Whht wealthy , nobleman wants a mate
They sing like nightingales, play as well ;
Daughters to Frei I daughters to sell I
Here's my flue daughters, my daughters, oh I
German, Italian, and French they now;
Dance like sylphides for grace and ease;
Choose out your partner, whichever you please.
There's a nice wite for a rich young swell ;
Dant:titers to sell! daughters to sell !
Beautiful daughters, dark and fair!
Each a treasure for a millionaire;
to pair Or lit palr with any duke'a her
At St. George's church by Hanover Square.
Ho! you that In lordly mansions dwell:
Daughters to sell! daughters to sell!
Buy my dear daughters! who wants a bride
That can give her a carriage and horses to ride,
Stand an opera box 1 . .1' his fancy's queen,
And no end to acres of crinoline,
Ever new furniture, jewels and plate
All sorts of servants upon her to wait ;
Visits to Faris, Vienna and Rome;

They are worth more to me than tongue can tell
They can keep house and manage first-rate,
And are in no hurry to choose a mate !
They love their parents, and brothers as well:
They're not to sell! not to sell!
I love my daughters, daughters, oh!
Plain English, yes, good on they know ;
They talk and laugh with graceful ease,
But my girls are not for sale, if ;on please ;
They don't even know the meaning of " swell ;"

Dutiful daughters! I've been told

This was the salutation of a tall, handsome yonth,

morning In Angust, and addressed the lady of the
house at Ler seat by the window. Now, lira. Phil
ip= was a little nettled with the disobliging con
duct of a tkein of yarn which she was winding, and
she answered the fellow's string of inquiries rather
tartly for her:
"No—l don't want any of your trash !"
Mrs. Phillips' eyes snapped portentously, and her
eyebrow drew Into closer rellidionship, as If deter
mined that no peddler should be Suffered to annoy
their amiable owner.
" Please, Mr. Pcddierman, 1 want a tin dipper !"
called a childish coke from li back porch—and Eta
Phillips, the tint and last born of her parents, came
bounding into the room. Eca,was a beautiful child,
and the young peddler gazed at her with 'lndia
didaed idmicatina.
"And pray, for what .does my curly headed girl
want a tin dipper Y" he asked, with an amiteed ex
pr et , i.ion on ids face.
Oh, to dip up water from the brook—to get
berries down on Blackberry Bills, and," she added
14 II 1. rimming naivete, "to see my face in."
The peddler laughed.
"Female vanity alike the world over he mutter
ed to hlin,elf • then—" Wel', my dear girl, you
shall have the dipper. Thebesttin In the world might
be proud of mirroring auch a face! Coma out to
tbe cart and get it."
Ers ran tuerrily down to the brown gate, where
the peddler's good-natured horse was patiently
awalthig the master's coming, her hapi,y head
full of the grand Limes she would have with that
tin dipper. The peddler opened the box, and took
from thenm a very bright dipper, and then with
the point of his knife, he engraved his name—
Eugene Fuller—upon the ontaide, and gave it into
the child's hand..
Th,re my little Miss, what Is your name ?"
"Era Pmrl Phillips," said the girl, inspecting
her gilt with sparkling eyes.
" Miss Era!—a pretty name. Well, accept this
dipper as a love-gage from Eugene Fuller, who,
when you uet older, is eomhag back to make you
Lis little wife Good bye, wifey!" and the laughing
LOON sprang upon his seat and drove ofL
Ills little wife!" mused Eva, on her back way
to the house; "I wonder what mother will my! I
wonder ii she Will begin to Make pillow cases and

