TUB SOLDIER’S RANSOM, Amids( the nobio collection of paintings which tfllorn the walls of tho Louvre, there is one which may perchance have arrested the eye of some amongst our readers, vying as it does, in warmth of coloring and ytycr of expression with some of the beat paint* Ings ol the Dutch and Flemish school, • •- Il ls named in tho catalogue, "The Blacksmith and Ais Family," and‘Ms history is ono so foil of touching arnd'domestic interest, that *wo feel it ought -not to puds unrecorded. There lived, in tho seventeenth century) tty 6 bro thers, both painters, and endowed with equal latent, a circumstance of rare occurrence la the history ol art. Their names were Louis and Antoine Lcnain, . Dorn at Loon, towards tho close ‘CT \ho sfirtcenth century, they were brought np.logolhcr, and through lif^rpiuaioed^ shop, one purse, one lublo; the sauie.ipint egemed to animate them both in life, and In death they were not divided, for they closed their earthly career within two days of each other, in May, 1640. Loving, as they did, Nature under her simplest at. 'pcct, ami humanity in its most primitive and unso phisticated form, they passed much of their time in wandering amongst the 'cottages of 'Ctimtftcsis, and In sketching the peasant groups which they mot upon tho road, orfound.seated around tho coltugo hearth, as well as the hardy laborer, guiding Ins oxen through *tho Wall ploughed field, and the aged beggar, who wandered desolate and ulono from door to door. This simple stylo was then but little appreciated in France, where tho lino ladies of llic Court disdain* cd to admire oven the chof’d'auvrcs of the Flemish school. Offr young artists had, therefore, but sliglil prospects ofemorging from obscurity, and were pur* suing their tranquil and unnoticed career, when sud denly the hand of death threatened to cut off (ho younger brother in his prime, before a single.work had been achieved which would cause his name to bo handed down to posterity. They hud walked together a*considerable distance from homo, In order to sketch a picturesque building, half farm house, half forge, such as are frequently lo be mot with in that part of tho country. Whilst (boy were thus engaged, Antoine was seized with sudden and severe illness. Louis, his elder brother, wished to convoy him lo tho nearest inn, but soon found the attempt impracticable, and was con strained to accept (ho hospitality, wli’rbh was so cor. diully proffered by (ho worthy blacksmith and his fumHy. * The name of these good people was Hcrbolot, ond their domestic circle consisted of (ho father of the family, his wife, (heir throe children, and an aged grandfather. Each had his daily task to fulfil, and with cheerful hearts did they bach strive to accom plish it. The husband wielded.(he massive hammer, the eldest boy blew the bellows, his little brother cor ried the cjiatcool to feed tho flame, and ran on his father's errands, whilst the good wife attended to her domestic concerns, and even the old man was ever 'ready lo lend a helping hand when his assistance was required. These simple and kind hearted people quickly prepared lliclr best bed for (be sick man, and vied with each other in their aniioly to do all they could to alleviate his sufferings. \ Tho best medicine in tho world '(we Irtsl the fee ■oily will excuse us for saying so) Is watchful and devoted care, and so It proved in the present instance; the patient rallied,contrary to all human expectation, without tho aid of any more experienced EsculspUs than the village doctor, whoso chief remedies were (hose which nature, herself, prescribes, cooling drinks while tho fever lasted, nourishment and generous wines during the exhaustion which succeeded. This primitive regimen was, however, successful, and In ton days.the young painter was able to rise Rom his bed. Out os bis oonvaloionco was nut likely lo ho a rapid one, he expressed a wish no longer td trespass upon (ho kindness of his host, but to uso his returning strength to repair to a neighboring hos telry. V no » *bal blast not the worthy blacksmith. "You are now quiloone of the familyt you must remain with us until the baptism of our fourth child, and stand Us god-fallior, loo.’* The brothers could not reftiso an invitation thus cordially pressed upon thorn) but they would accent it only upon one condition. " You must," said they, ♦' allow ns to employ tho interval of time in painting a family group, whioh shall Include each 'member of your domestic circle, from tho eldest , formal. ftttocenatuom A TRUK FRENCH BTURY, * OUR COUNTRY-—MAY ITALWATS BK RlCMi'i'—-BUT klOllT OR WROfIa.

