leave  thorn  lopiimiiu  their  diflcrcnt  couraoa,  we  ahall 
follow  the  fortunca  of  Launcelntand  hia  nephew  Mark. 
Lnunoelut  made  no  bad  uae  of  h\*  ehiael.  Having 
raiaad  a  flag-alone  in  the  floor  of  hia  cell,  he  began  to

ahnuld  lie  privy  to  hia  acheme,and  partake  in  itaeo*- 
aequoncea.  Whon,  therefore,  in  the  dead  of  night  he 
effected  an  o|)ening  to  the  elreet,  they  eaoapod  with 
him. 

Launcolot  and  hia  nephew,  on  finding  themaelvee 
once  more  at  lilicrty,  ran  down  Hido  Hill,  and  thro«^ 
what  ia  now  called  the  Shore  Gate  to  the  river,  wheie  ' 
they  found  lying  an  oared  boat  belonging  to  the  Cuatomi: 
Houae.  (The  bridge  lieing  guarded,  and  aecured  by 
treble  galea,  for  there  waa  tho  Engliah  gate  where  the 
■oldierri  atood,  and  two  alrong  galea  called  the  Blue

yarda  from  the  ahore,  when  two  thievea  who  had  e»- 
caped  with  them,  arrived  at  the  aide  of  the  river,  and 
begged  to  be  taken  across.  Launcelot  |rDwled  and 
polled  on  ;  but  Mark,  who  was  fond  of  a  jeat,  anaweiw 
ed — "  No,  I  thank  you.  You  don't  puU  in  our  b9ti  t

The  high-toned  determination  of  the  maiden  setiafied 
John  thai  it  would  be  vain  to  press  a  suit  at  oMaent, 
which  was  so  cleariy  interdicted  by  aome  hid<Un  at' 
cumsUnce.  What  that  could  be,  waa  a  aubjec^  oT 
intenstjpinterest  and  curiosity  ;  but,  though  he  thooght 
of  it  daily  and  nighllv,  he  could  not  even  approach  the 
mystorioua  reaaon  which  could  change  a  human  being 
ao  entirelT,  as  to  make  a  light-laughing  maiden,  bigb  in 
the  hope  of  being  married,  a  aorrowful  and  sentiaaaii- 
tal  woman,  giving  grave  injunctiona  that  her  intended 
nuptiala  ahould  not  be  broached  in  her  preaenoe.  At 
timea,  John  thought  that  her  mind  waa  tinged  widi  m 
auperatitiooa  melancholy,  ariaing  from  aooie  piiikeRt^ 
ment,  that,  aa  their  marriage  waa  interrupted  in  aoch  all 
awful  raanli(er.  Heaven  had  aet  ita  decrae  egahMlk.

•nd^  on  one  occasion,  one  of  the  groonna  umlar  her 
fhiher  having  taken  down  the  aword  to  look  at  it,  ahe 
fkinted.  She  never  allo«ved  her  father  (o  wear  the

(Jradually  the  circle'  of  my  love  haa  been  narrowed  :

for  thy  take,  would  I  go  to  the  city  ;  but  I  think  theoo 
hnia  could  not  l)car  to  look  on  another  while  I  lived —

ooener,  which  have  become  part  of  my  being,  to  per- 
form the  duties  ia  which  my  life  haa  been  apent.  And 
atill  romenit)er,  William,  when  tomptationa  aaiall  tlioe, 
or  bad  men  would  lead  thee  by  the  coida  of  venity  or 
friendahip  into  vice,  that  there  la  a  grey-haired  men

net  appear^oflendrtl,  and  unwillin|  to  abandon  nil  hope

more  than  iitual  kindnt^.  But  Eliza,  who  wM  alRo

obaerved  that  ithe  w»«  much  paler  than  iiNual.  Let  ua 
explain  the  aerret  at  nnre: — Dippie  had  that  m(||||tng 
written  to  Eliaif  making  a  pmnoaal  nf  marriage ;  and 
her  mother  had  hoen  atrenuotwiy,  but  fruitleaaly  urging 
iMr  In  accept  of  it.  Upon  her  daughler'a  decided 
\<pjeelion,  Mra.  Ogilvio,  who#e  kindneaa,  eitlier  aa  a 
a  mother,  depended  emphatically  upon  the 
o(  unqualified  aiibaervienoetoall  her  caprice*,

doubt  that  Iho  want  o£\  profesaion  has  prevented  him 
Aom  making  a  formal  utMloaure.     But  there  he  ia.' 

