Sweden, after a bat tle, in which• the victory had remained with the Danes, a stout burgher of Flens borg was about to refresh himself, ere retireing to have his' wounds dressed, sst h a draught of beer from a wooded bottle, when an imploring cry from a Swede, lying on the field, made him turn with thc'very words of Sidney—" Thy need is greater than mine." He knelt down by the fallen enemy, to pour the liquor in 'his month. Ms requital was a pistol shot in the shoulder from the treacherous Swede. Tlic .ard, "Rascal !" he cried, "I would have be friended you, and you would murder me in return. Now I will punish you. I would have given you the whole bottle, but now you shall have only half." And drinking off half l himself, he gave the rest to the Swedd. .~ Th 6 king, hearing the story. sent for the burgher, and asked him how he came to spare the life of such a rascal. "Sire," said the honest burgher, "I never could kill a wounded enemy." sol- bad ome 'Thou meriteat to be a noble," the kind said, and created him one immedi atery, giving him as armorial bearings a wooden bottle pierced with an arrow The family only lately became ex.tinet in the person of an old maiden lady.

Imagine the feelings of that little crowd as they began to crawl down out of the wagon, for the prisoner witness had their only pistol in his pos session.
