The LITTLE DRUMMER.
OR,
The Price of Military GLORY
A FRENCH STORY.

The scene Of our story was in Prus-
STA, in the month of February, 1907.
The weather was very severe. Napo-
leon was expecting the attack which
took place on the eighth Of the same
month on the part of the Russian ar
my. The night before, the emperor
himself, after drawing his plan of the
battle on snow, awoke the aid-de-camp,
who was asleep on bundle ofhay, and
shaking his arm, said
< Come, Savary, every one is up;
let US go the rounds
Whilst Sayary went to summon the
officers, whose duty it was to accom-
pany Napoleon, the latter looked round
to inspect the weather. It was colder
than the previous day had been, bat the
moon shone with magniicence.
Alta short distance stood an OLD sell
elier lazily smoking his pipe.
1t is a cold morning!' cried Napo-
leon.
Eyes, Sire; it was certainly much
warmer yesterday replied the grena-
.dier, abiding to an engagement which
had taken place the day before Between
the troops of Marshal Devoust and a
Russian division.
Bah! bahn replied Napoleon, smi.
ling, 'that is an idea of your own
'And what famous idea of your
own was that, sire, bring the Russians
into that icy hole, and then warm them
with discharge of artillery
You think gave them lessonn
a grand lesson! Yes, sire, in French
=politeness which they will not soon for

Sire observed savary who had
Just appeared, 'this soldier speaks the
truth. Never did your majesty appear
so much inspired. Never did the brave
army exhibit more ardor and confidence
of success
-ssThey wished for war; replied the
emperor, and | have given them large
dose of it, but we must do it boldly,
and try to spare our soldiers blood
Do you not think SOP turning to the
grenadier.)
Undoubtedly, sire. Bat there is a
saying, that one cannot make an ONE
let without breaking the eggs
At these words, Napoleon, who had
been standing for some moments with
one foot in the stirrup, leaped upon his
horse, and making little sign with his
hand to the grenadier, galloped away,
followed by several officers.
Arrived at the head of the 4th regi-
rnent Of infantry, in which he had been
captain fifteen years before, the empe-
ror observed little drummer of about
twelve years old. He alighted, and
putting his hand kindly under the little
: fellows chin, asked
How old are you, my boy?'
Nearly twelve, sire, and his little
heart beat violently.
rThey have done wrong to bring
you here. They should have waited
three or four years.
