of October, 180b. On that day the
windy uplands of the northeast of Je
na witnessed the brief but terrible com
bat which resulted in the triumphal
entry of the French armv into Uerlin
eleven dafs afterward- during which
time. Prussia had lost 60,000 men, Co
standards, and 600 cannon. A por
tion of the French army was eneainped
on the battle field, or- quartered in the
I villages around. The poor mhabit
j ant 3 overwhelmed by this sudden ava
lanche of war upon their quiet fields
where for a hundred years or more
they had reaped their harvests in peace
-submitted in helpless apathy while
their houses and barns were plundered
by the lawless soldiery. The battle
was over, but there was no lull in the
blast of ruin. Through the clouds of
cannon smoke which settled into the
bosom of the deep valleys as the raw
October evening came on, were heard
in all directions shrieks of fear, yells
of rage or triumph, .and cries of pain
or lamentation.
- Davoust the 'Butcher of Ham

also the villages of Middle and Lower
Waldorf, which lie further down in
the open valley. You can soon satis
fy yourself, siv, that this village is en
tirely innocent, and I entreat you not
to hed the blood of our harmless peo-
1 p!e.
'J. here is no tune for investigation,
said the officer, 'I am ordered to pro
ceed to Waldorf and am g:ii led thither.
I will wait till you m. ike-your choice
of ten to be sacrificed, but have" ho
authority to do more.'
ly this time the people had burn
ed the fate in store for them. The wo
men with tears and a ppea ling. gestures
crowded around the officer, b Agg.ng
Conrad, a sturdy farmer, and but new
ly a bridegroom. joined him casting,
as he did so, a single encouraging look
upon his future'wife, who turned dead
ly pale but spoke riot a word. One
by ne, as men who have resolved to
face death for mo?t of them had but
trembling, half confidence in their es
capeeight others walked out and
took places in line. The women shud
dered, and hid their eyes the men
looked steadily on. in fascination of
terror and the little children in awed
but ignorant curiosity! The place was
as silent as if devoid of life.
Again" the lieutenant surveyed his
men.
Take aim!' he commanded,
continued, 'aim at their heads,
scene as singularly impressive and af
fecting. The three old men sat near
him as he spoke, and the emotions of
that hour of trial were so vividly re
produced in their minds that at the
close, they laughed and wept as they
had done on the same elay fifty years
before.
In conclusion, the speaker referred
to the officer whose human stratagem
had saved their lives. "Since that
day," said he, "I have never heard of
him. I dul not even learn his name ;
but he is ever remembered in mv
prayers. Most probably he diet! a
soldier's death on one of the many
fields of slaughter which intervened be
tween Jena and Waterloo ; but if he
should be living, it would cheer my
last days on earth if I could reach him
with a single, word of gratitude."
In the same year there lived, and
no. doubt is still living, in Lyons, an
invalid and pensioned captain of the
Napoleonic wars. After a life of vi
cissitudes, he found himself in his old
age, alone, forgotten and poor. Men
no better and braver than he had a
chieved distinction by lucky chance;
fortune bad come to o.liers arid others
hail begotten children to cheer and
vitalize their 'declining years. I.I i t n
the w.irld passed by, and for year "he
had been living a quiet, silent, pinched
life, by the aid of "his scanty pension.
U',6 constant resort was a cafe where
he could see anil rea,d the prineipd
European journals, and perhaps mea

time by the experience of his past life.
One day iii November, lSotJ. he en

long time unknown to sonic of the! an

(the celebrated astronomer) shokred
it to them, -they were absolutely in

"Greeks, and several other nations,; &c

Chinese confess the same of their pro

and other ancient authors, speakj of '
nations who, .at' the time they wrote,
kneAv not the use of fire, or had 'but
just learned 4 it. Facts of the eime
kind are also attested by modern Ina
tions. The inhabitants of the Marian
Islands which were discovered; in .
1551, had no idea of fire. Never was
astonishment greater than theirs when
