Abstract A summary of the resource. This song tells the humorous tale of a miller and his young wife, who has been having an affair with the local priest. When a scholar traveling from St. Andrews happens upon the mill in the evening, the miller invites him to stay the night with his wife and him, sending him along on his own until his work at the mill is done. When the scholar reaches the house, the miller’s wife refuses to let him in, instead sending him to the barn, where he uses cracks in the wall to discover that the wife has the priest over for supper. When the miller comes home early, the priest is trapped in the house and the wife hides the evidence of their feast. The scholar is invited back into the house, where he uses his witnessed information to convince the miller of his ability to summon food and drink from thin air and then pretends to conjure a demon in the form of a priest, allowing the priest to escape, but not without a heavy blow from the miller who believes he is driving the devil out of his house.

Frank OSBALDISTONE, a young man of a respectable family, had been several years at Bourdeaux, for the purpose of being instructed in the mercantile profession, when he was suddenly recalled by his father. During his residence abroad, Frank had devoted more time to the pursuits of literature than the ledger, and, therefore, when interrogated by his father with regard to the state of commerce in France, he discovered so much ignorance, that the old gentleman was highly displeased, and blamed Mr. Dubourg, to whose charge he had been committed. Frank exculpated that gentleman from all blame, and said that it was his own fault, as he felt no inclination for business. However, as he intended Frank to take a management hi his own extensive concerns, M r . Osbaldistone wished to put him under the charge of M r . Owen, who had been long his own principal clerk, and had now a small share in the banking business ; but Frank professed his dislike to the profession, and refused to comply with his father's wishes. M r . Osbaldistone then asked his son what his own grave projects were ; and on Frank saying he should like, either to travel for a few years, or attend the university, or obtain a commission in the army, he told him, in a rage, that unless he consented to his wishes, his nephew should inherit all his property, and gave him a month to consider of the proposal. During this interval, M r . Owen tried to prevail with Frank, by every argument he could adduce, to come into his father's terms ; but it was to no purpose ; for, on the day appointed, he repeated to his father the aversion he had to the mercantile profession, hoping, at the same time, that by his refusal he would not forfeit the affection of a parent. M r . Osbaldistone, on hearing Frank's ultimatum, told him, that since he refused to remain at home, he should immediately go to his uncle's, at Osbaldistone Hall, in Yorkshire, until some other arrangements were made. Accordingly, next day, Frank set off on horseback for Yorkshire, with fifty guineas in his pocket. During the journey, he began to reflect that he had probably made himself an outcast from his family, and lost the affection of his father by his stubbornness ; but, although he regretted what he had done, yet his pride would not allow him to return, and he continued his journey in very depressed spirits. In the country through which he passed there were few objects to amuse a young traveller, except the conversation of a few strangers, such as country parsons, farmers, graziers, merchants, travellers, and now and then a recruiting officer; from whom Frank received information about creeds and tithes, cattle and �4 corn, price of commodities, and a discription of battles. A leading topic with all of them was robberies ; and such details were given, as to raise serious apprehensions of being attacked. There was one man in particular, with whom Frank travelled a day and a half, who was very much afraid of highwaymen ; and this man had a large portmanteau, which he always carried into the inns himself, suffering no one to touch it. Frank, in order to amuse himself, inquired the weight and contents of his portmanteau; which alarmed the man so much, that he grew pale, his teeth chattered, and his hair stood e r e c t ; but on approaching to Darlington his fears subsided, and they soon arrived in safety at the sign of the Black Bear. Formerly, it was the custom o f travellers to rest on the Sunday, and f o r the landlords of inns, on that day, to invite all their guests to a family dinner. Frank and his companion having taken up their quarters for the Sunday at the above inn, sat down to a public dinner with the other guests, among whom there was a Scotchman of hardy features and athletic figure. Frank had been early prejudiced against Scotsmen by the stories of his nurse, and he regarded him with a settled dislike ; but the shrewd remarks, ready answers, and confidently-delivered opinions of the Scotsman, M r . Campbell, gave him no small importance on the present occasion. A quarrel having taken place about politics, the dispute was referred to and settled b y M r . Campbell over another bottle, and then the company separated. Next day Frank pursued his journey, and was delighted with the fine diversified scenes that everywhere met his view till he came in sight of Osbaldistone Hall, a huge antique castle, surrounded by stately oaks. H e was only at a short distance from the mansion, when the blast of a French horn was heard, and a pack of fox-hounds crossed the road, followed b y the hunters. Frank drew up his horse to let them pass without interruption, and had an opportunity of examining the whole group, which consisted of five young men and a very handsome female, all well mounted and well dressed. In passing, the lady's horse