4 superior officer Of the B. garri.
son vas some time ago the hero OF
most amusing cdvent1re. Colonel e.
lad received from Nine. v an in
vitation to dinner, but ON the day ap-
pointed, ard Just as he was about to
start, he wcs seized with violent at
tack Of neuralgia and decided to foregc
the pleasure in store for him. The colo
mel wrote q letter Of apology, called his
orderly and said:
Guy, you will give this letter to
Nine. W and then so and fetch me
nay dinner F"
Here the plot commences. Guy set
off after carefully secreting the letter
III his breast pocket along with his to-
bacco pouch. He arrived at Nine
VS., delivered his message and
stood as rigid as statue. The lady OF
the house was surprised and inquired
what he was waiting for. Guy replied'
''The colonel told me to fetch him
his dinner"
Nine. v saw the mans mistake,
gave certain orders, and the servants
handed the faithful linesman set OF
dishes emitting fragrant odors. More
over, Nine. v slipped half bottle
of champagne into the soldiers pocket
and said:
''You will serve this to the colonel at
dessert. -
Guy came back, and, upon my word,
the restaurant seemed to have provided
such host of good things that the colo
mel got up and took his seat at the table.
Over the soup he slowly began to recover
his appetite, to his no small surprise.
The sido dishes made him quito raven.
GUS, with the entrees his pain disap-
peared, he was stupefied at the roast
meat and dumfounded at the game, and
still his wonder grew at the marvellous
dishes supplied by his chophouse keeper.
At the dessert the orderly, obeying his
instructions, set the bottle Of champagne
on the table. He was asked for an ex-
planation, when everything came out.
The colonel in despair thought the mat
ter over and then gave his orderly 10
francs, telling him to buy bunch Of
Nine. W. Then our colonel, satis-
fed that he had done his best under the
trying circumstances, settled down in
an easy chair and composed himself to
sleep. An hour and half later the door
opened, and Guy walked in and gravely
deposited two 8 franc pieces ON the Ia
BILE. The colonel questioned him with
some anxiety.
"The lady paid for the nosegay,"
said the honest warrior, apparently well
pleased with the general turn of affairs.
Mme ", on receiving the bou-
quet, had given the soldier francs by
way of tip, on receiving which the
latter simply replied:
''It isn't francs, please, ma'ain; ii
is 10 francs.
Colonel 2 was confined to his bed
for three days, to the great alarm Of the
whole Of the garrison. --Progres ulustre.

And sought to pave the way
To settle ell my fevered doubts

Left hope within my heart,