' •X 'ydhrig'girl of the ndlghbdrhodd, named Loniso Danchet, who had long been betrothed to the young soldier, was present when tho fatal loiter arrived. Bho was at first overpowered with grief add astonishment, but in a few moments a sudden lh,oa£ht seemed to flash across her mind, and- suddenly rising from her seal, she hastily led tho'house.; Tho spot towards which she.directed her steps, was the neighboring chateau ofVal——, which hud lately been purchased by a rich banker, to whom her brother acted in the'ospaeily of-game*keeper. .

His master eyed these pranks with a sly smile, and seemed IpHslly to enjoy the terror occasioned by the an* tic&pf.his burly friend. The other person whom I especially noticed was a very pretty and well dressed.lady, xoit'ng Indy she would no doubt have been called; but that.she had with her a little girl about seven years old, who called her “mamma,” She evidently possessed of nerves, indeed, she seemed to be possessed by thrift, and their name was le gion. Endless were the petty annoyances to which they subjected her; infinite tho dilemmas in which they involved her. . Bolder keenest suf ferings in lids small way, were caiided by .the un- J wieldy gambols of Lion, the Newfoundland dog; and her incessant andpuerile exclamations of ter ror, indignation and spite, against the good-natured brute, kept up the sly malicious smile upon the lips of his apparently unnoticing master. The little girl, on the contrary, had, to the increased alarm of the weak mother, made friends with the monster, and for a long lime amused herself with throwing biscuit for Vim to catch, which feat, notwithstanding-the Incorrectness of her njin, he managed to aooViriplish, by making a hQStrijte ous plunge to one sldenr the other last she timidly offered him a pTfeco out of hef hand, and he acknowledged (ho compliment by licking her face and rubbing his side agalhsl her till he almost pushed her down, the little creature fairly screamed with delight. Her mother scream ed 100, but U was one of tho small hysterical screams in which she was fond of indulging, and was followed by an outburst of. anger at Lion's familiarity. •‘Good graciousV* she exclaimed, “if that | horrid creature should be mad, he’ll have killed 1 my child I And how dirty lie is tool' Look at 1 four pelisse, Adeline; see what a fix it is ini 1 [low dare you play with that dirty animal!” This transition from hydrophobia to a soiled i dress was too much for Lion’s master, and he burst Into a long loVld laiigh. “ I wish, air,” said the lady snappishly, “ that you would call away that nasty dog, Instead of setting him ofi lo SnAoy everybody who is not ac customed to havo such dirty animats about them.” The gentleman said nothing, but bowed. and walked forward; and I soon after saw him enjoy ing a cigar, while Lion played the agreeable in his own rough fashion to people who knew how io read the expression titma honest and intelligent physiognomy. . Little Adeline, deprived of the attraction which - had fixed her attention to tho intorlot of tire boat, began to seek amusement in watching (he foaming water as it rushed from tho paddlo wheels, and danoed In long lines behind them. Sho' knelt on a shawl Which a fellow-passenger had kindly lent as a cusion for her Ifuln knees, and leaned quietly over the eido watching tho roaring Water; so her mother Was for a time relieved from the thousand mosquito-winged vexations which had hitherto be set her, ■ 1 We were now within a few miles of Graves end. Tho lido was Juki at iho full, and the broad expanse of the river lay aroumi.ua In oil Its majes ty ; and to thoso who havo novor beheld the Hud son or tho Mississippi, old Father Thames Is'ma- Jeatio; ay, and if wo place In the balance the historic, political and commercial Importance or tho transactions of which his broad breast is and has been Iho highway, our “ time-honored ” river will not lose in dignity even when compared with thoso giant floods of the West,* Such thoughts as these, however, did not trou ble Adeline’s pretty little Hoad, which began; ! pould see, to grow giddy with the continual whirl bonoalh her., A largo sea wood that was dashed from tho paddle caught her'attention. It sank, ihon rose, whirled round in a short eddy, and then dartodout in thb long wake, that, was loft behind ihe Bloamor. She leaned forward to watch Its progress; farther, farther stilt her little neck Was stretched ; she lost heh balance, and toppled over [ Into the roaring flood. In a moment all was con: , fusion on