his voice, and showing a degree of submission scarcely
differing, in any respect, from that of the most thoroughly-domesticated
dog. His master, being obliged to be absent for a time, presented his
pet to the menagerie, where he was confined in a den. Here he became
disconsolate, pined, and would scarcely take food; at length, he was
reconciled to his new situation, recovered his health, became attached
to his keepers, and appeared to have forgotten "auld lang syne," when,
after the lapse of eighteen months, his old master returned. At the
first sound of his voice--that well-known, much-loved voice--the wolf,
which had not perceived him in a crowd of persons, exhibited the most
lively joy, and, being set at liberty, lavished upon him the most
affectionate caresses, just as the most attached dog would have done.
With some difficulty, he was enticed to his den. But a second separation
was followed by similar demonstrations of sorrow to the former; which,
however, again yielded to time. Three years passed away, and the wolf
was living happily with a dog which had been placed with him, when his
master again appeared--and again the long-lost, but well-remembered
voice, was instantly replied to by the most impatient cries, redoubled
as soon as the poor fellow was at liberty. Rushing to his master, he
placed his fore-feet on his shoulders, licking his face with every mark
of the most lively joy, and menacing the keepers who offered to remove
him. A third separation, however, took place, but it was too much for
the poor creature's temper: he became gloomy, refused his food, and, for
some time, it was feared he would die. Time, however, which blunts the
grief of wolves, as well as of men, brought comfort to his wounded
heart, and his health gradually returned; but, looking upon mankind as
false deceivers, he no longer permitted the caresses of any but his
keepers, manifesting to all strangers the savageness and moroseness of
his species.

Another instance of the attachment of wolves is mentioned by Mr. Lloyd,
in his work on the Sports of the North. Mr. Greiff, who had studied the
habits of wild animals, for which his position, as _ofueerjaeg maestare_,
afforded peculiar facilities, says: "I reared up two young wolves until
they were full-grown: they were male and female. The latter became so
tame, that she played with me, and licked my hands, and I had her often
with me in the sledge, in winter. Once, when I was absent, she got
