Tho Journal of the Seige of s Pretty Girl- [ Transtated from the French. } THE THEORY OF THR CAMPAIGN. Not to offend our brave officers, the art of strategy is not entirely confined to the Treatise on Fortifications. Besieging doesn’t exclusively belong to the spec- tacled young gents of the Polytechnic School. The sieges of Troy, Rochelle, Belgrade, and Sebastopol are not the only great feats on record. There aro other wars less bloody, but which have neyer- theless their details of interest. Tn front of my window is a window al- ways shut. The curtains are of em- broidered muslin, lined with sky blue silk. It can’t be a doctor or broker who lives there. The veil has betrayed the goddess. The festooned muslin betrays & woman. The blue lining shows she's a blonde. A brunette would haye chosen red or yellow. When night comes, a fe- male servant closes ihe shutters hermet- ically, with the air of a convent keeper. Evidently a cavalry officer wouldn’t take such pains to preserve his charms. No! it’s 9 woman. The street is narrow. The houses are huddled together, one opposite the other, without a respectful distance, as if they were anxious to cause what would be pardonable after two hundred years of neighborhood. I would like to know ‘f my neighbor is insensible. Is she de- formed? Or, is she no better than she should be? Oh, that can’t be. Only the Madonna stays in her niche. The Cy'herean Venus with “Howing girdle hops on one leg around the garden. Well, [ have time, a free heart, a war- like spirit, and, gentle window, I will commence a sicge—but a siege loyal, dis- i crect, courievus, 2 frank and sincere war. | E won't enter her heuse, concealed in an j immense benbon, as the Greeks did in the siege of T 1 won't cabbage her bread t) take wer by famine as Louis iXIv k. 1 would rather throw sweet- meats end almonds on her balcony like Henri Quatre. Love's strategy has its , own laws; to morrow I will attack the , ason for a campaign—spring hs and a half old, summer is her dress wreathed with flowers, i of aroma; the diy exciting. OF THE SIEGE. The time is propitious. It’s as hot as June. Her window’s open, but I have , Scen only the servant. I could corrupt her at a small price, but that’s too much : like the Italian comedics. Besides, it ? won't do to encourage venality; in time of war they shoot spies and deserters. Ihave seized my first weapon, my !lorgnette. Through it I have visited ther apartment. I like it. The furniture is simple, a sign of distinction. The ‘piano is small, miniature Erard. A little pisno is a sign of smali hands. 1 jean sce a picee of lace work commenced. ‘Docs my beautiful work o’ nights like j Penelope? Is she making a pair of slip- i { pers for some Ulysses ? i FIRST HOSTILITIES. The weather is fairy-like, and the enemy has appeared at her window. Her eyes, what artillery! snd how the place is armed! She is elegant, gra- cious, but i have only seen her eyes, two Paixhan mortars, whose fire is incessant. She has only thrown on me one coup dail, and my heart has blown up like a powder magazine. A pretty woman’s look has more power than a Minie rifle. RECONNOITERING. After recovering from the first shock, T examined the besieged. She is hardly ness. She is a coquette sub-rosa, gay without remping, and she’s not a mar- ried woman! The slippers have no pro- prietor !! Ak! she has shut the window, but I can sce her fascinating nose behind the curtain. The enemy is on the alert— the day is not lost. AMBUSCADE. There has been a movement all this afternoen. They have brought in can- dies, plants, bouquets. These roses and lilies indicate a fete. Quick, the almanac! I must know her name, and how they call her Paradise. It is the 9th ef April, Saint Jule’s day. Her name is then Julie, a name half Jewish and half modern. One of those vulgar names ladies of distinction like so well. Since I know her name, I am no longer a stranger ; I can write chansons and anograms on her, my nymph Egeria has come out of her wood. It is night, and the moon has silvered the houses with its shining rays. She has appeared at her window, cold, imposing, severe, disdainful of my mute adoration. S.e thinks herself freé in her disdain; but Cynthia, shining just over her head, gives her wholly to me. Thanks to the reflec- tion, her shadow has been thrown on my wall. Charming shadow, which Hoffmann has idololized! I have seen her fine fig- ure, her well-formed neck, her empress arm, her little hands. Ah! has she re- marked my sentimental folly? The shadow has disappeared, the window has| closed again, aud the moon looks at me} with mocking eyes. A FALSE RETRRAT. Let us change our tactics. Instead of attacking, let us resist, let us feign in- difference, barricade our windows. Half the day is gone. She is there. She looks out and doesn’t see me. She seems astonished. Bah! She is a woman and — > being prone wad to resume the offensive. A poor old beggar is sing- ing in the street. Julie goes to the _ dow. Together we throw him a sou. Our pieces of money roll away from him. We are obliged to show him in which direction they rolled. Julie smiles. Without wishing it, I have been her co- for he has a retert for THE WEEKLY STAR.