board. Men-wore shouting for . ropes and boats; to stop tho steam I cries of “a child i overboard t” “ who can swim 1” and it thousand 1 , oiHcfr cries arid questionings; but above all, arose the poor, mother’s heart-rending shrieks, too pain ful in earnest now; and she alone, forgetting in the fond instinctive devotion of maternal love, that even'could she reach herchild she could only sink with her, endeavored to lehp irilo the whter ‘to save her.. , .. ... - Suddenly Lion, followed closely by his master, came tearing along the deck, knocking the people to andlefi llke’nlneipiDS. They sprang Into the boat that hung at '(no 'Stefa, everybody giving way before the determined energy of both man and dog. Lion looked anxiously in his mas. ler’s face and uttered a short low bark. “ Wait,” said the latter in reply, “ where was istie'bden last 1 }” “There, sir,” replied a sailor promptly, “ there beside that piece of plank.” ' . “ How often has she risen V* “Twice,” 1 The gentleman drew a long breath, and said to his dog, in a low tone, “ Look out !” And Lion did took out, with wild flashing eyes, and limbs that trembled with anxiety.. Jrvhai a mofnent that wasl Every one else was passive; every othrir attempt was {aid aside, and all stood in mule expectation. Those who Were near enough to watch for. the third rising of the poor child, and those'who’cdtfid Retries fte w&ler kept their eyes flzed upon Lion. In another 'inrilbrfl a cry was raised, as p golden-tressed head was seen to emerge from the water. The noble dog had, seen her 'first though, and ere the warning cry reached his ears he had dashed from the boat with wonderful activity, anti Wa's 'Swimming towards the lifllo sufferer as though he knew that life de pended on his mforts. His roaster marked his progress anxiously.— His face was pale as death, and it. was only by rigidly compressing Atom that he could control the nervous quiverings of his Ups. “He lms her!” he exclaimed as Lion rose to the surface after a long dive, holding, little Adeline by the back of tierTiair in such a manner that her face was out of the water. “He has her, and she is saved I” Down went the steps, and on them stood a couple of active sailors, encouraging the brave dog by rihduts and gestures, and toady to receive his pre cious burthen when he should approach them. Slowly he came on, wistfully eyeing the steps; and now and then glancing up at his master who wasleaniog over (he side, and encouraging, him with hie well known voice. ■“ Here you arel” rifled one of the sailors, seiz ing tho little girl. She was handed from one to another, and at last deposited in the arms rif an Active looking gentleman Whom every bocTykeetri ed Instinctively to recognise aa a surgeon, and by him carried below. “Now come up, there's a brave fellow!” said the sailor, retreating to'make way for Lion to climb upon the steps. But the poor creature whined piteously, and after one Or two fruitless struggles to raise himself out yf the water, Ire Tri malned quite passive. “Help him! help him! Ho is exhausted!” cried his master, lighting his way through the crowd to go to the rescue of his brave favorite. By the time, however, .that he bad reached this top of the ladder’the sailors had perceived the coodUlon ofalfc : dragged him from the water. With their assis tance he crawled feeblv. up; then languidly licked his roaster's hand, and stretched himself on deck. It would be difficult to say which received tho most assiduous attention—the little girl under (he hands of tho surgeon and all the women, who had squeezed themselves into tho cabin under the Arm -conviction that they .were exceedingly useful, or the noble dog from tho kind but rough attentions of the steamer's men, under the superintendance of his master. Both tho Invalids were convalescent'; ant) Lion was sitting up receiving with quiet dignity th» caresses of his friends, when Adeline's mother came running up stairs and throwing herself upon heflkneea before him tfnd clasping him affection- her arms, laid' her'cheek upon his rough held'and wept '""'C “ He's a dirty animal, madam,'.’ said the gen- tleman, who could not forget her former slighting remarks. “ He'll make your pelisse in such a state! Besides he may be mr.d !” She cast up her eyes with an expression of meek reproach. They were very fine eyes, and I think he felt it, for hm features softened immediately. “ Oh! pray, pray, give him to me !” she began. “Give Lion to you!” he repealed in derision. “ Why, what would youidri with hlml I'il toll tfbu.
