Translated from the French expressly for the Locomotive. THE LITTLE CORPORAL. In 1809 there was in the 12th regiment of the line, then in garrison at Strasbourgh, a sergent named Pierre Pitois, who came from that half savage, half civilized portion of Bourgoyne,known under the name of Morvan, and who his comrades knew only as Pierre, (Avale-tout-con). He was brave without exception, and as they said in his regiment, as firm as steel. Always the first to enter and the last to quit the battlefield, he passed as loving but two things in the world,' the smell of burnt powder and the whistling of shells. Thoso who had seen him in battle, with his ardent eye, his firm lips, the moustache standing out, his marines swelled, making into the thickest of the fight, were ao customed to say that the carnage was the ball of Pierre, Avale-tout-con. One day our friend Pierre sent a letter to his Colonel, asking leave ot absence to go and take care of his old mother, who was dangerously sick. He added that his father, 78 years of' age, a paralytic, was not able to give any aid to his poor wife. He promised to return as soon as tho health of his mother was re-established. The Colonel replied to Pierre Pitois, that from moment to moment the regiment expected orders to enter upon a campaign, that in consequence he could not hope for permission. Pierre said nothing more. ' Fifteen days passed over; a second letter went to the Colonel. 1 Pierre announced to his Colonel that his mother was dead, chagrined in not having her son near her ; as she was a good and tender mother, she wished to have given him his last blessing. Pierre solicited, at this time, again leave of absence for one month. He stated that he could not make known the motives that

induced him to ask this permission : it was a family secret. He supplicated earnestly his Colonel not to refuse him this grace. Tho second letter of Fierre was no more successful than the first; only tho Captain of the poor soldier said to him, Pierre, the Colonel lias received your letter. He is sorry at the death of your old mother, but he cannot grant the request that you, ask, for to-morrow the regiment leaves Strasbourgh. Ah I the regiment leaves Strasbourgh, and where does it go, if you please ? To Austria. We ara going to visit Vienna, my brave Pitois. We are going to fight the Austrians ; this gives you pleasure, docs it not ? It is there that thou wilt give it to them, my brave. Pierre Pitois replied not. He seemed plunged in profound reflections. The Captain took him by the hand, and shaking it vigorously : ah I there, say then ; , are you deal to day? I have announced that before eight days you will have the happiness of fighting the Austrians, and you do not thank me for this good news! and you seem to have the air of one that does not understand me ? It's well, my Captain, I have understood you perfectly, and I thank you for your news. I find it excellent glorious. So, then, my Captain, there is no means of obtaining this permission ? - ' " ." What, are you insane ? a permission ? on the eve of entering upon a campaign ? I do not tliink about it We are about to enter upon a campaign, on such occasions permissions are not granted. It is not even asked for. It is just ! it is not even asked for. It would be regarded as cowardice. Also, that which I wish, I shall ask for no more, I will pass it by. And thou wilt do well. The next day the 12th of the line passed into Germany. The next day Pierre Pitois, called Avale-tout-con, deserted. ; '' Three months after, during which the 12th line had gathered on the fields of Wagram, an ample harvest ' of glory, made a triumphal entrance in Strasbourgh. Pierre Pitois was ignominiously brought to his corps, as a deserter. . j Soon a council of war was held. Pierre Pitvis is accused of having deserted, at the time his regiment was going to meet tne enemy. This Council of war presented a singular spectacle. Ot one part there was an accuser who said, " Pierre Pitois, you, one of the bravest soldiers of the army ; you, in whose breast shines tho star of honor ; you, who has never incurred.a punishment, nor a reproach from your superiors ; you have seen fit to quit your regiment, to quit it, almost on the eve of battle, not without it is hoped, having some powerful motive. This motive, the Council wishes to know, for we would be happy to be able, if not to acquit you, (we ought not do that nor wish it,) but at least, we can recommend you to the mercy of the Emperor.' On his part, the accused replied, I have deserted without reason, without motive ; I repent not. If it was to do over again, I would doit. I have merited death: condemn me. Then came witnesses who said, Pierre Pitois has deserted, we know it, but we do not believe it Others said, Pierre Pitois is insane, the council cannot condemn a lunatic. It is not to die, it is to the asylum you must send him. But little was required to cause the adoption of this last part, for there was none in the Council who did not consider the desertion of Pierre Pitois as one of those singularities beyond human possibilities, which none understand but all admire. Notwithstanding the accused showed himself so clear, so logical, in his perseverance in demanding condemnation, it was with audacious frankness that he proclaimed his crime, repeating, without cessation, that he did not regret it The firmness that he gave proof of, seemed so much of a bravado, that there was no other way to do there was no refuge for clemency. The penalty of death was pronounced. When the condemnation was read to him, Pierre ritois sighed not He was urged vehemently .to ask for grace, but he refused. ' As