a drunkard, feeds him upon rum,
and exhibits him at the customs, that
his emaciated appearance may shame
his people from making beasts OF

THE
the SOLDIERS VOW.
A TRUE TALE.

One beautiful Indian summer day, in
the autumn of 1914, stranger appeared
in the streets of Hanover,s New Hamp-
shire, whose garb bespoke the utmost
poverty and restitution. As he stagger
ed along, he was surrounded by crowd
of village boys, who amused themselves
by insulting him with coarse .jests, and
personal indignities. He bore their
abuse with exemplary patience, and beg
ged them wait till he felt little better
and he would sing them fine song. His
voice was thick with unnatural excess,
and he was too weak to protect himself
from the rude 5jostling of the crowd ; yet
he smiled on his tormenters, and exhibit
ed no other sense of mis- helpless and for
lorn condition, than look of grief and
shame which, despite his efforts and smiles
would occasionally overspread his counte-
nance. Late in the afternoon, the writer
then student, passed him in company
with friend, when our attention was ar
rested by voice Of unusual power and
beauty, singing that favorite national
song of France, La Parisienne." AS he
proceeded, a great number of students
from the college gathered around him. and
at the conclusion an involuntary express
sion Of delight broke from the entire mass.
He was enthusiastically encored, and af
forwards the Marsellaise was called for.
Tie same rich, clear voice rang out that
wild melody in the very words which are
wont to arouse the spirit Of the French
soldier TO frenzy. The aMmirafi0n OF the
poor inebrlate's auditory was now raised
to the highest pitch. Despite his tattered
and filthy garments, his squalid beard and
brimless hat, now that the fumes of liquor
had subsidized, his form appeared symmetri-
cal and manly, and his face, glowing with
the sentiments of the patriotic song, and
flushed with excitement at the unexpected
praise he was winning, assumed an ex-
preston of intelligence and joy that beau
tifully set off his really fine features
" What, and who is the stranger 2" was
the universal inquiry. His singing is
Incompatible. and his French and English
are both faultless." ayes" said he, drop
ping his eyes, and can give you Ger
man, or Spanish, or Italian as we'll, or
Latin or Greek either" he added careless
ly. In reply to the many questions that
were showered upon him with the coin he
so much seemed to need, he at length
said, in sad tone, and slowly endeavor-
ing to push his way through the crowd,
=" Gentlemen, | am poor yagabond en-
tirely unworthy your kind sympathy
Leave me to my rags and wretchedness,
and | will go on my way" But our curl
osity was too much excited to allow this,
and amid loud cheers we escorted him to
room, where he was furnished with wa
ter and an entire suit of clothes, the bar
ber's art was put in requisition, and after
an incredible short time, he re-appeared
upon the college steps, smiling and bowling
gracefully, man Of as fine appearance
and noble bearing as ever eyes beheld.-
The delight of the crowd at this transfer.
nation was intense, and repeated shouts
rent the air. "Giye US La Parisienne," "
