THE IRISH WIFE.
=
I would not give my Irish wife
For all the I: Jaen of saxon land—
I would not pi . . e toy Irish wife
For the Queto of France's hand,
For to me she is dearer
Than castles strong, or lands, or life—
In death I would be near her
And ruse beside my Irish wife.
Oh, what would be this home of mine—
A ruined, hermit-haunted place—
But for the light that nightly shines
Then its walls from Kathleen's face?
.What comfort in a mine of gold—
What pleasure in a royal life— •
If the heart within lay dead and cold;
••• If I could not wed my Irish wife?
I knew the law forbade the banns—
I knew my King abhored her race:
Who never bent before their clans,
Must bow before their ladles , grace.
Take all my forfeited domain —
I cannot wage with kinsmen strife —.
Take knighly ear and nobl ame.
And I will t keep my Irish wife .
wife has clear blue eves.
My heavn l ik e day ony f ondn e ss night;
And twin-truth and l ie
Withinher swelling bosom white;
lily Irish wife has golden hair -
Apollo's harp had once such strings—
Apollo's self might pause to hear
Her bird-like carol when she sings.
FIVE YEARS ON GUARD
During the French empire every regi,
meat had its dog, whose intelligence, thanks
to the soldiers' care, was improved by edu
cation and discipline. The grand army's
dogs were picked up almost everywhere,
except in England. They had been re
cruited in Poland, in Prussia, in Holland,
in Saxony, and in Flanders. They were
mongrel mastiffs, hounds, Danish dogs and
spathels. But no matter whence they came,
they soon turned out French. Foreign
dogs were naturalized without knowing it.
Rugen is' an island on the Black Sea, op
posite to Stralsund, on the coast of Pome
rania. Fortified both by nature and by art,
its situation is exceedingly strong. In time
of peace, in consequence of its fertile soil,
its salubrious air, and its mild climate,
it is a delightful retreat. In time of war it is
an important post, a natural citadel, a for
addable fortress, whose possession has been
purchased at the expense of many a bloody
fight. During the campaign of 1807 - this
island was comprised in' their sphere of
operations; by the corps commanded by
Davoust, and was ocCupied by an
infantry regiment of the line, and by several
companies of sappers and miners. The
regiment, of course, had a dog---a black-and
white poodle---niuned Capucin, not because
he was born in a Colman. convent, in Italy
(which would have been quite a sufficient
reason), but-in allusion to the copper or
iron rings by which a gun-barrel is fastened
to its stock: The dog's sharp bark might,
perhaps, have been thought to resemble the
snappy report of a mtifiket. '
In consequence of a change in the plan of
operations ordered by Napoleon the nit,
the island had to be suddenly evacuated, to
carry out a movement in retreat, abandon
ing the whole line of the Pomeranian coast.
Every post, every man was withdrawn, but
in such a hasty way that_they forgot an ad
vanced sentinel, perched on the top of a hil
lock, which commanded the entrance of
Rugen. This sentinel was a young soldier,
named Firmin Bonard, who had scarcely
been three months in the service. At pres
ent a soldier who has served three years is
considered quite a veteran.. At that time
troopers who could reckon three, five, seven
and nine years of service were still called
conscripts. Now, Bonard, the soldier, and
Capucin, the dog, happened to be particular
friends,
bound by the strongest ties of mu
tual attachment.
The corporal of the post had planted Fir-
Min as sentinel on the hillock exactly at
`midnight. The latter thereof calculated on
being relieved-at two in the morning, and
also that from two till five in the morning
he,would have three good hours to doze and
slumber in the corps of guard. So Firmin
• Bonard beguiled the time by - anticipating
this supreme indulgence, also by thoughts
of his' villain steeple, of his aged cure's
• ancient housekeeper, of the haystack where
he used to play at hide and seek; and sundry
other, recollections. In this way the minutes
slipped slOwly by, and the two hours' guard
were 1 • a close.
All at once he heard a slight noise. He
listened. "It is the corporal coming to re
lieve the'guard," he thought, and prepared
to utter the formal "qui viva." But the
sound, which resembled that of human foot
steps, was soon followed by complete si
lence. "I couldn't be mistaken!" he said
to himself. "Besides,
my time must now
be up." He listened again, still more at
tentively. - Almost immediately he heard
the barking of: a dog, who came running
forward in his direction. On recognizing
Capucin's voice the sentinel looked around
him anxiously. Perceiving nothing which
threatened an attack, he wondered what
could be the meaning •of this nocturnal
visit. ,Before he had time to consider the
matter the animal had climbed the hill and
was jumping up his legs.
"It's you, Capucin. Very good. You
got tired of waiting there; awl I am tired of
standing here. The air is keen, and lam
tetribly sleepy. You should have brought
the• corporal with you. His watch must
have stopped. He ought to sell it for old
iron, and buy a new one."
Capucin's answer was a frenzied bark
and a series of mad leaps around his friend.
"I understand," -said: 'Sniffing.
"You're asking me . to dance to warm my
self. It's a pity you are not provided with
the password. and a musket."
Capucin -commenced to , bark, running
right and left like a creature possessed.
Finding all these manozvres useless, he ran
up to the soldier, pulled him by the coat,
and tried hard to pull him away, renewing
his efforts with so muchviolence that he tore
the. soldier's uniform. Firmin, considering
this proof of affection more troublesome
thanpltasant, lost his temper and gave poor
Capucin a kick. The dog, howling-at find
ing himself so cruelly maltreated and mis
understood, retreated to a few paces distant;
but soon returned, heedless of his friend's
unkind treatment. All lie did now was to
look forgiveness and lick the.soldier's hand.
._"Be guiet, will you? and take yourself
off," said Firmin, harshly, as he.hreatened
him with the butt of his gun, to drive him
away. Capucin, finding he could do nn
gook' unwillingly made up his mind to de
part. He arrivedjust in time to go on board
with•the, last detatchment of his corps.
At four o'clock Armin began to lose pa
tience. Discipline forbade his quitting the
• post, but hunger, which drives the wolf
out of the wood, compelled him to forget
the code mititaire. He left his station and
went to the guard-house, muttering to him.
self, - "If anybody deserves to be shot for:
this it is not I, but the corporal, who doesn't
know his business and keeps a sentinel on
• guard six hours at a time."

