I liaro not wealth, no landi are min»,
I own no houses broad and high ;
I htvj no coally gems to shine,
No robes of rMill.and Varied dye |
No real coach, nor dappled grays,
To draw me through the crowded street.
No titled fops to lisp my praise,
And bow in homage at my feet.
Noscryan’s to obey my will,
No slaves to wait at my command :
No golden cup with wine to fill,
No jewels on my soft, while band;
No costly coach, with soft whi'o lac»,
And softly spread with snowy white,
To rest at night my form upon,
When wrapt in tranquil slumber light.
No, I have none, not one of these :
My home is but a rustic cot;
I've no fastidious friends to please,
And mine’s a very happy lot,
For I am loved by one dear heart,
And as my hours and days glide o'er,
I see nogotden dreams depart—

Tlic I’lrwi UrttiiiKlivr of France.
For many a year tlerc was a touching
and beautiful custom to be wituonsod in a
certain regiment of French grenadiers, and
which was meant to commemorate the hero
ism of a departed comrade.
\V hen the companies assembled for parade
snd tbe roll was called, there was one name
to which i:s owner could not answer—it
wan that of La Tour a nd; Auvergne.
\\ lien it was called, the oldest sergeant
present stepped a pace forward, and raising
his baud to bis cap, sni I proudly :
‘‘D.ed on the field of honor.”
For fourteen years this custom was con
tinued, and only ejased when the restored
Bourbons, to please tboir foreign masters,
forbade everything that was calculated to
preserve the spirits of the soldiers of
Franco.
Li Tour d’ Auvergne was not unworthy
m life of this honor paid him after his
dea h He was educated in the army, en
tered in 17G7, and in 1781 served under the
Duke de Cullon at the of l’ort Ma
hon. Ho served always with dostinction,
but constantly refused offers of promotion,
saying that he was only fit to command a
company of grenadiers; but finally, tho va
rious grenadier companies being united,.lie
f iUnd himself i.i command of a body of eight
thousaud men, while retaining only the
rank of captain.
Hence he was known as the First Grcni
dier of France.
Bet it is r-De particular exploit of his
that we wish tr write about, more than his
career iQ general.
When he was ovor forty yrara of ago, ho
went on a visit t» a friend, not far ftoaj a
scctiap of- the country that was soon t£. be
■come the Accn# of a errujaign. While there
lie was btyxj.in acquainting himgdf widi
the features of the country, thinking it
not unliYely that this knowledge i?fight be
of aso to him someday, and whlie here, the
brave grenadier was astonished to barn that
the war had been rapidly shifte 1 to that
quarter and that a regiment of Austrians
were pushing on to occupy a narrow pass
about ten miles from where he was staying,
and the poisession of which would give them
an opportunity to prevent an important
movemct.t of the French which was then on
foot. Thry hoped to surprise this post, and
we e moving so ray idly it that they
were no’, more than two lauis distant, from
the place where he was staji ig, and wbieh
(hey would have to pa<son their march;
It matters not how he heard the news. It
is sufficient to say that he de ermined at
once to act upon it.
He bad no idea of being captured by tho
enemy in their advance, and he at once set
off for the pass. He knew that the pass
was defended by a strong tower, and a garri
son of thirty men, and he hop?d to be able
to warn the men of their danger;
He hastened on and arriving there, he
found tbe tower in perfect condition. It
had just b’en vacated by the garrison, who
had heard of the approach of the Austrians,
and had been seised witb a panic thereat,
and had fled, leaving their arms consisting
of thirty excellent muskets.
La Tuuc d’ Auvergne gnashed his teeth
with rage as he discovered this. Searching
in the building, he found several boxes of
amunition that the cowards had not destroy
ed. For a moment ho was in despair, but
then with a grim smile he began to fasten
the main door, and pile against it sUeb arti
cles as he could find.
When he had dofie this, ho londcd all
the guns heconld find and placed them, to
gether with a good supply of amunilion, un
der theloop-ho that commanded the road
by which the enemy must, advance.