each divined, at the bottom of this affair there was some strange mystery. It was decided that the execution of Pierre Pitois should be suspended. ' The condemned was reconducted back to tho military prison. When it was announced to him as a special favor, ' he had sixty-two hours allotted to him in which to present his petit ion of grace, he shruged his shoulders and remained silent It was about the middle of the night which preceded the day fixed for his execution. The door of his cell opened softly on its hinges, and an under officer of the young guard advanced to the edge of the camp bed upon which slept the condemned, and after ha ving contemplated him for sometime, he awoke him. Pierre I'ctois opened his eyes with astonishment, and looking around him. "Ah!" said he, " it is then the hour! even so f . , " No, Pierre !" replied the young officer, " it is not the hour yet, but it will soon sound." " And what do you wish of me '" M Pierre, thou knowest me not, but I know thee. I have seen thee at Austerlitz, and there thou conducted thyself as a brave man. Since then, Pierre, I have conceived for thee a lively and sincere estimation. Arrived yesterday in Strasbourgh, I learned of thy crime and thy condemnation. As the jailor of the prison is one of my relations, I have obtained from him the permission of coming and saying to thee, Pierre, lie who is going to die regrets often of not having near him some friend to whom he could open his heart, and confide some saintly duty to accomplish. Fierro, if thou consents, I will be that friend." ' " Thank you, my comrade," replied Pierre in a brief voice. " Hast thou nothing to say to mo !" - "Nothing?" .' " ' '; " AVhat 1 not a word for thy betrothed, for thy sister?" " A betrothed ! a sister ! I never had them." " For thy father?" " I have none now. Two months ago he died in my arms." " For thy mother ?" " For my mother ! said Tierre, in a voice that submitted immediately a profound alteration. For my , mother! Ah I comrade, pronounce not that name; I for that name, regard yon well. I have never pronotinced it in my heart without fcelin; myself moved as an infant. And in this moment it seems as if I j spoke to her." . I " And then !" ' ! " I would cry. And to cry is not manly." To cry, continued he with exaltation, to cry, when I have but a few hours more to live ; ah ! that would be too much heart" " Thou art too seyere, comrade. I believe I have, God be thanked, as much heart as any other, and I would cry without shame in speaking of my mother." " Is it true, said Pierre, shaking the hand of the young

officer with viracity, you, a man ; you, a soldier, and

you will not blush to cry. " In thinking of my mother ? certainly not She is so good, she loves me niuch, and I love her much also. " She loves you ! you love her ! Oh 1 then I desire to tell you all. My soul is full it must be relieved, and however strange may appear to you the sentiments that agitate me, you will not laup-h I am sure. Listen to me, then, for what you said awhile ago is trueone is happy, when going to die, to have a heart to relieve his heart. Do you not wish to have me ? And you will not lau;h at me i " I listen to thee, Pierre. The man who is going to die can never excite but commiseration and sympathy." " Know then, that since 1 have been in the world, there is but one person that I ever loved it is my mother. But her I have loved as they love not, with all that which was within of force and life. When auito little. I read in her eyes as she read in mine. I divined her thoughts, as she devined mine. For my heart she was me : for her heart I was hers. I have never had sweetheart or mistress ; I have never had friends. My mother was all to me. Then, when they called on me to serve under the flas. when they told me it was necessary to quit her, I was seized with a violent despair. I declared that if they must employ violence they could not separate me living from my mother. In one word, she who was a saintly and couragous woman, changed all my resolutions. Pierre you must go, said she I wish it I fell upon my knees, and told her, mother, I will go. Pierre she added, thou art a good son, and for it, I thank God ; but the duties of a son are not the only one that a man has to fill. Every citizen belongs to his country ; it calls thee ! obey ! Thou art going to be a soldier ; from this moment thy life belongs no more to thee, it belongs to thy country. If her inter est calls you, trifle not with it If God will ; that thou diest before me, I will weep for thee with the tears of my heart. But I will say, he has given thee to me, he has taken thee from me ; blessed be His holy name. Go then, and if thou lovest mo, do thy duty. Oh the words of this saint, I have retained them. Do thy duty, said she, for the duty of a soldier is to obey always and everywhere. Always and everywhere have I obeyed. It is to go straight before thyself in the midst of perils, without hesitation, without reflection. Those who have seen me marching thus before the balls said, behold I one who is brave. They should have said with more reason, behold I one who loves well his mother. One day I received a letter that in formed me that she was sick, the poor dear woman. I wished to go and see her. I asked permission ; they refused it to me. I recalled her last words : " If thou lovest ine, do thy duty. I was resigned. Soon I knew that she was dead. Oh I then ! my head, my brain, it turned. At all prices, notwithstanding all, I wished to return to my country From whence came this desire so active, so impetu ous, of reseeing the place where my mother had died. I am goincr to avow it to you: ana since