"Don't take on in that way," said the
; farmer, in a consolatory tone of voice.
"Shrieking never set a broken bone.. Stay
here and make the best o f
, a bad business.
If the French come back again I can prove
that it was no fault i f yours."
"My good man, ou do not know the
severity of our rule " ~
"They will not "p nigh you for a crime

cannot dive on air. You
. probiibly were
.brought up in the country, and are accus
tomed to do country work?" ,
"Certainly. I can plow, for instance."
"The very thing - for me. I can offer
you good board and lodging, with a small
weekly payment into the bargain. It will
be the best thing you can do. under the
circumstances."
The soldier heaved a heavy sigh, and
slowly gazed all around the horizon, to see
whether any of the ships were still visible.
Beholding nothing, he said at last, " I
thankfully accept your offer."
" Good," said the farmer, Peter Baxen.
" Come and breakfast at once. We will go
on with the plowing afterwards." =
At Baxen's farm the soldier had plenty of
opportunities .of proving his capacity. He
found such favor in the farmer's eyes—and
in other people's too—that Baxen de
termined to try and keep him for good and
all.
"My worthy fellow," he said, one day,
" I look upon,you almost as a son,"
"If my poor old.father," Firmin answer
ed, "were not anxiously awaiting my re
turn to France, I would willingly remain in
Rugen."
' "You can bring -him back with you the
next time you go to France. But what I
want to say to you now concerns my daugh
ter."
Firmin colored up to the eyes.
"Unless I am much mistaken, you and
she are very good friends."
Firmin uttered a few dnintelligible ;Words.
"The neighbors even say you are in love
with her."
"I assure you I never uttered a word
which could lead her to suppose that"
"I know it, and for that very reason I
took upon myself to tell her that, if you had
no objection, she might'have you for a hus
band."
"And she said—"
"Not a word, but, she threw her arms
around my neck and kissed me for a quarter
of an hour !"
- A fortnight afterwards Firmin Bonard
was married to the fair-haired Clarrissa, Pe
ter Baxen's only daughter.
Fqur years then elapsed pretty equally di
vided between love and labor. His thoughts I
occasionally reverted to France, but he had
almost forgotten his compulsory desertion.
The past soon fades from our memory when
the present is satisfactory, and 'the future
promising.
One morning the look-out man in thetown,
of Bogen signaled a fleet of ships in the
pffing.. 1 They were men-of-war carrying the
French tag.
"The French are coming!" people shout
ed to each other. "They are going to
land!"
Firmin Bonard heard it. "The French
are coming!" rang in his ears like the boom
of en alarm-gun. I told him that he was a
lost man. Nevertheless, a thought struck
..him which relieved his heart-by a glimmer
of hope.
He ran home, put On his uniform, seized
his arms, and mounted guard on the very
spot where, five years before, he bad unin
tentionally been abandoned. Meanwhile,
boats full of soldiers rowed toward the hil
lock. In the forepart of one of the boats
was a black and white poodle. As it ap
proached the beach the creature barked with
joy. In spite of his anxiety, Firmin's eyes
tilled with tears - as he recognized his old
friend Capucin. The dog, unable to mas
ter his impatience, jumped into the sea and
swam ashore.
As "soon as the boat had come within ear
shot Firmin "made ready," and shouted at
the top of his voice, "Qui vive!"
"Qm vive, yourself !" said the occupant
of the first boat, - which was filled with offi
cers, composing Marshal Davoust's staff.
"Who are you, and what are you doing
here V"
"I am a 'sentinel, keeping guard."
"A. pretty sentinel ! How long have you
been on guard ?"
"Five years."
"It is time to come down then,”, shouted
the officers, laughing.
When Fermin descended from his hill
Capucinran to meet him half way, barking
with joy and jumping into his arms. -
"Poor Capucin, have it all your own
way this time. Do what you like. IDirty
me, tear my clothes; I shan't send you
away. I ought to have made a better return
for year attempt to serve me."
Followed by the faithful dog, : Firmin
joined, his former comrades. He gave a
plain account of what had happened. By
a lucky chance, the corporal who had for
gotten him, and who had been promoted,
belonged to Marshal Davoustis staff. He
received his old comrade with open arms.
Firmin, in return, invited' la countrymen
to the farm, where he entertained them with
liberal hospitality. , The adventure reached
Marshal Davoust's , ears. He laughed at
Finnin's strategy, and p . resented him with
a discharge drawn up in due form.

"to appear before a courtmartial after having
kept guard so .
Firmin continued a farmer. Ho had a
large family, who at present 1111' the largest
and most important ciffiees in the island.
They are commonly Inown as the Senti
nel's Family. When • the French army
left Rugen, Capucin remained. Like his
master be forgot his military mates, and
devoted himself exclusively to farming.
