THE CONDEMNED' SENTINEL. X. WAR A cold stormy night, in the month Of March, 1807, Marshal , Lefebyre, with twenty thousand Freneh troops; bad invested Lantzie. The city was garris oned by seventeen thousand Russian and Prussian soldiers ; and these to gether Withtw'enty or, thirty thousand v well tinned citizens, presented nearly t. double the force which could be bro't v to the assault. •So there,was need of the p utmost vigilance on the part cif the sen- r tinels, for desperate sortie from. the • garrison, made unawares, might prove calamitous. ' At midnight, Jerome Dubois •was placed on one of,the .most important posts In the advaneed. line of pickets, it being' upon a narrow strip of land raised above the Marshy fiat called the peninsula of,Nehrug,, For more than an hour he paced his- lonesome beat without hearing anything more than the moaning of the wind or the driving of the rain. At length another sound broke upon his ear. Be stopped and listened and presently ho culled, "who's there?" The only answer was a moaning sound. .114 called 'again,. and this time he heard something like the cry of a child and pretty soon the object came toward him out from the darkness. With a quick, emphatic movement, he brought 1 his mu ket to the charge, and ordered the int uder to halt. • • I. " Me cy !" exclaimed i childish voice, " Don' shoot me, lam Natalie. Don't you kir me?" "He yens!". cried Jerome z elevating the muzzle of his piece, " is it you dear, child ?" ' . " Yes, and you are good Jerome. Oh, you will command help Mamma! Come, she is dying !". It Was certainly Natalie, a little girl only eight years 'old, daughter of Lisette Valliant, Lisette was the wife of Pierre Valliant, a sergeant in Jeronie's own regiment, and was in the army in the capacity of nurse. . . ' Why how is this my child ?" said Jerome, taking the little ono by. the arm. " , What is it about your mother?" " Oh, good Jerome, your can hear her now: Hark I" 1 The sentinel bent his ear, but could . only hear the wind 'and the rain. "Mamma, is in the dreadful, mud," sail the child, " and, is dying.

But there were ot iers present ; and ordered to give up h musket,, , he obeyed with th it ato r;aml. accompanied the Wilder to the e alp, where he was put in irons. - pn the following morning Jerome Dubois was brought before a court-mar tial under the charge of having deserted hi' S post. He confessed that be was gnilty, and the permission was granted hini to tell his own story. • (this he did in a few words, but the , cond could do nothing but pass sen tence of death ; but the members there- t or signed a petition praying that Jer oi e Dubois might be pardoned, and th s petition was sent to the .General .of the division,' by whom it was en d .ed and sent up to the Marshal. - *byre was kind and generous to hi Soldiers • almost top, fault; but he co ki not overlook so great an error as tilt which had been committed by Du bo s. • The orders given to the sentinel bad, been very •simple ; and foremost, ,it f every necessity was annrder forbid- Ai g him to leave his post until proper relieved. To a certain extent, the fia ety of the whole army rested upon tit shoulders of each individual • senti n 1, and especially- upon those •who at night were posted nearest the lines of the enemy. - 1 "I am sorry," said the gray-haired .. A I I warrior, as . he folded up the — petition d handed it back to the offleer who had presented it. "I am sure that the m n meant no wrong, yeta great wrong AV' S, done.

Let him die, lb it thousands may be saved."- 'he time fixed for the execution of Ditbois, was 'the morning succeeding the day of his trial. The .result of the inrrview with :Marshal sLefebyre was lit de known to him, and he was not at al k disappointed. He blamed ..no one, airwas only Sorry that he had not died on the battle-field.

