of the vessel rendered his " confusion worse eoflfound* •

■loud and inquired—" who brought them ashoro f In
vain the sergoant demanded that ho should rome down
and opon tlie gates, and In vain ho brandished hia
awonl and his company their bayoncta, for Mark
laughed the more. Finding their threats and the Aour-
iahing of their weapons of no ertect, they began to
gather stOnea, and hurled at hia head a volley of
miaailee. Mark crouched for a moment behind the
battlement) and apringing up aa the shower of atones
had fallen beyond him, levelled bin lirelock, and
touching the trigger, carried away a portion of tlio
right cheek and ear of tho sergeant commanding in
ebief. He raised his hand to his head, and a» he
■hooled — " I*in shot I— I'm deod !"— hia followers
turned upon their heels, and " fled for lofety and for
■uccour r and, as he shouted and they ran, again
Maik'a loud laugh was heard half over the islond.
Throughout the night Launcelot made such signals as
had bien agreed on, but the day dawned and neither
tha French privntcors, nor tlie troop that General
Foaterwaa to aend, arriv)^ to hia assistance. *
The Aring of the two pieces of cannon on the pre-
vioua day had attracted the at^tion of the inhabitants
of Berwick, and the commander of the garrison, pro-
e«eding with glaaa in hand to the Look-out upon the

arriving at Ileal liuahest t''*>y diroctvd their marvh upon

Mark, being told by hia unrle to keep his eyea in

pen^eive theiti, and calling to his uncle he i n t d ■
'* Well, yond«c is a gmidly coropan* jo( rad utmM

may be callo«l suUUiod irony.
" Not splice mo if they are, nephew I** anawend

Aa the tide began to eblt, wliati a abort time befoiv,

raiing the island from the .maiii-tand, Wcame a drt

about lifty men, marched forwani to tho foot of the
rock on which tho sinuU tMit formidable Castle stands,
and Huinmoned ita occupatits to surrender at diaer^

" You, air, may aurrender if you please," an a i wu i d

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:

treble galea, for there waa tho Engliah gate where the

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.

On the following day, twoofflcen called at William

A pmc^ltion waa now led by' the crown lawyera.

between IVler CoAnal ami William Glenday, on ibedaj
of the murder, rM{iecting the amount pf ih« toelier
which Prter'a aon waa to gat from William Glenday
with Ilia duiighlrr. Thia evidrnre the crown-« Ac^
i;onc«kv<»«l to lie very atrong, and nothing that the Pri-
aoner could aay lenJed to aRVrl It. The gentleman In
whom, on the night that (he munirr waa fifriieiniied, ha
aakl he conveyed the hound, waa a frenchman, ih«i
living in liOith, who wiahtnl to Introduce a brred into
France, foe which country he bad departed. He,
thcrefiNT^ could not prove an alibf. In addition lo all
thia, the awoni iiirii waa prtnlucrd, and a coal WM

Vaid that Mary Glenday had nearly fainted one day
when he took down the awoiti lo look at il.
Aa thia evidence gradually tranipired and came to
the ear* of Mary, the rflect pntduced upon her waa of
a character ao intcnto that no |icnon thuughl^e eueld
atipport life under ita operation. A aeriea of awoona lor
many daya »«emed lo divide her life from death. Hef

raving, and (wid no attention to her wild requeal |
though they could nipt reatrain their leani when they
thought of the extraordinary fate of the unfortunate girl.
Her early and romantic lovo for Jolin Connal — the in-

The Italian otruck the woman violentlr, who frB,

wnid, Giulio fled, pursued by the threata and impieea-
Uona of Mary, who, upon returning, wfa gratelU to
John for delivering her fltmi his violence.
Next day, Mary Gray was exsmined by the preeti-
rator-flacal. She gave a detailed account 6t Qinllo^
having bribed her to steal William Glenday'i swnrdi
and aiUirwania, when he had killed Peter Connal, to
throw blood on Olenday'a coat, aa be paaied her door.
John Connal gave next hia account of the eonveraatioa
he had heanl between the Italian and Mary Gray.
-X)lher Hvitnesoea were nxamined lo prove GiulioS
'quanxfl with Fetor, and also with William Gknday }
and one man stated that, when Giulio juined the people
who were nwliirg out of the Palace, to aee the ftay,
he seemed to come to them at an angle, aa if he had
not come direct from the Palace. In addition to ill
this, Mary Glenday, who was examined in bed, p«« a
satisfactory account of her actinga, aa they have been
already detailed.
The aspect of matters waa now chaitged. WiUhiat
Glondny wan liberated, and the Italian put in hia|riaee.
He was afterwaida tried, condemneo, and hanged.
Mary Glenday recovered, and explained everythlM to
the satisfaction of her lover, to whom ahe waa amr-
vrarda matried.

