BERNARD. + + +St. Bernard is the name of one of the high mountains of the Alps. + +The deep snow hangs so loosely on the sides of these mountains, that +great masses often fall into the plains below, with a noise like +thunder. + +Wild snow storms also come on, and the passes in the mountains become so +blocked up and covered over, that it is impossible to find them out. + +In this way many travelers have perished, and been buried in a deep +snowy grave. + +Far, far up the mountain there is a building called the Convent of St. +Bernard. + +Here is found that wonderful race of dogs called the Dogs of St. +Bernard, famous all over the world for their noble deeds. + +These dogs are trained to go out on the mountains among the snow, and +search for missing travelers. + +Suppose you are taking a journey across the Alps. + +A terrible snow storm comes on. Night is drawing near, while you are +weary with your journey, and perishing with cold and hunger. + +Your whole body begins to feel numb, and soon you will be unable to go +any farther. + +You think of home, and kind friends there, and you kneel down to pray +that you may not be left to perish in the snow. + +At the very moment you are about to give up in despair, you hear the +deep bark of a dog, coming nearer and nearer amid the darkness and the +snow-drift! + +It is the sweetest sound you ever heard in your life. + +How thankful you are when you see two noble-looking dogs coming toward +you, one with a flask of spirits tied to his neck, and the other +carrying a cloak to wrap around you! + +How eagerly you untie the flask and drink, and how gratefully you cover +yourself with the cloak! + +The dogs look on, and seem to understand all. They hasten back to fetch +the monks, who soon come to the spot. + +You are carried to the Convent, and there rubbed and warmed, till at +last you revive and know that you are saved. + +Such is the work the monks of St. Bernard and their famous dogs have +often had to do. + +One dog saved the lives of twenty-two persons, who, but for his help, +would have perished. + +For many years this dog wore a medal round his neck, which was given him +in honor of his deeds! + +The following story tells how this noble creature at last met his +death:— + +At the foot of the mountain there is a little village. Here dwelt a poor +courier, who used to carry letters and messages across the mountain. + +This was the way he procured bread for his wife and children. + +At one time, when on his way back to his home, a terrible storm came on. + +With great difficulty he made his way to the Convent. + +The monks did all they could to persuade him to remain till the storm +had passed away. + +[Illustration] + +But the poor man knew how anxious his family would be. He was sure that +they would be out on the mountain in search of him;—and so they really +were. + +He felt that he must proceed, and the monks spoke to him in vain. + +All they could do was to furnish him with two guides, attended by two +dogs. + +One of these dogs was the noble animal that wore the medal. + +But the poor courier and his family never met. + +On his way down the mountain with the guides and the dogs, a great mass +of frozen snow fell upon them, and courier, guides, and dogs, were all +buried beneath it. + + + + +THE LOST CHILD. + +An interesting and affecting story is told of two of these brave dogs +having once saved the life of a little boy who had lost his way on the +mountain.—(See PICTURES I. II. III.) + + + I. + + It was a clear, cold, winter night, + The heavens all brightly starred, + Where on Mount Bernard’s snowy height + The good monks kept their guard. + + And round their hearth, that night, they told + To one who shelter craved, + How the brave dog, he thought so old, + Full forty lives had saved; + + When, suddenly, with kindling eye, + Up sprang the old dog there, + As from afar a child’s shrill cry + Rung through the frosty air. + + In haste the monks unbarred the door, + Rugs round the mastiffs threw; + And as they bounded forth once more, + Called, “Blessings be with you!” + + + II. + + They hurried headlong down the hill, + Past many a snow-wreath wild, + Until the older guide stood still + Beside a sleeping child. + + He licked the little icy hand + With his rough, kindly tongue; + With his warm breath he gently fanned + The tresses fair and long. + + The child looked up, with eyes of blue, + As if the whole he guessed; + His arms around the dog he threw, + And sunk again to rest. + + Once more he woke, and wrapped him fast + In the warm covering sent; + The dogs then with their charge, at last, + Up the steep mountain went. + + + III. + + The fire glowed bright with heaped-up logs, + Each monk brought forth a light; + “Good dogs!” they cried, “good dogs, good dogs! + Whom bring you here to-night?” + + In, with a joyous bound, they come— + The boy awoke and smiled: + “Ah me!” the stranger cried, “some home + Mourneth for thee, fair child!” + + With morning light, the monks and boy + Sought where the village lay— + I dare not try to paint the joy + Their coming gave that day. + + “If sweet,” the brethren said, “to see + Such gladness shed around, + What wondrous joy in Heaven must be, + When a lost child is found!” + +[Illustration] + + + + + +AUNT LOUISA’S BIG PICTURE BOOKS. + + +Sixty Kinds, and New ones constantly being added. + +_Containing from Six to Twelve full-page Pictures.—Price 25cts. each._ + +These TOY BOOKS are the best to be found, and are produced at a very +large outlay.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.

