SMitt glisttllann. ; \ ■ THE 6AXXU0H. It happened in tbe coarse of tha tbir- < ty year war, that Gootnlvo de Uordava, ■who commanded the Spauisb troopi, 1 then overrun ing the Palatinate. foond it I nceaaaary to poucis binceTf of a little 1 walled village, called Ogersheim, thai 1 lay la hie way. Oq the first intelligence ' of hie approach the Inhabitants fled to ' tha Mannheim ; and when Gonsalvo nt I length drew near, and enmmoned .thq t place to snrreader, there remained wits " 1 in the walls only a poor shepherd and ' bis wlfo, the letter of whom having that ! morning brought a little infant into ! ' tWs world of misery, was unnble to j leave bar bed, and her husband of course * e staid with her. 1 Tlie anxiety and distress of the poor j 1 man can be easily imagined. Fortu oately, however, he possessed bfth cour- 11 age and shrewdness ; and on (be spur , 0 of the moment bethought himself of a j * scheme for escape, which after cmbrac- 1 iog them both, he hastened to {lot iuto | execution. vTbc inhabitants hating run off in n ; F tremendous hurry, bad left almost oil , ' their property at bis disposal ; so he I J" bad no difficulty in finding what was re- j h quial l o for his purpose, vix : a complete 1 change of -dress. > Having first arrang- " ed his lower man ib military guise, he \okni away bit shepherd's hat, which he replaced with a huge helmet, "a ll world to wide;" be buckled a long sword 8 to his side, threw a goodly ilquk over '' his shoulders, stock two enormous pis- 1 tola in bis belt, and potting ou booU, no thick ia tbe soles and high in the ll heels that they lifted him about hair a foot from tbe ground, ha fastened to ^ them a prodigious pair cf Jingiiag spurs ¥ which were tbe fashion of the time. * Thus seeeutrcd, ho forthwith betook P i(iRS acc«uircu, ub iuim»iui wiuu>

himself «to the wsfls^ ltd tesnTng "whb a pompous air on hit sword he listened cooly to the herald, who advanced to tnmmoa tbe village to surrender. "Friend," snid onr hero, as soon ns the herald had concluded his speech, "tell your commander that though 1 have not yet made up my mind to snrreader at all, I may possibly be Indnced to do ao, provided he agree to tho three following conditions, ia which I shall make no abatement whatever : — first, tbe garrison mast be allowed to march out with military honors ; second, tbe lives and property of tbe iobibitanta most be protected ; third, they most be allowed the free exercise of the Protestant religion." The herald immediately replied (bat " -such preposterous donditioos cct.Id rut for a moment be listened to ; and added that the garrison was known to be weak, and concluded by again demanding the instant surrender of the place. "My good friend," answered tbe shepherd, "do M« be too rasb. I advise yoa to Inform your general frem me, that nothing bnt my desire to avoid bloodshed could make me think 'of surrendering oa eay terms whatever ; and please to add, that if he dors not choose to agree to those I here stated, he will gaiu possession of the towa only at the pB.K.1 ...Id ; for I swear to yon by tbe feUh of an honest man and of a christian, as well ea the bosor of a gentleman, that tbe garrison baa lately received a reinforcement that be little dreams of." Bo nying, the shepherd lighted bb rt", »4 p?"*4 away with an air of tbe meat cocsummwle nonchalance. Goifloaaded by'thit appeasaoce of boidaen and eeewrftf, the hecmid tboogbt it and state to Gonsal- . I .

| lenient determination was announced by I J tbe herald to tho shepherd, who only j ! vouchsafed tp my In reply : "I find your commander is n man of j sense." He then left the walls, let down the j drawbridge, deliberately opened the ; gates, and allowed the. 8fkanish troops.; poor into the town. Surprised el | seeing no one in the streets bnt a strange | fellow, whose caricatnre of a ' military costume hung opon him like ! patchwork, Gonealvo began to inspect j treachery, and seizing tbe shepherd, dc- j mended to know where tbe gerrisoo ! j "If your highness will follow me, I I I will show you," answered the rustic. j "Keep by my stirrup, then," exclaim- ! j ed Goosslvo "and^on tbe Ivast symptom 1 j that yob mean to Binqgy me, I (hall | tend n bullet through your hedrt." i ; "Agreed." said our -friend "Follow i ' Spaniards 1 for I swear by the word ' of an honest men and a Christian, as - | welf as tbe honor of a gentleman, that 1 I the garrison will offer no injury." i I He then placed himself by Uonsaho's j I stirrup, and, followed ,by the troops, j i passed throngb several silent and deser- J 1 ted streets, till at length, turning into a | lane, be slopped before a menu-looking | I house, and having prevailed on Gonsalvo 1 to enter, be led him into a small room, S where lay his wife, and her little boy j beside her. \ # j ( "Noble general," said he, pointing 1 to the former, "this is our garrison ; < end this," be added, taking his son In arms, "is the reinforcement of which I told you." Aware now of tbe real state of matters, the absurdity and clevernera of the ( trick moved even Spanish gravity, and , Gonaalvo gave free course to bis mirth. | Then taking off a rich gold chain, i which decorated his own person, he < passed it round the neck of the infant. I

*1 .Permit am to offer this mark of ray ' 1 esteeto," he said, good-naturedly, •• for ' tha valiant garrison of Ogerrbeim. By ' jhe hand of a soldier, I eovy yon the j possession of each a reinforcement ; and , you must let me present you with a j purse of gold for the use of tbe young j recruit " He then stooped down and kissed the ! ■ mother and her boy, and quitted the I bouse.
