A North German paper receives
directly from a relative Of the young
Hanoverian officer in question Ahe
following touching recital: The COM
pany to which the young officer be-
fonged captured twenty-five Franc
Tircurs, and, upon inquiring at head
quarters as to their disposal, received
orders that they be shot. The duty
devolved upon him. The young man,
though no coward, hesitated in the
execution Of such a terrible duty, but,
in order not to appear too weak, he
depressed his feelings, and had them
conducted to q neighbOring wood,
where, upon q little elevation, they
were to meet their fate. Among them
was a youth of hardly eighteen years,
with a gentle and almost maiden-like
face, in which culture was plainly TO
be traced. This poor unfortunate had
not the courage to die. He trembled
visibly in all his body, and a stream
of tears coursed down his deathly pale
cheeks. Suddenly fear seized him in
a terrible way, and before the guard
could prevent him he had thrown
himself at the feet Of the German Off
Ger, and cOnvulsively clasped his
knees, and begged in mutterable woe
for his life. Fear gave him most
touching Words of prayer, he besOught
the deeply grieved officer by his own
parents not to rob his or their only
son. 1t would have moved a stone
The heart of the young German swan
in tears; still, he dared not disObey
his military duty. 1t was the mOsI
fearful moment Of his life. The youth
was led back to the fatal spot, and in
another moment his misery was at an
end-the balls had riddled his heart
The feeling Of pity, however, 50 over

he fell into a swOOn. He awoke

PRETTY INCIDENT.

We heard a pretty little incident,
the other day, which We cannot help
relating: A young lady from the
South, il appears, was wOOed and won
by q physician living in California
When the engagement was made, the
doctor wa Itch, having been very sue
cessful' san Francisco. 1t had not
existed six months, however, when,
by unfortunate investment, he lost
his entire "heap.n This event came
upon him, it should be added, just as
he was making ready to claim his
bride. What does he do? Why, Ike
an honest chivalrous young fellow as
he is, he sits down and writes the
young lady every particular OF the
unhappy turn which had taken place
in his fortunes, assuring her that, if
the fact produced any change in her
feelings toward him, she was released
from every promise she had made to
him. And what does the dear, gOOd
girl do? Why, she takes a lump Of
pure gold, which her lover had sent
her when in prosperity, as a keepsake,
and, having il manufactured Into a
ring, forwarded it to him, with the
following Bible inscription engraved
distinctly on the inside:
"Entreat me not to leave thee OF to
return from following after thee; for
whittier thou gOest, 1 will go F; and
and whittier thou lodgest, will 1 lodge;
| thy people shall be my people, and
thy God my God; where thou diest
will 1 die, and there will I be buried
the Lord do 80 to me, and more also,
il aught but death part thee and me. y
The lover idOlized his sweetheart
more than ever, after he received this
precious evidence Of her devotion "a
him, both in storm and sunshine.
We may add that fortune soon again
smiled upon the young physician and
that he subsequently returned to the
North, to wed the sweet girl he loved,
and who loved him with such an un-
dying affection. Nay, more, the hap
py bride and groom passed our city
not long since, on their way to the
home of the latter, in the Golden
State. Reader, this is all true young
| ladies who read the Bible as closely
as the heroine of our incident seems
to have done. are pretty sure to make
good s~weethearts and better wives

SantaCIsns.

The history Of Santa Claus-a cur
ious mixture Of truth and fable goes
far back into the ancient time. Gen.
turtles ago a child was born in Asia
Minor who received the name OF
Nicholas. His parents We're wealthy
and Of high rank and desiring to ex-
press their gratitude to God for the
birth Of their son, they resolved to
educate him for the Christian priest
hood. The child was sober and
thoughtful, and while yet young,
both his parents died, and he inheri-
ted their great wealth. He cOnsid-
cred the riches a sacred trust he fed
the hungry, he clothed the destitute,
and performed all kinds Of good deeds
as secretly as possible. As n priest he
was greatly beloved as a bishop he
continued his benevolence; after his
death the Church canOniZed him; and
he became one OF the greatest patron
saints. He was revered as the helper
