An old major with fine German

it is now time.
After saying this, he turned his back
to him and withdrew Into an adjacent
hall, whittier he was soon followed by
his companions, svho, by their thonght-
less shouts of laughter, coveredsshis
reproaches. Seated around the gssHi
table, they began to play. The ySufig

Our braggart who during this dis
course, had risen to his feet, and had
alternately become red and pale, gave
no response, but bow of acquiescencc
in the fear, no doubt, that the emotion
of his voice would betray his complete
terror. The captain saluted the rest of
the company, and Immediately left the
house.
With him went all the gayety Of the
Lieutenant. He became thoughtful,
and taciturn--his spirit was no more
with the play-he lostall he had before
won.
The thoughts of o-morrow-that
terrible to-morrow-frightened him.
How much his adversary would have
the advantage over him.