started out of the course, and Frank hastened to offer his services ; but there was no occasion, for she easily brought the animal to order, and gallopped off. Frank followed her, and soon heard the signal of the fox's death ; but the young lady, on reaching her companions, drew their attention towards Frank, and requested one of her cousins to speak to him. However, as the young man declined it, she rode up to Frank, and inquired, if, in the course of his travels, he had met with a M r . Francis Osbaldistone, whom they expected at the Hall. On Frank acknowledging himself to be the person, the lady informed him that her name was Diana Vernon, a relation of his uncle's, and then introduced him to Squire Thorncliffe �5 Osbaldistone, his cousin. As Miss Vernon accompanied Frank to the castle, she interrogated him by the way without any ceremony, and on their reaching the gate, put the bridle of her horse into his hand. After waiting a considerable time, he was at last relieved by one of the huntsmen, who took the horses, and a servant conducted him into a hall, where he met with his uncle Sir Hildebrand, and was introduced to the rest of the family. After dinner, the bottle was circulated so freely, that the company soon exhibited a scene of boisterous mirth and intoxication; but Frank, being temperate in his habits, made his escape into the garden. W h e n Frank returned to the castle, and had retired to his apartment for the night he began to reflect seriously on his situation. The society of his cousins would furnish him with little or no entertainment, as they delighted only in horses, hounds, and drinking; but he anticipated much pleasure from the company of the lively Miss Vernon, who had made a deep impression on his heart. Next morning Frank accompanied his cousins and Miss Vernon on a hunting expedition, and when the party were engaged in pursuing the fox, Miss Vernon told Frank she had something particular to communicate, and taking him to the summit of an adjoining hill, she pointed out Scotland, which she said he might reach in two hours. Frank asked, why she wished him to go there? " To provide for your safety," answered Miss Vernon ; " you are accused of having robbed one Morris, whom you travelled with to Darlington." Frank was startled at so unfounded a charge, and begged to know before whom this extraordinary accusation was laid, that he might instantly refute it. Miss Vernon told him, that the information had been lodged with 'Squire Inglewood, whose house was only a few miles distant, whither she would accompany him. Frank remonstrated with her on the impropriety of the proposal; but the young lady would have her own way, and accordingly they proceeded towards the residence of the justice. On arriving at Inglewood Place, they found Sir Hildebrand Osbaldistone and Rashleigh in the court-yard. Miss Vernon accosted the latter, and asked whether he had been talking to the Justice about Frank's affair ? Rashleigh replied that he had been exerting all his influence to serve his cousin ; and then turning to Frank, said that it would be more advisable for him to retreat into Scotland till the business could be "smoothed over," than appear before the Justice when presumptions were so strong against him. Frank, indignant at Rashleigh for recommending such a subterfuge, and entertaining suspicions of his criminality, replied, that he would have the matter investigated, and his character cleared from such a vile calumny. Rashleigh insisted that Miss Vernon at least should not interfere in the �6 business; but when he found her determined to remain till it was fully settled, he left them ; and the young lady conducted Frank into the house. Frank had followed Miss Vernon up stairs to the door of the dinning-room, where she left him to find a servant to introduce h e r ; but, being tired with waiting, Frank opened the door, and told the justice that his name was Osbaldistone, and that he had come to inquire into a charge, which some scoundrel had laid against him for alledged robbery. It so happened that Morris was present at dinner, and the Justice inquired of him, whether this was the gentleman he implicated ? Morris, alarmed at Frank's resolute appearance, replied, that " he charged nothing against the gentleman," at the same time whispered, that he withdrew his accusation against Frank, as he did not know " how many rogues might be in the house to back him." Miss Vernon now entered the room, where she was kindly received by the old Justice, and telling him her errand, requested to hear the charge against Frank. It stated, that the declarant, Mr. Morris, had been attacked by two highwaymen in masks, who took his portmanteau from him, and that he heard one of them call the other Osbaldistone, whom he suspected to be the same person who accompanied him to Darlington. Frank protested against the evidence, as incompetent to prove that he was the robber, and was offering to produce arguments to shew his innocence of the charge, when a servant entered and told the Justice that a strange gentleman wished to see him. This stranger was Mr. Campbell, the cattle-dealer, whom Morris and Frank had met at Darlington, who, having heard that Frank was unjustly accused, had come to relieve him from the prosecution. He stated, that Morris accompanied him several miles on the road towards Scotland, where he was attacked by two highwaymen, who carried of his portmanteau ; but that one of them, whom his companion addressed by the name of Osbadistone, was a much shorter and thicker man, and had a different complexion and visage from the young gentleman present. After delivering this deposition, he asked Morris if he would not forego his prosecution of Mr. Osbaldistone ; to which Morris consented, and Campbell offering to conduct him safely home, they departed together. Matters