At the commencement. of the -; 1817,.Iwas sub-licutenaiit in a tei Inent pf cavalry which was garrisonse in the chief town of one .fT the distriet in the south o! France. I was but si> teen, as was oltei the case tiilog l officers of the aicient rogine an1 i consCque.c: weak enougi to in.agihie shoul be in the e es of my'emii n of vety little consequence. if I dI n endeavor to add thi ftaults inherent i iny pirofession, to those iiatural to mi youtht. [ was then as fonid if fun ais page,~hair-brainodl as a munsketer< 1 750, and, in a word, imiitedl in m person the past and the resent, as isJe. pre8ssed in the Charter. By the aid . an enormous pine, I aped the ilud toj ei in violenlt contrast witht imy scho~lamti mienl. I occaIsioned imuchi sport to mi comaradles when they, saw mo curl th downy beard of my lips. in thme vai hiope of piroh'nginig it to a mo nstaclht ir vhien. thme heard mei imitte , inI 01 dher to give miyself a more cavaier all the iincorrect jargon which the birdc Visitandics ,iimmoitalized by G ressei had related of his voyvages on the Louire On account of my ipropens ity to indulg in bonbons, as 1 m uiforim wais gree. and orange, and my nose hooked lik the beak of a parte,.eli~t, the first lier Atenant of liy squadrtlon1 lastenedl fu im tho nick-name of Vert- Vedt. As thi pleasantry haid comnifcedC with mysel there was no one disposed to dispute it fitness. With this exccption, I was t happiest and gaycst oficer of the whiol nrmny. In fact, how couldt they hel loving~ a good child, who mounted thi first horse at hand; who did his owni dui tvery badly, but whow was alway readIy to do that of every (Inc else; wh paid for as much punch as the other wished, butt whol att the sameI tiime drani )ione himself; wvho fught very gallant hy with thme town's5 people, ill order ti redress wrongs never received, amiu whieb he was the first to atcknowvledg afterwards.

There were no walks in the envirols, wilth the exception of the great dusty rouds, without a tree to shade the inssers by from the heat ol r the iut; no society in the interior, willi the exeception of that whicb we had to eneounter once a week at the house of the Prefbet, and which after we had Olie seen, we felt no wish to see nain. We lived then tuch in each other'S society', and for my part, I did not con. plain, tig, at this epoch. I had no taste for the world, and I was still in all thc ardor or my first belief in friendship sweet illusion, Which nothing is moi likely to crente than military life. I -livided my tine between the,poorly fil filled duties of mny office, the reading o stomiie poor romances, which were noi admitted into the paternal librnry, th< evenio' launlge upon the little esplan ade, planted with fortv-eight stuteI sy camTores, and the lon g sittings at the Coll"-e-house of the garri'isnii, where, my large pipe ill 11nouthi, I heard the old olicers or th( em pire relate with regret their log-wided accounts of' tliei c'ataip:ains. enjoyed this lii of existence, si m its mnjtomy, forabout six months when we learnt that the Freich Gov erinent upon the demand of Ferdinand VIf, 11:11 just ordered lhiat a band of Spanish refugees, all aIncient I artisam of itNg Joseph, lshould he t ranisli v-red fromI Pal, where Ihey were thought to be too iear the P , rcices, into the little town where we were posted.

Are Iyout aan unider arrest ' , This ad. dress was to me a reguhn' epigrati; hut I was not vexed by it, and answored: 'No Madame, I am not under arrest. I return early, because my-heart issad at having seen the poor Spanish' refu goes arrive.' 'Al ! Have you seen them ? Ah, well ! my husband has now gone to the Mayor to offer them his servics. You know that we haVe a little 'pavilion to let at the bottom of the court; this would be convenient for a f11amily.' 'Perhaps it will be too dear?' 'That lepends upon eircuniieiances; if the people wlo want it are poor, thev may pay accordingly. You know that elpeche and I are not covetous. God, in givin us fortune and denving us children, has without doubt wished us to be useful to those who are unfortun ate.' 'You have given me no little pleas ure, for you have just spoken like a good aunt of mine, whom I love with all my heart. -Good evening, Madame D)elpeche.' Some moments after, a carriage stopped at the door or the house, and .I heard tle voice of my wot thy landlord who called his wife. Then, it llpplar ed to me. they were tal:ingr off the trunls, and there was an unwonted movement in the little court which con ducted to the pavilioin. I conclided from this M. Delpeche had obtained his end, and 1 was plensed at it. I slel t 1upon this good thought as soon as the ioise ceased, which did not happen till late inl the evening. The next mcninriig, when my servant. camte to awake me, iln order to announce that it was the hour for parade, lie in fornied e the pavilion was let to an old Spanish Gend, who was instal:ed there with his daughtdr. 'llave you seen them ?' asked I 'Yes, Sir; for I assisted them to un load their carriage. They are very uiliappy. The father is blind and the daughter mhute.' 'Ruender them all the assistance in your power, aind (10 not wait till they ask it of yon; if they should ofler to pa'y you, accept it; the poor thiik them slves nh61 when they finid an occasioni to be gencrous; it is not necessary to taike this pleasure from thein.' IHaviig said this, 1 mounted my horse aid weit to p'ace myself at the head f uy platoon. I was sure that my s;'ervanst would do all that I had charge'd him to do. On yIlV rction i from the palade, 1 qiuestioned 3ailamme Delpeche colcern m in may neiglihbors.