you have a mother, since you love her, since she loves you, you will understand me. We peasants of Morvan, are men simple and credulous. We have neither the instruc tion nor the science they have in cities, but we have prejudices that the people of the cities call our superstitions. It is immaterial as to the word ; superstitions or prejudice, we have them, and very skillful must he be who can remove them from us, as they are a part of our existence. One of the prejudices to which we are the most attached, is that which attributes to the first flower that blooms on the earth of a grave, a vir tue that the one who is the first to gather it, is certain of never forgetting the dead, and of never being forgotten by them. . A faith very dear and very beautiful 1 with it, death has nothing frightful, for death, without forgetfulness, is but a sweet sleep it is no more than repose alter long fatigue. 1 v This flower I wished to see bloom. . I wished to gather it I deserted I after ten days long and laborious travel, 1 came to my mother s grave. Ihe earth seem ed yet fresh : no flower had appeared. I waited. watched. Evtx weeks past by, and then, at the first rays oi a nne clay, Jl saw open a little flower ot azure blue. It was one of those called in the city mvosotis, and which we name remember me. In gathering it I shed tears of happiness, for it seemed to uie that this flower was the soul of my mother; that she had felt my presence, and under the form of this flower, she had returned and ottered herself to me. There was notliinp; to detain me longer in the coun try, for my father had soon followed my mother to the grave, and since 1 had gathered my flower so precious. what did I want I remembered my mother's council ' do thy duty 1 I sought the guard, and told them I hart aesertea, arrest me.r ' : Now I am going to die, and if, as you have assured me, I have in you a friend, I will die without regret, for you will render me the service that I desire of you. This flower that I went to gather at the peril of my life, it is here ; in this sachet that you see suspended over my heart Promise me that you will watch so that no one shall separate it Irom me. It is the lien that unites me to my mother, and if I thought that it should be broken, I would die without courage. Say, promise me to ao that which 1 ask, t . " I promise it" " Ah! your hand, that I may press it on my' heart! You, so good 4o me, I love you ; and if God, by an eflect ot Ins power, gives me the second time hie, I would consecrate it to you. The friends then separated. . : i The next day, as they were on the place designed lor the execution, and already the fatal sentence read, low rumors, and then loud cries ran along the ranks of soldiers. " The Eniporer !" it is the Emporer ! vive L'EmpreurF .- . lie arrived, descended from his horse, then, in his brief and rapid step, went straight to the condemned Pierre. , , -t . Pierre regarded him,' and was about to speak, but was struck with an indiscribable stupor.' " l ierre, said the Jmneror, remember thou thy words of that night ? God gives thee a second life ; consecrate it, not to me, but to France. She also is a good and Worthy mother. Love her as thou hast loved the other." Ho went away, and immense clamours of love saluted him. . f Some years from that time, Pierre, who was the Captain in the old guard, fell on the field of Waterloo, mortally wounded. He found enough of vigor, to cry, in his last breath, with a firm voice, vive L'Empreur ! vive L'France ! vive ma mere. WIFE-TAMING IN BOSTON. ' From The Boston Herald. Mr, Fitzgerald resides in Congress street, and is married to a woman who takes snuff and is fond of spinning streetrvarn. Yesterday Mrs. F. announced her intention of visiting Mrs. Dunlap and getting her ciauy supply ot rappee. JUr. i. issued positive injunctions against such a course, but as the wife insisted the husband adopted a novel method of keeping her at home, lie got a chain, about an inch in diameter, wound it around her ankle, and then passed the ends through the handle ot a flat-iron aDd secured them by means of a heavy padlock. . Putting the key in his pocket he walked off to his work and chukled at his originality. Mrs. F. considers herself just as smart as her "old man," and as soon as lie had left the house she took one of her aprons, half a dozen towels, and a string, and managed to confine the flat-iron to her knee, and thus heavily laden, she walked out, got her snull, and was quietly putting it into a box. when some person discovered the chain, and gave information at the sec ond station-house, and Lieut lutcomb, with great delicacy, relieved the wife of her extra burden, although he was compelled to smash the lock with a hammer in doing so. Mr. Fitzgerald will have to invent another method, and if he succeeds he can make a fortune in teaching his secret to others, a la Itarey. West Point. The Board of Visitors at West Toint suggest a change in the mode of appointing the cadets. The appointments arc now made on account of friendship, and many of the persons appointed are not qualified by previous training or education in the instuction. Hence, comparatively few of them graduate, and government is put to a great unnecessary expense for the maintenace of such persons, without receiving any advantage for the outlay. The change suggested is, to throw the appointment open to competition, the field of competition embracing the whole Congressional district Whenever a vacancy occurs in a Congressional district everv one desirous of fillinoit should have a chance, and the appointmeut should be made on account of his superior intelligence and merit