Pear was married! I must tell her atinnt IL"
EVR 61.6t11:d Into the kitch.m full of the important
news.
-• Mother! mother! the peddlerman sass he is go
ing to marry me one of these days! Ain't it fanny !
Only thick—then I can bast just as many tin dip
pers es I like!"
"As nanny fiddlesticks! Go, help Jane shell the
hens foi dinner. I do wish there hadn't been a
peddler crested—they are a pest!"
Mrs. Phillips rocked violently forth in her hen
cushioned chair, and maciepti extra knot in the re
fractory yarn.
Time passed on—and Eca kept the tin dipper
among her most cherished play*. he did not
use it often to hold berries or to dip spring water,
for fear its lustre would be spoiled, and the name of
the donor etfansi. Mrs. Phillips despised the dipper,
because she despised peddlers, and she would have
destroyed the "amulet" bad not her mother's love
pleaded against it.
So when Eva had reached her tenth year—a bright,
blooming little lassie, full of gidety and happiness—
the dipper was still in existence, bearing bravely its
age, and is oft repeated struggles for favor with
Mr, Phillips.
Eva was as fond of it as ever— she kept It on
the pretty dressing bureau, that it might meet her
eves the first thing In the morning. One would have
thought that the little maiden was completely in
fatuated with what Eugene Faller five years ago had
st. led a " love-gage "—and perhaps she was. There
i., no accounting for the fancies of a female head
no philusphar has ever discovered a test by which to
analyze the mysterious composition.
One evening Mrs. Phillips was coming Into the
kitchen in something of a hurry, and, it being dusky
in the room, she hit her foot against some obstacle,
and in consequence lost her balance and fell down
into a large lain of buttermilk, which Jane, the care
less housemaid, had left on the floor. There was
quite a splashing and splattering, and Mrs; Phillips
though unhurt, was decidedly put out—not out-of
buttermilk, but out-of-temper. Her favorite poodle
dog was frightened so mach at tier fall, that he new
upon the cat's backs for refuge, and the latter ani
nod made her escape through the chimney, leaving
Ixior Roche to drop down at his leisure.
From the rains, phcrnlx like, Mrs. Phillips arose—
and, on Jane's bringing a light, she proceeded to in
vestigate matterk—wondering all the time what she
could buss stumbled against, The wonder was soon
dispelled bY We appearance of Eva's dipper—for the
chid, wearied out with a long ramble over the fields,
had returned borne so . rowsy that her mother had
sent her directly to her room, without giving her a
chance to put away her treasure. The sight of the
Its dipper only seemed to increase Mrs. Phillips'
Indignation, and she vowed vengeance on the un
fortunate ewe of her fall.
Consequently, the neat morning, when Eva arose
and looked about for her dipper, it could not be
Been. She went to her mother for information,
but that lady was profoundly ignorant in the matter,
and Jane proved—on Wring brought to the inquisi
tion by Evs— T io be in a like blissful state wilt. her
mistress.
Then Era Went through with a grand system of
reconnoitering, which resulted in the recovery of
the dipper from a mass of rubbish in a corner of the
woodshed. It was braised and battered a little, but
was In other respects as good as new, and Dim.
Phillips, though guilty of the intent, wee not exactly
guilty in act of the els of the iconoclast
R eso lv e d to guard against all further profanation
of her Idol, Eel tied the dipper In a piece of strong
eiik—which bad been given her by the village mil

borne days after she was sent by her mother on an
errand to her Atuit Ethel, and sis her way lay , down

