Graver virtues than the prosaic qualities ofmethod, order, regul:1rity ann the like follow on these hnbits of forethought and observation which, elder people try so hard to inculcate on the young, and which, the young try so hard not to Jenrn.

L'oi eau, son nid moèlleux, le buisson, sa couronne,

Le jeune enfimt, sa mère, et l'ami, sou ami !

J 'ai vu cette heure amère où. tout nous abandonne! . .

Pourquoi rompre, ô mon Dieu , tous ces chnstes liens,

Ces germes qui croissaient sur une même tige,

Et disperser de ceux dont je rn~ ressouv iens

Avec ravissement, jusqu'au dernier vestige?

LA PRIERE DU PE TIT JEAN.

J ean était alors agé de six ans. Il avait de beaux yeux bleus qui essayaient parfois un sourire, quoiqu'ils eussent beaucoup pleuré déjà. Sa tête était comme encadrée par une chevelure blonde et bo.uclée et si épaisse qu' on en aurait pu coifl'e r deux jolies fern-

mes; mais il était très pauvrement vêtu: il portait un chapeau déchiré, une veste élégamment taillée mals qui tombait en lambeaux, des pantalons troués aux genoux, dans un pied une bottine de fillette, dans l'autre un soulier d'écolier. La dedans il avait froid. Il avait faim aussi, car il n'avait pas mangé depuis deux jours! Dans sa détresse il vent envoyer une lettre à la Sainte Vierge. Mais comment faire? Il sait ni écrire ni lire.

Un pen en dehors de la ville il y a v ait une échoppe. Jean en avait déjà entendu parler, mais il ne savait pas où elle était. N'importe. Il se met en route; il va d'une place à l'autre, s'informe, enfin il la trouve. Il aperçoit celui qu'il cherchait à travers son chaesis-il fumait &a pipe en attendant l'ouvrage. Son nom était Bouin. C'é­tait un vieux soldat, un homme sérieux avec un visage un peu malin, son cœur était un peu froid, mais Bouin n'était pas bigot, ah ! non .

Le petit Jean frappe. "Entrez" répondit d'un ton sevère le père Bouin. La porte s'ouvre.

," Bonjour, mon petit, fit le vieux soldat. As-tu besoin de quelque choae?

"Üui monsieur, répondit Jean.'' " Eh bien! qu'est-ce que c'est?" "J e voudrais faire écrire une lettre." Je charge dix sous, as-tu de l'argent?" "Non je n'en ai point, monsieur, pas mêm~ un sou.

Ma pauvre mère est malade et nous n'avons pas mangé depuis deux jours, ni elle ni moi, et je voudrais écrire à ·quelqu'un pour demander un petit morceau de pain."

Le vieux se sentit ému. "Ce n'est toujours pns dit-il elix sous et ma feuille de papier qui me rendront plus pauvre, il faut bien faire la charité sur cette terre.''

Il ôta sa pipe de ea bouche et prit sa plume. Il écrivit en haut de la page le nom de la place.

"A qui veux-tu écrire, Bibi?' ' J ean ne répondit rien. "Est-ce n un monsieur? "Non monsieur." " Est-ce à une dame?" " Nou,-oui, c'est toujours ti. une clame." •'Mais à qui alors ?" J ean rougit : ça le gênait de dire à qui. Puis enfin,

t remblant, il dlt: "A la Sainte Vierge." "Moucheron ! fit le vionx, viens-tu ici pour rire de

moi? Passe la porte." J ean baissa la tête, tourna sur ses talons et sortit .

.Mais le père Bouin pensa un pen: "Il a pourtant l'air d'un bon enfant." Il ouvre la porte et l'appelle: "Reviens ici, petit." Jean revint.

"Comment t'appelles-tu?" " J ean."

ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE JOURNAL. 21

to teach French and German" in the household of an Englis.h nobleman. Only one obstacle.at this time came in the way of the unhappy exile-his health-:-that main-, stay of the unfortunate in all their journey ings, gave out, and sorely distressed, ailing in body and in mind, kind charity had at last to pr0vide a bed for him in one of the wards of the public ·hospital. When after a tediol)s illness of more .than four months, he emerged from this retreat, Gustave de Noyer found himselt a vagra,nt; found himself, as in Paris, once more pen­niless, and knew not what to do. At this time, by ap­plication to the French minister, he might have obtain­ed a passage back to France. But a new idea haunted his brain from the day he left the hospital. Could he once reach New York,. he argued to himselt, he would succeed. There h~ would be sute to find, if not fortune, f<ympotl1y at least, for his loneliness, and appreciate comp<'nsation for honest work. Good luck again came to his rescue. A friend supplied him with necessary funds to purchase a steerHge passage, and this scion of the ancient nobiiity of France whose wealth and posi­tion might once hav.e commanded a vessel, for the mere asking, came alllong the poorest and in the cheapest way to the gre[lt city. Heaven only knows what he bll­clnred in this transit of the Atlantic; but, like many others, he braved it all uncomplainingly, that he might rea ch the land of the free.

