One morning in February Pere Carine, who was a glove manufacturer in Grenole, | France, when he came into the sittingroom to breakfast, advanced tothe window and peered out through its frosted panes. ¢ Any sign's of the storm's abating 7' he asked. I think it is freezing harder than ever,' said Annette, who would put on asemblance Saturday the Twen- | Of cheerfulness before her father. ¢ Pauline y-ninth day of Feb- [said the water in the rain barrel is a mass e o'clock noon, will | of ice to the bottom.' "A pretty cold journey I qpall have,' ¢ Are you going out, papa 7% ¢ To-morrow, child, as far as Chan.bery.' 'Chambery ! why, what can take you to nty of | Chambery 7° ¢ Business takes me to Chambery. 1 have been told of a fine lot of skins lying there to be disposed of--real kids that once ran wild on the Alps ; and 1 mean to see them for myself belore the news gots wind, and buy them up if they are worth it.' ¢ Why, you'll be a day and a night go- ing. The diligence will get along at the rate of two miles an hour. You'll be frozen fo the seat before you arrive.? ¢ Very likely I should ; but the diligence 18 not going to get me, 1 shall take the | chase and Belotee, What is the matter, Annettee 7? Aunsttee Carine had turned pale as she listened. « Have you forgotten the unsafe slate of the covatry ?" she breathed. "1 havo't much faith mn the reports,' he sligutly returned 3; ¢1 am sure they have been exaggerated. I shall carry only silver enough tor the journey, aud if the tobbers clear me of that they muet. But I shall take my pistols, and one ghmpse of their bright barrels will put a dozen such ruflins tp flight. They are not systematic robbers, remember, but starving peasants, forced by want to puny assays of crime.' Annette shivered, she scarcely knew why. A presentment of coming evil seem- ed to steel over her. +0, papa, go by the diligence!" she cried, in a low wailing tone ot entreaty. ¢ Do not risk the lonely chaise 80 In company, if you must go.' ¢ What a goose you are, Annettie," laugh- ed Pere Carine 5 ¢ you are always frighten- ed at shadows. l would not go by the crawling diligence to have the pick of all the skins in the mar- ket of Annonay 5 I should be frozed to my seat on the road." ® + x Pere Carine started next morning with] the daylight. He would arrive at Cham- bery sume time that evening, early or late, according to the roads. It is the frontier town ol Savoy 5 and the dehberate old dili- gences would make a day's journed of it in good weather. hs intention was, to ex- amine the skins that might, if he reached there an time ; if not, the very first thing the following morning, and then immedi- afely leave for home again. The next day Grenoble was in a ecommo- tion at some news which had been brought into the town, aud struck achill to the heart of Annette. A solitary traveller, coming from Sessenage, (the litle hamlet where famous clieese is made, situated about a teague from Grenoble.) had been attacked and Kitded. He was found in the road deay' | and his pockets rifled. Annette closed her eves ; a mist was cathering before them. + Ouly in coming from Sessenage,' she shuddered ; ¢ and he 18 coming from Sessenage,' she shuddered ; "and he 1s coming fiom Chambery I' ¢ Well, ita a cond thing he took his pis- But he (id not take lis pistols. He had done what many a wiser man had done be- fore him--forgotten them. As evening drew on Annette, in ber restless wandering -- for she was too uneasy to be sull - came upon their case in a hitle room opening into the cont-yard. Whether her futher trusted | to his servant to put them into the chaise, | and the servant thought his master had done 0, certain'it was there lay the case aud the pistols. 