w THE HEIGHT or soy“ ,é‘ffi‘ ANTONIO Di CARARA A PADUAN TALE He had already given his farewell to the old soldier, and was forcing his way through the snow. when he found himself followed by the contra- bandist. This hardy fellow, a native of the Tarentaise, had waited until he saw the Count’s resolution wrought to its height; the solid purse which had been shown during the treaty with the peasants appeared to him a matter which should not be carelessly consid- ered; and. with the intention of shar- ing in it, amicably in the way} of ser- vice, or if not in any other. way that might be effectual. he now proposed to join the Count as a guide. Carara was glad to find a companion. rough as he might be, and the travellers pushed forward vigorously. Two days‘ toil at last brought them within sight of the famous pass of the Brenner. and as his guide pointed it out to him in the distance, rising sharp and boldly among a wilderness of pre- cipes that seemed less a part of this world than the works of a former one, he felt a new pulse of hope beat high in his bosom. Night fell again; and, sleeping on the snow with no other canopy than a shelf of rock. and no other shelter than the stunted foliage of a wild pine, he felt a delight in rest. a \keenness of enjoyment even in his couch of snow and his pillow of stone, that he had never experienced in the Carara Pal- ace. Real hunger made the simplest food a. banquet, real fatigue made the rudest resting-place a couch of down. He had discovered what. the Roman tyrant sought for in vain in all his silken luxury,â€"a new pleasure. ’ He was on his (feet by dawn, and prepared to scale the mountains with a foot as elastic as their own. ichamois. But the contrabandist hung back. "\Ve had better not be too much in a hurry this morning." said he, point- ing to the pass, “for the old brute there is angry. Look how he raises up his bristlesl ike awild hour, and if we were but a league or two nigher, we should hear him howling and gnasl‘dng his teeth. \Ye must stay when: we are till the old savage is quiet.” The Count’s comprehension of this metaphorical displeasure was not aided by any further discussion. The contrabandist either would not, or could not, explain farther than by pointing to the pass, which now cer- tainly appeared to put on some resem- blance to the ridgy bapk of a wild boar, a phenomenon not uncommon in the mountain atmosphere, and which is I understood universally to predict a, storm. “The weather promises illbut my business admits of no delay. What is to be done in case of a tempest?" asked the _ Count. "Return to the eas- erneâ€"what else could be done?” ans- wered his companion, sullenly. "An- other league," said Carara, your pay shall be doubled." His guide hesitated, but surveying the Count's face of determination, and seeing him already striding onward through the snow-rifts, he at. length made up his mind and followed. As they reached the next ascent, the prospect was still more gloomy; the wind had lulled and except now and then a short sharp gust, there was a death-like stillness. Man, beast, and bird, had equally de- serted the region. Above, the sky stoop- ed almost to t'ho ridge of the hills, as if unable to bear its buri‘hen of snow and tempest. A single vulture, that. started from a pile of grey crags far above their heads, and continued sailing and wailing over them like an evil omen. made the scene of desolar tion still more desolate. Sleet began now to cover the few points of the rocks which the gusts had stripped. The air became intensely cold, and the wind rose, and blew in bursts, hol- low and melancholy: The guide again rcmonstrated. But Carara was not to be deterred by the elements. much less by the selfishness of a hired guide. He still strode onward, leaving the cont ra« I bandist to complain to the winds.~ The. tempest now palpably moved down the huge ravine. and its roar was heard long before its violence was near enough to be felt. The heavens and earth were rapidly “darkened by a livid and sepuichral shade as it. c:uno_ Everything seemed to quiver through the dense air: and the pinnacles, trees, and mountain paths,sltifted their pluc-, es to the eye as if they. wavered tnthe: storm. The sleet now thickened into snow, and the air became a cloud. through which it was impossible to see further than a. few yards. Curâ€" urn. felt a strange mixture. of despon-L dency and determination filling his mind. [low or where to advance he knew not; he was INJSSt‘SSE‘d of some- thing approaching to a melancholy conviction that. the night. and the hour were to be his last; yet. the original vigour of his soul was roused. and be resolved never to return but successful, or a. corpse. The contra- bundist. however He had formed his determination, too, but. it was to return to the