| tains of Switzerland, when he perceived poor
priest, who was bearing the Holy Viaticum to

mediately alighted from his horse, and making

himself followed on foot through the waters
On reaching the opposite bank, the priest was
about to give the steed to its owner, when the
nobleman said, No, am not worthy ever to
mount again an animal that has been priv
of whom hold in fief all that possess" and
his horse ever after remained in the service Of
the priest and of his church. When the news
of this pious act spread among the valleys O.
Switzerland and the other provinces of Ger
many, it occasioned q most enthusiastic JOY
among the people, high and low, and shortl!
afterwards, on the occasion of this noblemar
going to visit o certain holy recluse, she pre-
dicted that he would be raised to great hono
in the world, because he had served with sucl
humility and devotion the Lord of Heaven AM
Earth. That nobleman was Rudolph, Count
of Hapsburg, founder of the Imperial House
of Austria, which has deserved SO well of Coz
and of His Church.
