"Here nretwo laterite ytmr address,"
And the oificer, who had the letters in hii
hand,-held them toward the Soldier, who
started, with - a strange look .of surprise
and bewilderment, and received them
with a band that trembled visibly.
"Sit down-and read them," said.the of ,
ficer, pointing to e-camp-stool. The man
sat down,' showing eonsiderahle,excite
tileittrand -after:looking- curiously-at the
delicately written stiperseriptiebtx, opened
one of the letters andglanced through: 4
hurriedly. The officer's gate was on him
and he readin his _countenance the ripid
play of v4iiaus em otions:` Then he open=
ed the second letter, whicb rivetted his at
tentioth-r-Aii- be finiiihisTitire-dia his
hand hastily across his eyes. .
" From home ?" queried thebfficer.
The young soldier stood up, giving the
usual sign of respect, as he answered in
theaffirmative. The officer noticed that
his face was graver and paler, and that
the late loigr of doggedde fi ree bad faded
out. - "'"
,
' And now, Rodgers, what have you te
say for yourself? You knew, as well r
do- that discipline must be enforced."—
There was remonstrance, not anger in the
officer's voice. _ . „

humbly yet in a firm voice. I have done
wrong, andaiii,ie4i6iiii , `.2:Fitgive me;
