Barry, the 81. BERNARD.
Harper's Round Table

The hospitality and untiring humanity
OF the monks Of the convent or -. Ber-
nard have long been famous; and the
fidelity and sagaclty Of their well-known
breed OF dogs, kept by them TO assist
them in their lahcrs, have long been
equally celebrated.
The most noted of all the dogs that
have lived and striven and died In the
service Of the monks was named Barry.
This faithful creature served the hospital
for the period Of twelve years, and du-
ring that time he saved the lives Of no
less than forty persons. His zeal was un-
conquerabe. 1t was his custom, after n
heavy fall Of snow, TO set out by himScr

along. barking at the top OF his lungs.
until he was entirely out OF breath, when
he would often fall over In the snow
from sheer exhaustion.
No place too perilous for him to venture
into and when he found as ne sometimes
did. that his own strength was irsufYicient
to draw from the snow traveller be-
numbed by the cold. he would Immediate

to carry the poor little wretch to the hos

When he became too old to get about.
the Prior OF the Convent, by way OF re-
ward, pensioned him at Berney. and after
his death his skin was stured and placed
