeisance, before the old
Zealand town, for the days of the s'sound
dues" were over.
The "dues," as most readers may be aware,
were taxes imposed by the Danish Govern
ment on all vessels trading to the Baltic,
and the ceremony of letting go the top-gal-
lant-halyards was always required, as the
ship hove her topsails aback under the cas-
ties guns, while her captain produced his
strong box.
Our brig, upon the voyage am describing
was one of the first among American YES
sells to pass the sound after the abatement
of this annoyance.
The wide Baltic now opened before lis.
The season was getting late and the weather
stormy.
One night, we came within an ace Of roina
hard and fast upon the Swedish island Of
Gothland, and one may imagine the alacrity
with which the watch below sprang upon
deck, and the vehemence of the captains
voice as he sent forth his 'hard-a-leei" his
"tacks and sheetsi" and his "mainsail haull"
while he himself sprang to the wheel, in order,
by relieving the helmsman, to increase The
number of hands forward
Once we felt the keel touch ground, while
the breakers rolled close under the lee.
But it did not touch second time, and the
brig was presently standing off from the
danger. 1t was just rub and got"
Then the sailors grumbled at what they
called the nonsense of sending us up the
Baltic so late in the fall, and said that should
we ever reach the Gulf of Bothnia, we would
more likely than not get frozen in there

ES, my darling! fairies still
Hover round the open door
Fairies both of good and i'll
Just the same as days of yore.

There's a fairy, sometimes known
By the name of Thoughtfulness;
Light her step and soft her tone,
And her mission usefulness.
Mindful of the smallest part,
This good fairy takes her way;
To the one of heavy heart,
She has cheering words to say
Hand in hand, with Love she goes,
Through the realm of Fairyland,
And the blessings she bestows,
Crown her queen of all the band
There's another, that we call
Patience, when we see her face;
For no task, or great or small,
Mars its sweet and steadfast grace.