strawberries down In Grant's meadow. Singing
blithely she went her way, the exhumed dipper,
still in its bandages, hanging upon her arm. She
came to the narrow bridge acoss the Dead river, and
was nearly In the middle of the crossing, when her
attention was attracted by a large cluster of wild
dragon star, clinging to the willows which hung
over the bridge. Thoughtles..ly her eyes fixed on
the flowers, else advanced to the verge of the bridge,
the plank bent and tipped with her weight, one
scream, and the little form of Eva struggled In the
water. She closed her eyes, and gave herself up
for lost—but no, the dipper, bound with silken
cloth, acted like a life-preserver, and kept her above
the surface.
"11.11 , me! Do somebody come and help me!"
she screamed, as she was borne rapidly past a held
where some farmers were engow'd In planting their
corn_ In a moment a stalwart man cleft the waters,
and reaching Eva, be grasped her in one hand,
while with the other he swam to the shore.
" Where am I, and where is my diyover?" queried
the child, as eoon as she came to realization.
"You are here," replied the man; " but what of
your dipper? Ha! as I live, 'Us an old tin dipper—
rathler the worse for wear—tied up in a rag! Well,
it has saved your life!"
Then the good man put her Into his rough farm
wagon, and conveyed her Lourtakingparticular
care to relate to her mother the important part the
dipper had played in the rescue of the child.
" I tell you, ma'am, if it hadn't been forsthat ar'
tin dipper's keepin' her above water, she'd a been
dead drowned alore any mortal man would 'a reach
ed her! Thank the dipper, ma'am, and not tut !"
This unbiased account of the praise-worthy be.
haivor of the dipper, softened Mrs. Phillips towards
it, and she allowed Eva to keep it wherever she
chose.
Mouths and years rolled away, and when Eva Phil•
lips was tonrteen, she was sent to a celebrated fe•
male seminary In a neighboring State, from whence,
after a long three years' course, she was emanci
pated, a " finished your.g lady." But her learning
and accomplishments had not spoiled her, and she
lm as the same gay, light hearted little fairy who had
begged a tin dipper of Eugene Fuller twelve years
before
Shortly after Eva's return to Wheatwold, her
mother sickened and died, and allhou4h in many
respects a hard woman, she was long and sincerely
mourned by her daughter.
_ .
With the coming summer, Mr. Phillips, at Eva's
earnest d2,ire, let his farm fur a couple of years, and
with his aitd set out upon a European tour. Eva's
beauty excited the most fervent admiration where
ever she went, but, although she rem Iced many oi
lers of tuarri,ige, she preferred to remain with her
father. They slatted all places Of lutet - eat In South
ern Europe—sighed over desolate Route, walked
upon the lava of Pesnvius , beheld the magnificent
prospect from the highest peak of Mont Blanc,
floated upon the waters of Lake Constance, admired
the impregnable fortress of Gibraltar, and sojourned
for -only months ha the French capital.
At la,: they took passage from Liverpool to New
YerL, and with meting:, hearts looked out daily to
wards the blue distance where they knew home was.
A prosierone pas.ffe was theirs, and from the
hustling American metropolis they took the express
train on the Eastern Railroad, which would set them
down at home before causes.
_ .
Rut alas! how little do we know of coming events !
Iluw little du we realize upon what a slender cord
hangs our destiny: At lightening speed the train
which carried our travelers sped on, Eva Joyous
and choerful in view of beholding one- Inure the

but ,hallow river, the machinery of the engine be

At the first shock of the overthrow, a young man,
(or the whole journey had been r....arding Eva
nith fixed attention, dash, d towards her and clasp
ing her in his arms, reached the tottering ptatfurtu
just as it was going over—one frantic leap and be,
with his senseless burden, went down beneath the
water to rise almost instantaneously and strike for
shore.
Boldly be swam on, and ut last he Rarely reached
tl.. 1-td, when after giving Eva into the rare of
some benevolent people who dwelt near the bridge,
he returned to the tweet, 01 accidtff, hoping to be
of some service Lu rescuing those Imperiled.
Sad to relate, Mr. Phillips wan among the killed,
and Eva, on the return of consciousness, found her
self orphaned, and alone In the world, among
strangers. it was n new and terrible experience to
her, anti her shrinking spirit wns nearly broken by
the shock. She suffered herself to be guided entire
ly by the advice of her unknown preserver—depend
ing upon him with the trust 01 a helpless child.—
Under his protection Eva sct out for home—home
no longer, now that there were none on earth ru
care for her. The house at Wn.ssr, old had been
closed the greater 'met r f the time during the absence
or Ite e..enere,and had only been opened a few weeks
before in eel ectation of their ruining. Everything
there was damp and mouldy—the curtains were fall
ing to piece In the continual moisture of the at
m•splicre--everythlng Marc the Impress of gloom.
Still heath. t fell the gloom when the closed cattle,
holding the remains o. Mr. Phillips, was brought in
to the lung, dark parlor—awaiting the funeral ser.
vice of to morroVe. morn.
Evai•-;dfilletion was dreadful to witness. She took
notice of nothing, neither ate nor slept, and refused
nil a:tempts at consolation from her sympathizing
neighbors.
The roam; stranger who accompanied her home,
took charge of everything, and the good people of
the cleinity, supposing him to has. hero an Intl.
mate friend of the deceased, made no inquiries con
c:!rninz Lis right to act as he saw tit'
Mr. Phillips was buried by the side of his wife,
and Era, on the arm of the pitying old clergyman
went down to the grave, i-ily, tearlessly—like a
stone statue. She exhit ited no emotion—uttered
no sigh—her eyes looked vaguely into the vacancy
with a fixed immovable stare. The funeral over,
the str.virer engaged two trusts servants, a man
and his wile to take charge of domestic affairs about
the place, and then made preparations for Immedi
ate departure. The morning upon which he was to
leave, be sent a messag,e to Eva, requesting a pri•
vate interview. It was grunted, and she met him
in the little boudoir attached to her chamber, where
she had Nieeed the great portion of her time einee
her return. He came in with a little hesitation In
hts titep, and took the chair h. r nod ludbared.
A- hr did so, his eyes involuntarily fell upon the
tin dipper, which still retained its olden place upon
her dresting bureau. lie started up, nod approach
ing it, took it into his hands and examlned it long

