It was 11 toriiiy rvenini in the month of N0vp1nl.fr, that a ltu-i;iu Nobleman, c.illeu lijron Jarusiilo, hi.-' wile ami little il;iuhliT 11. lens, and their faithful ervHtit Kriek. in a heavy traveling chnriot 11 mi tour, driven by to polillion, ilreiv up at tin' oidy Inn in the little town of Kuhriu, wliii lt lie on th bonier of l!u-ai.i tiJ l'ntaini. They were rclurniti" from their travels in Kurope, anil a the liaron h:ul already ovcrst tyed th time he had inteti.leil to be abu'lit Iro 11' Iidiiiv, ami the weather vn every d:iy jirow in ore ami or-t, lie wai anii.ius to press forward with all poil lo poi'd. '1 he fur cap of the po-.ti11ion.-i, the lon iiinne ami tail of their hor-e, ami even the rou.-h porliiiantcaii't were white with frol, clouils of steam roo from the weary boa-t a t la y were tinh.iriii-.-eil ami thp Ian llonl co i.iiiur tip to the door of tlu chariot observed that ln-i honor would Hot think of piOL'fcilii g ut:y fiiitlur. Nut if 1 were at liberty to follow my own iiii'linatio:i, Mild thu Unon; bill as it is I am pres-cd for time mid we niu.-tgit over, another etane to liibt." It i a lonoj one sir, f-aid th? landlord; thirty ?erti at h a-t, and y u have the forols of llo-Ur lo pax. 'lucre the road is bad and 1 daresay the snow is very deep and the wolves are ..ettin hulijry.'' Oh I am uot afraid of the wolves cried the baron; they would imt dare to attack a carriage o early in the year as this. ,i t us lone four ejoo.l hores and wo may be in by nine, lor it is more than half past sin. " Well sir, a wilful man mu-t have his own way I hupp you may not ri pent your deteriiiiiialiou. Ilorsi aon directly Nicholas. Hut may be your honor and your honors lady will take soun thin.' hot, for you will need it before you fjet to Holism." So a cup of spice wine w is brought for the travelers, and Kriek h i I a double por tion, lie sat wappeil up in a hu.'o fur eloak on a low kind ot bok in front, tor the baron's carriage, though oil lahi)iicd had been built in Kii'land. In a few moments the horses were haruc-sed the po-tillioiis crack ed their whips and amidst the thank and good night of the landlord the canine rolled on. " It is bitterly cold," said the baroness, as she pulled the elo ik more c.imph tely around her, and took little Helena on Ii.t lap : it is bitterly cold and a fearful uiht to travel in.'' " if the moon can break thro ijh the clouds, as sh,. is trying to do we shall hue , a pleasant ride yet, said the baron. " What Catherine, a ilussiau and afraid of a little snow T ' " Well I am glad we came too said llie wife; it is pleasant to think that every mile, ir.ii'itl l.rtit.rd 4 ii..-tri.r l...i.i.i nit.l Inv ! ........ . . ...j.- .. . , . dear little Nicholas nud rre.leiiea." "'l'heywi'j now passing oer a wild moor, the wind whittled mournfully round the carriage driving and i-ha-iny; the snow before it, for it was snowing heavily. The e;lare ot the lumps ca-t a ghastly haze on the immediate neighborhood of the carriage; and seemed to make the dark distance still darker. "(.Hi, mamma," cried Helen, "let mo come closer to you, it makes me afraid to look out of the window." " Why, what uhould you be afraid of, my little love ! " "One i.s always afraid in the dark, you know mamma, and theu ju.it listen to the wind, how it bowls." " .My dear child, sec the moon U just coming out, and we uliall not have to jour ney iu tho dark." Xlia clouds jissijtl offi tic tuoou was . walking in brightness j the wheel ro"ed on i noiseless, over the mow ; and as far as the eye could fee was one shining tea of white. : On paa-ed the carriage. j I " What is Kriek looting at," aaked the baroness, for the box wi so low that its oe- ' etipatit might, be seen from the front win dons of the carriage. "I cannot tell,'' sab ber husband, "but he must have good eye . if he can iuak out : anything." I "Hark! what is that?" cried his wife as ' a long low melancholy Imvl different from the w ind, and yet liki it, was heard for a ' moment, and then dieupway. " It is the wolvesi,' (leplied the Laron ; ,"t!;i eold weather run .Vtbein res'.his." ! " There it is again ; it is certainly near er," she replied. "Kriek,' said liii master, letting down the front window, "tell the boys to drive on; we must keep out of t bo way of the j wolves." j " On with you, men," shouted Erick ; and , then in a low voice he mid, 1 doubt w neth er we can altogether keep oat of their way, fir." " How U that," asked the baron, alarmed. " There is a large pack of them, ir, and they are in spent of us ; I fear at lea-t that tiny are much nearer thin v. liui I lirt heard them tell minute! ago.'1 There they are. ' " They canuot be tniro than h-tlf a mile ofiV " What are we to do," asked tho baron, " I know you are a Cetillman, and more used to these things tian I am!" " Why, sir,'' said tie servant, "if they come up with us we vill take no notice of them, unless they a taek us. They are very timid creature?, the glare of the lamps and the eiht of us will keep them off, and in an hour we shall be in . Hut 1 would advise you, sir, to draw the bullets from your large .i-to!-, and load them with swan .-hot; it would I.,' more to the purp)-e tn wound a good many than to kill one or two. ' "Oh, papa," cried IleLnn, as the baron took his pi.