whose horse reared and fell. All seemed to be
over with him, when Gourgaud, squirting his
horse between Napoleon and the Cossack, dex-
terously raised the arm of the latter, while he
lodged ball in hnsch The Cossack staggered
back, his spear falling harmless on the saddle
of Napoleon's horse, and he was saved by this
timely rescue. 1t was then that Napoleon
throwing himself into the arms OF his aid-de-
camp, Gourgaud, gave to him that sword, so
dear to his earliest memories when he won the
battles of Italy, and when he was only General
Bonaparte.
That sword so nobly won, Gourgaud had by
his side when he fell in the fatal battle of Wat
erloo. l.. X. DEvELLEY.

The efforts vain--we cant rehearse
The evils of this whitening curse;
Enough for us--that we can feel
It's baneful influence round us steal:
Its fatal simoomi fans our brow;
Presaging sorrow, death and woe.
II tells of blood, of signs and tears,
OF blighted hopes and anxious fears.
Go ask the culprt in his cell,
What doomed him there, in chains to dwell
What nerved his heart, what made him strong,
And babe him do the tempting wrong!
His languid eyes-his wasted frame,
And saddened brow will loud proclaim
That Strong Drink, with its secret charm
Sustained his soul-made firm his arm.
Go ask that child, whose once loved home,
Has now become the drunkard's home,
WHY falls the tear-drop from his eye?
Why breathes he thus the deep drawn sigh ?
For sure his heart hath not yet learned
Of cold neglected. cruel scorn:
Intemperance hath his parent spoiled,
All this is why he's sorrows child.
Go ask that mother bent with years,
Why mourns she thus-Ah, why those tears
Why pleads she oft at mercy's throne
For pardon on an erring one?
Because the wine cups ruddy glow
Hath poisoned all her joys below
Her child's drunkard-this is why,
The tear of sadness dims her eye.
Ask of disease, of suffering, sin,
What their dark source, and whence they
sprang?
OF fortune sauandered-talent crushed
OF every finer feeling hushed?
What silent power hath been the cause
Of their exstence-these sad woes?
All, all will answer-sparkling wine
Hath thus deranged the once sane mind.
And must intemperance still increase?
Oh must its progress never cease?
Must talent, wealth and influence be
Subservient to such misery
Is there no power can stay its hand,
And bid it curse no more our land;
Can wipe the tear from sorrows cheek
And bid us hope and mercy seek!
All yes, be temperate, ask of Heaven
That this dark sin may be forgiven.
Resist temptation, shun thou wrong,
Go sign the pledge-and be thou strong.
Oh then will sorrow flee away
The prison walls will then decay,
And life itself be pure and bright;
Thus Heaven at last the wrong will right

"Death is without pity" Hardly had the
earth been cold on the remains of the lamen-
ted Marshal Excelmans, ere another glory of the
Empire has departed. Gaspard Gourgaud was
born at Versailles on the l4tb of September,
1883. at the most brilliant period of the whole
career of his paternal uncle, at whose home he
was raised. Henri Gourgaud was well known
in the annals of the good old French school un-
der the fictitious name Of Dugaaon.
The different schools of Paris, Chartres and
Metz, witnessed his youthful but ardent tenn
permanent In 1901, he entered as private
soldier, the Saith artillery; in 1903 he was pro-
noted aid-de-camp to Gen. Foucher, at which
post he distinguished himself for his bravery.
The records of the Empire were succeeding
each other rapidly and with magic effect at Ia
Dor, at Austerlitz, Jena, Friedland, at Esslin-
gen, and particularly at Wagram,-that Arbela
of the New Alexander. Here Gourgaud show
ed a courage and understanding which gained
for him the honor Of being made the officer
of Ordnance, by the Emperor, although he was
yet very young. In that station he attended
Napoleon in Holland; from thence he was
sent back to the western coast of France, to
put in state of defence the island of Rhe,
Deu and Oleron, which was ascertained as the
places of landing of the English forces from
across the channel Every plan of that ma
ton was thwarted by the superior tactics of
young Gourgaud, and the coast put under such
a formidable state Of defence as to defy any
future attack. AT Dresden, Ostrowna, at Smol-
ensk, he with the best of our army contributed
to the success of that terribly fought battle of
Moscow, where France made such an opening
into Russia. There too with less show perhaps,
but with more greatness of mind took place
that episode of history which rendered him a ia.
vorite with Napoleon and the army Napoleon
thought himself master of the Kremn and the
worlds future was in prospect, his own; but
destiny, not the force o: skill of the enemy was
to reach the fruits of victory and the spoils OF
conquest. In his despair, the Russian General
Rostopschin with the help of his Cossacks, pla-
ces 300 lbs. of powder beneath the walls Of
the Kremlin and adjacent buildings, destined to
explode and annihiate the military house,-the
staff, the guard of the Emperor and the officers
of the grand army. The FIRE is ready; the torch
is lighted when Gourgaud, without calculating
the danger, dashed headlong into the unknown
depths of the Kremlin, and by grand effort
saved from total ruin his Emperor and his broth.
ers in arms. 1t was one of those happy fatali-
ties which is so often the result of devotedness.
Later, at Brenne, in the battle of the Goth of
January, 1914, lost in reflections of past victo.
tories over his enemies, the emperor got separ-
ated from his staff by battalion of Cossacks
who pressed him previously and at the moment
of his greatest peril, one of those rude soldiers
pushing at him, passed to his right, and throw
ing hors de combat, the few followers of Napo-
leon, thrust his lance boldly at the Emperor
