ers. The lfsson itteaches will be al once apparent
to a refeciitg mind;
A traveller who was crossing the Alps,
was oyertAken by a snew-storm 1t the top Of

The air whs thick with slect, and the piercing
wind seen@ed to penetrate his bones Still
the traveller, for time struggled an But
atlast his hnhs were benumbed heavy drow-
siness bcgan TO creep over him, his feet al
most refused to move, and he lay down ON
the snow ~ give way to that fatal sleep which
is the last stage. of extreme cold, and froasl
which he ffould certainly neyerhave walked
again in This world
just attthc moment he saw another poor
traveller coming along the road The unhap-
Ply man seemed to be, if possible, even in a
worse coalition than himself, for he, too,
could sca1eely move all his powers were fro
zen, and al appeared to be just on the point
to die
When, pc saw the poor man. the traveller,
who was jhst going to lay down tp sleep, made
q great effort He reused himselfup, and he
scrawled, for be was scarcely able to walk, to
his dyinafellow sufferer
He took his hands into his own, and tried
to warm them. He chased his temples he
rubbed hss feet he applied friction to his
body. 4Snd all the time he spoke cheering
words INFO his ear and tried to7comfort him
As hei did thus, the dying man began to
revive, his powers were restored, and he felt
able to 30 forward But this was not ill
for his kind benefaetor, too, was recovered by
the efforss'which he made to save his friend.
The exeItion Of rubbing made the blood cir
culate again in his own body He grew
warm bI trying to warm the 6ther His
drowsin2ss went off, he no longer wished to
