ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and over
preparation do not seldom defeat their
own object. Washington Irving tells
us of n Dutchman who, having to leap
ditch, went back three miles, that he
might have good run at it, and found
himself so completely winded, when he
arrived at it again, that he was obliged
to sit down on the wrong side to re-
cover his breath.

toward the end of January Norfolk farmer,
while returning home from the town of
Norwich, became 50 benumbed by the cold
that he was compelled to lie down in the
snow. He would undoubtedly have per-
ished but for his dog which, with pathetic
sagecity, stretched its body across the mas

cold. In this position it@ay for several hours,
until at length. by continued barking and

An almost equal power of discernment

About the same period, while farmer near
Huntlycote was, with the assistance of his
shepherd, relieving some sheep from the
snow-drift at the side of bank large
quantity of snow shot down in the form of
an avalanche from the higher ground, and
enyeloped the two men. There they must
have remained. and perhaps persisted, but
for the sagacity OF their two faithful collies.
The dogs at once scampered home, and by
their excited demeapOr and continuous
bowling, aroused the suspicious of the
women, whom they by and by induced 70

In the course of the winter of 1914. not
only was the list of persons who persisted in
the snow painfully long one, but many
animals were lost particularly sheep There
were, however, some remarkable instances
of the latter being rescued, after protracted
entombment. One belonging to a gentle
man in the south of Scotland was rescued
after having been buried for six weeks. II
was not much the worse for its imprison-
mert; for, after a little stumbling, il was
able to walk home before the shepherd, and
by and by was as strong as the rest of the
flock. On the 22d OF February u sheep be

Neither are instances wanting OF the al.
most miraculous preservation of human be-
ings when buried in a drift-wreath. Few
more remarkable than the following will be
found, which occurred in the village of I'm
pington. about three miles from Cam bridge.
On the ID of February, 1893, Mrs. Elizabeth
Woodcock, a respectable resident of the
village, on returning home from the mar
ket was overtaken by snow-drift. Lying
down beside a hedge, she was completely
enveloped and remained there until the 10th
of the month"; period of eight day and
nights. During the interval, one of the viii
layers is said to have dreamed, on three diff
f-rent occasions, that hare was to be found
at particular spot at the roadside near the
village. Immediately after the last oc-
casiOn, he resolved TO go and see; and on do
ing SO, he discovered a hapdkerchief
in hole in the snow; and ON farthersearch,
| to his amaZement, Mrs. Woodcock. She
was conveyed in the full possession of her
faculties, to her family and friends who
had given her mp for lost. She said she
had distinct recollection of hearing the
village bells Ginning for the Church service
on the day after that in which she was en-
wrapped in what she believed was to be her
windIng-sheet; and equally good was her
hearing on the morning OF the day she was
rescued, when, on the bells again Ginning
she recognized them. About thirty or forty
years ago, monument commemorative of
the event with an inscription stating the
particulars, was erected on the spot; and
persons are said to be still living in the vii
lage who remember having seen Mrs. Wood
cock.

Dear Old Mother.

Honor the dear old mother Time has
scattered the snowfakes on her brow, pill
lowed deep burrows on her cheeks. but is
she not sweet and beautiful now? The lips
are thin ard sunken, but those are the lips
that have kissed many hot tear from child
ish cheeks, and they are the sweetest lips in
all the world. The eve is dim, yet it ever
CLOVIS with the soft radiance of holy love
which can never fade. Ah, yes, she is a
dear old mother. The sands of life are
nearly run out, but feeble as she is she will
go further and reach down lower for y0u
than any other upon earth. You can not
walk into midnight where she can not see
you; you can not enter Prison whose bars
will keep her out; you can not mount a
scaffold too high for her to reach, that she
may kiss and bless you in evidence of her
deathless love- When the world shall de-
spise and forsake, when it leaves you by the
wayside to die unnoticed, the dear old
mother will gather you in her feeble arms
and carry you home and tell you all your
virtues until you almost forget your soul is
distigured by vice. Love her tenderly and
cheer her declining years with holy dego-
ton.
