Beginning Again.
When, sometimes, our feet grow weary,
On the rugged hills of life
The path stretching lot g and dreary '
t With trial and labor rife r
We pause on the toilsome journey,
Glancing backward in valley and glen,
And sigh with infinite longing x
' To return and begin again.
For behind la the dew of the morning, ,
In all its freshness and light,
And before are doubts and shadows,
And the chill and gloom of the night. -We
remember the sunny places
We passed so carelessly then,
And ask, with a passionate longing, J-
To return and begin again.
Ah, vain, indeed, is the asking !
: Life's duties press all of us on,
And who dare shrink from the labor,
Or sigh for the sunshine that's gone ?
And, it may be, not fkr on before us
Wait fairer places than then,
Life's paths may yel lead by still waters
- Though we may not begin again.
For evermore upward and onward
Be our paths on the hills of life,
And soon with a radiant dawning
Transfigure the toil and the strife ,
And our Father' hand will lead us
' Tenderly upward then ; -In.
the joy and peace of a fairer world
He'll let us begin again.
THE AVALANCFii.
The following graphic account of the
perils of avalanches in the Alps is frcm
Hours of Exercise in the Alps," by
the celebrated John Tyndall, the scien
tist. A party of six were being con
ducted by two local guides and a famous
Alpine guide, Johann Joseph Bennen,
ovgr the Haut de Cry, one of the Swiss
alps. They advanced in the beginning
of te ascent very rapidly. The peak
was glistening before them, and hopes
of success cheered their spirits. After a
time they came to snow frozen upon the
surface which would bear them a few
steps and then break down. This, of
course, delayed matters and was very
fatiguing. Finally it came to a point
that, in order to reach a certain arete,
they would be obliged to go up a steep
snow field 800 feet high, 150 feet broad
at the top and 500 feet at the bottom.
Louring the ascent they sank about one
foot deep at every step. After mount
ing for some distance the two leading
men suddenly sunk abDve their waists.
They were enabled to get out after
some struggles, and presently found
better footing and came to. the conclu
sion that the snow was accidentally
softer there than elsewhere. But Ben
nen was afraid of starting an avalanche,
and said so. They started forward
againbut let the book complete thi
story :
The snow-field split in two about
fourteen or fifteen feet above us. Tht
cleft was at first quite narrow, not more
than an inch broad. An awful silence
ensued, and then it was broken by Ben
nen's voice:
' "Wir sind alle verloren" (we are all
lost;. His words were slow and solemn,
and those who knew him felt what they
really meant when spoken by such a
man as Bennen. , They were his last
words. I drove my alpenstock into the
snow and brought the weight of my
body to bear on it. It went in to within
three inches of the top. I then waited.
It was an awful moment of suspense. I
turned my head toward Bennen to Bee
whether he had done the same thing.
To ; my astonishment, I saw him turn
round, face the valley and stretch out
both arms. The ground, on which we
stood began to move slowly, and I felt
the utter uselessnees of any alpenstock.
I soon sank up to my shoulders, and be
gan descending backward. From this
moment I saw nothing of what had hap
pened to the rest of the party. ;
With a good deal of trouble I suc
ceeded in turning round. The speed of
the avalanche increased rapidly, and be
fore long I was covered up with snow
and in utter darkness. I was suffocat
ing, when, with a jerk, I suddenly came
to the surface again. The ropehad
caught, most' probably on a rock, and
this was evidently the moment when it
broke. I was on a wave of the ava
lanche, and saw, it before me as I was
carried down.
- It was the most awful sight I ever
witnessed. The head of the avalanche
was already at the spot where we had
made our last halt. The head alone
was preceded by a thick cloud of snow-
dust; the rest of the avalanche was
clear.
' Around me I heard the horrible hiss
ing of the snow, and far before me the
thundering of the foremost part of the
avalanche. To prevent myself sinking
again I made use of my arms, much in
the same way as when swimming in a
standing position. At last I noticed
that I was moving slower ; then I saw
the pieces of snow in front of me stop at
some yards distance ; then the snow
straight before me stopped, and I heard
on a large scale the same creaking sound
that is produced when a heavy cart
passes over hard-frozen snow in winter.
- I - felt that I had also stopped, and
instantly threw up both arms to protect
my head in case I should again be
covered up. I had stopped, but the
snow behind me was still in motion ; its
pressure on my body was so strong that
I thought I should be crushed to death.
This tremendous pressure lasted but a
short time, and ceased as suddenly as it
had begun. I was then covered up with
snow coming from behind me. My first
impulse was to try and! re-cover my
head, but this I could not do. The
avalanche had frozen by pressure the
moment it stopped, end I was frozen in.
Whilst trying vainly to move mv
arms, I suddenly became aware that the
hands as far as the wrists had the faculty
of motion. The conclusion
J t
hey must be above the snow. I set to
work as well as I could : it was time, for
could not have held out much lontrer.