I have remarked that Julie loves vio- lets. I have procured thousands and placed them at my window ; I have ati- fied the air like a bouquet at the opera. She has noticed. The wind blows the perfumes from my window to hers, and vice versa. SCALING BY LIGHT INFANTRY. ga Lod charming auxiliaries ; their dumb language has an interpreter in every heart. They are faithful troops who die at their posts, but I want co- horts, Zouaves, bouchi-boutchouks, who will vex the enemy. I have found them hardy, sanguinary, invincible. A legion of birds are attracted by the violets ; some of them have flown on Julie’s win- dow. We feed them together. We have now one common family, our children. MY VOLTIGUERS HAVE SCALED THE Pi.Ace THE MINES. T have thought of having a lover of the time of Catharine de Medicis; I have cal'ed to my aid sorcery, that mine of platoniclove. Inmy libraryisa litt!c book exlied Secrets of the Great Albert ; I have sought the simpkst means of knowing her who loves mac. Bekold the receipt : “ Place at mid-day a mirror st the back of your chamber; open your wi - dow to the sun in its full ; sprinkle sal on the sun-rays, say ‘Adel Kabi’ three times, and your future will appear.” As that didn’t necd the blood of new born babes, uor vipers tongues pickled, nor four-leaved shamrock to complete the spell, I tried the sorcery. I placed my mirror before the sun, sprinkled the sali, and Julie appeared! It was not a mira- cle, it was she herself. Mirrors, which they call flatterers, are ungrateful, they do not respect the absent. OPENING OF THE BREACH. tis a religious fete to-day. Monks are moving in procession, and triumpha’ arches ate everywhere erected. Some genious have placed an arch which unites Jalie’s xindow withmyown. The priest s blessed us both on our knees. Lio has said ** Dominus vobisoum,” we have both replied, «Et cum spiritu two,” and cur voices have mingled in the sam> prayer. They have disappesr The rain falls. We must save the flowers which have been blessed. Jalie looke at my necktie, and say tim- towards yourself, mxdam ”” sulic smiles. She draws in the flowers, and with them f note, en avorel, 2 taration, which 3 placed amid the I wrote as follows: *«T love you with a pure and holy love. Do you allow it? Do you repulse it? A sign will signify. If I am odious or ridiculous, threw the flowers into the street.” Why do I tremble! a breach? ene Have I not ma le THE EPIDEMIC. She has not thrown away the flowers, but she has shut the window. I am then°an intruder. I have taken away her liberty, her air, her sun. I have menaced her with famine—I! What to do? IT am mad. I have a fever. I know not what I am doing; but they have placed mecn my couch. [I talk of my flowers, of my sorcery, I am in a de- lirium! THE TREATY OF PRACE. T have been sick a long time. My mother has watched me like a saint. return to life, but feeble as a child. ‘More sieges?” my mother asks. *: More dangerous views from your win- dow ?” «Oh, mother,” said I, «‘ the seige is raised. But my army of flowers, de- prived of water, is dead.” “ You calumniate your troops. Ina loyal war, the victorious enemy leaves the soldier his sword, the flower its per- fume, ths bird its song. Your soldiers have had the benefi of an honorable cap- itulation.”” * You jest 2” “No. As a mother, having the sixty years necessary for a diplomatist, I have called together a congress. I have opened conferences, I have arranged the proto- cols, I have discussed the tees.” **T don’t understand.” «* Having to treat with a noble power. I have contracted with her an diiencs offensive and defensive.” “ What would you say ?” “Look! behold the interview of the two emperors.”” I gazed. By my bedside stood Julie. She extended her small hand and said, ‘‘Monsieur, here is one half of a bouquet which belorgs to you.” Bemarxsie Sacaciry or a Voc.—The following instance of the remarkable sa- gacity ofa dog is vouched for by the owner of the animal. A tleman re- siding in Lynn, has, for a long time, Vis- ited Boston daily on business, at times assing over the Turnpike, and frequent- ly over the Eastern Railroad, always ac- companied by his deg. On Wednesday last be came to Boston but during the day the dog become separated from his mas- ter, who returned home without him. A few hours after the gentleman reach:d home the dog also returned. A gentle- man who went to Lynn in the afternoon train, siates that he saw the dog -enter the cars at Boston, and snugly ensconce himself under a seat as if to avoid the vigilant eye of the conductor. On the cars stopping at West Lynn, the dog jumped out and hurried home with sll possible speed, OAs a singing master wes oa bis way to fulfil an engagement in a town in ee dionnastionts valley, a few days ago, he unfortunately - to — as he was a over 3 ditch, throwing the false teeth from his mouth into water from ten to fifteen feet deep.