cascrne. and yet not to return without being a richer man than when he left. it. The Count was still within his reach. though wrapped in a snow sheet, that swept round him like ashroud. The contrabandist “as not a man to suffer any embarrassment where his object lay straight before him. He had no appetite for the hazard, and was not inclined to use any unnecessary cere- mony on the occasion. He struggled forward to where Cararu stood gaz- ing through the storm. and demanded the double pay that had been promis, ed. "Complete the league,‘ was the uns- wer. “or guide me to the summit of the pass and you shall have every du- cat in my imsession. "And that is to be your last speech to me f“ interrogated the fellow, with a ferocious look. "My last and only one,“ said the v . itself into his aims. But the astonish- .' . ment was equally great, if more grave. .' :ly demonstrated. on the side of the ' i Imperial officer. He gazed on Carara‘s :countenance with a look of fixed in- credulity. However, the recognition was ' at last complete. The friends sat down .10 table together. and their singular zescapes formed. a topic which kept. 'them in conversation for half the ~night. The sudden departure of the Emperor was now explained. " The Beâ€" Count, “and now onward." publican French had exhibited syrup. “Your last. then, be it I” exclaimed; toms of renewing their attacks on Lom- the ruffian, and, plucking a pistol hardy, of which the Monarchical French from his bosom. fired it at Carara’sihad in every age been so fond. The head. The shock stunned him. and he 3 time pressed; an insurrectionary move- fell. The contrabandist, conceiving ,1 ment had been organised. in the north that he had effected one part of his,of Italy. for the open purpose of as- purpose, proceeded to accomplish the other without loss of time, and springâ€" ing forward, began to rifle the sup- posed corpSe. But his victim had fall- en on a. fragment of one ofthe rocks disengaged by the whirlwind, the footâ€" ing was slippery, and while the assas- sin was engaged in the double operaâ€" tion of steadying his steps and sear- ching the Count's pockets, Carara reâ€" turned to his senses; his quick appre- hension comprehended the whole at. once; he started on his feet and flung his entire strength into the blow which he struck his intended murderer. It was given with good intent, and was tremendous. The assassin sprang up- ward with the pain, reeled a few feet backward to the edge of the precipice, found the ground giving way with him, uttered a roar of despair. and threw himself at his full length. grasping the ground. The effort was convulsive but it. only prolonged his agony. The snow yielded with every grasp more and more; at eyery new struggle he approached closer to the dreadful de- clivity, until a. last despairing bound loosened the whole mass, and he went headlong. His yell rang in the air as he shot downwards. All was silence. He was shattered into atoms. The blood trickling from- Carara’s forehead recalled him from ‘gazing with horror on the depth where this miscreant had plunged, and told how nearly he had. run the chance of. lying beside him. But, as if all the evils of the day had passed with the ‘ last. breath of the treacherous guide, the air began to clear, the storm visibly slackened, and by one of those changes Iso frequent in the Alpine tract-s, the clouds rolled off, and a broad burst of sunshine gladdened earth and heavâ€" en. Even the violence of the wind had prepared his-"route, the road had been . partially cleared to the summit of the 'pass: the wild bare back of the Bren- , nor had lost its ominous elevation; and ’a long line of silver sparkling among :its piles of eternal granite, showed where the celebrated cascade of the pass poured down those waters, which so singularly divide themselves to the extremities of Europe, one-half of lthe stream splitting off to the Adige and the Adriatic, and the other to the Danube and the Euxine. l The pass was reached. Carara stood on the. summit of the Brenner, and when his eye glanced back over the frozen region, the kingdom of winter -â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€".â€"â€"____ â€"_â€"_â€"____.. -____._.. *â€" â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"._.___ ..â€"â€"._.__..