This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project 

to make the world's books discoverable online. 

It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject 

to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books 

are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover. 

Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the 

publisher to a library and finally to you. 

Usage guidelines 

Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the 
public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing tliis resource, we liave taken steps to 
prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying. 
We also ask that you: 

+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for 
personal, non-commercial purposes. 

+ Refrain fivm automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine 
translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the 
use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help. 

+ Maintain attributionTht GoogXt "watermark" you see on each file is essential for in forming people about this project and helping them find 
additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it. 

+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just 
because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other 
countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of 
any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner 
anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liabili^ can be quite severe. 

About Google Book Search

TO OUR READERS. 



The completion oF another Volume of The OeDtlein&n*B Magazine calls for a 
prehtorial address to vur Subscribers and Friends. We respectfully ofi^r the list of 
ContentB to their notice, as evideace of the exertions made to deserve their favon. 
We hare allowed nothing to check the << untiring purpose of our soul" in rendering 
this miscellaDj worthy the station it has assumed; and the long list ofsubMribMB >a- 
tislkctOTil J assures ns that we have not toiled in tud. 

Several new contributors, of distinguished Dame, have graced the pages of this v*- 
lume with their Incobrations. We look forward to a continuance of their correspon- 
dence with much satisfaction; and hope also to consociate them with others of no 
mean degree who have promised as a taste of their quality. We depend, also, on the 
continuance of the good offices of our old friends and fellow laborers, to iritose kind- 
ness we attribute the chiefest portion of our success. 

The insertion of " The Anniversary Register and Monthly Calendar of American 
Chronology," forms a novel feature in the'history of magazines, and we believe that it 
has given nnlimited satisfaction to our friends — an assurance that repays us for the tx- 
traordinary expenditure of time and labor necessary in the compilation.

Cbarln Stewart waa born in Ihe ciiy of Philat^el.

he daalh.of hiB falher, hia malher wai left, in lb< 
midat of the revolution, wilh four children la provide 
fbr, and nilh limited meana for iheir Bupport and edu- 
lation. Being a wonun of talents and great energy, 
ahe waa nol found naming in ihia arduous tasli. 

Al ihe age of thirleen, Charlei aought and Ibund 
amployment in the merchant aervice, in which bo 
gradually rose, through the aeverat grades, from Ihe 
aiiuaiioa of cabin boy. to Ihe command uf an India- 
man ; and here, in the Ibll IJde of aucceaaTul 
tila entarpriae, ha relinquiibed all that he had toiled 
Ar, and ofltied himself to tba aervice of hia couDlry. 
On the ninth of March, 1798, he was coi 
Lientsnanl in the Navy ol iha United Stalea, and re- 
Mivad orders to jnn ibe frigate United Stales, then 
In command of ConuDodore John Barry. He cmi- 
flnned in this ahip until July, 1800. Part of this lime 
tte frigate wis employed in the Weal Indiea, lo hwl: 
•Aer and reairain the Fraach privatceia, and lo protect 
001 cammamagaimlilwit depndaUona, in which ser 



inenlly aucceasful. In Ihe lalle'r part of 
the year the frigate was engaged in Iraniporting tha 
Dmmisatonera fur treating with France lo that country, 
lUd was thuB deprived of Ihe opportunity which, UD- 
lai other circumBtancea. might have led to other and 
ligher honora. 

On Ihe aiiteenth of July, 1800, Lieutenant Slensrl 
vas appointed to the command of Ihe U. S. schuonar 
Ciperimenl. of twelve guna, in which he sailed oo a 
under hia command 
Uiose dislinguiahod olfioen. Porter, Caldwell, and 
Arriving on the station aaaigned him, he fell

lutea: Iha Deui Amis having struck her colon, 
a asm to the Uailad Stales for condemnaiion. 
ihurt of wBler. he proceeded lo Prince Rupeit'a 
the Island of Dominica, and while there, nmier- 

ing hia veaael, hia Britannic Majoaty'i ahip , 

Captain Nash, accompanied by his Mijeaty'i ahip Siaiii, 
Captain Mataoo. arrived, and ancfaoied, aoao aAar 
ihicb, Ueutenanl Stewart received a letter from ■ 
itiisQ of lbs United States, named Amoa Seeley, atat- 
ing thai he had bean impreaed on board the Britkh 
ahip Siam, and claiming an interference fbr his r*- 
Issse. Althou^ Liantenant Sisvran's power was in- 
adequate to enbrce hia demand for tbe ■ortender of 
Sseley, the Iwo ahipa mounting twenty guns each, 
his patriolio heart could not- withaland the appeal of 
by thai chivalry and 
which were dsalined to blaie out in after 
life ao gloriously, he restdved on opening a correapond- 
rilh Ibe British Captain for the releue uf Sse- 
ley. A polila nole was addressed by IJaulenant Stew- 
the senior officer, conveying the request that 
Sreley might be transferred from his Majesty's 






ir his cc 



and; thai 

!. The 



he might he restored to his family ai 
British captain demurred, bul in answer requested a 
peiaonsl interview, wherein he remarked lo Lieute- 
ninl Stewart that the war in which hia Majesty 
waa engaged was aiduousj ihal the difficulty of 
oblaining men fbi hia numeroua lleola and ahtpa of 
war was greal. and that he should encounter 
great hazard of being censured by hia gDvemmenl 
ahould he lessen hia furce by yielding up hia men ; 
urging, moreover, that the eiampta would be Injurioui 
10 the aervice. Lieutenant Stewart replied, in aub- 
etance, that Ihe British oAicers had too long trampled 
on iha rights and liberties of hia countrymen, and it 
was high lime they had learned to respect the lighla 
and persona of an independent nation ; ihal, whatever 
power his Majesty claimed over hia own aubjccla, he 
had no right lo eiercise it over a people who had 
forced him to acknowledge their independence; that 






«i on the world.

an Englishman; to which. Lieutenant Stawin re-

onaly diaaaamiualed, calculated to impair the high 
atanding and EuefnlrwM of an cAcer in whom great 
truat and eonfideace have bean repoaed, it becnmea 
Ibe doty of the Eieculive lo aflbrd to ench officer, by 
ibe ceovention of a proper tribuTMl, in ample oppor- 
lonily of vindicating hiraaelf before Ihe narid. To 
■flbid tbte opportunity and la preaerve fiom the in^ 
diona eOecia of uameriled repnach. a repulatian dear 
ID Iha netion-~woD by the honorable aarvicaaafaeven 
■nd twenty yeaia — to Cilinguirii prejudicee and aua- 
pieiona created by miarepraietHaliima or aieconceptiona 
of public agente and privaie individual*, and finally. 
lo do all which the latva, which joatim, uid which 
boDOr eiact, Ihia court haa been coDTened. 

Chargea and apeciGcalicoa have beM preftired, 
oibractng all Iba accueatiina made i^ainM Ceplain 
Stewart; an inveitigniion haa been made inia Iheir 
■nth i it haa been Modoclad by the jodga advocate in 



the meet eiemplary manner, yet with a mjnutene* 
and fulneaa calculated to leave no doubt or chind of 
auipicion mting npon Ihe character of the accuaed. 
Thia inveiligation haa produced what waa deaired by 
Capiain Siewan, and inlended by the Eieeulive— a 
development of all Ihe important Iranaacliona attend- 
ing the late cruize of the Franklin in the Pacific, 
arbd the principlea and moiivea which gnided the 
omducl of her commander. Thaae chargea and ape- 
cilicationa the court has adjudged not to be proved | 
to be in aomo reaped ■ utterly ground leaa, and in olhen 
to have originated in a miaconceplion or mitreprceen. 
tatioo of Ibe iTWBl innocent and meritoriou* acta ; and 
Captain Slevrart haa been meal fully and moat hono- 
raUf acquitted of every, even thealjghleat,iinpropriely- 
The court however conceivee (hat the pecoliai 
chancier of Ihe necnaaiioci ia ancb that it would not 
render ihai fuU meanjre ef jnatiea which ii required 
Bl il* banda by a ainpla judgment of acquittal. II ia