Aiid,  to  her  aateniahmehy her  mother  received  him 
with  the  utmost  cordiality,  ^^ut  her  heart  was  un- 
ehanged ;  and  her  aaaumed  mniti^  was  partly  founded' 
on  her  wiah  to  create  an  unfavou^le  contrast  in  the 
mind  of  her  daughter  Iwtween  luikNfhinkneaa  and 
Bandal'a  rMerve — for  which  she  know^e  had  given

About  ihfao  ymis  ago,  a  mixed  party  leA  Newea*^

On  arriving  at  Ihe  Mbadi,  Iha  parly  'f**^  M  dMNl

spread  out  their  provisions  on  the  rocks :  about  a  doaaa

1  aay  a  fra|inent  of  a  man,  for  he  waa  mi»u»  hie  right

apiieared  like  an  image  of  contentment,  that  onvioaa 
mortals  liHid  deprived  of  an  arm,  and  left  him  laugMff 
at  their  malignity.  But,  above  all-i-though  Tool 
neither  given  lo  tRiSthrowing  of  the  hatchet,  nor  1

dually picking  up  courage,  I  aaiaed  on  |be  watch, 
hurried  it  into  my  pocket,  and  ran  onwarda  like  • 
madman.  I  had  not  run  far,  however,  when  a  ma% 
respectably  drewed,  but  who  seemed  the  worse  of 
liquor,  or  rather  tike  one  juat  recovering  from  a  d»>

aaked  me  if  I  had  aalii'anything  of  a  gold  waleh.  I 
instantly  confeaaed  thai  I  had  found  aucn  a  thing  |  and. 
trembling  with  apprehenaion,  for  Ihe  fellow  oontiniiM 
to  look  (urioiialy  at  me,  produced  the  watch. 

'.Very  well,*  said  he,  taking  It  from  me.  *Now,

hiumelf  additional  point,  by  a  clever  application  of  a 
ready  ami  natural  wit,  whirh  he  iMmatmatd  in  a  very 
remarkable  ilegnm ;  and  so  nleaneil  did  he  toon  becoone, 
Itoth  with  himoelfand  hia  iriends,  in  deapiie  of  the  dit- 
heartening  circumstance  atttmdmg  hia  first  entrance 
into  the  room,  that  lie  atmoat  forgot,  in  Ihe  metrtnMAt 
which  folioweti,  the  insulting  conduct  of  Merton  ■,  and 
would,  perhsfM,  have  entirely  forgotlun  it,  had  not  the 
latter  repeated  it  mofe'than  once  in  the  eotUM  ot  lh«' 
evening. 

Th«  partr  aat  for  two  or  three  houra :  and,  in  tiMN 
time,  had  tutiDk  a  conaidenble  qnintity>  illlioiKh  mme 
of  them  wera  at  all  of  dissipated  haUU ;  bi|t  the 
approaching  marriage  of  their  friend  Brooks,  and  the 
unexpeolMness  of  their  meeting,  was  ihoni^t  a  anf- 
licient  excuse  for  a  little  extra  iBdulganoa  oa  this 
occaaion. 

On  leaving  the  hotise  in  which  they  had  beea  Mj<^ 
ing  themselves,  the  two  friends  of  Brooks  and  Mertbji 
accompanied  them  aomo  distance  on  their  way  home. 
At  parting,  the  former  happened  to  remain  for  an 
instant  behind  the  latter,  to  speak  to  one  of  the  youni , 
men  with  whom  tiiey  had  upent  the  evening,  when 
Morton,  impatient  of  the  delay  ttiua  oceasioneo,  called 
out  to  Brooks — **  Captain,  I  say,  are  you  coming  1** 

"  Yes,  I  am  coming,  Merton,**  replied  Aroolis, 
haughtily,  if  not  somewhat  fiercely  \  his  natural  inaei- 
bilily  of  temper  excited  at  once  by  the  liquor  he  had 
drank,  lhou|h  by  no  means  intoxicated,  and  the  inaalts 
he  had  received  during  the  eveain|.  ^>  I  am  ceaaing," 
ho  said,  approaching  Merton  while  he  spoke ;  "and, 
friend  Merton,"  he  went  on,  aAer  he  had  joined  bitt, 
and  the  two  were  proceeding  on  their  way  together— 
«  I  would  advise  you  to  drop  (hot  sneering  manner  of 
Toura'  towards  ate,  in  the  presence  of  other  people  }  or," 
no  iiaid,  "you  may  faro  all  (he  worse  for  it.  .iTae 
have  inaulted  roe  thia  nigl^t  repeatedly,  an  joa  have 
often  done  before  ;  but  beware  of  broken  bdnea.  Mtm, 
there's  a  bit  of  my  mind  for  you,  my  lad,"  he  added  $ 
"  and  I  will  tell  you  more,  Merton— if  it  had  aot  i»eeB

l^ip  was  un.li-r  weigh  ;  and  Fanny  Ruihrrford  had 
floiiimonccd  her  tll-atarrcti  voyage  to  iha  Kimf. 

