- JPHE DESERTER

TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH,

In the year 1809, Pierre Pitois was ser- geantin the 12th regiment of tie line, then quartered in Strasburg. He was a native of that half savage, half civilized part of Bur- gundy, known under the name of Morvan; and his comrades ever spoke of him asa Always the (first and last liking «but

‘ladeed, captain, I have heard every word, and I thank you with all my heart, for your news, which I consider very gocd.’

‘I thought you would,’ said the officer.

‘But, captain, is there now chance of ob- taining the leave of absence?’

‘Are you mad?’ was the reply day before

‘Leave of absence the very taking the field?’

‘] never thought of that, said Pierre ‘We are, then, on the point of taking the field, and at such &time I suppose leave is never given?’

*It is never even asked.

‘It is quite right—it is never even asked. It would have the appearance of cowardice. Well, then, I will not press it any more ; | will try and get on without it.’

‘And you will do well,’ replied the cap- tain.

The next day the twelfth regiment emtered Germany, and the next Pierre Pitois des serted.

Three months after, when the twelfth regis ment, baving reaped in the fleld of battle an abundant harvest of glory, was making its triumphal entry into Strasburg, Pierre Pitois was ignominously dragged back to his corps by a brigade of gend’armes. A courtsmar- tial was immediately called. Pierre Pitois was accused of having deserted at that very moment when his regiment was to meet the enemy face to face. The court presented a singular spectacle. On the one side stood forth the accuser, who cried—

‘ Pierre Pitois, you, one of the bravest men in the army, you, on whose breast the star ef honor yet glitters; you, who never in- curred either punishment or even censure from your officers; you could not have quits ted your regiment—quitted it almosé on the eve of batile—withoul seme powerful motive to impel you. This motive the court de mands of you, for it would gladly have itin ils power—if not to acquit you, which it ought not, perhaps, either to do or to desire —~—at least to recommend you to the Emper- or’s mercy.

On the cther side stood the accused, who answered—

‘I have deserted without any reason, without any motive; I do notrepent. Ifit were todo again, I would do itagain. I de- serve death—pass sentence.’

And then came some witnesses, who des

* Pierre Pitois is a deserter, We know it is a fact, but we do not believe it.’

And otbers averred—

‘Pierre Pitois is mad; the court cannot condemna madmen. He must be sentenced then, not to death, but to the lunatic asy-

jum.’

With some sacr whea he should } accept me, I will be to thee that friend.’

‘ Pierre,’ she said, ‘ thou hast been a good gon: and I thank God for it; but the duties of ason are not the only ones a maa has to fulfil. Every citizen owes himself to his country ; it calls thee—obey! Thou art going to bea soldier. From this moment thy life is no longer thine own: itis thy country’s. If its interests demand it lay itdown cheerfully. If it be the will of God that thou should’st die before me, | should weep for thee my heart's tears ; but I would say, - He giveth and taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord!’ Go now, and if thou love thy mother do thy duty.’ Oh ! how precious those holy words; | have never forgotten them. ‘Do thy duty, she said. Now, the duty of a soldier was always, and in all things, to obey; and in all things and always,I obeyed. It was to go straight forward—to go home without hesita- tion—without second thought; and I went straight forward—faced danger without hesi- tation—without a second thought. Those who saw me thus seek, as it were, to meet the bullets, said, ‘ There is a brave feilow!’ They might have better said ‘ There isaman who loves his mother!’

One day a letter brought me the tidings that she was ill—my own poor mother. I longed to goto her. Lasked for leave of ab- sence; it was nol granted. I gemembered her last words-—‘ Ifthou love thy mother do thy duty. [ submitted. A little after I heard that she was dead. Oh! then my senses for- sook ine; at any risk I determined to travel to the country. Whence proceeded so ardent,so impetuous a desire to see once more a place where my mother had just died?

Breaking in Shoes.— The ‘Herald of Health’”’ has the following on ‘ breaking in boots and shoes. It is true to the letter. 1. Never ‘break in’. new boots or shoes, If they are not easy when new don’t take them, for the boots will break your feet oft- ner than your feet will break the boots, 2 If you go on ‘ breaking in’ boot leather you will need a special last, made with all sorts of knobs end protuberances to correspond with your distorted joints. Then you will be sorry. 3. If you have large feet, admis it in all honesty, and have your boots made accordingly. Then you will be happy. 4. If your shoemaker don’t know enough to make easy boots and shoes, refuse to take his work, and tell him to learn his trade bes fore asking your patronage.