being thus settled, Miss Vernon and Frank also took leave of 'Squire Inglewood, who was happy in having got rid of this troublesome business. Next day, at breakfast, Sir Hildebrand congratulated Frank on his escape, and advised him to be more cautious of his future conduct. Frank could not help expressing indignation at the suspicions which his uncle entertained, and Rashleigh was apparently displeased at his father also; but the old gentleman looking stedfastly at Rashleigh, told him " he was a sly loon," but that " two faces under one head was not true heraldry," and �Instantly left the room. Frank, being left alone with Rashleigh, signified to him the unpleasant nature of his situation, in living with an uncle who believed him guilty of so disgraceful a crime, and said that he was determined to leave Osbaldistone Hall immediately. Rashleigh approved of his resolution, and said, that from Frank's attainments in literature, he might soon make a figure in the world ; but his own case was still more deplorable, for his father had resolved that he should follow the mercantile profession. After some conversation on these subjects, Frank requested Rashleigh to give him some information; but it was with evident reluctance that he complied. H e told Frank, that he had been formerly more intimate With Miss Vernon ; but had thought it prudent to withdraw as much as possible from the company of a susceptible girl, whose heart must be either given to the cloister, or to a betrothed husband ; that, by a family contract, she was destined to marry one of Sir Hildebrand's sons, and that Thorncliffe had been pitched upon by his father as her partner ; but that, if he, Rashleigh, acquired wealth in the mercantile profession, he would marry her himself. Frank, being strongly attached to Miss Vernon, was much mortified to find that she was the destined wife of another, and, after reproaching himself for becoming the dupe of her artifices, and blaming her for not informing him of the situation in which she stood with the Osbaldistone family, came down to dinner in a very bad humour. A t table, Miss Vernon, as usual, began to play of her raillery upon Frank ; but he returned it with such acrimony, that she was offended, and, accusing him of impoliteness to a female who wished to be on good terms with him, she soon after left the room. Frank began to regret the shameful manner in which he had behaved to Miss Vernon, and, in order to stifle his reflections, drank till he became so intoxicated, that he quarrelled with his cousins, and struck Rashleigh, who, however, did not think it worth while to resent the outrage. Thorncliffe challenged Frank to decide their quarrel with the sword ; but, after exchanging one or two thrusts, the combatants were separated, and Frank was carried off and locked in his apartment, from which he in vain attempted to break out. In the morning his passion had abated, and, sensible of the impropriety of his conduct, he made an apology to Rashleigh, which was accepted in a very gracious manner. This disagreeable business being settled amicably, Frank next thought of procuring an explanation with Miss Vernon, who anticipated his wish, by requesting his attendance in the library to expound an obscure passage in Dante which she had met with. On reaching the library, Miss Vernon began to rally Frank most unmercifully upon the exhibition he had made at table the night before, and, in a strain of irony, complimented him proofs, of courage he had dis- �8 displayed in his attack on Rashleigh, and in his combat with Thorncliffe, at the same time expressing her extreme sorrow that such an unpleasant affair had happened. Frank apologized for his behaviour, by alleging, that the provocation he received had urged him to resent it in an unguarded moment, when his passions were roused by the influence of liquor. Miss Vernon then spoke of the indiscretion with which he had treated her during dinner, and inquired if he had heard anything to lessen her in his estimation. Frank, confounded at this question, at first declined giving any reply ; but she persisted in demanding an explanation, and particularly, whether Rashleigh had said any thing prejudicial to her character. However, he evaded her request, on the pretext that it was improper to disclose the subject of a private conversation, which was delivered in confidence ; but she grew so importunate, that Frank at last related all that he had heard from Rashleigh. Miss Vernon, shuddering with indignation, said, that she would rather die than marry such a villain as Rashleigh ; and disclosed the methods which he had employed to corrupt her moral principles in the course of her juvenile education, and the artifices he afterwards employed to seduce her. On discovering Rashleigh's intentions, she withdrew from his society, and had ever after regarded him with detestation. Frank, astonished at this disclosure, drew his sword, and was preparing to leave the room in order to take vengeance on Rashleigh, but was prevented by Miss Vernon. In a few days after this, Rashleigh set out for London, and Frank then enjoyed the company of Diana Vernon without reserve; and being intrusted to superintend the finishing of her education, he found her one of the most intelligent and accomplished of her sex. Frank now endeavoured to render himself as agreeable as possible to the family at Osbaldistone Hall, and succeeded in gaining the good graces of his uncle, by assisting in settling his accounts ; and he became a still greater favourite with his cousins, by joining in their amusements. As Frank was often strolling about, he occasionally took a walk into the garden, where he was much diverted with the remarks of Andrew Fairservice. One day Andrew informed him, that he had met with one Pate Macready, a pedlar, who told him that the