In 1324 an old latlr, named Madame do Sariiie, livjug in Uuseony, had olio of those nursery fijilm with her grandson, aged soven, which ut I lie time are t reatt d as i tei n .l pins, and aflernurds regarded us proRiei'livu vir tue. Young master had been required to kneel and demand pardon for some misdeed ; young master refused. Hacking into a corner, ha doubled his little Guts and in a voice of infantine thunder exelaimed, "Touch me if you dare 1" Old grandmamma rsariac wus laiu to leavo her lebellious descendant to his own devices ; which rebellious descendant was (Juftot) de Kaoii.-Bet-ljOiillion. the I.ittlu Wolf of that (iusttin household. On another occasion the Little Wolf, oQVnded by Bap. tiste, ordered Hapliste out of llio house. The old servant, not taking the dismissal of u lial.y much to heart, remained, and the next morning performs his services as usual. Little W oil, tunous, appeuls to erumlmammn. ii'undmninma, iiidinunt ut this baby inva- .ou ol her her authority, upholds I'.aptisto. ery well ! lisps Little W oil, in on agony of passion, "then you must chouse i t ween lu in and me. II he stays I go. True to his word, the young autocrat dis- ppuured thut very niuht, nud was only recov ered wheu he had wnnilured three good leagues away on the Toulouse road. Another time also he started off. This was when M. le Coiute le Kaoiisset-Houlbon, senior, came to take him to till Jesuits' College ut Fri- butiig; and pupa Houlbou was a man so cold, to stera, so severe that even the Little Wolf was duuuled, and pr-'fened the woods and hunger to that iron face and icy heart. This time he was two nights in the forest ; hut the old count caught linn ut lust and hauled him off to Fribourg. 1 lie Jesuits received hnn kindly and edu cated him judiciously. He had been eight years ai the college, and had uever received a punishment in uny shape, when cue day- be was seventeen now the reverend father ordered bim to kneel iltuiug the evening lesson, as exp'atian of some collegiate ofl'eiifee of which he hud been guilty. "J will only keel betoro Ood, ' ho (aid to tho father Graliee "You must obey or leave tho colleee," answered the father. ''My choice U'made," replied Gvston, and I I c. .1. . ii ' ua teiv yie cuuegu iiiuv very meniui. . A snort tune alter tbis he came of ace. lire father celled him into his ftii.lv, and in the presence of a notfVry gave hipi up all the accounts of his minority,' putting him in im mediate, possession or the lortiino devolving ou him through his mother, and taking his receipt with the terrible formality and uutoni. aton-lika solidity of his character. (Jaston remained a short timo with his father ufler this, but the severe rule of the old royalist was not much to his tasto ; and. in a few mouths the young Comte de Uaousset Houl bon, handsome, ardent, rich, accomplii.hed and generous, found himself in Ihe full flood of Parisian temptation and PariB'im excess. lie was not lone in weurmir off tho thin lacker of modesty und humility with which ota collegiate education mlel.t have covered his imtiirul impetuosity ; not lonz either in forsaking the white flag, in allegiance to nhieh he bad been brought up, for the tri color and the I'uitb of la jeune France. A year of Parisiao life sent htm duu-u to hia lather's house a very different being to what he was even wheu he left it. From tha royalist school-boy had emerged the republican dundy, Papa Houlbon wis horrified. After dinner, while Gaston smoked his cigar on the terrace, he said to his wife (Uuston'a mother-in-law ; lits own mother bad died wheu he was an infant :) ' ' , "Madame, it will be painful to me t,o dispute with my aon ; impossible to support bis onpo. sition. Y ou tea hnn. ' He returdS to us rom Paris with si beard, and a cigar between bis lips.' Let the cigar pass; but tell bin), 1 pray you, uiadame, that it does not become uian of bis birth to wear a beard like a moujik, and that J shall be obliged to bim if ha will make a sacrifice of It to my wiblies." ! ' Gaston's beard wag a vtrf flne one ; he was vroud of it; aud It added not a little to bis pvantv ; bat the old ma a was not one to say so. GantOrt yielded, and the best morning appeared with a smooth chin. "Monsieur," said the'' count to him, "I thank you for your deference to my wishes." A few days after this be said oguiu to his wile : '. . ' "Madame, I authorize you to tell my son that he may let his beard grow ugnin. After duly considering the mottcr, I dd not see any objection to it." Gaston, charmed,, locked urt his razors ; out the old man soon grew disgusted and impatient at the unseemly stubble thut neces sarily prefaced the full-grown beard. "Madnrno," he said, one evening, "decidedly a board does not become Gaston. I pray you tell him to shave it