Ile came to France, and desired nothing so much us too be a French soldier to fight for the rea)very of Strasbourg. He bad been living foe nix years m boanling.house with relation., but he could nof tennicile himself to abandon his idea and exist fir mere eating and drinking. He had wished ta, marry a Frenchwoman, and tw.o girls had laid court and ultimately jilted him. Ile had broken his arm, which a French quack doctor had bully set, and so bin dearest wish to serve in the French army was frustratsd. Ile gave notice that he would kill him. self in the Protestant Cho cot to show tltat he thought the pastor a hnsicrite. Ile desired no nupemtitiout cross o over bonnie, but hoped all tatrioticbrenchmen wo add attend bin funeral, or he would like better that bin holy might be giveniii for dissection no that tho neat scientific doctors might one what ought to haye been the mover treatment for the accident which rendered hue a cripple.