Then he ato heartily of the provisions
that he had brought with him, and sat
down to wait. He had absolutely formed
the heroic resolution to defend the tower
alone against the enemy.
There were some things in his favor in
such an undertaking. The pas? was steep
and narrow, and the enemy’s troops coull
only enter it in double files, and in so do
ing they would lie fully exposed to the fire
from the tower. The original garfison of
thirty men could easily have held it against
a division, and now odc man was about to
attempt to bold it against a regiment.
It was daik when La Tour d’Auvergnc
reached the tower, and iio had to wait
some fine for the enemy. They were
longer in coming than ho had expected,
and for a while lie was lempted to bulievo
that they had abandoned the expedition.
About midn-ght, however, hU practiced
ear caught the tramp of feet. Every mo
ment the sound came nearer, and at last lie
heard thorn entering the defile Immedi
ately ho discharged a couple of muskets In
to the d'fkiicss to let them know that he
know of their presence and intentions, and
he heard the quick, short commands of the
officers, and, from the sounds, he supposed
that the troops were retiring from the puss.
Until the morning he was undisturbed.—
The Austrian commander, feeling assured
that the garrison had been informed of his
movements,and was prepared torcceive him,
saw that he could not surprise the post as he
had hoped to do,and deemed it prudent to
wait until daylight beforo making an attack.
At sunrise he Summoned the girriSon to
surrender. A grenadi r answered tho sum
mons.
(, S ty to your commander," he said, in re
fdv to the triersmger, "that this gaf.ison
will defend tbispo.tto the Irst extremity.”
Tl.c offici r who had borne the flag of true#
retired, and in about ten minntrs a piece of
artillery was brought in tho pass and opened
rtn the tower. But to effect this, the piece
had to be placed directly in front of tho tow
er, and within easy musket range of it.
They had scarcely got tho gun i l pos t n,
when a rapid fire was opened on it from tbe
tower, aad con'ioucd with stioh marked ef
fect that the pisoe was withdrawn aftor th«
second discharge, with a 1 >ss of five men.
Thisavas a bad beginniug, so half an
hour after tho gun Was withdrawn tile
Austrian colonel ordered an assault.
As the troops entered the defile they
were rccievod with n rapid and accurate
fire, so that when they had passed over half
the distance they had to traver e, they had
Whi fifteen men. Disheartened by t!n
thev returned to the month of tho defile.
Throe more assaults were repulsed in
this mannpi*, and the enemy by sun et had
lost forty-five men, of whom ten were kill
ed
The firing fr m the trwer had been rap
id and accurate, but the Austrian com
mander had no’iued this peculnrity about
it—every shot, seemed to como from tho
same p’aee. For awhile ties perplexed
him, but at last be cirno to the eonclnsion
that there were a tiutnb'r of loop-holes
close together in the tower, so constructed
as ti command tho ravine perfectly.
At sunset the last assault was made and
repulsed, and at dark tho Austrian com
mander sent a second summons to the gar
rison.
This time tho answer was favorable.—
The garrison offered to surrond r at sun
rise the next morning if allowed to match
out with their arms and return to the
army unmolested . After some hesitation
the terms wero acccpto I.
Moantinn?, La Tour d’Auvergno find
passed an nnxi nus day in the tower. He
had opened the fight with an armament of
thirty loaded muskets, but had not been
able to discharge th m. lie had fired
with surprising rapfidity, but with surpris
ing 1 Occurjcy, for it was well known in the
army that he never threw away a shot.—
Ho had determined to stand to his post un
til ho had accomplished hi? end, which was
to Ih4il tire place twenty-four hours, in or
der so give the French army time to com
plete ittunanrpuvro. Astor th t, ho knew
tlic pass would be of no consequence to the
enemy.
When the demand for n surrender catno
to him after the last nman’t, ho consented
to it upon the conditions named.
