The term of school ended about the first of December. My uncle was at that time carrying on lumbering operations forty miles from home, on the outlet of Lake Winibiq- oshish, one of the lakes which form the head waters of the Mississippi River. He invited me to join him 9.1: the end of the school term. I had never been in a. lumbering camp, and determined to spend a month or two in the pine woods with him. There was fine hunt- ingâ€"deer, foxes, musk-rats, lynxes, and other animals in the reaion; _ When I was a boy, all my near relatives thought that I was “cut oua” for a Metho- dist minister. Upon what particular traits of my character they based their opinion I cannot) say, for I am not able to affirm with truth that my general department was to he recommended as a model for other boys to follow. Perhaps it was because my face had a. naturally solemn and wise expression. 3 nun-u.” a...“ nu"... _ , That was in the spring of 1870. The Minnesota climate acted like magic upon my overstrelned nerves, and the beginning of autumn found mersstored to strength, and so far recovered as to be able to take a. school to teach. More than half the people in the district were Swedish and Norwegian settlers, and I experienced no end of trouble, with note few ludicrous incidents, in under} standing their broken Englishand their odd customs. In the settlement where I had been teach- ing there was a young Norwegian, Lars Bjork, two or three years older than I, who had trapped and hunted about Winibigoshieh forgaveral years. . 1 . In the general alarm at my oonditicn, my relatives again came to the front. and aug- geated v. chmgeâ€" a trip to the West. Straightwny an aunt on my mother’s side, who had married a lumbermn and lived in Northern Minnesota, being duly made aware of the state of things, invited me so visit her funny, and thitheg I want. A: IONA TLA About the lake shore and along the river be constructed “ dead falls" for mink, martin and otter. A few otter had been captured by the Norwegian the previous winter, but they were exceedinglv shy, and not abundant. Be that as it may, at the suggestion and with the advice of my far-seeing relatives. I was brought up to regard the Methodist ministry as the goal of my studies, and with commendable ardor my father, who was not wealthy, lent every effort to the attainment of this object. In consequence of the great zeal with which I seconded their views, I found myself at twenty with health much impaired, and mind weakened to a degree that unfitted me for further study. _ He was a skilnt Woodsman, and a thor- oughly goodâ€"hearted young man, strong, sturdy and intelligent, He had been a chopper at the camp through the autumn, but as he thonghh that he could earn more money at trapping and hunting, my uncle willinglylet him off, and acquiesced in my plan t9 accompany him {or a trip of a tow weeks around the foot of VVinibigoahish, twenty miles above the camp. he also ofi'ered us a spare muleâ€"“ Bingo " 0y name â€"to haul our outfit. 'For three or four weeks but little snow fell. There was just enough to make the ground excellent [or tracking game, and we were successful in securing quite a pack of furâ€" two of the coveted etter skins among others. It; was a long day’s trump. lt was getting late when we arrived at: the place settled upon for the camp. Nothing could be done that night, beyond throwing up a temporary shelter of saplings and evergreen boughs, beneath which we crawled with our robes and blankets, and with our feet to a. bi fire of dry pine logs. slept till morning. but is to say, Lara slept, but; the unusual and lonely situation drove sleep from my eyes for_many hours. We logt no time in selecting a. site for our winter camp. At the end of two days, with Bingo's help in drawing the logs into place we had oonstrucSed a comfortable hut, its chinks tightly calked with moss to keep out the shifting snow, which, in that cold region, usually falls in fine dry crystals. Against; the back side of the but we also threw up a rough “ lean‘to" for Bingo's accommodation. WVAfter getting our camp in order, we turned our attention to business. Lars set all the stegl {rays which We _had {ax-ought. We had trapped several wolvés, too, which proved that there were numbers of them about us. Yet as Lars had exhibited no fears concerning them, I felt none. Sev- eral times, on our long snow-shoe tramps across the country, we had caught sight of them running with great swiftness, but: we could never come near enough for a shot. It was the middle of December when we started out from camp. We had an odd as- sortment of provisions, buffalo skins, blan- ket’s, oamp utensils, tools for constructing a. log but, traps, guns,snow-ehoes, alittle rus ny stove, and two bundles of pressed bay to eke out Bingo’s browse diet, all loaded securely on an old sled. We followed the smooth, ice-bound river, which, as but little snow had fallen, furnished a good roadway. At length the snow began to come down in earnest nearly every day. The cold was intenle. We had been down to my uncle’s camp once for supplies and for the mail, which was brought in occasionally by one of the men. â€"â€"EBTn§B: 13601“ Beast, was hitchel in a. birch