To this 1 anawer, that, for thp mere pnrpoaea of

To Ihb I answer, thai a portion of the craw (other 

an Ihe marine*) are rtuw, and always have been, 
inalructed and practised io Ibe use of small arms; but 
naLmclion and practice is very limited, *a it

man had engaged lad etfirti. Thia ptacliM of 
keeping the abipa of war abacDt beyond Ihe pwiod 
lot which their crevca are engaged, ia becoming a 
fniilful Bource fur maliny. Conmandera, aniioua lo 
eiecala all ihe uhjecli of Ihe Government in aeoding

Very many petaona are under the ii 
moat of the mutiniee in Ihe Briliab navy originale in 
their practice of impremmenti but I believe there ia 
■carcely an inilance of the kind on record. Their 
muliniea originate fcom o^pnuion, and iMt impram- 
ment. I aim beliere there ia no caae where the 
BMnao, aa a body, participaled in Ihe mutiny of the 
aeamen. If we refer lo ibe very aerioua mutiny of 
Ihe Channel Amk at ihe Nore. jo 1797, 1 think we 
will find (I ipeak from irupresBliHii on the memory 
only) that uoihing was Mated by Ibe mutinBrt ai • 
grievance for redrea on the part of the Imp r taa c d 
men. except that aentenco of death lor deeerlioo, 
uoramilted by an impicMed man. H'ai urged on the 
King aa too aevere a puniihmenlj and thoes who 
volunteered lor Ihe lervice. and took the boonty. io- 
ataled on being diicbarged every aeven yean. Abool 
Ihe Mne period, a bloody muiiny took [Jace on baud 
Ihe Britiah frigate, the tlarraione, on the VIMl India 
itotKNi. Thia reniiny originated in the oppraaico 
lyraiuiy of ihe commander oo that occaaioo. All 
offleeiB (BicepI a maater'a mate) encoantared 
death. Captain Pigol, the commander of that ifaip,

landers, the good feelings of tbeaaamen towatda

And held the miukel lo her gazing eyea. 

" Coma here, my loTe ; I'll quickly fire iha piece. 
And you ahall bear Ihe wondioua noiae it makca." 

He loaded — twirled ihe rod ahuul wiih grace, 
And, aoldiar-like, hia Iboling Grroly lakea. 

Uc touched ihe trigger, but the piece waa dumb. 
Fur why I our hero had forgot lo prime! 

He Bcraiclied hi* head, and after nuny a hum, 
" Tbere'a nol enough," lo charged another time. 

Yet all waa bueh ; hi* efloria were in vain —

CHAPTER II. 



Ma. Ran was a petson whom I had met frequanl- 
]y in iDciety. and with whom I lUnd on that sort of 
caraleee imimacy fiir the nonce, which men of Ihe 
world Bod it agreeable and ooovenienl to make loge- 
Uxr in sociely. What waa his lamily. or nbo were 
Ua conneiloDS, neither I oar any body ebe knew j but 
he apent money freely, pon o Med gentleman-tike man- 
ners, and had talents for being agreeable i and any one 
with thoae qoalities may circulate freely in the beet com- 
pany of any cspiMl in the world. In deapile.bowevei, 
of the gayely of his addrem and the woidliness of hia 
ptinciplaa, he poese aa ed a tsrapenimeni nnuai^ly mor- 
bid, and il was manifeat to me that in hia inward feel- 
inga he was far from happy. I had ofien obaerved in 
CDDveiiuioR wiih him. an occasional violent ecceo- 
Bicily of nunneti which indioaled some atrong pas. 
aion in hia bceaal that al momania he iiMind il impos- 
sible lo conuol { and in Ihe midst of mirth atid jesting. 



T eomelimes canght his eye Eied npoo me wilb a sa- 
vage and aaipicioui glance, which in ill luni aweka 
BUs|Ncian. He had been ecquainied niifa my couiili> 
il seemed, betiiie she came to London ; and I undsp- 
(lood Ihal ■ day or two after my flrsl meeting her. 
ha had oflerod higiself to her, and been resoluislj 
rejected. Tbia circumstance made of conise no difle> 
ranee in our eitema] behavior lo each other, bitl 1 
saw that il rankled deeply in his bean ; for neither at- 
fecled to conceal from himself Ihal I was ilia cause of 
hia refusal 

A Week or two after the occuneocss deaeribed ia 
Ihe last chapter, I went down wiih a Urge parly to a 
celcbralioa at Oifbrd. la letiuning. 1 gave up my 
eeai in tlie chaise lo an old genilenun who waa 
obliged 10 reach lownaarly on some bnsineas. and I 
tame on, on horaeback. This waa a period at whidt 
the English louds were inlssled with bighwaymeo t» 
an alarming degree. GavemmMU had enough te d» 
in represeiDg nanicipal dislurbancee, and defending 
the country from foreign dasgen j bhI accordin^y, 
ibotpads, in every part of the kingdom, were left lo 
practice their profession with coasiderable securi^. 
When i saw Ilounilew Healh eitending before, and 
heard no sound of a vehicle on either aide of at*, 
I felt by no means comforiable, fat I waa entirely un- 
armed ; still, the reaaurcsi of ■ cool bean and a fer- 
tile bead had ofleD delivered me Irom greater dangera 
(ban I was now exposed lo, and '* summoning up mj 
blood," I spurred my mind and my horse together, and 
caolaced confidently along. 

I bed not reached Ibe middleof Ike plain, when a Is- 
rocioBs-luoking iallowstepped deliberately from bekind 
the bushes, aikd seinng lbs bridle of my boras, raiaed 
above my head a heavy club shod with lead, and da- 
manded my puree. 

■" Ha ! bal ha!" cried I, in a coarse voice, ■■ that 
il a clever joke; you ware going lo rob an old biMhsr 
of Ihe cralL Why, you scoundrel," said I. ibrBwing 
myself 00" my horse, "I am Ihe bmoua Dick Wilkina 
you'te often heard oC if you've been much upon tha 
York road. But come, here's acarriags doss by," — al 
that instant I beard the sound of wheels — " filled wiih 
gentry whose irialola I drew al the lasl Uvein. I'll 
show you how we do these thingsal the Doith," and I 
led my bone lo the side of ibe toad. 

The nui succeeded completely. " Well," said Ihe 
man, gruffly, " I'm sure I did'nl know yon were Dick 
Wilkins. Bui come, let us get behind the busbea." 

" Pooh !" said I, " I've given up bushing long ago ; 
we'll walk right iloog Ihe road ; the carriage can't 
turn belore we're ' upon it Hark ye ! 1 seiie Iha 
hoisca and sttSen the driver: you open the cosch." 

I Stepped the hors^, and saw in a moment by tha 
liveries ihai it waa ihe cariiage of Lord D. Tha 
other had hia hand upon the door, when I atele up and 
pinioned him with the grasp of a vice. ■■ Don'l fire," 
cried I, aa I saw a long pistol making tli appearance 
dirough the window. " I am Mr. Pulieney. Let 
some one get oul and asual in binding this fellow." 

The raacal was safely lied, and aa soon *a the iirat- 
men were recalled from Ihatt flight, he waa moontsd

In a fow minulM, I KC«i*«d Ihe following aiMwe 



I read Ihia enigmatical letter again and again wilk-

itdy allude to. The laat aantencr. eapacially, baffled 
my imaginalioa to eiplain. I addieaaed inothar DOW

ih 1 wai convinced that he labored, and eanieallr. 
deairing a more aiplicit undenlanding balore a coona

Aa I looked (award* Ihe caalle, I pieaently aaw Ihe

On the following day, the servant whom I had left 
, London, came down. He had detected the mya- 
tery of the iniquity by which auch ruin had becQ 
wrought. Some one wboae preeence ho bad con- 
atontly itaced, but whose name and penoo he could 
■tot identify, had determined lo deairoy my characler 
in ihe oalimaiiun of my coutin and my uncle, and had 
arranged a wide and inlricate scheme for the purpose. 
I liatened to the account of my aervant with perfect 
amiiemenl ; il aeemei] ihal nothing bitl a demon'a 
depravily could have auggesled such enormous vil- 
lany, and nothing but an arcb-demoa'a ingenuity have

cumslaniial evidence wbich reached my uncle, 1 could 
not but allow ibal he waa reasonably juiliSed in con- 
cluding my infamy. Yet a lingle qoestioa lo me 
would have diaupaied all hii conviclions. 

