VlronsitUed from the French, for the Xew York Amu icau.] THE TWO DRAG HOAX Large and plentiful pasture?, cattle grazing about, horses of perfect shape ami gentleness, gazing over the hedges lined with apple trees, natives of Normandy; a bright and beautiful sun casting its r.ivs overall, a hillock with its little path, down which came it troop of young Normans, singing clear and loud. It was not, however, a holiday; for la borers turned from their work to look at them as they passed. This Sunday dress, these hats streaming with ribbons; one would have thought it a wedding, but the hrtde was wanting; instead of a violin, a drum. Among their ribbons were pieces of paper bearing the first numbers of arith matic. They were, therefore, conscripts.— Nothing was wanting to their felicity but intoxication; aud this seemed to provide for, as passing from village to village, they mixed their cider with stronger liquors ; and they are right. Intoxication, it is said, is bad for savages, whodo not require it; they are free. But to the peasant who leaves his home, his love, to serve under a corporal, wine is good, and too much of it cannot be taken. Behind the troop came two young peasants ; one of middle size, and mild and gentle countenance, down which large tears were rolling; the other, tall, stout, with red hair, and cheeks as red and rosy as the fruit cf his native pro vince ; the most beautiful eyes in the world, large, blue, anti joyous. Charlet should have seen him. But the expression of his countenance at the moment was almost sad. Lean ing over his companion, almost sustain ing him in his arms, Norbert did his best to console him. “Do not cry, Thibaut,” said he; “what good does it do? and be sides, what do you regret ? you are an orphan; and as for war, Ido not hate it, or you either, I will answer for it. You are a little timid, but you have courage, Thibaut; and if you were to see me in danger, * * * The church would have suited you batter ; but bah ! French men like us were made expressly for battle. Are you thinking of Girard’s daugter ? She is not worth it, not she ; and I, even I, had I ehosen, —but no mat ter. Somebody wept for me too this morning. But come, long live the Em peror,—the King we must say, for it seems the other’is reuliy dead. Come, we wall live long and happily together— come along. The troop stopped at a little inn ; every one called Norbert: ‘‘The laggards,” said he, “I must go and make them laugh.” They drank deeper and deeper. The cider sparkled like champaigne; shouts, broken glasses, tricks played upon one another; songs, chorusses, popular verses, even psalms. Even Norbert in vented lines, less remarkable for rhyme than for his native wit, —and the roars and peals of laughter. Norbert was not one of those who watch the sensation they produce, but seeing Thibaut next him, and laughing in spite of himself, the good hearted youth drank more, till, had not his companion almost dragged him to the village, he ran a good chance of sleeping all night in a ditch, in the open air,—the right place for drunkards. He would not have slept the worse for it. The two Normans were sent to a re giment of dragoons, garrisoned in Alsace. Norbert particularly was well calculated for this service, which patakes of the light troop and the cuirassier. The dragoons made themselves known in 1814, when, i to finish oF, every one did his best.— j They were talked of, and thanks to those veterans who caine from Spain to the re lief of the country, these northern men have left more than one carcase to fatten our fields and dogs upon. Norbert had taken care not to !u> sr rmra ted from Thibaut. “If you do not put as together,” said he to the recruiting offi cer, “on my word, Captain, I promise to turn deserter.” The officer was young; he understood the peasant, and Thibaut ■ was made a dragoon. One Sunday night, two months after he had enlisted, he was sitting alone, near a table in the garden of a public house, the general rendezvous of the sol diers ; his cap was lying by him near a pot of beer, and two enormous glasses.— He was waiting for Norbert. Just then a dragoon entered, surnarned the Parisian, kiiown of all to be a danger ous and ferocious man; brave, however, famous for his skill in all kinds of fen cing, and for twenty duels fatal to his adversaries. The Parisian advanced, followed by two soldiers and a girl. All the tables were taken. He approached the one where Thibaut was sitting . and sweep ing the table with his sword ! “Place to your elders conscript, ” said he, over tuning as he spoke, cap, beer and glass ses—“go anil cape some where else: do you hear me ?” Thibaut looked at him a mazed at this unexpected attack. “Go off,” repeated the Parisian, push ing him violently. Thibaut resisted; and the word brutal—the other had drank a great deal; the blood flew to his face, and two blows sounded on that of the young soldier; all the others turned round. Thibaut nas not a cownrd, certainly ; VOIi. 1.