On  iha  alii|)'<  arrival  at  CakuHa.  whu  h  "ha  rcarhad 
in  aafuiy  and  in  diif  counw  \iX  lime,  among  ilio  (Irat 
paraona  who  oamo  on  board  of  her  tve ra  Knebum  and 
CrvMinghaai.  Fanny  waa  down  below  in  lli«  cabin, 
•nd  In  th«  art  of  packing  a  amall  Irunh,  prv|>aratory  to 
kbr  going  aahore,  when  Kaebum  eniarad.  Tlw  mw- 
aitet  the  p<M)r  girl  aaw  hint,  the  flaw  towanta  him 
with  an  exiirrMion  of  the  wililr-t  drlight.  Dui,  oh  t 
ftmd  and  i-onfiding  hoart,  what  a  ■hnrk  waa  it  to  thee  ; 
witat  »,  wiUiering  aenaation  wna  thine — when  you 
IbmKi  your  warm  and  grneruua  impuliea  rvceived  with 
•  eold  ahd  diatnnt  rlvility  l^for  In  auch  manner  did 
AMbum  now  receive  the  gentle,  aflertionate,  and  un- 
•uapecting  girl,  who  had  t-roMfd  the  'rude  ocean,' 
laA  klndird  and  home,  to  follow  hia  fortune* — the  for-  , 
Uinca  of  the  mon  alie  loved— in  n  far  diitlant  land. 

In  thia  alrocioua  rondurt  of  RauburnV,  there  waa 
policy  aa  well  aa  nnlural  heailieMneai ;  far  he  waa  de- 
•iroua  of  difguating  her  with  hia  coldiieaa  ;  and  thua 
praparing  the  way  for  the  aJdreaaea  of  Creaaingham. 
Of  thia  part  of  the  villain'*  deaign,  Ffnny   waa,  of 
coorae,  utterly  ignorant ;  but  the  quirk  discerning  eye 
of  love  enabled  her  irmtantly  lo  detect  the  brutal  'and 
nngracioua  manner  of  Hooburn,  ao  dilTerenl  from  whet 
■ho  had  expected;  and  the  dirrovery  fell  upon  her 
■pirtt  with  the  most  <Jkdly  eflect-     She,  however, 
.  aiada  no  comploiiit ;  but  it  waa  evident  that  the  man- 
Bcr  or  her  reception  by  her  deceiver  had  aunk  deep 
lato  her  heart.     Poor  Fanny  proceeded  with  the  pack- 
ing of  her  little  trunk  in  silence— f  silence  interrupted 
only  by  an  occasional  sigh,  long  drawn,  and  heavy 
Ikden  with  grief.    Tean^  too,  might  have  been  detected 
■(ealing  down  her  eheeka,  were  It  not  that  ah«  kept 
ker  head,  purposely,  too  eloaely  over  the  trunk  lo  per- 
nit  their  being  seen .    In  the  work,  too,  in  which  ahe 
was  employed,  bo  it  observed,  Raeburn  did  not  oBer 
her  the  amallest  assistance,  hut  continued  wnlking  up 
•nd  down  the  cabin,  whistling  carelesoly,  and  Jooking 
•t  the  prints  with  which  the  walls  were  hung. 

Thia  waa  the  acene,  then,  in  the  cabin,  when  Rae- 
bom,  after  the  lapse  of  a  quarter  of  an  hour  or  ao  from 
the  time  of  his  first  descending,  suddenly,  and  without 
giving  Fanny  the  leaat  previoua  notice  of  his  intention, 
went  to  the  foot  or  the  cabin  atair,  and  called  loudly 
on  CrMaingham,  who  waa  on  ileck.  Creaaingham  apr 
peaicd  Mt  the  rabin  ddor; 

*Why'dnnH  you  come  downl*  aeid  Raeburn. — 

^^^ipd  k«  (btlowed  up  thia  query  with  a  significant  wink. 

f^^Why,  I  waited  till  I  ahould'^be  called,'  replied 

Creaaingham,  with  a  knowing  amile ;  at  the  aametime 

— pomtnirtting  hia  deacent  into  the  mhin. — '. 1 


rimlly  wiped  her  eyea,  and  stood  up  to  receive  lh«

terate (torn  her  rounlenaneo  the  Iraeea  of  the  mksoraUo

reniBiiied  but  too  plain  \  and  were  at  once  iletacied  by 
CreMinglism,  who,  in  place  of  being  movad  lo  com- 


paaaion  by  them  for  the  unhanpy  girl, 
aa  welrome  Indiraiiuna  of  Icelints 


looked  on  them

(-lir.  CnMingham,  Fanny,'  aaid  Raeburn,  when  the 
Ibmir^tiiMi  <^wn-<-'  a  very  particular  friend  of  mihe.* 
Fanny,  1Mr«hiiain(  her  head  from  the  trunk,  bur- 


favour  his  own  advanceei  inasmuch  aa  they  beapoke  a 
dlaaallsfBclinn  on  the  part  of  Fanny,  at  obm  with  h«r 
situation  and  with  Raalitirn. 

