Ney.

Bravery of the old fashioned war
like sort, which had in it a good deal
of bravado, and may or may not have
included moral courage, was well ex.
emplifled in the French Marshal Ney,
the removal Of whose statue, in Paris,
has lately brought his name into new
prominence.
Seventy-seven years ago Ney was
shot by a file of soldiers in the garden
Of the Luxembourg, in Paris, after
having been convicted of betraying
the king by joining his fortunes TO Ma.
poleon's on his return from Elba Up.
on this very spot where he was exc.
cuted, a statue in his memory was
subsequently erected; and this statue
has now been removed to another
site, the land where it stood having
been taken for railway purposes.
When the charge under which Mar.
shall Ney was tried, was issued
against him, it was lett within his
power to fly from the country. This
he refused to do. The gendarmes
came to arrest him. Ney saw them
standing in his courtyard, and put up
his window.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"We are looking for Marshal Ney,'
said one of the men.
"Well, come upstairs and I will
show him to you"
The officers entered the dwelling
and assembled to the Marshal's room.
II am Michel Ney." he said. open
ing the door to them.
He was sentenced. by formal vote
of the House of Peers, to be shot.
When the announcement Of the SEN
tence was brought to him in the
Luxembourg prison he was asleep He
was Weakened, and the Secretary Of the
House of Peers began to read the SEN
tence. Very near the beginning of
the document came the list of Ney's
titles, bestowed upon him by the EN-
peror:
"You, therefore, Duke of Elchin-
gen, Prince of Moskowa, Grand Cor
don of the Legion of Honor, Grand
'Oh," exclaimed Ney, ''please skip
all that; just say Michel Ney and a
lot of rubbish"
Ney was the son of a handwriting
cooper. and had risen from the ranks
of the army. He was child of the
people. and whatever may have been
his vanities, he threw them them all
aside in his last days.
When he was led out to death, an
officer ordered a bandage tied over
his eyes.
"Why should you do that?" said
Ney. "Haven't / been accustomed
for twenty-five years to look bullets
and cannon balls in the face?"
He himself ordered the soldiers to
fire, standing and facing them.
His career summed up in one life
the spectacular heroism of the past

ShootinG stars.

sSssDO~ss-o
Doubtless the falling of 8rolites.
shooting stars and meteoric showers
have been witnessed by the people in
all ages of the worlds history. Holy
Writ has recorded that .signs and
wonders have and will appear in the
heavens from the day Of Adam until
time shall be no longer. 1t is not
our purpose at this time to speak OF
the appearing of such phenomena OF
'tancient days" but to notice few
of the meteoric showers of modern
times.
In the year 1899, on the night OF
November 1918, there was mvteOric
shower that extended north OF the
equator over North America, La
bradOr. Greenland, across the Atlantic
and into Germany. AS there were NO
railroads or telegraphs the full extent
of the shower was not known until
the following February. In the
northwestern portion of the United
States the display was delightful.
On the night of November 1918,
1918, England was visited with
meteoric shower of great brilliancy.
Three things we're noticeable at the
time-the rapidity with which the
meteOrs fell, the exceedingly dark
blue color of the sky, and the soft,
melodious sound that was heard in
the ARMAMENT as Of the wind blow
ing softly from the east to the west.
In the year 1881. on the night of
November 1913 a most beautiful
meteoric shower appeared in England,
which extended across the Atlantic
and over the United States. In Liv-
erpool the display was exceedingly
grand. Vessels arriving in, New
York and Liverpool, the officers re-
ported that at sea the display was
most beautiful, that generally the
passengers were composed, and looked
upon it with supreme delight, giving
thanks to the God of the heavens for
the manifestations of His wonderful
works.
But nothing in the history of me-
teoric showers has ever equaled that
of 1888, on the night of November
1913. 1t was visible all over the
United States, MEXICO, and the West
India Islands, intermingled with fire.
balls which darted forth at intervals,
leaving behind luminous trains which
remained in view from five to thirty
minutes. In North Carolina one was
seen which appeared as large and of
greater brilliancy than the moon.
In Indiana another, not so large,
was seen emitting most beautiful
streams of red and white lights.
Nothing in the history of meteoric
showeIs-sO brilliant, so grand, so
sublime-was ever before beheld by
man.
Never shall we forget, as we looked
upward and beheld the armament
descending in fiery torrents over our
beloved land, the home of the brave
and the land of the free. 1t ap-
peared as If the heavens were on fire.
The impressions made upon the
minds of the people we're varied.
The educated and intelligent looked
upon it with supreme delight. The
and unintelligent viewed
with fear and trembling.
The colored people Of the South
were frightened out of their wits.
They assembled in groups and prayed
as colored people only can pray
thinking that Gabriel was about to
blow the trumpet call ''Come to judg-
ment."

he recognized. sobbing her heart out,
and seating himself in his part, asked
In establishments:
my dear child, what does this
mean? Who is that MANI"
"What man, father? 1 have seen
no one but you" sobbed Marie.
''But have only just come into
church."
Haven't been confessing to you,
father?" said poor Marie, in an agony
of terror.

rushed out of the confessional as I
came into church. It looked like
Jean Tissot," said the priest.
''Oh, father! l shall die of shame
now. Oh! what will become of me?
have been confessing to you, as
thought, that I loved him. Oh!
wish l were dead! Iwould have died
before I would have said what 1 have
just been saying to any one but you. +"
'Poor child; tell me all about it, -
said Pere Legrand.
So poor Marie made her confession
a second time, feeling more shame
and modification than despair this
time.
"What shall do, father?" she con-
cluded.
''Nothing; leave it to Jean to act.
But promise me you will forgive him"
Marie gave the required promise,
and shortly after the priest dismissed
her, telling her to send Tissot to him
if she met him, as he had committed
a very grave sin.
There were several people in the
church now waiting for the service at
at seven, but Jean was not amongst
them.
Marie finished her devotions, and
then, not knowing whether she most
hoped or feared to meet Jean, left the
church.
1t was getting dusk now, but it
was light enough for her to distin-
guish jeans handsome face waiting
for her in the porch. as she closed the
church door.
The hot blood rushed into her
cheeks. her heart beat violently; the
end of all things seemed at hand;
would the ground open and swallow
her up?
The ground showed no such inclina-
tion.
A mans arms opened and folded
her to his heart.
cat last, Marie! You can never
deceive me again-I know the truth
now. No, you shall not stil from
here till you promise to be my wife,"
whispered Jean, kissing her passion
ately.

"Yes, unless you would rather 60

said Jean, who did not relish this
visit.
However, he went into the confess
sional, and Marie waited for him.

pered, when he came out.
'There is no need to do it again."
