"Then ynu will leave me, Krnst," suid tho girl, a.« she tore n flower pus.iionutcly.

But thst is not t.-. be rspcctcd, r.r.d I d.i not wonder nt you being a slave owner—" "Oh, bother the slaves !" broke in tho iinpetunus girl. "They are more trouble than they aro worth, and always were.— Dick lianhiim is welcome tu all of them, if he wants them, excnpt IIes.4y and little j Jim. I always feel us if I belonged to I thetn, more thnn they bclung to me, and tho feeling is irksome. But ns fur thum puerrillii bands, like thnt of brother D.ck'B, they are n disgrace to tho counlry, and ought not lo be permitted.

The converjslion wos hero interrupted by a rough luuking man, dressed in brown hoiiieiipun, badly intlered, and carrying n lung rifle on hia shoulder, who euiiic hur- riei.Iy bvv!t'the.Iawn toward the house.— Hardly stopping io ki.nck, he cntcicd thc front duiir, nnd pushed into tho room where .Mnry Bnshaiu and Ernst Keldcr were Inlking.
"Beg pardon. Mi»«," said he, pulling a vlouched hat from unkcpt head, and rest ing the butt uf his riflo upon thc carpet; "sorry to omne in su sudden liko, but I hnvn't no time for perlitencM.

"It haa cume sooner than I expected. Mnry," said Ernst, n? he started up. "I must bid yuu farewell nuw, nnd perhaps forever. If I can reach the Federal lines sufi-ly, I will try .and get word to you."
"No uae tulkin' 'bout the Fcd'rul lines now, .Mr. Feldcr," suid the rungh looking man, "fur here's the gncrrillns."
Ah he apuke, about twenty horsemen, droHsed in a homespun iniitulinn uf the (.'onfedcrute uniform, rode up the sireot, and hulled in front ofthe inansiun. They were a villninoiis set In look at, and wero urined with all surta of we^ipons, from a huniiiig.rifle lo a flint-lock pislol. Al their head rudn a ynung man in the gay unifiiriii Ilf a Cuiit'ederate oflicer, wliu.'e aeut in the saddle wus r|uite unsteady.
"Thoy aro a pnrt of Diok Baaham's gang," suid .Mary, ns ahe oiiolly surveyed them frum the window," and ho is with them, and drunk ogain, I'll he bound. It ia eniiugh to destroy nny man's reapeot fur himself to aaioiointe wilh such wretches, and I ahould think nothing could induce a gentleman, as Diok Basham usod to be, to do it."
"Come, Ben Starling, aaid Felder, who had hastily seized his hat, "we cao yet escape by the baok way."
"No!" excluimod Ine girl, as her eye shot Bre. "Yon cnn do no (•uch thing, for they have already surmnnded the hiiuae.

Mr. Felder, give mo one of your pistols." Quite overborne by the intrepiditv and energy of the highspiriied girl, Ernst Felder almost ineohanloally handed her a pistol.

MUTINY AT SEA.
An atten:pt was made to seize the Cali¬ fornia steamer Ocean Queen, on her Inst trip, by a body of mutineers nn board the vessel, but the attempt was frustrated by the prompt action of the officers.
Tho vesti'l sailed on the ISlh ult., and lisd on biiard^five hundred passengers and IWU hundred and seventeen suilora.

"Halt there for your lifo 1" his sister alinnst shouted, in a tone that caused tho young man to stop instantly. "Do you knuw thia cnn uf pnwder, Dick Basham ?" said she, as she pointed to it wilh her pistol. "And this?" thrusting tho muz¬ zle deep among the shining black grains. "Now I warn you, sir, thnt ifyou nr any of yuur thieves approach a htep nearer, I will blow huuso and all lo ntnms, as far ns thia can of powder con do it."
"Hold, Mary I" excluimed her brother, whom her desperate resolution had almoet sobered. "Fur GodV sake take your pia- tol out of that powder I You arc excited, and thc least slip of your finger wuuld rend you, and perhaps nil of os. into eternity."

si,id one of tho men.     "I   cnn   see

"Of course sho would," eoid Basham, almost indignantly. "I would nover own her fur a sister of mino, if she hadn't spunk enough for thot. Well sho must have her wny Ihis lime, nnd wo will hnve fihunccs enough to catch the Dutchman."
"We nre going now, JIary," he contin¬ ued, "yuu will be sorry for this, and if you have so far forpoitsnyuur pusiiiun and your duly as to Tail in love with that pia¬ no-tuner, both you and he shall pay dearly fur it."
"Never feor bnt that I cnn tnke care of my-position and my duly, Dick Ba-hnm," said the girl, aa tho guerrillas mounled their hllr^es nnd rude awav

The ezoitement among t^e passengers, mnny of wlinni were ladies, nnd also among tho mutin'ffera, wns nt this lime intense.— The latter rushed forward, and tho n^uti neer whn followed Ihc first waa fired nt by Commander Amman and by three or four officera. among whom waa the Chief F'ngi neer of the Ocean Queen.
Tho short distance from which theae of¬ ficers fired rendered Iheir uim effective in every case, nnd the mutineer fell, pierced by five or sir bullets.
