The Goat of Boutain- I Niers.
IN EPISODE or THE SIEGE OE emus.
:While the German army enclosed in
'js iron grasp the most brilliant and
leasure loving city of Enrope, termmg a, moment its epicurean pop-
ulation. mto a people of heroes, the - en-
vironeoncesogay andsobeautifulhadex-
'enced a change almost as orean
est of the detached :villas were de-
serted, or occupied by the enemy, and.
the tillages whose regular inhabitants
haa either taken refuge in Paris or fled
to a distance were repopulated by a sin-
gular assemblage of individuals, belong-
ing to sill classes of society, and bound
together only by the tie of a common
nationality, and the necessity of fin.cling
a shelter and providing for their daily
ants.
The hamlet of Boulain-villiers, which
had been thus 'abandoned had. receivea
an entirely new colony, and its beauti-
ful avenue carpeted. with turf of the
most lovely green, had all the appear-
ance of a, camp. As long as the season
would permit, cooking was carried on in
the open air, and group e were constant-
ly to be seen surrounding the fires and
exchanging accounts of their mutual
misfoxtunes.
A painter of Ileum bearing -the Eng-
lish, or rather Scotch, name of Mac-
. Henry was aenong these refugees. He
had brought with him from Colombes,
where he had before resided, a remark-
ably beautiful white goat called. Fan-
ehette. This creature, to which her
Mader was mach attached., figures in
most of his pictures. Light and grace-
ful as a gazelle, she is represented some-
times cropping delicately the green
branches :of the b;edgerows and bushes
sometimes entangled in a maze Of brier
roses, their pink blossoms and green
leaves falling around her in elegant gar-
lands, and contrasting well with the
snowy whiteness of her skin.
Fanchette was a universal fa.viefite;
and few there were at Boulainvilliers
who would not have deprived them-
selves of a morsel of the bread some-
times so hard. to procure, that they
might reserve a mouthful for the goat
which, however, the saucy thing would
only accept from her particular friends.
The grace and rare intelligence of the
animal frequently relieved the miseries
of the siege, AR were surprised at the
wonderful'. education her master had
succeeded in giving her. He had dmn
taught her something of his art; and it
was really extraordinary to see the sen-
sible creature busily employed in ar-
ranging pebbles on the ground, so as to
form a rude resemblance to a human
profile, often grotesque enough, but still
&Leh as one occasionally sees on human
shoulders; and looking at her work ore
could not help thinking that after all the
lower animals are, perhaps, not so far
inferior to us as vie suppose.
The ant with which Fanchette select-
ed from a bunch of flowers each one that
'was. named. to her was reelly marvellous.
Roses, wallflowers, tulips, camellias
were pre/aptly chosen from the number,
and it was rare indeed that she made
the least mistake. Two centuries ago
they would have burned. the poor beast
for a witch.
The exercise which she preferred to
all others donsisted in catching on her
horns a series of brass rings which her
in threw up ha the air. This she
did with the greatest address; and, when
she had. got a dozen or so of them en-
circling her brow like a diadem she
would begin jumping and galloping and
shaking her head to make them jingle,
till, over excited by their rough music,
she woad end by dancing in the most
fantastic style on her hind feet, till
tired at length with her exertions, she
would bound toward her master and
throw the rings at his feet.
Among those who had found. refuge
in the hamlet was a child of 5 years old
called Marie, the daughter of a peasant
whose farm had been burned, by the in-
vaders. She was an object of general
interest in the little.- colony on account
of her gentle manners, and the sweet
but suffering expression of her -pale in-
fantine features. year or two previ-
ously she had. been so severely bitten in
the arm by a vicious dog that the arra I
had to be amputated, and her delicate
constitution had never recovered _the
shock. Fauchette soon took a great
fancy to the little girl; and the doctor
having advised, her to be fed as much as
possible upon milk. MacHenry offered
that of the goat. It was beautiful to
see the pleasure with which the affec-
tionate creature took -upon herself the
office of nurse, and the avidity with
which the child. sucked in the grateful
nourishment which wee giving her new
life. Fancliette became every claymore
and more attached to Marie. She rarely
left her, except when wanted by her
master for some new study; and when
it was ended, and MacHenry set her at
liberty, saying; "Now be off to Marie,"
with what joy the creature bounded
away, and. how rejoiced was the little
one to have again by her side her dar-
ling Fanchette ! Nestling her head
der mi -
the child's hand a world of loving
things were interchanged in their mute
caresses. •
It once happened that a lady having
in her hand a crown of artificial ivy, ,
which she had. picked up somewhere
probably the debris of a school fete dur-
lag happier times, placed it on the head
of little Marie. Faueliette, rising on her
hind legs, examined it with comical
curiosity, and, having made up her mind
on the subject, scampered off to, an old
tree close by, around. whose trunk the I
real ivy twined in thick and glossy
wreaths, butted at it with her horns,
twisting it round them and tearing elf
long trailing garlands. She then ran
back in triumph to throw her treasures ,
at the child's feet, eaving as clearly as
if she had the gift of speech: "Look. .
