A NOBLE SACRIFICE OE The Three Friends of Van* Yllaiuc AS EPISODE OF THE LATE WAR. In th<\ month of July of this last fate ful year, there did not exist a more tran quil, sunny spat in all France than the little village of Vaux Vilsine. "Very ru ral and primitive it was, ana the echoes from tho great tumultuous world without came few and limit among the green fields aud purple vineyards, where tlie birds sang so merrily and the summer winds sighed so softly thtough the rust ling trees. It possessed several substantial farm houses among its humblest cottages, and a pretty little church, served by an old cure, who, in his broad hat and black sutane. walkcu breviary in* hand from house to house, aud was a veritable fath er and friend to every man, woman and child iu the place. Tho population was eutiroly ri cult umI, and the magnates of the village were a few thriving farm ers, who sent their sorts to* the ciiro for a few hours daily leaching, which gave them some intellectual advantages above tho rest of the jcuilnse of Van* Vi laino. Among these farnicrs' sons were three young nien about the same ago, who wore for some years under the good priest's tuition, arid who had dt that pe riod of their boyhood- contracted a frieuU" ship for each other, which vhey hid pre served intact through the years that had j intervened since tKc'ri. Sunday, the 10th of July, 1870, was a gionous summer day, but intensely not, und when tho benediction service, at which the euro generally gave his people I a little address, was finally over that eve } ning, those three young men?Murtel Lepeltetier, Jules Desmarets and Rossel ?sauntered away to a large tree Which Stood in a retired part of tho churchyard, aud threw themselves down under its spreading branches to enjoy tho soft evening air, whilo they conversed togeth er in free ami happy confidence. Now, their talk was oi tho future; it is not often of anything else with most of us iu those hopeful days uf youth, when tho uuknowu life is full of golden possi bilities, and no shadow from failure or disappointment has dimmed the sunshine which expectant fancy sheds ou all that is to come. "How gloomy the bon perc was iu his sermon to-night 1 ' said Martel, a stal wart youth, wit ? bluo eyes and curling fair hair, and a bright, frank expressit tt of face ; "lie could talk of nothing but tho uncertainty of lifo, and the necessity of preparing ourselves for all sorts of possible trials and troubles. Ma foil I t>.c uo uncertainty in it, aud 1 do not anticipate* any trials. My fate is tattled - for me, and I am very well contented - With it." < I should think ??, imloiu rVxiiW Jules, ?tio Mas tall am? alet^.Awi* keeo dark eyes, and a look of great in telligence and vivacity. "Wb? would Wish anything better than to hare that gentitle. VeVctte for fiancte, and the pret tiest farm in Vaox Vilaioc for yettf home and possession ; your fathet gives bis home up to you when yoa marry, does he not?" . -~--u.ht "Yes, he meats* to retire to my -ratid father's old house, add leave me to man* age the farm, and you shall see wmtt etJC oces I mean to have. I Have , some famous plans, which will astonish all oof old farmefs not a little, I expect.'' "And your WeddtOg is to be d? Au Saluts' Day, is it ncrtf" "Yes, on the 1st of November, without fail. I Wanted it sooner, but Vwettc's I mother doolared she could dot possiblyf before that date, get ready the floe store of linen she means to give us for our new if (Iff* menage. "In the meantime- yotf see Vetefif every day, so yon are not milch to be pitied, mon ami." "No, indeed, nor you either for tit-* matter of that, MoOsicur Jdlett. 1 rap pose you will be off to your Uncle" As s?oii as my marriage is over " -That I shah! Paris! Parkt" ex claimed Jules, starting tip,- and taking a flying lee?) ever the nearest grate, ae an outlet to the excitement which the. very name of the gay capital woke id hint. "I promised to dance at your aoer, Martel, so I will Wait for that, bat I d . not stay here a day after it. ttf took** said L might come in November, afld iftf will have the honor of receiving me fM the 1st of that mouth," "Is it true.that he means to make jroit his huir?'' "So he hints, add he is rich. Ah' delightfully rich ; ho is a horse-dealer, you know, aud he gets guineas without number from the Milars Anglais,- wb? come to Paris for their amds-owenf, f shall have horses to ride whenever 1 please, that is the glorious part of ft. f am to take them out for exercise, and 1 shall take good care they have enough of that, 1 promise yotf/' drid Jules toloa? ed at his friends with a roguish smile. "It is a pleasant prospect, I moat nay," replied Mattel "Well 1 the' cure had surety do nsed to talk to tit of the' trials and miseries of life?unless jott bate' reason to anticipate them, Evariste," he added, turning to tho third young man, who had dot yet spoken. Kvarisfc was smaller aud more dWr catcly made than either of bis co'tdparr ions, and had very refined features and soft hatful eyes,- which were* shaded writ* a certuiu pcu'sirenesS that hardly amotffi* ted to melancholy ; as he turned to Mar lei a peculiarly sweet smile Hf dp hU face. "No," fee angered, "i have no fear*, nor any special plans formed for Hfe : but I have day-dreams," he added, id* a lower tone. "AHt let da hear theid ihed," ex claimed Jules. "You arc somewhat pootie, ?aristc, men dnii, aud porhar/s you mean to' go about the country like j a troubadou'r; Witruing the hearts' of all Ithe fair htdicb* with y'odr sweet BOdge/' Evaristc shook his head, smiling, btfc did not auswer. "Come, tell us Whsit yetfr am^Hfew? is," said* Martel; "I aid sure you b*vu -??.,f tr-VinrifbJ* "You will rdnck yodrsclvos" of me ir I do tell you," said Byariste, while a faint tinge of color spread over his face. "No! no!" they both eXolaimed, "wh> should wo ?" "You know you are far more learned than oithcr of ds"," said JtfleS; "we never studied as you did iu the old days when the cure labored no hard to ham mer a little knowledge into our brains. 1 dare say you have flown fat over our beads iu 3our J1 reams. Gome ! give us. the beucht of them." "Woll," said Evarratc, somewhat re luctantly, "I Ouly wa>>, to do something for my fellow crca* arcs before I hiave the world. J *~ dot want to livo just to amuse thyself, and then die to be forgot ten. I should like to follow thq exam ple of the heroes' of old who died for their county; or, better still, of the mar tyrs who died for Christ." And his face became flushed with a glow of enthusi asm. " TimR ! that is an idea which would not have come to uio." said Julea. uk prefor to live." [Vontinncxl on- Ith iV,V}