" But one of Ibe aceoMplices," said the servant, 
" Ihe female altendsnl uf Miss Sidney, may certainly 
he convicted, and made to feel whatever your ven- 
geance can piompl." 

"No, no!" aaid I, "let ibam goj let them live if

that the aihcieat retiaace may be placed upoo iheii

The eilreme length of Teiaa i* from one Ihosnnd 
lo twelve hundred milea. and it) average breadth three 
hundred and fifty miles; it ii, thereibie, a country tboiit 
a third or perbep* a half latter than the iaUnd of 
Great Britain. Iia eitent of aea coul along Ihe 
north and north-neat abora of the Gulf, ia aboul three

ill chaiaclai ia Ibe nombai of riven, greai and amall. 
which flon through it into the Gulf, and aflc>rd the 
neaoa af eileniive inland traffic by waler. The 
principal rivera are the Braioa, Colorado, Trinidad, 
Goadalape, Sabine, San Antonio, Rio de laa Nueces, 
and Nachea. The name of Ihe Braioa (in the Spaniah 
language. El Brasx de Dioi — the arm of God) ia Ggu- 
ntively aignilicaot of ila character i h being placid and 
beneficent in repose — mighty and terrible in wrath. 
It iftirda Iha meaiM of ateamboal navigation for some 
hnndreda of milee into lbs upper part of Ihe province. 
As in the case of meet of the other rivers, the BtazoB 
empties inelf into a large salt lake, or inlet of Ihe sea, 
■rooiMl which, to a vaal silent, Ihe land ia charged 
with milieiat aalt, which may be gathered in abond- 
(Dce during Ihe dry aeaaena. The river Trinidad, 
lying eaalfrom the Brazos, falls into a large sal^water 
lake or bay, called Galveaton Bay, by which a good 
deal of commerce baa hiLhsrto been cariied on nilh 
Ihe upper coonliy. The Nnocea river boundi Teiaa 
on Ihe nest, aepamling it from Ibe province of Coa- 
hoila. In Tens, tba nnmber of what are odled se-

country, and examining ils soil, would at once pro- 
nounce the level region lo be alluvial ; a mere cidlec-

Tbe appearance of the prairie lands is thua deacribed

Scarcely a blade of grass seemed lo rise above aii

The vgrioiia natural productions of Teia* of cOOIs* 
depend on the nature of iba climate and soil. T%» 
climate of Teiai is complalsly tropical in choraelat. 
hot greatly mitigated by the absence of swatnps and

dryiwss and openixaa of the land* give parity lo lbs

cease, which Ibey do every afiemoon, Ihe air becoOMs

irtal, whoae propenaitiei lead him from lire ordinary 

irauil* of man. and relaio in hii manhood Ibe inno- 

nee and gimplicily of the bat>e. 

When Benian wna atouaed by the General, he 

•larted up wildly, but inatantly became oonacioua of 

hia condition. 

Pleaae lake thia chair, lady — gentlemen. 1 an

Poor man! he could nol hear thunder whilat en-

the hnmilialion of gnawing poverty, a portion of ihe 
pride of conicioua auperiorilyi and that he would bin 
conceal hii horribly giraitened condition. 

" When will you be ready to make a commence-

aihcd Juliet, whoae emotion diaabled her from apeak*

" I cannot be preciaelf certain of Ibe pUee. but will

" We came," conljnned Juliet. " with the eipccla- 
lion of a commencement today, and will therefore 
avail ouraelvei of Iho opporiuniiy to leave oar money, 
thereby claiming ihe privilege of the tint liuing." 

"Thank yon-— but— no— there ia no necsaiity ftr

It waa well Ihe artiit eacaped the thunderbolt by

Charles Herbert; and, with this brief expcartion of his

With such a cast of mind, tbe barrien of restraint are 
Kwn broken down, and ihougb Ellen ahrunk with an

CHAPTER IV. 

Tbk winter monlha had paaed away. Spring had 
. eoBe with her train of flowers and choir of singing 
biida, and nalora waa decked in her beautiful gar- 

li waa eTCDing ; and tbe streets of the city ware 
flironged with ■ (ay crowd, ei^ing the delicioiis al- 
■MpbaMandlheriehi^eDdorof idght. Every mov- 



ing thing seemed glad, and in keeping wilh'the 6tA- 
neaa and beauty of Ihe season. Bui, let us nop apait 
from Ihe crowd, and enter Ibia genteel looking bouse. 
The rooms, if noi riohly. are handaooiely fumidMd. 
Every thing givea evidence of being arranged by Ihe 
hand of taale. lis orciipanla conaiat of two lemales. 
One. a middle-aged lady, bearing ihe marka of re««iil 

nf aboul nineteen, whiise simple white dreaaaeta off a 
furm of eiqaisile projBriiona, ia seated ai a neat norfc- 
table, reading aluud in lunes exceedingly rich and 
clear. The piciure is one of piue, unadulieiated con- 
fort; aud, were it not Air the linet on the brow of ibe 
eldcr^Jbose leger-lines of rare and suffi^ring— one 
would Buppose that sorrow had never shaded an Ikir 
and bright aacene. 

" It is a sad amry. mother," said the young lady, as 
aha liniAsd and laid aside tbe book, " and it beata a 
painful similitude to our own dark bialory." 

" Without ila happy lermiaaiion, EUen," replied lbs 
molher- " Perhaps, if there had been a yaoiiyAyjifaii 
nigh, the atory would not have dosed so darkly," and 
Mrs. Lemand fiied her eyes with an arch meaning on 
her danghter. A smile and a sigh struggled on the 
tips of Ellen. 

" Our obligstions lo Mr. Herbert ate many aad 
great," said she, while a bint blush ftde over bvr 
fealnrea. " Had it not been fct hia, we ■igbt still 
have been the oocupania of a hovel, and depeiidsjit oa 
Ibe precarious means by whiuh we so lately waca 
tupporled." 

Yon have oden heard, my danghter, Ibal Ood 
never resorts to ordinary means lo acoomplah Hia 
ends, and that Be often causes good to apring ban, 
wbat we, in oar finite judgment, call aa eviL Ib- 
alance my late sickness. To that we ais indebted fiv 
acquaintance of Cbarlee Herbert — by hiM w« 
learned the ciislence of that letter, the recoipl of 
which has worked the change in our situatioa." 

'■ Trae." said Ellen, " hoi we might have reoaivad 
ihe letter without Ihe doctor's aid." 

" We might, my dear, but" — continned bar aaottiar, 
who never neglected an opportonily to enforce a vaa- 
fnl lesson— " 1 had rather aacribs the ehanfea ihat 
have taken place lo a wise provideoca ihsn to a blind 
chance." And it was in thia devout reliance Aal 
Mri. Lemand found strength to beat patiently ibe ilia 
e. She had been achooled in adversity, a* we 
seen; but a aubmiMivs, docile spirit had shieldad 
1 ihe hour of trial- " Thy viO be dimt," wo* 
the magic words lliat buoyed bet life-bark up, when 
tossed on a tempealuooi sea. It formed the burden of 
orile song of hers, written by a itiend of bat 
hosband and piesenled to her. 

When sailing o'er life's changeful aaa, 

Should atorms my bark assail. 
Oh, may I put my iruat in Thee, 

Whose power controls the gale ; 
And thoiigh opposed may be the wind. 