olfagnin." For ull answer to this request, Gaston wont up stairs, packed np his trunks and' started that night for Paris. Tbo father and son never met again. Returned to Paris, Gaston plunged with even fiercer pnssion and more reckless license iulo the dissipations and vices of his class ; realizing in himself oil the imid extravagntice which Leon, Cozlan, llulzac, Kock and others havo described as belonging to tho "lion" of the nineteenth century. Of course, his for tune was soon dissipated, and he had to take to various unpoeticul means of earning a simple subsistence. At last, wearied with his position, and having in him a fur nobler character nnd larger nalnre than the lire of tho Boulevards could sutisfy. he resolved on going to Algeria, them to settle and colouize on a grand scale. O.iston de Kaousset could do nothing iu niinattire. II is father died ad.iHt this time, and the addiliuuul portion which came into his hands helped him on wonderfully ia Algeria.' - . His lifu was by no means' dull or uninter esting there. He mada himself renowned as one of tho most dating sportsmen of tho colony ; he performed many brilliant actions as a military volunteer, aud ho kept a kind of open honso for all who cared to accept his almost regal hospitality, lie uUo wrote a political pamphlet, which attracted conside rable! notice und procured him tha favor of the Due d'Atunule. All was gniug on merri ly when the revolution of 1 813 broke out; ar.d Gaston da Uaoussel, like many others, was crushed nnd ruined by the blow. Hut Gaston was none the less a republican because the republic had destroyed his fortunes, lie was not one towiunt with the hounds Tor the moment of their success, unless ho catild joiti heartily in the game; and his speeches to the electors of the Houehes ues Kboue and or Vaucluse, his urticles io the journal which he edited more than a year, his whole couduct and language bound him publicly to the cause of liberty, though he made but littlo personul gain out of his advocucy For hn failed at the general elections, und he failed at the election for tho Legislative Assembly. Disgusted at his non-success, be quitted Paris and France fur the golden laud of California. He sailed from Southampton on the 17th of May, iu the Avon, going as a steerage passenger among sailors and servants. Jl was a hurd trial lor his pride, ulso for onn of his luxurious habits; but tho other French gentlemen on board soon found out hia real value, and, steerngo passenger as he was, he associated with tho cabin passengers us their equal, which assuredly he was, und somewhat their superior. At San Francisco he turned fUl.cr.iian uud flsh salesman ; then he was a lighterman, working hard from morning to night iu lading and unludkig ships: and lastly, he wei t off to Los Angelos and San Diego to buy cows, fur the purpose of reselling them at an enormous profit at San Francisco, lie made the journey muny times ; once striking off on a solitary voyage of discovery. Hut his cow-selling ended disastrously, though it gave him a clear knowledges of the country, and enabled him to mature the great project he bad conceived, the weakness of the Mexican government and the hatred of the people foi the Americaus gave him the idea of forming at Sonorn "a valiant French bar rier." which should both protect Mexico against the L'uited Slates and form Ihe nucleus of an Important French colony. Mr. Diilon, the French mnsul at San Francisco, was consulted on this project, lie entered into it warmly ; gave M. de Haouaset letters of introduction to leuding people, able to help him, und our hero left for Mexico to lay hia plans before the house of Jeker, Torre & Co., bankers. This was the project proposed. The mines of A riznnn, which hud been abandoned for a long while, owing to the terrible neighborhood of the Apache Indians, were known as the richest und most easily worked in all Sonora. I he Mexican government wits to grant these mines to Ilaoussct. and he wus to free them from the Indians, develop their resources and inal.n them the nucleus of r rench emigration. In about two months tune the Kestaurodora Company was formed, and u formal concession of the land was made to it by Uen Arista, president of the Mexican republic. Two months uftor, ltousset signed a private treaty with the directors ol the company, engaging to laud at once at Guaymux. In Sonora. with hundred and fifty armed men under military organization, to explore uun tuku possession of Arizona ana. her mines the society under taking the cost, of tho expedition, sending ammunition aud provisions to taiiaymas und to Sane, half way between (iUayinas und Arizona, ror hi share, Kaousset was to hn.ve half of tho fund, .the. nines, and the ulaees already "found uud to be found. M