unclaimed, and had no priest with him.
At first, they beat a slow march, but we
saw him wave his hand to the drummers,
and understood it was a signal for them to
beat quick time, which they did, whilst ]
dare say more hearts than mine quickened
their pulsation. When they halted on the
fatal spot, the commanding officer pulled
out "a paper, which was The sentence of
death, and he read it with a loud and stern
voice. Every syllable that he uttered was
audible, though we stood at a considerable
distance.
Meanwhile the sufferer took his station,
with his back to the lime rocks, with twelve
musketeers, who were to be his execution
ers, in front of him his air was free and
resolute, and his step was manly, as re-
marked 1t to have been all the way down
from the prison. He threw away the segar
he had been smoking, and could see its
red end fading into blackness, like fore
going symbol of his life's extinction. He
then made his last speech, with voice
that was certainly not SO audible as that of
his sentence had been; but, considering
his situation, it was very firm, and its plain
tivencss-oh talk not of Siddons's tones
was more piercingly and terribly touching
than ever heard from human lips. can
not pretend that he said in so many, or
rather in so few words, what follows; but
though l may give more point to the sub
stance of this speech, the following was its
substantial meaning:
Comrades what my sentence of death
has told you is all true, except it has un-
justly called me the chief conspirator in this
late desertion-forI seduced nobody into it |;
on the contrary, ! was pursuaded into it by
others. The motive OF ny crime was mere
ly an intense desire to see my fathers fami
ly in Italy; and now my hearts blood is to
he shed, and my brains are to be scattered
on the ground, because my heart yearned
for "A sight of my brothers and sisters, and
because my brain could not forget them
Soldiers who are to shoot me, do your duty
quickly, and do not keep me in torment"
lie then stepped forward some PAGES
nearer his executioners, and, with steady
hands and an erect air, bound yellow silk
handkerchief round his eyes. Eleven mus
ket shots Immediately laid him low, though
he jumped up before he fell when the balls
pierced bin; the twelfth soldier going up to
him as he lay on the ground fred close in
to his head. You will not wonder that my
tears at this crisis bldnded me--when I
dried them | could not see the victim. |
said to Lagondie, Where is he : "Look
there" he answered, pointing with his fin
ger; don't you see a red stripe on the
ground p And sure enough saw it; his
red pantaloons made one part of the stripe,
and his bleeding head and body the other,
All the troops then defiled around him.
We came down to the spot, but before we
reached it the body had been removed in
cart, and nothing remained but some blood
and brains and IA portion of bis skull.

OHOOtWg bOtdHT. from Sampbeii
Letters from Algiers.] Imade an appoint.
ment with Lagondie to meet him IN the
square near the Kisbab, at half past one
aext day, and to go out with him to the
tragic spectacle, which was to take place
at two o'clock, half a mile from town. All
that evening and the next morning felt
like fish out of the water. When l awoke
in the middle Of the night, thought to my
self, what are now the sensations of the de-
serter aud again, after my mornings sleep
j put the same question. l rose early, us
usual, took coffee, rode out, returned to
read, and tried 10 write and study; but
neither by coffee, nor riding, could l get
rid Of my Thoughts about the deserter: and
ever and anon was pulling out my watch
to count the hours he had to live. At the
time appointed, joined Capt. Lagondie,
and we set out on foot to the spot Of this
real tragedy. Troops Of cavalry cane down
from the Kasbah, with trumpets blowing
ms gaily as ifit had been military triumph
mud regiment of infantry marched beside
us out of the city gate. We pessed the
prison where the victim was confined, and
Lagondie pointed out to me the grated win
dow Of his apartment, through which he
was listening to the last music he was ever
to hear in this world.
Shortly we reached the ground where his
fate was to be enacted. We took our stand
on tho top of the lime-rocks, while the troops
one thousand 10 number, sformed three
:ourths Of a square on the plain beneath.
Al last, from the prison gate came forth
company-their drums mufiied with Grape
and the victim in the centre on foot fol-
lowed BY the horse and cart which was to
sarry back his dead body. He was quite