affair of Morris and his portmanteau had been brought before the Parliament at Lunnan and also, that 'Squire Inglewood, Sir Hildebrand Osbaldistone, and some other folks besides, had been mentioned ; and that, after much altercation, the business had been dismissed as a false and calumnious libel. Frank expressed a wish to see Macready; which Andrew immediately gratified, by bringing him to the garden. Macready related to Frank the particulars of the trial, from which it appeared, that the depositions of Morris were so �9 contradictary, that they could not be received as competent evidence. Frank was both vexed and perplexed that this affair should, have become so notorious ; and after ordering the pedlar so send him some articles, and giving a small present to Andrew Fairservice for his trouble, he returned home, deliberating how he should vindicate his character. As Frank's mind could not be at ease while the robbery of Morris was laid to his charge, he determined on setting out for London to explain the whole affair to his father, and take his advice respecting the most effectual means o f disproving the calumny. Before departing, however, he wrote to his father the object of his visit; and, while delivering his letter at the postoffice, he received one from Owen, endorsing a draft for £100, to supply his present necessities. On returning to Osbaldistone Hall, Frank found that the family had gone to Trinlay-knowe, and he sauntered into the garden to hear if Fairservice had picked up any fresh news. While engaged in conversation, they observed the door of a small room in the corner of the garden half open, and were at a loss to conjecture who could be there, as it was never freqented by any of the family but Rashleigh. Andrew supposed that it was then occupied by Father Vaughan, a grave old Catholic priest, a particular acquaintance of Rashleigh's, and a confidant of Miss Vernon, with whom he had frequent interviews. Frank could not comprehend this mysterious intercourse, and suspected that the priest was either giving her religious instruction, or preparing her for the cloister ; and these conjectures made him very unhappy, from the attachment he entertained for that lady. Frank now began to watch every motion of Miss Vernon with minute attention, which gave her great offence ; yet they never came to an explanation. One day, as they were sitting in the library, she inquired if he had lately heard from his father. On Frank replying in the negative, she observed that it was very strange, for his father had gone to Holland on some urgent business, leaving Rashleigh with the sole management of his affairs till he returned, and she urged him to set of immediately for London, lest his cousin should involve his father's business in irretrievable ruin. Frank expressed his concern at this intelligence, and great reluctance to leave her, whom he loved above all the world ; but Miss Vernon told him, that his affections were misplaced, as she had resolved to spend the remainder of her days in a convent. After quitting the apartment, Frank retired to his own, where the thoughts of his father's affairs, and the resolution of Miss Vernon, prevented him from enjoying any rest the ensuing night; but he determined, before leaving Osbaldistone Hall, to find out the reason, if possible, or her mysterious conduct, and ascertain her real character. Accordingly, one Sunday evening, he took his station in the �10 garden. After waiting impatiently for some time, he saw the glimmering of a candle, and he entered the library, where he found Diana alone and much flnrried. On her inquiring the cause o f his visit at so unseasonable an hour, he pretended to have come for Orlando Furioso, and turning over some books, he descried a man's glove lying on the table. Diana, blushing deeply, said it was her grandfather's, which she kept as a relic ; but as this explanation did not satisfy Frank, she told him that it belonged to a friend whom she honoured, esteemed, and loved. Frank made some sarcastic observations, and Miss Vernon told him that she would discover no more than she had already done ; but that, as they were soon to part for ever, she begged that they might still be friends, and gave him a letter she had received from London, containing the intelligence of Rashleigh having carried off bills to a very large amount belonging to his father, with which he had departed for Scotland, and that Frank's relatives wished him to repair to Glasgow in search of the fugitive. Next morning Frank prepared to leave, Osbaldistone H a l l ; but his feelings were much agitated, both by the state of his father's affairs, and on account of his separation from Miss Vernon. A t Glasgow, he was to meet with Owen, who had already gone their in pursuit of Rashleigh ; but, being unacquainted with the road to Scotland, he repaired to Andrew Fairservice for instruction respecting the route he should pursue, and found him reading a volume of Dr. Lightfoot aloud, to frighten away the ghaists, as he said, by godly exercise. Andrew offered to accomany him, as he had been long thinking of flitting from Osbaldistone Hall ; and, accordingly, it was agreed that they should set off together next morning by five o'clock. Frank was up by two o'clock, and, after leaving a letter on the table for his uncle, he saddled his horse, and arrived at the cottage ofAndrewFairservice, who was already mounted on a naig and waiting to attend him. Frank ordered him to ride as quickly. as possible, and Andrew pushed on his naig at the rate o f eight or ten miles an hour, by unfrequented paths, through moors and bogs, and over hill and dale, without diminishing his speed, Frank, unable to keep up with him, hallooed in vain to him to stop ; but on threatening to blow out his brains, A n d r e w drew up his naig, and apologized for