VISIONS.
Visions come and go again,
Leaving in their airy train
J u s t a r h y t h m , soft and low.
Of their movement) to and fro—
Something like an old refrain.
'Tis tho way with summer rain;
'Tls the way with joy and pain;
'Tis the way with ail we ken
Of the lives of mortal men;
J u s t ' t o come, then go again.

as a 'grenadier.
W h e n h e rosisted w e
seized h i m , u n d r e s s e d h i m , a n d forced
him into an immense uniform which
completely swallowed him up.
I disguised myself as a cuirassier, and
Sorioul m a d e us execute some very complicated moneuvers.
T h e n he exclaimed, " A s we are n o w
soldiers, w e m u s t d r i n k like soldiers!"
A punch was lighted,
swallowed;

" I a m s u r e I h e a r s o m e o n e w a l k i n g in

Sorieul got u p as well as he could, and
-cried o u t , " A r o b b e r ! w h a t l u c k ! " a n d
began to troll the "Marseillaise," "To

W e d a s h e d t o a p a n o p l y of a r m s a n d

Y o u will laugh when I tell you Sorieul
forced h i m d o w n u p o n his knees, saying,
" C o n f e s s t o ( h i s g e n t l e m a n , for t h y last.

H o r r i b l y f r i g h t e n e d , t h e old s c o u n d r e l
began
to cry " H e l p ! help!" with such
s t r e n g t h a n d vigor w e w e r e forced to

C a r r i e d a w a y b y h i s e x a m p l e , I fired

flintlock, and sent forth a tiny spark,
to m y great surprise.
T h e n Le Poittevin said in grave tones,
" H a v e we the right to kill this man?"
Sorieul in great astonishment cried
out, " C e r t a i n l y , w h e n w e h a v e condemned h i m to death!"
" B u t , " continued Le Poittevin, "they
don't shoot civilians. They are always

This a r g u m e n t appeared conclusive.

" W h a t are we going to do w i t h this

L e Poittevin, touched with tender
pity, declared h e looked t e r r i b l y exh a u s t e d . T r u l y t h e old fellow h a d an

T h e n Sorieul b e c a m e affectionately paternal. He untied him, placed him in
