+<<>>- - A STORY OF THES ICE-FIELDS OF ALASKA.

Mor than twenty-five yeara ago, Ben Ring bolt and I shipped on board the North Star. Ben and I had baen brought up b "ys together; and the first time we went to sea, it was in this ship, and we never parted unti] poor Ben went on that long vovage that we have all to take sooner or later. and fram which none have ever come back to they have seen beyond Ben and [ had alwaye been like brothers, and when we went in the North Star, each of us jefta eweetheart behind, that we had pr mised to marry on our retarn; and as everything we did was’known to each other, we talk of them between ourselves, and picture their joy when we should return

Poot Ben! {Poor Mary! They little thought then, at parting, that when the ship returned it would only be a signal of sorrow to one of them.

Well, the North Star sailed away; each

won lers

us d to

day yut miles and miles between us and |

those we had left behind; and in due time we had rounded the Horn, and sailed away

up the west side of the continent, and at last |

reachal our fishing grounds. The season was we}] advaneed, so we had but little time for work; and almost before we knew it, the long nights and the cold were .vpon us; so we bore away to Alaska, where we were soon

snugly housed for the long and dreary winter |

that was coming over the ice and snow, likea

ship with her sails all set, before a spanking

breeze,

Ilere we were cooped up for good two months, with onlv now and then a turn on The sun had searcely shown his face at all, and only a few moments when it did. It wasall night, though it was light as day, for the sky was all ablaze with great flaming swords that seemed to wave to and fro as you looked upon them. You never in your life saw anything half so grand as those nights were

when there were no flaecy clouds, and the}

flames were flashing on the snow and iee. Chere was nothing that I ever saw which could compare with it.

One day. or rather night, some of the natives eame on board and reported that a huge white bear had been seen making off over the ice, towards the hilly that we conld see aparkling in the light some four or five miles away. Every one, from the captain down to the cook, was eager to go in pursuit

| of the anim il, which was decribed as being

a monster for size. Of course, all could not go. and as an ex-

ample to tho# who must be left behind, the, captain remained, and the first mate led the |

party, among whom it so chaneed were Ben and J, thanking our stars that we bad gota chanee to stretch our legs ashore. We were

| not long in being put on the trail by natives: and we were not a mile from the shore when |

we saw our game proceeding along before us some distance ahead. making its way in no hurry towards the hills, or rather cliffs of iee that stretched themsely-s along the horizon. The snow and ice were so hard, that it seemed as though we were travelling on a marble floor. and the bear left hardly

| trail enough for us to discern where it had

passed along. It was sport for uz, thas to have free nse

lafour legs; and with lond shonta, now and

then, which we found it impossible to sap- press, we hurried on in hopes of getting near ¢

enough to the bear to aend a s!

hans ithadits den. or might hide from us unless soon brought to bay. B all our harry, it reached the foot of the cliffs and began to climb up the jagged masses,

i while we were so far distant that a shot sent

after it must he well directed to have taken effect, even if the bnilet had gone as far. Onee or twice the bear had turned towards us, asif scenting pursait, and then had gane on again at the same pace as before. And now, after climbing up a jagged cliff, ashigh as the mast-head, where it could obtain a good Jook-out, it stopped and took a deliberate look #t us; and although we came hurrving on, it shewed no haste to proceed. At last the mate determined to risk.a shot ; and hring- ing his rifle to bear, he sent the bullet flying in tha direction of the monster, who rearing on his hind legs and uttering a fierce growl, showed that he had reeeived the ball. A shout of triamph broke from our throats, for we felt eure that the bear was now in our

power, and incapable of leading us a mueh |

longer chase. But in this we svon found that

| we were mistaken; for with another ‘growl lat us, it went of et aninereased pace, and in

a few momente was hidden from our sight amid the jagged masses of ice, that as we neared the footof the hill, seemed impossible for na to climb ever.

Though the way was steep and slippery, we found that we éould seenre a foothold where the bear had gone. though it had the advan- Ben wasin the advance. I next, and the rest of the party straggling ‘behind; and after a while we managed to reach the spot where the snow

'PHE BRITISH PERIODICALS.

These periodicals contain the fruits of the scholarship, wit, and genius of the jiteraty men of Great Britain, aad are alike of great value to the seholar, the professional man, or the intelligert reader. Their pages abound with elaborate criticisms, brilliant eseays, profound speculations, and with whatever of interest may be found in science, literature, morality, and religion. While they are the

acknowledged representatives of certain priv- ciples in politics, they are far from being grossly partisan.
