DARING OF THE GUIDES.


There is no daring and self-devotion of
which the guides are not capable. No tenn
pest, or falling avalance, or snow-storm de
tiers them from advancing on the track OF
their faithful and sagacious dogs. Often
they are summoned forth amidst the dark.
hess of the night, and, equipped with lolg
| poles and lanterns they traverse the fearful
wilds around the convent when every
| beaten path is buried from the view. Often
| it happens that the guide takss course
| he thinks the most probable to succeed in
his object, when the dogs pursue a directly
contrary direction, being led, even at a dis
lance, partly by instinct and by the ex-
| uuisite keenneSS of their smell with which
they trace TO the spot where traveller has
fallen.
The guides instantly abandon their own
course, on perceiving this, and follow that Of
the dog that soon arrives at the fatal place
and generally succeeds in drawing forth the
victim The guides, who thus often devote
| their lives to rescue the bewildere1 traveller,
are not attached to the monastery, and only
reside there during the winter. They are
hardy peasants from the hills and valleys
the nearest on the Italian frontier, who leav'
their cottages and families during the incle
ment season to give their services to tn,
monastery 1t might be thought the gratuity
for such services could not well be too large
but it does not exceed $50 for the season tC
each guide. They are well maintained, OF
course in the convent and hold themselve
in readiness to sally out at moments call
! by night or day.
3 VICTIMS OF THE AVALANCHE.
The avalanche often covers so deeply til
\ victims that the sagacity even of the dogs
/ Intellectual; the depth beneath battles thei
scent. 1t is rather from beneath the snow
;, storm than the avalanche that the victim
are rescued; pulled out from their fats
b canopy by the teeth of the sagaoious an
mails, aided by the long poles of the guide:
they are placed on these poles crOssway'
which serve as a temporary bier, and born
rapidly to the convent. If life still remain:
however family, the instant remedies n
sorted to are generally successful; if it is 81
tinct, the persisted traveller is borne to IL
morgue, and placed in any attitude thi
suits the taste of his bearers, among Il
many hundreds who have already ende