riding so fast, by saying, that " he had taken a stirrup-cup of brandy at parting with his old cronies, which made him a little flighty that morning." Having arrived at Glasgow on a Sunday, when the people were all in church, they alighted at an inn, and Frank inquired at the landlady for Messrs Macvittie, Macfin, and Company, from whom he expected to hear of M r . Owen ; but he was told that these good people would be attending public worship at the Barony Laigh Kirk. Frank proceeded thither, accompanied by Andrew Fairservice, and was �11 struck with admiration at the magnificent appearance of that ancient edifice, which Andrew informed him had been saved from destruction at the Reformation, by the townsmen agreeing to deliver up the idolatrous statues of the sants. Frank looked round the congregation, to see if he could discover Owen among them, but in vain ; and was just about to leave the church to go in quest of him, when he heard a voice from behind a pillar whisper distinctly in his ear, " You are in danger in this city." He startled at this mysterious caution, especially as he could not perceive from whence it proceeded, and resolved to remain, to afford the unknown monitor an opportunity of renewing his warning. In a few minutes the voice repeated, " You are in danger in this place—so am I ; — m e e t me on the brig at twelve precisely ;—keep at home till the gloaming, and avoid observation." Frank saw and attempted to follow the stranger down stairs ; but as he could not overtake him, he waited till the congregation was dismissed. When Frank reached the inn, he reflected seriously on the admonition given him, and whether he ought to keep the appointment with the stranger ; but, after some consideration, he determined to meet his mysterious counsellor. Having walked about till twelve o'clock, Frank entered upon the bridge, and saw a person wrapped up in a cloak, who told him that he was the person whom he came to meet; and desired him to follow, that he might see with his own eyes what was of importance for him to know. Frank was rather unwilling to accompany the stranger ; but, lest he should be thought a coward, he followed his conductor. As they passed along the streets, the stranger gave such a suspicious account of himself, that Frank would hardly consent to go farther, till he urged the necessity of his proceeding in order to learn from a person in prison the danger of his own situation. On arriving at the prison gate the stranger knocked ; and, after saying something to the turnkey, which Frank did not understand, they both entered the jail, where a friendly conversation took place betwixt his guide and the turnkey, who seemed to be old acquaintances. The turnkey then gave a sign to Frank to follow him, and led him up several stairs, till they came to a small apartment, where he observed a person asleep. This was, poor Mr. Owen, who, on recognising Frank, conjectured was also brought to jail, and he began to lament the misfortunes which had befallen his father ; but Frank interrupted him, by inquiring the cause of his imprisonment. Owen told him, that immediately on his arrival at Glasgow, he had called on Messrs Macvittie, Macfin, and Company, with whom Mr. Osbaldistone, his father, did most of his business, to consult them about the state of his affairs ; but, on finding that the house of Osbaldistone and Tresham was considerably indebted to them, they behaved very �12 ill and had thrown him into jail, on account of his being a partner of the London firm: that, in these deplorable circumstances, he had sent an account of his situation to Bailie Nicol Jarvie, a Glasgow merchant, with whom Mr. Osbaldistone sometimes did business; but that he had no sanguine expectations from that quarter. However, in this Owen was agreeably disappointed ; for all though the Bailie was going to bed when the letter came, he immediately dressed himself, and set out for the prison, where he arrived shortly after Frank's introduction to Owen. The noise which the Bailie made at the door alarmed Frank's guide, who attempted to make his escape ; but the worthy magistrate prevented him, by giving orders to the captain of the jail, when hecame in, to lock the door and allow no one to pass upon his peril. The stranger entered their apartment before the Bailie ; and the latter, after some conversation with Owen on the affairs of Mr. Osbaldistone, and blaming him for extending his speculations so far, produced his own ledger, from which it appeared that the London house owed him also a large balance. Nevertheless, the Bailie told Owen, that, as it was impossible for him to redd up the business in prison, he should find caution for his appearance, and then he would be set at liberty ; but, as Owen said he knew of no one to whom he could apply, the Bailie generously offered to become bail himself. W h i l e conversing with Owen, the Bailie had taken no notice of Frank and his conductor ; but, when about to leave the apartment, he examined, the stranger, and then exclaimed, " Y e robber, ye cateran, ye born deevil, that ye are, can this be you ? " " E ' e n as you say," replied he. The Bailie continued his abuse, and even added threats of punishment; but the stranger told him, calmly, that he would never put them in execution, for the sake of auld langsyne, for their relationship, and for fear of the consequences. The honest Bailie was reproaching him for his acts of theft-boot, black-mail, spreaghs, and gill-ravaging, when the stranger requested he would not speak more on these subjects, and his " counting-room should not be cleaned out when the Gillan-a-naillie came to redd up the Glasgow buiths" The Bailie consented not to inform against him, and then pointing to Frank, inquired if that was not some gill-ravager he had listed into his service ? Owen said it was