Weinsberg, i'll Germany, I saw DR..
Justinius Koerer aud Albert Truitzius,
his most fervent disciple they furnish
ed me with most appalling facts. But
I have st. Thomas faith I should like
too see and to touch"
Il, NY dear Edward, have seen, !"
said the general in hollow voice.
The valiant officer. the grave gener-
al, who made this strange statement to
NJ. Banis, was still a young man he
was scarcely thirty eight years of age
His fine and noble figure received a
kind Of melancholy grace from the
sorrowful sweetness Of his large blue
ev es, which tempered the roughness of
his sunbnrnt countenance, and OF his
large blonde moustache, sufficiently
abundant to conceal his upper lip,
His hair was short but silky, his teeth
white and Well set and his large in
telIectual forehead bespoke a deep
thinker.
The surgeon, who cold, methodi-
cal man, but one deeply versed i'll sci
ence, received this singular avowal of
the general with some establishment
and great deal of curiosity. Were a
man thousand times physician and
skeptic, the marvellous has even for
him powerful charm from which he
cannot escape.
Vergamier pat his horse into trot,
and was silent for some time; his
friend respected his reverie for awhile !:
then giving way to curiosity which
he could not control, and which his
long friendship with the general he
said
1--WE have long journey before us,
and the road is getting rugged, we
must necessarily proceed more slowly.
Pray relate to me, general, the circum
stance to which you have alluded just
now. This is an hour favorable to ghost
stories"
"What would be the use? You
hardly believe me.
Il believe in every sensation. But if
you would allow me, L should like to
discuss the principle OF yours with yon.
"Ycu are about to carry the scalpel
of physiology into the deepest recesses
of my heart. Still, though it costs me
much, l will accede to your desire.
But I implore you will not laugh at me
All that / am about to tell you is seri-

The general remained wrapt in
thought for several minutes, and the
expression o his face showed that the
recital he was abont to make, was, to
him, one of very painful character.
Having taken time to collect his
thoughts, he began his relation.
Il left Saint Cyr,' he said, at twenty
years of age, at the same time as my best
friend, George de Maurel He was
charming young man, fair, thin, pale,
as pensive as poet, but as strong a
Kablye and as brave as lion. We
had been friends from our earliest
youth ; we had but one purse, and the
quarrels of the one were those of the
other. We sincerely liked one another
and we regretted acutely that entry
into the service must separate rs. We
were, however, more fortunate than we
expected we should be-we met again
at the taking of the emperor's fort
We were both sub-lieutenants, both
full of hope for the future.
