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 burg,' as the Germans called him 1 .1 .1 i mi kView hv woods on the .-ide. J here are 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.
