which select one now little known. At
one Of those receptions. which took place
wherever the national guest appeared. a
veteran OF the revolution. in Ills CONT

salute, which Lafayette returned at once
with affection. tears starting 10 his ewes.
for he remembered well that uniform
and saw that an old soldier, more yene-
able than himself in years. stood before
him. do You know mr?" said The
soldier for the manner OF the General
persuaded him that he was personally
remembered, although nearly filly wears

Indeed. l cannot remember YOU" the
General replied frankly. DO YOU re-