thicket A little way 06', where he browsed diligenjly. .. . . .. -. ‘- On Cnndlemne Day we awoke to find that a genuine blizzard had struck us. “’e were entirely out of meat, for game had been scarce on the line of our traps for several days, and we had decided to devote this day to supplying our larder. Now there was nothing for it but to stay in shelter till the storm was over. _ For three days and nights the gale blus- tered and howled through tha tree-tops above our hut, whirling the snow in such thick clouds as nearly to smother one out of doors. We dared not venture two rods from the hut, for fear of never finding our way back throught the blinc‘iing Qrift. “v... The cold we: Almost unbearable. With all our effort: we could scuosly keep from freezing. Fortunately. we had prepare-:1 a supply of wood only a few yerda from the door, and by turns we went throu h the drlfts, dug out an armful, and gnidedlzy the other'a voice, crawled back to the but, with hair and clothes and eyes pelted full of-snow. Even with all the fire we could keep. I was obliged to wrap myself in one of the buffalo robes, and crouch in a corner nearest: the stove. Lars, a true son of the North, and accus- tomed to fierce blizz arda, kept: busy mending our clothes, traps and “ skees," or snow. skshes, such 35 are used in his now- b9_upd native country, and whistled merrily, A BUN YOK LIFE. After getting a little way back from the lake, the country was open, with the excep- tion of strips of timber, bordering the streams. Upon the banks of two of these. we decided to set some of the traps, which had been taking nothing about the lake for several days. ‘ In the afternoon I started a doe, in a broad strip of timber, near a creek. As it bounded off over the snow I fired. but miss- ed. Scarcely had the report been heard when my companion’s rifle cracked, and at the snme moment I heard him cry out sharp- 1y, as if in distress. v s n,s 31..-- __, Much alarmed, I hastened in the direc- tion of the sounds and found that a most distressing accident had happened. The doe had run toward Lars, who, while skimm- ing alon to get a nearer and more effective shot, be broken through the snow which had drifted over some small shrubs. His rifle was discharged as he fell forward, and the bullet had entered his left ankle, mak- ing a terrible wound. Lars Bjork was a man of much courage and as stoical as an Indian, but the pain was so great that he swooned dead away. I, on my part, was so overcome, that for a moment I lost my head entirely and could do nothing. But Lars soon recovered con- sciousness and instructed me how to bandage the limb and stop the flow of blood. while the wild wind sent little eddies of snow yvhjrling through the chinks into his yellow hair. The fourth morning dawned bright and clear. The weather had moderated, but the snow lay four feet deep over the whole country. Our little but was nearly buried, and so hard were the drifts packed that I, who was about forty pounds lighter in weight: than Lara, could run over them any- where. The Norwegian wouid now and than sluamp through them. After an early breakfast, we started out on our akees, which were made of ash, five or six feet long, very narrow, thin, and as smooth as glass. They were bound to the foot by straps, and with them one accustom- ed to their use can skim over the snow with great awiftness. Although I was thoroughly at hone on ice-skates, it was some time, with Lars‘a teaching, before I could keep page with I, ,I t,,_,,, L‘7A But the cold weather had given us tre- mendous appetites, and our diet had been very tame. We knew that animals could not have moved about much in the deep snow during the long storm. and that they musthave become famished. Accordingly, we thought that new game of all sorta would be eatir. How to get him to camp was the next question. In this matter, too, Lars’a braiv was more fertile than mine. Some Port of hand-sled, he declared, must be improvised, and I must go to camp, which was about three miles distant, after the axe, auger and ropegt _.. . . .. . u ‘. 5. I disliked to leave him alone in his dis- tress, but there was no other way ; so, after providing him with a. bed of boughs, I start- ed off, and as I had now become expert in the use of those wonderful sizes, in less than an hour I had made the trip and was back again. . . . u .- 1- Obeying Lars’a direction, I now out two birch saplings, having natural crooks, for runners, and smoothed them 03 with the axe. Then I bored holes and put in cross bars. Upon these I laid boughs and one of the when which I had brought from camp. The sled was now ready, and my wounded companion managed to crawl upon it. As we had frequently seen them, while out trapping, I did not at first feel aim-med. But soon a. series of pxolonged howls from behind warned us that, maddened by ex- treme hunger and the taste of blood, they were in pursuit, and that others were joining in the chase. coming out from the timber as we hurried along. I glanced at Lars. His face was vervahite, but be grasped his rifle firinly. 