My father used to live at Ilethcl, in tile high street, in a house 1 c tn still see before my eyes with its slate roof and projecting beams, a hospitable house it' ever there was one. ior folks knew the way to it. They entered with their wallet empty and went away with it full. We were all seated one night at the fireside ; my father was smoking his pipe and watching the fire bum, my mother was ironing, and I wa3 read ing, when we beard a noise at the door, and saw enter a boy with frightened looks. What is the matter?" 'It is a soldier very tired who has jiit fallen exhausted befoe the door." My father loved soldiers. He rose brusquely, ran out, and there lie wits, before 1 had taken a step com ing in with a young soldier leaning upon him, or rather my father had taken him up and was carrying him like a sack of corn. My mother hastened to draw the big armchair up to the fire. The soldier v,-as made to sit, or rather re-' cline in it, and my father said, look ing at the poor fellow : "Is it possible! Walking in that slate?" The fact is that the soldier was very thin and pale, his hair Ualten cd on his forehead, the veins of the temples big as your finger, his face black with dust. We were then in the month of October and the weather was beginning to grow fresh, but the poor fellow was neverthe less sweating big drops, as if it had been dog days. He mu.t have had along tramp. His shoes were in sluods; you could ste where the stones hail torn the leather ; the left foot wa-s bleeding. The soldier did not move but remained in the arm chair with his head thrown back, his eyes half open and white as a sheet. My mother had already put ome soup on the fire. ''iiah!"Ea:d my father; "the first tiling to be looked after i3 the feet." And leaning down be began to tear and cut away the shreads of leather. The solder's fett, all swoll en and full of blisters, looked like the feet of the martyrs, swollen with pain and wealed by hard cords, which we see in the pictures of the Spanish painters. My father dipped I113 handker chief in vinegar and washed the wounds. "You," he said to me, ''make some lint," And I began to tear up some ohi lint-n that my mother had taken out of the big cupboard. Meanwhile the soldier had come to himself. He looked at us at my father, my mother and myself and the two or three neighbors who had come in one after the other. His wandering eyes seemed to interro gate everything. It was no longer the road, the stones, the great desert ed ffoods that he saw before him, but a gay room with a ceiling of shining oak, a cloth on the table, a knife and fork laid and a brown earthenware' soup-bowl emitting a savor' smell of cabbage soup. Then he raised himself up, lean in" on the arms of the chair, and safdto my father, with confused emotion : "Ah! monsieur. Hut you dp. not; know me." , "Ah! well that docs not matter; we will become acquainted at the table." , , , Wc had already dined, but my father wished to bear the soldier com pany, lie sat down to the table opposite him, as it were, brooding over him, and looking at the regi mental buttons that bhone on his cloak. The soldier ate, and ate heartily ; my mother served him.. "Well," said my father, suddenly, pointing to the tin box that the sol dier carried slung on a cord, "you liavefiuished your time, for there is vour coinage. Then why do you kill yourself by toiling along the big hwav? I eee how the matter stands.' You have no money to pay for the diligence." "I?" replied the soldier.- "I have received my bounty and pay, and mv mother has sent me enough to pa'y for a place in the coupe, if I liked. But I could not" rW JUL J A SOMERSET, "I understand," said my father, who did not understand at all. When the meal'was over the sol dier tried to walk. He tottered, ut tered a smothered cry, and fell b tck into the chair. I then saw a U ar in hi eye. He was a young man, rather thin, but nervous, dark, and with an energetic look. IIt was not the man to shed a tear for a little, and that tear puzzled me. "Ah," he said, with a movement iu which there was n little aner and a good deal of grief: "I shall not be able to walk until to-morrow morning." "Walk?" cried niv mother, terri fied. The soldier shook his head. "You don't know I must. It was a vow. In our Ardennes those primitive souls have respect and faith. I saw my father look at the young man in the face without astonishment ami with mute interrogation. "Yes." said the soldier, "I will tell vou the whole story. You have perhaps, saved