It  licing  now  Cressinghsm's  lime  to  liegin  the  per. 
furmance  of  hia  ymtX  of  the  nefarious  plot,  he  advanced 
lowanls  Misii  Rutherford  with  one  of  his  most  gracioiM 
looks,  and  welcomed  her  lo  Calcutta.     Then,  niaring 
himself  in  a  chair  directly  oppoaile  lo  tier,  and  leanina 
forward  Uiwarda  her  till  he  had  nearly  thruat  hia  heea 
into  her  face,  he  began  a  strain  of  th«  moat  impertinent 
adulation,   not  unmiiij|led  with  eipreasions  of  a  leal 
harniless  character.     These  last  did  no«  escs|ie  Fanny, 
who  deeply  fell  the  insult  they  involved,  although  ah« 
waa  already  too  much  humbled  in  apirit  to  reaent  itiem. 
When  Creasinghani    had   taken    up   the    poailion 
described,  and  had  begun  the  nauseous  liadinaie  allu- 
ded to,  Kaebum,  on  B«ime  trifling  pretence,  left  tlio 
cobin  and  went  on  deck.     The  motive  for  thia  procee- 
ding will  at  once  present  itself  to  the  reader.     Crea»< 
Ingham,  finding  himself  thtis  left  alone  with  Fannj, 
waa  proceeding  to  use  otiier  libertiea  than  thoee  of 
apeech  \  and   had  already,  «viih  the  moat  impudent 
familiarity,  thrown  one  of  hia  arma  around  Mlaa  Ruth- 
erford's neck,  when,  with  a  violent  effort,  she  extrica- 
ted herself  from  him,  and  ruahed,  in  a  atate  of  freat 
aaitation   and  alarm,  up  the  cabin  ataIr,  calliag  o« 
Henry,  who  waa,  at  the  moment,  standing  at  the  alam 
of  the  veseel,  and  directly  opposite  the  cabin  door. 

Guesaing,  or  rather  knowing  very  well,  the  cauae  of, 
Fanny's  outcry  and  terror,  he  went  towarda  her,  and 
sternly  and  angrily  atked  her,  •  What  ahe^  made  ail 
thia  noise  for  f 

<0!  Henry !  Henry!'  exclaimed  the  agiuted  glri, 
<  take  me  out  of  this,  lake  me  out  of  thia.  Let  ua  go 
on  ahoiT,  Henry,  directly.  Do,  do,  let  ua  go  on  ahore 
for  I  will  not  go  down  Into*,  that  cabin  again.' 

•  Pho,  you  ailly  fool,  you  I'  replied  Raeburn,  barah- 
ly.  « What  are  you  afraid  oft  Don't  you  like 
Creaaingham  t  He's  an  excellent  fellow,  only  a  little 
rough  or  ao,  now  and  then ;  but  not  a  pin  the  worae  for 
that  Why,  he'a  one  of  the  bandaomeat  and  ricbeat 
fellows  in  Calcutta,  and  half  the  f  ria  ii|  the  town  are 
cocking  tlieir  rape  at  him.*  #.       ■«„ 

« I  have  nothing  to  Bay  to  or  of  Mr.  CreaingnaaBt 
Henry,'  replied  Fanny.  •  All  that  I  aak  of  you,  la 
to  take  me  immediately  ashore.' 

With  thia  request,  Kaebum,  aeeing  that  It  would  not 
be  advisable  to  puah  matters  further  at  that  moment, 
aulkily  complied.  A  boat  waa  ordered  alongaide. 
Fanny'a  luggage  was  placed  in  it,  and  ^,  Raebarn,  and 
Creaaingham,  were  forthwith  rowed  «  ahore,  where,

It  instantly  brouglit  on  a  criait  In  that  diaeaoe  of  the

in  whom  Fanny'a  gentle  nature  and  hard  (kle— of 
which  alie,  too,  had  galhrred  aomeihing  during  the

^ia  ntean  and  daolordly  aoul  inatantly  ainking  under  th«

raithfully  Mttoanilng  hia  pledge,  Dr.  Ifendereou,  Ml 
the  following  day,  wrote  to  Fanny'a  fklher,  whoae  ad- 
dntaa  he  had  ikarned  from  her  while  ailen<ling  her,  and 
detailed  all  h«l  knew,  ami  lliia  waa  nearly  all  thai  waa

which  eara|)etl  hr r  liuring  her  leiiiporory  fH*  <>f  delirium, 
anived  at  a  kiiowkilgo  of  thi<  whole  truth.  Having 
executed  Ihia  part  of  hia  threat,  Pr.  ilenderaon  ae( 
diligently  about  lha  remaining  portion,  whirh  waa  to 

(Ive  all  tha  publicity  he  rould  to  the  adtry  of  Raebom'a 
«fa»y  I  and  ao  aucceaafol  Waa  ha  in  hia  eflTorta  in  thia 
way  nxt  he  had  the  aatitfaction  in  a  very  ahort  time  of 
aee'ng  him  ahunned  by  ail  hiaacqiiaintancea,  and  oom- 
pteCely  ilclwirred  from  rr»n*«-i8l.le  a^n^ety. 

