Swiss Cattle.

We are apt TO speak and write OF
Swiss cattle rs if there were but one
race known among the yerdant valleys
and alpine pastures of the brave little
republic. In reality, there are two or
three distinct types and many strains
exhibiting quite DIST net characteristics,
each peculiarly at home in some par;ic-
ular canton or valley, or part of
canton. A. we remember them, they
possess two characteristics common 10
AL namely, good milking qualities and
coarsencss of bone. They are of var.
Gus colors; some, much broken with
white; some are very large, fully equal.
ing in size the largest Short-horns. As
n rule, the horns are short. if not small
though we believe some of the breeds
of the southern cantons, near the
Italian or Piedmont frontier, have long,
slender horns, somewhat like those OF
the Italian breeds. In the mountain
cantons. the cattle are stabbed in win
ter, and as soon rs the heritage is fit for
pasturagc upon the Alps, which is al
most as soon rs the snow melts, they
are driven thither. In Switzerland, aD

THE BLIZZARD.

The blizzard came down like thousand OF
brlok:
His breathings were cakes of ice four inches
thick,
And his hair streamed far out in a stiffness
that bent
With the swirl and the speed of the pathway
he went.
His beard that found roots to the lids of his
eyes
Hid his face in hairy unpierced disguise,
And spread out in ice.like rigidity far
From his one eye that flashed like pivotal
star.
Unseen was the rest of the demon-like form
Of the swift-moving blizzard, the god of the
storm,
But the presence was felt of an unconquered
For the fast-running rivers stood suddenly
still.
And the noses Of people who travelled the
street
Turned white with alright, and the hurrying
feet
Were stung as with sting of a hundred bees,
While the blood crept away and allowed them
to freeze.

him, for, as he was an alien. he could not
understand her loyal enthusiasm, and that
it was the one great desire of her life to
see the ruler for whose kindness and good
ness and greatness she had an unspeak-
able admiratioa; and her disappointment
in not being able to go and see him was
simply unbearSble. The Emperor Joseph
took from his pocket box decorated with
diamonds surrounding picture of himself
and presented it to her, and whe
the picture revealed to whom she
was talking, she knelt in reverence and
clapped her hsnds in gladness before him.
The Emperor sock the name of her hus-
band and the probable place where he
might be found at Ostend, and had him
imprisoned for the three days Of the
Emperor's visit, SO that the husband re-
turning home found that the wife had seen
the Emperor while he had not seen him.
In many families of this earth the wife,
through the converting grace of God,
has seen the 'King in his beauty" and he
has conferred upon her the pearl of
great price, while the husband is an "alien

and without hope in the world,n and i'm