Mr. Francis Osbaldistone, the only son of his worthy master. The Bailie observed, that he had heard of the hopeful youth before; and then reproached Frank for renouncing the mercantile profession to become a poet and a gentleman, and asked if his poetry would " procure him five thousand pounds to answer his father's bills, which would be due in ten days ? " Frank was displeased at the Bailie's taunt; but, while musing on what he heard, he hastily drew out a letter �13 given him by Diana Vernon, which was not to be opened till within ten days of any emergency. Another letter was enclosed, which fell at the feet of the Bailie, who took it up, and, seeing it was addressed to Robert Campbell (the unknown stranger), he delivered it into his hands. Frank was confounded to recognise in his guide his old acquaintance the drover, and wondered what could be the purport of Miss Vernon's letter to him ; but conjecturing that it might be sent to entreat Campbell to discover the retreat of Rashleigh, he was led to enquire where his kinsman was. Campbell gave an indirect answer, but requested Frank and the Bailie to meet him at the clachan of Aberfoyle, where he would disclose something that might be of service to them both, and he would pay Bailie Jarvie a thousand pounds Scots which he then owed him. After giving their consent to pay Rob a visit, they all left the prison, and Frank accompanied the Bailie to his house, where, being warned by him not to keep company wi' Hielandmen and thae wild cattle, he received an invitation to breakfast next morning, and then took his leave. Next morning, Owen and Frank breakfasted with the Bailie, and in the course of conversation, Frank made some inquiries about Mr. Campbell. The Bailie said, that Rob, as he called him, had once been a Highland drover, but was now a gentleman, and commanded " thirty waur cattle ; " and he declined entering farther into his history, saying, it was more necessary to examine his father's accounts. After putting on his spectacles, he looked into the ledger, and found that the sum which Osbaldistone and Company owed him was considerable; but, with great generosity, he said, that if he should lose by them, he had also gained, and therefore he would just " l a y the head of the sow to the tail of the grice." Meditating on his present prospects, and projecting schemes for his future conduct, Frank strolled first into the College, and then into a solitary adjoining walk, at the end of which he observed three men in earnest conversation. To his surprise, he found them to be Rashleigh, Macvittie, and Morris, the two last of whom went away, and afforded him an opportunity of accosting Rashleigh, who was much confused at the rencounter. Frank demanded an account of the property with which he had absconded, or to go before a magistrate ; but as Rashleigh declined doing either, he insisted on satisfaction, and they retired to a more remote place to settle the quarrel with their swords. They fought with equal skill and courage for some time, until Frank's foot slipped, and then Rashleigh made a home-thrust at him, which grazed his ribs. The pain it occasioned made Frank furious, and grappling with his adversary, he was attempting to run him through the body, when they were stopt by the powerful arm of Campbell, who swore he would "cleave to the brisket �14 the first that minted another stroke." After trying in vain to bring about a reconciliation between them, Campbell forcibly disengaged Frank's hand from his antagonist's collar, and desired Rashleigh to leave them. At departing, Rashleigh said, that as the quarrel had not been settled, they would meet again at some future opportunity ; and Frank was for following him but Campbell mentioned that Rashleigh had engaged Morris to renew his accusation against him for the robbery, therefore Frank thought it prudent to delist. Campbell warned him to keep out of the sight of Rashleigh, Morris, and Macvittie, and then, after renewing his invitation to visit him at the clachan of Aberfoyle, he went away. Frank called at an apothecary's to get his wound dressed, and then went to dine with the Bailie. Frank related his meeting with Rashleigh, and mentioned what he had learned from Campbell ; to which the Bailie and Owen listened with amazement. He then asked the worthy magistrate's advice regarding the propriety and safety of visiting Campbell. The Bailie, highly pleased at being consulted, thought that it would be advisable, that Frank should leave Glasgow for a while ; and described the Highlanders as an uncivilized and lawless set: That Robert Campbell alias Rob Roy Macgregor, was once a great drover, or grazer and dealer in cattle, a business followed by gentlemen of property in the Highlands, and had by his bold speculations suffered some severe losses, which so reduced him that he became a levier of the black-mail, a customary tributary tax, imposed by those lawless depredators, of four pounds Scots on one hundred pounds of vauled rent, to secure property from Skaith, or to recover any cattle that were stolen: That any one refusing to pay this tribute was certain of being plundered by Rob, who could raise five hundred men, all devoted to his service ; and that, although Morris suspected him of the robbery, he was afraid to accuse him. The Bailie added, That as Frank's father, had granted bills for a great quantity of wood bought in the Highlands, which he had no means of retiring, unless the assets and money carried off by Rashleigh to some of the Highland haulds could be recovered, and that it was in Rob Roy's power to de this if he liked ; but as this could not be done in time to save his father's credit, that he had got three individuals in Glasgow to advance a sum sufficient for the purpose. The Bailie undertook to accompany Frank to Aberfoyle, where, by representing