After  Fanny'a  death,  Kufburn  ha»l  evinced  a  diap»- 
tiflon  to  loke  an  |ctlv6  part  in  her  ol)ae<tuiea  ;  and  vnm 
expii;aatd  k  itiinngneaa  to  defray  the  whole  of  the  Aiaa- 
fal  chargai.  But  thia  Dr.  Henderaon  wodld  on  no 
account  permit.  Neither  would  he  auOer  him  to  inter- 
fere in  kny  way  whatever  with  the  funeral  ritca  i  Iho 
whole  expenae  of  whirh  he  inaialrd  on  paying  oqt  of

advantage  the  Doctor  poaaeaaed  over  him,  to  otiisr  any 
raaiatance  to  theae  pervmptory  obiectioni. 

Thiia  atoud  mattera,  then,  with  Raebum,  and  thtM 
they  remained  for  kbout  eighteen  inoniha  afterwaida.— 
He  atill,  during  alf  thia  time,  continued  in  poaaeaaioa 
of  hit  aitualion  ;  but  hia  aiipvrioni|  who  were  w«ll  ae- 
cniiinted  with  the  atory  of  hia  villany  to  Miaa  Iluthar- 
ford,  were  tfagerly  and  anxioualy  watching  for  an 
opftoHunitir  to  diamlM  him.  They  did  not  feel  that 
they  would  have  been  warranted  in  diacharging  him  for 
hia  infamoua  conduct  on  the  occaaion  alluded  to,  aa  H 
waa  a  natter  of  which  they  had  no  right,  officiallyt  to 
take  cognisance ;  but  they  had  deibrmiDed  that  tho 
alighleat  dereliction  of  duty  on  nia  part  ahould  coat  him 
hia  aitoat'ioB.  Of  diie,  Raebum  waa  pMfortly  aware  | . 
and  it  required  all  hia  diligence,  eiMo,  and  attantioa  t«f

guinhed  fn»m  llie  ollmm  by  |»eculiariii<9a  which  «l«ar^-a 
aoma  nolire.  The  flnrt  waa  tha  houa^ma.d,  a  peraon 
of  the  name  of  Jean  Croabia,  a  Catholic,  and  one  of 
Iha  moat  Intolerant  uf  ihe  foUowera  of  that  faith.  8ha 
waa  conaidered  by  iha  naighbo<ira  aa  being  v»ry  hand^ 
aoma  ;  and  her  own  opinion  did  not  ahame  that  of  her 
admirera— for  ahe  waa  viin,  kaugbty,  ami  overbearing. 
She  waa  fond  of  cullivaling  ibe  g<HMl  opinion  of  her 
maaler  j  and  it  waa  even  allc|«»l  thai  ahe  aipired  to 
have  aonte  claim  on  hia  aflimiona.  She  liMik  the 
greateat  libertiea  wiih  hia  name  in  but  convrraaiiona, 
calling  him  by  hia  aumame,  artd  alwaya  giving  out 
oliacure  hinta  thai  ihe  had  a  power  Aver  him  thai  ha 
would  not  l»e  much  inclined  lo  acknowledge.  Theaa 
aaaumpliona  were,  in  aoroe  degree,  l)ome  out  by  facta 
— al  leaat  there  oould  lie  no  doubl  that  thia  quean  of 
the  broom  exereiae«i,  wit^  the  permiaaion  of  her  maa- 
ler, great  power  over  the  other  aervanUf  and  bar 
tyranny  and  abuae,  though  complained  of  by  tham,  waa 
not  attamled  to  by  their  maaler  with  that  arnae  of  juatii« 
and  fair  play  which  marked  die  other  parte  of  hia  charw 
acter.  Indeed,  complainia  of  that  nature  ended  oAen 
in  tha  diamiaaal  of  the  complainer — on  thagrnund  thai 
diflturbenoea,  which  could  not  be  underalood,  ware  baat 
ended  by  aeparalion,  whoever  might  be  in  tiie  wrong. 