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

quitted the aervice. I went to America, ahd, to New-

one,) and hiar parenia, And thitre, all that I could learn
waa— that her father bad died lifteen yeara'ij^, and
th^j my W^ife, with an inbnf daughter, had gone, to
England. I re-croaaed the Atlantic in the first vefeael I
eould find. I determined to search for W tbroufrh

approaching marriage of their friend Brooks, and the
unexpeolMness of their meeting, was ihoni^t a anf-

On leaving the hotise in which they had beea Mj<^

accompanied them aomo distance on their way home.
At parting, the former happened to remain for an

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

Baeburn'a villany, good reader, la now before yoa
fully and fairiy. The converwHion juat recorded waa
no joke, bu^aahe himaeff acknowledted, downright

that a piece of more hearileaa depravity ia not upon r«-

viUany Imaginary, i or the character of HIehum the

tnied, and the villain actually lived.

wssto get Fanny out; the ne«t, to g.t her I«ln»*»

lo acconittany tis thliher for a moment.
The year ha(d a good while expired, which RaebaM
hod fixed on. In bis Isst letter to Fanny, aa ^ 9f^
when he'shi.uld afcnd for her »o join him at Calcutta!
and the poor girl wus looking fondly and anxiously nff
the promised invilalion ; but, for several montha, ah«
waa again doomed to suffer all the poina of auapeaaa
and disappointment. From this, however, she was M
length relieved, by the anpesrance of the longexpec*
ted letler. Thia, like all ita pretleceaaora, waa Blled
with the moat ujndcr expressions of regard and r^a^
• II is now,' said the writer, « with the most heartfahr--
hay, Uiis is far Um Uine a phrase— it is with adalig^
my beloved Fanny, which I cannot find languaf» td

which t now find myaelf, warrant me in •"'j''"^/*''

dearest, ilearert Funhv, ns you value iny happlnem^

added a great many particular directiona, aa to Faaoyf

atrain, alao, he finally ended, . , ^^ .^.^
Aa in the former casf, Tanny inatanUy t»«n »»

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
— p o mtnirtting hia dea c ent into the mhin . — '. 1
rimlly wiped her eyea, and stood up to receive lh«
alrangar ) but it waa wholly out of the poor girl'a pow-
er thtts auddenly to rv|»in her eomiioau're, or to obli-
terate (torn her rounlenaneo the Iraeea of the mksoraUo
feelings with which her aoul waa agonlacil. Theao
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
that
prom
lied to
(-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,
the moment they landed, the latter after whiaperint

benumb every faculty, and to proatrate every aenae j
and, aa one thu» imictod, nt jwor Fanny Rutherford

That evening, the flmt of her arrival, Kaehurn,
eofltrary to hia promiae, did nbt again vialt her ; but
Craaaingham came in hia (flacc, and dreadful wai iho

intruder, in the name of Heaven, not to come near

ahe OKclalmed, in a tone of bitter agony. 'If there be

will leave me inatantly. For the loveof Heaven,' aho
again nspeated, • and of all that you hold dear, leave

The o?[treme agitation, the terror and ouloriea of the

greaa, and' bltuight aeveral peroona that were in the

oonaidered imminent; and he waa not miataken.
Deeply intareated in the unfortunate girl, from whom

there'a an avenging God above that will aeek out and
make a terror and example of thoae who haVa batu

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,

not attamled to by their maaler with that arnae of juatii«

in tha diamiaaal of the complainer — on thagrnund thai
diflturbenoea, which could not be underalood, ware baat

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

prosaed hia lips together with an tlr of fixed weoluUon.
"When he had doiic—
•So, so,' replied the bearer of the rejected draft.
* jou don't like the order. It'a auspicious, you thi*.'
Here he turned suddenly round alwut, and threw a r»nid
glance Mroond the apartment, as if to be asatircd that
there was no one present but themselves. Then, again
caofronting the banker, • You don't like the order,' he
npeated, and, in the same instant, he plunged his hand
' 'beneath hia plaid. ' Why, then, here's another, a gen-
sine one. What say you to Mat draft, Mr. Banker 1*
' And be pluted the muxzle of a pistol on the e(]g9 of

iftid iocoady, aa if he enjoyed the terror and alarm

of the banker. ' Bot, come,' he added, nwr6 aternly,
' like it or not, down with the mQB«y ; I've no time to

