Great ST. Bernard. at the exaggerated
dangers of which Pass he laughed heart

Pass, the name of which | forgot, been
pveriaken by one of these in company
with an English family returning from

which the elements sometimes perform
the Office of sexton. They set out early
in the morning, and arrived little be-
fore nightfall at part ofthe pass which,
owing 10 the driving OF the snow, is
easily choked up. The snow had begun
to fall about an hour and a half previous

before the blast, binding both horses and
posiillions, and bringing along with it
