from Elba was led In the crisis Of the
battle by Marshal Ney, the "bravest Of
the brave.
The French veteran quoted above
tells the story Of the Old Guard in their
last cast for the throne Of the emperor.
He says: "From all sides, over the
thunder of the cannon, over all the tu-
multi, the cry was heard, The guard is
comingp Yes, the guard was coming at
last. We could see them in the dis
lance, with their high bearskin caps,
advancing in good order.
''Those who have never witnessed the
arrival of the guard on the battlefield
can never know the confidence which is
inspired by body Of tried soldiers, the
kind Of respect paid to courage And
now after terrible massacre, after the
repulse of furious attacks, on seeing the
Russians fall back on our flank we
said, This is the decisive blow. And
we thought, If it fails, all is lost
This was why we all looked at the
guard as they marched steadily up.
1T was Ney who commanded them.
The emperor knew that nobody could
lead them like Ney; only he should
have ordered them up an hour sooner.
Then we should have gained all. But
the emperor looked upon them as his
own flesh and blood. If he had had
them at Paris five days later, Lafayette
and the rest would not have remained
long in the chamber to depose him.
This was why he waited so long before
sending them in. He hoped that Ney
would succeed in overwhelming the
enemy with the cavalry, or that Grou-
chy would turn, attracted by the sound
of the cannon, and then he could send
him in place Of his guard to break
Wellington's front; because he could
always replace 80, 900 or 10000 com
mon soldiers by CONSUMPTION, but to
have another such guard he must COM
mence at 25 and gain so victories, and
what remained Of the best, most solid
and the toughest would be the guard.

and several other generals marched in

front. We could see nothing but the
guard-the roaring cannon, the musket
ry, the cries of the wounded were all
forgotten. But the lull did not last long.
The English perceived as we'll as we
that this was to be the decisive blow
and FASTENED to rally all their forces TO
receive it.
1.-THE attack sounded and our cannon
began to thunder All was quiet on the
hillside, the rows Of English cannon
were deserted, and we might have
thought they We're all gone only as the
bearskin caps Of the guard arose above
the plateau five or six volleys of shot
warned us that they were waiting for
us. Many of our wounded retired at
this moment and the guard advanced,
sweeping everything before it, but it
closed up more and more diminished ev-

Ger was dismounted and the guard halt
ed before such terrible fire of musket-
ny that even we, 900 PAGES in rear, could
not hear the sounds of our own guns.
"At last the whole army in front, on
the right, on the left, with the cavalry
on the TANKS, fell upon us. The four
battalions of the guard, reduced to / 200
men, could not Withstand the charge.
They fell back slowly, and we fell back
also, defending ourselves with musket
and bayonet.
"When we reached the edge Of the
plateau, all the plain below was envel-
oped in darkness and the confusion of

A single battalion of the guard in a
square near farmhouse and three other
battalions farther on, with one square
at the junction of the route at blanche

structure in the midst of an inundation
which sweeps away everything else "
In the line Of one Of the squares stood
Ney, firmly holding ON while the Brit

Oyerrun at last, the squares broke, and
then it was that the brave Michel, when
summoned to surrender, gave voice to

Girls are so frequently warned not
to answer matrimonial advertisements
that when one is ''heeced" as invari-
ably occurs, she receives little SYM
pathy. The latest victim in this line
is Mrs. Edna Preston, Of Amsterdam
IN. Y. An advertisement appeared
from a man named Berger, o
claimed to own 5000 and wanted to
marry woman with the same amount.
She sold house for $1,000, met and
married him. He got possession OF
the money, then disappeared. He
was recently arrested, but the widows
money is gone. On Berger was found
various letters from women with prop
erty, one who placed at his disposal
her hand, heart and $4,000. Evident
ly the fair sex had nibbled at his first
bait so greedily, he was ready to re-
peat the experiment when arrested.
You may set it down as safe rule,
that if man cannot persuade some
girl who knows him, to marry him,
The girl who does not know him wants
to steer clear of such a matrimonial
venture. -Ex.