The  other  aarvant,  to  whom  alluaion  haa  bean  made, 
waa  an  Itraeiite,  of  the  name  of  Moaaa  Mendelaohn, 
certainly  an  unuaual  paraooage  to  be  found  in  the  houae 
of  a  Chriatian.  It  waa  not  vrall  known  how  Moaaa 
came  to  lake  up  hia  reaidence  in  that  hoaae ;  but  It  waa 
generally  atated  that  Glendonwvn  found  him,  one  day, 
fying  froaen,  apparently  to  death,  on  a  partyof  hia  1*0- 
party,  and  directed  him  to  be  tak*«  to  th4  kitebea, 
where  the  heat  of  a  large  flre»  and  a  good  aupplyof 
aoup,  aoon  reatored  him  to  hia  wonted  condition.  The, 
graUtode  of  the  man  overcame  the  pmudieaa  fi  1km 
exelualTe  aeet  to  which  be  belonged,  and  he  pragMl  lo

burnt  al)out  your  oars.  If  I  escape  any  sueh  attempt 
aa  that  I  a|ieak  of,  ihla  I  wouhl  do  wiih  my  own  h«ml. 
If  I  am  taken,  tliero  are  certain  friemla  of  mine  that 
will  do  it  for  i;ie,  and,  perbapa,  blow  your  brains  out  to 
the  bargain.'  „ 

Having  said  this,  the  stranger,  after  biddbg  tm 
honker  good  morning,  stalked  deliberately  ont  of  the  . 
oRico^  leaving  tho  latter  to  hia  own  reflectioaa  oh  #hat 
had  just  taken  place. 

Fully  confiding,  aa  he  had  good  reason  to  do,  in  th« 
threat  which  had  beenThold  out  to  him,  he  did  not 
attempt  to  foMow  his  tremendoua  vW«er|  but  »\tKtd 
gaxing  In  rueful  silence,  on  his  retiring  figure  as  he  lefl 
the  office.  There  waa  another  reason,  however,  foif 
the  banker's  forbearance  on  this  occssion.  The  draft 
which  he  had  paid,  he  felt  aasured,  was  genuine  ;  he 
only  dotibted  the  circumstancea  in  which  it  had  *p- 
peared,  and  waa,  therefore,  secure  from  pecuniary  loss 
-<i-8  0ifcitmB(anee  Whitih  h«d  due  weight  with  bin,  and 
which  effectually  reconciled  hiHa  to  the  escape  of  Hit 
customer. 

And'  now,  good  reader,  you  will  he  somewhat 
curious  to  ki»ow,  wo  presume,  who  this  strange  person 
was.  He  waa  a  celebmtftd  Highland  fi^booter  of  the 
name  of  John  Dhu  CaiMeron,  of  Servant  Mor,  a«  he 
was  called  .in  his  native  country,  from  his  l*rgo  ptature. 
The  onler,  whoee  odd  proceee  of  being  cAsl^ed  we  have 
deseribedy  woa  extorted  from  a  gentlemaA  wiiom  the 
•ergeant  met  with  in  the  Highlands}  and  who  waa 
detained  a^maoner  by  hia  gang,  bat  treated  with  oroch 
beapitality,  until  John  Dhi^s  return  with  tiie  money, 
when  be  waa  liberated  and  escorted  to  a  place  of  safety. 
The  proceeding  of  the  sengeaht,  in  the  oaae  just  related, 
waa  a  bold  one  ;  for  he  was  well  known,  Mid  ran  great 
flak  of  being^  taken  and  hanged.    But  fertupe  favours 


the  brave  ;  and  John,  as  we  have  seen,  sncceeded  in 
bringing  the  dangcrooa  transaction  to  a  bap|iy  con« 
daaiott.  -^        $

Before  aprending  abroad  the  caliminiaua  reporta  by

or  rather  early  hour,  impaneil  no  alleviation  lohiadia- 
tracled  feelings.     Wild  and  sleepless,  he  pared  bark-

allampting  to  allay  lh«  agony  of  hia  spirit  by  reiie*«d 
appliealiona  to  the  wine-flask.      But  such  means,  be, 
like  many  before  and  afWr  him,  found  in«daqualo  to 

Or  pissk  (torn  tk«  lissrt  •  rao««i  loeiow. 

In  thia  wretched  atotedid  he  continue  till  the  followiiig 
mornina,  when  he  waa  aroused  frtiro  hia  franlic  rever- 
iea  by  the  buMie  ocraaioned  by  Ihe  country  people  o* 
their  way  to  the  church.  In  a  alato  ofmadn«fa,b* 
resolved  to  seek  there,  for  hia  menial  sufleringa,  a  miti- 
gation which  he  had  aoiight  for  in  vain  within  the  walla 
of  hia  own  dwelling.  Accordingly  wrapping  hia  cln»k 
around  him,  he  hastened  thiiher,  and  seated  himself  is 
i  pew  immediately  in  front  of  the  pulpit.  The  ap- 
pearance of  hia  featurea,  agitated  by  hia  internal  ein'r 
tiona,  aa  well  aa  by  the  meana  which  he  had  reaortod 
to  for  cpiellinR  ibem,  exhibited  a  striking  conlraat  to  lh« 
calm  and  aesene  expnaaion  of  face  borne  by  the  niatica, 
who  sat  around  him  contented  and  happy. 

