On the S4th of Joly, 1848, the first day of tbe battle of Onstoza, 60 soldiers belonutog to one of oar reglmenti of infantry," ordered to garrison a lonely house on a height near by, were sad denly attacked by two companies of Austrian, who, assaulting them on several sides, scarcely gave them time to take refuge within the house, and hastily barricaded the door, leaving their dead and wounded on the field. 'The door being well secured, onr soldiers hastened to the windows on the ground floor as well as to those on tbe upper floor and opened a deadly fire on tbe besiegers, who replied .vigorously as tbey slowly approached In the form of a semicircle. . The 60" Italian soldier were com manded by two subaltern officer and by tall, silent, grim old caotaiu with white hair and whiskers. With them was Utile Sardinian drummer, a boy scarcely more than 14 years old, bnt who did not look even 19, with bis dark, olive skin and black, deep set eyes that flashed fire. From a room on the- upper story tbe oaptain direoted the defense, every order sound lug like a pistol shot, bis iron countenance showing, not tbe slightest emotion. "-' i':':':r: -i'- . . The little drummer, pale, bnt with his feet firmly planted on tbe table, and holding fast to tbe walla, stretched oat bis head and neok to look from tbe window, and saw through tbe smoke the Anstrfains steadily advanoing over the fields. v v : The bonse was near the top of very steep' hillside, so that bnt one small, high window In the tipper story looked ont over tbe crest.' The Anstziana did not threatOD that side, nor was there anybody on tbe hilltop. Tbe. fire was directed against tbe front and tbe two She firing was Infernal a close, heavy bailstorm of balls rained upon tbe wall and through tbe broken roof. tearing oat tbe ceiling, shattering tbe beams, doors, furniture, filling tbe air wilb fragments, plastering and clonds of lime and dost, a tensile and broken glass wbizzing, clattering over their beads, rebounding from the walla witb noise and clash thai made tbe bair stand on .end. . Now and then a soldier stationed at tbe window fell Inward and waa posh ed one side. Others staggered from room to room, stanching their wound witb their bauds. In tbe kitchen lay on sol disr, pierced through tbe forehead. Tbe enemy was closing in. At last tbe oap tain, nntil then impassible, began to show sign of uneasiness, and hurriedly left tbe room, followed by a sergeant, In a few moment the sergeant came rasbisg bock and called the drummer, telling him to follow.. The boy raced np the stairs after him and entered a di lapidated garret, in which be saw the oaptain witb pencil and paper la band leaning on the window sill, and lying on tbe ground at bis feet was a rope be longing to the welL . -Tbe oaptain folded tbe paper, and, fixing on the boy those cold, gray eye before which every soldier trembled, said abruptly: -, ; ,. "Drummer I" "" ' The little drummer' band went np to bis oap. -The captain saidi "Thou art brave. Tbe boy s eyes flashed. "Ves, captain," hs answered. "Look down yonder," said tb cap tain, taking bim to tb window, "on tb ground, near tb bouse of Villa- franoa, wber those bayonet glisten. Tbeis is our regiment motionless. Take this paper, grasp tbl rope, let yourself down from tb window, cross tba hill like lightning, rush through the fields, reach oar men and give this paper to tb first officer yoa sea, Tak off your belt and knapsack." -- Tbe drumnM took off hi belt and knapsack and bid tb paper in his breast pocket Tb sergeant threw oat tb rope.

' " " A little oloud of dost rose' here and there around tbe boy,' bnt always far ther from him. He wa beyond tbeir reach.' The cap tain uttered a cry of trinmpb, bnt bis eyes followed: bim tremblingly, for It was question of minutes.

After a moment bis bead waa again seen. Then be was lost behind tbe wbeatfleld, and tbe captain saw bim no more. Then ' be hastened down. Tbe balls rained.