1 'now fully realized our peril and put faith my utmost eflogtsz‘ The load was not very heavy after getting: under way over the smooth, hard snow‘ We went on at a. good pace and had accom- plished half smile from the place where the accident occurred, when chancing to look back, I saw four or five animals about the spot, scrambling and apparently fight- ing with each other. I mentioned it to Lars. With an efi‘brfi he turned to look back. H‘V‘ They’re wolves,” he said. “ Get to c3139 3; fast a_s y_ou cat} 1" The bruises had sneaked from some covert in the timber as soon as we had started, and were licking the blood off the snow. They might even have been in pursuit: of the doe, the cause of our misfortune. The country was half-open here. I had heard that it is the habit of wolves, when in large numbers, to try to surround their prey. I was certain that was what they meant to do if they could come up with us. Moreover, I soon found that they were gaining, in spite of my exertions. ‘ We had covered hardly more than a mile and a half of the distance, when in going over some concealed shrub, where the snow was challow,'the sled broke through and threw me down. I thought it was all over with us then,§bua I was not entangled, nor was anything brok- en, and scrambling to my feet, I jerked the sled out of the snow and was 05 again in a twinkling. But the howls of the pack had come fem-fully nearer. " Fly to camp, mine friend 1 Fly to camp Don’t mind me !" the brave Norwegian now exclaimed, as we dashed along. “They’ll have us both. But drop me and you can get: t2 the_ cainp'” u “ Fire back Tum them E” I paused, for I fell: ready to drqp. Lara menngxi to turn around and dis- charged his rifle, and at this unexpected salute the oncoming pack halted for a. mo ment. This gave us a little time and I made the most of it, yet we had not gone fifty nrds further before the troop were again in 1111 cry ; and although he continued to fire as fast as he could reload, the ravenous brutee now paid no attention to the reports. But at last, and, as it chanced, with his final cartridge, he hit one of the foremost ot the pack. The creature fell, and immediate- ly the others set upon him after the manner of wolves. This again gave us a little start. Yet they quickly tore their wounded fellow to pieces and were after us again, more greedy then ever, before we had got out of their eight among the scattered timber. Then I thought of a fox which we had trep- ped, and I had tossed under the robe beside Lara. at starting. _ “ That fox 1" I gasped. “ Pitch that out I" Overboard went: the precious gray fox. Then onâ€"onâ€"on, for life again. Bus we were within twenty mix of camp now, and with a fresh spurt Idashed for the door and reaching it, ran inside, sled and all, at 0115 Eng] leap. Tne door €755 slammed to and ban-ed ;and mad at our escape, the hungry creatures dashed themselves against it, like a foaming sea-wave. The truth ot the following comical war story is vouched for by; its narrator, John Eaten Cooke. A body of Federal cavalry had approached very near the Confederate lines, and two or three of them who had gone out to forage, came to a. cabin in the woods, and after careful reconnoitring, rapped at the door. A negro women an- ewered the knock, and seemed very much disturbed at the sight of the blue coats. “ We want some supper." “ Yes, sir." “ But first, in there anybody here 2” "No, sir." “ Are you sure 2" > “ Qh, they ain't nobody here but meâ€" But: we were safe. I dropped upon the 03113 1‘! our iexhamsted. Till nearly midnight the furnished animals raged about the hub. Then a liable later we heard a. sudden and most nppalline' outcry. But it was as quickly hushed. The wolves had broken into the “lean-co.” In the morning all was quiet. I took Lara, who had passed a night; of agony. on the sled, and again set 011' down the river toward my uncle’s camp, which we reached about; noon. The Norwegian was taken ho_n_le and ultimately recovered. Next day I wenb'back to our camp with two of the men, and brought out our furs and traps. But I had no further desire to hunt that winter. Poor Bingo! There was nothing left of him to tell of his fate. Iceptn_ “ Except who 2" “ Only Colonel Mosby, sir." “ Colonel Mosby l l l" exclaimed the speak- er, with at least three exclamation points in 3:8 accent, and getting hastily into his and- e. “ Are you joking ?” he added. “ You‘d begpgl: not. _ I5 Colonel Mogby pare ‘2" “ Ye-s sir,” stammered the woman in great terror ; and at the same moment a low noise like thst produosd by the footstep of a man was heard inside. No sooner did the men hear this than they turned their horses’ heads and galloped ofl’ to their command, where great excitement at once ensued. It; was necessary to act: with much c511- tion. Moaby‘s desperate courage was well known, and he would make all the stouter resistance because he was sure to be hanged to the first; tree if he was captured,â€"as 9. “ bushwbacker” and an outlaw. Elabnrate prepmrntione wars made, the cabin surrounded, and the door suddenly burst open. Men rushed in with cocked pistols. But no rebel was to be found. “ Where is Mosby ?" thundered the officer. “ Oh, there he is," was the trembling re- ply of the woman. “ Where 2” “ There, air.’ to the cradle. “ What do you mean 2” “ Oh, air 1 I don’t meanâ€"I didn’t mean nothiu’ !

