THE CONDEMNED SENTINEL- - • A cold, stormy night in the month of:: March. 1807, Marshal Lefebvre, with! 1 twenty-seven thousand Prendh troops, had invested 'Dantzic. -iThe city ewes, garrisoned by seventeen thousand Ruts, sian and Prussian soldiers, and these, together with twenty or thirty thousand: well -armed citizens, presented nearly' double the force which opuld be brought: to the assault. SO there was need of the utmost vigilance onnthe part of thel sentinels, for a despetate sortie from the garrison, made unawares, might' • prove calamitous. , At midnight Jerome Dubois was placed upon one of the Most important posts in the advance line of pickets, it being upon a • narrow 1 strip al laud raised above the marshyflat, called thei Peninsula of Nelusung. •.For more than: an hour he paced his liouesonte beat! without hearing anything mord than the moaning of the wind and the driv- ing of the rain. At length, however,' another sound broke upen his ear. He! stopped • and. listened, and presently- he called- 1 " Who's there ?" The only answer was a moaning sound. He called again, and , this time be, heard someehtng like the ney of a: child, and pretty soon an objet came toward him out from the darkness. With a quick, emphatic movement he breught his musket to the charge, and ordered_ the intruder to halt. I • "Mercy !" exclaimed a childish voice;: " don't shoot me! I anti Natalie. Don't you know me?" Heaven!" cried Jerome, , elevating the muzzle of his piecei "Is it you, ! child ?” " Yes ; and you are geed. Jerome. 0;* you will come and help mamma. Come, ane -ie dying!" •, It was certainly Natalie, a litUe girl_ • only eight years old, datightet of Lisette Valliant, a sergeant in Jerome's own • regiment,, and was in the army in •the capacity of nurse. •I en Why, how is this, my child ?" said Jerome, taking the :little one by the DAM. "-What is it about ‘your. mother ?" "0, stood Jerome, yen' can hear her now. -lark."• , The sentinel bent his ear, -hut could pray hear the wind and the rain, "-Manama is in the dreadful mud," said the child, " and is dying. She is not far away. • 0, I can hear her cry- ing." By degrees Jerome gathered from Natalie that her father had taken her .• out with him in the mottling, and that in the evening when the storm came on her mother came after her. The ser- • geant bail offered to send a man back to camp with his wife, but she prefeered to return alone, feeliug sure that she would nieet with no trouble. The way,sho ever. had beenme dark and uncertan , and sho had 'teat the path, and wandered off to the edge of the racirass, Where she had stiek into the soft mud. - • " 0, geed Jerome," cried the little one, seizing the [rnan's hand, n can't you hear her? She *ill die if you do not come and help her." At that moment the sentinel fancied be heard the wail 'Of the unfortunate womae. What should he do?.Lisette, the good, the beantifel, the tender- hearted Lisette, was iu mortal danger, and it was in his potter to save her. It was not in his heart to withstaed •the pleadiugs of the child He could go and rescue the nurse, and return to his post- without "detection. At all . events, he could not ref se the childish pleader. , " G-ive me, your hand, Natalie, I'll go with you." With a cry of joy the child sprang to the sehtier's side, and, when she had • secured his hand,- she hurried him • along toward the placeWhere she had left her mother. It.seemed a long die- tance to Jerome, and once he stopped as theugh he wentd. turn back'. He • did not fear death, but he feared die- : honor. " Hark," Uttered the ,:hild.' - The soldier listened., and plainly. • heard the voice of the suffering woman calling for help. " • , Hd hesitated no longer.. Ou he hastened - through the storm, and fennd.L4ette suuk to her • armpits in the soft morass. Fortunate- ly a tuft Of long grags had "been within • ber reaclaby which means she had held her headabovethe fatal mud. It was, no easy matter t� exteicate.i. her from the miry pit, as the Workman had to be very careful that he lifinself did net lose bus footing. At leneth s however, she was drawn forth, and Jerome , led her - toward his post. • "Who Conics thee° ?" cried a voice from the gloom. Heavens !" gasped Terme, • stop- • ping and trembling from head to foot. "" Who coeees there ?" repeated the voice. • Terome heardthe nlick of the musket lock, and helkuew that another sentinel - had been stationed a1 the post he bad_ left. , The relief had come while he hat been absent. n Friends with the cotuatersign," he answered to the .last call of the:new • He was or lered to advance, and when he bad given the cortutersign, he found himself in the presence of the offeser of the peed; In a few hurried words he told his stery, aud had the officer been alone he might have allewed the mate ter to rest where- it was,!but there*were • others preeent, and : when ordered to give up his.niesket he obeyed Without a• murmur, and silently aneompaided the officer to the Cainti, whelre he wag put , in irons. • ! • I - , On the fallowing Morning jentine Dubois was-: brought beforea court- • martial under chante ofhaving desert- ed his post. • He coefessed that he weed guilty, and then periniseion was grant:. • ea him to tell his ivii eltnry, - • This he did in a tew.vords, but the court ceuid.ao Tio6ing but pass sen- tence of death, but the etembers there - Of all eienedn. petitio i praying that Jerome Patois Might b pardoned, and this petaime .wat sent to the General of the brigade, and throu th him to the general of the divisilm, by whom it was endereed. and: sent up to the marshal.. • Lefebvre was kind and generous. to his soldiers ahneet . to a...fault, but he (naiad not o•verleok se greve an error as that committed by Dubeis. Theorders given to the eentinel 'had been very simple, and foremost of every necessity was the order forbidding him to leave his post tintil properly relieved. To pertain extent the safety' of the whole 1 ' army rested upon tie shoulders of each individual sentinel, Ind especially upoili those who at night ivero posted. neareet the lines of the enemy. • ' ," I am sorry," sad the gray haire old warrior, as he olded up the pet tion and handed it back to the oflic who presented it.

