And cleaning his arms around the fair form of
Cadeline, Col. Lavilier endeavored to put his threat
into execution.
" Help! mercy ! help !" exclaimed she.

was heard, and the bullet shattered the arm of the

erer disappeared and Anthony Martel rushed into
the room by another door, Observing the wild ap

the colonel, in an instant he divined the whole and
with a powerful blow he;laid the base 'insulter at
hit. feet. By this time the report of the tire arms
had brought a large detachment of soldiers to the
spot. who' on entering, - were immediately com•
mauded to arrest Anthony Martel for attempting to
murder his superior officer In vain Cadeline pro
tested his innocence; they dragged him away under
a stroll_ omit.
Ou the following morning an unusual activity
among the officers, told that something of more
than ordinary importance was to take place, as
cacti one hastened to the quarters of the comman
der. Although a court martial is not a %ery unus
ual affair, yet it is sufficiently rare to attract great
attention in a camp.
Soon the quick roll of the drum told that the court
had convened, and were ready to try a criminal.—
Wi!hut a spacious tent ware gathered a large num
her of officers in full uniform. Seated on a raised
platform was general Levack, acting as judge
Another roll of the drum announced the entrance
of the prisoner.
' "Of what is this man charged !" asked the
Ju 'go
" With an attempt to destroy the life of hie su
perior officer, Colonel Laviiier," said the advo
cale.
Where is the accusorr continued the court
" Here, may it please your excellency," replied
the colonel, whose arm was bound up in a sling.
'• How came Martel to attempt youelifer asked
the Judge.
I know . not," said Lavilier.
" What provoked the insult V'
" A conversation with a young gill, with. whom
ihe prisoner is acquainted."
" Is that all'!"
" It is, your excellency."
A her a short consultation with the other officers,
the judge turned lo the prit , oner and thus address

, " Anthony Martel, you have been found guilty
of an attempt to murder a superior officer of the
French army, the f.tinishment for which crime is
death (Chat have you to say why you should not

sti,nd as though uncon,eious until
now, manly form; statrang erexi, he
bent his searching eyes upon the the colonel and
said to a clear. firm voice
" Your excellency, I am a , va! - e thrd any vindi

Colonel Lay.her, during, the time the prisoner
was speaking, seemed grea:ly excited, iind turned
pale. I .r tie knew that Mattel was a great favorite
in the redirnent, and he feared that Its (mil lite was
in danger.
" Anthony Martel," said the judge, " the sen
tence of the court is, that you die to•morrow morn
ing at sunrise, anti that you be shot by twelve of
your comrades."
Again the roll of the thorn told that the case had
been decided, and they were about -to conduct the
prisoner to his quarters, when a young girl rushed
past the guards into the tent, and prostrating her
self at the lee► of the presiding officer, exclaim•
ed—
"lie is innocent ! spare him ; he is not gaily, and
did not shoot Col Lay dier."
As the tears flowed down her beautiful face, eve•
ry heart was touched with pity save one. He
stood unmoved by her supplications. The judge
informed her that it was impossible for himlo alter
the sentence of the court, and that the only hope
that was left her was that Colonel Lavilier who was
the injured party who alone had , power to ash: or
his pardon or to recommend him to mercy. In
vain Cadeline'pleaded with him ; he was Mexora
ble, and she was borne senseless from the lent. "
On the following morning, a little before sunrise,
some soldiers were busily engaged in placing red

All being arranged, the commandant walked tip

warmly Bidding him farewell, he gave him per-

mark of kindness moved the condemned man,and
a tear started to his eye; hut luckily regained his

rushed into the arms of tier lover.
" Oh, Anthony, Anthony, you must not die. Cul.
Lavilier will have mercy; he cannot be so cruel
as to murder you.
" Cadeline, there is no hope. I had prepared to
die, but this meeting unnerves me. 1 could have
wished you had been spared this scene ; but cairn
yourselLand do not weep when lam gone. You
will not want for defenders, tor my regiment will
protfct you, an it will go hard with him who
dares to oiler an insult ta Cadeline, be his rank

