The raw youth, arriving in Paris from the country, had been offered by a chance acquaintance a place as servant in a gentleman's family, and after signing an engagement had found himself bound for eight years to serve His Majesty, in one of his regiments of foot.

Barnes, why did you not make him a clerk in the bank, and save him from the humiliation?" "Humiliation! why, he is proud of it.