He was at last in New York. The fir8t place, after many vicissitndes, where the noble DeNoyer found employment in the .metropolis, wns on the stage of a prominE>.nt theatre. He gecame captatn of the supers, as the term goes. In time he no doubt would have advan­ced to something bett~r, for his rare intell igence, his extraord inary ~ bility, tran~parent even in his hnmble sphere singled him out as a man of mark, and far beneath his rightful position. The man:1gers of the theatre discove~·ed his talents.

One day after a long rehearsal had been di smisserl, the ca.ptain of the supers was snmmoned to the stage office.

"You are going to be promoted,'' said the manager, "Messrs.- are well pleased with yon and are going to do something in your behalf."

"I thank you, sir," replied De Noyer, "but witl1 clue respect allow me to say, and plea~e inform the managers that I am nbout to promote myself."

"How is this ( Ha vc you me:tns? Wh:tt are you going to do?"

"Since coming hexe. I have saved some money. A fi:iend advanced some more, and I shall open a gentle­men's shoe store. · The place bas been secured, and I know I can make money in the city of New York."

"Yon think so; how?" "Well, I never told you that I knew se·veral lan-

guages. 1 shall advertise in all these. There is a large emigration to this city, . and many foreigners will be­come my customers. I may now give you notice that I shall leave in a week. You may come to my place at No.-Nassau street, and there you may find out if I speak the truth."

Gustave established his little store. It was situated below Fulton street, ou the right hand side, and not as far down as Maiden .lane, and there are New Yorkers who may remember it to-day, though the Frenchman's place has long ceased to be a landmark. The managers of the' theatre where Gustave had been employed visited the store more than once. Indeed, they were among the first and best of his customers, and the pro­fession generally knew him well. The store was adver­tised, as its proprie ~.or said he would advertise it, in many langu.ages. In a few years the stranger built up an extensive trade. He bec.ame well ltnown in the French colony in New York, and though forming but few associations and giving his confidence to no one, he was well liked and li ved in good sty !e.

At the breaking out of the war in · April, 1861, De Noyer was doing a splendid business, and from all appearances, many surmised he had amassed quite a ni ce independence.

The enthusiasm pervading all classes of the commu­nity in the first days of the Rebellion is something to bE> remembered. No class shared it more than the French colony in Ne~ York, and they quickly responded to the P resident's appeal for troops. When Sickles organ­ized the "Excelsior'' Brigade, among the first to enlist was the hero of our story, Gustave De N oyer. He had previously put all his affairs in order, had disposed ct his l>nsiness and left a detailed memoranda of his in­tentions, inclnding a will, with a well-known banking firm on. Broadway. He wm1t to the war with all the enthusiasm of a Frenchman. Thb blood of the De Noy­ers had been shed before on many a hard-fought field in old France, and the spirit was not yet dead in the self-exiled son of as noble a line as ever wore the star in Brittany. DeNoyer made a good soldier. In 1863 his regiment was attached to the Old Third Corp~, com­manded by Genera l Sickles, which took part in the second clay's fight at Gettysburg. Tllat was a memor­able day, and many a brave man who went upon the field strong and valiant never returned to tell the tale of slaughter.

DeNoyer was not among the killed, but he was among the wounded. A minnie ball, em-ly in the day, · had pierced his left breast, and he lay for many hours unconscious npon the field. Toward evening of that 21st. day of July, sometime after the terrible fighting had ceas­ed, as a company of soldiers were passing on their rounrls to look after the wounded and the dying, they came up-

i (.

