Babes in the Wood,

they had often gone out on the same errand

SISTED by friends and neichbors in large
% mbers, secured the country in every direc
tsen for nights and days il vain.
At length, in despair, the assistance of
some aboriginal blacks was obtained. these
people possessing an almost bloodhound
instinct III following up the very faiptest,
tracks. The blacks soon came unon the
trnces of the little wanderers, expatiatinr. as
these trackers always do, at every bent tw;o
or ilattened tutt of grass, On the apparent
acilngs of the object of their search, Here
little one tired sit down. Big one kneel
down, carry him along. Here travel all
night; dark; not see the bush; her fail on
him." Further on. and more observations
= Here little one tired again; big one kneel
down; no able TO rise, fall fiat on his face. y
The accuracy of these readings Of the blacks
was afterwards curously corroborated by the
children themselves.
On the eighth day after they were lost, and
long after the extinction of the faintest hope
of their ever again being seen alive, the
searching party came on them. They are
described as having been found lying all of Il
row on a clump o! broom among some trees.
the youngest in the middle. carefully wrap
ped in his sisters frock They appeared to
be in deep and not unpleasant sleep On
being awoke, the eldest tried to sit up. but
fell back. His face was so emaciated that
his lips would not cover his teeth, and he
could only just feebly groan Father" The
youngest, who had suffered least, woke up as
from a dream, childlike demanding. =. Father,
why didn't you come for us sooner? we were
cooeying for YOU" The sister, who was
almost quite gone, when lifted up could only
murmur, "Cold, cold' No wonder as the
little creature had stripped herself of her
trock. as the elder boy said ito cover Frank,
for he was crying with cold"
The children have all since done we'll and
are rapidly recovering. They were without
food, and by their account bad only one drink
of water during the whole time they were
out. and this was from the Friday of one
week until the Saturday of the next week, in
all nine days and eight nights.

had taken the greatest precaution for the Sc

cracks appeared in various directions through
the cupola. Marble doye-tails placed across
the crack broke with alarming rapiditv. and
IL was feared that in q few years the whole
dome might fall in. Various remedies were
suggested by architects but the Pope, Ben
ed'c5 XIV, wisely observed that this was not
the business of art, but that of science. A
commission Of three eminent mathematicians
(boscovich, Lesuer, and lacquer was APP
pointed to examine the case In l742 they
issued their report, showing by their calcu-

with its lantern came to So 24S tons. ard that
there was balance of GA tons en- the side

the remark, that irreparable ruin must be
apprehended unless a timely and efficient
