to be," &dared Charley, abruptly stopping is if a
new thought had struck him.
"Perkily. so— but .hall you both be independent
enough to begin in a email way—in shirt, to live
within your means—for if you expect to get alone
in the world, you must live within your means."
"Well, it is a, pity," said Charley, somewhat
dampened by the 'inquiries of his friend ; think
what quarters I inudit have. I'm heartily sick of
the ell-hind bachelor life we now lead. What !
must I wait till I make a fortune before I merry !"
, •Or be over I:14d and ears in debt," suggested
Ned.
"That will never du!" exclaimed Scutt, right
earnestly; and at is to be regretted that every
young man does not make a similar determination,
with independence and judgment enough to keep

Here the two coma to a turn in the afteet,where
they took different direction.. Charley bent his,
steps toward the store. in no merry mood, Ned—
I know nut where.
Charles Scott entered his Counting Mom and
shut the door.: The business of the day was over,
and the Tie' ks were beginning to leave as the early
shades of an autumn twilight were feet gathering
round. He stirred up some embers, then
throwing himself listlessly into a chair, and placing
his feet upon the iron fender, he soon became won
derfully id:limbed in his own reflections. He was
ayoung man of excellent taste and excellent habits
all the
his father's fireside, ,and
all the sweet sympathies of that dear home circle
of which he was once a loi , ed and loving member.
They bad pas,ed away, and he had lived on the
cold bounties of a boarding house. His heart
yearned with unveskshle desire for a place to call
his own, with the delightful peculiarities, my wife,
my fireside, my table. ft does not appear to what

with something useful and pleatiant,there was now
e restlessness of spirit. which refused to be quiet.
He sallied forth into the street, and atter various
turns,at length turned his steps toward the Clarks'
—music and mirth met his ear, and bright lights
streamed - from the windows. Melting his greeting
to the ladies of the house, and tittering a few agree

Fanny seemed to hear the quick beatings of her

culpable, after all. I say, had Charles known
this, he had; not • stayed away so strangely and
coolly all that live-long evening, while Fanny's
heart was sinking. Mournfully did ••tear gather
in her eye as she beheld him depart, without a
parting glance or fareirell word.
Charles Scott was not quite initialed. HA re
ally loved Fanny, box he was afraid to merry her.
It was not a sickly sentimental love. It counted
the casts and calculated the chances; albeit, love,
it is said, understands no arithmetic. and knows
no reason. He had fixed principles of action, and
settled rules to govern his choice of a wile ; he did
not mean that loveshould laugh him out of them,
or blind him to their value. No, he determined
to abide by them.
Some time passed away, and never was e'man
more devoted to besiness. 'Perhaps he dreamed of
Fanny, hut he did not visit her.
Behold a gathering of friends' a pleasant little,
company; Charles was there, and Fanny too.--:
He thought she never looked so charmingly, with
her simple braid of hair, and lir4 modest fawn col.-
tired dreg,. . Thera was something sad anti re.
proachful in her eye, it smote him to the heart.
"Dear Fanny. how can she interest my coolness 1"
was the question of returning tontine's. •tI mean
to see her, and explain to her ell my views—if
she is a girl•of sense, she cannot but approve; if
she is not"—such a contingency remained unpro.
aided for. An excellent resolution ; Charles, abide
by it. It so happened, or was centrism), close's
chances. are not always mutable) that the two
found thomeelvee threading their way through the
streets at en early hour. Now for Charley's res
olution—yes be kept it.
'Brut, Fanny," he continued, with remarkable
self-poesession, with a few preliminaries not to be
repeated, rtl want you to underetand exactly my
position. how I intend for the present to live, and
what ptanswe must pursue. I moot live within,
my means, and just setting out for life, my means
ere necessarily small. .1 am liable to the flume-
Mions of the business world, and we must begin
wiih what we can independently afford—tto dash
ing with tuirrowed capital for rne.
'•You must take oil these considerationsinto
account before you answer. Perhsps you may
feel !het you cannot conform to such humble cir
cumstances. I will not disappmnt or decries you."
At the moment, Fanny thought she could de
cide instantly, for she saw only a roes colored Ju
ture.
Now Fenny listened.
"Do not decide now. Fanny. Think this all'
over," was his parting injunction, at the close of
this long walk, during which, though he had said
a great deal, he had a great deal more to say—,
"and then. decide carefully and conscientiously."
Fanny did think it all over; much that Ire had
said was quite new to her. To be Married ! to be
married. it must be confessed, bad implied to her
mind what it does to the minds of too many young
ladies. gay visions of wealth and independence.
14 ) 41 everything one wialcd—a Inver in the hos.
hand, amusement in the parlor. Fanny belonged
to that class of females, who, without fortune or
expectations. had been brought up amid the appli
ances of wealth. She wits en orphan, and lived in
the family of an uncle. With few parlor duties,
and none in the kitchen; she bad lived an easy,
independent life, floating on society with waded
energies, and undeveloped powers: Riehmen did
not seek her, because rich men generally arch to
increase their wealth with matrimonial cores; a
poor man might fear, and justly fear, as Charles
Sc. tt did, because females thus educated often

