How a Soldier Ran Away to Sea.

One hundred and nine years ago. in
the month Of February, 1777, French
guardsman ran away to sea-
And most singular running away II
was. He did not wish to he a sailor.
but he was so anxious to go that he
bought ship to run away in,-for he
was very wealthy Young man; and
though he was only 10, he held COM
mission as Major General in the armies
OF a land 5000 miles away-a land he
mad never seen and the language of
which he could not speak. The King
OF France commanded him to remain at
home: his friends and relatives tried to
restrain him; and even the representa-
tlves, or agents, of the country in de-
tense OF which he desired to fight would
not encourage his purpose. And when
the young man, While dining at the
house ct the British Ambassador TO
France, openly avowed his sympathy
with downtlodden people, and his de-
termination to help them gain their
freedom, the Ambassador acted quickly.
AT his request, the rash young en-
thuslast was arrested by the French
IoVernment, and orders were given to
seize his ship, which was awaiting him
at bordeaux. But the ship and owner
both slipped away, and, sailing from
the port OF Pasajes in Spain, the run-
away with eleven chosen companions,
was soon on the sea, bound for America
ana beyond the reach of both friends
On April 25, 1777, he landed at the
little port of Georgetown, at the mouth
OF the Great Pee Dee River in South
Carolina; and from that day forward