This is better than the coarse imitation
they have decked you with; this is the
real thing!"
Another day the child. was looking at
herself in it mirror, and Fanchette im-
mediately began to do the same. The
expression of sadness and wonder in her
eyes seemed to say so : " Why
axe Maria and, I so different? If I were
like her I could speak to her, and then
we should love each other still bet-
ter!"
One evening Maria, who was sitting
by her mother's side, began to fidget
and complain of an uneasy sensation in
her back. Her mother busily engaged
with some work, and thinking the child
was only disposed. to be troublesome,
examined it 'lightly; and told her to
be quiet; but the poor little thing con-
tinued to _complain, when the mother
getting out of temper, gave her a sharp
slap. kanohette, who was present .at
this time, presented her horns in a
threatening attitudeto the woman; and
gentlyStroked the shoulders of the lit-
tie-oneevith her foot. At he sight of
the dumb animal's eloque t appeal the
woman began to relent, an calling the
child .to her, examined more easefully
the state of things; when she foaled, to
her horror, one of those large and pois-
onous eaterpillaxs called ill French
" promeeionnuires," which had. painful-.
ly irritated the delicate skin of the
child.
It was about this time that MacHenry
-Continuing his artistic labors in spite of
all the difficulties of the situation re-
solved on taking for the subject of anew
paper his goat Fanchette ;nursing the
little Maxie. Fanchette Rent herself
with her usual intelligence and, docility
to his wishes, and Marie was represent-
ed lying among grass and &avers with
her four -footed friend bending over her.
This picture, whieh was afterward re-
garded as one of MacHenry' e beseworks, •
obtained. the most signal success at the
Paris Exhibition of Mode -a Art—the
truthfulness of the design, -the fresh-
ness of the coloring, and t e grace of
the compositien being e - Rally strik-
ing.
But these bright autumx days aeon
passed away, and, many may recollect
the bitter cold of the sad. Christmas of
that dismal winter. Poor little Maxie '
suffered. so severely from it, that after a
vain attempt to recall some warmth by
lighting a 'fire of brushwood, the only
fuel that could be procured., her mother,
as a last resort, put her into her little
bed. ia , hope that by heaping , upon
her all the clothing she could procure
the child might regain a littleheat ; but
it was in vain; no heat came, and her
blood had almost ceasedto circulate iu
her frozen limbs. At this m.oneent Fan-
chette arrived, and., without waiting for
an invitation, sprangsupon the bed. It
was in vain they tried to driye her away
she only clung the closet te her body,
and soon restored her to etaxmth and
animation; . ' I ,
There was one among the temporary
inhabitante of Boulainvilliers for whore
Fanohette entertained an unmitigated
aversion; this was a knife -grinder of
the name of Massicault. His appear-
ance was certainly not calculated. to pro-
duce a favorable impression, forhis
features were repulsive and his expres-
sion disagreeable. A low forehead, a
• scowling eye, and a short, thickset fig-
ure were the principal physical traits of
this. personage; nor were :they redeemed
by those of his moral character. He
had for his constant. companion •a large,.
ill-favored bull dog with a spiked collar,
who seemed to share all the evil. in-
stincts of his Master. Every one won-
dered how the knife -grinder managed to
feed. this animal at a time i hen it was
so hard to find the merestnecessaries of
life for human beings—au that, too,
without ever seeming to dn a hand's
turn a work; for all day ong he was
lounging about, and. it was are .indeed
to hear the noise of his wl - el. When
any one—alarmed at tho breatening
aspect of the brute, who no r failed to
growland show his fangs when ap-
proached—asked his master to -call him
off, Massicault used only to reply with
an ill-natured laugh: He as not be-
gun,yet to eat such big mots ds as you •
but there's no saying what. is May do
one of those days !"