employments ; they are slow in finding out that
hands are mode to work with enri'they are apt to
regard work as menial service. If all young men
would do as Charles Scott did, frankly unfold to
woman their real situation and their true interests;
explain to them the use and dignity of labor, and
encourage and stimulate exerti..m. there would he
fewCr ill-regulated households and thriftless wives.
Fanny digested the whole matter, weighed it alt,
and decided.
Behold nut manymo-ths afterwards, Fanny in
her new porno. It was, indeed, a snug home, full
of comf area and blessings. Thera was a pleasant
little sitting room with sunbeams and e Idles, with
Kidderminster and flag bottoms, unadorned by ot
tomans or divans, astral lamps, or marble tables.
Tier kitchen, too. was near by, where Fanny was
not ashamed-, to spend her morning boors.
"Do not come in the morning," said Fanny to
a gay acquaintance, "you may, perhaps, find me
making bread or ironing collars"
"Doing your girl's work 1 . Ugh !" exclaimed
the lady, distastefully.
"Oh; I am my own girl." replied Fanny, "with
exception:of Nancy Drew, who comes in when I
want her. I can make a soup and roast a turkey,
end I dare say that I can teach a thou4snd interest
ing things that you don't know anything about."
Flora did not wish to be taught.
"I really pity Fanny," said this same Flora,
passing by her donr,one day, wearied and dispir

understood how to -use her hands. She.was a
producer as well as consumer. What delightful
evenings did they pass together, sewing or reading
or at lecture, or enjoying the society of dear friends.
Charley, cheerful and happy in the consciousness
that his receipts exceed his expenses, was pleased
with nothing so much as hie wife; and Fanny re.

of contributing her share to family comforts, en
joying an elasticity of spirit, and vigor'of health,
of which the indolent and unoccupied can hardly

More than this, there were blessings this family

the mistress of a splendid mansion, to a solicitor

It was very true ; her rose and ice creams sad

poor seamstress to whom she did not Key her last
farthing that morning, had been soliciting her
just dues for weeks and suffering in consequence
of theil long delay.
"Moll you not do something?" continued the
same collector_', timidly, after explaining the object
to Mrs. Scott.
.1 shall be v •ry happy in the privilege of doing