the matter to Rob, who had a good heart, he hoped, through his means, to gain possession of it. Accordingly, next morning, at five o'clock, he was equipped in his trot-cosey, jack-boots, and other riding-gear, ready to mount, when Frank arrived at his door. After some delay, occasioned by the knavery of Andrew Fairservice, and by the �15 Bailie's housekeeper. Mattie, tying a silk handkerchief round her master's neck, they out for the Highlands, and the party in due time arrived at the clachan of Aberfoyle. Having drawn up their horses at the inn, the sound of several voices made them hesitate to alight; at last they rapped, but the landlady refused to admit them, saying, " h e r house was ta'en up wi' them that wadna like to be intruded on wi' strangers." The Bailie was unwilling to enter; but Frank insisted, that he must have some refreshment, and therefore ordered the horses to be put into the stable. On entering the principal room of this paltry inn, they saw a blazing fire of turf, near which sat three men, drinking and engaged in conversation ; two of them dressed in the Highland costume, and the other in the Lowland, all boldlooking, stout,men, equipped with swords and pistols, and their naked dirks were stuck upright on the table, while another Highlander lay slumbering on the floor. Frank and his two comrades having seated themselves near the fire, desired the landlady to give them something for supper. The three men turned round, and after staring at them for a few minutes, one of them asked how they could have the assurance to break in upon "gentlemens that had taken up the public-house on their ain business." Frank and the Bailie apologized, by saying that they meant no offence, and had come to the inn to get some refreshment, but this explanation not satisfying them, the Highlander, unsheathing his broad-sword, desired them to draw ; and as they were three to three, he advanced to Frank, who put himself in a posture of defence. The other Highlander, with his sword drawn, confronted the Bailie, who in vain tried to pull out his sword, which was so rusted in the sheath from long disuse, that he was forced to look about for some other weapon of defence. However, as a substitue, he drew a red-hot poker from the fire, and brought it against his antagonist with such effect, that he set his plaid in a blaze. Andrew immediately took to his heels, and his antagonist, the Lowlander, crying out, " f a i r play," would take, no part in the fray, but remained neuter. Frank and the Bailie were still maintaining the contest, when the peeping Highlander, who was no other than Dougal, the, turnkey, started up to their assistance, and said he would " fight for Bailie Jarvie," at the same time he attacked his countryman. This auxiliary, with the assistance of the Lowlander, soon succeeded in separating the combatants, and in effecting a reconciliation between the parties, the Bailie promising to send the Highlander a new plaid to replace the one he had burnt. When supper was nearly ready, Frank missed Andrew Fairservice, who had not been seen since the beginning of the fray, and he was going out to seek him in the stable, when the landlady took him aside, and put into his hand a written communication from �16 Rob Roy to this effect : That he durst not meet the Bailie and him at the clachan of Aberfoyle, as the night-hawks were abroad ; but that the bearer of the letter was trusty, and would guide them to a place where he could meet them with safety. —In the stable he found Andrew, who was in great dismay, as he had seen one of Rob's gillies give the letter to the landlady for his master. During supper, Frank overheard them concerting the best means of catching Rob Roy, and expressing their impatienc, for the arrival of some red-coats, who were to assist them. Their discourse was interrupted by the entrance of an officer, who inquired if they were the gentlemen he was appointed to meet with there; and, on their answering in the affirmative, he shewed them a warrant which he had received, " to search for and arrest two persons accused of treasonable practices." On looking at the Bailie and Frank, he observed, that they answered the description exactly; and, notwithstanding their protestations to the contrary, he caused them to be searched. The only paper found on Frank was Rob Roy's letter, which made the officer suspect that they were his confederates, and therefore he ordered them into custody till further inquiry. Frank and his companion having retired to rest, they were roused from their slumber in the middle of the night, by the noise of soldiers dragging in a culprit. This prisoner was poor Dougal, the ex-turnkey, whom they found, on examination, to be one of Rob Roy's accomplices, and by his own confession to have parted with him about an hour before. The officer threatened to hang Dougal on the next tree unless he discovered Rob Roy's retreat, and a piece of cord being actually prepared before his eyes, the poor creature was obliged to consent to conduct them. Having drawn up his men, the officer forced Frank and the Bailie to join them, and then the whole set out under the guidance of Dougal. The road was at first open, but it afterwards took a winding direction among the hills, and led to a narrow pass, scarcely sufficient to admit the troops. Here they made a halt, as they found a commanding position of the path before them occupied by Highlanders, and heard the sound of bagpipes in their rear ; but Captain Thornton, the officer, having resolved to force the pass, seized his pike from one of the soldiers, and putting himself at their head, gave the word to march forward. The party had advanced within twenty yards of the spot which was occupied by the enemy, when they observed the Highlanders, with their bonnets and long guns, crouching among the