My coutsa but just begun. 
Let this bnt harbor in my mind —

Nothing haa-beea more the otjecl of ridicule dktll

Hence ridicule, when applied to andicate vice and 
implant virtue, moat ever fail in producing a perma- 
nent moral rflect, lince it hag no foundalion in aouiid

THE WORKS OF DIVINITY. 



An angel came from Ibe realm* of light, 
Drawed in hia plumsge beaming brighl — 
He came to me in the dead of nigbl 
And bid me, mortal, through the aky. 
Upon hia pinions, high to fly, 
And .view the walks afDiiriiuty. 

Aloft we sped through eudlen space, 
Hyriadi of worlds like onn lo trace. 
And CDDDlleB anna wilh radianca bright — 
The centres of their spheres of light — 
And secret atars he showed lo me. 
All framed by the handafDitinity. 

On, on we went, to brigbler spheres. 
Beyond the sinful vale of tears. 
To the home where spirits, pore and bleat. 
Take, avith God, their heavenly teal — 
And now behold, said the sprite to me, 
Han's last estate wilh Divinity. 



To MMh we came, and the daw-wadiad mnnt 
In it! Jreshneaa, laid the day was bom ; 
The smiling green, and the loaded lieea, 
Waving their truits to the gaotle breeie —

wrought for them by Iheir Deity. Hia court waa filled 
with the wiee among cDutnellora, and Ihe brave among

lelamed— (hia waa herore abe had met Abaalom, aa 
nltled in chsplsr II — indeed aba waa nol aware that 
iba prince bad asen or noticed her. 

Reader, indulge me Ibr ■ momen^ We read biito- 
lia of the old worhl — and when, in lbs livea of the 
tanaau, we find mealioa of iheir loiea ; len to oae 
IN plover Itiam with the nme indifference thai 
n leal in perusing aecuunit of the mnat common- place 
ocenrrencea. We never aak if, in Iheir marriage*, 
there were reelingavoncerned—heaila as well ■■ hnndi 
■arried. Indeed, ws are apt to look upon the ancieni> 
uaMrueal, aQfeeling >el of being*, with no capabi

nn Hillisg to place among miidetn inveniioni or di*-

" Vca, each the love-ianghl name, the first 
Thai ruined man to wooun gave, 
£i'n in bia outoaat boor, whan curat 
By ber fund witchery with that wont 
And euliaal boon of love— the guv*."

We believe, moreover, each was his tove lot her, 
ibal witbool her be could not have been bapfiy 
in Eden ; end that niih ber he could somelinaa 
forget hii baniihmeel, hia leal Paradise, and be happy. 
There wa*, in our opinion, juit a* much real love in 
the old world, and a* much ditappviDlsd love, with 
lis Ida fiequeDt reauli* — 

"A btoksn hsait, and an early grave," — 



describe that love. 

Now ihe uhjrct oflhia confhaion ofEiiih ii to pn»- 
pare ihy tniiid, genile reader, for believing Ihal Te- 
tiuinab luveil uiibnllihilio-mucbi-elebraivd woman'* 
luve. Nor wa. it from Cm lighi only. The above- 
meniionni iiiieiview wiih her faiher — in witich lie 
nSeciionaiely warned her against indulging a paaalon 
Ibr one so much above, ar>d solillle known lo ber. and 
eapecially, Ibr one who did not love ber — cloaed hy 
telling ber that be had j>romiied her, and Ihal Ihe 
•acriGce on her pari miul be made. All she could 
obtain waa his conaenl to have her marriage deferred 
suae liiile time. 

It waa on Ihe evening afler the above ihal ahe met 
AWalom, (vide chap. II.,) and beard from his own lipa 
thai he loved her. Though Ihia itself did nol give 
her more pleaaure, than hia assurance that Juab should 
not potsest her. These ihingi, however, she did not 
menlion lo her father. Nor did she tell him, [aha 

poor memotie*,) ihst for weeki, sho met the prince 
elmosl every evening by moonlight in the myrlle- 
giove. 

Aa Ihe Paaover bad long alnce ended, and the 
slranger ilebrevv* were acattered. Rapbar would have 
relurnrd lo ihe ciiy, but hii daughler enlreaied him 
earnestly lo remain. For what reaaon, Ihe reader must 
ludge. bui ihe reasnn she gave the ambaieador wa^ 
that the Ihought her heatih would be belter In lbs 
couniiy ihan in ihe cily. 

A few weeka passed, however, end het father ei- 
pieaaed his diabelief in Ihe fancied efficacy of the 
cuiintry air ; nay, be ihoughl the very contrary eSeol 
had been produced. For, he aaid, since coming there, 
•he had loit color aii^ cheerfulness, and indeed waa 
enlirely changed from ihe happy girl he had brought

iog ncrificee ; and fram that place he vrould rendu. 
Toui to Hebron, where Abaalum waato be immediale-

wilh a preseaiimenl in each, ihoogh neither dared 
apeak it. thai this meeting was their last. 

The DCil day. Abaalum weot to llehron, ai had 
been preconcerted, where, towards evening, he not

though the people feared and disliked Ahlihophel, yet 
Ihey were gtad thai be was with Ihemi lor they knew 
Ibal he waa wise, and Ihey trusted in his counsel. 

An army was eoon raised, the command of which 
waa given lo Amass ; fur the cwunseilur had nnl erred 
in anppoaing thai this bnv* commander would joiii 
them as a leader. The army marched immediately 
lo Jenualem; and Absalnm stt in the palace-hall

however, soon gave him lo lUHleialand bow well lu

ihai Ihe ci king waa now with few followers am-

he could not but think advice might be offered, which 
would, at Ibat lime, be mora suitable, as well as wie 
practicable. He proceeded to enlarge upoo tbe

iitipuHiilds to dialodge Ihera with Iha preeenl Budii-

verhially productive of niore harm than good. He 
waa therefore of opinion that il were belter lo wait a

fectly idle, and if it* licentiouanaaa be ollen jouly

"The primary caoae of ibe deterioration of theatrical

now aitd Ihen, to eagage an actor of eitnoidiiiary 



merit~-bnl to force a luceeaion of new peiaona apoD 
the boarda merely because ttaey are iMWto the pablie, 
ia bad policy in every lenaa. We do believe, in a 
city like ihia. where there ia no rival eatabliifament, 
that a atock company, eicellenl in all rtapeela, (and 
auch may be engaged) with appropriate acanery, 
drenea end properliea. would yield aa ftir a pfofil to

tbeapidn abalracla from the commnnily a very large 
poriion of Ibe money, which if kepi in eirculaiion. 
would again return to Ihe ireaaury of the theatre- la 
another point of view the policy ia a miataken one. 
A stock company it forced lo do almost every thing in 
a hurry- Every new comer haa hi* new pieces. Time 
sufficient for study snd rehearsal ia not allowed, and 
oDen the best membatiofil are imperfect in their parte.

a variety of American acton who go about "atarring," 
who could not gain a moderate ailary aa (lock a»

people cannot be blamed — they know that Engliih 
acloia of an eqoal grade ore imported as ilara, and by 
ihe aid of lelteta and pufla prepared in Europe, are 
forced down the Ihroati of lbs gullible Americana for 
one or two years, during which time Iheac well-pu8ed

In charily, a geDtle-hearlad widow.

A linple broken-hearted paaianl girl t 
Day after day ibe bnely woman posd

Sbe died — and than ahe told no bow aome chance 
Had loada bee miitrea of my Bother'a aeorel, 
Aod how for j'eara ihe had baaoughl in vain

Luie. By Fomma'a malioe, 

My heart had borrowed MMnawbal of my aire, 
And panted at the ^ow of virgin beamy. 
We difler'd only in the nil we hunted ; 
For mine waa far above me, and ihe maid 
A filling male for Rayland'a laa^ hope— 
Tware long to tell ibea bow I woo'd, bow won htri 
Or how her bouae njected her with tcom, 
Ai a &ir Uoaaom blighted paM lecal: — 
Hy heart waa ligbi ; il reeled on anoceaa, 
And we lived joyonaly — I ibink I Mid 
Tba widow died. Her cottage and her mile 
Savolved on tboae wbo kng had hok'd for them. 