my life-; I ought at least, " to tell . you who I am. My name is Jean Chcvauchcux, and my father is a wood splitter at Mez ieres. He is cn honest man, .'ike you, monsieur. Seven years ago when I drew for the conscription I was madly in love with Marguer ite Servan, a good lieaty girl an-i a pretty one. I had already ticked her in marriage, and her father had not said no; but, you see, Pierre Puvioux had a.ske her in marriage at the same time that I did. Pierre is a man of my age, who carries his heart in his hand, as the saying is gay and well-looking. I ought to have detested him, and he has re mained my friend. Well, Father Servan said to mc as he held out his hand : " 'You are worthy to be my son-in-law, my lad, but first of all you must please my daughter. I will ask her." "Marguerite, when asked, said that she would gladly consent to be my wife. Put she said the same when they talked to her about Pierre. She loved both of us, one as much as the other ; she hesitated she did not dare to decide. But still Ehe could not marry both of us. "Time "went on. When the thus of the conscription came wc dreiV lots, Pierre ami I. on the same day. I had number three, and he had number seven, and so we both of us became soldiers. For a moment I was in a state of great fright I con fess. People at Mezieres said that Puvioux had a rich aunt, and that siic would buy him off. If Puvioux did not join "the army, Puvioux would marry Marguerite, and I, knowing that I would be obliged to go, for I was poor, I thought I al ready heard the fiddler at the wed ding, rending my ears and my very heart. "Luckily, Puvioux was not bought off. His "aunt died leaving debts instead of a fortune. He had not a sou. We were ..obliged to shoulder our guns, and v. e were expected on our way bill every moment. One night Father Servan took us each by the arm and led us to an inn, and this is what he said to U3 : "My boys, you are both good and honest Ardennais, equal in merit, i love you with all my heart. One of vou shall be my son-in-law ; that is " understood. -Marguerite will wait seven years. She has no pre ference cither for you, Puvioux, or for vou, Chcvaucheux, but she loves Loth cf you, and she will make hap-1 py the one whom fortune shall j choose. These are the conditions on which one of you shall marry mv daughter: you start on the same day it is probable that you will re- J turn on the same day. Well, the. one who first comes and shakes! hands with Father Servan, and j says : "Here I am, my time is out ; he, I 6vear, shall be the husband of! Marguerite." "I was astonished ; I thought that I had misunderstood. I looked at Puvioux and he looked at me, and although we were sad enough at heart, we were certainly ready to ' burst out laughing. ! ' Put Father Servan was not jok-! ing. lie had discovered this means of getting out of the difficulty, and he meant to stick to it. I held out mv hind and swore to act neither by ruso or violence, ana to lei i uv ioux marry Marguerite if he return ed to Mezieres before I did. Pierre stood up and swore the same, ami then we shook hands, while Father Servan said : "Now the rest is your affair. The only thing is to escape bullets and j to return saleiy. ; i-.tt stage! Ooou heavens, it 1 arnv- "Bcforc leaving I wished to s e j c j too late !" Marguerite . Just as I was arriving i "And Puvioux," asked my father, ing under her window it was at j ie causht up ?" dusk I saw some one in the shade j "Xo," he replied, "I am ahead, coming in " the same direction. I j r f I could start now I nhould be sav stopped short. It was Pivioux. i oj." He seemed vexed to find mo there. "Start? In this state? Impocsi- 1 was not particularly pieascu io , mwt him. We stood lucre tor a moment like twosimpletons looking at yc toes of our boots. Then, with a movement of courage, I said to Puvioux : "Shall wc go in together ?" "We entered and took our fare well of Marguerite. She listened to us without saying anything, but there were tears at the tips of her blonde eyelashes. Suddenly Pierre, who was talking, stopped and began to sob and I to do the same. Then Marguerite joined in, and there were all three shedding tears and pressing each other's hands. "When the diligence that look U3 away from Mezieres began to rattie on the pavement the next day I felt inclined to throw myself down from the imperial and get crushed under the wheels. The more so as there was a Lorranicr at mv side who was sinirinff in a melanLnoly voice a song of his