The Austrians +were severely beaten, and the houses of the +village were set on fire by the cannon, and +all burned or torn down; the poor villagers +were driven from their homes, and thousands +of soldiers were killed or wounded, and left +to die on the ground; the Austrians tried to get away from the +French, but the furious soldiers of Napoleon pursued them with +their bayonets, or trampled them to death with their horses.</p> + +<div class="figleft" style="width: 75px;"> + <a name="p002-illus.jpg" id="p002-illus.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/p002-illus.jpg" width="75" height="219" alt="Side decoration" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>In the French army was a regiment of soldiers who were called +<i>guards</i>; they were all dressed alike, in blue coats and white +pantaloons, trimmed with crimson and gold: they were terrible +fellows to fight, and their enemies were very much afraid of + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[Pg 2]</a></span> +them, or they were always in the thickest of +the battle, clearing their way with the points of +their bayonets. While this regiment was pursuing +the Austrians, near the burning village, +one of the Guards, an old man, saw a sweet +little girl who could scarcely walk; her papa +and mama had been driven from their homes, +and her papa, who carried her in his arms, was +killed by the soldiers. Mary, for that was her +name, held up her little hands crying bitterly, +as she lay among the killed and wounded; and +the Old Guard, who was a brave but kind soldier, +pitied her, and took her in his arms, and +when the battle was ended, carried her to his +tent, and calling his comrades together, told them +of the little girl he had found; and no one knowing +who she was, or who her parents were, they +called her Mary, the Child of the Regiment, and +agreed to take care of her as well as they could. +Poor little Mary, she had no mama to undress her at night, and +make her a little bed, but the good old Guard, gave her some +of his supper and laid her down on some straw, for the soldiers +have no other beds in their tents; and after laying his coat +over her to keep her warm, and his haversack under her +head, she sobbed awhile, and fell asleep to forget the scenes of +that dreadful day. The next morning the old Guard awoke +little Mary, and washed her face, and combed her hair as well +as he could, for he had never taken care of a child in his life, +and was almost afraid to touch her with his hard and rough +hands, which he thought only fit to shoulder arms or charge +bayonet with; and after taking some dried meat and hard bread +for breakfast, he took her out to let her see the soldiers: they +were delighted with Mary, and many of them ran to take her +up in their arms, but she liked the Old Guard best, and wanted +to be with him, for she was afraid of their glittering muskets, +as she remembered how terrible they looked only the day +before, when the noise of their guns, and deafening hurrahs + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[Pg 3]</a></span> +had almost frightened her to death; but they were kind to her, +and she afterwards loved them very much, for she said the +whole of the twenty-first regiment was her father, as they called +her their child, and took care of her.</p> + +<p> </p> +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;"> + <a name="p003-illus.jpg" id="p003-illus.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/p003-illus.jpg" width="300" height="287" alt="A soldier saving Mary" title="" /> +</div> +<p> </p> + +<div> +<img src="images/p004a-illus.jpg" width="100" height="67" alt="Little Mary" title="" class="splitlt" /> +<img src="images/p004b-illus.jpg" width="73" height="109" alt="rambling" title="" class="splitlb" /> +</div> + +<p>The old Guard then took little Mary to live with him, and +she learned to sew and play with her doll, which he had bought +for her; and delighted in filling his canteen with water, and +polishing his epaulettes; she would also sing and dance with +him; which pleased him very much, for he loved no body but +her; as he was a great many miles from his home, and had + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</a></span> +marched all the way with +the army.</p> + +<p>At other times, when the +old Guard was not with +her, she amused herself +by rambling through the +fields gathering wild flowers, +or climbing the mountains +to see the army in +the valley below.</p> + +<p>At length the regiment was ordered +home, and took little Mary with +them. She suffered many hardships +in travelling so great a journey, for +sometimes she had to walk a long +way, or ride on a baggage waggon, +which was no better than a cart; and +in crossing the Alps, they frequently +slept on the cold ground, without any +fire or even their suppers; and as the +mountains were covered with snow +and ice, poor little Mary passed many +bitter nights and tedious days; and often thought of the peaceful +and happy home she had lost for ever; but the old Guard +was kind to her, and often carried her on his back or in his +arms a great way: and after many lone weeks, during which +time a great number of the poor soldiers died from suffering and +toil, they arrived in France.</p> + +<p> </p> +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;"> + <a name="p005-illus.jpg" id="p005-illus.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/p005-illus.jpg" width="300" height="330" alt="A soldier and Mary dancing" title="" /> +</div> +<p> </p> + +<p>By this time she had grown up to be a fine girl; she always +lived with the regiment, and had almost forgotten her papa and +mama, and the battle.