And I and my poor Mary had Ihe beaveoa, 
And ihem alone, lu abeller oa. My biilh, 
Bui newly known to me, diracled when 
I ahoold demand a buma, and the load arna

Well, then, 1 led her irembling to Ibe hall: 
And then — O mercy I what a look ma lier'a!

Some time elajaed belbrs hia reaoWe waa made 10

and with a determined afnril. Brawn ao arranged hii 

Uanl, and m eiciie no auapicion in the braaata of thi 
parenla or hia frienda. A few iaf placed bim al ih< 
aiitB ef Roaa. Here beholding, In all ihe freahneaa ol

hia fta< deceit upon Hoaa, by telling her he had come, 
with the GoDaent of her potenia, to return with her 
to them aa man and wife. 

Roaa tared hitn, bul ihe aurprise waa loo great for 
Iter heart ao teadily lo r«allae. She had lefl her pa-

With fllial obedience, and knew the cauae of her eiile

ao happy a change, aha waa unable, and while she 
.tare token of ihe joy which auch intelligence had 
given her, ahe yet claimed ihe privilege of ao much 
eantion, and the relief of so much agauraaee aa ahe 
ixmld obtain by a fbnmal commimication with her pa- 
renla. That ahe ahould addreaa iham by letter imme- 
dialely, and laamfrom the hand of harfalhnrlhe oun- 
finnalioQ of what had been repreaenled to bei, waa 
readily agreed to. She accoidingly addreated her pa-

Thia letter wai written, and, ahe believed, apeadily 



deapalched u> ihem. Bntlhe vigilance of Bnwn bad 
lolercepled thia comnnnieatioa. After the lapie of 
the neceeaary lime, an answer waa received, snd all 
the repreaenUIiona of her kver were allealed by i» 
hand of her father, which waa aa familiar la hera ber 
own. The requiaile preparatioiis were speedily mads. 
and, amid the congralulatiena of aarroBiMling fiitmia, 
Ihe bappy pair were united in Ihe holy tie. Tbs Mil

Bona, which Ihe aeaaon had thionged with ihe gs; tnl 
ligbl hearted ; and Rcea, loeing sight of ihs norU 
arourHl her, aeemed to live only in the bopa uid 
happiness of her union. 

Id Ibe mean time. Brawn's rcaourcet had MM 

giving at hone the inlelligonie of hii locuion. A 
Triend of ihe father of hia wife lived in ihe ncigllbll^ 

houJ of Springs, where he waa Ihea iliyui;. 

To him he made himself known, introduced bii kIIs, 
ifni eduhsliag a Idter of credit, given in case of ann-

neoeseary, to avoid the danger of diamrery, laiemore 
from thia quarter to eome place of grealar relireimol. 

Brown, wilh his wife, neil proceeded to B . 

In (he interim, however, the inleHigeaee of tbs mi(- 
riage had reached the parents of Roaa, and her lalhsi, 
diaUBcied almost la madnea, had started in punailaC 
the fugitive pair. From the place of hia dsughui'i

"The PICKWICK PAPERS" have been pabliabed hy Carey, Lea. and Blanchard, in one volomo, vilra 
oelan. It ia a hondiome and dainble book, and a neceaaary addition to Ihe Ubnry of every lover ef genuine 
linn Kit and artiatlike ^Hclnrae of eveiy-day life. Tho Illajtrations by Samuel Wellei and ihe inimitable Al&ad 
Crawqaill, tvboee pen and pencil are equally unique, are added to die present publication. There is acarcely 
my iMc^ty for pielaiial eiplanaiion lo Mr. Dicken'a graphic delineaiioas of character and avMM but Ihe 
admiiMi of Box will r«3ei*e mnch delight ftom a coatemidaliao of CrowquiU's "speaking bits," aa we hsaid 
an Biiiat properly term his doqosnl designa. The plalea devoted to tba " Priaonaia fcr Debt," oonslitats 
volumas of physiognomical detail; Lavaier could not beilar eiemplify Ihe varisliea of grief, of Bud despair, 
of orelaas miaeiy— sod the habitual doggadnea* of look which chaiacleriaea Ihe auAerel* from hope dalitlMdi 
while the brutal apathy of the swindUr, Ihe nuudlin jollity of the sot, and iha low cunning of Ihe wretch 
who prey* upon Ihe neonaities of his ftllow ptiaoners, form an opporilo bol equally painful sutgect of cm- 
tMBplalion. ■' Pickwick drunk," by Cronquill, is likely to make the lungs of the tookeron crow Uke chuili- 
cleer. The tiUe page is well deigned i the leading characters described in the Pickwick Papers are detailed 
in fntl with a vnaiemtlaaa that requires no eiplanation.

that he would not let him depart without receiving 
I pnmiie la oome frequently attd amuae Blanca 
ilh Ihe wonderful atoriee of the Eaal. Tbe Moor,

of Ihe dukenf Sanla-Fii and,afler ibe fol lowing day. 
waa regular in hie vieila lo the palace which coa- 
ttined her whom beloved more than ihe light of day. 
Blanca found her heart very aoon engaged in a 
deep pasion, from Iha very iiopoaribiliiy abe had 
fancied that ever ahe ihould feel thet paaaion. That 
ihe ibould lote an infidel, a Moor, an unknown 
atrangeri appeared lo her eo eitraoidinary, lhal aha 
precaution againal Ibe malady which began 
uale itaelf into her veina. But no eoooar did 
Dine scnaible of ila inroada, than abe accepted 
lady like a inie Spaniard. The danger* and 
iroublea which ahe fbreaaw, neither made ber draw 
the brink of the pracipice, nor delib*- 
rste long wilh her heart. She aaid to heraelf : " Let 
Aben-Hsmet become a Cbliatien: let him love me; 
and 1 will fallow him to ihe eitramity of Ihe earth." 
Oo bia part, iheAbeneerage alia felt the fall poWM 
of an irreaiatible paaaion: be no longer lived bat fiw 
Blanca; beno longer occupied bimeelf with tbe plaAt 
wbich had brought bim lo (irenada. It v** May bt 
him to obtain the intormaijon of which be came ei- 
preaaly in punuit: but evety other intereat, except 
that of bia love, had voniahed from bia eyea. Ha 
even dreaded the knofrledge wbich might produce ■ 
changeinbiintodeafeiiatence- He aaked for oolhing; 
he wiahad not to knowanylbing He aaid tobimaelf: 
"Should Blanca become a Mibomeian; abould aba 
love lae, I will eerve her to my but breath." 

Thua delerminled in their reaoluliDla, Aben-HaoMl 
and Blanca only waited for a bvorable moment to 
diacover iheii mutual aenlimMllB lo each other. It 
wee Ihen the apring of Ihe year. " You have not yet

Reeve nai a clever mimic, and posteased a vein of 
brond, rich humor, which needed nol tbe license he 
loo ofien gnve it, lo eicile uncoalrollablo laughter. 
These Iwo qnaliliea were sufficient, wilh ordinary 
capacity snd atlenliun, lo raise bin 10 a dislinclioii at 
B comedian ; and had be studied Ihe art of patsona- 
tion, instead of relying, at he wai apl 10 do, avan in 
hit beal day*, on bla power of creating menimant 
alone, he would have been one of the liaeal and laaat 
originai actors in hie tine. But fimdneta /or tansoal 
indulgence— which bis aponlaneant fun aoaUad bim 
lo give way lo with imponi'y, Ibr a long time before 
Ibe decline of his talent waa felt by Ihe andience — at 
tsDglb induced habits of indolence and drankennta 
that completely deprived him of ibe ability, if be bad 
Ihe will, to sludy. Latterly Ihe forbearance of ihe 
public waa loo fraqoenlly taxed by lha disgraceful 
le in which he appeared on the ttige ; and at lait, 
en hb animal mirth became eilinci, and the wreck 
ihe once humorous mimic was only visible — a 
BclBL-le as painful to Iboce who beheld it, aa it waa 
degmding to tbe man. Tie aclor lived awhile on his 
for comicality ; end people laughed at Ibe 
groletque fgore before tbem, and lha recoUeclion of 
his past sallict; bul at latl even this source failed, 
and disesie >o completely pniMrated his nature that 
he could nut appear ; and John Reeve waa beard no 
more of. Ilia conslilutiun was broken up in wbal 
should have been hi* prime ; and hi* age, ibiity-nina, 
beats a melancholy testimony to Ihe proOigate watte 
of life through bit habila of intemperance.

