Rewarded.

An exchange relates the following incident,
which occurred during general review Of the
Austrian Cavalry. some time ago: Not far
from 10000 cavalry were in line. A little child
"a sirl-of not more than four years, standing
in the front row of spectators either from fright
or some other cause. rushed out into the open
field just US the squadron OF hussars came sweep
ing around IRON the main body. They had made
the detour for the purpose Of saluting the Em.
press, whose carriage was drawn up in that part
of the parade ground. Down came the flying
squadron, charging at mad galop-down direct
IL upon the child. The mother was paralysed
as were Others for there could be no rescue from
the line OF spectators. The Empress uttered q
cry of horror. for the child's destruction seemed
iueyitabe--and such terrible destruction-the
trampling TO death by thousand iron hoofs.
Directly under the feet of the horses was the
little one-another instant must seal its doom
when stalwart hussar who was in the front line
without Stacking his speed or oosening his hold,
threw himself over by the side of his horses
neck. seized aud lifted the child and placed it in
safety upon his saddle-bow; and this he did
without changing his pace or breaking the cor
rect alignment OF the squadron. Ten thousand
voices hailed with rapturous applause the gallant
deed. and other thousands applauded when they
knew. Two women there were who could not
sob forth their gratitude in broken accents-the
mother and the Empress. And proud aud
happy moment must it have been for the hussar
when the Emperor, taking from his own breast
the richy-enameled Cross Of the Order Of Maria
Theresa, hung it upon the breast of his brave
