A Surprise Party. Tise wolves had decided on a jolly party and were even now ready to start. Not a tame affair in their own neighborhoo , but a grand oldfash'oned surprise party at Farmner Brown's, some miles distant. Thse baby wolves were no doubt snugly tucked iu bed, and their parents, theseeif-invited guests, scampered over thse snow diamnonds and under the sky diamonds. But of the ' beauties oi nature it is likely they took littie, if any, notice, for it wais bitter cold, and they were ail very hungry. They took n baskets, n bundiles, no mysterious packages-for was not Mr. Brown abund- antlv able to furnish pieuty of refreshment-a for them al 0f what these rofresisment3 would con- sist was a theme for animated discussion fori a long tine,but finaily ail agreed that there' was realiy uotising quite equai to fresisf mut.on. While chatting in this friendly,i plessant mnanner they had traversed many, miles, and now the cotumodjous farm housej was ln full viow, but, strange to relate, the, lights wère ail ot-lt must certainiy bei quito late. Weii, ail the bettor ; tisey would ai once repair to thse sheep bouse, and immediâtely enter on thse joys of thsej evening. So thither they isastened only to find thse door quite secureiy iastened and1 the windows even barred in a most luhos-i pitablo manner. Again and again they tried tise door,1 singly and together, pushing with ail their( strengtb. Then ihey scratched and bowled1 st tbe windows wtisout avail. After tisi ihey grew disagrecabie te oach other they1 were se hungry, and said and clid disagree- able Viings-tisnse in tise rear said if those1 lu front wouid only hall push tise door might be opened lu no time, and if- those att thse windows used any judginent whatever tise bars would be easiiy broken -then thosea in front and at tise windows answered backt and ail began to snarl and snap at eacb other, and were aitogether a very disagree-a able set of visitors, not sncb as we wouidt want to invite to our homes. Mesantime,y oeuo fellow more enterprising than the rest,c isad fonde an oponing betwean tise legs near the door, loto which he immed'ateiy inserted his head.