the hand of the thankful woman. Yer. and Fan

THE PATE OP THE "FOREIGN LEGION."
By 11. 0. Chipmci
The morning of the 14ih. September broke
clear and. calm over the dark and frowning battle=
meats of. the castle of Chapultepec. The fbig of
the Mexicans streamed proudly out from the ram
part., and waved in all its gorgeousness in the
gentle breeze which swept along the plain. Shin
ing bayonets and glistening yalires reflected back
the sun's bright raye, and Jerp-mouthed cannon
boomed out upon the surrounding country, threat:
ening death and destruction to the advancing foe.
On they came, filing our, column after column,
from the euburha of the little village of Tacubaya,
and sweeping like a destructive tornado upon the
devoted romperts. Suddenly, from the batteries
of the castle,. a stream of dame and smoke shot
forth, and all along that .lengthened line, the mil•
ails of terror and deith went hand in hand, cot.
ling down the noble and the brave, the good and
generous, and strewing all in one mingled heap of
gore and blood. War, with all its blasting and
desolating effects. was carrying grief and misery
into many a heretofore happy family, and striking
the father and hmband, the son and brother, in
Terrible and bloody havoc, and. comigning them
to ono common and sorrowing grave. While the
face of the wife and sb.ter at home, were perhaps
wreathed in smiles, that of the husband and broth
er was writhing in the agony of death upon a for
eign soil, and breathing out life's last sigh amid
the roar of cannon and the rattle of muskets.—
The scenes Of that fearful and fatal morn will
never be forgotten.
But white this was ft:melding -around' Cha
pultepre, another and still morexertible scene was
passing in the little town of Miscoux, some half
a mile distant front Tacubaya. At the battle of
Chirmbusco. the,deserters under Reify had been
captured, and after an impartial trial sentenced to
be boort. They were known by the title ed the
..ForeignLegion," and were made up of men who
had deserted from the ranks of -the A merieans.and
joined the forces of the enemy. The day set
for their execution was the 14th of Septenther—
and it also happened that the attack upon Chapul
tepee took place the same day.
The'sun had ju•t risen, and tinged the east
with it's purple ray. as they were led forth to die.
Thirty in number, and. surrounded by a strong
body of men, they advanced with slow steps
towards the gallowe, the muffled drum sending
forth its solemn death notes. and giving to the
whole the eppeerance of a funeral rather than a
public execution. They were arranged under the
gallows, which was one erected for the purpose—
being nothing more than two large postsse! firmly
in the ground, across the bap of which was placed
a pole of sufficient length to admit the bodies of
thirty men. Beneath it. the ',prisoners were ar
ranged. with the no =e. around their necks—the
other end of the rope being thrown over the pole,
was grasped by three or four 111C11; ready at a mo
inent's warning to launch them into-eternity. A
gloomy silence pervaded the spot, and as they
gazed upon the groups collected there, they found
no sympethising glance in the scowling faces and
glaring eyes which were fixed upon them. They
had destroyed the .List feeling of respect felt for
them, when they took up arms against their own
countrymen.. The usually dark brow of Colonel
H. who superintended the execution, was con.
troOted by a deep frown, and hie deep grey eyes
twinkled savagely in their sockets. as he galloped
up the spot, and reined in his Smoking charger be
side them. I
'•ls it .alieady. Lieutenant 7" he asked of an
officer who commanded the guard.
'Tvcrything." replied the officer.
••Then let them
.swing," was the savage re•
'The Lieutenant turned and advanced toward
the prisoners, when suddenly the eye of the Col
onel fell upon the Castle, and the deadly roar of
the artillery reached his ear.
..Lieutenant," he suddenly exclaimed, with
startling eneecy in his voice.
4 -Aye, air," replied the officer. returning,
'•Have everything reedy, but don't draw them
up until the . ' American flog waves out from the
ilog-ctoff 'orehnpult. pee Castle. , ' •
..Aye. sir, it shall he done ;" and the Lieutenant
returned to the gn flnwa.
••If we ain't hung nal the Castle is taken by
the Amerit•ans, we shall have a good long life
yet," sullenly. exclaimed one - of the iniaoners at
the beam.
!•Then live you shall, for till the Star Spangled
Banner masse in vicbry over yon castle, you
shall no the," replied COI. H. ste•n!v.
"Hurrah, hods, we'll live a long life yet. Old
Bravo's tho m'n to stick to the castle as long
as there's a shot in the Itrker, or a man to stand
by him," replied the fellow , with a shout.
All eyes Were now lived with a deep intensity
upon the height—and galling was the agony of
suspense which they endured between the mo
menta which elapsed during the terrible contest
which was going on around the castled
Suddenly the fhg of the Mesitans went down
amid the strife, and the Colonel shouted—
" There goes the enemy's banner; the Castle is
won r
"And there goes The flog heck again, go it, old
Brave shouted another of the Legion, as the
Mexican Hag rose to the top of the stiff, and
waved to the breeze.
A niutteied ejaculation ramped the lips of the
Gerona, and each one again axed his eyes upon
the scene.
The- contest -raged on with unabated vigor,
and inn few momenta the brow of the hill way
hidden from sight, by the dark cloud of smoke
which bunt thick around it. A half hour passed,
and as a strong wind swept down the plain and
lifted the smoke fiom off the height, the enemy's
OK had again disappeared from the staff. A mo
ment of deep anxiety followed, and then the A
merican banner ran up the staff and floated
proudly over the battlement'.
.I.lp •with them," thundered the deep voice of
the Colonel, and the next moment thirty human
beings were swinging in the last agonies of death,
from the gillows; and as they quivered in the
rising sunbeams which glanced along the plsin,no
lodic of sympathy felt upon their detested features,
for alt considered that they richly deserved their
fate.
Such, mailer. was the fate of the Foreign Le
gion—men who, scorning all the attributes of
nobleness and love of country which generally
exist in an American bosom, left the standard of
freedom and a. handft,ll of comrades in the
heart of an enemy's country, surrounded - by an
overwhelming force, to lend a helping hand in
destroying the bravo little army which wee toiling
on to death or victory—hooted and despised they
met the traitor's doom.
