There were no light? to be seen except in the guanlhoue and one or two of the officers' tents, nnd Su.ie Mole on, congratulating herself on her security, when, at a turn in the canvas trect, when hc came on the officer of the guard going the 't;rand rounds." "Hello !'' h? cried, Ftopping short, and then laying hi hand on Susie's phouldor, "what are you out for?" Susie was ready to drop. The young man was one the knew very well, and recognition necmed inevitable; but the very imminence of the danger gave her cour"Captain's orderly, if you please, sir," she said, drawing gently away. 'What Captain?" Here was an awful dilemma, but ho answered, finally, "Capt. Johnston, Company I."
"Oh! little Tom; to be sure, 1 remember; but what brought you so late?" ''Captain sent me in town." " The deuce ho did ; he's a pretty fellow. I nhall certainly rcpoit him for improper conduct in letting his orderly out yo late at night.0 Susie did nol cftre to remonstrate, but with a military alute, very creditably given, hurried away towards Johnston's trnt. Her courage almost foiled her. Wuat if he were already reading those fatal letters? As she came in view of it sho ?aw that the light was still burning, and her breath almost ceased. How could she find out if she was too late? Very cautiously she stole to the fcide of the tent, and peeped in between the flaps. Her cachet stood on the table, and Johnston, sealed near, was drawing oil" his boots. As ho kiched them out
tnciyi iö flitf nt hand on l'JA and involuntarily Susie's
slight fingers crept to ttaj handle of her pistcl. .
" No, by Jove!" he muttered, suddenly drawing his hand away, and starting up. "It peem too bad to break ojwn the little thing's casket. 1 won't do it without consulting the colonel; though, if ho is a d d Abolitionist, the deserves anything." " Kentucky chivalry!" Susie ground the words between her teeth, and wondered with intense astonishment what hid made him nuspect her. Meantime eho kept a pharp watch on Johnston, who took up
tho cabinet and set it on a shelf
that ran across the tent. 'Tom !" Susie shrank away, fearing the orderly would appear, but there was no reply. 4Tom!" he shouted again, add
ing below bin breath "Confound
the boy, how he sleeps" 8u!ie gave one liaty glance towird the orderly tent; there wert
no sijns of life, and thinking it
better to play the part herself than that he should be roused, she step
ped forward.
"Oh, here you are, Tom! What a while ycu were coming! You
mutt he quicker than this if you
ever near the long roil at mia
night. Here, take this uotc to the colonel the firut thing in the
morning.
Yef , sir;" and Susie took the
note and protended to hurry olF,
but the went only just beyond the ent and there watched till hc had (ho satisfaction of seeing the light put out in Johnston tent. Then crouching down in the shadow, slie waited patiently till he ihoutd be tsleen. Onco, she woj startled by tne approach of h9 officer cf the guard, and nar
rowly escaped a second discovery, which would inevitably hive sent her to the guard-house, by dodging behind the tent. At lnt the heavy breathing of the tired captain assured her that all was safe, and he btole softlv to the entrance of the lent. The cord were tied on the in-ide, but with a hharp knife they were soon severed, and t-he Mood within the tent. Only guided by th? recollection of where she had seen the box deposited, she noiselessly
Jitepped toward the shelf, and in
a moment the casket wa.i safu in
her hand1?. Ah she turned to go nutj being not to cautious a when s-lie entered, hhe jo.-tled the Captain' sword, and it fell clattering on the lloor. The captain started up; "what the d 1 Tom," he cried, "what are you after.' Hut there was no one there, and thinking tiiat he must have knocked it oil" himself, the dreamy captain resumed his plumbers.
Susie, nlmo.-t frightened out of her wits, had waited for no reply, (rut lied hastily away until the came once more in sight of the sentries. Here her instincts of prudence made her rcnuino a more rp.iet gait, though she ytill went on hastily, saying as she approached the guard ".Manassas; don't stop me urgent business," and o hurrying past the surprised sentinel, went with all the ppeed she dared towards her home. Arrived at her uncle V, hhe quietly opened the gate and stole benath Agatha's window, picking up a piece of gravel to toss against the glas, which had been a preconcerted signal that her sister might let her in. She did not succeed the firt time, and was ntooping to find another nmall .stone, when rdie wan suddenly and unceremoniously seized by the collar, and a man hissed in her ear : "How dare you come here?"
Intensely amazed, and at last
fairly overcome, Susie, pale and trembling, turned upon her un

Vulfjar Lanrjuarc. There is as much connection between th" words and thj thoughts as ther is between the thoughts and actions. The latter are not nly the? cxpic. nioun of the former, but they have a power to react upon the soule, and leave th'j stain of their corruption thre. A young man who allows himself to the use one vulgar or profan; word, has not only f-houn that there i a foul spot upon hi mind, but by the utterance of that word he extends that spot and inflames it, till by indulgence, it will pollute and ruin the the soule . Be careful of your words as well as all yiur thoughts. If you can control the tongue that no improper word arc pronounced by it, you will t?oon be able, also, to control the inind and save that from corruption. You extinguish the fire by smothering it or preventing bad thoughts bursting out into language. Never utter a word anywhere which you would be ashamed to speak in the presence ot the most refined female, ortho most relig ious man- Try this practice a little while, and you will soon have command of yourself.

"Never," he cried, shaking her
violently, tili you tell mwhy you are prowling under a lady's window."
Something in the tone in which
these words were uttered startled
Susie, and nhc looked her captor full in the face. It was enough;
and with a surprised cry she breathed the word

A few hasty words had told hi in all, and he too had a story to
relate. That night his papers had been seized; he feared lor his
life, and had come to say good

eiiort for flight.

Raymond was overcome with
this devotion, and when Agatha
had joined them, as she did in
reply to their summons, she agreed
that it was their only pafcty.
