I tond to blind a search ; while tho young man if pressed, could escape to the roof and, by means of a long rope, fastened to the dim- ney, could liwer himself into either the yard or the streot. TbU would not insure bis escape, but it wa the he-it plan the two could think of, and served to render both less fearful of detection and the serioui coosaq'ion cea. Having provided tho rope, the mother hastened to bring up. a largo quantity of food, which her -ton bogau to devour with a ravenonsnoga that thowed that bo had told no untruth, when in tho character of a' bcg:ar, hu bud de -tared himself In aetata bor dering on starvation.

" Never I criod t'ie young olllcor, ' while there is a thousand men left In our country to make a last deeper ate aland.

" If you thmk my son is in the lioue, search ,0 your beat t's content!" returned the mother, exteroally culm, internally suffeiing. . And forthwith the search begun. Meantime the young lieutcosnt. who heard enough to comprehend his danger, had set about' effecting bis eatspo, but not altogether in thr maouer fir it intended lie went out on the roof, it iit iruo. and tied tho long repe to the chimney, casting one end down lowurd tho street, but this only for a blind. He had seen that the bricks of the dividing wall between the bouo occupied by bin. mother and one of the two udjoining builJiogs, had been loosely put up under the ridge-pole, and his present deign was to remove a few of these, crowd thro' into tho Joft of the other house, and then tnplaee them. This pvrpnso bo eff.tjtcd before tbe soldiers tearebing fur him came up near t-noush to hear tho little nois ho was compelled to mako.

Wheo fully saiiiifieJ that all tbo soldiers hud gone, young iVigglca at tempted to rulnrn into his toother's dwelling by tin way he bad left, but iu again dirpiaoieg f ho bricks for this purposo, one ol ibein slipped and went down through an open trap-door upon tho floor below, tmiLtng u loud noUe.

The young man continued to speak as he descend ed, sod hurriedly went on fo narrate) all that bad ocourred, eoriclddcd with the search of the soldiers, aud bis eacupo into the loft above. " Thank God, it it In ray power Id aid yea, sir I" were the 6rt words ol tbe girl, spoken wilh a look and feel ing of sympathy thut made thr heart of the soldier bouud with strange emotions. 1 So tben aebton te tell Lttri thats cousin from New Jorsey, about bis ige sod build, and looking not un like him, 'was then on s visit to the family, having a pass from Geoeral Howe.