They, on their part. looked from the woman to the baby, sucking away at his thumb ; scowled, growled, took another look ; saw chat the old woman had toli the truth ; then they burst out laugh- ing. took to their horses, and were soon out of sight. There is a- work being quietly carried on by many persons in various ways. the im- portance and dignity of which are seldom recognized. It is not that of doing great or brilliant or illustrious things, but of mak- ing it possible that others shall do them. When men see one who surprises them by some exceptionally fine achievement ; the author of some brilliant discovery or grand invention ; some strong statesman who be- csmes a power for good to his country ; some wise reformer or philanthropist who brings light and help to the ignorant and unfortu- nate. they are content to admire and honor the man without inquiring into the sources which may have fed his genius or inspired his enthusiasm. To those who are not vain and selfish the possibility of this quiet but efl'eotive work will appeal with much force. Only a few can distinguish themselves in any depart- ment of life ; but all can in some way enrich the lives and forward the labors of those few. Take the home, for instance, that shelters the infancy and trains the childhood of one born with a large capacity in some given direction. How much of what he may be to the world depends upon the influences which shape his earliest years! The father and the mother, with perceptions sharpened by love, can stimulate and en courage whatever is best within him, can fortify his resolution, direct his education, open to him oppnrtunities, and tins prepare him for a life of great value, in which they also will truly live and rejoice. Then there is the faithful, intelligent. and wise teacher, living 3. quiet, perhaps an obscure life, but so sheping the minds and stimulating the powers of her pupils that some of them per- haps attain to heights which she herself could never reach. Yet there are none of the truly great men of the world who do not owe much of their greatness to the influence of persons of whom the world has never heard. Most of them are conscious of this. and gladly and gratefully recall the inspiration, en- couragement, or Wisdom gained from an honored parent, a respected teacher, a thoughtful friend. Much, however, of such influence has beer. unconsciously given, and as unconsciously received. Noble lives are continually being nnorished by other noble lives. and none can tell how largely they may be contributing to the world’s welfare and joy, by simply making it possible for others to develop faculties and produce results which for themselves would have been impossible. A case came before the Sheriff's Court at Dundee, bootland, recently in which awo- msn claimed aliment from her three sons-in- law. The sheriff decided that “ the liability of a aon-in-law to support his wife’s parents was a natural one which he was bound t takeover with his wife." The mother-i110 law, in Scotland at least, is thus a firmly established institution with a legal status now added to her former great moral weight in the household. A Quiet Power for Good.

The earnings of the Canadian railways are showing up well when compared with other through lines across the border. The statements of the New York Central and Lake Shore roads show considers-hie defi~ ciencles as compared with last year. The Grand Trunk continues to increase, the earnings for the past four weeks being 850,- 100 more than the corresponding four weeks of 1887. The gross earnings of the Cons- dian Pacific for Ontario were $1,348,700; working expenses, $768,837; net profits, $579,933. For the ten months ending Oc- tober 31, 1888, the figures are as follsws :â€" Gross earnings, $10,720,130; working ex- penses, $7,847,289 ; not profits, $2,872_841 ; a gain of $243,529 over the corresponding period of last year. The earnings for the week ending Nov. 30th were $391.000, as against $372,000 the same week of 1887. Here is a curious studv in figures,” said the expert accountant. “ Multiply the fig- ures 1, 2. 3, 4, 5. 6, '7, 8. 9. by 45 and we get this result : 5,555,555,505. Reverse the fig- ures : 9, 8, 7. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, l and use the same multiplier, and we get another curious string as follows : “4,444,444,445. Taking the same figures as the mutiplicaud and revers- ing the figures 45 â€"54 â€"we get an equally curious result: 6,6661666,606.

In 1834. $750 each for lots on Broadway and Fourteenth Street was scouted as a crazy demand. In the same year $1,200 for a lot on Fifth Avenue and Fourteenth Street was a wildly speculative venture; but in 1835 such lots were sold at auction for $13,000; in 1836, for $23_000, and may now be worth $100,000. In 1836, Anthony J. Bleeker sold lotsin Harlem for $1.000 each. Ten years later the same lots sold for nine dollars each over and above incumbrancea, and ten years later still sold for $2,500 each. In 1836 he sold sixty-(melon! in Paterson for'S42,000. and in 1842 resold them for $3,000. Since then they have commanded upward of $150,500.