THE SIEGE OF BADAJOZ. 

Twili^l came, Ihe *uq tet gtoriotialy. and many a bondred eyea looked their last upon him that eveniizj. 
Soon afiar eight ilie rcginenta wero unileraima. and Ihe rollof «B(h called over in an under voice. A death 
like aileoce prevailed — the divieion (ihe lighi) formed behind ihe quarry in fionl of Santa Maria, and afler ■ 
pause of hair an hour. Ihs fotlarn hope peiied quietly along, tappnned by a atorming party, coniiatinguf ihrae 
bundred voluoteeia. 1 »■■ aiiachcd to Ihe foimcr. W« moved silently — not a man coughed or nhiapered — 
and in Ihrte minalei aflerwarda the diviiion faDoned. * 

At that moment the deep hell of iho caihedral of St John itmck Icn— a rocket maa from the town, and 
soma doien hlyp-lights and lire balla were flung from iha paraperi, and ibrew a lurid glare on the ground in 
froatof rbs ran) parts. Gradually the light liied sway— a deeper gloom lUFBeeded— "Forward !" waaonly 
nbiipered — the moat perfect tjltnce reigned arnund. atkd eicepi the ■jfioned fool fill of the atorming parlies 
■> they alrack the turf with military preciiion, not a moveiDenl wai audible. A terrible luapeoae— a horri- 
U« atilhieaa — daiknaa— a compreiaian of the hreothing — the dull and ill-deGnad outline of the town — the 
kDOK ledge Ihal limilsr and limultaneoua muvemeola were making oa other pointi — the ceilainty that two or 
tbreo minutes would probably involve Il:o futlorn hope in ruin, or'mske it tho beacon-light lo victory— all 
these lasds the hesri ibrob quicker, snd long fur the buraling of the iiorm, when wild aucceaa should crowD 
our daring, or hope and life should end togeilier. 

On we went ; one (olilary niuikot whi diteharged beaida the breach, but none aoiwcred it The light d»- 
Tiskm moved fbrwaid npidly. closing up in culumna al qunrler dialance. We reached thedilch — the laddai* 
were lowered— on ruihed Ihe furlurn hope — on went the storming parly. The diviiion waa now on the 
brink of IhB sheer deteeot, when s gun boomed from the parapet The esnh trembled — a mine waa fired — 
an eiptoaion— an inferoal hlaiing from lighied fiiteei aucceeded — and, like the raising of a iftrlain on the 
atags in the belliih glare, ihe. Frcnrh lining the ismparta in crowda, iha Engliih itorming parties deacendiog 
ibe ditch, wore placed aa diaiincily viaible lo each other aa if the hour waa noaniida. 

A iramendoua lire from the guns of iho pUce. which had been laid upon the approarhea to the breach, fat- 
towed Ihe oploiiun ; bui undautiiedly the storming parly cheered, and bnvely ths French anawered il. A 
murderous Bceijfl ensued, fur the breach was utterly irapeauble. Nulwiihaianding the withering fire of taua- 
kelry from the parapela— light artillery brought immediately to bear upon the breach — and the grape from 
every gnn upon the works ihst cnuld play upon Ihe aisailaiils or lupporliiig .columns, ibe Briiiah mounted 
HuUdreda were thrown hack — and hundred! promptly succeeded them. Almost unhsrmed Ihemwivet, iha

thousand victima in ihe ditch, they called in deriaion to Ihe broken columns, and invited them lo come ou.

round quickly, bul could not diicem any body in pai-

Im eld«n oimelaa 'twas said 

7^1 wheo the glaai of Ufa was ran. 
WImd motlalitT was dead — 

Thai the spirit which was man, 
'Merging from the body Ibrlb, 
Had a power not of earthy 
By the Almighty given i 
To fadtton, form, and mould at will. 
And live the phaDiDm it would fill. 

Ere it Stir to haavsn: 
And in semblance, such, amy'd. 
As a fairy, ghetl, or shsde, 
Or a ihadow, a* in thonght 

Only flndeth habitude i 
A dream, a whim, a aomething — naughr, 
When mnt defined, lesit undenlood. 
And such a thinf, 'iwai nid, had power. 
In &e silent, witching hour, 
In lunillea and gboally Bttm, 
Al Ihe eve, or at the nam. 
To rise a pun Ihe wingi of light 
Bwiftw than the arrow's flighi — 
To pcnbal in the noonday nin. 
Ere btowD evening had begun ,- 
Or if npon the ocean cast 
Of the migbty midnight blast, 
It would, the piercing galM among. 
Mingle a congenial aoog ; 
Or, upon each lovely trealurd. 
Which in life wbi fraught with plewore, 
Pause — and, with a magic finger. 

Spread around a mjado spell ^— 
llwn on earth 'twas joy lo linger. 

Then on earth 'tvrai joy to dweU. 
If 'inns a leeer ghosi, 'Iwta nid, 
Tbt the silani, lonely shade. 
Stealing the loved spot axxind. 

In sympathy would bover where 

SoMe kindred feeling once was lound. 

And wotiM gladly lioget there ■ 



But if 'twere a murderer's ghoit. 
When the feme and lichens wave, 

Twonld glimmer like a meteoi lawrt 
Upon iia hapleaa victim's grave ! 

Tet, lady, when ny mortal clay 
Breathes no more Ihe life ot dayi 
If my •piriltnulil regain 
The glimpse of Ihii fair world again, 
I would not come a gbcal of night. 
Shrinking fiom lha moan's pale light; 
And the grsve-rard'i gloomy air, 
Would not End me lingering there — 
Whara reaouTiding o'er lha hill, 
llie screamy hawk criaa loud and riirill. 
I would not come in meleot light 
To horrify ihe potent night; 
I noold not haunt the lonely rill. 
Where Ihe air is ilumbaring atill. 
Where Ihe glow-worm's mimic fire 
Humbly gilds Ibe dewy gran — 
Where the fire-By, mounting highM. 

Sliima along ibe dark morasi — 
But, oh '. could 1 a with relaio. 

A mortal wish, a Ibougbl of earth, 
Hon quickly would I flee again. 

And reign the guardian of thy worth! 
Joyfully 1 obi joyfully. 
And quickly wonld I apeed to thee : 
With thy Ibolsiepa I would naun 
With thee— with Ihee, would be my ham) 
Wiih Ihee at day, with ihee at night. 
With Ihee in daiknea as in light — 
For ever nith a hallowed spell,

behind me, repealing the name of Ihe aclor Frtiille, 
•coompBBied with tbe moat oSanaive epiiheia. I 
tnmed my heed to aee what funiliu voice it waa that 
was Ihni attacking the theatrical magnate in the 
■liong bold of hii power, when I recogniied i little

lively and capiiciom geetnin.and above all, en enor-

"Billud,"! eiclahned, "ii it dMni, my Mend t I

" Ms fai." replied he, " my dear J — , I heva good

tbe darling of hii life; all hii ideu were ceoterad

had written ibia comedy in thyme too ; be declaimed 
hie veieee — he tdmired them and made them hia idelk. 
At college, Billard and hn Bubomear were ibe eon- 
■Mot tbaeae* of ridicule, but nothing could imdecvi** 
Ihe young anthor aa to the merita of hii maniacript ; 
yet u a twilh at^ding Ihe perpehial workhig Uwt thia

introducing il on Ihe Ihealre." 

