THs MOTHERS SACRIFICE.

The cold winds swept the mountains
height,
And painless was the dreary wild,
And mid the cheerless hours Of night
A mother wanered with Aer child;
And through the drifting snow She
pressed,
The babe was sleeping on her Crest.
And colder still the winds did blow
And darker hours of night came on
And deeper grew the drifting snow;
Her limbs were chilled her strength
was gone
"Oh, Cod she cried in accents Wild
IF / must perish, save my child,'
She striped her mantle from her
breast
And barred her tosc to tle storm,
And round the child she wrapped the
vest,
And smiled to think her babe was
warm,
With one cold kiss, one tear she shed
And sunk upon her snowy bed.
AT dawn traveller passed by,
And saw her meath a snowy veil;
The frost of death was in her eye
Her cheek was cold and hard and
pale,
He move the robe from eff the child
The Gabe looked up and sweetIy
smiled.

.BELLED BUZZARD
AT CROSSYILLE
J. Nj. CHAFIN WANTS TO KNOW WHO
PUT A BELL ON THE BIRD AND
ALSO THE AVERAGE LIFE OF
BUZZARDS

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
write this for publication. About
30 years ago 1t was reported In the
papers that there had been buzzard
with bell on seen in Alabama. Later
thore was a report that someone had
belled a buzzard in Texas and It was
supposed to be the same ~bird. Then
FIVE years later there was one seen
near Lathamville, DeKalb county. Or
the 9th of this month one made its
appearance on my place and was seen
by myself and family.
We could see the bell and when the
buzzard made its turns in flying we
could hear the bell Jingle.
I would like to know If anyone has
belled a buzzard later than the date
above, and II this would be the same
bird. Also would like to know what
Is the average life of a buzzard.