To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/23406-0.zip b/23406-0.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c136b9a --- /dev/null +++ b/23406-0.zip diff --git a/23406-h.zip b/23406-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0433688 --- /dev/null +++ b/23406-h.zip diff --git a/23406-h/23406-h.htm b/23406-h/23406-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..66177b8 --- /dev/null +++ b/23406-h/23406-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,986 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" + "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> + +<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> + <head> + <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" /> + <title> + The Project Gutenberg eBook of Dog of St. Bernard + </title> + <style type="text/css"> +/*<![CDATA[ XML blockout */ +<!-- + body{margin-left: 15%;

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/23406-h/images/cover.jpg b/23406-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644

BERNARD. + + +St. Bernard is the name of one of the high mountains of the Alps. + +The deep snow hangs so loosely on the sides of these mountains, that +great masses often fall into the plains below, with a noise like +thunder. + +Wild snow storms also come on, and the passes in the mountains become so +blocked up and covered over, that it is impossible to find them out. + +In this way many travelers have perished, and been buried in a deep +snowy grave. + +Far, far up the mountain there is a building called the Convent of St. +Bernard. + +Here is found that wonderful race of dogs called the Dogs of St. +Bernard, famous all over the world for their noble deeds. + +These dogs are trained to go out on the mountains among the snow, and +search for missing travelers. + +Suppose you are taking a journey across the Alps. + +A terrible snow storm comes on. Night is drawing near, while you are +weary with your journey, and perishing with cold and hunger. + +Your whole body begins to feel numb, and soon you will be unable to go +any farther. + +You think of home, and kind friends there, and you kneel down to pray +that you may not be left to perish in the snow. + +At the very moment you are about to give up in despair, you hear the +deep bark of a dog, coming nearer and nearer amid the darkness and the +snow-drift! + +It is the sweetest sound you ever heard in your life. + +How thankful you are when you see two noble-looking dogs coming toward +you, one with a flask of spirits tied to his neck, and the other +carrying a cloak to wrap around you! + +How eagerly you untie the flask and drink, and how gratefully you cover +yourself with the cloak! + +The dogs look on, and seem to understand all. They hasten back to fetch +the monks, who soon come to the spot. + +You are carried to the Convent, and there rubbed and warmed, till at +last you revive and know that you are saved. + +Such is the work the monks of St. Bernard and their famous dogs have +often had to do. + +One dog saved the lives of twenty-two persons, who, but for his help, +would have perished. + +For many years this dog wore a medal round his neck, which was given him +in honor of his deeds! + +The following story tells how this noble creature at last met his +death:-- + +At the foot of the mountain there is a little village. Here dwelt a poor +courier, who used to carry letters and messages across the mountain. + +This was the way he procured bread for his wife and children. + +At one time, when on his way back to his home, a terrible storm came on. + +With great difficulty he made his way to the Convent. + +The monks did all they could to persuade him to remain till the storm +had passed away. + +[Illustration] + +But the poor man knew how anxious his family would be. He was sure that +they would be out on the mountain in search of him;--and so they really +were. + +He felt that he must proceed, and the monks spoke to him in vain. + +All they could do was to furnish him with two guides, attended by two +dogs. + +One of these dogs was the noble animal that wore the medal. + +But the poor courier and his family never met. + +On his way down the mountain with the guides and the dogs, a great mass +of frozen snow fell upon them, and courier, guides, and dogs, were all +buried beneath it. + + + + +THE LOST CHILD. + +An interesting and affecting story is told of two of these brave dogs +having once saved the life of a little boy who had lost his way on the +mountain.--(See PICTURES I. II. III.) + + + I. + + It was a clear, cold, winter night, + The heavens all brightly starred, + Where on Mount Bernard's snowy height + The good monks kept their guard. + + And round their hearth, that night, they told + To one who shelter craved, + How the brave dog, he thought so old, + Full forty lives had saved; + + When, suddenly, with kindling eye, + Up sprang the old dog there, + As from afar a child's shrill cry + Rung through the frosty air. + + In haste the monks unbarred the door, + Rugs round the mastiffs threw; + And as they bounded forth once more, + Called, "Blessings be with you!" + + + II. + + They hurried headlong down the hill, + Past many a snow-wreath wild, + Until the older guide stood still + Beside a sleeping child. + + He licked the little icy hand + With his rough, kindly tongue; + With his warm breath he gently fanned + The tresses fair and long. + + The child looked up, with eyes of blue, + As if the whole he guessed; + His arms around the dog he threw, + And sunk again to rest. + + Once more he woke, and wrapped him fast + In the warm covering sent; + The dogs then with their charge, at last, + Up the steep mountain went. + + + III. + + The fire glowed bright with heaped-up logs, + Each monk brought forth a light; + "Good dogs!" they cried, "good dogs, good dogs! + Whom bring you here to-night?" + + In, with a joyous bound, they come-- + The boy awoke and smiled: + "Ah me!" the stranger cried, "some home + Mourneth for thee, fair child!" + + With morning light, the monks and boy + Sought where the village lay-- + I dare not try to paint the joy + Their coming gave that day. + + "If sweet," the brethren said, "to see + Such gladness shed around, + What wondrous joy in Heaven must be, + When a lost child is found!" + +[Illustration] + + + + + +AUNT LOUISA'S BIG PICTURE BOOKS. + + +Sixty Kinds, and New ones constantly being added. + +_Containing from Six to Twelve full-page Pictures.--Price 25cts. each._ + +These TOY BOOKS are the best to be found, and are produced at a very +large outlay.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.

U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses.

Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/23406.zip b/23406.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3505718 --- /dev/null +++ b/23406.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