,.. "'"'J. .,

22 ST. VIATEUR'S COLLEGE JOUHNAJ,,

on a mound of the slain anrl the wounded together, in the famous Peach Orchard, where the terrible hand-to­hand conflict had raged in the morning between the Blue and the Gray. DeNoyer with three more of his companions, was carefully lifted up, placed in an ambu­lance and removed. The surgeon did all that could be done under the circumstances, and the men were sent back to the Baltimore Pike. Here a temporary hospital had been provided. Here General Sickles himself had given up his leg, which had been almost shot fi·om his body early in the day.

For the seconcl time in his life, DeNoyer found him­self in a hospital, but how different were his surround­ings. In London he was . penniless, and charity itself had provided him with a bed. After Gettysburg he was a hero, and his ndopted country, in which he had suc­ceeded almost from the first, stood w'atching by his suffering pillow. Kind hands ministered to his needs, and if he died here, he would di e without regret, since­like the noble ancestors from whom he sprang, a sol­dier's death would be his crown.

He had be'm carri ed to the hospital at night; and not nntil next morning did he recover full conscious­ness of his whereabouts. In the meantime he had been well provided tor. From the neighboring convent at Emmittsburg, a body of si8ters had been detailed to act as muses and minister to the comfort of the wounded and the dying.

Gustave lay upon his bed suffering intense pain. The ball had penetrated his left lung and all attempts of the physicians to extract it had proved 80 far unavailing. His eyes were closed. The sister who came to his bed­side could do little to help him. She pressed a cooling draught to his lips and wiped the perspiration from his brow. As she looked into his face she drew back · for an instant; a pallor as defined as that upon the face of the sufferer overspread her countenance. Involuntarily she d1:ew back, then she came nearer, almost bent down to the pillow, as if seeking recognition through the v~iled lids.

"Gustave! mon Gustave!" she whispered to hersel( And this was the silent meeting between brother and

sister after yenrs of separation. This was the same girl that had appealed to him years before not to leave their father's house-the girl that in his mad desire to return to Paris, he had pushed asi<'le, and now they met again. He was prostrate, she was strong; he was near the encl of his life, she wAs in the bloom of Iter c:treer.

Aner her father and mother died, she entered a convent. A cltsire to serve in the foreign missions brought her to America; chnnce led her to Emmittsbnrg, and the good lnck that favored Gustave in all his wanderings, brought the only membP.r of his 1ilmily living, to close his dying eyes.

On the morning of the second day aner his coming to the hospital, Gustave was somewhat easier. He had entirely recovered consciousness.

The faithful little sister stood by his bedside. "Sister" said the patient calmly, "I am going to die." She made no answer. "Will you tell me your name?" "Angela," quietly replied his nurse and the foreign

accent was almost music in the sufferer's ears. "Angela! that means an angel. You must have been

the one I dreamt of lnst night; for it seemed to me, iu my dre:-~m, that an angel was before me, telling me to look up to heaven and pointing the way."

The sister was growing pale, her hands shook with nervousness; and she drew a chair near, to relieve her tottering weight.

"You are not an Amencn.n !''and the wounded man looked into the blue eyes fixerl upon his face.

"No; I am French," "France! from where?'' "Brest, in Brittany." The soldier almost leaped from the bed, and p•1t out

his hands upon the sister's shoulde1·~.

She gently lnid him back in his recumbent posture and resumed her seat.

He close<l his eyes for a moment, then opening them wicle-"Yon are Elanie?" said he. Mon D ieu! rna sreur! Elanie! and he fell back faint:ng on the pillow.

When he revived, his nurse was no longer at his side. A friend had resumed · her plnce. But she soon came back; for the soldier's hours in this world were drawing to a close, and he would not di e until he saw her again. When she retnrncd to his bedside, the quiet that gene­rally precedes death was upon Gustave. He tolrl Elanie the story of his life. She told him bow his father and mother had died; how his father forgave him and blessed his name oefore breathing his last j and the poor exile was made happy in the encl.

Elanie received his last breath and closed his eyes. Before dying, he took from a small morocco case hang­ing about his neck a package of letters. Among them she found his lnst written directions in regard to what he owned; and what clhposal he bad marle of his pro­perty. A l?alf blotted da.guen eotype was there too. It was the fac~ of a yonng man whose age might be about twenty-five. Scrolled on the bn.ck of it, llil if a pin hacl been usecl, was the name "Charles Du Gnerin !" She buried it with him; though she never knew her brother's fri eml. It wns all that remained of a noble · name. And. thongh the name of Ela.nie's brother is forgotten now, and Elanie ·berself is d,eacl, the s(llcfier's fame lives on, for he eli eel a soldier of the Union.