While the regiment stayed in France +they were quartered near a large city, where Mary used to buy +fruit and flowers for herself, and many things to please the Old +Guard. She was delighted with the town, and wished to live +there very much; upon which the regiment agreed to send her +to a boarding school, where she soon became acquainted with +many little girls who were amiable and kind, and much amused +with her stories about the army, particularly the battle and her +journey across the Alps.</p> + +<div> +<img src="images/p006a-illus.jpg" width="100" height="124" alt="Little Mary in a frame" title="" class="splitlt" /> +<img src="images/p006b-illus.jpg" width="55" height="60" alt="Bottom decoration of frame" title="" class="splitlb" /> +</div> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</a></span>During Mary's stay in the +town she became acquainted +with a school-boy named +Rodolph, who was in the +same class with her. He +was a sprightly, daring little +fellow, and on one occasion +threw himself between Mary +and a mad ox that was rushing +furiously along the street, +and would probably have +gored her to death but for +the courage of Rodolph, who +succeeded in rescuing her. +From this time Mary became +much attached to him, and they frequently +took many pleasant rambles together, and +the Old Guard called him a little corporal, +and said he might one day be an officer.</p> + +<p>Rodolph was the son of a poor widow, who +had lost her husband in battle, and was in +consequence reduced in circumstances, and +scarcely able to support herself and send him to school; but more +misfortunes came upon them, and they were at a loss what to +do to save themselves from the poor-house. Rodolph was proud, +and could not bear the thought of poverty and want, and was +determined to do something to relieve the distress of his mother.</p> + +<p>One day, while occupied with these thoughts, the fife and drum +of a recruiting party met his ears, and as a large sum of money +was offered to those who would join the army, and a military +life (as related by little Mary) he thought would be the most +likely to suit him, he stepped forward to the ranks, took his gun, +held up his head, and became a soldier in a minute.</p> + +<div> +<img src="images/p007a-illus.jpg" width="200" height="103" alt="Mary and" title="" class="splitrt" /> +<img src="images/p007b-illus.jpg" width="87" height="190" alt="a guard" title="" class="splitrb" /> +</div> + +<p>Rodolph rushed home to present the money to his mother, + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[Pg 7]</a></span> +who was almost distracted when +she heard what he had done; as +the regiment he had joined was +ordered into immediate service, +and he would soon be in all the +hardships and horrors of war, from +which she never expected he would +return.</p> + +<p>War is a horrible thing, and Rodolph +before long was seen upon +the field of victory; here he behaved +so bravely that he was made +a corporal, and afterwards a sergeant; +and at another hard fought +battle attracted the notice of his +officer, and was promoted to the +rank of Lieutenant.</p> + +<div class="figleft" style="width: 75px;"> + <a name="p008-illus.jpg" id="p008-illus.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/p008-illus.jpg" width="75" height="135" alt="Side decoration" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>But good fortune was in store +for the young soldier, in a way that +he would never have thought of; +it happened that the wife of the colonel of the regiment to +which Rodolph belonged, who had followed her husband to the + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</a></span> +field of battle, was surprised one day +while alone, by two stragglers from the +enemy who were proceeding to rob and +perhaps murder her; when very fortunately +Rodolph and another soldier who +happened near the spot, and drawing their +swords, attacked the robbers boldly; Rodolph's +comrade however received +a severe wound, and he was therefore +left alone to defend himself +and the lady against the ruffians; +but Rodolph was fearless and fought +desperately; he wounded the two +villains, and conveyed the lady in +safety to the tent of the officer.</p> + +<p>The colonel scarcely knew how to show his gratitude; +he gave Rodolph a large sum of money +which he immediately sent home to his mother, +and gave him also the command of a company of +soldiers, after raising him to the rank of captain.</p> + +<div> +<img src="images/p009a-illus.jpg" width="200" height="181" alt="Mary" title="" class="splitlt" /> +<img src="images/p009b-illus.jpg" width="81" height="114" alt="rambling" title="" class="splitlb" /> +</div> + +<p>How happy was Rodolph when he was thus raised from a +common soldier and many hardships, to independence and honour, +notwithstanding all the dangers and sufferings he had encountered. +Another officer was, however, very much displeased +with the good fortune which had attended one whom he considered +to be so much below him, and took every opportunity to +insult and injure him. Rodolph bore this for some time with +great patience, but at last the gentleman became so ugly and +troubled him so much, that he could not bear it any longer; and +the consequence was, though he knew it was very wrong, that +he was forced to fight a duel, or else be looked upon as a coward +by the rest of his companions in arms.</p> + +<p>They at length met to fight, and Rodolph not wishing to harm +his enemy, fired his pistol in the air, but the other taking advantage +of Rodolph, severely wounded him.

