The snow lies thick on the ground;
the air is dark, heavy, and laden with

Hundreds of miles between this and

is numbered with dead horses and fallen

And without casting even passing
glance at NJ. de Lacuee, the youne
man again fixed his earnest gaze upon
the chateau NJ de Lacuee delighted
in an adventure and this youth, Will
his animated countenance, and voice
trembling with emotion, inspired hin
at once with interest. Again ap
proaching him:
''Well, sir, said he. "and what dc

camp on duty"
You, sir, cried the young man,
seizing NJ de Lacuee's hand which he
squeezed with transport; are you the
First Consuls aide-de-camp? Oh, if
you knew the service you could render
me- Pray, sir, take me to him.
"What do you want of him?"
Il must speak to him and he
added, in lower tone of voice: 1T
is secret.
Lacuee contemplated the youthful
petitioner, who stood before him with
look of intense eagerness, squeezing
the hand he held as if it were in a
vice, his bosom palpitating and his
respiration oppressed; but his look
evinced a mind of the noblest stamp.
"This youth is not dangerous, -
thought Lacuee; and, taking his arm
he led him into the interior court.
As they passed the gate, Duroc, ac-
companied by Junot, arrived from
Paris, whittier they had gone in the
morning Both were on horseback.
They stopped and alighted to speal,
to Lacuee, who related what had Just
happened between him and the young
stranger.
Junot then approached the youth
and observed that although the First
Consul was not difficult of access, vet
it was necessary he should know why
an interview with him was required,
and moreover, the name of the party
who made such request.
The young man blushed. True,
general, said he, howing respectfully,
but with the ease of a gentleman, and
stating his name. 'My father resides
in the country. | have received from
him an education adapted TO the end
which both he and l had in view
namely, my admission to the Polytech-
mic school Judge, then, general, of
his disappointment and of mine, when,

whore duty it is to decide whether or
not l am qualified, this gentleman re-
fused to examine me, because I had
been taught by my father only. What
matters that (said 4 provided possess
the requisite knowledge? But he was
iphexible and nothing could induce
him to ask me single question.
"But, said Duroc, in his usual
mild and polite manner, what can
the First Consul do in such a case?
If that be the rule, it must be observed
by every candidate and what can you,
therefore, require of him?"
"That he examine me himself" re.
piled the young man, with most ex.
pressiye naivete.