Augilur, governor of Sonora, and M. Levas sour, Fn n 'h minister at Mexico, were mem ber of 0-e UasUuradora Society. r uniislied with ' powerful letters of introduction and protection, notably to General Jilunco, ntili- tary chiif of Sonora, our hero and his little baud disembarked nt Gtiaymns in June, 1 852. Immediately on I.iiiuiuir. he. wrote to Gen . ral IJlanco. who had been apprised before- hand by M. Levasseur of the expedition. The general feigned astonishment, ignorunce and liesitutioii ; nnd commanded Hanussut to wnit inactive tit Uuarmas until he had mude op his ii'iod what he should da with him and hia followers. The minister remonstrated ; Tlaousset complained ; the general was firm. For a rivul company had been formed ill Mexico to dispute the possession cf Arizona with the Hestaurudora Soriety, and Hlanco and the landing men of (Juaymus belonged to it. After a month spent in Inaction, luxury uad rapid demoralization of the whole band, Kaousset went alone to Uermosillo, where his volunteers were to join him.- Hut his troops fell into disputations and anarchy by tha way i and llaotiaael had to gallop back to near Unay.inas to rally,, rata and reform them. At lleruwsillo he made ae example of eome of the ringleaders, whom be diataiaaed with ton li rupl, aud the little band fell quietly under hia control, Qu the 16th of Aegost they arrived at lbs Pueblo di Santa Anna, en mule ia Baric, where food and stores awaited them; aod there Kaousset received a notice signed by Blauco.. aud ddreesed to the department, which. "requirvd the French to renounce their uatioualitT t or, in co o( refusal, tbey were to be forced to re-euibarh. M at Kaousset relused to obey tuts annum or to accept the alternative r and be aod hit men pushed on to Sarif, wbero the two dra goons brought them the general's final and irrevocable decision that they must either become - Mexican soldiers without pay as such they might clnim the mines or they might be still Frenchmen, but then strangers, and incapuble of possessing land, according to the ancioiit law of Mexico; or they might reduce their band to fifty men, under a ro. Sponsible Mexican flifcf, in which case they might march at once to Arizona and take possession of the mines in the name and for tho service of the llestuursdora Company. Kaousset assembled his men, road them the conditions of the general, nnd asked what course they would takoT They unanimously refused Dlanco's proposition, and determined or. continuing the expedition uccording to the terms of the agreement made with tho Ke stauradora Company. The prefect of Altar, under whose jurisdiction Sario was included, next fuibede further march or future posses sion to these armed French immigrants; and Col. (Jimenez not only added insult to his compatriot's breach or faith, but even wrote privately to Lenoir, Ruonssel's senior lieu tenant, to urge him to seize the command of the troop, and deliver t hem over to Ihe Mex ican authorities. Lenoir pave the letter to Raotissot, who read it aloud to the band j and they, for all answer, cried "To orms 1" with more vigor than prudence. Kaousset re strained them fur themomeut; but further correspondence, with the Mexicans having proved to him that nothing was to bo got by patience or by parley, he declared war. On the 2d of September he and his men quilted Saric and murcbed-buck ou llermosillo, stop ping fur a week at La Madeluine, then in all tho gaycty and joyousness of her fete-time. At La Madulaine was a young girl, fair as a Saxon, tull, proud aud beautiful. Some one at. her father's attacked the character of Kaousset. She defended him, although her lather, being one or tho principal authorities of Sonora, was officially his enemy. An old lady suid satirically : "My dear Antonia, are you Bericusly in love with this pirate chiefT' "Yep," answered Antonia, rising and dra ping herself iu her rebuzo, "1 do love this pirate, as you call him. Yea, 1 love him 1" The next evening Antonia, in the sight of six thousand people, went to the pirate count's camp and into the tent. In eight days Ilermossillo was reached; and in eu hour after tho preliminary parley witu ovarn, the temporary prelect, the French, with a severe loss of ollicers and men, were masters of the town, and tho war was fairly begun. As tho Northern Sonorians hated the present government and favored the French emigration, it seemed as if it would be the sicnul for a cenerul revolt. Perhaps it would have decided tho ouestion had Kaousset been enabled to follow up the advantage he had gniued ; but, unfortunately for him, he fell sick immediately after the battle, and, mure dead than alive, was carried back to Guiiywas by his men, utterly demo ralized by the want of their leader "and tho loss or their officers.

