An Oid SO2dier's Stery.

On bright September day ia the year 1911 ths inhabitants of Dautzig, more especially the fashionable part, were Tn 6 state of great ex- citemsnt. and early in the morning all the win dows in the bousss on the Laugsnuarkt were occupied by spectators, principally ladies, up t, the garrets. The reason of this exc,emen, was very remarkable French officer belong ing to the garrison, and knight of the Legol of Honor. was about to be publicly branded ai thief in the preselce of the troops.
 Inc unhappy gentleman was universally popular. No party, either civil or military was arranged without his advice, aud the fash ionable routes were hopeless without his pres snce. h the public carnival procession he distributed the characters among the mem bel s of the garrison, and everybody willingly fol- lowed his arrangements. To this must be add. ed that he spoke German auently, sang merry songs to tho guitar, played various tricks to amuse the company, danced gracefully, and frequently took part in the sports of the chil dren. He was handsome man of some forty years of age. and had acquired the respect of the higher classes by always behaving in a very quiet way in company, and never appearing where he was not invited.
 Captain Alswanger had been lodging fc, some time with dealer ia fancy goods. whose business had greatly fallen of, and, so to speak had gone out of fashion. Hence the proprietor had no assistant, but in his sales often request cd the captain to act as his interpreter. After while, some inhabitants having com plained about having troops quartered on them change took place. and the captain was or dered to remove to other lodgings, flor whicl both his landlord and his family were very sor ry. They took leave of their friend with tear in their eyes.

bond life, described in lively colors. A care. ful list was drawn up in the presence of the landlord, and the ready money and papers were removed.
 The Emperor received detailed report of the affair, with the documents to substantiate it, and the future punishment of the prisoner was left to him.
 At the same time the widow Alswanger, at Rome, was informed of the occurrence. She answered few weeks later, that at the first sight of the young man she had been agreed bly surprised, for she fancied her son stouter than he had been two years before but for all that, slight suspicion was aroused in her, because his restless movements and almost timid glance did not agree with her sons friendly manner and almost childish behaviour. especially towards herself. When she called her husbands attention to this striking change, he expressed his opinion that it was produced by the merry life in a garrison town. Her doubts were heightened by the letters she re- SSA'~3! "uiSu oAO oOAlOWluALJ iulcScN HUI sons former afectionate remarks. She felt truly grateful for the information, which cer- tainly had wrung her heart, but afforded her the consolation that her son had not acted in an unworthy manner, and she was glad that her mothers eye had not deceived her. Several months after, an order arrived from the Emperor, by which he approved of the treatment of the captain, acquitted Diderici of the suspicion of murderiug Lieutenant As wanger, but for the appropriation of a strange name, by which he had deceived and defraud- ed the Alswanger family, he was to be brand- ed as thief between the shoulders, temporl- rily conducted to the fortress of Weichsel- mundc, and on the first favorable opportunity be sent tu Brest to pass the rest of his life at the galIeys. The unfortunate man heard the sentence with indifference.
 At the execution of it, the heart tbreaking scenes of the degradation were repeated in an even increased degree there was regular shower of filled purses and bouquets upon the scaffold, the former of which the auditor ap- proprated after the execution of the sentence, while the culprit concealed the flowers under his jacket while gracefully bowlng around.

X At the close of ths volume we find an ole farorits sf our own, the quaint imp ovenen of the poem on Smoking Tobacco, in whicl we may give our readers relish of the author sense, not without some intimations of his the ology. All clerical and other thoughtful med itative smokers admire this poem. the seeont part of which was written by Mr. Erskine:
 SMOKING sPIRITUALIZED.

 PARTI. This Iadiaa weed, now wilhsr'd quite, Though green at noon, GU, down at night,
 Shows tky dsssy;
 All flesh is hay,
 Thus think, and smoke tobacco. The pipe, 50 lily-liks and weak, Dsss thus thy mortal state bsspsak, Thou art sv'n such,
 Gone with touch
 Thus thiak, and smoke tobacco. And vixen the smsks assends on high, Then thsu behold'st the vanity
 Of worldly stuff,
 Gone with puff.
 Thus think, and smoke tobacco. And when the pipe grows foul within, Think on thy soul, defl'd with sin;
 For then the fire
 It does require. Thus think, and smoke tobacco. And ssest the askes cast away; Tksn to tbysslf thou maysstssy,
 That to the dust,
 Return thou must,
 iAos thlnk, and smoke tobacco. .. PART H. Was this small plant for thee cut down? So was the Plant of great rsnoun;
 Which mercy sends
 For aobisr ends.

 Then what's ths por'r

 What virtue flows,
 From shsron's Rose.

Grants Late Movements.

From the Washington Correspondence of the
Chicago Times.
The country has been shamefully delu-
ded about the Weldon Railroad affair. In
the first place, the attack on the Confeder-
ates at that point was altogether an after
thought OF General Grant, and was not de-
signed at all when General Grant began his
movements a Deep Bottom, on the 14th
and 10Th. 1t was no! until after that move
meut had failed, on the 10th, that the idea
first occurred to him of making a demon
stration in that direction which should turn
public attention away from his glaring fail
ure at Deep Bottom. The orders for the
movement of Wauen'S corps to the south
of Petersburg were issued on the 18th inst,
and the movement was mad and the rail-
road seizsd on the 18th. Several engage
ments have since ensued, brought on by at =
tempts on the part of the Coufederates to
retake the ground thus occupied by War
rem. In the first one, on the 18th instant,
we lost 2 700 in prisoners alone. who were
marched off the field and into Petersburg ia
a solid body, and 1000 more men in killed
and wound ed. 10 this bloody engagement
General Warren ordered his batteries of ar
tillery to fire into his own men, and the
cruel order was obeyed.
The second attack on the Confede rates
was m ade on the 2lst. We suffered
verely on this occasion also. But by this
time the I'd corps had been withdrawn from
the north side of the James river, and by
Hancock's aid the enemy was repulsed:-
But the most severe attack was what is now
known as the battle of Ream's Station, on
the 25th. On this occasion we were driven
from great portion of the ground that
Warren had occupied, with loss Of 4,OOO
en- in killed and wounded, besides 16
pieces of artillery which were captured by
the enemy. Our loss Of valuable officers
in this engagement is very heavy. Up to
that time our total loss on the Weldon Rail
road had am ounted to over 10000 men
while Grants little affair at Deep Bottom
on the 18th. and 10Th, cost US 5000 more
making 5000 lives thrown away for moth
ing. For there is no doubt that these at
lacks on Warren's position will be repeated
until Grant is compelled to fall back his
original lines to the east of Petersburg -
His bull dog tenacity ESQ much admired but
which causes such frightful sacrifices of hu
man life) will keep him "pegsing away" at
hat place till he is reinforced in October by
he draft. And then more assaults, moro
;laug liter, and more defeats.
