The Wilmingtonian., 1824-01-01
here, will render any further explanation

ment a subject OF enquiry IN the chamber
of Peers: return then, and give yourself
lup as a prisoner, since there are no other
means of removing the imputation of hav-
ling committed a base action-YOur judg-
les are men and although am convinc-
ed of your innocence as far as regards the
conspiracy, am far from being satisfied
Of the result of your trial. You may lose
your life: but know your heart; and ]
know that you will not for moment ba-
lance such a sacrifice with the loss of your
honor. Of mine. and OF that Of .,our chill
ldren."
The wish of this noble and courageous
woman was accomplished: her husband
lreturned-he was tred-the odious sus-
lpicion which had rested upon his name
was removed for ever-and the sentence
which deprived him Of his liberty for a.
ime, left him, in the tender affection of
ibis wife, an ample recompense for all that
he had lost besides
sMy observations at st. Pelagie have
Ionly furnished some additional proofs toI
support this consolatory truth: the Arbi-I
ter of human destiny has placed in the
heart of women--in her generous care, inI
her tender soicitude-a compensation for
all the grefs, all the dangers, and all the
levils Of life.'

T. on the Rhine, in 1894, the French got pos

: curious ruse de guerre, of one Joseph
Werck, trumpeter. This village was
maintained by an Austrian party of six
: hundred hussars. Two companies of foot
: were ordered to make an attack on it at
: ten O'Clock at night. The Austrians had
/, been apprised Of the intended attack, and
were drawn up ready to charge on the as
( sailing party. On perceiving this, Wreck
:, detached himself from his own party, and
contrived, by favor of the darkness, to slip
j into the midst of the enemy. when taking
This trumpet, he first sounded the rally in
the Austrian manner, and next moment
: the retreat: the Austrians, deceived by
8 the signal, were off in an instant, at full
: gallop; and the French became masters
: of the village without striking blow.
