In 1809, there was in the twelfth r:giment of the line, then in the garrison at Strasburg, a sergeant of the name Of Pete; Petois, who was from that h a lf barbarous, half civilized portion of Burgundy. known under the name of Morvani and whom his comrade& always =ilea Peter Fearnaught. He was a brave man in every sense of the won: ; as his companions said, brave among the , brave. Always the first and the last where the file was the hottest, he passed for luring only two things in this world, the smell of powder and the hissing of bullets. Those who seen him on the field of battle, the pye glaring, the nos. wil expanded, rushing into the thickest of the me lee, were accustomed to say that the field of carnage was the ball room of Peter Fearnaught. One day Peter took it into his head to address a kite, to his Colonel, asking a furlough for the put-, pose of tending the sick bed of his mother, who was dangerously ill; he added that his paralytic father, who was seventy-eight years of age, was incapable of taking care of his plot wife. He promised to re turn as soon as the health of his mother should be reestablished. The Colonel returned for answer to Peter Petois, that from one moment to another the regiment might expect the order to enter on the campaign, and 'he must neither expect' furlough nor per mission. Peter said nothing more about - it. A fortnight passed over ; a second letter reached the ColoneL Peter announced to the Colonel that his mothet was dead, having hail the grief of not seeing ner son before her death; she had wished.as a tender mother - to give huh her last blessing. Pe ter still solicited a' furlough of a month. He said he was not able to make known the motive for asking it—it was a family secret—but he earnestly suppli cated his Colonel not to refuse him this favor. Peter's second letter, had ntove success than the first. The Captain (it the poor soldier merely said to him— Peter, the Colonel has received your let ter, he is sorry for the death of your old , mother, but he cannot give the permission you solicit, for to-mor row the regiment quits 'Strasburg' •A h the regiment quits Strasburg, and Where are we going, if you please!' ' • Into Austria. We are going to visit Vienna, my brave fellow. We are going to fight the Austrians —that is' good news, is it nor! Won't you enjoy yourself, my brave boy • Excuse me, Captain. I hive perfectly understood you, and I thank you for your news—it is excellent.' • There ! that is something like r • Well then, Captain, you think this permission canna be obtained ? • Are you mad A leave of ab s ence on the eve of beginning the campaign? • I forget that we are just entering upon the cam paign, and at such times they am never granted. • No one thinks of asking: , • You are right, Captain, nd one does dunk of ask.' ing—it would have the appearance of wanting to sneak away—scat I will give it up and do with- out it? "- That's right, Peter: The nest day the twelfth catered Oermany. The next day Peter Fearnaught deserted. Three months after s while the twelfth, after hav ing gathered on the (te& ot Wage= en ample har7 vest of glory. made a triumphant entry into Stras burg. Peter Petois was ignominiously brought back to his regiment by a guard of soldiers. • A court martial was held. Peter Petois is ac cused of deserting at the very ticoe"when the regi ment expected to confront the enemy. Tire court martial preeez ies! a singular spectacle. On one side the accuser said, :Peter Petois, you, one of the bravest soldier" of the army—on ukase breast shines the star of honor ;. you, who have never incur 'a punishment nor a teproach from your of. ricers. Tod muldnot leave your regiment, leave it almw on the eve orLuttle, uithout having a / power-. Cut motive.

