the pearl needs no cunning device oi

Since the discovery of pearls by the
ancients, scores OF centuries ago, human
life has been Tecklessly hazaIded, aud
often lost, in gaining possession o
these jewels of the sea, and still the

on the Pyrennees, that Great Captain"

Geueral Pic on had made for receiving
the assault of Marshal Soult, who men,
aced him in front, ordered the plan to be
entirely changed. But the difficulty was
to delay the attack of the French until
the change could be effected. This the
"Iron Duke" accomplished in person,
in the following manner: Doffing his
cooked het and waving 1t in the air, he
rode furiously to the heal OF a regiment,
as if about to order charge. There.
upon arose tremendous cheer from the
men, which was taken up by corps after
corps until it reverberated along the
whole extent of Picton's line. As the
roar died away, Wellington was heard
to remark musingly, as il addressing
himself, "Soult is u skilltul but cautious
commander, and will not attack in force
until be has ascertained the meaning ol
these cheers. This will give time fol
the sixth division to come up. aud We
shall beat him." It turned out as he
anticipated. Soult, naturally enough,
suppt sed those tremendous shonts an
nounced the arrival of large reinforce
ments, and did not attack until too late
Had he struck at the right moment HI
would have won an easy victory as il
