fond of three things?? glass of wine, a game of
cards,and a pipe of Tobacco. 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." Witli those words Blncber gawd the
command, "Forward, boys!" and oiV be galloped
with his cavalry. Instead, however, of a chase,
of a few minutes, it was a rapid fnarch cf nestl*Jy
a whole hot summer day,' as we all know
from history. . -
Alter kiie battle was oVer, Blucher rode back
with Wellington-to the place where lie first
got a glimpse of the combating armies, and
Hearing the spot where Blutfcher had halted in,
the morning, they saw to their surprise a solitary
man, his head tied with a handkerchief,
* one arm in a sling", and calmly smoking a pipe.
"?)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. "Wellington, who had listened attentively
to the conversation, here rmn?i?v?n