He repaired immediately +to the school, but all were +strange faces, and nobody seemed to know him or little Mary +either. He next visited the camp, but found the regiment had +gone back to Italy a long time since, and Mary of course was +with them. Poor Rodolph returned, with bitter disappointment, +and determined to join the army again, and die on the field of +battle. With this resolution, after taking an affectionate leave of +his mother, he returned to tent, and was soon again amid the roar +of cannon and the clash of arms; for Rodolph had been so long +surrounded by danger and the busy scenes of a soldier's life, that +the peaceful home of his boyhood seemed wearisome to him.</p> + +<p> </p> +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 200px;"> + <a name="p010b-illus.jpg" id="p010b-illus.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/p010b-illus.jpg" width="200" height="225" alt="Decoration" title="" /> +</div> + +<hr class="hr2" /> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[Pg 11]</a></span></p> + + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;"> + <a name="p011-illus.jpg" id="p011-illus.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/p011-illus.jpg" width="300" height="358" alt="Little Mary and Rodolph" title="" /> +</div> +<p> </p> + +<div class="figleft" style="width: 60px;"> + <a name="p012-illus.jpg" id="p012-illus.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/p012-illus.jpg" width="60" height="255" alt="Side decoration" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>We now return to little Mary, who was at school, making +friends of every one she became acquainted with, and carefully +studying her lessons, and most always at the head of her class. +On entering the room one morning, and looking round, she +saw that Rodolph was not there. He staid away the next day, +and the next; when Mary heard he had been seen in company +with some recruiting soldiers, and she trembled for fear he had +gone with them. She immediately hastened to the camp, and + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[Pg 12]</a></span> +almost the first thing she saw was Rodolph, +with his musket shouldered, and the perspiration +streaming down his cheeks, while +the rough, harsh voice of an old corporal +ordered him instantly to his quarters.</p> + +<p>Mary waved her hand to him, but he did +not see her. The tears rolled down from +her eyes, as she turned from him—for she +knew the hardships he would have to suffer—and +hurrying home, threw herself in +the arms of the Old Guard, and wept as +though she had lost her only friend. The +next day she heard of his departure, and +went to her studies, with the hope that he +might return and spend some happy hours +with her once more.</p> + +<p>After the regiment had stayed a long-time +in France, it returned to Italy again; and +coming to a beautiful village, the Old Guard +told Mary it was the place where the battle +was fought, and showed her the place where +he found her. Mary could not remember the +spot nor any thing else which she saw, for +it was a long while ago, and she was a very +little girl at that time. The houses which +had been burned down were all built up +again, and the little boys and girls were all +playing about as though nothing had ever +happened. On the arrival of the soldiers, they all ran to look +at the Guards and hear the drums.</p> + +<p> </p> +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 300px;"> + <a name="p013-illus.jpg" id="p013-illus.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/p013-illus.jpg" width="300" height="376" alt="Guards taking leave of Little Mary" title="" /> +</div> +<p> </p> + +<div class="figleft" style="width: 70px;"> + <a name="p014-illus.jpg" id="p014-illus.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/p014-illus.jpg" width="70" height="126" alt="Side decoration" title="" /> +</div> + +<p>It soon became known that a young lady was with the regiment, +and the story of her and the Old Guard was told to almost +every one, and that she once lived in that beautiful village, and +was found on the battle-field and carried off by the French soldiers. +It was not long before the story of little Mary was told + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[Pg 13]</a></span> +to a lady, who lived in a beautiful mansion or villa near the +quarters of the regiment. Her husband, who was an officer, was +killed in battle, and her little child lost in the crowd of people +and soldiers who were trying to