Germany was torn by internal factions and ravaged by foreign armies when for thirty years the torch of devastation never ceased to blaze, nor the groan of misery to ascend on high, a skirmish took place near the village of Rammenau, in Upper Lusatia, between some Swedish troops and a party of the Catholic army. A subaltern officer who had followed the fortunes of Gustavus was left on the field severely wound ed. The kind and simple-hearted villagers were eager to render him every aid which his situation required, and be neath the roof of one of them, a zealous Lutheran, he was tended until returning health enabled him either to rejoin his companions in arms or return to his native land. But the stranger had found an attraction stronger than those of war or home, he continued an inmate in the house of his protector and became his son-in-lav. The old mans other sons having fallen in the w-ar the soldier inherited his simple possessions, and founded a family whose generations flowed on in peaceful obscurity until its name wras made illustrious by the subject of the following memoir. The village of Rammenau is situated in a beautiful and well-cultivated district, diversified by wooded slopes and watered by numerous streams.