Tbe lieutenant' arm was broken by a ball Smoke and powder filled tbe rooms. Courage!" shouted the captain. "Stand to your post I Buocor is coming I Courage a little longer 1" Tbe Austrian bad approached closer, Tbeir disfigured faces could be seen through the smoke.-Through tbs crash of balls conld be beard the savage cries insulting them, demanding tbeir sur render and threatening to out their throats. A soldier, terrified, withdrew from tbe window, and tbe sergeants again pnsbed btm forward. The fire of tbe besieged slacked. Dis couragement (bowed on every face. Re sistance was no longer possible. . Tbe moment came when tbe Anstrians re doubled tbeir efforts, and a voloo thun dered, at first In German, then In Ital ian: "Sarrendert" 1 '";.'" "No!" shouted tbe captain from a window. Tbe fire became more deadly, more furious on both side. Other sol dier fell. There was more than one window without defenders. Tbe fatal moment was Imminent. Tb captain's voice died away in bis throat as he s claimed: , f r -"Tbey do not -come I Tbey. do not cornel" And be ran forlornly from side to side, brandishing bis tsber convulsive ly, ready to die. Then a sergeant, rush ing down from tb garret, shouted witb stentorian voice: "Tbey cornel" "Ah, tbey cornel" joyfully (boated tbe captain. On bearing that cry all tb well, tb wounded, sergeant and officers crowded lo tbe windows and again tb fierceness of tbe defense was redoubled. In a abort while there were noticed among tb enemy a species of vacilla tion and a beginning of disorder.

FRANCIS JOSEPWAf SIXTEEN A Wonderful Btudent Witb a Prodi .'... srtoue Memory. Franois Joseph was only 18 when ha wa proclaimed emperor, bat the educa tion of the children of tbe Hapsbnrgs, ever since tb reign of Marls Theresa, ha been of a singularly austere and virile cbaraotor,. calculated to ripen them into manhood long before other boys have abandoned the toys of oh i Id hood. As soon as tbey left tbg nursery tbe young arphduke and fail brother, Maximilian and Charles Lonla, were subjected to an educational and military discipline of tbe severest kind, obliged to learn not only Frenob, English and tbe olassios, but tbe principal idiom of tbe polyglot monarchy, compelled to riae at. daybreak, live on tbe simplest food and spend whatever portion of tbeir time not taken np witb their (tndie In aoqoiring the mastery of tac tics and strategy. Wben Francis Joseph attained the age ox id, ne waa aireaay an accom plished linguist and fairly well ac quainted witb chemistry and natural history. Then he gave hi attention ex clusively to jurisprudence, philosophy and diplomacy, under the direction of the famous jurist Pllgrams, Cardinal Baoscberand Metternlcb.- Tbe long list of his studies' would appall tbe moat assimilation of so many scientific, Iln gulstlo and military subjects did ot oost him bis health was due to his pro digious memory tbat royal attribute which, it is said, enables bim to recog nise tb face of tb hamblest of bis subjects, tboagb only seen once, after the lapse of years. - The most important event In the em peror's reign was his coronation at Peat, whiob was tbs symbol and con secration of the reconciliation of the bouse of Hapsharg with tb Hungarian nation. Tbe Magyars, wbo hold to all mediseval tradition more closely tban any other European country, believe tbat the possession of legitimate heredi tary right -doss not snfllce to confer tb fullness of royalty on their sovereign, He must also be tbe custodian of tb crown of St. Stephen, tb contact of whloh oan alone invest him witb regal authority. It is worth noting tbat tb term "apostolic," one of tba official title of Francis Joseph, belongs to him only- in virtue of bis rank as king -of Hungary, on. account of tbe apostolate of St Stephen, the first Hungarian king. , Tb iieoullarltles of tb ceremony, every on of whloh bad to ba strictly observed if the king was to be consider ed tbe lawful ruler of tb Magyar, were singular. He was to pat aside tb crown before be bad ascended on horse back a mound composed of earth brought from tb different sections of tbs mon archy and lung witb bis sword st each of tbecardlnal points, thus symbolizing hi determination to defend 'the country. It wa strlotly enjoined tbat tb mag nate and bishop In attondano should all be in tbeir official robe and on horseback, and wa also essential tbat be should be crowned by tb prlno primal of Esztergam.