save themselves, on that terrible +day the French soldiers came to fight the Austrians. The dead +body of her husband was found, but nothing was ever known of + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[Pg 14]</a></span> +the little child. The more she thought +of the story of Mary the more she thought +of her own little girl; and ordering her +carriage directed it to be driven to the +camp; where she found the tent of the +Old Guard, and inquired for little Mary. +When the lady saw her she was surprised, +to see such a beautiful girl with +the soldiers—for Mary was now a young +lady, and had been many years with the +regiment. She asked the Old Guard +many questions concerning the battle; and heard how +she was found on the field, surrounded by cannons, +and horses, and killed and wounded soldiers; that +she was crying bitterly, and sat by the side of a dead +officer. The lady heard the Old Guard, and wept while he was +telling the story, for she began to think that Mary was her long +lost little girl. But when the Old Guard brought the dress, and +a necklace and locket which she had on her neck, all of which +he had carefully kept, and showed them to the lady, she cried +for joy, and clasped Mary in her arms; for it was indeed her little +Mary; and she kissed her over and over again. The dress +was the same she had worn on the morning of the battle, and +the necklace was a present from her papa, the officer who was +killed; and the letters on it were for her name, which was +Mary St. Clair. The Old Guard was surprised and delighted to +know that little Mary was an officer's daughter, and that her +parents were so rich and great; but the tears came in the old +soldier's eyes when he thought she must leave him; and Mary +could not bear the thought of parting with him forever. But +Mrs. St. Clair, Mary's mother, was determined they should not +be separated, when she heard how kind the Old Guard had been +to her; and, after procuring his discharge, invited him to live +with them. The party at length set out for the villa, and the +soldiers of the Guards took leave of her with tears in their eyes, +and rushed from the ranks to kiss her for the last time.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[Pg 15]</a></span></p> + +<p> </p> + +<div> +<img src="images/p015a-illus.jpg" width="200" height="227" alt="Mrs. St. Clair showing" title="" class="splitlt" /> +<img src="images/p015b-illus.jpg" width="123" height="61" alt="Mary her home" title="" class="splitlb" /> +</div> + +<p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Mary was delighted +with her ride, but more +pleased with her beautiful +home, and the splendid +apartments, and the +costly furniture. Mary +was immediately introduced +to many young ladies and gentlemen, and soon became +one of the liveliest and most beautiful women in Italy. The +Old Guard dressed himself in his best uniform, which he would + <span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[Pg 16]</a></span> +never exchange for any other dress: for although Mrs. St. Clair +wanted to have him dress like a gentleman, he always refused, +saying he had always lived and was determined to die a soldier. +Not long after this, a great Ball was given by some of the +nobility, and all the officers of the army, far and near, were +invited. The assembly was brilliant, and imposing; the bright +uniforms and gay dresses glittered by the light of chandeliers, +and music and festivity seemed to delight them all. As Mary +was leaning on the arm of the Old Guard, she noticed a young +captain of infantry continually gazing on her, whose face appeared +familiar. He stepped forward and mentioned her name, and in +an instant they were in each other's arms; it was Rodolph. +The wars were ended, and in travelling about the country, he +had accidentally received an invitation. As soon as Mary entered +the room, he remembered her, and after making himself known, +enjoyed her society for the evening. The Old Guard died at the +villa, and Mary and Rodolph were married, and lived at the village +the rest of their lives.</p> + +<p> </p> +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 200px;"> + <a name="p016-illus.jpg" id="p016-illus.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/p016-illus.jpg" width="200" height="267" alt="Decoration" title="" /> +</div> + +<hr /> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[Pg 17]<br />[Pg 18]</a></span></p> + +<h3>PHILIP J.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements.