-AO. 22. lmt hts inexperience, his weakness, his bewilderment, the Parisian’s reputation, the scornful words and looks that over whelmed him—the girl had thrown In r self between them; suddenly lie picked up his cap and walked out-not without darting a fiery glance at the Parisian— not without thinking of revenge; hut irrief and shame almost overpowered him, and he tho’t most of Norbert. He sought him as if by instinct. He perceived him at length, walking quietly along, arm in arm, with a tall and pretty peasant girl, who was laughing,like him, with all her heart. Heaven krow- how the Norman patois and Alsacien language could be talked and understood togeiht Two months of service hail already m de. Norbert an accomplished cavalier; and when the clasps of his cap surrounded his animated countenance; when the steel of his visor gleamed brightly in the sun, his mustachios shook with laughter, it was not to be wondered at, that the young girls admired him. They were both laughing; and even without the kisses that past between, she would have laughed on. Thibaut came up to them. Norbert raised his eyes. “What it the matter,” exclaimed he, leaving the young girl. Thibaut threw himself weeping on the bosom of bia friend. His confusion affected Norbert much more than that of his sweetheart. “Have you been insulted, Thibaut,” inquired he, bending towards him, and sustaining him with his left arm. Some presentiment of evil came over him. While Thibaut, striking his heart, “the Parisian Norbert turned pale as death. It was enough for him to see the Parisian to hate him, and to hear his name to be sure that * * * — “He struck you,” said he—“thousand curses.—Did you kill him, the Parisian.” “It is my fault,” continued he, “I had promised to be there, for once I missed; but do not be angry with me, Thibaut,” said he, pressing his hand—his large teere shone in his eyes—“ I will avenge you— come.” “No, Norbert, I am the one to fight him; you must be my second. I will do my best.” “You!” exclaimed Norbert, shrugging his shoulders; “You!—one so weak!—but I have always said, that. if you saw me in danger,—to-day it is my turn; come. When we were children, Thibaut, I defended you more than once, and I am still the same man; and besides, now I have a sword. I know you would not distress me; so come.” Thibaut followed him in an indiscriba ble state of agitation. Norbert hud al ways exercised great influence over him. The young girl watched them as they rt tired, trembling with fear, and no longer recognizing her gay and gallant cavalier. He advanced with a rapid step; nothing, however, about him betrayed the assas sin; he still preserved his manly and martial bearing; his blue eye seemed almost black; he murmured between hie teeth; his hand played with the hilt of Ins sword; the blade rattled in the scab bard. He entered the garden; the Parsian was standing with his back to him, but it did not take him long to recognize him. Ho threw himself before him, and overturn ing with his loot the table and its con tents, he thrust his large fist three times in the face of his adversary. Whose rage was the greatest!—that of the duellist, or of Norbert? The Pa risian clasped his hand to hts sword, but iron fingers clasped his two arms, and eyes as fiery as his own returned the a buse that poured from his lips. “Hear me,” said Norbert; “I have i come to kill you; yes you; so do r.ot make a noise, for that will do no good. I am but young in the art of fighting; I have never touched a foil; hut I despise you with your bragging—all of you !** continued he, looking at those the tumult had attracted to the spot; —“the Parisian is a coward to have insulted without a reason a mere child, and you are as bad to have allowed him to do it. Stand ! back cowards !” and he swept with his | sword the space around him. “Come boaster,” said the Parisian, I in a smothered voice, “your life is gone; follow me.” “I chose to go first,” replied Not bert, pushing him back; “and you shall follow where I please to go; and there I expect to leave you on your back. Take one second—only one; if any others come, they will answer for it to me. I mean to kill you alone, old vilian; here is my second, Thibaut. If he has not as much strong’h as courage, he is worth more to me,—he is worth you all, and I choose him to he respected. Now come.” “Better fencers than the Parisian have been overthrown befor now,” said a dra goon to his companion. There is a cot - script which has blood in him, or I aru much mistaken.” “Stop now Thibaut, stop,” said Nor bert, as they went along. How childish you are; it is my business. I could have chosen a more experienced second than either you or myself; hut 1 want vou to get accustomed to such things. Do not fear; I will fix him in one turn. You watch and sec how we will act. If he should kill me, do not write it home immediately; and if you mee t the young girl we saw just now, make the l>est of it to her, and arrange yourselves to gether—you or I, it is the same things