Then witnesses came forward, who said--• Peter Petois _deserted, we -know it,"fiut still it is incredible.' Others-4 Peter Petois is insane ; the court cannot condemn an in sane man. It is not to death but to the hospital he ought to be sent.' ' This idea was very nearly being acted upon, for there was not ono of the judges who did• not consid: er the desertion of Peter Fearnaught c es one of those singular events, scarcely. possible; which• no one comprehends, but which all ire forced to admit.— However, the prisoner showed himself so logical in his perseverance in claiming a condemnatory ver dict; it was with a frankness so audacious that he proclaimed his crime, constantly. iepeating that he did not forget it, the firmness of which he gave proof, seemed so like bravado, that the court could not take refuge in Clemency. Sentence of death was pro nounced. When Peter's sentence was read to him, be show ed no signs of emotion. They pressed him to sue for- pardon ; he positively refused. As all were certain that et the bottom of this affair there.was some strange mystery, it was decided that the encution of Peter should be deferred. The con vict was taken back to his military prison, where it wee announced to him, that by a special favor, he had three days allowed him to present his petition; he bowed in silence. In the middle of the night which preceded the day fixed for the execution, the door of Peter's cell slow ly opened upon its hinges, an under lieutenant of the Young Guard approached the camp;bed on which the condemned man was in a peaceful slumber, and af ter having contemplated him some time in silence, he awoke bun. Peter opened wide his eyes, and looking around him Ah !' said he, the hour has come!' A No s Peter,' replied the officer, not yet, but ere a little while.' • And what do you want with me I' Peter, you do not know me, but I know you. I saw you on the field of Austerlitz, where you beha ved like a brave man. Since that day; Peter. I have conceived fiir you a lively and sincere esteem. On my arrival yesterday at _Strasburg, I learnt your crime and condemnation. ' As the keeper of the pris on is one of my relations„,l have obtained permis sion to come and say to yob, Peter, that one doomed to die often regrets not having a friend near to him, to whom he might open his heart, and confide some holy duty that he would dish to have fulfilled. Pe ter, allow me, and I will be that friend.' Thanks. comrade,, ' replied Peter, drily. Hove you nothing to say to mel' N othin g.' What ! not a last word for a - lover, for a sts terr A lover? a sister? I never bad one. For thy fatter, then!' I have a father no, more. Two months ago he died in my arms.' For thy mother!' s For my mother r said Peter, whose voice sud denly underwent a -:profound alteration; my mother!—Ah! comrade, pronounce not that name, for look ye, I have never heard it, never named it in my heart, without feeling myself moved like a child. Even now, if I were to speak of her—' .Well, Peter.' g I should weep—it is not manly to weep! Weep,' continued he with fervor, 'weep! when I have only a few hours to live. Ith! that would not show a stout bean!' You are too severe, comrade. Thank God, I have I believe as stout a heart as most people, and yet I weep without shame, in speaking of my moth er: Is it true!' said Peter, hastily seizing the hand of the Lieutenant. 'you arc a man, Jou are a soldier, and yet you do not blush to weep!' In thinking of my mother! no, certainly not. She is so good, she loves me 'so much, and I love her so!' g She love you? you love her! Oh! then I will tell you all; my heart is full, it must flow over, and how ever mangy it may appear to you, the senumeuts which animate me, you will not laugh at them, lam cute. Listen, then, for what you said a little while ago is very true, It is a happy thing, when one is going to die, to have a heart, into which You are will ing to hear me, are yoti not ? You will not laugh at me • I listen, Peter. The man that is going to die, can excite only commiseration and sympathy.' r You must know then, that since I came into the world, there is but one person that I have loved—it is my mother! But her, I have loved, as one loves nothing else, with all my life and soul. When s child, I read in her eyes as she read in mine; I gues sed her thought—she already knew mine She was all to me—l was all to her. I have never had either lover or friend. When I was called under the cohirs, when they told me I must gait her, I eras seized,with a fit of despair, and I declared that though they em ployed violence they should not separate me alive from my mother. With a word, she, who was so ho ly and courageous, 'Peter, you must go; I wish it, I knelt, and said to her, mother, I go. Peter, you you lone been a good son; I thank God only for it, but the duties of a son are not the only duties a man hasty Cade Every citizen belongs to his country; she calls yon—obey! You are going to be a soldier; from-this moment your life belongs to you no longer; you owe it to your country. If her interests deioand give it' freely, If it please God that you should die before me, I shall give stay to my grief; but I will say, He gave, and he has taken away, blessed lie the name of the Lord! Depart then, and ifyou lure me, do your duty.' Oh! I have ever remembered her words. •Do your duty!' said she; the duty of a sol dier, is to obey everywhere and always I have obey ed. The duty of a soldier is to go straight for ward, through all peens without besitation, without reflection; I have done so. Those who saw me thus march into the haunt of the fight, said,-there goes a brave man!' They would have said with more reasen, • There goes a man who adores his mother. One day I received a truer; I lemma from at that she lass sick, my poor dear mother, I wished to go anti see her. I asked far e l furlough at was Da granted.

Napottott's Eve AND Gaxer Lsrms.—By long experience, joined to great natural quickness and . precivion of eye, he had acquired the power of judg ing with extraordinary accuracy both of the amount of the enemy's force opposed to hila in the field, and of the probable result of movements, even the most complicated, going forward in the opposite armies. The roar of artillery, the smoke and rattle of musket try, even the falling of balls around him, were alike unable to divert his steady gaze, or disturb his accu rate judgment. Never was he known to be mista ken in the estimate which he formed on the distance or approach of the fire of the enemy. Even on the furthest extremity of the horizon, if his telescope could reach the hostile 'columns, he observed ev:ry movement, anticipated every necessity, and from the slightest indications drew correct conclusions as to the designs which were in contemplation.—Nu simm er bad he ascended a height from which a whole field of battle could be surveyed, than he looked around him for a few minutes with his telescope, and imme diately formed a clear conception of the position, for ces and intentions of the whole hostile array. In this way he could, with surpnsing accuracy, calculate in a few minutes, according to what he could see of their formation and the extent of ground which they occupied, the numerical force of armies of 60 or 80,- 000 men; and if their troops were at all scattered, he knew at once how long it would requite for them to concentrate, and haw many hours Must elapse before they could make their attack. On one occasion, in the autumn of 1813 ,soma of N'apoteors's Generals exPressid an opinion that he might expect an attack on the side of Bohemia. From what I can see." said he, calmly closing his telescope, " the enemy have there two corps of sixty thousand men, they - will require more than one day to concentrate and , be ready to attack; we may pursue our march.'

