KT Ow? Place. \ BHXKS FOR ALL, OOOD HEH ?2TD TRI E. Whoever I p.m, whatever my lot Wherever I happen to bo, Contentment ami duty shall ballow the . . Spot That Providence order? for me; Ko covetous straining and striving to gain One feverish step In advance " 1 know my own place and jon tempt me in vain, To hazard a chango and a chanco. I care for no riches that are not my right, No honor tkatis not my due, Bot stand In my station by day or by night, The will of my master to do. He lent me my lot, be it bramble cr high, And set ae my business hare; And whether I hve In his service, or die, . Hy heart shall be found in my sphere. If wealthy, I stand as the steward of ray King; If poor, as the friend of my Lord; If feeble, my prayers and my .praises I bring; If stalwart, my pen or my sword: If wisdom be mine, I will cherish His 'it; If simpleness, bask in Eua love; If sorrow. His hope shall my spirit uplift, H joy, I will throw it above. The good that it pleases my God to bestow, I gratefully gather and prise;. The evil-it can be no evil, I know. Bat only a good in disguise; - And whether my station be lowly or great, No -duty can ever be mean; The factory cripple is fixed in his fate, As well as a king or a queen. For duty's bright h very glorifies all With brotherhood, equal and free, Obeying, as children, the heavenly call, That places ns where we should be; A servant-the badge of my servitude shines, Asa jewel Hives ted by heaven; A monarch-remember that justice assigns Mach service where so mach is given. Away, then, with "helpings" that humble and harm, Though "bettering" trips from your tongue; Away, for your folly would scatter the charm That round my proud poverty hang; I felt that I stood like a man at my post, Though peril and hardship were there, And all that your wisdom would counsel me most, Is-"Leave it-do better elsewhere." If "better" were better, indeed, and not "worse," I might go ahead with the rest, Bot many a gain and a joy is a carse, And many a grief for the best, l?o-duties axe all the advantage I use; I pine not for praise or for help, Ana as for ambition, I care not to choose My better or worse for myself. I will not, I dare not. I cannot, I stand Where God has ordained me to be. An honest mechanic-or lord in the land He fitted my calling for me. Whatever my fate, be it weak, be it strong, With honor or sweat on my face, This, this is my glory, my strength and my song, I stand, like a star, in my place. [oaioiNAL.] ? Tal9_of^eJute War. BY E. J. D. CHAPTER IV. Bat the happiness of the lovers was soon rudely disturbed. A few days after their betrothal, orders were re? ceived at the headquarters of the Confederates to prepare three days' provisions, and to be ready to move at a moment's warning. It was not generally known what the character of the movement was to be, but Lieut. Gillespie, who was in favor with some of the superior officers, learned that all the forces on the Bap pahannock were to be secretly and rapidly concentrated near Bichmond, and that the troops would probably move on the evening of the next day. He accordingly hastened to the man? sion to communicate the unwelcome intelligence to his friends there. They received the news with regret, but without dismay. Mr. Early had Srepared for such an emergency, and e determined to remove at once with his daughter to a place of greater se? curity. He had two sisters-one re? siding in Bichmond, and the other some five miles to the North of that city-with either of whom he knew he would find friendly shelter and a cordial welcome. He resolved to go to the house of the latter, who was Mrs. Minor, a widow lady, and make it, for the present, his home. Their arrangements were soon com? pleted to make an early start the next morning. The mansion was placed in charge of a trusty servant, and a few servants were left on the farm to take care of the stock as well as they might be able to do so. Harry was present to bid them farewell and wit? ness their departure. An open car? riage, and a light, strong wagon, to carry the servants and extra baggage, both drawn by fine, large horses, were to convey them away. Their parting was rendered less painful by the fact that they expected to meet again soon. Harry saw them com? fortably seated, and all the baggage safely stowed away, and then with a hearty shake of the hand, and a "God bless you, my boy," from Mr. Early, and a long, fond kiss from El? len, the vehicles rolled away. The young officer stood and watched them as they wound along the base of the hills, until a tura in the road hid them from his view. The mansion and the grounds, beautiful as they were, had no charms for him now, and, with a ead heart, he hastened to the camp. The destination of the travelers was, as we have stated, Mrs. Minor's, distant about sixty miles; and they expected to make the journey easily in two days. They proceeded the first day without any accident or dif? ficulty; but, on the morning of the second, they learned that some Fede? ral soldiers were at Hanover C. H. ; but it was thought the road they ... \ were traveling was still open and safe, and Mr. Early hastened on, coping to pass the pout of greatest danger before the enemy reached it. But they had not gone far before they met a squad of Federal cavalry, by whom they were stopped. Mr. Early explained and remonstrated, but the officer in command told him very sternly that he was instructed to ar? rest alt persons going toward Rich? mond under suspicious circumstances. They were placed in charge of a cor? poral and three men, with orders to conduct them to a house near at hand, and detain there under -strict guard. The owner of the house was supposed by the Federals to be a Union man, but whatever may haye been his political proclivities, his wife and daughter were staunch friends to the South. The latter was a hand? some little lynx-eyed brunette, named Lucy, whose sylph-like figure, keen ' wit, and coquettish manners, enabled her to dupe and mislead many a Fed? eral