The time fixed f • the execution ef Dubois was the "me ning succeeding the the day of his trial. i The result of thlo interview with MaIshal Lefebvre Nellie made known to hi , and he was not it all disappointed. He blamed no One, and was only eor- ry that he had not diea upon the battle- field. •, "1 have tried to oe a good soldierj"' . . he said to his cept in. "1 feel that have -done no crime that should leave * 1 .stain upon my nen e." • The captain took his hand, and- as- sured him that his* name should beheld in respect. Towards evening ,Pierr" eVaillant.with his wife and chilct„ vere admitted to see the prisoner. Thi WAs a ' visit which Jerome would . gla ly have dispensed with, as his 1ee ngs were alreade, wrought up to a pit h that almost nu - manned him;- but he braced himself for the interview aud would have stood it like a hero, had not little Ntt- tittle, in the eagern ss of her love and gratitude, thrown herself " upon bi,ft bosom and, -offered o die in his, stead. This tipped -the bri taming cup, and hie tear -flowed freely:. • 1 • Pierre and Liset e knew not what to say. They wept BA d they prayed,. and they would have w llingly died for the noble -fellow who sel beeu thus omit.- derneed. :Later in the evening came a coin: Nation, who, if he ived, would at some time return to Jerome's boyhood home. First the condernnled thought of his• widowed mother, i,nd he sent. her -a message of love andevetion. Thep he., li thought of a broth r and sister.

Morning came, dull and gloomy, with ' driving sleet and spew:, and at an early" hour Jerome Dub 's was led forth to meet his fate. . Th place of execution had been fixedupOa low barren spOt toward the sea, end thither his div•- sion was being inari±hed to wituess ti e , a' - . -onel fell, his body literally torn in pieces by a shell that exploded -against his breast. The point upon the peninsulanow reached. by the head of the assaulting column was not more than a hundred yards wide, and it was literally a plain of death, as the fire from twelve heav guns was tureed upon it. The colone had fallen, and very soon three othe officers went down; leaving the advanc without a commissioned leader. Th "wey was `becoming blocked up wit dead men and diead horses, aud th bead of the coluinh 'stopped and wever ed. Marshal Lefebvre, from his elevate place, saw this, and his heart throbbec painfully.

It was not in the power of the can waders to withstand the shock, and th Russian infantrythat came to thei support were swept away like chaff The battery was quickly captured, an When the guns had been turnect upo those who had -shortly before been thei masters, the fortune of the day was de cided.

Jereme Dubois returned to the gnard house, and gave himself upto the office in- charge. First a surgeon was cane to dress sever -al slight wounds which h had received. Next his colonel wa.. called to see what should be done wit -him. The colonel applied to the gen eral of brigade, and the general of bri gade applied to the general of division and the General of. division- applied t Ma rsh albLefebyre. " What shall we do with Jerome Du -bois ?" "God bless hint!" cried the genera veteran,who had heard the whole story "111 pardon him to -day and, to-morro‘ ; I'll promote him."