Reviving of the Apparentiy Dead.—Some experiments as to how jong after cessation of the phomena of iife attempts to revive may be successfully have been described by a German medical peper. They were made on cats, alter injection of potassium salt into the blood. It was ascertained that after forty minutes continuation of a state which could in no way be distinguished from death, life may be perfectly restored. The obsers vation deserves attention in reference to the restoration of human subjects; as it con- siderably extends the limit of time at which death can be certainly affirmed . Another observation was, that an artificial breathing through an opening in the windpipe was not sufficient for restoration; the thorax raust also be compressed at the region of the heart. Whether it is the mechanical stimu- lation thus imparted to the heart, or the slight variations of pressure produced in the arterial system, that is the essential point, is uncertain; but the compression was cer~ tainly as essential as @¥e renewal of the air.

Boiled Head and Shoulders of Cod.— Cleanse the fish thoroughly and rub a littie salt over the thick part and the inside of the fish two hours before cooking. Lay it on the drainer in the fish kettle with enough cold water to cover it, Be careful not to pour the water on the fish, lest it break the skin, and to keep it just simmering. If the water boils away add a liltle by pouring in at the side and not upon the fish. Add flve ounces of salt to each gallon of water. A cod large enough for twelve persons will usually require to cook gently for half an hour. When done lift it on the drainer, slip off upon a hot napkin, garnish with sliced lemon and grated horse-radish.

Economy.—One of the hardest lessons for young people to learn is {0 practice economy. It is a harder duty for a young man to accu- mulate and save his first thousand dollars than the nextten thousand. A mancan be economical without being mean, and it is one of his most solemn duties to lay up suffl- cient in his days of strength and prosperity to previde for himself and those who are or may be dependent on him in days of sickness or misfortune.

Extravagance is one of the greatest evils of the present age. It is undermining and overturning the loftiest and best principles that should be attained and held sacred in society, It is annually sending thousands of young men and women to ruin and mis- fortune.

Cultivate, then, sober and industrious habits, acquire the art of putting a little aside every day for future necessities; avoid all unnecessary and foolish habits.

‘A Magnificent Conception, carried out,”

The necessity of a popular medium for the representation of the productions of aur greal artist, has always been recognized, and many attempts have been made to meet the want. The successive failures which so invariably followed each attempt in this country to establish an art journal, did not prove the in- difference of the people of America to the claims of hgh art. So soon asa proper ap- preciation of the want and an atility to meet it were shown, the public at once rallied with enthusiasm to its support, and the result was a great artist and commercial triumph—THE ALDINE,

THE ALDINE, while issued with all regu- larity, has none cf the temporary or limely interest characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It isan elegant miscellany of pure, tight, and graceful literature; anda collectien of pic- tures, the rarest specimens of artistic skill, in black and white. Although each succeed- ing number affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, and the real value and beauty of the ALDINE will be most appreciated after it is bound upat the close of the year. While other publications may claim superior cheap-

The national features of THE ALDIYE must Le taken-in no narrow sense. True are its cosmopolitan. While TUE ALDINE is a strictly American institution, it does not confine itself entirely to the reproduction of native art. Its mission is to cultivate a broad and appreciative art taste, one that wil! discriminate only on grounds of intrinsic merit. Thus, while placing before the pat- rons of THE ALDINE, as a leading charac- teristic, the productions of the most noted American artists, alteation will always be given to specimens from foreign masters giving subscribers all the pleasure and in- struction obtainable from home or foreign sources

Theartistic ilusration of American scen— ery, original with THE ALDINE is an ims portant feature, and its magnificent plates be are ofasize more appropriate to the Satisfactory treatmemt of details than can afforded by any inferior page. The judicious interspersion of landscape, marine, figure, and anima! subjects, sustain an unabated in- terest, impossible where the scope of the work confines the artist too closly to a single style of subject The literature of THE ALDINE is a light and graceful accompaniement, worthy of the artistic features, with only such technical dispositions as do not interfere with the popular interest of the work.