__. ‘sisting a new invasion; and the Em- peror had gone at full Speed to Mil- ian. to smite the conspiracy by the ‘pmmptest measures in the power of the sword. " But this dress," he added. " may tell you my connection with the Court; you must. come with me to Mll- on; your memorial will be forwarded with increased influence, by being Put [into the imperial hands through me; land I shall have the satisfaction of re- paying. in the amplest manner, some portion of that debt of hoSpi'tality which I owe to the Count Carara." The Hungarian’s narrative of himself was succinct. He had been carried down by the. cavalanche, but had, like his friend, been cast into a cleft of the rock. which preserved him, though ac- tually buried under some fathoms of snow, until the peasantry, in digging away the wreck, had found him still breathing. Cure, an Alpine cottage, and the absence of all doc-tors, had restor- ed him; and having accomplished all the purposes of his Italian tour. he had returned to his former station of one of the staff and Colonel of the Roy- al Hungarian Guard. At daybreak the. friends were on the road to the fam- ous capital of the Lombards. If Carara’a spirit. had not been so deeply absorbed by the momentous na- ture of his missidn, his eye might have revelled long and richly among the Ilandscapes that lay before him as he ihurried along the Milanese. The flat- ness of the territory enfeebled it. to the spectator who has bmt just descended lfrom the grandeur of the Alpine am- phitheatre. But. the joyous profusion, the exuberance of colour, and produce 'of harvest and fruitage, and the a] most-extravagance of fertility that covers the Lombard plains, the whole outpouring of the cornucopia of corn, flowers, wine and oil, make the ap- proach to this noble city one of the most delicious banquets ever offered to the game of man. It was now in the full glow of harvest, robed in its autumnal glory. The land, from east to west. from north to south, was a vineyard. Thousands and tens of thouâ€" sands crowded every road to the cap- ital, with the produce of one of the most luxuriant harvests ever known even in those fields of plenty. Carara. little accustomed as he was to the lan- guage of that magnificent oriental de- votion. that high personification of feel- ings and impreSSions. which. in Scrip- ture, makes the mountains heave with "‘and v through WhiCh, he had toned: t1“? iI11“rjoy, the dew drop sweetness, and the .pressron on his heart; was gratitude valleys laugh and Sing. yet acknmu and wonder.

He wandered through , empty streets, which, but. the day before, were glittering with the train of u monarch. He gave a look of . bitter disappointment, as he passed the. proud old council-house where, but the 'day before, Francis had given audi- 'ence. to all, and received the petitions ‘of every rank of his subjects, with the fatherly kindness which had already so distinguished the reign of the "good lEmperor." Night fell on his contem- i plations, and he returned to the Swartz ,Adler with a spirit as dark as that isable emblem of the House of [laps- :burg. but as he sat at his solitary 31119:“. a new surprise was prepared for ‘him. A stranger. wrapped in a cloak, whose embroidery showed that its wearer was a man of rank. entered to 'discharge some of the. accounts re- maining after the departure of the Ern- peror. His voice struck Carara’s ear. He looked up. and. even under the en- ormous hat and plume of an officer of the Imperial staff. he recognised the friend whom he had given up for lost in the Tyrolese snows. The Hungarian stood before him. The enthusiastic and astonished Count instantly rose and threw him- pawcd in the- It. was soon developed. to _ The crowd of Im- ’ De- . lishment was on the road by daybreak. . the noble, ' the imperial livery flying in all diâ€" rections. gave evidence of the active business to which the stagnation of lthe good Court of Austria had been at length compelled. The march of troops from different points of the plain, all converging towards the city. showed the imperial sense of in- security; the rattle of baggage-wag- gons and fieldâ€"guns, the gaIIOping of aides-de-camp, and the long lines of dust that marked the advance of more baggage-waggons, more guns. and imore troops, too distant to be more clearly discerned, told Carara that he was at last come into the centre of gthc whirlpool of power: the heart of lanxinus empire. the depth of the mine, iwhero all was explosive, and which. Eat. a touch might fling its whole. fear- ful charge in fire. and bloodshed upon .the land. 'H‘e had his cares still, but. his spirit had gained unconscious vigour from struggling. He felt the force that ev- ery mind gains from the. new sense iof an object. worthy to task all its powers. The noblest of women depend- ed on him for protection; the hopes of a noble house depended on him in his child; the revival of a great name rested on his activity and resolution: _and last. and not least, the retrieval lof his own sense. of dignity. the. recov- lery of his selfâ€"respect. the atonement -for those wasted years. wasted oppor- l 1 !and astonislunent: and which. in his ,generous remorse. he was determined lto compensate. if it. could be done by {the most. unhcsitnting sacrifice within 'th.n means of a human being. 