A Thrilling Story. 1
[The following is so occurrence which t
Uiillj took pUue iu Vermont some forty I
are ago. Tbe facts are almost literally i
latcd as follows:} '1
My brother Himm liked the business
carrying the mail better than I did; and <

lelt the force of this in the course of the
liter, as you will.see directly. 1
There had fallen one of our old-fasliion
northern New York snows crusted over 1
i d enough to boar a man. 1 was getting *
famously with my clearing, getting '
idy to build a house in the spring. 1 "

ing without my dinner some days, when 1
c bread and meat I had brought in my ?
ckct was frozen so hard that I could not *
tsticate it without taking up to much of *
r time. One day it was intensely cold *
th a pros} ect of a storm that might hie- t
r my work the next day, and so 1 worke don c
long as 1 could soe, and after twilight I t
led a tree, which, in its descent, lodged c
ai nst another. I could not bear tho idea P
leaving the job half finished; I mounted *
e almost prostrate body to cut a limb to t
it down.
The bole of the tree forked", about forty *
t up, into two equal parts, with large >
ejecting limbs from both. It was one of t
ae I had to cut away to bring the tree f
the ground, lu my haste perhaps I was
t so careful as l should have been, at any 8
c the first blow eased the lodgment, so o
it the tree began to settlo, and I was i
>t going to jump ofT, when the fork split, i
d as it did so one foot dropped into the B
icc so that I could not extricate it for 8
; moment, but I felt noalarm, for I knew *
it I could cat away the tree in a minute, 8
perhaps draw niv foot out of the boot, ^
the pressure was not severe. At the ?
st blow of the ax the tree took another F
rt, rolled over, and the split closed with *
the force of its giant strength, crushing }
foot till the very boucs were flattened e

My axe, in its fall, rested upon the snow "

w I was to cut myself loose from the *]
iy of that great tree, suspended as I was *
ad down and suffering from the rush of 8

(though the bush was out of my reach

Still I hud my knife. True, it was a 1
