"Oh! another patient," thought the Doctor; "these soldiers are careless fellows often get into scrapes. Yes, friend, I'm at your service."

We will do all for you we can and fight to save you at any time. * The Indians at Stockbridge all join with us and some of their men have enlisted as soldiers and we have given each of them a blanket and a ribbon, and they will be paid when they are from home in the service, and if any of you are willing to enlist we shall do the same for you. * Brothers, if you will let Mr.

I opened it, and found myself face to face with twelve voltigeurs of the Versailles army; commanded by a lieutenant, who ordered the soldiers to search the house and shoot any one wearing a uniform.

Look there, sir commandant look there at your soldiers. They came here indifferent to me they leave as my friends; and if they can do no more, they will pray for me."
Schwarzenberg for that very reason had the suburbs of Berlin and Cologne burned down, thus laying the city open to assault; from Saxony, also, the Swedish general Stallhansch advances upon Brandenburg, and all is in a fair way to encircle the Mark in the flames of war.