This tipped the brimming cup, and his tars' flowled freely. Pierre and Lisette knew not wha to sriy.l They wept and prayed and would willingly have died for the noble fellow who was thus condemned. . Later in the evening came a compan ion Who, if he lived, would return to Jereme's boyhood home. First the condemned thought of his widowed mother, and he sent hera message of Jove and devotion. Then he thoUght of a brother and a sister. And finally he thought of one—a bright-eyed maiden— whose vine-clad cottage stood ul i ton the banks of the Seine—one whom e had levet with a love such us onlY great hea •. can feel. 1 " ,my dear friend !" he • cried, i h bowing his head upon hiS clasped hands, " 3 4ii;i need not tell them a falsehood; if the thing is possible, let them be lieveithat I fell battle!" , His companion promised to do-all he could and if the truth could not be kept back,"it should be faithfully told thatl i the name of Jerome Dubois should nit _mix dishonor in the minds of those who had loved him in other days. Alprn i lig 'came, dull and gloomy, with driving sleet and snow; and at an early hour, Jerome Dubois was led forth to in y t , ceehis fate. The p 'cc :of eXecution had been fixed upon a ow, barren spot toward the sea ; and tl herhis division was being marched to witness the fear ful 1 unishment. They had gained not More than half the distance when the sound of some strange commotion broke upon the winter air ; and very shortly an aid-de-camp came dashing* to the side the Out I The and P In divi: hadj foal The glad nice! " Vhat shall we do with the prison er ?" - asked the sergeant who had charge of the guard. i -.".Leacthitn back to camp 1" ; replied the.captain. The direction teas very simple, llnt the execution thereof was not so easy; for hardly had the words escaped the captain's lips,, when a squad of Prussian cavalry came dashing , directly toward him, The division was quickly form ed into four hollow 'squares, while the guaM that held charge of the prisoner found themselves obliged to lice. • " Iu heaven's name," cried Jerome, ",cut my bonds and let me die like a soldier !" • The sergeant quickly cut the cord that bound his elbows behind him, nod then drished toward the point where hi. own company was stationed. The rat- tle of musketry had commenced, min the Prussians were vainly endeavoring to break the 'squares of the Preoch troops. Jerome. Dubois looked alaon forsome 'weapon - With which to :on, himself; and presently he saw a Pro shin officer not far oft' wounded. With cture %Joan d he reached the spot, pa i I - ed the dyiul officer from his Seat :Ind leaped in to,the empty saddle.__ 1 Dubois was fully resolved OW 1 dl, 1 sf the gi*ral'ef the brigade, ,witl ry— sortie! A sortie! The enemy are n force: Let this thing be stayed Marshal directs that you face abon dvance upon the peninsula!" ! .r an instant 11 vas changed' in that Pi on ,on and tit ‘ brigadier general who temporary command t his'orders or the eountermarch, gloom was dissipated, and with hearts turn d from thi.t thoughts of AO the enemy, . . would sell „his life' that day-sell it in behalf Of, France—sell 'it as dearly as possible. But he was not needed where ho was. ,He knew that the Prussians mold not break those hollow uares ; so he rode away, thinking to of the French cavalry, with whom h 1 it'ould rush info the deepest danger: Suppos int; the heaviest lighting must be upon thy Nehrug, he rode his horse in that dirt+tion ; and•when he.;reaehed it he found lie had not been rnAtaken. Upon a slight eminence toward - ,liagelburg, the enemy had .planted' a battery of heavy guns, supported, b'y two regi ments of infantry ; and', already with shot and shell much damage had been done. 1 (Marshal Lefebyre i . ode up shortly af ter this battery had been opened, and' very quickly ruade'up his mind that it must he taken at all hazards. "'fake. the batter y 12.: he said to a eolohbl of cavalry, Si an the battle is ours.” Dubois heard the order and saw the necessity. Here was danger enough; surely ; and determined to be first at the fatal battery, he kept as near the leader as he dared. Half the distance had been gained, when from the hill came a storm of iron that ploughed in to the ranks of.the French. The colo nel fell, his body literally torn to pieees by a shell'that exploded against his son). The, point upon the peninsula now reached, ,by the head of ' the assailing column Was not more than a hundred yaiyls - wide, and it was literally thepath of death as the fire of twelve heavy guns wev'e turned upon it. The colonel had fallen, and Very soon "three other officers Went down, leaving the advance without a commissioned leader. The way was ecoming blocked up with dead men and dead horses; and the head of the column stopped and lwaver ed. Marshal Lefebyre, from'his elevated place, saw this, and hilt heart throbbed painfully. If that column was routed, and the Prussian incitntry charged over the peninsula, the result ? } night be ca lamitous. But—see! A man in the uniform of a French private, mounted upon a pow erful horse, earparisoned in the-trap pings of a Prussian stair officer, with the head bare; andabright saberswing ing in his hand, rushes to the front and urges the column forward. His words are fiery, and his look is dauntless. -"For cFrance and Lefebyre l" the strange horseman cried, waving his sword aloft, and pointing towards the battery. "The Marshal will weep if we lose thi4 day !" The brave troopers, thus led by one who feared not to dash forward where the shot fell the thickest, gave all an swerable shout, and pressed on, caring little for the rain of death so long as they had allying leader to follow. Hop ing that he might take the battery and yet courting death, Jerome Dubois spurred On ; finally the troops came upon the battery with irresistible force. It is not in the power of the cannon iers to withstand the shock, and the Russian in faptry that came to their support were swept away like chaff.— The battery was quickly captured ; and ivhen the guns were turned UPon those who had shortly ‘ before been their mas ters, the,fortune of the day was decided: The Rassians and Prussians—horses, foot and dragoons—such as were not taken prisoners; having lost more than th 3Wc - aii7tulioiaieturned to guard house, and gave himself up to the officer in chargo. First a surgeon was called to dress several slight wounds which he had received. Next his 'colonel WM called to see what should 'lit-done with him. The colonel applied to the gen= eral of brigade, and the general of brig ade applied the general of division, and the general of division applied to Mar shal Lefebyre. -" What shall we do with Jerome Dubois?" " God bless him !" cried the veteran general, who had heard the story; "I'll pardon him- to-day, and to-morrow -I'll promote him." And Jerome Dubois, iet time, went himself to see the 'Tied ones in France; and when he went he wore the uniform of a captain. The Dark,Hour Before Day. "It's no no use, Becky," said th little lame cobbler, dropping his bea he re , the upon a l t 4 his hands and looking, as personification of despair.
