"They have forgotten there is something in the world I love better than sister, wife, or children: that is Italy, 'Viva l'Italia!'" Then turning towards the galley-slave guards, who instead of soldiers were ordered to shoot him, he pronounced the single word "March!" A quarter of an hour after, he fell pierced by six balls. Charles-Albert had now become one of the family of sovereigns in the Holy Alliance; and, like the Pope, like the King of Naples, like Francis IV., and like Ferdinand VII., his hands too were stained with the blood of his people. There was, at that time living at Nice, his native place, a young man, who, after seeing all this blood flow, resolved to take an oath to consecrate his life to the worship of that liberty for which so many martyrs had fallen. This young man, then twenty-six years of age, was Joseph Garibaldi. But we must now let him speak for himself, and relate the marvellous events of his adventurous existence. ALEX. DUMAS.
