In her heavenly love and kindnessi'
They tell Of the lamp ofliie she brought
To the lieathen's world ofblindness.
They tell of the gorions cross they greet,
Which he reared in the land Of sorrow,
Where the gnitiest souls find pardon sweet,
And the sadaest comfort borrow,

fromthe almost perpendicular side Of the
preclPlce. Her cries Of distress attracted
seeeralo the inhabitants of .Nyrolles, who
came with torches and endeavoredsto af.
ford her succor, but were unable even 10
perceive her. Fires were kept up through
outthe night, and the victim was called
to. take patience tillthe morrow. At last
the day dawned and several persons ad-
ventured to climb up the rock, but at a
certain distance it was impossible to pro-
ceed further without making irregular es-
calade, aud she could only be saved by
one who feared not 10 expose bis life.--
Sncha one was Carrod, the father Of a
family, who devoted himself 10 this act,
and aftes fronting ii thousand dangers al
last succeeded in delivering the unforiu-
nate girl, who had remained suspended
over the abyss for twenty-five hours. {
Another instance OF persevering intre-
pidity took place near Aignes mortes -
Three women were returning from The
town Of Cette, when at the entrance ioflhe
canal 4 storm assaiIed them, and dglIieir
frail craft was suddenly submerged. 1t
HdSStueuE eOCiOCH IN the morning, dnQ
a mauof the name of Moulton, witness
of tho catastrophe, threw himself into the
canal. After The most unheard of efforts,
he was al-last fortunate enough TO seize
and bring ashore the three wretched wo-.
men. The act was rewarded by fret
class silver medal. One of the ac,s of
heroism recorded, Is connected with
somewhat curious circumstance, namely,
The falling into The Garonne of lady
aronan., while attempting an ascent in her
balloon. The,lady's name is Lar,et, and
she was saved by young man Of twenty
yoars oil age, bakers apprentice, a s,ran-
germ the town, and who threw himself
into the river, down a deep descent Of
more than%twonty-Gve feet, without any
previous knowledge of the character of The
stream into which he was advenlurius.
One ofthe names of the list of these eS.
amPlary characters is that of little girl of
twelve years of agef DernoiselIe Boyer,
who succeeded in saving lwuchildren aud
a young girl of fourteen, who had fallen
into the large basin Of Monlfancou, which
she did by throwing herselfGat down aud
plunsins bali her body into the water be-
ing held back only by the efforts Of a boy
of four years old.