MacHenry was sorry th it his goat
partook of the general dis ke to this
man. He would have rat ier wished
that she should have tried lliy her win-
ning caresses to soften his rti eged nature
and bring him to love the gentle crea-
ture that had gained all oti'or hearts;
but, as we shall see in the tie -lull things
turned. out very differently.
On one of the laet fine clays of that
sad year, a crowd having galiered.round
her while her master was amusing him-
self by exhibiting her inteni. once in the.
selection of the fruit and liewers ho
named, in which she acquit eel herself
with her usual sagacity, Mac enry bade
her to fetch an apple. Thar :were some
still hanging on a tree in a i eighborieg
garden, but ittetead of nun ing off , as
usual to the well known piano, she went
right up to the knife grinder andpush-
ingviside with her paws the skirts' of his .
coat; displayed two pockets scuffed with -
something, which. theerowd, amid. shouts
of laughter, declared to be stolen apples.
• The 'artist tried, to call off his goat, and
the man drove her away . with curses,
but twe vigorous peasants inutiediaely
laid hoid. of him and insisted on seeing
the contents of _the suspicions pockets,
which proved to be as all had supposed
apples stolen from the tree in question.
•The discovery only increased. the.rage of
Massicault, who swore by the most fear-
ful oaths that he had never touched one
of them, and that the apples found in
his postession had been given to him by .
a friend. Though none hal aced him,
several, in order to get rid of a disagree-
able affair feigned to do so, . ICI he was.
i
finally let off ; but many th tight they
had thus got a clue to the au horship of
several robberies recently committed to
the prejudice of different members of the
little community.
This misadventure excited in the
knife-arindet a violent hatred against
Fandiettai, which was heartily shared
by his worthy companion ti e bull -clog,.
The latter was an- object of •penial ter-
ror to poor little Marie. Fanchette
seemed to understand:the fe rs of the
child, and, whenever the dog approach-
ed. her she would lower her oms, as if
to protect her nursling am defy her
enemy. These demonstratio is of valor
were generally successful, the dog
slinking off with glaringeyes and droop-
ing tail.
. One day Fanchette nestled up close to
her master, putting her foot upon his
arm,and having succeeded in milting his
attention, ran off to a part- cular spot
where she stopped to sniff th grasnand
then ttotted back, she renew ed several
times the same manoeuvre. 184H -wiry,
persuaded that something ex iraordinary
must be the matter rate au 1 followed
her. When she reach'd th spot, put-
ting aside like a terrier clog t e long her-
bage with her feet, she di -played to
view a leather pocket book vhich the
eatist picked up and examin d. An in-
stant sufficed to show that- i belonged
to the knife -grinder, and it.: contents
proved that this man was on4 of the nu-
merous spies the Germans ha' constant-
ly and everywhere in their s nice. He
found besides in this pocket iook, push-
ed under the coveting, the p eture of a
child, one of those common pilrotographs
which have no other merit turn a cer-
tain reseMblance.
The very day that this packet book
was found a- frightful scene took place.
Little Maxie was sitting on at low stool
eating a morsel if bread which she was
sliming with Fanchette, When the bull
dog.chanced t pass. The animal, stop-
ped for a mom nt and -looked at her •
then, as if eve mine by the temp -taken,
he suddenly d rted at her and snatched
at the bread. He was prevented,' howi
ever, by the g at, and. with a toss of her
horns she sent he ferocious beast sprawl-
ing to some ditance -' but he was -only
ostuushantehid..s.nroept ue,
s so,
urt ; and. fuxhi
he s yang upon the,
poor goat, seiz d. her by the,, throat an
shook her NA. h rage. . Marie uttete
piercing shrie s, and MacHenry, havin
got hola of a , tick, ran to the rescue
A sharp blew n the head caused. the
. dog to lose his grip on poor Patchett '
and turn against his new enemy, seizin
him by the shoulder; • but a peasant
-coming to thelassistance of the artist
forced the dog tto let go ;' and, limping
off and growth g, he at last took refuge
behind his m sten who all the while
had been air u moved spectator of the
scene. ' I,•
Great was tie general grief. at the
-sight of poor F nchette motionless on the
grass., bleeding rofusely 'from the wound
in her throat; and strong the indigna-
tion excited by the ferocity of the dog
and. the conduct of its brutal master.