The next day at sunrise the Austrian
trxtps lined tho pass in two files, extending
from the mouth to tho tmver leaving a
spaetj. between them fyr the garrison to pa?s
out.
The heavy door of tho tower opened
slowly, r.nd in a few minutes ft bronzed and
scarred gr nadler, literally loaded down
with mil Lets, came out and pass’d down
the line of troops. He walked with diffi
culty Under his heavy load.
To tbe surprise of the Austrian*, no one
followed him from tbe tower
In astonishment the Austrian colonel
rode up to him, and asked in French why the
garrison did not come out.
‘T am the garrison, colonel,” said tbe sol
dier, proudly.
“What!’’ exclaimed the colonel; “do you
mean to tell me th 'tyou alone have held
that tower against me 7”
“1 have had that honor, oolonel,” was the
reply.
“What possessed yon to make such an at
tempt, grenadier ?”
‘‘The homr of France was at stake.”
The colonel gnzedat him fora moment
with undisguised admiration. Then, rais
ing his cap, he said warmly:
“Grenadier, I salute you. You have prov
ed yourself the bravest of the brave.” Tbo
officer caused all the arms which La ’Tour
d’Auvcrgne could not carry to be collected,
and sent them all, with tue grenadier, into
the French lines, together with a note rola
ing the whole affair.
When the knowledgo.of it came to the oars
of Napoleon, be offered to promote La Tour
Auvergne, bat the latter declined to ac
cept the promotion, saying that he pre
ferred to remain where he was
This bravo soldier met hisden’h In an ac
tion at Aborhauscn, in Davaiia, in June,
1800, and the situ; le but expressive scene
at roll-call in his regiment was cirnmenced

TbttNM*n— In this country our firmer*
do not place • ‘prop, r estimate upon the
green or root cmpi. The cereal e-nps occu
py their attention to the neglect of others.
fLo turnip is by i’dr the mint valuable of the
root orops. It contains a large amount of
nutrition, and as a f >od for onttl# it Is un
surpassed. Inpr>dueing turnips, tho de
mand for tht cereals is lessened, and as tho
cultivation of tho latter, generally, is mere
laborious and difficult than that of tbo for
mer, an advantage in to be scoured by a
change in our system of fawning. Io Gna'
Britain and other coun’ries, the turntp is
regarded as an important product of the
farm, anti it i< cultivated on a l.vge scale.
In some distti ts it constitutes tho principle
article of fitnl for callo duiingthe fall and
wintor. Nothing aids more in improving
tlic cond!tin 1 of ei’t’e and horses than a
free supple of good atid weet turnips While
they afford nourishment they keep tho bow
els regular and the sys’eui in a healthy state.
Many of our mmt suoeessful brooders feed
their ft rih hfit'kes *fp'n fflrtfpS a tiff carrofs"
iu wiipcr, and when they f im an article and
so and, tho animals thrive and look well.
Nothing gives such a smooth and glossy eon'
to the raec-h rso as a judieh u 1 supply <f
turnips. Wo tru-t that our farmers will
fiion learn to plaeo a high value upon tbe
root crops, and cultivate them upon a larger
scalo thin they do at the present.

A Riddi.h.—A man has a little
which he must carry. Iron one side of a
river to the other, a wolf, a gnat, and a cii>-
bago, and must not carry more than one of
these at once. Which shall ho take li''6t,
without tho risk that, during one of his nav
igations, tho wo'f may devour tho goat, or
♦he goat tho cabbage? Suppose he carry
the woff, tho cabbage is lost—if tho cab
ling®, the goat is devoured—if tho goat,
thu embarrassment is equal.; for ho must
risk his goat, or hi? cabbage, on tlto dther
side of the ritcr. Tho answer is:—lie
must taka tlic goat first, tho wolf will not
touch tho cabliage; in tho second passage
he carries the cabbage, and brings back
the gmt; in the tbiid ko transports tlic
wolf, which may again bo safely left with
tire uubbftuU ' lie concludes with return