Aa Billard apoke, I noled hia appearaDM, and cem-

TauE turbulent events by no means sailed my 
peaceabte and ntlring disposiiion; and long before die 
death of poor Catherine Fr^mn pat a slop to L'Ann4e 
Litljraire, I resigned my censarial office in that pe- 
riodical. Catherine Fr^ron was the niece of Ibe great 
Comeitle. Voltaire had generously adopted her, and 
■upported (bis work to gain for her a maintaDBnce. 
After abdicating Ihe editorial Meptre, I awore never 
to toach oflensive weapons, either in the shape of 
sword or crilicnl pel- I paned Ihe gay seaaon of 
my youth in colliling the work of claaaical writera, 
authenticating docamenis, rectifying dates, washing 
and claaniing vellum, meainring margins with coai- 
pawia, making catalogues, •ailing and baying al pob- 
lio sales, and other such pleasing oecupaiioni of ■ 
book-loving hermit. I lived at that time in Ihe envi- 
rons of die Luiembourg. ht'the Qnnrtier St. Jacqne*.

I lent an invitation for Pontenil to take

wliich ia left imfiDiabed in that apiighlly collection. Thii >■ the baroa'a veraion of ihe Mory : 

" Teateidiy, at the moment nbeo ibe curtain drew up at the French Theatre, a madaan, Billard by name,

oomplaini sgiinat the acton, whom he tiealed aa jugglers ; that they noald nol perlbno a piece of hii, enti- 
tled the ' Sabomenr,' which ha had preaenlei] to theni. The player Pi^ville waa bandied with particalar 
aeyority by the lunuigasr Billard, who iulbnued Ihe pit tliat be wai groodion to oDe of the kiog'i aacrebiriea, 
and rich enough to l«v« raimbuned the playsn fbi tfaeii aipanaei if ihe pieca did nol auecead ; be eoocliided 
by calling m the indieDai for juilice. Tbia occuioned a great luraull among Ibe audience, and PrJville 
ma required to appear, in a very peremptory mannei. He did nol, however, make hia appearance, and at 
length Ibe peribimen proceeded, Ihough not wiihbul lome difficulty, id begiiming the ' Earl of Bnel-' Tba 
tumuli recoiDtnenced between Ibe play and ihe afterpiece, and, accoiding lo cuaiom, ended in nothing. Fii- 
villa waa to play the character of «□ Anglu-taanlac, which begin* with llwae worda: ' Pardon ne If 1 have 
kept the good company axpecliDg me.' A general laugb enaucd, and ibare wa an end of Ihe mailer. 

" Meantime ihe haranguar Billaid waa aneated, ai wall *a aevenl of Ihe bciiiatbua parterre who bad b«en 
loo clamotooB in giving their opinion of Ihe mallet. The lallBl ware ralaaiad, but Billaid waa conducted to 
Chaienlon. When be ii again at liberty, he will ba paohihited going to the thaalita for aoae time, and 
pablic^tianquiQilf will return of itielf. Hia ' Subomeui' muat have been wratcbed atuff indeed, aince the

reared their gigantic headi at Ihe very water'a edge^ 
eicepi where a long atiipofaandy eanh, called by iba

yond tliiabill, the cliff trended aomewhal luddenly to 
the eaat, rtiing iUll higher al ihe immediate point, and 
cooatituting a landmark of pacuUar fbtroation. 

The bill or iirip of land, like a iiaiuial breakwater,

moored ihe fiigale mentioned by my host — ibe web- 
like Iracery of hor mails and cordage were clearly 
perceptible in relief against Ihe bright glories of iho 
western shy ; her taut-braced spars weie straight as tbe 
horimn line, and ihe low, dark hull sal upon Iba 

quielneai and peace, and had never dealt ibe iron death 
around. A revenue culler was anchored within a 
cable's length of Ihe beach, tilting, like Byron's twan. 
upon her shadow — the dislinguishing pennanl, which 
marked her as s king'i ciaft, naa clinging idly lo ber 
maali and th« half-hoiiled jib y^a* banging over hw 
bows unmOTed by brealb of breeze. A lew hnmblA

moored cloaa in shore j tbeaellingaun casting a lan|th]r

make a defioile conclusioa ai 10 the inieniioDa of the

thai the coune wai aaie, though nanon, and 1 duhsd 
down paat Iha damp ai>d cobwebbed walla at a lale 
that non braught me lo the end of the paraage. A

ardor of hia maater, threw oul hii paw upon the atone 
Wiib I)m inaDgth oTan engine, and biougbl me with- 
oat a pouaa ot a falter lo iLo lop of Ihe flight. I turned 
then through a amall and richly furniahed oparlnienl, 
which appeared lo be Ihe robing.toom, and in the 
next inatanl lha iteel hools of my hone wete ringing 
upon the marble aiilca of ibe chapel. 

The chancel waa brightly illuminated, and « priest 
in hia aurplica itood within il, with a breviary in hia 
band. On the outiide atood Helena, pale and greatly 
agitated, and beiide bar, a man. amall, and eoiuida- 
nbly deformed, whora 1 at once concluded lo be 
prince Minilzen. On her tight hand, at a liltle distance 
gum hia aialer. atood lord Angalein, leaning upon a 
pillar that aupparled Ibe chanccl«:reen. Hia oounle- 
nance, alwayi cold and haughty, bore a looli of ei- 
treme aerarily and reaolutiOD, mingled. I iboQgbt, with 
aomelhing of regret. 

All looked round aa I entered, in amoiemeot at Ibia 
boalile invaaion. When I had reached Ibe central 
-aiale, I iprang from my hone and advanaed lowarda 
the group, who alood gazing at me in mute aurpiiie. 

"Sir prteet," aaid 1, «almly and atemly, "in the 
name of the Qod at whoea altar you aerve, T command

Daahing aaide ibe p»iy ptiaae who alood trwiriiliDg 
in the meannasa of gnilty cowaidice, I sailed HeleD* 



1 my arnu, aod lilUng ber kilo the uuldla of Ihe 
one, sprang ap beltiad her with Ihe rapidity of light. 
Bad turned lbs animal lowofds the nestem end of the 
church, directly opposiia Id the chaoceL I bad otv 
aerved as 1 enlared at the other aide, Ibat there waa 
door al that eitremily wbicb stood partially open, 
and through Ibal quarter it was ay inleotion lo make 
my escape. Abnott at one bound -my bone cUaied 
(he length of the liltle cbopel. and brought me lo Ihe 
It awung open, and I perceived lo my horror 
(hat it gave upon no paib or load, but upon a rough 
ledge of rnrk which, after deacending unevenly lor a 
dislanco. lerminaled abrupily, and prescnied a 
deeccrii to thesandof Ibe shore below. A glance 
aaaured me that a leap would be perilous in Ihe el- 
). 1 looked back and saw lord Angsteio nub 
forward from the door which he had just secured, like 
sonast of a llger. I turned lo Helena: 
" Wilt you that we remain, or allompt ibia llighM" 
" Fly! oh. fly, at every hazard !' 
Allhe word, I spurred my noble steed focwatd over 
ihe biialling rocks. He clambered safely down tbe 
lugh declivity, liU ha readied the edge, and looked 
down upon the depth beneath. Ho paused as if lo 
jiinimon nil the strength of bis nuble nsluie. and 
'rouched iluvtn till hit limba were almost lecliningm 
.he ground, lis Ihen gave one liunlike spring, and 
be olr wiiiz^orl past my templea wiih the sound of a 
'ivulel. In llut moment the deep letuiuing tide of a 
brother's Bni.'i.lion prevailed over Ihe lorreul of poaaion 
lad conquered it, and aa we bung over the brow 
ofihe fforfnl precipice. I heard the voice of Angalein 
ghouling like the roar of thunder. " Stop! madmim, 
atop! and you shall have ber !" Il waa too lale. 