country, and I said to j myself: 'It is all over, Jean, you will j never see uei agiuu. ; "Well vou see. Time p;isses. The j seven years are over, and who knows ? Perhaps I am pot only going to see her but to marry her. "There are, indeed, strange chances in life," continued Jean Chevau cheux. "Pierre and I started on the same day and the same hour, and we were placed in the same regi ment. At first I was vexed. I should have liked to have known se ESTABLISHED, 1827. PA., WEDNESDAY, that he was faraway. Ayou may im agine, I could not love him ranch, liut I reflected afterward that if Fu vioux was with mo I could at least talk about her. That consoled me. Well, I said to myself, I am in for Hcvcn years cf it. ; After all, one gets over if ''In the regiment I became a fast friend of Pierre Pjivioux. He prov ed to be an excellent good fellow, and at niaht, in order to kill time, we used often to talk ef Mezieres, of rather bervan and ot Marguerite. We used to write to Mezicrs often, but each, told the othr the contents of his letters. It w; a single, it is true, but it was loyal When Mar guerite or old Srvan replied, the letter was for both ot U3. An equal ; doso oi none was given to each ol ;1. ; uf, and so we went on hoping, i ' One day the colonel took it into Lis head to appoint me corporal. I was vexed and proud at the same time. You see I was no longer the e itial ofjl'uvioux. My stripes gave me the right to command him, and in the eyes of our Ardennais that was no small advantage. But I did not glory in my rank ; on the contrary-, it made me ill nt ease. I did not dare to talk to Puvioux any more. Then I reflected that there were more ways than one of getting rid of my new rank. I neglected my duty and was forthwith degrad ed. But who sliould be made cor pond in my st&id but Puvioux. But Puvioux was not to be outdone; at the end of a week ho resigned. After that there was no danger of any propositions being made to us to make anv change of our uniform. We were condemned to remain com mon soldiers. "So much the better," said Pu vioux. "What luck?" saidl." "Whcn we had 6ervcd seven years for I do not mean to tell vou our history day by day I said to Pu vioux: "Well, now is the time to start, eh ?" "Yes,"' he replied, "we are expect ed." lou know, 1 Raul, the game will not be finally won until both of us arrive at Mezieres, and until he loser has declared that the combat has been loyal." "Agreed," said Puvioux. "And so one morning, with good shoes on our feet, and stick in hand, w- set out lorlMezicrc3 fromAngters where we were in garrison. At first we walked along in company, not saving much, thinking a cood deal and walking above all. The weath er was terriblv hot and dustv. Half way on one of our marches I sat down on the roadside overwhelmed with fati.'U". "Arn vnn irntnf (n si.'iv t'if.rp said Puvioux. "Yes.". "Adieu!" he sn:d continuing his m.ireh. "Au re voir." "I watched him as lie went on with a firm step, as if he had only just started. V hen 1 saw bun dis appear at tne bend ol tne road, and when I was once alone, as it were, abandoned, I felt a great despair. I made an effort. I rose and began to walk again. That little halt had done uie good. I walked, walked and walked until I had caught up to Puvioux and passed him. "At night, too, I was well ahead, but I was worn out. I entered an inn to sieep alittle. I slept all night. In the morning I woke up. I saw that the day was getting on ; I was furious and called some one. "You have not seen a soldier, pas3 on foot ?" "Yts, monsieur la militaire, very late last night. He asked for & glass of water." "Ah ! I was outstripped in my turn ! I started hurriedly. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon 1 had not caught up to Puvioux, nor at 6 o'clock (timer. At night I took mv rest while I ate, and started to wall again. 