A TRUE STORY.
THE FIRST (RENA DIER
OF FRANE.
For many a y ar there was a
touchin g and beautifil c(st cm to
be witnessed in a certain re uneI'lt
of French grenadiers, and which
was meant to (ollnulnmorate the
heroism of a (eparted cumlrad.
When the companies assemblei
for parade and the roll was calle .
there was one name to whici i:s
owner could nocpt an\wei-1it wa.,
that of La Tour d'_nvergne.
When it was called, the nMejt
sergeant presenlt stppe a ace
forward and raising his laa: to
his cap, said proudly
"Died on the feld of honor.
For fourteen years this custolm
was continued. an( only (ceased
when the restored Bour'bots. to
please their foreign masters. for
bade everythig that was calenha
ted to preserve the spirit of the
soldiers of France.
La Tour d' Auvergne was not
unworthy in life the honor t.hum
paid him after his death. Hie was
educated for the armv. entered in
1767, and in 17S1 served under
the Duke deC Crillion at the sieg'e
of Port Mahon. Hie served a]
ways with (listijnction, but ce'n
stantly refused offers of pr'omolKn.
saying~ that he was onily tit Par the
command of a company o1 grcna
diers; but finally the various gren -
adier companies beCing unite:'' Ii
found himself in commniand of a
body of eight thousand mnl. wihile
retaining only theC ra'k of :euin.
Hence lie was known us the
First Grenadier of Fr'ance.
But it is of one particularex

and while here the brave g'rena

the war had been rapidly shifted
to this quarter, and that a regi

to occupy a narmrow pass ab)out ten