side:

" Would you like to s , .e the giver of that trifling

" Yes, it would gratify me above all thing°. Then
would I thank him for th.. good his gilt has been to

Then, Eva Phillips, look up Into my face and
thank me lam Enquoe Fuller. '

Her voice tailed—a algb heaved from the inmost

the first she had shed since her orphanhood. Eugene

EMANCIPATION.
"The slaves are not the only women whom the
war has emancipated !" was the remark of ono of
those women who have thrown themselves vitally
into their country's service, and done on the hattle
field and in the hospital as faithful work as the sol
dier who has thrust himself into the breach, and
fought at the front ; women who have watched over
the sick, and nursed the wounded, and dressed the
noisome sores, and shrank from no burdens, nor
ministration+, however hard or revolting; women
who have gone home from the camp an he hospi
tal to tell the soldiers' story in their own way, and
organize societies% and stimulate fairs, and to direct
all spasmodic and uniformed activities into orderly
and available channels of relief and succor.
" There has been an emancipation," said the wo
man, "from fashion and frivolity, from luxurious
thawing-rooms, from lives of indolence, and pleas
ure, and self-seeking, frompettiness and weakness
into activity and generosity, into courage and-hero-
Ism, Into inspiration, and endeavor, and self
sacrifice. The women, as well as the slaves, have
had their emancipation through this war."
And now, women of North America, it remains
with you to Prove whether this emancleation is a
vltsl and lasting one—not inspired by an boar which
quickened all the sympathies, and energie., and
herofsms of your sex, and from which you will

A YOUNG VETERAN
There recently sat besides us a mild eyed boy of
eighteen, well-grown and intelligent, with the eor
poral's stripes on his arm He had turned leaves of
experience, that In the elder Napoleon's day would
have done honor to the an Old Guardsman. This
boy of curs at an aee when most youths are yet at
school, or in the novitiate of active life, can look
baek upon his twenty-two battles. lie participated
In all the tremendous scenes on Virginia soil, the
advances and retrogrades, the anew:s and reverses,
whereby we wore out the strength of the rebellion,
and disciplined onrselves the while to be worthy.to
conquer in the name of Liberty.
One day, four years ago, while playing marbles,
or flying his kite, he had a severe attack of the drum.
Tall of his years, and precocious, the spirit of patri
otism wrestled hard with him. It was a ruse for
prompt action and a change of climate, and he was
sent to the retired homestead In an Eastern State,
with the injunction to help on the farm, be a good
boy, and earn the enetimiums of grand-mamma
But the young eagle fluttered over the edge of the
nest and soared into the fields of blue. If the re
cording angel washed out generous Uncle Toby's
oath with a tear, we doubt whether he would not
kindly blot out the entry of a boy's falsehood, told
with shining eyes and swelling heart to the muster
ing officer. At all events it Is safe now to believe it,
since, happily, the great day of bot Ish temptation
is overpast, and they nerd no longer ask to be dis
missed from school to go and save the country.
The youth of fourteen, having thee taken font
years to himself, and getting the full benefit of his
stature by standing very erect in his shoes, was in
the Army of the Potomac before grand-mamma's
frightened news of the flight had got home to the
West. In all the vicissitudes of his companions In
arms he bore a part. He was in a fighting regiment.
He saw it melt away In the fierce beat of all the
great battles before Richmond. With twelve sole
survivors of his original company he washed oil the
blood and dust of Antietam. He was in the thick
of the battle at Gettysburg. Captured at Chtuicel
locating he tasted prison experience at Belle Isle.
Re-enlisted he was in at the death and saw Lee
lay down his arms. At the age when most boys
come home from school be has returned from
such soldiers' experience as few men pass through