-:-j!' fr.;i she top of the carriage " hat shall we do ?" " We shall do i-.hst we can, my dear child, and (jod will tlo the rest lor u. l here is no very great danger froii)Hiese wolves, except iu the very depth of winter, and if there were lie who delivered lJaiid from the paw ol the lion, and the paw oi the bear, an I Daniel from the seven hungry li ons, can deiiier us also." ' Th y are coming, sir," said Kriek. The baron looked, and about a hundred )urd.s back, to the right in lue wools, he could ju t make out a g ay mi's moving ilnijugli llic mi., w I laameg t ....j the carriage track. They did uot howl, but bayed fearfully ; and so they trotted along you might hear the shu':iing and ru-lliug of tin' sno under their C t. The po-t boya plied the whip and spur; ami the b. rses themselves in agony and fear, broke out in a canter despite the hrsyy snow. " Dj you think theru i- any danger, my dear hu-band, ' said tho I arouess. " I cannot tell.'' eai.1 the husband ; they do not seem disposed to attack us as yet, but they are certainly mage. It is for the horses we baie lo fear Erst " " Are they gaining on us?" " A little ; but they are not putting out tln ir .-peed ; they coul l be up with us in a moment it tbey liked." Thus the cariiae r.lled on ; for about fife minutes Kriek DeuT took his eyes off the pack, and tho baron, thrusting himself out Iroiu the right Laud window, watched them carefully. " Are your pistols loaded, sir?" said Kr iek. " All ; with swan lint." "I have two loaded with ball and two with sh.it, o wo shall iio!'! The pack was now uot more than ten yards from the carriage there might be tiio bandied in it. At their heal an old, strong, greyheaded woif, the leader of the pack. They all came noa-er, nearer still, and at last, with a feverish hol, the leader sprang on one of the wheel hoises, and at the same received a bullet through his head from Kriek, who was prepared for him. " Now, sir, said In, '" if you will let me have a piece of string we may be able t) make something of it." "A piece ot string!'' cried his master, " ves, here it is; but lo what end! '" Why, sir, ' said lie, "wulves, like cow ar.lly creatures, as they are, are always su-prcting a trap, so I will ju t tie a stick to the string and let it draj behind the car riage, it will keep them oil I dare say, ten minutes." Kriek was rLht; the stick was dragged along about the di-t nice often yards bemud it, and they were plainly afraid of it. .t last they '-eg in to gio bolder, seemed to have iii-covered the trick ; passed the stick and were again making up to the carriage. "They will be upon us in a moment,' cried Kriek. " Wh.-ii I cry, ' now. sir," be rea ly to lire upon them Iroiu one side, and so I will upon the other." " Very well, ' replied the baron. Helen sat with her head iu her mother's lap, look ing up to her face. Her mother looked sad, but very calm she was evidently praying ' Now, sir," cried Kriek. Ma-ter and servant btti fired at the same moment, then there was a savage yell from the I jremo-t ol that tierce paci;, and three or lo ir fell. "I.oa.l again,'' cried Kriek ; " if this lasts you will want all your pi-tols soon." After they had tired once or twice, the wolves were no longer frightened by the fire a'ld Dish ; and they began to surround the coach on all sides. " There is but one tiling left," ?aid Kriek, " we must cut the traces of one of our lead ers and lurn him off that will divert tbeiu for a little while," and turning to the fore boy, he directed him to cut the traces of his off horse, Tho man obeyed ; the terrified animal (darted like the light into the forest-, and with a loud yell the whole pack rushed af ter him. "Thank (!od for tha'.:" exclaimed the baroucw. " Then we iua bo aafu olur all-'' " Ay, madam, if it plcaea Him," replied ; the servant j " but this relief will not last long, and they will soon be upon us again." "How far do you imagine we are from the post house now?" iinptiied the baron. " .Some half hour." answered Kriek. "but they will chase u, up to the very door,. I nave never seen theii. more I.ctee.

J.'ut the snow bnemin deeper, and the road worse, and ibr' C hor-?, worn o.it :th fatigue, ill fupplied the pl.ire of four fre-h ones. On the right hnd the rond thinned a little, opening into a glade in t!i centre of w hich was n pond ; p. the travelers p.v.-'.d it the pack of woh'cs appeared dashing up the valley, aud thu jaws of many were steeped in blood.

In eon usioii, allow me to inform vou toy friends that if the common, ur p iblie school system, is in operation, aud under roper tnanageiueut, what a line thing it will be. As the time draw nigh now, when your State Legislature meet-, and you ak of that honorable body to adopt tho be-t sy-teui, and make an appropriation for tho same, nnd I will iu-ure yo-i. that your n.j'do state will soon rise in education.

In the country the school, would not be tic.iliiil to be kept open ail year, but during the fall and winter iiiouJi ; but in the town, and vill; ges ail year, c.ecpt a mouth or so during th warm weather. The way the schools are conducted in the Northern State- it cannot fail that the child niii.st gain advantages.
