With the two former he-was frequently obliged to dispense, but he could npt and would not do without the latter, nor could he help indulging in smoking if it'-wcre'ever so little, before he undertook anything serious. A few puffs at the spur of the moment would satisfy him, but to be without* them at all was a matter of impossibility. For this purpose he had appointed as his pipe hearer one of his "bovs" (as lie used to call his hussars,) a fellow countryman from Bostoek? Christian llenneman?who had charge of a large box of^Dutch clay pipes, all filled .with tobacco, and ready for use at a moment's notice. This box constituted the principle item of the "Marshall field equipage. Henneman was so do-j voted to Lis master and liis cljarge, that lie would have killed on the spot any one who attempted to purloin a pipe from the box, or bring the latter in aangcy of breaking-some of the precious (to him sacred) contents. On the morning of the memorable battle of Waterloo, Henneman had just handed his master a light pipe, when a cannon ball struck the ground close by, scattering earth and gravel in all di-v rcctions, and causing the white charger on which he was mounted .tospring aside?a ma noeuvrethat broke the pipe into a thousand pieces belore the Qwncr had time even to lift it to his lips, "lust*keep a lighted pipe ready for me; I shall be hack in n few moments, after J have driven away the rascally French churls."

"?)onncr atid Blitz," cried Blucher, "\Vliy, that is my llenneman. How you look, boy ; what are you doing here alone ?" "Waiting for your ^speedy return," was the grumbling answer.? "You have come at last I have waited for you here, pipe in mouth, for the Whole long day!? This is the last pipe in the box. The cursed French have shot away every pipe from my month, have ripped the flesli from, my head, nnd shnttered my arm with their deuced bullets. It is well there is an end to the nattle, or you would have been too late even for the last pipe." Saying which he handed to Blucher the pipe to enjo}* the remaining fumes of the weed.
