TIlK LAST CHARtJE OF NAPOLEON S OLD GUARD.
Napolcoij’.s “()ld uard” f^ainoilby their iitati v des
perate iiisUnces of bravery an iiiiiiiortality iu his
tory, but tlie’.r araiitl crowning act wa.s tlioir des-
pi-rate charge at \\';iterloo, which ha:^ few farai-
lols in aiR'ieut or nioderti wariaie. 'J liev
tor their adored Kntperor, niid to retrieve the evil
lurtuiie> of flie d;iy, they tt'll. as tluut''ii to lo so
would s30urc them iuiniortal glory :ind etornrii
bliss iu the world ot spirit.-!. 'J’],e mu.st ur:iphi-
anil .stirring account oi‘ that last ioartul itnd fatal
.struggle, that W(; iiavc seen, i^ troni a rLcoiitly
piibli.sliod Krench work, it re{*d like war it.soli
— this if:—
I'liring tlie day the artillery o(’tlu> Juard. un
der [>rouet, inantained its old renown, and tht-
Gii:ird itself had freijUiMitly hi'en used to rcstort?
the l):ittl(* in various part.s o(* the field, and :dw;iys
with suece.^s. 'J'he Knglish were fast lieci'iniiig
esiiau.sted, and in an hour more wouhl doub(!e>.s
have been forced into a dis;i.«trou.s defeat, but fur
the timely arrival of IMuchor. liuf \ylifn tlioy
■ iw him, with j’russiaus' approaching,
their courage revived, while Napoleon was tilled
with amazeiin;nt. A beaten encmv wis about to
fbnn a junction with the allies, while (Itiiuchy
who had been .sent to keep tliotn iu check, was
nowhere to be seen. Al:is' what great ])lans a
single ineificieiit commander can overthrow.
In a moment Napoleon saw that he cotiM not
sustain the attack of so many trtsh troops, ii'oncc
allowed to form a junction with the allied force,
and he determined to stake his late on one f>o!d
cast, and endeavor to ]»ierce the allied centre with
a grand ch;yge of the Old Guard; and thus throw
himself between the two armies. l«kjr this pur
pose the Imperial Guard was called up and divi
ded into immense columns, whicli were to meet
in the liriti.‘'h centre. That under Heille no
sooner entered the tire than it disaj'poared like a
mist. The other vi»s placed under Ney. “the
bravest of the brave,” and the order to advance
given. Napoleon ucconqmnied them part ol' the
way down the slo{)C, and halting for a few mo-
inent.s in the hollow, addressed them a few words.
He told them that the battle rested with them,
and that lie relied on their valor, tried in so ma
ny fields. “Vive I’Kmpereur,” an«wered him
with a shout that was heard afiove the thunder
of the artillery.
The wliole contineiitiil struggle exliibiled no
sublimer spectacle than the last effort of Napoleon
to save his sinking empire. The greatest milita
ry skill and energy the w'orld po.s.so.ssed, had been
ta.xed to the utmost during the day. Thrones
were tottering on the turbulent field, and the sha
dows of fugitive Kings flitted through the smoke
of the battle. IJotiaparte’s star trembled in the
zenith: now blazing out in its ancicnt splendor,
now paling before his anxious eye. The intense
anxiety with which he watched the advance of
that column and the terrible suspense he endured
when the Rmoko of the battle wrapped it from
sight, and the utter despair of his great heart
when tho curtain lifted over a fugitive army, and
the despairing shriek rung out, “The Guard re-
coilsl the Guard recoilsl” makes us for a moment
forget all the carnage in sympathy with his dis
tress.
The Old ( luard felt the presence’ of the im
mense responsibility, and resolved not to prove
unworthy of the greatest trust corr^piitted to it.
Nothing could be more imposing than its move
ments to the assault. It had never recoiled be
fore a human foe, and the allied forces beheld
with awe its firn;, steady advance to tbe tinal •
charge. For a moiuent t he batteries stopped play
ing and the firing ceased along the liritish lines,
as, without the beating of a drum, or a bugle nrte
to cheer their steady courage, they moved in si
lence over the field. Their tread was iike muf
fled thunder, while the dazzling helmets of the
cuirassiers flashed long lines of light upon the
dark and terrible ma.ss that swept iu one strong
wave along. The stern Drouet wa.s thero amid
his guns, and on every brow was written the un
alterable resol iition to conquer or die. The next
moment the artillery opened, aud the head of
that gallant column seemed to sink into the earth.
Rank after rank went down, yet they neither stop
ped nor faltered. Dissolving squauroiis and
whole battalions disappearing one alter anoth
er in the destructive tire affected not their cou
rage. Tho ranks closed up as before, and each,
treading over his iFalliug comrade, passed unflinch
ingly on.
The horse that Ney rode sank under him, and
scarcely had he mounted another, beiore it also
sank to the earth, and .so another and another,
till five in succession had been shot/ under Idm *
Then with hi.s drawn sabro lie marclied sternly at
the head oi his column. Jn vain did t!ie artil
lery hurl its storm of iron upon that living mas.-^.
Up to the ver}' muzzle they pressiid, and dfiving
the artillerymen from their places, pushed on
through the English lines, liut, justas the vic
tory seemed won, u tile of soldiers who lay flat on
the ground behind a ridge of earth, suddenly rose
and poured :t volley in their very face. Another
and another followed, till one broad sheet ot'flame
rolled on their bosoms, and in such a fierce and
unexpected flow that they staggered before it
Before the Guard had tinte to ra'ly again and
advance, a heavy column of infantry fell on its
left flank in close and doadl}' volleys. caii."ing it,
in its uii.settled state, to swerve to the right. ,\t
that instant a whtde brigaile of c.ivalry thundered
on the riiiht flank, and ])enefrafi>d where cavalry
liad never gone i)eforc.
Tho intrej)id Guard cotild have bortit* uj*
against the unexpected tire from soldiers fhev ditl
not see. anl would have rolled back the infantry
that had boldly charged their left flank, but the
cavalry finished tho disorder intt> which they had
been momentarily thrown, and broke the shaken
ranks before they had time to reform, an«l the
eagles of that hitherto invincible Giurl were
pushed backward over the sloju*. It was then
the army, seized with despair, shrieked out.
‘‘The Guard recoilsl"' “Tb.e Guard ret>iis!'’ajid
turned and fled in wild disnia}'. To see “the
(juard in confusion was a sight the\ had never
before beheld, and it froze c^ery heart with ter
ror.
For a long time they stood and let the cannon
balls pa.s.s through their ranks, di'dainin:: to turn
their hacks os their foe. .Mitchel, at tlo- head of
those battallions, fought like :i lion. I’o every
conimaDd of the t-nemy to surj-ender, he replied,
“The Guard dies—but never surrenders.’' And
as with his hiSt breath bequiathing this glorious
motto to the (.iuard, he ft 11 a witness to tin ti'ufh.
Death tniver.sed tho.'e eight fialtallions with such
rapid footsteps, that they soon dwindled away to
two, which turned its hopeless dariog on the
ce.