"Commandant," said Colonel Lavilter, in an
impatient tone, " it is past the time ordered for
the execution ; have them parted and perform your
duty."
With great diffinity Cadeline was torn from the
embrace °planet and conveyed to a distance horn
the spot.
The word " arainv" was given, and quickly lot
lowed by the second : Ecommand, " PnrsEN - r."
" AIM," and the loupifcill last latal word "rigs"
was on the lips of the commandant, when a stern
voice from a person who stood a short distance
apart, and closely moll:led up gave me command
to " Rrcovca ARMS!"
So sudden and abrupt was the ruder, that every
eye was turtle] upon the person who had thus dared
unceremoniously to countermand an order on so
important an occasion
"Order that man ander arrest," said Col Lavi

Fin / ding that you had entered Cadeline's cottage, I

your arm was fired by me, and had it not been for
endangering the life of the lair girl, it should have
entered your heart. Colonel Martel, I greet you in
behalf of the Emperor, to whom I have related
your case, and w o has been pleased to confer this
honor and title upon you. Colonel Lavilier, your
sword—henceforth you are no forger an cfficer in
the grand army, and now take Martal'a place, and
receive the fire of those guns which a few minutes
since were aimed at the breast of an innocen t
man!'
Every heart beat with joy at this sudden change.
Poor Levitier . , trembling wi.h fear and shame, was
led to the red flag; again Were the fearful orders
given, but the heart of the culprit sunk within him,
and he impored for mercy.
" Hdw can you ask for that which but a few mo

" 1 uwn my fault," was the reply. •
"Then I refer you to Colonel Martel, who has

The poison which - gives rise to hydroph . obia
seems to originate always with dogs, cats. foxes,
arid wolves—thatje, with the canine arid feline
class of animals; bathe disease is often communi
cated from the above to other classes of animals ;
and also to human beings. It appears that although
the bite of other animals, such as the cow, or the
horse, will communicate the poison to human be
iogs, that it cannot be communicated from one ho
man being to another. This circumstance if cog-.
reel, inclines us to think that hydrophobia in the
human species is not a disease of the specific mor
bid nature which is attached to its name, but mere.
ly a general nervous affection produced by the pois
on of man or rabid animals. When a dog becomes
affected with madness he looks dull and dejected,
and shuns all society ; he seldom barks, but makes
a sort of discontented murmuring ; he refuses food
and drink, altogether looks very listless and sleepy.
At this stage of the disease ho is not much inclined
to bite ; but soon becomes more restless, and
moves a little more about, with his head and tail
drooping, and bites at almost every other creature
or person except his master, %%limn he generally
respects. Alter those symptoms have connnued

Under these symptoms he becomes very thin and

popular notion, the real Arabitin is celebrated less

era of endurance. Its usual paces are but two—a
quick walk, of'en avetaging four or five miles an
hour, and a hall running canter—for only when
pursued, does a Bedouin put his mare at f 11 speed.
It is the distance they will travel in emergency, the
weight they will carry, and the comparative trifle
of food they require, which render the Arabian
horses su valuable.
Lay and says he knew of a celebrated mare which
had carried twa men in chain armor beyond the
reach of some Aneyza pursuers. This mare had
rarely mare than twelve handfuls of barley in twen
ty-four hours, excepting during the spring, When
the pastures were green; and it is only the mares

ance. The conseglence is that, except is the
spring, the Arab horse is lean and unsightly. They
are never placed under cover during summer. nor
protected from the biting winds of the desert in
winter. The saddle is rarely taken Irom their
backs. Cleaning and grooming are strangers to
them. They sometimes reach fifteen hands
height and never tall below lourteen. In dtspo•
sition they are docile as larnbs, requiring nn guide
but a halter; yet in the flight or pursuit their noe

ed and Ppread out to the wind; the whole animal
I becomes transformed.
The va4t plains of Mesopotamia furnish the best
breeds, and those breeds are divided into five races,
of which the original stock was the Koheyleh.—
The most famous belong ether to the Shammer or
to the Aneyza tribes. i iiheir pedigrees are kept
scrupulously, and Mei value so great that a thor
oughly bred mare is generally owned by ten or
even more persons. It is not often that a real Ara
bian can be purchased. The main ri is that on ac
count of its fleetness and powers of endurance it is
invaluable to the Bedouin, who, once-on Its back,
can defy any pursuer but a Shammer or Aney za
with a swifter or stronger mare than his own. All
American racer, or even an English hunter, would
break down in those pathless deserts almost before
rot Arabian became warmed up to its work. Where
thorough bred mares have been sold they have
brought as high as or tlimpiand dollars ; 'but these,
it is understood, are not of the best race. The Arab
who sells his mare can du nothing with his gold,
and cannot even keep it, for the next Bedouin of a
hostile tribe who comes across tits path, and who
has retained his mare, will take it from him and
defy pursuit.
lajard thinks that no Arabian cf the blood has
ever been seen in England. If this is so, we can
scarcely suppose that any have come to America;
but mu-I believe the so-called Arabians given to
our Government, at various times, to be of inferior
breeds. Rarely, indeed, are the thorough-breeds
(nun I beyond the desert. It will be a subject of
'egret, to those wino admire horses, to learn that
the Arabian is considered to be degenerating, the
consequence of the subjugation of Arabia, and the