1 walked a good part of the night, but my strength had limits. Once more I stopped. I knocked nt an inn. The door opened, and t litre, sitting in a chair, I saw Pu vioux, pale as death. He made a movement ef displeasure, when he saw me that was natural. We did not talk much. What could we say ? We were both tired. The gre-at thing was to know who sliould get up first for the next morning. It was I. "The next morning was this morn ing. Since this morning I have been walking, taking a rest now and then, but only a short one. We are getting close. Itethtl i3 the last sLi-ro between Anglers and Mezieres. r triow my map of France now. The i.jep "I know my feet arc swolen and rut provided 'that to-morrow " "To-morrow you will be rested you will be able to walk." "Do you think so?" said the sol dier, with a look ardent as light ning. "I promise you." My father then advised the sol dier to go to bed. He did not re fuse. The bed was ready. I Ic 6hook hand3 with us and went up to his room. It was ten o'clock. ' I will wake you at 0 o'clock," said father. It wa3 not yet daylight on the following morning when father, al ready up, looked out of the window to see how the weather was. While he was at the window he heard some heavy footsteps on the road below, and in the obscure twilight that precedes daybreak he perceived a soldier who was walking in the eli- rection of Mezieres. 'Up area(jy ?, sai(i falhr Tho soldier stopped, "Well," continued my father, "are yen off?" The soldier looked up and tried to make out who was speaking to him. "You arc Jean Chevaucheux, are you not ?" asked my father. "2 o," said the soldier, "I am Pierre Puvioux." And as if that name of Chevau chcux had been the prick of a spur MARCH SO. 1SS1. he resumed his walk more rapidly, and was soon lost in the obscurity. When my father could no longer see him he could hear the noise of his shoes on the road leading to Mezieres. "Ah !" said my father to himself "Chevaucheux must be sharp if he means to catch up to that man." And he went straight to the room where Jean had slept He was al ready up and looking at his feet by the light of a candle. "Victory F he cried when he saw my father ; "I feel free and strong and suffer no more. En route!" "And quickly," replied my father. "Puvioux has just passed through Rethel." "Pierre Puvioux?" ."I have iust spoken to him. He passed under our window, going along as if the devil was after him." "Ah, mon Dicii !" exclaimed Chev aucheux as if he had been struck down. He repeated once more: ''Ah, mon Dieu!" Then he buckled on his knapsack and cried : "After all, what you have told mo gives mc courage. Let me be ofT." In a room below my mother, al ready up, was filling a wallet with provisions for him. But he refused. He wa3 not hungry. Putting on a pair of my fathers shoes he started blessing my mother and leaning on my father's arm to take the first stop. Three or four years after this we had heard no news front Chevau cheux. Wo used often to talk of that evening when the soldier had come into our house bleeding and weary. What had been the end of that romance of love so strangely begun ? One day my father had to go to Mezieres on business. He took me with him. At Mezieres he wished to enter the first barbe's shop that he saw to get shaved. On the door step a little child was sitting with its legs V.part and smiling at the sun." "Will you allow mo to asked my father, laughing. puss 9" tr, a I I'll h, 1 j'ilv..J huv with a. little lisp. At that moment the tloor opened and a man in his shirt sleeves ap peared the father and took tho child up in his arms, saying: "Iicrre! Pierre! do you want to drive away the customers?" I recognized the voice and so tlid mv father. Y'e looked at the barber. The barber looked at us. It was Jean Chcvaucheux. He laid the child down at once and held out his hand. His face was all red and all beaming with pleasure. "What, is it you? Ah! and think that I have never written to you. Ah ! you don't know. It is I who married her; I arrived first" And rushing into the back shop: Marguerite ! Marguerite ! he cried, "Come, come." lie was wild with joy. A young woman appeared, blonde, pretty blue-cved. with a pensive and gen tle air, a little sad. "You do not know ? ' said Chevau cheux to her. "It was this gen'.let man who took care of me so well ; Rethel the niht before I arrived ac your father's house. I havt often and often talked to you about him ; this is the gentleman. Marguerite fixed her large calm eyes upon us, saluted us softly; then as her husband continuetl to evoke the past, she looked at him tenderly with a look that supplicated and was not without reproach. But Jean saw nothing. " "Ah. it is to you that I owe all my happiness, monsieur I My child, my little bov, look at him, mv little Pierre ! It was my wife who wished that he should have that name! Isn't he a fine boy, and strongly built? Ar.d my shop is going -on first-rate. My wife, I adore her! And a'. 1 this I owe to you !" "And the other?" asked I im prudently. "The other?" said Chevaucheux He curled his lower lip, did not see that Marguerite turned her head awav, and answered : "Pierre Puvioux?

