Ono of Dumas,s Stories Retold.

In the last days of the French revolution,
but when the civil war in La Vendee and
Bretagne was still going on, young En-
glishman who was serving In the royalist
ranks happened to be present at q military
ball given by some Of the Vendean leaders
in honor OF n recent victory over the
"blucs,n Republican soldiers.) On enter
ing the ball room he was struck with the ap-
pearance Of a very handsome youngVendean
officer near the door, to whom he begged to
be presented. This was done forthwith, his
introducer saying to him In an undertone,
"Look well Mt NJ. de RS vest and panta-
looms" The Englishman did so without
being much enlightened thereby, the mys-
terious garments being only remarkable
for their hue-a light cream color and two
small red spots on one side Of the vest.
"Monsieur is criticising my dress, | see,"
observed the Frenchman "would he care
TO hear its historyf" "There is nothing
that should like better,n answered the
Englisman, already suspecting from the
speakers look and the sinister emphasis of
his tone that the history In question must
be one of no common interest. "You must
know, them" rejoined the Vendean, "that
/ had an only brother, a year younger
than myself, to whom l was devotedly
during the campaign of 1792, and had
heard nothing Of him for some weeks,
when one day l found in a village from
which we had just driven the Blues dead
man tied to tree with a paper on his
breast inscribed: This rebel has been shot
by order Of Claude Flageolet, captain in
the seventh regiment Of light infantry
ltwas my brother. Two bullets had pierced
his heart, the marks of which (pointing to
the two mysterious red spots on his vest)
have taken care to preserve, as you see."
"Good heavensn cried the Englishman'
starting back as If he had trodden ON u
viper, "do you mean to tell me that this
vest is made Of your brothers. skin ?"
Precisely so," answered the bereaved
brother, with admirable composure.
"And the-pantaloonsY faltered the
horor-stricken Briton.
"Ah, the pantaloons are another matter.
They're made Of the skin Of Claude Flage-
olet, captain in the 7th regiment Of light
infantry"

drowned or hurt by the accident, but IL was
a serious matter to many Of the occupants
Of the boat who lost their havcrsacks,
clothing, blankets, &c.
The people In the little village on the bank,
who had witnessed the attempt at crossing,
(it was our fault for we had overloaded tue
boat), did all they could to help us, and the
first cup Of real coffee had had for year
was given me by young lady (God bless