Many were the threats muttered against
both; and 'there is• little :doubt that the
dog at least woluld. soon have paid the
penalty he delseryed had Fanchette's
wound been m rtal ; 'but -on examination
it was -found t be less serious than it
appeared, and or master's care of her
soon effected a complete- _cure. The in-
habitants of t e hamlet, however, re-
solved not to it slip the opportunity for
getting rid, of t e obnoxious knife -grind. -
or.. This ill -fa ored individual wasre-
ceived whene rer_ he showed himself
with cries of "l3e off, and quickly, too,
and be tbankfi4l we do net throttle your
wretch of a do fent."
Unable to ee istthe general. storm of
indignation, tlJe man and his worthy
companion were about t�. take.their de-
parture; but they had hardly reache,d
the entrance of the village when they
were met by a partybringing along with
them an orphan boy of about 0 or • 7
yeats of age, whose parents had been
found murdered some days previously
in one of the. detached cottages of the
neighborhood, Which some still ventur-
ed to inhabit. 1 The child, at the sight
of the knife -grinder and :his dog utteeed
a loud cry and coveredhin eves with his
hands.
"What. is ths matter, my poor little
fellow?" asked one of the by-standers.
At length; 'he was able with difficu.ity
to reply, his w rds interrupted with deep
sobs: " That -
they that killed my mother ! I saw it
laan ! tclog It was
hat
all from behinil the curtain in which I
was hid." .
Every one loeked in aptonishment at
his neighbor, not knowing whether to
believe the strange assertion of the Child
when .11.1acHemy produced the pocket
book and informed those around. him of
its contents. The chid immediately
cried out that it was h0 . mother's, and.
had arty doubt remained it would have
been dispelled by looking attire portrait
that was contained in it, for its reseni-
blame to the poor • little. boy- was strik-
ing.' .
In. presence Of such proof there could
be no hesitation, and twe men immedi-
ately sot off in pursuit of the fugitive,
but he had already got a considerable
advance, and fear lent him wings, -so
that before they could reach him he had
gained the protection ef the German
outposts.- He did. not succeed, however,
in evading the fate he merited, for short-
ly. aftet the news arrived that the
wretched man had. fence into the hands
of a detachment of Frenqh francs-tirears
and having been convicted of being con-
cerned in the 'burning 6f a farm, was
immediately condemned and shot.
MacHenry adopted -the orphan bey,
and never had cause to ' repent of his
generous action. "I have now two
children;" • he used gayly to say; "for
mygentle intelligent Fanchette is almest
as dear to -me as if she were a 'human
creature."—Chamber's JOttrnal.
An Indian Husbandle Ven-
geance.
About three weeks &go an Indian
--known. as Sam lost his squaw Mary
through the blandishments of another
Indian named Jim, for Whom she left
Sam, taking some of his household
goods. The loss of- these goods added
much to the wrath of the victimtzed
Sam, who raised such a commotion
among the Plate braveri about it that
they -determined to teach the frail Mary,
and by her example the rest of the fe-
male -part of the tribe, a lasting lessen.
Jim tried to screen her from the gather-
ing storm by hiding her,. but they soon.
found her, and about fifty of the tribe,
including Jim and keYeraf squaws, 'es-
corted her to the hills just back of Wee
shoe Lake last Saturday eVening, where,
safe from Caucasian. intrusion, they
made a huge pile of sagebrush, and,
after tying her firmly in tile middle of
it, set it on fire. They then,commeec-

behind them; one of them is well knoin

was a, dog along \yid. 'ina, with. croped

The Story of a Nose.
M. Arago, the French eta.tesman and
nephew of the autronoiner, is, in spite
of his 65 years, a Very handsome man.
He has a large nose, of which he is
somewhat proud. A short time ago he
was travelling by train to Vereailles,
when a child, who was in the same car-
riage, and who had watched Arago for
some time with dilated eyes, began. to
cry. In vain did the child's mother,
Arago, and another Senator, endeavor
to calm the perturbed. juvenile. The
pOor mother was in despair, and, as
the shrieks grew more and more pierc-
ing, Arago felt bound to interfere and
see what he could do.
He said. to the child, "what ails you
my dear? Are you afraid of me!' I
don't look very naughty, do I?"
Tshosu,:confused, and said:
addressed., the child sobbed out.
