Napoleon used 20 say, "That of all the
orders that had ever been created, either
in ancient or in modern times, there Is not
one which has been OF such advantage TO
its founders rs the Legion of Honor. I
is my handiwork and my master piece.
No one. either now, or in future days.
can dispute my right TO the glory OF
founding it. / am indebted TO il for
more than half of my Victories"
Napoleon stated what was perfectly
truth. The hope Of obtaining the cross
has been the parent Of incredible acts Of
valor, many Of which are unknown 20 the
world. Here is one among others, a
chef d eseradon he used TO take particular
delight in relating.
In the course Of the night preceding
the battle Of Austerlitz. one of his brigaS
diers wagered his watch with one Of his
comrades that he would gain the Cross
Of Honor the following day. In fact in q
brilliant charge against very superior
force he penetrated the enemy's squad.
ron, killed Eve men with his own hand
and carried off standard. He was COW
cred with blood, especially his face. the
only visible part Of which was his eyes.
AS he was returning TO his regiment, the
Emperor met him aud said :
You have done enough for one, my
friend, go and get your wounds dressed. !"
The brigadier, wiping his face with tho
flag he had captured, replied to the Ems
peror
81 am not wounded, Sir. 1tis not my
blood you see. but that Of your enemies" !"
Napoleon delighted at this answer,
al make you marchal des logis. (quar.
ter master. and confer on you the Gross
of Honor"
The most singular circumstances Of this
affair is, that the moment when the brig.
adler was thus recompensed. his comrads
with whom he had wagered his watch
arrived wounded by pistol shot, which
had been fred at him by a general Off
Ger. whom he brought as prisoner q
the Emperor.
"Another Gross Of Honor" said Ma.
poleon, "if things go on in this way.
shall either have to suppress the Order,
or decorate the whole army"

Ess The Gray Mare Is the Better Horse.'s
The application of this proyerb is we'll
known, bur not so well the story on VI hicls
ir is founded. A gentleman who had
seen the world. one day gave his eldest
SON a span Of horses, 4 chariot. and q
basket OF eggs. Do yon.' said he To-
the boy, :. travel upon the high road nn-

there is married couple. f you hnd

him one of the horses. II. on the coa-
|trary, the wife IS the ruler. give her an
egg. Return at once IL you part with
horse, but do not come back so long as
you keep both horses, and there is aa,
egg remaining"
Away went the boy full of his mission.
and, Just beyond the borders of his faith
er's estate, 10 | modest cottage. He
Ialighted from his chariot and knocked at
Che door. The good wife opened il for
him and curtsied. g lis your husband NJ

gray mare will suit us best "No."
replied John, the bay for me he is
more square in front. and his legs are
better. "Now." said the wife. " don't
think so; the gray mare is the better
horse; aud shall never be contented un-
til get that one." {" Well," said John.
T" if your mind is set on it, I'll give up:
we'll take the gray mare" I" Thank
you." said the boy: allow me to give you
an egg from this busket; it is nice fresh
one, and You can boil it hard or soft, rs
your wife will allow" The rest Of the
story you may imagine; the young msn
came home with both horses. but not an
egg in his basket.
