er, whom his mother, one bright morning,
rugged outln beautiful jacket, all shining with
silk and buttons, and gay as a mothers love
could make it,-and then permitted him to
go out to play. He had scarcely stepped from
the door Of the Swiss Cottage when an enor-
nous eagle seoopeu him from the earth, and
bore HIM to its nest, high up among the noun
tains, and yet within sight of the house, of
which he had been the joy. There he was
killed and devoured, the eyrie being at point
which was literally inaccessible to man, so
that no relief could be afforded. In tearing
the child to pieces, the eagle so placed his gay
jacket in the nest that it became fixture
there, and whenever the wind blew it would
hutter, and the sun would shine upon its
lovely trimmings and ornaments. For years
it was visible from the low lands, long after
the eagles had abandoned the nest. What a
sight 1t must have been to the parents OF the
victim,

stalks, having an abundance of them, and

alluded to has exhibited none of the usual
symptoms Of heayes--has not had q cough that
