Rominisoenoe Of Napo,,on. ).

In1sl0-that memorable year when
fRome, Amsterdam, Dantzic, Antwerp and
Paris were cities Of the same proud empire
Napoleon hadbrought his young bride
to Brussels, and was received with great
enthusiasm and pomp. On the morning
after his arrival, he reviewed The troops Of
the garrison in the Alice Verte, and as the
different regiments defiled before him, re-
marked grenadier, who bore. the chev-
rons ofa sergeant major. TaiK and erect,
his black eyes blazed, like stars, from a
face bronzed by twenty campaigns, while an
enormous moustache rendered his appear
ance still more formidable, or Jizarie.-
When the line was reformed, the Emper-
or rode up to the regiment Of grcnadicrs,
ond called the sergeant to the front. The
heart Of the old soldier beat high ,'and his
checks glowed.
II have seen you before" said Napo,
leon "your name 2"
"Noel, sire" lie answered with faltcr-
ing voice. -.
"Were you not in tho army of Italy 2"
Eyes. sire; drummer at the Bridge Of
Arcole."
"At Marengo, sirc.''
"But since 2"
81 have taken my share ofall the great
battles?''
The Emperor waved his hand, the grea-
adler returned to the ranks, and ,INapo,
leon spoke rapidly to the colonel for few
momcnts-tlle quick glances of his eye to-
wards Noel showing that he was talking of
him. lie had been distinguished for lis
bravery in several battles, but his modesty
had prevented his soliciting advancement,
and lie had been overlooked in the promo
tons. The Emperor recalled him 10 his
side.
"You have mcritel the Cross Of the Le-
gion Of Homo" Said he, giving him the
one lie worc.-"Io OH arc brave man."
The grcnadier, who at this moment stood
between the Emperor and the Colonel, could
not speak /; b6tsfs eyes said more than
volumes. Napoleon made sign. the
drums beat rob, there was dead silence
and the colonel towards the new night,
who with trembling hands was'placinS his
cross upon his breast, said in loud voice
"In tla name ofthc Emperor, respect Ser,
geant Major Noel as snb-lieutenant in your
ranks"
A'S 'SSo'"S"s P'SoSHeSN' i'oS
seemed in dream and only the stern
immovable features of the Emperor proven
ted him from failing on his kuccs. An
other sign was made, the drums beat, aud
ngaia the colouel spoke:
'In the name OF the Emperor, respect
Sub-Lieut. Noel rs lieutenant in YOU,
ranks.
This new Anunder stroke nearly over
came the grcna'lier his knees trembied
his eyer that had OF been moist for twcn
ty pears, were filled with tears, and he was
yainly endeavering TO stammer his thanks
when lehcard third roll of the drums
Rsd the loud voice of his colonel
"Inthe name Of the Emperor, respect
Noel as captsin in your ranks"
After this promotiS9 the Emperor con,
tinucd his review with that calm, majestic
air, which noue who ever bcheld forgot
not Noel, bursting into flood Of tears
tainted in the arms Of the colonel while
from tie regiment came n loud, united
shout Of Vire Emperuer.