3 All the blood in Annette's heart seemed to leave it as she gazed upon them. One moment's sell-debate of what was to be done, and the next she burst into the conni- ing-house of the manufactory, case in hand where Robert Letellier, ber father's junior partner, sat alone. ¢ Youmust go to him, Robert,' she uttered, after an incoherent ex- planation ; ¢ you most go to his succor." He took the case from her-hand, but he seemed to hesitate. ¢ Iam in doubt where to look for him,' he said. ¢ Your father told me that in re- turning from Chambery he should probably turn off at the cross road, and call at Veri- pre : but he was not sure.' ¢ Vertpre 5 he never mentioned that I? ¢ No, he said they were sufficiently tun- orous m-doors about his travelling on the traffic road from Chambery, without being told that he might risk the lonely one from Vertpre. I know not which Le may have chosen.' . "Go and seek him somewhere,' gasped Annette ; ¢ God can guide to the right." Robert Letellie placed a belt round his waist and put the pistols in it, first seeinyz that they were loaded and in order. He caused a horse to be got ready with all sped, mounted it, passed out at the town gate which led to the road to Savoy, gallop- ed to where two ways branched off, and there he halted. Annette's fears and agi- tation somewhat infected his own mind. Pere Carine might be in danger. But now, which way tc choose ? The one would lead him in due course to Cham- | bery, the other to Vertpre--a farm-house some distance away, whose inmates were friends of the Carnes. How was he to know which to fix upon ? Anverte's words came to his mind :-- ¢ God can guide yon to the right." For a moment he bowed his head to the raddle bow, and a fervent prayer to be guided went up from his heart--a prayer not only of hope but of trust ; and he rever doubted that he was heard. He raised his head, re-covered it, and urged his horse on by a word,'not touching the bridle to guide it, but suffering it to take its own course, under, as he hoped, the cure warranted. Price 25 cents & Ja 23 1867, - r-g Prince Albert, March 28, 1866, Pinec Albert,Dec. 5, 1866, uidance of God. The animal flew off in the direction of Vertpre, And wow, where was Pere Carine? He had arrived at Cambery safe and sound, found the skins were really good, bargained for and secured them, starting home again betimesin the morning. About midway between Chambery and Grenole ha came to the road which branches oft to Verfpre ; having time before him, he took it, and ar- rived at the farm. There he spent an hour or two, and started for home again ia excel- lent spirits, jogging along in his chaise. I don't quite know how to describe this chaise (0 you, since we have nothing 'that aswers lo its make in America. An wrm chair upon two high wheels, with a head to it, is as much like it as anything, and that's near enough jor description. It waa a fine, moonlight night, but tha clustering trees in the thick wood to his left looked dark and weired, Little cared Pere Carine whether they looked dark or bright. Having travelled unmolested so far, he was now disposed to regard the tales of thieves as being little better than pure fables, invented by the timid ; and he laughed to think -- What noise was that 2 It was like no- thing earthly; a low, groaning sound, half wail, half howl. Pere Carine checked his mare lo listen ; butthe animal raised her cars and trembled violently. ¢ [t must have been tho wind sighing mn the forrest," said he ; ¢ it does make a dole- ful noise at times. But 1sn't1t a still night. Belotte, old girl what ails you 2 He gently shook the reigns and urged the mare on. It was a plain he was travelling on, not a road, more like a track of wasie land, wild, bare and very unfrequented. As his eyes ranged over it, so white with its lying snow in the moonlight, he thought of dreary plains where travellers lost their way nthe pathless waste and never found i again. ¢ Cheer up, my Belotte ; no fear of thieves coming here to disturb us,' laughed he ; the villiaus lie in wait in more (ravel-beaten roads. This one does not see a passenger for a week together. It Aunette knew | was on it, though my pistols nowhere, her little heart would flatter. Steady, Helotte, you are rough shod, you know ; No excuse for slipping. Thero's a good feed of corn at the journeys end, and--? There it came again; the same sound, only nearer ; a prolonged discordant bay or groan ; not like the growl of an animal, and yet not unlike either. Belotte shook till her coat became wet, and the awful sound died away in the stillness of the night. ¢ That's not the wind," ejackulated Pere Carine, its not like any beast I ever, heard. Aud it can't be highwaymen 5 they don't announce their approach. So ho! Belotie stop. my girl; we'll have a lookout back- wards.' Ho pulled up. He did not care to de- scend, but he rose in the chaise, unfastened the joints of the head, pushed it back and [ stood gazing over the extended plain. At first he could discern nothing ; no- thing but the wide tract of land, and cold and still so dreary. ~~ But again arose that terrific howl, nearer and cleamer. It served to guide his eves 10 a certain spot, where he discerned someth.ng moving, trotting stead- ily onwards in pursuit of prey =m pursuit of him. Pere Carine gave a shout of dismay and the prespiration broke out from: the pores of his skin, as it had done from poor Belotte's. He had heard tales of wolves--of the wolves appeatng in the department of the Isere during a hard and prolonged winter, and deveuring travellers; but the cases had not come under his knowledge. The wolves were after him then. Ile sank down on his seat. He whipped up the old mare to her utmost speed, litle Las-thdtestified animal needed, - Ngee for lite, Belotte," he murmured, * a race for life." A race for which he was pretty sure to loose, and he knew it. For the French chaises are never built to be light and swift. They cannot skim alongcand out- strip an enemy; with every moment the wolves would gain vpon him. The sky was of a dark intense blue, looking black to the eye at night, and a few stars peeping out. Granoble was two leagues off yet ;-- two leagues ; and the dicaded animals close upon him, Ounce more he rose in the chaise and strained his eyes backward. No need to strain them now; the danger was all too n:ar. He could «ce but one animal, a large mdeons she wolf, whose fierce teeth were gleaming in the moonlight. He supposed there might be but one. He knew at leas that they had been seen out singly in other hard winters, hunting for human spoil. The ane would be enough for him. ¢ On, on, Belotte ! on for life." The forgetful mistake concerning his pis- tols had new been almost laughed at before, but now! Pete Cinne could only whip up his mare, and in his heart seek protection of One who could look down from that dark blue sky and eee his peril. On 1t 'came, its panting breath distinct upon lis ear. He would have given haif his substance to be able to pull up the head of the chaise, that at least that little barrier might be between him and those savage teeth} but he did not dare fo hinder one precious moment, : . 0, what a yell came upon him, close to his very egr--the awful yell of a famished animal scenting his prey. Belotte's coat ran down with wet ; Belotte's master could have wrung all the clothes he wore. ¢O, horror am I to die thus ?* Something was advancing towards him in front, coming galeky fiom the distance ; even 1n his terror, which was strong and ainful as a death agony, he perceived it. {Vas it another wolf ? With his eyes strained on that in front, and his ears on strained on that behind, he droveon. But for how long? Why his life was not worth two minutes purchase. The animal sprang forward, and placed its fore paws on the back of the chaise, itseyes like evil stars, its teeth hike the fangs of death, close to the head of the victim. In the same dread moment, Pere Carine be came conscious that the approaching figure was a an on horse-back. He cowered- down to the bottom of the chaise from that awful death's head behind him, and an im- Dloring shriek, that seemed to make the oreat echoe, went forth forhelp. "The wolves are upon me. Save me from them." The creature was completely up now, hanging over the top of the chaise, its guant form conspicaous in the moonlight. There was a shot, and the animal's death knell, as it tumbled to the ground, over one of the whee's. _ Belotte stopped and Pers Carine was in a fainting fit, ¢ Was 1you who saved me 7 he mur- mured, when he revived, and loakedjup at Robert Letellier. ¢ Yes, I am thankful to say it. Be still and rest yourself. I'll tio my horse lo the tail of the chaise and drive yon home. Bet- ter the horse there than your ugly custom= er. ¢ Hut what brought you here 7? 'A fear lest you might be in danger-- not, however, this sort of danger. God guided me.* . When they arnived at home, Miss Catine and Annetlee mel them. Pere Carine took Robert's arm and led him into the saloon. ¢ Thank him, both of you,' he said ; "he has saved my life. But Tor nim, I should have been lost' s Annette clasped her hands, and smiled throogh her glistening tears. Mademoisele her aunt, was somewhat incrednlous. ¢ Did one of the thieves nitack you ?' said she, turning up her nose. ¢ Such attacks rarely have danger in them.'