At last' I saw a faint glimmer of light
The crust above my head was eettinsr
thinner and it let a little air pass, but I
could not reach it anv more with mv
hands : the idea struck me that I might
pierce it with my breath. After several
efforts I succeeded in doing so. and felt
suddenly a rush of air toward my
mouth ; I saw the skv attain through a
. . v w a
ittle round hole. A dead silence reigned
around me.
I was surprised to be ttill alive, and
so persuaded at the first moment that
none of my fellow sufferers had survived
that I did not even think of shouting
for them. I then made vain efforts to
extricate my arms, but found it impos
sible ; the most I could was to join the
ends of my fingers, but they could not
reach the snow any longer. After a
ew minutes I heard a man shouting.
What a relief it was to know that I was
not the sole survivor I To know that
perhaps he was not frozen in and could
come to my assistance I I answered.
The voice approached, but seemed un
certain where to go, and yet it was quite
near.
A sudden exclamation of surprise !
Bebot had seen my hands. He cleared
my head in an instant, and was about
o try to cut me out completely, when I
saw a foot above the snow, and so near
to me that I could touch it with my
arms, although they were not quite free
yet. I at once tried 1 to move the f coi ;
it was my poor friend's. A pang of
agony shot through mejas I saw that the
oot did not move. Poor Boissoult had
ost sensation, and was perhaps already
dead. Bebot did his best ; after some
time he wished me to help him, so he
reed my arms a little more, so that I
could make use of them. I could do
but little, for Bebot had torn the axe
from my shoulder as soon as he had
cleared my head. (I generally carry an
axe separate from my'alpenstock, the
blade tied to the belt and handle at
tached to the left shoulder. )
Before coming to me Bebot had helped
Nance out of the snow; he was lying
nearly horizontally, and was not much
covered over. Nance found Bevard,
who was upright in the snow, but
covered up to the head. After about
twenty minutes the two last-named
guides came up I was at length taken
out; the snow had to be cut with the axe
Jown to my feet before I could be pulled
jut. A few minutes after one o'clock p-
m. we came to my poor friend's face. 1
wished the body to be taken out com
oletely, but nothing could induce the
three guides " to work any longer, from
the moment they saw that it was too
late to save bim. I acknowledge that
they were as nearly as incapable of doing
anything as I was. V
When I was taken out of the snow the
oord had to be cut. We tried the end
going toward Bennen, but could not
move it; it went straight down, and
showed us that there was the grave of
the bravest guide Valais ever had, and
ever will have.
What a Practical Joke Cost
In July, 1877, the newspapers gave an
account of a practical joke that was
played on William Webber, of New
York, by parties who enticed him into a
saloon on the pretense that a lifting
machine was to be found there by which
their respective strength could be tested.
He asserted that they induced him to
take hold of the rings and pull, and
that, while he was exerting himself to
the utmost, Stewart, from behind the
bar, had the electricity turned on, there
by giving him a shocking shock, to the
great disarrangement of his! nervous
system. Like the frogs in the fable,' it
was almost death to poor Webber, al
though it was great fun for the saloon
man and the rest. The fun of the thing
is not quite so apparent now. I Webber
sued the saloon keeper, and the case
has been from court to court, and has
been finally settled after being over a
year and a half in litigation. Webber
gets $200 damages, and this, with costs,
makes the little pleasantry amount to a
$400 joke, which is altogether too practi
cal for the saloon keeper to go into fits
laughing over. ,
Cure for the Drinking Habit.
A tincture of cinchona rubra is ad
ministered by Dr. D'TJnger, of Chicago,
with great success, for curing the drink
ing habit. He says : I was a physi
cian at Cambridge, Md., and gave the
remedy for ague where quinine had
failed, and cured the patient. Some
time after I was In a billiard room, and
this man came, and some friends asked
him to drink. He said ' No,' and when
they rallied him upon it he told them
that Dr. D'TJnger had given him some
stuff since he was sick, and that since
then he had not wanted to drink. I
spoke to the man about it, and he per
sisted that he had no desire for liquor,
and the medicine had done it. Soon
after, an old farmer, who was a hard
drinker, came to me and asked met to
give him some of the same medicine, as
the other had told him about it. I did
so, and with the same result. Then I
tried it on a number of cases in a pri
vate way, and it never failed to cure."
Killed by a Pet Bear.
Two bears were fastened by four-foot
chains in front of the stables of Wm. H.
Thorns, a tavern-keeper at Parkville,
Long Island. One was fastened to the
stable building, the other to a poet near
by, so that they could approach to with
in a few feet of one another.
A number of boys were playing in the
road close to the bears. The village
boys were in the habit of playing with
the animals. They approached and
caught hold of them with impunity.
The bears stood a good deal of teasing,
and never offered to resent the number
less indignities which the boys heaped
upon them. The more they were an
noyed the merrier and more good
natured they appeared to become; and
while they rivaled their tormentors in
cutting capers, they always remained
harmless, and far excelled the others in
placid forbearance.