We take him as the representative of many boys
whose living lessons In History and Geography have
been taken, musket in hand, these put four event•
ful years, on pages whose legends were battles, and
boundaries fixed by the moven of arms. Despite
the regulations of the Lich.partmentand the watchful

DID GEE LEE GO IWO THE WAR 1:1HWIII,
DIGLY ?
On the Sunday when the news arrived of the fall
of Sumter, a gentleman of our acquaintance, in
whom we plane perfeet confidence, took the cars at
Washington to go to Richmond. Upon the train
were Alex. A. H. Stuart, Wm. , Ballard Preston, and
another member of the committee which the Vir

At one of the stations beyond Alexandria, quite a
crowd had collected, and eager demande were made
for the new. as the train came In. Mr. Stuart and
Mx Preston stepped upon the platform of the car
to answer the enquiries. Our informant noticed
one well-dressed gentleman, who seemed to be the
spokesman of the crowd. He was flourishing up
and down the platform with more or less conse
quence, and as the train stopped cried out " What's
the news?"
"Sumter hue fallen," was the reply.
" raise an army and mar'h on Washington,"
exclaimed the excited individual, swinging his cane
and walking uneasily about. "I'll eomm••nee to
monrow morning,'• repeated he, "and raise an army
and take Washington. Hadn't I better do it, Mr.
Preston?"
It was some time before Preston answered, no
long that our friend thought he would make no re

True courage waits on deliberation."
" Was there any blood shed 7" asked the excited
mzn.
" No."
" Wasn't then •?" looking down and speaking as

to repeat, "I shall raise an army and march on

When the train was under way, our friend asked,
" Who is that enthusiastic man ?"
"That la Colonel Lee," said %fr. Preston.

LINOOLN'S FIRST DOLLAR.
From a Speech by Ho. D. W. Selby
One evening lu the Exceu , ive Chamber there
were present a number of gentlemen, among them
Mr. Seward.
A point in the conversation suggesting the

"No," said Mr. Seward. " Well," replied he, "I

THE EMPEROR NIOHOLAB AND TEE AUTOR
The following anecdote is new, and exhibits the
late Emperor of RI:WEIR In a new character, as well
as records one of the most happy escapes from an
awkward position that wit and presence of mind
might afford. Rome years ago there waa a vetycele
bmted comic actor at Bt. Petersburg named Martin-
nft. lie had most extraordinary powers of imitation,
and was so mat a favorite with the public as some
times to ventnre interpolations of his own, instead
of following the advice of Hamlet to the players, to
•'speak no more than is set down for them.' The
Emperor at the same time had a high chamberlain,
or personage filling a similar office, named Poloffsky.
Whether for fun or malice, Martinoff while perform
log, contrived to let fly some puns against this grew
man which were warmly received by the audience
The consequence was, as soon as the play was over.
the actor found himself in the custody of a guard of
soldiers who took him to prison, where he was told
he was to be confined for a fortnight. Not content
ed with this, Poloffsky either told the Emperor
himsell, or contrived that It shonld come to his ears,
that the player had actually had the presumption to
Indulge in imitations of his Imperial Majesty,
On his liheration, Martinoff went to Court to pay
his respecta'as usual, and the Emperor told him of
this accusation, which be denied. Well," said the
Emperor, "it you never did so, let me have an lm
Ration of myself Ham We know you can do 60
you choose." This was an awkward and dangerous
position for the poor actor, who felt he should get
Into trouble for either falling abOrt of or overdoing
the character. Still the autocrat was determined ;
there was no escape. Soddenly a bright thought
struck the player, and drawing himself up, he as.