soldier. The situation of the prisoners aroused her sympathies at once, and she determined to effect their escape. Keeping her own counsel, how? ever, Lucy pretended great friend? ship for the Union soldiers, gave them dinner and feasted them highly, permitting them to have as much brandy as they wanted. When even I ing came on, she again furnished them a bountiful supper, and sup I plied them plentifully with some nice ! cordial, which she had prepared for j the occasion. The well-fed troopers i were jolly and hilarious and boister? ous for a time, but it was not long after dark before they betook them I selves to sleep, and were soon all buried in profound slumber, except the sentinel posted in front of the j door, who stilt* paced his measured round, but lifted his feet high from the ground, and let them fall with a sudden, heavy tramp. Lucy had revealed her real charac? ter to Ellen, and made her acquainted with her design; and they now went into a room to consult and perfect their arrangements. "You see," said the little minx, her dark eyes dilating with light and gleasure, "there is a road from the ack gate of the barn-yard, behind the house, where the stables are, leading around the farm and entering the main road again, about a mile below here. They are all asleep but that guard in front of the door,' and he will soon be down, too, for I put opium enough in that cordial to put 'Old Scratch' himself to sleep. So, when all are buried in slumber, we will wake up your fa tb or and tho ser? vants, and, getting the vehicles ready, I will let you ont at the back gate, and you can then easily make your way, and be too far off for pursuit before those drunken fellows awaken. How do you like my plan?" "It is admirable," cried Ellen, joy? fully. "I think we will be sure to succeed. Why, Lucy, yon ought ta be an aid to soma of the Confederate generals. I am sure you would sharp en their wits a good deal." **L have had some offers of that i kind," said the witty girl, with affect? ed gravity, "but have not thought proper to accept any position yet. But let us attend to the business ir I hand; there is no time to lose;" and 1 she glided softly to the front dooi and opened it The lusty sentinel was still swag fjering to and fro, humming in maud in tones, 'Hail Columbia, happj land.' "You 11 sing another tuue, af bei awhile, my birdie," she said to her self, and, closing tho door, she wont back to tell Ellen that tho last bat tery would soon be carried, and al would be right. Ten o'clock, at length, came, am every ono was asleep in the honse bu the two girls, who sat in Lucy's room chatting in a low voice, and waiting I patiently for the opiate to do it: 'work. When they ceased talking nothing broke the silence tba I reigned except the snoring of th< ! sleeping troopers, in the piazza, au< the heavy tread of the sentinel in th j yard. I "We have a very fierce dog, tba might have given us some trouble ? but I have taken care of him, too, said Lucy. "How, Captain, did you give hir. some of the cordial, too?" inquire* Ellen, laughing. "No, I sent him with my littl j brother to a neighbor's house* befor I dark, and he will not be back til I morning. Fido is too noble a dog t [ be served a Yankee trick. But, hus! that footfall has stopped. I don ? hear it," and she glided to the doo [ again. There lay the luckless guare sprawled upon the grass. She steppe j lightly to him, and peering into hi face, saw that he was completel wrapped in the arms of Morpheus and perfectly oblivious of all the was passing. Repressing her laug! ter, she ran into the house, aud to! Ellen that she was now "master c the situation." Ellen then went to her father chamber, gently woke him up, an informed him of their design nn their success so far. Mr. Early ei pressed his surprise and joy; an submitting himself entirely to th girls' directions, he roused up th servants, and it was not long befoi the carriage and wagon were in read ness. Lucy attended them out, an after receiving many thanks and shower of kisses from Ellen, and cordial shake of the hand and a hear felt "Qed bless you, my noble dan gi ter!" from the old Virginian, she sa k, R. J ,T .MX M v r -. * > .. - them safely out of the great gate, and then hastened back to her room and went to bed. The brave girl could not, however, for some time, get to sleep, for thinking how funny the booby troopers would look in the morning, and how she would secretly enjoy their surprise and disappoint? ment. The travelers mes-with no further mishap on the way; but, tao ugh they had only some fifteen milea more to go, the night was so intensely dark and the road in such a wretched con? dition, that they did not reach their journey's end until late the next morning. Mr. Early's sister wel? comed him and his daughter with great pleasure, though die deeply re? gretted the cause that had, driven them from their home. Mrs. Minor waa the owner of a nice residence and a handsome property, and was a lady of intelligence and refinement. Sho had but three children-two sons and n daughter; the former were in the Confederate army, and as she was left alone with the latter, she was glad to have the presence and com? pany of her brother. Minnie Minor was a dashy, showy girl, with fair skin and jet black hair ' and eyes, about Ellen's age, but ! strikingly her opposite in appearance, and, in many respects, indisposition. Bnt, though she was gay and spright? ly, and somewhat proud of her beauty and accomplishments, she possessed a kind and generous heart, and was ardently attached to the cause of the South. Ellen knew Minnie's foibles, but she overlooked them in consider? ation of the precious diamond that the showy casket concealed. If she had her faults, she had her virtues also; and when you came to know her well, you found that the latter greatly predominated. The two cou? sins, despite the contrariety of cha? racter that existed between them, were warm friends, and it was a great treat to them both to be together at such a time.
