4 Touching Incident.-The saI

4 TOaching Mcident.-rhe sad
desl story that we ever read was
that Of little child in Switzerland,
il pes boy, just as yours is, reader,
whom his molher, one bright morn
ing, rugged out IN a beautiful Jacket
all SHINING with glltand buttons, aud
gay as mothers love could make It.,
nnd then permitted hun to 90 out to
play. He had scarcely stepped
form the door of the +" Swiss Cot
lHge, when an enurmous eagle
scooped him from the earth and bore
him to its nest, high up among the
mountains, aud yet IN sight of the
house of which he had been the loy.
There he was killed and devoured
the eyre being at point which was
literally inaccessible TO man, 50 that
no relief could be afforded. In tear
lng the child to pieces, the eugle so
placed his gay jacket in the nest that
II became fixture there, and when
ever the wind blew, It would tluuer,
aud the sun would shine upon lis
lovely trimmings and ornaments -
For years it was visible from the low
lands, long after the eagles left the
nest What II sight II must have
been to the parents of the victim.