' • Among the earliest settlers; in the Midit of Salmon' river, was a Vermonter, of the name of Dobson—a lage, reSolitto maw.% Returning one evening from a fruitless hunt after tai vagrant taws, which. according 'to the custom in new countries, had been turned in to the woods, to wean, their own subsistence from the rank{ herlmge Of the early summer. Just before emerging. from Cc .forest upon the clearing of his neighbor, the late worthy Joseph Sleeper, he saw a large beir descending from, a lofty syeamori f ethers he •had been, probably, in treat of honey. A bearascends a tree much more expertly thin he descends it, being obliged to come down hind-lore. most. lily friend Dol•son did not like to be joined in his even ng walk by such a companion ; and, with• out retie ting what he should do with the a "ermine' afterwards, he ran to the tree, on the opposite side , from :h a l animal's Way; and just Ortfore he reached the ground. he seized him by the tore paws. bruin growled land gnashed his tusks; but he soon aseer. twined that his paws were in the grasp aims paws, equallyiron-strong witle-his own : tier could he use his hinder pawito disembowel his a'tegnniat, as the manner of the bear is, inasmuch es the trunk of the tree waebetween them.--But Dobson'r predicament, as ho wits endowed with rather the most reason, was wove yet. Ile could no - inare assail the bear, than the bear could assail him ; nor could ho venture to !et him go—a very gracious return, fdr thus °acme. moniosly taking him by the band, The twilight was fast dearending into darkiies.a.ind his position was far leas comfortable than it otherwise would haver been at the same hour, surrounded by his wife and children; at the supper table, to say nothing of the gloomy prospect fur the night.. Still, as Joe Step• per's house was nut far distant, he hoped to be able to call him to his assistance; but his lungs, although . none of the weakest. were unequal to the task, and although he tenoned and beetled the livelong night, making the woods and welkin ring again, he'succee. ded no better than old Glendower of old, in calling spirits from the vest"), deep._ It was a wearisome night for Dubson ; such a game of hold fast he had never been engaged in be. tore. Bruin, too, was somewhat worried, although. ' he could not describe his sensations in English. al beit he took the regular John Buil method of mak- - ing known his dig-ati-fu . eindi—that` is to say, ho groWlet!' incessantly. - But there was no let go in the cane, and Dobson was therefore under the necese sity of heldir.g fist, until it seemed to his clenched and aching fingers as though the bear's pans and his bad groin together. • As daylight weaned, and the smoke from Mre 1 Sleeper's chimney began to curl up gracefully, though • rather dimly in the distance, Dabson again repeated ' his cries for succor, and his heart was soon gladden ed by the appearance of his worthy though inactive neighbor, who had ai last been attracted by the voice of the impatient se& rer, bearing an axe on his shout der.—Dobson had never been so much rejoiced at seeing Mr. Sleeper before, albeit he waste very fried and estimable neighbor.

I run ! is that you, Mr. Dobson, np a tree there I And was it you that I heard hallooing so last night': I guess you ought to have your lodging fur nothing. if you've stood up tigiu' the tree all night." It's no joke. though, I can tell you Mr. Bleeper if you'd had hold the paws of a black varmtnt oil night, it strikes me you'd think you'd paid dear enough for it. But if you heard me calling for help in the night, why didn't yota, come and see what was the troniale I" ..0b,;I was going tired to bed, after lay ing up log fence all day, and I though I'd wait till morning, and come bright and airly. But if I bad known it was Sots—" 4. Known 'twas me!" replied Dobson bitterly, you knew 'twas somebody who bad flesh and blood too good for these plaguey varmints, though ; rind you !to , I sr there's been a smart spritido of bears a bout th. eettlernent all the spring ! " ( • ..We I, don't be in a buff, Tommy—ft's never too late to o gam!.

Kr you just take hold of his paws 11., here, a d I will take the axe and let a streak of day light into his skull about the quickest," The proposition being a fair one, Mr. Sleeper was too reso.binable a man to object. He was no coward, either; land he therefore steupcil op to the tree, and cautiouOy taking the hear said. both hands, relieved honest I Dol son from his predicament. The hands of the latter, though sadly stiffened by the tenacity with which they had been clenched (or 60 many hours, Were soon brandishing the ale ; and he appa rently made all preparations for giving the deadly blow—and deadly it would have been, had he struck. Hut, to the surprise of t4kepei, he did not strike; and, to his further conornat;oo, Dobson swung this axe upon his shoulder, and marched away, whistling as he went, with as much appatent indifference es the other had when coming to his relief. It Was now Sleeper's turn so make the forest with his cries. 10 vain he raved. and called. and 'threatened. Dobson walked on and disappeared o leaving his friend as sad a prospect for breakfast ashy himself had fcr his supper. .
