THE ADVENTURES O TRUMPETER.
A taudent in one cf the academies in France was,
spending his vacation at the house of one of his rela-
tions, whom we will call Madame T—. She was.*
very captivating woman—beautiful, witty, and, withal; a
widow.
At the (dose of a pleasant autumnal evening. this
young man and his cousin, for so Madame T. was, re-
turned to her nianeiou after a long and probably very
pleasant walk.
It happened that during the absence of the lady of the
house, the cook had invited a relation of hers, who was e
trumpeter in the hussars, and besides, fond of good
a
living, never refusing a chance at a good meal to spelll
sociable hour with her. Our couple were, therefore,