To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/37638-h/images/a001-illus.jpg b/37638-h/images/a001-illus.jpg Binary files differnew file mode

J. COZANS, PUBLISHER, + 107 NASSAU STREET, + CORNER OF ANN. + + + + +[Illustration] + +LITTLE MARY. + + +Not many years ago a terrible battle was fought between the soldiers of +Napoleon Bonaparte and the Austrians, at a small village in Italy. The +Austrians were severely beaten, and the houses of the village were set +on fire by the cannon, and all burned or torn down; the poor villagers +were driven from their homes, and thousands of soldiers were killed or +wounded, and left to die on the ground; the Austrians tried to get away +from the French, but the furious soldiers of Napoleon pursued them with +their bayonets, or trampled them to death with their horses. + +[Illustration] + +In the French army was a regiment of soldiers who were called +_guards_; they were all dressed alike, in blue coats and white +pantaloons, trimmed with crimson and gold: they were terrible fellows +to fight, and their enemies were very much afraid of them, or they +were always in the thickest of the battle, clearing their way with the +points of their bayonets. While this regiment was pursuing the +Austrians, near the burning village, one of the Guards, an old man, +saw a sweet little girl who could scarcely walk; her papa and mama had +been driven from their homes, and her papa, who carried her in his +arms, was killed by the soldiers. Mary, for that was her name, held up +her little hands crying bitterly, as she lay among the killed and +wounded; and the Old Guard, who was a brave but kind soldier, pitied +her, and took her in his arms, and when the battle was ended, carried +her to his tent, and calling his comrades together, told them of the +little girl he had found; and no one knowing who she was, or who her +parents were, they called her Mary, the Child of the Regiment, and +agreed to take care of her as well as they could. Poor little Mary, +she had no mama to undress her at night, and make her a little bed, +but the good old Guard, gave her some of his supper and laid her down +on some straw, for the soldiers have no other beds in their tents; and +after laying his coat over her to keep her warm, and his haversack +under her head, she sobbed awhile, and fell asleep to forget the +scenes of that dreadful day. The next morning the old Guard awoke +little Mary, and washed her face, and combed her hair as well as he +could, for he had never taken care of a child in his life, and was +almost afraid to touch her with his hard and rough hands, which he +thought only fit to shoulder arms or charge bayonet with; and after +taking some dried meat and hard bread for breakfast, he took her out +to let her see the soldiers: they were delighted with Mary, and many +of them ran to take her up in their arms, but she liked the Old Guard +best, and wanted to be with him, for she was afraid of their +glittering muskets, as she remembered how terrible they looked only +the day before, when the noise of their guns, and deafening hurrahs +had almost frightened her to death; but they were kind to her, and she +afterwards loved them very much, for she said the whole of the +twenty-first regiment was her father, as they called her their child, +and took care of her. + +[Illustration] + +The old Guard then took little Mary to live with him, and she learned +to sew and play with her doll, which he had bought for her; and +delighted in filling his canteen with water, and polishing his +epaulettes; she would also sing and dance with him; which pleased him +very much, for he loved no body but her; as he was a great many miles +from his home, and had marched all the way with the army. + +[Illustration] + +At other times, when the old Guard was not with her, she amused +herself by rambling through the fields gathering wild flowers, or +climbing the mountains to see the army in the valley below. + +At length the regiment was ordered home, and took little Mary with them. +She suffered many hardships in travelling so great a journey, for +sometimes she had to walk a long way, or ride on a baggage waggon, which +was no better than a cart; and in crossing the Alps, they frequently +slept on the cold ground, without any fire or even their suppers; and as +the mountains were covered with snow and ice, poor little Mary passed +many bitter nights and tedious days; and often thought of the peaceful +and happy home she had lost for ever; but the old Guard was kind to her, +and often carried her on his back or in his arms a great way: and after +many lone weeks, during which time a great number of the poor soldiers +died from suffering and toil, they arrived in France. + +[Illustration] + +By this time she had grown up to be a fine girl; she always lived with +the regiment, and had almost forgotten her papa and mama, and the +battle. The old Guard had never tried to find any of her friends, for +he thought they were all killed when the village was destroyed; at any +rate nobody had ever enquired for her; and they had no hopes of +finding out who she was or who her parents were. While the regiment +stayed in France they were quartered near a large city, where Mary +used to buy fruit and flowers for herself, and many things to please +the Old Guard. She was delighted with the town, and wished to live +there very much; upon which the regiment agreed to send her to a +boarding school, where she soon became acquainted with many little +girls who were amiable and kind, and much amused with her stories +about the army, particularly the battle and her journey across the Alps. + +[Illustration] + +During Mary's stay in the town she became acquainted with a school-boy +named Rodolph, who was in the same class with her. He was a sprightly, +daring little fellow, and on one