4 French journal relates the following:- -
Three mornings ago, as little girl. 10
years Of age. was walking by the side Of
road at Bonneval, she was suddenly attacked
by an enormous mastif, stranger to the
village, and before her father. who vas near,
could arrive, the dog, throwing the child
down, bit off her nose, and tore the Aesh
from her cheeks, arms, and other parts Of
her person. Driven away by the man, the
dog, little further on, attacked boy and
tore his face in frightful manner The an
lmal next attackedin succession several dogs.
and bit them severely. 1t then entered .
wood near Nieuqicq, in which a woman vas
at work, and rushing on her, threw her dowa
and lacerated her dreadfuily. The flesh Was
torn from different parts of her person, leav-
ing the bones bare, her scalp was dragged
of, ard her nose and cheek were eaten. A
man having come up, the animal took fight
but afterwards attacked, near Author, .
workman, and bit him badly in the face and
body. Next the dog entered Author, and
rushing in succession on four children. one
the son Of physician named Perrier, tore
the flesh from their faces and persons, and
bit q woman and a servant girl. The whole
population Of the town was plunged into
CONSERVATION; but, as night had set in the
dog disappeared. The next morning a mum.
her of persons armed with guns, forks and
scythes, went in search of the animal, ard,
having after while found it, succeeded in
shooting it dead. On examination, it turned
ou, that the animal was not mad, but had .
long. sharp nail driven into its nose. and the
belief is that the pain which the nail occa-
stoned rendered it furious. OF the ten per-
sons attacked, three are already dead. and
some Of the others are so tearfally injured
that their recovery is not probable. Al
though the animal was not mad, the persons
, bitten have. by way of precau,ion, had their
wounds cauterizeI, and the dogs bitten have
been killed"

The Winter of the Heart.

Let it never come near you. Live so that

Let no chilling influences freeze up the
fountain of sympathy and happiness from its
vithered hopes, like snow on faded flowers
no rude blasts Of dsconten. moan and

chambers.
Your life path may lead YOU amid trials,
which seem entirely to impede your progress
and shu, out the very light of heaven from
your gaze.
Penury may take the place Of ease and
plenty, your luxurious homes may be inter
changed for single lowly room-the soft
couch for the straw pallet the rich viands
for the coarse food of the poor. Summer
friends may forsake YOU. and the unpityins
world pas. YOU with scarcely word Of CON-
passion.
You may be forced to toll YEARLY. steadily
on to earn livelihood, YOU may encounter
fraud and base avarice which would eNtor,
the last fa,;hing. till you turn III disgust
from your fellow beings.
Death may sever the dear ties that bind
YOU to the earth and leave You in fearful
darkness.
The noble, manly boy. the sole hope Of
YOUR declining years. may be taken from OF
while YOUR spirit ciilss TO him with wlll
tenacity which even the shadow of the tomt
canno. subdue.
But amid all these sorrows do not come Il
the conclusion that nobody was ever SO aiiiic

,icipation of better DAYS in the unknown fu
ture.
/ DO not lose Your faith in human excellence
because Your confidence has been betrayed
nor believe that friendship is an Illusion, ant

DO not think YOU are fa;ed to be miseraoi
because YOU are disappointed in Your expec

declare that God has torsaken YOU whe

Keep holy trust in heaven through ever

DIR. Gardner ON the Physicians Duty

The real value Of medical services is gene
rally in the inverse ratio Of their pretension
and selfaSsertion. For the cure of diseases
belongs in general not to the physician nor
to any earthly power, but to the Supreme
Ar,ificer, who uses all the action Of the bodi-
ly machine for life or death, for health or
sickness.
The physician stands by, the earnes:
watcher Of natures process, he removes all
external hindrances in the way, and endea-
vors by simple, mostly palliative remedies,
by regulated diet, by attention to sleep and
waking, and to the due performance Of all
the physiological functions, to rescue the pa
tient from those dangers to which he would
inevitably expose himself, when unassis,cd
and VIXEN suffering under the vi,ia.ed tastes
nd feelings that accompany disease. lie
relieves, moreover, the troubled mind of un-
due anxiety, and on the other hand, is care
ful to direct the fool-hardy and thought!ess
sufferer by the path which nature points on,
to him, he guards the man wrapped up in
the daily tolls and unhealthy drudsery of life
against the injury to which his anxiety for
his family, or his avarice for himself are ex-
posing him. He steels the over-excited
nerves of the hypochondrial or hysteric by
wholesome medicine for the soul as we'll as
the body. He breaches solemn warning tc
the unhappy voluptuary by holding up be-
fore his view the precipice which he is ap
preaching. He sees the end, whether fo,
good or evil and prepares for it by counsel:
of hope tempered with caution, or of resis
nation without despair.
And even when in the discharge of his du
ty he has foretold the inevitable fate, wher
he knows that the irreparably damaged or
gans are incapable Of supporting much lon
ger the Auttering pulses and feeding tn
smouldering fire of life, the skilful and hu
name practitioner will take care to chcrisl
and turn to the best account the small an,
frail remainder of those mysterious power
