A GRENADIER OF FRANCE.

On the morning of the 15th of May, in the year 1756, the sun arose in all its splendour over the fertile plains of Britanny ; upon the roof of every house in the little village of Carhaix were refiect- ed the brilliant rays. It was the Sunday, on which sacred day all the schools were, closed, and the numerous children,belonging tothe better class of families in the aeighbourhood, taking advantage of the beauty of the morning, had assembled together, and, like a flock of birds liberated from their cages, had hastened to the green fields to engage in a sham bsttle. It wasa pretty and interesting sight to behold the juven. ile band, in all the buoyancy and joyousness of youth and enthusiasm of the moment, marching off, a la militaire, some in the strict order of a well disciplined regiment of infantry, and others bestriding p»steboard horses, like the sham steeds at Astleys, prancing about as cavalry, all beiug clad in paper uniforms, and carrying wooden sabres, end assuming the fierce moustache on the eccasion by the aid of burnt cork.

The “scene” of action having been reached, the parties took up their respeciive positions. The attack commenced and amid the gencral din @ stout battle was fought. Shrill were the pigmy words of command to advance to the charge or retreat given by the youthful leaders, who en- deavoured in vain to deepen their voices as though to impart solemnity to the mimic scene and scccasionally might be heard the rallyiag cry aftera partial reverse; so that the battle was energetically preserved, until at length the con- tending forces, finding themselves exhausted by the severity of the engagement, came toa truce and sat down upon the cool refreshing grass (the battlefield) for momentary repose.

After a slight cessation of hostilities, one of the most spirited of the army of “young France” who had scarcely recovered his breath (and whose chubby face was besmeared with paint, which the heat had caused torun farther than was antici- pated), evinced a seemingly inclination to resume the combat ere the rays ofthe declining sun had disappeared beyond the horizon. The hours of

sweet freedom and recreation caused the day to appear short to him, and at length he broke silence exclaiming:

“* What shall we play now ?”

“It’s tedious,” said another, playing at the same game.”

“Hold!” observed a third, “look yonder at that old blind man approaching towards us; look at h‘s spaniel!”

“Is he not tgly1” cried the children.

Atthis moment the old man, who was withina few paces of them, approached close to the juven- ile camp, and addressing the youngsters iu a supplicating tone said :

“Charity, if you please, my dear little gentle men, charity ;” and the dog with the intelligence natura! to his species, seemed to assume a sorrow- ful and reeigned countenance.

Meanwhile, the mischievous idea entered into the head of one of the children to cut the string attached to the dog’s collar, and release the canine from its blind owner, for which purpose the boy raised himself from the grass and drew a knife from his pocket. Most of his companions, with- out reflection, responded to the proposal with loud huzzas, when, on an instant, one of the party started up, pale with anger and indignation.

“You sball not do it,” cried he, ‘“‘you shall not commit so unworthy an action.”

“Who dares prevent me?” said the other, at the same moment suiting the action to the word by severing the cord.

The old man, finding himself no longer guided by his faithful dog, uttered lamentable cries, and- the poor animal, regretting the liberty that had been given him in spite of himself, licked mourn fully the hand of his afflicted master.

“You area coward thus to attack and insult the blind,” cried the Loy, who had refused to listen to the proposal ; and rushing upon his com- rade and throwing him down upon his knees, in which position he held him, he exclaimed:

“Now repair your fault, and give this old man the money you have in your purse; I hear some crowns clinking in your pocket.”

Refusal was out of the question, and tne mis- ehievous youngster was obliged to deliver up the contents of the purse to his bold companion, who after allowing the former burning with shame and anger—to rise from his vanquished position, advanced towards the blind man, adjusted the cord round the dog’s neck, and drawing from his own pocket book deuble’ the pieces of money he had forced from his thoughtless playmate, said in & goodnatured tone.

“Here my good man, this will purchase you bread for some time tocome My friend is willing through this means to atone for his fault by doing you good.”

The venerable recipient of this unexpected don- ation had not retired many paces when the chil- dren surrounded their generous comrade.

But,” said they, “Maurice did not give half the money you offered the old man in his name.”

“Well, what does that matter?” replied the noble boy disdsinfully; “I couid not handsomely accuse my companion of both cowardice and av- arice 2t the same moment.”

Some pieces of money which had dropped from the pocket of Maurice during the scuffle proved he was unwilling to give up all, and hence

general enthusiasm was felt for the young hero of the day.

