TENDER EXPRESSIONS.
Some OF the references to his family and
childhood are fine instances OF tender ex-
preston. For instance: "As to my mother,
assert with pride that she could serve as
model to all mothers, and with this |
think have said all. Her tenderness for
me was perhaps excessive, but do not
owe to her, to her angelic character, the
little good that may be found in nine
Oh, although certainly not su-
perstitious, not rarely in the arduous mo-
ments of my agitated existence, when es-
capped from a storm at sea or from the
grdpeshot OF battle, have seen before me
the kneeling figure OF my loving mother,
bending before the Infinite TO implore the
life of the child OF her bosom; and |, al
though believing little in the power OF
prayer, was moved and happy, at least
less unhappy"
Garibaldi was born at Nice on the 4th
Of July, 1907, day which Americans
may think appropriate to his patriotic
and independent life.
TENDER HEARTED.
He remarks of himself that he had a
kind heart, and to prove 1t says: Having
one day found grasshopper and brought
it home broke a leg Of the poor creature
in handling it, which grieved me so much
that shut myself up in my room and
wept for several hours. Another time,
accompanying cousin OF mine to shoot in
the Varo, stopped at the edge OF deep
pond where they used 10 leave hemp to
soak and where there was poor woman
washing some clothes. / don't know how
il was, but the woman fell into the water
head foremost and was in danger OF being
drowned. |, although | was very little
and encountered with my game bag,
plunged in and was able TO save her."
OF course, Garibaldi must fall in love,
and he is not above this naive utterance:
81 had never thought Of marriage, and l
thought myself unsuited for II, because OF
my too Independent nature and propen-
sity toward an adventurous career. To
have wife and children seemed 10 me an
entire contradiction in one who had con-
secratcd himself to principle which, how
ever excellent, would not permit me, while
indicating il with all the ardor Of which |
felt myself capable, to enjoy thequiet and
stability necessary for the father Of a fam.
lily destiny; decided otherwise. / had
need OF some human being who would
love me. Without such q one near me
existence was becoming insupportable.
Although not old, knew men well enough
TO know how difficult IL is TO find a real
friend. But woman, yes, woman, ioi
| had always considered them the mosi
perfect OF beings, and whatever men may
say, II is infinitely easy to find a really
loving heart among them.
DISCOVERED HIS WIPE.
81 was walking on the quarterback
Of the Itaporica, wrapped in my sad
thoughts, and having reasoned the matter
in all ways, finally concluded 10 seek q
wife for myself who would draw me ou'
Of this depressing and insupportable state
Of things, when my glance fell by chanc,
upon the houses OF the Cara, a little bill

gaze fell was the one who had caused
my coming on shore. II was Anita, thu
mother OF my children, the companion o
