I don't believe there can be a man living who does not fear death aye, the bravest of them; it goes along with the fear firrs of the Russian camp, half hidden by their outworks. Soon tboy were creeping stealthily along right under the very fortifications of the enemy, noting the direction of the lines and each point, either of strength or of weakness, so far as it was possible to observe them in ths gathering gloom. At last they turned a corner and found themselves suddenly right beneath a tall figure in a long cloak and furry shako, posted on the top of ths redoubt just above them, and thrown out Into bold relief by the glow of the camp fire not many yards behind It Our friends were very still and cautious in their movements, but one of them, by the gleam of his bayonet probably, betrayed himself to the Russian sentinel as he peered down into the gloom, for the latter spoke some words In his own tongue, challenging them to declare themselves. Confound it! muttered Sergeant Easterbrook, half aloud, we have ventured too far right into the lions den ws must turn tail, boys, and run for our very lives, till we are out of gun shot That is the belt sort of courage that we can show now."

Good-bCharlie! the sergeant said; I shan't be able to keep my promise to you; but when you get back to England, tell Mary Ashford that I, Noel Easterbrook, did my poor little best to send you safe homo to her! And as the two soldiers, with their burden walked silently and slady away over the white deset t plain, Noel Easterbrook sank again heavily upon the ground, and rolled over once sank this time never to rise or speak agaiu. N. Y. JournaL turned to fly than the aharp report of a musket was heard behind them. The sentinel had aroused his comrades, and a moment later a volley of balls was whistling through the night air past the little English squad.
