Very well at first, but alter they had gone
a few r>d found danger threatening them
in every direction. There are mans o<--
currenees in till* life which We <nli feci but
■annot explain. One ~f the. is when a
representative of the genu* homo flteis
himself suddenly in the cetilrn of an un
usually lip|tery, dangerous, glaring ur

many found tliem-'dv* in tlii. situation.
Their fiH'l were in voluntarily slipping from
bem-ath them, before ami behind them was
an elevation of smoothly polUhed ice, beau

Above them were the dark cloud* and fart
falling rain. They could see no salvation
for them. It we then that one f. It the
great vanity of all tilings terrestrial, arid
an undeflnable but certain impulse urged
them to give up all interest in this beautiful,
Heeling life and to sink down upon the
hard pavement atel yield up the ghost.