When the sands of life are ebbing,
And the days drag weary on—

130IDENT IN NAPOLEON'S ARMY.
Anthony Martel was a brave young soldier as ever
bore arms on a battle-field. He was eget:tend favor
ite in his regiment. He loved his country and a
maiden, Gideline, who was considered the prettiest
in Vise&lle, and many were the hearts that beat with
love and joy when the fair Cadeline turned her beau
tiful eyes upon them, and returned theirsaluations
with a wioniug smile There was not a brave sol
dier in thd whole regiment, but would have been
proud to shed his last drop of blood to resent on in
sult to the bright star of Vlaselle. Many were they
who worshipped at her shrine, brit there walk only
one who received any return to his passion, and
that was the gallant Anthony Ntartal.
The Colonel of the regiment to which he belonged
was a mun of violent, Insolent passions, and overhear
ing in the extreme to his subordinate;; and was as
universally hated as Martel was loved.
On several occasions tie had made infamous pro
posals to tladeline which she had resented with scorn,
hut still he been mu importunate, until finding him
self battled in all his endeavors, he determined to
adept a new preeedure, hoping to be more enreess
ful in his designs. Accordingly, he maul on Cade
llne when she was alone, and made an apology for
his former rudeness, and asked fon;lveness, which
she readily granted, presuming that he would not
trouble her any further, but In this she was diasp
lointed, for he Immediately made new overtures of
ove to her, pmmt.lue if she would listen to his salt
he would load her with presents, and also make her
his bride. But all the nattering inducements had no
effect upon her, for she was true to her first love.
"Consider, Cadeline, my rank and station, and
then your position would be higher than the proud
est lady in the village, besides, yon shall have the
attendants and all the luxury and refinement that
weaPh eau famish."
"Ah, Colonel Lactiller, what would these gifts be
worth to me without the heart Y" sold Cadeline.
" You would soon learn to love," "old the Colonel.
" No, Colonel, I never loved but one."
"Then why not 'nye me ?"
" Brrauee I already love another.
" Indeed, me fair charmer," said the Colonel, iron
ically, " may I be permitted to ask the name of the
gallant ?'•'

" unless you instantly accept my suit, and reject the
beggarly churl, I will have him shot like a dog for
his audacious presumption, and I will give you but
a moment to decide his fate."
"Oh, sir !" exclaimed Qtdeline, "ho is guilty of
no crime, and he has never Injured you."
" Has he not dared to supplant a Colonel in the
French army, and he is only a soldier?"
"Nay, Colonel Lochner, I loved him ere I saw
He is generous, noble, and would injure no