Kaousset was marching on Guuymas. und would surely have taken it, even in the present enfeebled stale or Ins band, as it was totally undefended and unprotected. Kaousset obeyed the sngges tion ; but no good cume of it; and, in the evening, his sickness increased, so that for three Weeks lie wus insensible and hovering between life nnd death. When he recovered he found thut the company had treated with Gen. Hlanco, and bad accepted forty thou sand piastres for the evueuation of Sonora. As soon as he was able Kaousset went to San Francisco to organize another expedition; and at this moment Walker, the filibuster, offered him tho command of his troops in Lower California, which offer he refused. Arista now gave up the presidency of the .Mexican republic, winch hantu Anna as sumed. The Frenchman believed in Santa Anna, and hoped as much as be believed. But tho two men quarreled in their inter views ; and do Kaousset in revenge eutered into a plot against Santa Anns, which was discovered; the plotter himself recelvinc tiui. ly intimation of his betrayal, and so able to escape the doom which else would have overtaken him then. He returned to San Francisco, still with Sonora, tho mines of Arizona and Antonia in his head, und he worked at his plan so well that in the middle of May, eighteen hundred nnd fifty-four, he sailed for Guuymas, prepared to take his own course for weal or woe. 1 1 o began his journ ey by gurroting the American captain, who wished to delay tho start owing to the terri ble weather ; und, on tho twenty-eighth of June, he landed at Guuymas.

The Quaker's Corn Grftfv A man had been in the habit of stealing crro from his neighbor who wa a Quaker. Kverv night be would go softly to the crib, and fill his bag with the ears which tho good old Quaker's toil hod placed there. livery morning the old gentleman observed a diff" Inution of his corn pile. This ws9 annoying and must be stopped but how? Many an one would have said, "Take a gun conceal yourself, wait til he comes mid fire." Others would bave said, "Catch the vi'.lian, and have him sent to jail." Hut the Quaker was not prepared to onter into any such measures. Ho wanted to pun ish tho oflender and at the sntr.o time brinf about his reformation if popsihlo. So be fixed a sort of trap close to the hole throogh which tho man would thrust his arm in gottiog tho corn.

His tired limbs, compelled to sustain b!a weary body, would fain have sunk beneath him, aud Ida heavy eyes would have closed in slumber, but no ! there was no rest, no sloep for him.

What was to be done t Somo would say, "Go out and give him a cowhiding just as hn stands und then release him; that'll cure him." Hut not so said the Quaker. Such a courso would have s.-nt away the man embittered, and muttering curse'i of revenge. The good old man hurried on his clothes, and started at once to the relief and punishment of his pri soner. "Good morning, friood'said ho, as ho came iu speaking distance, "llow does thoo do t" "The poor culprit mado oo answer, but burst into tears. "Oh fie !" Baid the Quaker, as he proceeded to release him. "I'm sorry that thee has got thv hand fast. Thee put it in the wrong place, cr it would not have beeu so." The man looked crest-fallen, and bogging forgiveness, hastily turned to muko hia re treat. "Stay," said his persecutor, for ho was now becoming such to bo the offender, who could have received a blow with a much better grace than tho kiud words tbAt wcro falling from the Quuker's lips. "Stay, fiiond thy bag is not filled. Thee needs corn or tbeo would nut have so much pains to get it. Couie, let us fill it."

The Quaker was inexorable and be was obliged to yield Hreakfust over, "Now," said the old Quaker, as ho helped the victim shoulder tho bag, "If thee needs any more corn, coma in tho day time und thee shall have it."