■aolence by a aignificant motion of the imposing

• Yoo had belter not,' replied thoatranger, 'elaeyoa

frith hia pistol.
Perreiving now that % wia both idle and dnngerooi
to Um{>er longer with his extraonlinary visiter, the
banker opened a huge iron do«a in the wall of the
apartment, close by where he had been simng, and
prooeedeil to count oat the amount of the draft which
he waa thua forcibly coin|)elled to honour.
• Now,' aaid the stranger, on putting (he laat handM
of the cein which had liecn told down to him into «
large leath<fn pume with wliirli he waa provided,
• that this latle matter is settled lietween im, I will tell
you something that may be worth your knowing. If
you attempt to follow me one single step, or if you
make the slightest effort la have me pursued, you may
rest sMtired of having your house, one of these nighta,
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. -^ $

Ihe moat auiuble huaband ri>r their young niiatraaa. The
calumniating report* spread abroad by the tatter, in pre-
judjee to Ilia rival, and the undoubted superiority he
•njoyod in point of wealth, afford tlie only way for
•ccouoiing for this ; for, in erery other re»iM>ct, he waa
hioomparably aurpancd by Lord Avondale j or, per-
hapa, the dignified, or, aa they suppoaed It, liaughtj
bearing of ilie loiter, might have prevented liim irora
Eining that place in Uieir eNtimalion, which ibe affa-
lity of his rival had pm^ured.
' Such was the nlate of ofTaira at Rnerloogh, and saeh

Ikted that the nuptiala between the young heireaa of

Before aprending abroad the caliminiaua reporta by

frpm the reception he had uniformly met with from
Madeline, tltat there reinainet) no proapect, even the

Still he had endeavoured to lull hisfeelingi, by the hope
that Avondale would not succeed in winning the huti
of her on whom he had raaotutelj, though in vwq, aet

or rather early hour, impaneil no alleviation lohiadia-

ward and forward in hia chaoilieri ai intervala, vainly
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

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

ble pareon. *You lie,' exclaimed hia abandoned
patron, at the aame time rising fifom. hia aeat } but

At thia prociae period of our atory, M'Pheraon had

thoae who live upoq or near Uie ooaala of tha WmI

dcaimiia of making their employment aa profitable aa
pofiible, they, though in aulBc'iently good circamataacM
to have hired aaahitanee, manned her thcmaelvea, and
tvilh laudable iiidtralry performed all the drudgery of
their laboriow occu|ration with their own handa.
Their boat, like all the Mhen employed in the hul-

In the anaon to which our atory refen, tha flatting

Lyie, who wu more Intent on the progrea* of hia
tutanded victim than tho lurreaa o( thr fight. The
LL : OTthuaiaam ofTurnbuil made him forget the countel of
Lilyard { and her Iruachemua brullicr, uking advan-
aof Turnbull'a engigement with the enemy, came
nd him, and, lifting hia aworil, made a plunge
AfMted lowarda the iMick of the devoted -youth. Tb«

wittahed tho motion, and received in hia boaom Uia
death that tvat intended for anoiher.' The fate of the
h«Uie ia well known. Turnbull earned whot he
wanted — fame; Sir VVilliain Lyio and his son were
b«lh alain | and, among the dead, woa dixrovered the
hoij of a voong **>J beautiful iemole, drcsai^d aa a
•oldier, and bearing a \vound on her bosom. ThiU^
(•oiale was I/ilyard Lyle. The spot on wjttchtho baf^

of the heroic maiden ;. and, though tlie iimcripiiou on
her broken and defaced mor^ttment is no lunger legible,
many of the old people of the country still remember
tha rude linea which it here.
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'

The partiee arrived, and, along with infm, the Uuke

A(W the warriora had taken«acni8, the conqueror
eettceived that it waa incumbent upon him tnahovv the
expected genewity of the lion. It waa, Je thought,
t noble opportunity for a diaplay of that liffiRng' which,.
ffMn the daya of Alexander arid C«aHr, had been
nhihited in the hour of triumpK and victory, by all
CMBuerors, to the victima qf thpir arma. He thought

phif of it would at once lower hia dignity and d^ftn-
«i«M liie boon of mercy he intended to voachaaia to