occasion threw himself between Mary +and a mad ox that was rushing furiously along the street, and would +probably have gored her to death but for the courage of Rodolph, who +succeeded in rescuing her. From this time Mary became much attached to +him, and they frequently took many pleasant rambles together, and the +Old Guard called him a little corporal, and said he might one day be +an officer. + +Rodolph was the son of a poor widow, who had lost her husband in +battle, and was in consequence reduced in circumstances, and scarcely +able to support herself and send him to school; but more misfortunes +came upon them, and they were at a loss what to do to save themselves +from the poor-house. Rodolph was proud, and could not bear the thought +of poverty and want, and was determined to do something to relieve the +distress of his mother. + +One day, while occupied with these thoughts, the fife and drum of a +recruiting party met his ears, and as a large sum of money was offered +to those who would join the army, and a military life (as related by +little Mary) he thought would be the most likely to suit him, he +stepped forward to the ranks, took his gun, held up his head, and +became a soldier in a minute. + +Rodolph rushed home to present the money to his mother, who was almost +distracted when she heard what he had done; as the regiment he had +joined was ordered into immediate service, and he would soon be in all +the hardships and horrors of war, from which she never expected he +would return. + +[Illustration] + +War is a horrible thing, and Rodolph before long was seen upon the field +of victory; here he behaved so bravely that he was made a corporal, and +afterwards a sergeant; and at another hard fought battle attracted the +notice of his officer, and was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. + +But good fortune was in store for the young soldier, in a way that he +would never have thought of; it happened that the wife of the colonel of +the regiment to which Rodolph belonged, who had followed her husband to +the field of battle, was surprised one day while alone, by two +stragglers from the enemy who were proceeding to rob and perhaps murder +her; when very fortunately Rodolph and another soldier who happened near +the spot, and drawing their swords, attacked the robbers boldly; +Rodolph's comrade however received a severe wound, and he was therefore +left alone to defend himself and the lady against the ruffians; but +Rodolph was fearless and fought desperately; he wounded the two +villains, and conveyed the lady in safety to the tent of the officer. + +[Illustration] + +The colonel scarcely knew how to show his gratitude; he gave Rodolph a +large sum of money which he immediately sent home to his mother, and +gave him also the command of a company of soldiers, after raising him +to the rank of captain. + +How happy was Rodolph when he was thus raised from a common soldier +and many hardships, to independence and honour, notwithstanding all +the dangers and sufferings he had encountered. Another officer was, +however, very much displeased with the good fortune which had attended +one whom he considered to be so much below him, and took every +opportunity to insult and injure him. Rodolph bore this for some time +with great patience, but at last the gentleman became so ugly and +troubled him so much, that he could not bear it any longer; and the +consequence was, though he knew it was very wrong, that he was forced +to fight a duel, or else be looked upon as a coward by the rest of his +companions in arms. + +They at length met to fight, and Rodolph not wishing to harm his enemy, +fired his pistol in the air, but the other taking advantage of Rodolph, +severely wounded him. It was sometime before Rodolph recovered, but he +did at last, and by earnestly entreating the officers to save the man +who had thus acted treacherously towards him, he escaped a severe +punishment which he otherwise would have met with. The noble conduct of +Rodolph filled him with gratitude; he asked his forgiveness, which was +instantly granted, and they became the best of friends. + +[Illustration] + +After the war was over, the army returned to France, and great was the +joy of Rodolph at the thought of once more beholding his mother, and +to think he had now the means of rendering her comfortable for life. +On entering the town he flew to the home of his parent, for he had +been away a long while; and he was so altered with his splendid +uniform, bright sword and epaulettes, that his mother scarcely knew +him; but her joy at once more seeing him, knew no bounds. + +[Illustration] + +Rodolph had been home but a short time, when the thoughts of his +little companion would not let him remain long without trying to see +her. He repaired immediately to the school, but all were strange +faces, and nobody seemed to know him or little Mary either. He next +visited the camp, but found the regiment had gone back to Italy a long +time since, and Mary of course was with them. Poor Rodolph returned, +with bitter disappointment, and determined to join the army again, and +die on the field of battle. With this resolution, after taking an +affectionate leave of his mother, he returned to tent, and was soon +again amid the roar of cannon and the clash of arms; for Rodolph had +been so long surrounded by danger and the busy scenes of a soldier's +life, that the peaceful home of his boyhood seemed wearisome to him. + +[Illustration] + + +[Illustration] + +We now return to little Mary, who was at school, making friends of +every one she became acquainted with, and carefully studying her +lessons, and most always at the head of her class. On entering the +room one morning, and looking round, she saw that Rodolph was not +there. He staid away the next day, and the next; when