lArrrs~rr~xss "a N.vsrsxsTaTssn sC.----4 $500
A young lad. but newly admitted into III.
military school in France, soon made him
self appear Of rather singular disposition
by his remarkable abstemiousness. What
every variation of diet was allowed, he ne.
yer ate any thing but bread and soup, and
drank nothing but water.
The Governor being informed of this
conduct, so very uncommon in boy, attri.
buted il to an indiscrect devotion, and re.
proved him for il. Nevertheless, the LAD
persisted, and the Governor mentioned the
circumstance TO Monsieur Paris Duyerney.
lie had the boy called before him, and
with his usual mildness and moderation
mentioned to him that such singularity was
by no means proper or allowable in pub
lie institution, and that he must certainly
conform TO the rules and diet established
there. lie afterwards unsuccessfully tried
to find out the rcason'that could induce the
boy to act in such manner, and at last
treatened to send him home to his family.
This menace had the desired effect, and he
then disclosed the motive Of his conduct.
You will not, hope, be displeased with
me, but ! could not bring myself to enjoy
what l consider luxury. while | reflect
that my dear mother and father are in the
utmost indulgence. They could afford
themselves and me no better food than the
coarsest bread and but very little of il.
Here have excellent soup. and as much
fine white bread as | would choose. I
looked upon this to be very good living.
and the recollection of the situation n
which | left my parents would not permit
me to indulge myself by eating anything
else.
Monsieur Duverney and the Governor
could not restrain their tears at such an
early instance Of fortitude and sensibiliy.
IL your father has been in the service.
said Nj. Duyerney, how comes il that he
got no pension!
For want Of friends and money, sir, re-
piled the youth. lie has been upwards
of year soliciting one; but his money and
resources failed: and rather than contract
debts at Versailles, he is content 10 Ian.
guish in the manner have told you.
We, said NJ. Duvemey, If the fact an.
pears to have been as you stated it, will en-
gage to procure your father pension of
five hundred l,vres. In the meantime, here
are three louis d'ors for yourself as pres.
ent from the King, and will advance
your father six months. pay out of the pen
sion | am certain of obtaining for him.
How can;you send the money TO him,
sir, asked the boy. /
Let that give you no uneasincss, repli- !

Ali, said the boy with precipitation, III
ron can do it SO easily, be pleased to send |
lim these louis d'ors you were so good as

hey would be Of the greatest service to
