bear the shuck, and she took the fatal -resolution of
destroying herelf. Her connexions are most re-

A very interesting event lately took place in the
Commune of Solback, on the Right Bank of the
Rhine.—• Two children, one three, the other four
years old, had wandered. froM home in the morning,
and lost themselves in a place called the Shinthal.
Their parents soon missed them,- and sought for
thin in the greatest distress of mind the whole day.
They were not to be found. Night came on ;
their alarms and anxiety increased; ail their neigh..
,bouts -came to their assistance. The tocsin was
rung in the neighbouring Communes, and all the
Inhabitants, armed with guns, lanthorns, and dogs,
searched every valley, hill, and dale. It was a.

singular sight to see so many lights wandering over
the xmoontains at midnight. 'No tidings were
'watt!, no traces obtained of the innocent wanderers.

At length their own dog, who had accompanied the
p:aents, came-running to them. He had traced the

babes, who were lying in each others arms on the
snow. , The boy had his arms thrown over his
little sister, whose head he had lodged in his neck,
to keep her. warm. They were fast asleep !—lma-
gination may conceive, but language is inadequate
to describe, the delight of the parents. Guns were
fired to announce to the whole village the happy
discovery, and the children were brought home in
triumph. The hands of the little girl, and her
breast, had some warmth in them. The boy was
as cokl as the snow on which he lay ; they were
soon recovered.