. «It was a sort of thief that 1 hope will never attack you," answered Pere Carine. ¢ Robert you are my real parner from this might, and the half of my fortune shall be made over to you. 1 would have given the whole of it in that hour of peril 10 any one who would save me.' em pe------------ A STRANGE STORY. The Glasgow Herald tells the following very strange story :-- In March, 1858, the dead body of a man was found floating in the Clyde. It curious- ly happened at this very time that two men were missing at Glasgow, the husbands re- spectively of Mrs. 8 -- and Mrs. T--., A gentleman, a friend of the latter woman, knowing of the strange absence of Mr. T--, called at the dead house to look at the corpse of the drowned man, which was considerably decomposed, and could only be identified by marks not whelly dependent upon corpareal preservation. After minute inspection, this gentleman came away con- vinced that the body was unquestionably that of Mr. T--, to whose wife or widow he communicated his conviction, The wo- man on arriving at the dead house, found that the corpse had been aliealy claimed by the other woman as the body of her hus= band. This put an end, for the time, to the more serious side of Mrs. T--'s anxiety,and sho returned home comparatively co nforted. The remains of the man were buried in due course, and the widow mourned as for the death of one whom she would never again behold. S--, however soon after turned up again in the flesh, and Mrs. T'-- Lelieved that the corps she had seen was that of her husband. She now considered and was considered by her friends a widow after the lapse of some years she again married. Six or eight weeks ago, however, T'-- made his appearance in Glasgow j and it turned out that since his disappearance he had been working at his trade in England. et ee A SUNNY TEMPER, You gain nothing by fretting ; yon only waste your strength by it. Choose your work, plan as skiltully as you can, put your whole heart into what you are about to do, and leave the rest to a kind Providence that overlooks not a single one of us. Do you know how many years of your hfe and hap- piness are mortgaged by this habit of wor- rying 2 And after ull, what does it accom= plish 24- Haw. doesnt help -gou.on 2 -How much strength does it bring to you 1n your labors and exertions 7 None--none what ever. A uffled temper all the time throws to the surlace the * mire and dul' of the nature j it does not combine (the best ele- meuts and help them to work together to the best advantage, but only the worst and zives them alone all the chance. A bean- tiful sunny temper is no sign of weakness, as many suppose, butof strength and har- mony of character. It shows that there isa power seated at the center of the being that knows how to administer the Government. Lord Clarendon wrote of anger, that it is the most impotent-passion that occupies the mind of man; 1 effects nothing it goes about, and hurts the man who Js possessed by it more than any other against whom it is directed. He knew the human heart. The worst of anger is, if you give the reins to it for once, it in still more difficult for you to keep them yourself the next time, and makes over just co much of it to the eremy. But a cheaiful temper is like the genial sun in whose warm rays all men like to bask. The possessor of such may not, perhaps m.ke as many state and trembie at his barbed, phrases of satire or &corn, but he will certainly make more devoted and lov- ing lriends, and what is more, be very sure to keep them. . ES Severar Weeks Deap ann DioN'r Know 11 --A gentleman of New Orleans during the late epidemic, disgusted at the dullness of the season and fearful for the safety of his family, closed his house, leav- ing his furniture in the building, and re- moved across the lake. He had not en- joyed the luxury of baked red fish and sea bathing many days before his name was brought to the registry of deaths and record- ed as one of the defunct. Two sharpers, one acting as principal and one as security, shortly afterwards opened a succession.-- The Registry of death was called upon to prove the disease of the unfortunate ad- mirer of maritime enjoyment, and little difficulty was experienced in showing that he had died intestate. One of the two was appointed administrators the other going his bond. The furniture was sold at aue- tion, and the proceeds pocketed.