It stood out in bold relief against the sky, a massive monument to the engineering skill of - "Well, and how do you like mc?" The reporter started. There was certainly no one in the neighbor hood, and yet he had surely been addressed. "I say, do I impress you favora bly?" . Again the voice reached the re porter's ears in deep basso tones. There was no longer any doubt a3 to its origin. The monolith had spoken. Any but a newspap er man would have retreated in dis may, but here wa3 an opportunity not to be lost ! An interview with the monolith ! It w.ts equivolcnt to a conversation with the Sphinx. The reporter braced his nerves, as sumed a careless air, as though it was the most natural thing in the world to chat with obeli-ks, and said : "Y'ou're certainly impressive, and now may I be so bold as to put a few questions on my side ?" "Fire away," said the obelisk. "You being a somewhat distin guished emigrant " "Emigrant ? How do you make that out ?" a3ke J the obelisk. "Well, you came over in the steer age, and I " "Enough ! I'm not used to jokes, so please errop them," said the obe lisk, in gruff, rumbling tones. "In Egypt wc never joke. We leave such trivialities to the Franks." "But you are in America," sai l the reporter. "I am, but it's net my fault. To think I should have lived for centu ries, only to be plumped down at last in this out of tho world spot." "So you do not fancy our coun try ?" ''Xo. In the first place, your cli mate is beastly. After basking in a perfect atmosphere for countless ages, I am now subjected in my old age to the most bitter frosts, while sleet and snow beat against me, making every grain in my body tingle. This is indeed a cold recep tion to give a stranger." "But you have conic among a great people." "A great people !

"Wc are credited with great commercial people, most extravagant nation being a ami the in exist- ence." "Y'ou know nothing of money or spending it," said the obelisk. "I remember old Barneses II. A jollv old boy, by the way, and what 1 call a good liver, lie spent more on a dinner than you fellows make in a month in Yv'all street. Never had less than a thousand gallons of wine served with the courses, and when he made a night of it, oh, it was immense ! The streets ran wine and blood for a week afterward." "Wine and blood ?" "Yes, he was sure to kill a few hundred slaves or so before seeing daylight a favorite amusement of his. He ws a jolly dog," and the obelisk shook with laughter. "Of course I'll never see those good old days again, but it's a pleasure to re member some people have enjoyed themselves in this world. I remem ber a big feed old Pamcses gave on the marriage cf his two hundreth daughter. It tce.k half a year to pre pare for it, and the world was ran sacked for new dishes. It lasted nine days, and the oid kir.g never went under the tabic until the even ing of the last day, and when they picked him up to carry him to bed he killed fourteen slaves just to con vince the company ho was sober." "Of course you have seen Cleo patra ?" "Seen Cleopatra, and I one of her needles ? Well, I should smile. Of! course the old girl was a stunner, and no mistake. She had every thing her own way for a time, but I hear she made a lool ot herselt in the, end. Women always do they get mashed on a man." when "Dnl I understand vou to s.IV mashed ?" asked the reporter. "You did, and why does my us ing that term surprise you ?"' "Well, I supposed it was a liUie too modem for your vocabulary." ' Don't yoa believe it. There is nothing new in it. Why, nlang of all kinds was known to us Egyp- tians thousands of years ago, and don't you forget it" The last few words convinced the reporter. "Well, before Cleopatra got mash ed on that adventurer, Antony, she fairly ruleel the roost, swept uie deck every time, anel wa3 alwavs sure to hold over every rival." "Hold over ?" asked the now fair ly astonished reporter, "Then pok er "Poker ! Don't say a word. If vou could have seen some of the lit tle games I have witnessed they would have made vour hair curl.

If i : does, then we should say that wo ' men are often more courageous than ; men, since tho existence of a sulli ; cient motive for encountering peril makes a vast deal more difference, i on tho whole, t" their nervo than it make3 to th" ::ervo of men.

If Miss -tobbe is right, and courage implies the cxi.-tenee cf some motive of absolute obligation on It-half of which peril is to be faced, then women, so far as they really enter into such motivts, are, we believe, braver than men, be cause they live more singly ami heartily in the purer emotions f which they surrender themselves. If, oa the contrary, courage is to i cover all the ccses ot sefl-posscssion tnd coolness in reril: whether there ! is or is not a high and disinti pestcd motive for confronting the peril, then j men are the more courageous, fur tneir temperament 13 more comba tive ; there is more in it which rises to an emergency only because there is an emergency to rise to; more of immediate reaction against any thing that has an aggressive look, than there is in women. Wc should say that the minds of women do not rebel as instinctively against mere collr.psr s as do the minds of men. When there is any profound a"ec- i tion which steels them against such a collapse, they are more wholly impervious to it than man. But when there is no such antidote to collapse, the collapse of horror sets in much more easily in their minds than it docs in the sturdier and less mobile nature of the male sex. i Men arc less prone to be unnerved ' , . j. ! bv their fear than women.