3 His companion gave him full leisure ffor those meditations. for fatigue or his own thoughts kept him unusually si-ient. and during the approach to the city he scarcely spoke. The. flourish of! lithe drums and trumpets of a magm- ficcnt regiment of cavalry. which had just opened to let their equipage pass. at. last rousod the Hungarian. It was his own regiment of the Guard doing the h'mours to their colonel on the march. His eye brightened with the natural gratification of a soldier at the sight. Carara was not less delighted with so fine a martial display. The carriage was instantly surrounded by the officersâ€"compliments and congra- tulations wore offered on all sides, and the meeting ended by the colonel's mounting a charger. and with his friend ridian at the head of the regi- ment into Milan. A supper at their quarters concluded the day. It was of Course sumptuous. The profusion of the Imperial Guard was proverbial. The conversation was what might. be ex- pected from the elite of camps and courts, easy, various, and animated. Pleasure. travel, war, were touched on. even polities found their way among the topics. and the Italian, reared in a land of Spies, was surprised to find the fearless facility with which met- ters that would have shaken the souls of an Italian city with terror. were talked of at this brilliant board. within hearing of the whole train of imperial chamberlains. But among those men of grace and gaiety, their colonel shone conspicuous. He brought his admirable and almost universal knowledge to bear upon the most passing topic. and flash- ed a new light upon everything. Ev- ery great transaction of Europe for the 'last century seemed to have pass- ed in his presence; every peculiarity of every court of Europe was familiar to his taste for animated anecdote: ev- ery casual description was graphic; every acridental trait characteristic; every play of fancy keen. pointed, and luminous. Yet, with that fine tact. which marks the highest grace of ac- complished society, he repressed no one, he bore down none by excessive display; his chief skill was exerted in dfruWing out whatever latent animaâ€" tion was to be ifound in the circ18. and enabling eveer man to shine in turn. The Count’s Italian elegance required only this stimulant to show the na- tive lustre of a remarkably sensitive and brilliant mind. He kindled at the Hungarian’s flame, until he first equalled and then surpassed it. The conversation at length fell solely in- to their hands. No graceful condes- censton to the surrounding board. no dexterous appeal to their opinions or experience, could now draw them in- to the sphere of this perpetual vivid- ness. All were converted into listen- ers, but delighted listeners, The hours flew; all were equally excited. amus- ed, and admiring. The banquet closed at last, with an universal expression that the companionship which had thus gracefully commenced should not terminate with the night. Carara was sounded as to his inclination to lake servme in the Imperial troops. He had " nothing to disincline him, and much," as he frankly owned. ” to make the measure at once useful and gratifyâ€" mg.”"‘So be it,” said the Colonel, grasping his hand. The officers rose and embraced him. His name was en- tered at the instant on the books of their regiment, his memorial to the Emperor was dictated by the general voxce of the corps, and, on rising to take his departure. a general toast: to the health of the “Count. Carara, Corâ€" net of the Imperial Hungarian Guards." made the ancient hall ring. and proud- ly finished one of the most delightful and cheering evenings of his existence.

As the she of modern a‘rmies is in- creased tho average. height of fighting men is diminished. The Tageblatt of Berlin ascribes the reduction in the average stature of soldiers in modern armies to conscription, and says that in the German army it is now only 66.63 inches. in the British Army the height is 64.69 inches. showing the tall- ness of the average Englishman and iScotchmau. Fwnchmen and Spaniards are taken at 1.54 metres, Italians at. 1.55 metres. 61 inches, and the same mini- mum measurement is the rule in Aus- tria. The Russian minimum is 1.5-! metres. and in the United States it is 1.619 metres. 63.78 inches. in 1860. be- fore the beginning of the American civil war and before the general arm- mg of Europe, the average height of men. serving in the various European armies was as follows. given in inches: Italian. 65; Spaniard, 65.5; French. 66; Hungarian. 66.1; Austrian. 66.5; Bel- gian. 66.9 ;.

This is shown conspicuously in the case of Sweden. where the average height of new solâ€" diers between 18-10 and 1850 was 66 in- ches. 66.2 between 1850 and, 1860. 66.6 between 1860 and 1870, 66.8, between 1870 and 1880. and 69 between 1880 and 1890.