Al  length  an  aged  ond  venerable  roan  alalked  up  tha 
aisle,  entered  the  pulpit,  and  gave  out  the  paalm.  H« 
waa  Daniel  Douglas,  who,  with  Sir  Patrirk  Hume,  tli« 
celebrated  knight  of  Polwarth,  ha«l  been  obliged  to  abdi- 
cate his  charge  and  aeet  refuge  far  aome  yeara  in  Hol- 
land, during  ihe  evil  daya  of  Ihe  Peraecution ;  bol  whmn 
the  mow  tranquil  period  subsequent  to  the  Revolution 
had  reinatatod  in  the  paaloral  charge  of  the  pariah  d 
Hilton.  He  waa  a  ataitch  ami  unhemling  advocate  of 
the  nilea  anddoctrineaof  whatwaa  called  the  Heform- 
ed  religion,  which  he  had  boldly  asaertetl  and  defended^ 
when  to  have  done  ao  waa  conaidereU  a  crime. 

The  paalm  aung  and  the  prayer  ended, « Come  unto 
me,  all  ye  who  labour  ai\d  are  heavy  laden,  and  I  will 
give  you  real,'  waa  the  text  announced  by  the  venei**

'  alrooat  immediately  re-aasuming  it— 'You  cm j^ve  m

For  a  mement  Ihe  divine  lifted  hia  eyea  from  (he  nfi

many  of  the  old  people  of  the  country  still  remember

Such  ia  the  legend  of  the  female  wafrior  of  Ancrum 
Muir. 


THE  SIEGE  OF  COCKLAW&.  ' 

CocKt/iwa,  n  small,  insignificant  Border  lower,  whicfii 
iwmd  ita  little  ormed  balilemenrs  in  proud  perching 
majeaty,  about  the  time  of  the  regency  of  the  deceitful 
Albany,  was,  as  is  pretty  well  known,  the  adane  of  a . 
■lege,  ntemorable  for  the  object  with  which  it^waa  un- 
4terUken,  and  not  lose  so  for  the  -ludicroaa  cinumatan- 
Mt  with  which  it  was  attended. 
'  Thia  warlike  banUm,  so  appropriately  termed  Oock- 
^wi,  waa  owned  by  John  Qreenlaw,  a  person  not 
^pit*,  \n  his  physical  nftributea,  to  the  little  tower 'of 


wklch^he  was  proprietor.     He  was  a  man  about  five 
#ii  in  heii^t}  wiln^rry  eyes,  which  had  a  ^peculiar 


Aery  brilliancy,  iadicailva  oftliaapirll  wiUl  whici  k«  '• 
waa  endowed.  Acitvo  and  nimble,  ha  was  as  laailaaa 
as  an  Imprisoned  |H>piiij*y,  and  did  iml  fail  lo  astapa 
rrum  th«  small  tower  whivh  ha  called  the  teat  of  hia 
■iMngih,  to  Imitita  the  grvat  robliera  of  iht  Mtf««<  '• 
making  fraa  with  tlie  pn)|)orty  of  his  n»ighl)«0»»4  imdar 
the  shailo  of  ilia  diaordera  wliioh  pravailad  at  thai  «•• 
hsiipy  |i«riod. 

Though  •mall  ami  innlgnificant  in  hia  pivtoo,  Green- 
law conBid«'r«d  himwlfa  very  powerful  man,  sndnolh. 
ing  annoyed  Mm  mora  than  being  neal^cted  as  a  paraon 
whom  it  waa  baneath  tlia  dignity  of  elevated  revanga 
to  chaaliaa.     Hia  excursions  were  like  ihoae  of  a  hunt- 
at.     Ha  did  little  oxrcution,  but  mad*  a  grvat  noiaa. 
His  towef  was  so  iiimgnificaiit,  that  he  had  nowhera  to 
put  hta. spoil,  even  whrn  U  wss  ierurtd  ;  but  ihia  did 
not  prevent  him  front  exercising  elrrnai  *  liervclnps'  all 
around  him,  not,  indeed,  to  any  extent  sufficient  to 
draw  upon  him  tho  uiiention  of  the  great,  but  still  suf- 
Bf  iont  to  goad,  while  thero  was  nA  power  to  deatrov , 
Nothing, however,  would  have  givan  the  Laird  of  Cock- 
lawa  greater  pleosure,  than  to  have  seen  the  Earl  of 
Dmigiss,  or  some  such  prcat  pcrsonsgr,  stoon  to  notJra   * 
his  sggressions.    He  lalnMircd  incessantly  to  bo  th^tiil;* 
a  great  Border  raider,  but  found  himself  stiU  clasled 
among  the  inalgnificant  herd  of  iietty  depredati^. 