On a recent Monday afternoon there
was opportunity for1 the boys to snow
ball the bears, and they took advantage
of it They had frequently been driven
away an cf warned not to annoy the ani
mals, but the warning ,waB made on
principle, with a view to getting rid of
the boys, and those who made it had no
belief of its good faith. Among the
persecutors was Peter Stretch, son of
Samuel Stretch, of Parkville, a lad of
twelve or thirteen years of age, and a
bright, sturdy boy. It was about two
o'clock in the afternoon. The boys had
grown tired of their sport, and half a
dozen had turned to pelting one an
other. Young Stretch was standing
near Ben, the larger bear. He was
facing the boulevard, and his back was
turned toward the animal. All at once
the bear, With no especial exasperation
and without warning, walked toward
him and caught him by the leg with his
paw. The boy wore thick leather boots
outside his trousers, and the animal's
claws, although they pierced, did not
hold. But instantly the bear rose on
his hind legs, and, throwing one of his
fore paws over the lad's shoulder, caught
him with the other around the body, and
drew him into his embrace. At the
first touch the boy screamed.with terror,
and the cry attracted the attention of
several who were in the vicinityl James
Carrol, Mr. Thorn's stableman, was near
by, and he was the first to go to the lad's
rescue. Mr. Thorns himself was in the
barroom of the tavern, and he also
hastened out. Both of these, coming
upon the bear with! bale sticks which
they caught up on ihe way, belabored
him soundly, and John Conners, jump
ing from his wagon, prodded the animal
with a pitchfork. The bear, slunk away,
leaving the-boy lying face downward on
the ground. The three men picked him
up at once aud carried him into the
favern, but he was quite dead.
The whole transaction occupied scarce
ly a minute. After catching at his boot,
and while endeavoring to throw his paw
over his shoulder, the claws of the be.r
ripped the lad's scalp from the forehead
way over to the back of the neck, and
made deep wounds ini his chest. Catch
ing him then in a deadly hug, he buried
his teeth in the boy's neck, and falling
with him, drew him under his belly.
The teeth of the bear cut through the
jugular vein, and made a wound large
enough to put a finger in. v The hug
that the animal bestowed crushed in the
ribs and forced the whole breast over to
the left side. I 1 . X
A Boy's Throat Cut ; to Save His Life.
. A young lad named Henry Brinker,
who resides in Cincinnati, while eating
hickory nuts swallowed a piece of. the
shell of one about the size of a dime,
which lodged in his throat and resisted
all attempts to remove it by coughing
or otherwise. He did not experience
much inconvenience! from it, however,
and went to bed. About three o'clock
in the morning he woke up choking and
deathly sick, and rapidly became worse,
finally becoming almost incapable of
breathing. His step-father, Mr. John
Schwarte, accompanied by his brother,
started out in search of a doctor, but
though at that time it was but half-past
three o'clock, it wasj nine o'clock before
they could get one to come to the house.
They called on at least a dozen physi
cians, all of whom, on one pretense or
another, refused to come to see the boy,
though they told them he was dying.
Finally Dr. Davis eame, but on seeing
the lad, the parents say, told them he
was too far gone to do him any good.
He gave them a prescription, however,
for an emetic, which; he told them to ad
minister, and left, promising to return
at noon. In the meantime another mes
senger who had been dispatched for a
yhysician returned with Drs. Dawson
and McMechan, and the latter, on seeing
the boy's condition, determined to resort
to a surgical operation to save his life.
With Dr. McMechan's assistance, Dr.
Dawson made an incision across the
throat, and, inserting a dull probe,
scraped away the tissues until he reached
that portion of the windpipe called the
trachea, which he cut open. He then
inserted a wire, with which he felt
around for the obstruction. It was
found in the larynx, where it had
lodged, and, being sharp-edged, had cut
the flesh., and the blood had got into the
bronchial tubes, filling them and render
ing breathing almost impossible. After
the nut-shell had been removed, the
patient coughed up a large quantity of
this .blood. The wound having been
sewn up, he breathed quite freely, and
the next night was resting easily aft 3r
the operation.

Statistics given by Mr. Bichard Hall,
secretary to the meeting of cattle im
porters at Liverpool, show that there
has been a very substantial growth in
the cattle trade, especially in regard to
importations from this country. The
increase has been something enormous,
and has occurred within a few months,
instead of by slow accumulations. In
1875 only 702 cattle were imported,
while in 1878, up to the commepoement
of December, the number; was 50,000.
The total j for the year would probably,
reach 55,000, or, including sheep and

! The Refined Way.
The Music Trade Review has recent
ly found out that newspapers generally
do not like to mention the fact that a
performance of an opera or a concert
had a slim attendance, and it has dis
covered that there is a refined way of
announcing meager patronage. We do
not approve of divulging the secrets of
the sanctum, but, as a piece of public
justice, the patrons of newspapers
should j be given to understand what
certain i terms and forms of expression
mean, and we have, theref ore, com