But Tour d'Auvergne declined to accept the proffered honour, and, laughing, he replied :

“I prefer to remain . private soldier!”

No life had ever been turned to better account than that of Tour d'Auvergne, the child—destined igure as a distinguished no heart more and The hero of modern days equalled in his plainness the warriors of ancient times. Like A{schylus—at once a writer and a soldier--Tour d’Auvergne knew how to handle the ll as the sword; and the same hand that inthe morning had grasped the sabre, was in the evening dc’ sted to writing works of erudition and talent.

In the year 1781, Tour d'Auvergne was admitted as a volunteer into the army ot Spain that besfeg-

| On another occasion, being surprised and taken

prisoner by the English, the oflicer wanted to

deprive him of his cockade; but Tour d’Auvergne ' indignantly snatching it from his cap, attached it to the point of his sword, exclaiming ; “ There it is! tell him to come and takeit!” { ; At the period of the French revolution, Tour | d'Auvergne was made a captain, his modesty and | simplicity dictating the refusal of a colonelcy which was offered him ; and it was at the head of his company, afterwards distinguished as ‘The Infernal Column,” that he led the assault, and on several occasions routed the battalions of the enemy. At length, old and fatigued, he left the army and returned to Paris, where he learned that the son of his friend was about to depart for the waras a conscript. Tour d’Auvergne how- ever, without a moment’s hesitation engaged him self asa substitute. and enrolling himself once more as a volunteer, hastened, with knapsack on his back, to rejoin as a private that army in which he had fought as a superior officer.

France was atthat time at war with Austria and Tour d'Auvergne, now 50 years of age, found the opportunity of again displaying energy and boldness. A party of Hungarian grenadiers were desirous of seizing upon a windmill, in which had

been placed a store.of arms anda quantity o gunpower ; but so sharp and deadly was the fire kept from within, that the Hungarians were com- pelled to retire, with much loss. At length after many hours of heroic defence, the besieged garri- son in the mill demanded permission to capitulate ; a window opened, and a soldier presented himself. It was Tour d'Auvergne.

“We desire,” said he, addressing the enemy, “*to evacuate our quarters with all the honours of ‘var, with arms aud baggage, drum beating, and colours flying.

These conditions were acceded to by the Austrian chief, who accordingly drew up his men jn two lines, to receive the devoted garrison of the windmill. Tour d’Auvergne then slowly de- scended the steps of the mill, with musket should- ered, and passing between the double ranks of the enemy’s bayonets, presented himsel? before the Austrian officer,

“Well,” observed the then, is the garrison?”

‘Here it is!” replied Tour d'Auvergne, raising his hand, « la militaire, to his cap.

“But where is it, then?” again asked officer.

“ Here!” repeated Tour d’Auvergne.

“What! you alone?” observed the Austrian.

“T was alone in the windmill,” rejoined the veteran ; ‘I was the only yxarrison!”

It was then that Napoleon, admiring the cour- ege ofthe soldier, and not knowing howto re- compense him worthily for his gallant deeds, conferred on Tour d’Auvergne the title of the “First Grenadier of France,” sending him at the same time a sabre of honour in compliment of his services. The brave grenadier, desiring still further to show his appreciation of the honours conferred npon him, persisted—in spite of his age and suffering—in remaining with the army of operations. “I ought notto die in my bed,” he said to his friends; *‘I ought rather to perish on the field of battle in the midst of my brave com- rades !”

These heroic words were fulfilled on the 25th of June, 1900. He fell mortally wounded, having been pierced with a lance. Thus was his predic- tion realized.

The old soldiers of the army—thgf of the gray moustache and furrowed brow, who had never shed a tear since the days of their childhood— wept for their illustrious companion in arms and went into military mouring for his loss. His sabre of honour was deposited amid great pomp in the Hotel des Invalides in Paris, and his name was honorably retained on the regimental roll. His heart, encloséd in a golden case was entrusted to the senior sergeant, whose post was “hat next to the ensign bearing the colours of the Forty-sixth demi-brigade; and every day at parade, at the eall of the name of “Theophile-Malo Corret de ia Tour d'Auvergne,” the eldest of the grenadier company responded, ‘Died on the field of hon- our!”

How much more affecting than any monument of brass or marbie is this strange tribute to the memory of a heroic soldier-—Celtic Magazine.