Mary heard he +had been seen in company with some recruiting soldiers, and she +trembled for fear he had gone with them. She immediately hastened to +the camp, and almost the first thing she saw was Rodolph, with his +musket shouldered, and the perspiration streaming down his cheeks, +while the rough, harsh voice of an old corporal ordered him instantly +to his quarters. + +[Illustration] + +Mary waved her hand to him, but he did not see her. The tears rolled +down from her eyes, as she turned from him--for she knew the hardships +he would have to suffer--and hurrying home, threw herself in the arms +of the Old Guard, and wept as though she had lost her only friend. The +next day she heard of his departure, and went to her studies, with the +hope that he might return and spend some happy hours with her once more. + +After the regiment had stayed a long-time in France, it returned to +Italy again; and coming to a beautiful village, the Old Guard told +Mary it was the place where the battle was fought, and showed her the +place where he found her. Mary could not remember the spot nor any +thing else which she saw, for it was a long while ago, and she was a +very little girl at that time. The houses which had been burned down +were all built up again, and the little boys and girls were all +playing about as though nothing had ever happened. On the arrival of +the soldiers, they all ran to look at the Guards and hear the drums. + +[Illustration] + +It soon became known that a young lady was with the regiment, and the +story of her and the Old Guard was told to almost every one, and that +she once lived in that beautiful village, and was found on the +battle-field and carried off by the French soldiers. It was not long +before the story of little Mary was told to a lady, who lived in a +beautiful mansion or villa near the quarters of the regiment. Her +husband, who was an officer, was killed in battle, and her little +child lost in the crowd of people and soldiers who were trying to save +themselves, on that terrible day the French soldiers came to fight the +Austrians. The dead body of her husband was found, but nothing was +ever known of the little child. The more she thought of the story of +Mary the more she thought of her own little girl; and ordering her +carriage directed it to be driven to the camp; where she found the +tent of the Old Guard, and inquired for little Mary. When the lady saw +her she was surprised, to see such a beautiful girl with the +soldiers--for Mary was now a young lady, and had been many years with +the regiment. She asked the Old Guard many questions concerning the +battle; and heard how she was found on the field, surrounded by +cannons, and horses, and killed and wounded soldiers; that she was +crying bitterly, and sat by the side of a dead officer. The lady heard +the Old Guard, and wept while he was telling the story, for she began +to think that Mary was her long lost little girl. But when the Old +Guard brought the dress, and a necklace and locket which she had on +her neck, all of which he had carefully kept, and showed them to the +lady, she cried for joy, and clasped Mary in her arms; for it was +indeed her little Mary; and she kissed her over and over again. The +dress was the same she had worn on the morning of the battle, and the +necklace was a present from her papa, the officer who was killed; and +the letters on it were for her name, which was Mary St. Clair. The Old +Guard was surprised and delighted to know that little Mary was an +officer's daughter, and that her parents were so rich and great; but +the tears came in the old soldier's eyes when he thought she must +leave him; and Mary could not bear the thought of parting with him +forever. But Mrs. St. Clair, Mary's mother, was determined they should +not be separated, when she heard how kind the Old Guard had been to +her; and, after procuring his discharge, invited him to live with +them. The party at length set out for the villa, and the soldiers of +the Guards took leave of her with tears in their eyes, and rushed from +the ranks to kiss her for the last time. + +[Illustration] + +[Illustration] + +Mary was delighted with her ride, but more pleased with her beautiful +home, and the splendid apartments, and the costly furniture. Mary was +immediately introduced to many young ladies and gentlemen, and soon +became one of the liveliest and most beautiful women in Italy. The Old +Guard dressed himself in his best uniform, which he would never +exchange for any other dress: for although Mrs. St. Clair wanted to +have him dress like a gentleman, he always refused, saying he had +always lived and was determined to die a soldier. Not long after this, +a great Ball was given by some of the nobility, and all the officers +of the army, far and near, were invited. The assembly was brilliant, +and imposing; the bright uniforms and gay dresses glittered by the +light of chandeliers, and music and festivity seemed to delight them +all. As Mary was leaning on the arm of the Old Guard, she noticed a +young captain of infantry continually gazing on her, whose face +appeared familiar. He stepped forward and mentioned her name, and in +an instant they were in each other's arms; it was Rodolph. The wars +were ended, and in travelling about the country, he had accidentally +received an invitation. As soon as Mary entered the room, he +remembered her, and after making himself known, enjoyed her society +for the evening. The Old Guard died at the villa, and Mary and Rodolph +were married, and lived at the village the rest of their lives. + +[Illustration] + + + + + PHILIP J.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/37638.zip b/37638.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..5845f05 --- /dev/null +++ b/37638.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