"Do not speak thus, youn; man," d an old Captain of my regiment, avely, whose servioes dated f'ron the st insurrection in La Vendee; "civil Lrs are terrible, as they har'len the nscience, and then the greatest crimes pear duties, inflexibly takes the high. anding name of honor. Let us pray God to spare us the grief of seemg w revolutions, arind in order to soften D memory of those past, let us pardon we would be pardoned." "I approve this spirit of harity, my ar Captain," replied I, half con .in d; "but to shoot a brother!' 'You forget that this brother would ve hung him.' 'Allow, at least, what a fine occasion was for pardoning him.' 'A miracle, my friend; I think with ur part, detest this man, if it seems tural to you; pity him, which will be I better.' These words made some impression on my nmind; yet, when I returned me, a few moments after, I was finu resolved not to make the acquain. ince of Chevalier de Colombres; and established to my neighbors the ex isive privilege of the little court. The recital of the Spaniard had op essed my imagination, iu such a man r that I could form only' a' gloomy ,a of that pitiless man, who had not sitated to sacrifice his brother in or r to obey his political feelings. I agined him As tall, thin, round shoul red, with. a contracted brow,. partiy Id, bald, bilious couPleXion,. harsh ice, a ferocious smile; in a word, like e great criminals of the melodrama, e only ones of whom I had ~at that no any knowledge. My opinion on iS subject was so firmly fixed, that I is sure of reen-nizingr the Chevalier Colombres whenever I might meet :A. 1 thought the same with regard his companion, of whom the most fas inting portrait. I was aroused from my reverie by e sound of stel s in the room adjoin g my parlor, and almost at the same mient a gentle knock was heard at door. I gave the salutation usual such cases, and my surprise was eat at seeing two persons enter, ioni I recognized for my neighbors, hough they did not resemble the cations I had just made. The Chevalier de Colombres was in ality tall, but hiis form was all that n be imagineod that was noble and im. sing. His browv open, at thme same ne calm and sad, was shaded by Ion.' ks of white hair, which gave to his cc a tching expression of mildness d dignity. llis eyes rather veiled an extinguished, preserved in their ;edne'ss a certain brilliancy which .i~e you feel that their light was not tirely gone. IHis mouth large, but :we set, anniouniced firmness, anid his ('minent ehiin, res9olution; these two it traits were the only ones which had y conformi~y with the opinion which hadl formed of the ancient governor of .1' sa. lie advanced towards me, conducted a young girl, who had nothing re irka~ble except a "raceful carriage, d the most initelbigent countenance delh I had ever encountered. 'Sir,' said the General to me, witlha cetness that made me start, as I hard peeted to find it so formidable, 'I ye taken the libeirty of presenting my Ifbfrvou withiout your permission, caue Iwaseager to express m atitudeh for your kindnesses, and t'o y' to you that I will profit by the for ssion you have given, me, with a inikness equal to y'our offers.' I was a lit tle emnbarrassedl by this wmencement, which overthroew all y resolutions, and~ still more by this -ango contr~ast they presented to all y' anhtieg1 ations. I stammieredi some lite expression, and I brought fo,. umrd t wo seats without much cordaility. Thbo young girl seated the General one of these, and remnained standing his side.

Ah drell! the day after the death of nif inhappy brother, I was notr only suspected, bt watched; and I had the pain af hearing these terrible words sond 'inny cars: 'He isa Spaniard,'this proves aothing.' The recital of the Chevalicr lasted nearly two hours, without my dreamin of interrupting him, and without 'hIS t teing a single expressian which tended to diminish the enormity of hia crime. I was interested in the highet degree' by'that kind of confession; and from in terest I passed to comojisseration, when, after a moment of silence, the Chevalier resuned: "I wished you should know all, in oryc ihat yu also, you may aniandon the exile, if you do not judge himi wor thy your pity.
