GENEROSITY OF NAPOLEON -TRUE STORY
DURING the campaign of the great Napoleon Bonaparte in Italy in 1796, an incident occurred which showed that he could be generous, as well as stern, and brave.
It was during the night after the repulse of the Austrians at Arcola, a small borough in Lombardy, that the General was walking taking a survey. As he was the General was walking through his camp and taking a survey. As he was on his way, he noticed a sentinel asleep. Instead of waking him, he took the soldier's musket lightly from him, and, going on guard, waited till some one should relieve him. After a time the soldier woke up. Great was his horror and surprise on seeing the General under whom he was serving pacing up and down the beat! He exclaimed with terror, 'Bonaparte, I am lost!' The good-natured General replied smiling: 'Be easy, my friend; you are a brave man, and deserve some sleep. But next time wait for a better chance.'
