A Cup of Cold Water.

Many long years ago young Eng
lish woman was sent to France to be
educated in a Huguenot school in
Paris. A few evenings before the
fatal Massacre of st. Bartholomew
Day, she and some of her young COM
panions were taking walk in part
Of the town where there were senti.
nels placed-and you know that when
soldier is on guard he must not
leave his post until relieved-that is,
until another soldier comes to take
his place. One Of the soldiers, as the
young ladies passed him, besought
them to have the kindness to bring
him some water to drink, adding that
he was very ill, and it would be as
much as his life was worth to 60 and
fetch it himself. The ladies walked
on, much offended at the man for
presuming to speak to them-all but
the young English women, whose
compassion was excited, and who, at
once leaving her party, secured some
water and brought it to the soldier.
He begged her to tell him her name
and place of abode, which she did.
When she rejoined her companions,
some blamed and others ridiculed her
attentions to common soldier; but
they soon had reason to lament that
they had not been as compassionate;
for the grateful soldier contrived, on
the night of the massacre, to save
this young English woman, while all
the rest of the inhabitants of the
house in which she dwelt were killed.