one."
_'• Do not loee time In Idle Fo4t~ ' itS~; Las ~ert

"Oh, heavens, spare him!" wild Cadeline In an
rash.
" You plead In rain."
"Give me but a single day to denidia,”
" Not au hour."
At this moment a mtjestic form cast its shadow
In the outer doorwuv, but Uwe!' observed by neither
of the persons within the room so absorbed were
they in their own a ff airs. Stepping aside en as to be
unseen, the stranger remained a spectator to all.
" I Implore you to let me speak to Anthony before
Igive you answer."
" Not a w , .rd to him; therefore instantly consent
to become my wile or sign the death warrant of Mar ,
tel."
" Inhuman monster ! I would rather die a thou
•and death' than to be your wile—even If you were
the proud Emperor of France. Anthony fears nut
death, and he would rather give away his life than
have me prove false to him."
"Mad girl you are In my power, and I will use
yon as I phase, since on have so insultingly
spoken."
" Never!"
" Dare you defy me to my face ? Thus then, let
ma prove my words by snatching a breath of sweet
fragrance off your scornful lips'
And clasping his arms around the form of Cade
line Let later endeavored to put his threat Into exe
cution.
" Help, mercy!" exclaimed she.
At this moment the report of a pistol In the Lamle
of the stranger we have above mentioned, was
heard, and the bullet [shattered the arm of the ag•
gressor, rendering him powerless. But whence the
shot came, both were unable to tell, for no sooner
was the weapon discharged, than the deliverer dis.
appeared, and Anthony Martel rushed into the room
by another door. Observing the wild appearance of
leline breaking from the arms of the Colonel, in
an Instant he divined the whole, and with a power
ful blow he laid the intruder at his feet.
By this time the report of the lireaxma had brought
a detachment of soldiers to the spot, who, on enter
ing the room were immediately ordered to arrest
Anthony, for attempting to murder his superior odd
eer. In vain Cadellne protested his innocence—they
put him under strong guard.
On the following morning an unusual activity
among the officers told that something of more than
ordinary importance was to take place, as each one
hastened to the quartersof the commandant. Though
a court-martial Is no very unusual thing, yet it is
sufficiently rare to attract attention In camp.
Boon the quick roll of the drum told that the court
had convened and was ready to try a criminal.—
Within a spacious tent, was gathered a large num
ber of officers In full uniform.
. -
Seated on a raised platform was General Lorick,
acting as judge. Another roll of the drum announc
ed the entrance of the prisoner.
" Or what la this man charged I" asked the judge.
"Of attempting to destroy the life of fits superior '
officer, Cal Earthier,' Paid the advocate.
" And where I, the acen.er ?" continued the court. •
" Here, may it please your excelltmcy," replied
the Colonel, whose arm was done op In a sling.
" now came Martel to attempt your life r
"1 do not know," said Lartlller:
" What provoked the Insult 1"
"A conversation with a young girl with whom
the prisoner is acquainted."
"la that all? "
" it la, your excellency."
After a snort consultation with the other officers,
the Judge turned to the prisoner, and thus address
ed him:
" Anthony Martel, you have been found guilty of
attempting to pannier a superior officer of the French
Army, the punishment of which is death. What
have you to any, that you should not suffer the ex
teems penalty of the law which you have offended."
Martel, who stood as though unconscious till now.
raised his manly form ; he bent his ayes searchingly
upon the Colonel, and said in a firm voice
" Your excellency, I am aware that any vindica
tion which I mak., will be of no avail, but, being
permitted, I will speak the truth, that my fellow
' soldiers may know that I die innocent of the charge
brought against me. I did not are upon Colonel
Eavilller, and had no weapon when arrested. At
the moment I entered the dwelling of Cadellne, I
I found her struggling in his arms, I stopped not
to Inquire his rank, but struck him with my double
fist to the floor. This le all I have done, and had It
been the Emperor himself In Ida place, I would have
done likewise. For the duty of a true soldier is to
protect the Innocent and defenceless. I alb, Waling

"Martel, your language does notbecome a man

Colonel Lavillier, during the time the prisoner

On the following morning• little before striae,

drew near, accompanied by a large number of afil

Anthony Martel was walking with a firm step to
meet his doom! Arriving at the spot
for him to die, he was calm and unmotiedtt s tra:-
preaching crisis. ,Twelve of his fellow-soldiers re
brought Into line.' Every movement showed their
talWillingUCss to perform the odious duty which had
been assigned to them.
All being arranged, the commandant walked up
to Martel, and taking him by the hand he shook it
warmly. Bidding him farewell, he gave him per
mission to address his eompaniems in anus
This mark of kindness moved the condemned man,
and a tear started to his eye, but luckily regaining,
his composure he addressed those who were to lay
him low in death.
" Comrades, I have come here to die like a man
and a soldier ; I am guilty of no crime; I have nev

by your side In the thickest of WM.le, when the gum
of the enemy poured hot lead into our ranks,

"Csdellne, there is no hope, I am prepared to die.
but this meeting unnerves me. I could have wish

self and do not weep, when I am gone. You will

" Commandant,' told Colonel Leanne? ' In an im
patient tone, "it Is past the time order ed for the
execution ; separate them and perform your duty."
With difficulty Cadellue was torn from the embrace
of Martel, and conveyed a distance from the spot'.
The word ready was given, and quickly. followed
by the nomad command, present arms, and the third
sea last fatal word fire was on the Bps of the cnin
mandant, when a stern voice from a pmion who
stood a short distance apart, closely muted tqa,, gave
the command to recover arms.
Bo sudden was the order, -that every eye was
turned to the person who had thus dared unceremon

occasion.

Every heart beat with Joy at the sudden change.
Poor Leveller, trembling with fear and shame, was

and he implored for mercy.