Ha  did  not  fail  lo  make  himrelf  well  kii«iivn-4  for  hia 
clever,  fiery  bickerings,  anji  jiertinacfoiia  *exf  uraiona, 
carried  his  name  everywhere,  but  hia  fame  nowhara. 
Hia  ambition  to  be  ihooght  a  gteat  'king  of  ihe  <«>"/;* 
Wka  iiotorioua  ; — tho  common  people  smiled  al  hi* 
weak  and  innocuous  vanity,  while  the  great  barona 
^looked  upon  hun  ps  a^uniming  waap,  which,  though  a 
little  annoying,  did  |ot  deserve  to  be  killed  by  the  hon- 
ourable arm  of  a  knight;  Occasionally,  he  waa  hon- 
oured with  a  hearty  chastisement  from  some  of  the 
common  people,  wheti  he  ventured  to  meddle  with, 
their  property  ;  but  when  thiik  happened,  he  saved  hia 
honour,  by  prctei\difig  that  the  proprietar  of  Cooklawa 
Mn8idei«<lit  benealMym'  to  give  battle  to  a  peraoa 
\vno  could  tifd  even  Kokat  of  being  a  umple  esquire. 

Occisionally  he  made  an  attack  up«o  the  caatlea  of 
the  great  barons  ;  but  Ra  did  this  merely V^in  a  char- 
acter, and  to  keep  up  his  self-deception  of  BKjiga^graet 
Border  warrior.  It  waa  seldom  tliat  much  attention 
waa  paid  lo  hia  skirtnishes ;  it  was  aufitcient  that  the 
attack  waa  madjLby  Greenlaj*.;  ond  if  any  fears  were 
entertained  ihaMie  might  terrify  the  women.  It  waa 
only  necessary-  to  send  put  |  few  men,  who  very  art- 
dom  hod  much  troubli  in,  fciaking,  the  littlei  warrior 
retire,  which  he  generally  did  with  the  nimbleat  celerity, 
giving  out  as  hia  apology,  that  if  the  baron  did  not 
choose  to  head  his  men,^  could  not  expect  a  lair  bat- 
tle from  Cocklaws. 

Like  otherlUtlemin,  Coeklawa'had  a  large  wiiiv. 
She  was  the  very  opposite,  in  every  respect,  to  her 
husband— a  fat,  gaucy,  good-humoured  RnglisfawomaOf 
who  looked  upon  the  warlike  bantam,  with  whom  ahe 
was  matedy  when  very  young,  by  the  command  of  her 
iSither,  with  the  determination  to  be  amused  with  what 
she  could  not  get  rid  of.  When  he  came  In  ftem  hie 
forays,  he  generally  made  a  tremendoua  clanBOur  for 


lefieshment,  aUting,  that  the  aoldier  waa  surelT  worthr 
of  hia  hire,  and  that,  if  he  devofed  himaelf  to  tho  hart'

Wwiapicioni  of  the  wldiera  directed  «o  hH-ahtiea. 
TakiiW  advantage  of  that  error,  Maxwell  went  direct 
to  Ito  pariah  of  Urr,  where  he  knew  there  were  many 
wflioliM  who  would  lay  down  their  livea  for  hia  MivBr 


-  Clothed  in  the  prb  of  a  common  labourer,  the  pro-

Ha  «.«a  in  a  atcte  of  great  exhauaiion,  as  well  aa  of

At  this  RMNnent  Maxwell  thought  he  heard  mm 
anund  of  Ihe  troonera,  and,  taking  advantafe  a' J^ 
qusliA«>d  consent  of  ttie  old  wom8n,alepC  forwaid,  «fMI

His  first  resolution  waa  t«>  g»t  beneath  the  bed  |  k«* 
that  was  olijerled  In  by  the  old  woman  aa  unwiaar  for, 
as  she  rfmsrke«l,  thsi  was  the  very  Aral  niaee  hie  p«ii*

cheer  your  sorrowfu'  heart. '  i    ' 

The  «dea  waa  excellent.      Maxwell   ImmediaMf 
mounted,  g.n  out  at  the  skylight,  and,  laying  hia 
along  the  thalrhcd  roof,  looked  Jew*  upon  hia  • 
lionsl  proierlrcKs  with  gratitude.  *  N  *-    _ 

•  Now,*  said  the  old  woman,'  •  I  can  safely  lay  yoa

your  being  in  my  house,  save  ane  o'  my  ain  faith  aad

Maxwell  sa**  the  importance  of  the  jndaical  aa»» 
struclion  which  the  woman  was  inclined  to  pat  ubm 
her  answer,  and  it  cheered  his  drooping  spirital^aj