Virgin Mary awl Savior.
Mre Jameson has giVen :in her Legends of the
I Madonnas," descriptions ot , the" t.ertiona of the .
Virgin and Savior. The former„is extracted from
the history of Niceporous•Callistrision the hothority
of Epiphanius, who had himself derived it from•
more ancient authority.- The latter is in Substance
from the famous letter purporting 'to have been
written by Len'ulus to the Homan Senate. It is
very well established that! these poruaits are the
works of mom; monks of the middle ages, descripz
live of real or imaginary pictures prevalent in those
days. Even as such, however; they may have
value, for these pictures of the pencil or imagina
tion perchance have authority from the traditions
of the church. However it may be, these eescrip
lions are the only authority for the portraits now
generally - received, and stamped in Bibles, Prayer
Books, &c. . .
" The Virgin was•of middle stature; her face
oval, her eyes brilliant; and of an olive tint; her
eyebrows arched:and black ; her hair was of pale
brown; her complexion fair as wheat. She spoke
little, but she spoke freely and s affably; she was not
troubled in her speech, but' grave, courteous and
tranquil. Her dress was without ornament, and
her deportment was nothing lax or feeble. , Mrs.
Jameson mentions the'general belief, in which she
apparently concurs, that the Savior resembled his
mother in person,'for; she observes, "It is argued
Christ had no earthly father, therefore, he couldon
ly
have derived his earthly lineaments from his
mother All the legends assmue that the resem
blance between son and mother must have been
perpect. Kugler, in handbook• of Italian
Painting," gives two descriptions of the Savior—
The first is horn a letter of Lentulus to the Roman
Senate, originaily wri:ten übout the end of the third
century, but not found until the eleventh ; the bee.
and by John of Damascus, dates Iron) the Bth cen
tury.
In the former, Chritt . is described a a "man of
stately fuim, dignified in appearance, with a coun
tenance that inspired veneration, and which, whn
look upon it may love as well as fear. His hair
curling, ruttier - dark and glossy, flows down upon
his shoulders:ar.d is parted in the middle abet the
manner of the Nazarenes. The forehead is motile,
and very serene, the countenance without line or
spot, of a pleasant complexion, moderately ruddy
The nose att.] mouth faultless, the beard thick and
reddish,llike die:hair:lnn long, but. divided, the
eyes bright, and of varying colors!' John of Da
mascus describes Jesus as Fat stately growth, with
eye-brows joined together; beautilul . pyea, large
nose, curling hairjsotnewhat stooped; in the broom
of life; his beard black ; his complexion olive,
like that of his mother, With long fingers, ikci. The
description given, by Lentulus agreed with the ac.
count 01 Epiplianius of the person of the Virgin.—
It is the European, and one might almcst say, the
Greek type, and in this she has the sanction of the
great masters of art.—S. Y. Post.
FIDELITT.—Never forsake a friend when ene
mies gather thick around him—when sickness falls
heavy around him—when the world is dark and
cheerless; this is the time to try thy friendship.—
They who turn from dieiseene of distress or o ff er
reasons why they be excused from extend
ing their s)mpathy and aid, betray their hypocrisy
and prove that selfish motives only prompt and
move them. I f you have aI; iend who loves you—
who studied your interest and happiness—defend
ed you when petsecuted and trozbled, be sure to
sustain him in adversity. Let him feel that his
kindness is appreciated and that his friendship was
not bestowed upon you in vain.

This is a new version of the 01,1 compliment
which runs somewhat alter this wise:
" I wish thee and thy Mika loved me and my

and my folks love thee-and thy folks."