What w'oiild have been Ihe reault of thia attempt 
if the soil beneath bad partaken of the cbaiacler of 
that above, or hml resembled the quality of Ihe ground 
1 prevailed in tbe vicinity of ihe caatle. it would 
■e dilScuIl to conjecture. Fortutulely a deep 
ess of Band covered whatever bardnees there 
might have been beneath the surface, and we reached 
tbe earth wiibont iiyury. The horse quickly exlri- 
himself from Ihe depth lo which he bad been 
buried in the aoil, and aprang down upon the beach 
vigotoua aa when h^ lafl my own door. Koble 
chaigerl hia veina swelled with Ibe best blood of 
Arabia in their channels, and the fierce gladness of 
echoing noigh atill ringi in my ears aa I pen Ihese 
lines. 

Not a moment waa of oouise hi be lost, snd without 
ilopping to gaze or qusslion, I struck ra|adly £>rnaid

resilience lay. Tbe portion of Iho sea, on ihe edge

" A Sne praperly but yeaterday, and now," said Hr. 
Butler, taking snuS " a heap of ruins." 

'Gone 10 lindar," cried Adam, brooding on tiii own 
peoulisi loss.

not poeseseing eo much philosophy, or having greater 
bulk, was slower in hit moiion. and thua unlDCkily 
impeded Ihe retreat of a gigantic drsyman, who re- 
venged himself of ihe impeilimenl by dealing out lo 
Adam an impressive blow on the cheek. Many of 
the mcib who saw the outrage, aaw that the blood of 
Buff was up, for he turned round, Iixiking dealh, and 
inalinclively clenching hia fuls. "A fight! A fight T' 
piclaimed the crowd in a bum of plessurs, and soma 
pravidenily called for " ring." The drayjpan stood 
prepered. Mr. Butler, who had philusophically looked 
on, epproached Adam; it was an eventful momeol lor 
Buff, who eiO'id breslbing heavily, and measuring Iha 
figure of hiK anailant. " Bolter strip, sir," said a dia- 
interesled counsellor from the crowd — whilst nnoiher,

Buff—" I'll hold four coat, sir." The oOar seemed n 
decide Adam, for he placed his hand lo his lop button, 
snd when Ihe crowd hoped lo see a line analomf, 
Buff pulled siill higher Ihe collar of bis cost, cast a 
leok uf scorn on the grinning drayman, and loodlf 
proclaimed him to be unworthy of hia notice. Saying

Tho correct and graceful altitude into nhicb ihe

ing hia wild moaic, was peculiarly tlrihing. The feel 
were placed tide by tide, in potilion parallel, end the

doaely preaeed to ihe tide aa far down at Ihe elbow. 
Ihence eilended ibrmaid horiionially, and " 'iwiil hia

Such maa old Ben — auch hia character — auc' 
ToeatioD. In Fammon with many othen of tho claat 
nS eccenlriciliea with which thii nether world ia gilV 
ed withal, Benjamin waa a devout worablpper at the 
thiine of Bacchua, and would have been conalant it

nor, what it more tingular, to care about iL So Ihal 
ho obtained the fuanluai of tpiril, thai wat nffidt: 
it waa a mailer of indiffirence to him whether it waa 
named whitkey or brandy. He thought with Seneca, 
that " we have a anfficiency when we have what iia> 
tore rtquirea ;" but, unlike Seneca, ha thought Ihal 
that anlliciency ought lo cootiai of at leaai three or 
lour pinlB "of alcohol per diea. Without the given 
quantity of Ihal commodity, the bonet did not rallle 
well, nor did Ihe bell lend forth aoundt birmoniois. 
The voice wat cracked 'and broken, and Ihe whole 
frame, enervated nntil nature waa re-animated by the 
magic influeni-e of Uqaor ; but when Hat had been 
duly admiiiii-lered, than would Ihe couQIenonce bright-

narrow tpaca allbrded by the "hollow tquare," lo

ceiling, but would pour them forth apontaneonaly apoa 
the free anil ambient air. 

Poverty, by moat peraona, i* deemed a diagrace, and 
by some a crime, Ben nlwaya viewed thia mailer 
[litlercnlly. He neither thought it a dipgrace not ■ 
crime to be poor, becouic it was by poverty, t may 
Bay, that ho enriicd his daily bread and whiikey — 
aud no man should ao far rr)rget himtelf at lo veni hia

waa evidentty right. Never gUBirel with your bread

LOVE. By Ihe Aaihor of Flirlation, The Divorced, &c. Tux Vciuma. Carey, Lea, and Blanchard. 

The quaiul and malaphysical Cowley, who ia naw-a-deys entirely neglected by the novel ly hunting admireia 
of ApoUo'a children, aaya — 

A mighty pain lo love it u. 



The above quatrain may be adduced al a compendious critique upon the work before ua. Lady ChatloUa 
Bory, an aalhoiess of diilingaiaUed celebrity, has taken mighty p«ina lo porlect het " Love," and {torn ihs 
well-earned repulation of Iha ladyscribe, we should have considered il painful (o be denied a pertttal of ihia 
her latest lucubiaiioo. And yei, though " Love," it ia but " Love in vain," for her Ginie would have been aa 
high without the produciion of thia, " her grmiast pain." " Love" ia a faahlonable novel, whiten wilh all 
the Ikacinaling powara of Ihe author's imaginaliva mind, and detailing the amorous doingaof various lords and 
Udiee wilh s fidelity and minuleness peculiar lo the rhjsi popular iMvel* of tbe cisae. There is nothing new 
in the plot, and several of the characlsis are coniiderably over drawn. The Laali, an opera singer, who 
wiahea to pour vitriol into her valet's ears for Ibe purpose of caoajog hia dealheas — a peculiarity whieh she 
coiutders valuable in a domestic — may be adduced aa an inatance. The jargon which Ihia lady is made to 
apeak ia worse than the rudest patuia of an English-Irish-French Guernsey smuggler. The character of Mia 
Clermoni ia somewhat over-drawn — we have seen lad iaa play at billianla, not wilh delighl, but wilh Wtonish- 
meat at Ibeir skill, but we doubt if any thing like Ihe scene described in the following eilraci ever coald 
occur. " Melhinka Ihe lady doth profess loa much !" and tbe aulbor has failed in eicjiing the inleceal of the 
reader — on the contrary, the whole scene ia of an unpleasant and repulsive form.

There nete aln tracea of mote biller and rechleu feeling j bi|t theae were evidently Ihe work of a later 
hand — Ihe productioni of aome leai tutored and ondDriPg nature. Many political epignma had been partially 
eflbced, but more than otie alill remained lo prove Ihe indomitahility of ihe apiril whence ihey had emanated. 

FnXB Ihii cell we proceeded to that ofMiiabean ; and il waa noi wlihogl emolion thai latiMd in Ihe centre 
of hii narrow priaon, and leant upon ihe rude plank, filed wilhin the rcceaa of the aolilary window, whereon

We neil entered the council chBinber ; a vaulted epartmeni, nhere iron ilaplea era driven into ihe atone- 
work ahoui ihree feel from the ground, to which the priaoners were formerly ailached in a crouching aui' 
tnde, and tbui delained during the ivholo proceta of Iheir trial. It m lighted by tno graled aperturra opening 
from the domed roof, and one narrow ambreiure. 

The nail cell that wO invaded, waa ibal of Armand Polignsc, implicaled in the fabricalion of Iha Infernal 
. Machine in 1804 ; and we were not a lilile aiarlled on diacovariDg that ihe adjoining apartment had been 
uied aa a theatre by the prieonera, who had amntad their captivity by enacting playi within ita grim and 
grated, precincli. 

Beyond ihia " mockery of mirth" openi an OallkUt, wherein the piieonar could enter only upon hia bBnd* 
and kneei ; and whence being impelled onwaid by Ibe bayonela of the guard, he ultimately fell through ■

of an individual lingering amid their boriora for montha. 

You may imagine Ibe miaery of auch incarceration, when I tell you ihat a gentleman of the party meaiured

The iaiand waa, al the time, covered with Bocki of goata; and lh«sfl were the only auhjecta over whom the
