But it is of one particular exploit of his that we wish to write, more than his career m general. si I When he was forty years ol age he went on a visit to a friend, not far from a section of the country that was soon to become the scene of a campaign. While there, he was busy m acquainting himself with the fea- tures of the country, thinking it not unlike- Jy that this knowledge might be of usp to him; and while here the brave grenadier was astonished to learn that the war had been rapidly shifted to this quarter, and that a regiment of Austrians were pushing on to occupy a narrow pass about ten miles trom where he was staying, and the pos- session of which would cive them I an on- ponunity to prevent an important move . v x. i ment of the French which was then on foot. They hoped to surprise this post, and were moving so rapidly upon it that they were not more than two hours dis tant from the place where he was staying, and which they would have to pass in their march r It matters not hogrh J-tbtr flews. It is sufficient: to say that he de termined at once to act upon it. j He had no idea of being; captured by the enejnv m their advance, ami h at onoe pot nf?for the nasa.

He hastened on, and ;r:iviug there found the tower in a perfect rditiop. It had just been vacated i y ; liison, who had heard of the approach ot the Austrians and had been seized u ith a panic thereat and had fled, leaving their arms consisting of thirty excellent muskets, j La Tour d Auvergne gnashed his teeth with rage as he discovered this. Searching g ne touna several boxes ot ammunition which the cowards had not destroyed. For a moment he was in des-1 pair, but then, with a grim smile, he began to fasten the main door and pile against When he had done this he loaded all the guns ne could hnd and placed them, to- getner witn a gooa supply oi ammunition, uneer toe icop-noies mat commanded the road by which the enemy must advance. : Then he ate heartily of the provisions he naa orougnt witn mm, ana sat down to ii i. . . . .1.. . . wait, xie naa aDSOiuieiy iormea tne he- roic resolution to defend the tower alone against the enemy. j. There were some things in his favor in such an undertaking. The pass was steep and narrow, and the enemy's troops could x : x I-. J x?l J t ' cuier ib ouiy in uouoie me, ana in aoing this would be fully exposed to the fire from the tower. The original garrison of thirty men could easily have held it against a di - vision, ana now one man was about to hold lt against a regiment. ; It was dark when La Tour dAuversne r reached the tower, and he had to wait some time for the. enemy. iThev were lonrar in coming than he expected, and for a while he was tempted to believe they had aban- rf. aonea tne expeauion. ; - - About midnight, however, his pmcticea ear caught the tramp of feet. : Every mo ment tne sounu came nearer; and at last hn heard them entering the defile. , Immediate ly he discharged a couple of muskets into the darkness to let them know that he knew of their presence and intentions, and Kr heard the quick, short commands of the officers, and, from the sounds, he supposed that the troops were retiring from the pass. Until the morning he was undisturbed. The Austrian commander,1 feeling assured that the garrison had been informed of his movements, and was prepared to receive him,' saw that he could not surprise the post as he had hoped to do, and deemed it prudent to wait till daylight before making his attack. ' . At sunrise he surai.o ;iv .l cm- garrison to surrender. A grenadier answered the sum mons. V - . -;- ' ; ' ' "Say to your commander," he said in reply, to, tfiemesscoger, that this garrison will defend thispass to the last extremity." . The officer who 'had borne the flag of truce retired, and in about ten minutes a piece of aIJerwas brought into the pass anjdjneon the tosve?,.

"Go", said he, "and do something after I am done preaching. Have it to say, when I come back, tour weeks hence, that you have done something and my word and God's word for it, you will be a better and happier man." I knew a poor widow liv ing on the edge of some woods about a mile from my. home. Her husband had been deadMwo years, and with three help less little girls she had a hard conflict with poverty. I had often spoken kindly to her and thought my duty ended when these words were uttered; but when the sermon of the old white-headed preacher was done, the resolution was formed to go and do something. Next day I visited tlie cellar and measured out a bushel of potatoes, a bushel of apples and a variety ot other) things, and having put them into a wag-j : on, started for the cottage of the widow, j A load of Tvood, for which I paid three dol- j lars, preceded me. An hour s drive brought both loads in front of the house, and when my explanation was given there were wet eyes and warmer hearts in the party. The widow wept for joy and the children join ed in, while I, finding my feeliugs too much for my strength, had to give way also to tears. The act was one that gave me a new spiritual start, and when the preacher came back I thought the discourse one of the most eloquent I had ever listened to.