iMiinfrieiidlT character of the perpont who ciHtcealed
jhMu and who had litUo intere«t in their iecurity, than
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-
Mlator of ihe large ealatet of Orchnrdtown, haatened
U prt«reaa U, the place of hii hope. It «raa tale at
pight wlen he arrived at the little, but beautiful village
•r Dalbeatie, aituated on the banka of the angry Urr.
Ha «.«a in a atcte of great exhauaiion, as well aa of
■oli«it«4e— icar he iinew not— f"r he had hear»l, at
WfWal perioda, behind hioi, the tread of hor-es, which
Ilia hMlad iwiagiiialion at once coi.verted into thoae oT
troopera. Tkkmg no time to aelect a dwelling of •#
•Mhdie, h« fan up to the neareat door that pre-jnted
ilarirt and, BWng the latch, stood before an old vroman,
w1h> aal at a clear crackling 6re, smoking a short cutty
•a Waok as the rai that eat on her knee, and
h^ff pi MA- Therfc waa nothing for it but to
here, wi
|wi||oii.
« A «^ odd queaiiun. that, la thMB siranga

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
a view to explore the recesses of the humble apartaMsV
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*

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 l ay 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
he suspected the poesibillly of the soldieia pdHiafJM^
a question aa would plnce the old woman'a ronaeiaitoa»

Harry the Eighth of England, who had long kept many
of the corrupUblft amongm the Scoiiiih nobility and -
gentry in hia pay, the aiubilioua Someraet succeeding
to the ot&to of guardian of the young king, speedily,
under the name of Protector, acquired an aulhoriW
nothing inferior to the power of an aljaolute monaron,.
'lla hid not long held Uie reins of governmeiU, when hf,
rendered it evident thai it was a psrl of his ambition to
subdue Scotland, or the betttilr pyrlion'of it, into ^,new
tfruirince of England. 4^ . ., „ ■, . ,
The then governor oT Scotland, Hamlltom E»n oT
Arrah,. (for queen Mary was but a child,) waa not
ignoMft of ihe designs p( Somerset, and eve^ iMtfnar-
hlion VMS made to rep«»l him on his crossing Uie Bordera.
It was urawing towards evening, on the flrat of Septem'
bei- 19<7, when the Protector, at the head of an arttiy
of eighteen thousand ro«n,y«rrivf.d at Berwick, and
nearly ai;die aame inaUntj while the gloaming «l lay
, lighti^nd thin u]MDn the aea, a fleet, cnn«istlng of thirty-,
four vMBfla of war, thirty tmnsporis and a galley, ware .
obaerv^aailing round Enimaijuers Head— the moat
eiatern point of Holy Island. Oh the moment tlAtlbe
'fleet waa perceived, St. Abb's lighted up its fires, thnw-
ingalong line of light along trie darkening n;a,^from
the b(aok shore to the far horison : jand scarce had tha
flrat flame of its alkrml-firQ wayfd iii the wiitdi till the
Dow-hillVpeated the fiery sigtial, and In a few mtnulea

A decree went forth from thu Knglijh (lovemor of
the Caatle, commanthnj them to bring into it from time

lieon, for which they ahould receive broad monev in

^Ivea, and n«rt aa a people with whom llioy were at

aiona ami pay them with tlie aword.
The KngiiHh, indeed, paid libomlly for whaUeever
Ihey recrivcl, and there waa policy in their no doing,
,fo5 there were not a few who preferred lucre to their
p^oniry, and thp effigy of ja prince upon a coin to

Thla interview waa d^ciaivo aa to iIm auie ul hia heart.
The thought of di*|iertuh< from die home and the friendrt
of hia youth, had already prvdi»p<'aed hia nimd to lh«
ri'ception and the dovetoiiii ml ul every lender afltetiMl.
Lovo had, iiidetd, long field Iim heart byund in a auA,

greater aonrce of conaotalion to hia heart than h* rtn-
lured to expreM. It waa to him the 6rat fomiing ni>
diaiice of hope^a bright arch of proniiae, gilding tiM *
glootn of a dark cloud with an enlivening and cheering
a|»lendour. In the niidat of hia aecrvt happineae, lb*

of hia infancy and boyh<iod, which awakeiis a pang

A few there may be who have hevcr felt it— to thein
any deacriplion would lie un.intelligilile ; but many have
felt it deeply, and perha(ia the hcHria of aome are y«( .

ed nnolher of a peculiar natuiv. The panting, fluUeiw
ing, and glowing agitation of his heart, was now no
longer an ambiguoua feeling. He waa compelled to
know that lie, in reality, loved Fanny Maxwell j rel
he left her without venturing to make mention of nta
love, without having the conjttenee to make one etbrt
to obtain one ground of hope to aooihe him in hia a^