brushwood on the eminence, and were stopped by the sudden appearance of a female on the summit of a rock, who ordered them to stand, and demanded what they sought in the country of the Macgregor. Captain Thornton replied, that he came in search of Rob Roy Macgregor Campbell, and if any resistance �17 was made to prevent him, he was determined to force his way. The strange female, who was no other than Rob's wife, told him, that, not content with depriving her and her family of every comfort, they were now come to seek their lives; but notwithstanding her remonstrances, the Captain ordered his men to march forward, and the soldiers were attempting to gain the ascent, when a volley of musketry from the heights killed three of the soldiers. The king's troops returned the fire of their concealed enemies, but with little effect; yet, being overpowered by numbers, they at last laid down their arms, and submitted at discretion. During the conflict, Dougal and Frank had escaped from danger, by creeping into a thicket which overhung the road, and then ascended the rocks ; but the Bailie, in clambering up after them, had fallen down, and would have perished, had not the branch of a tree caught hold of his coat, and supported him in a hanging posture. Here the worthy magistrate dangled like the pendulum of a clock, till he was observed by Dougal, who, by cutting the tails from his coat, extricated him from this perilous situation. When the battle was over, Frank sallied out to see what was become of his companions, and, having descried the Bailie sitting under the covert of a rock on the bank, ascended up the height till he reached his friend. On looking around, they saw Andrew Fairservice surrounded by some Highlanders, who stripped him of all his wearing apparel, and gave him some old clothes in return. Frank and the Bailie were dragged from their retreat, and would likely have shared the fate of Andrew, had not Dougal prevented it. They were carried before Helen Campbell, whom the Bailie accosted as his cousin, and endeavoured to prove himself her kinsman, by mentioning a long list of ancestors ; at the same time expressing his regret, that any of his relations should have disgraced themselves by becoming freebooters. Helen disdained to acknowledge him as her kinsman, and, being piqued at the reproaches he had uttered, gave orders to throw Frank and the Bailie into the adjoining loch ; but at this crisis Dougal interposed to save their lives. He had scarcely finished his supplications intheirfavour, when the sound of a pibroch was heard at a distance, and instantly a troop of thirty Highlanders came towards them. They brought the melancholy news, that her husband was taken prisoner by Galbraith's militia ; but that his men had carried off a captive, whom they intended to keep as an hostage for Macgregor's safety. This hostage was Frank's accuser, Morris, whom Helen commanded to be dragged before her; and he, anticipating the fate which awaited him, pleaded hard for his life, and protested that he was only the agent of Rashleigh. However, the vindictive Helen would not listen to his entreaties ; but commanded him to be rolled in a plaid, with a stone round his neck and thrown into the adjoining lake. Her �18 orders were instantly executed, and the poor wretch sunk to rise no more. Helen Macgregor now ordered Frank before her, and interrogated him. On his giving satisfactory answers to her inquiries, Helen said, that being a neutral person, he was not liable to be detained a prisoner, and therefore she would send him with a message to the commander of the party who had taken her husband. The purport of this communication was, that if her enemies put to death, or even maltreated, Rob Roy Macgregor Campbell, she would not only take vengeance on the whole country, but slay all the prisoners in her possession. After some explanation on the subject, Frank, attended by Andrew Fairservice, having Rob's youngest son for a guide, travelled a considerable distance, before he arrived at the station of the king's troops, where he found the Duke of Montrose, and delivered the message. He immediately ordered the prisoner to be brought before him, and Rob made his appearance, with his arms buckled tight down to his body with a horse-girth, and on each side a non-commissioned officer had a hold of him, besides a file of men before and another behind, with their bayonets fixed, to prevent the possibility of his escape. On entering, he bowed to the Duke, who observed, that it was long since they had met, and accused him of being the oppressor and terror of the country by his depredations ; but that he was now drawing near the end of his career. Rob, in turn, accused the Duke of being the author of his misfortunes, by driving him to that kind of life which he now led, and said, that if he suffered death, many would lose their lives in return. In order to secure the prisoner, the Duke had caused him to be placed on horseback behind one of the strongest men in the troop, whose name was Ewan of Brigglands, and both were buckled on so tightly, that it was impossible for Rob to escape. The cavalcade pursued their journey, till they came to a ravine, down which one horseman only could descend after another in succession ; and while apart from the rest, Rob whispered to his companion, that it was barbarous " t o carry an auld friend to death like a calf to the shambles begging him to cut the thong which bound him. After much solicitation, Ewan cut the leather while they were crossing the Forth, and his prisoner slipped from the horse and plunged into the river. The Duke had reached the opposite side, and, by the waning light, was engaged in putting his troops in order as they landed, and directing the prisoners to be brought over when he heard the plunge. He immediately suspected the cause, and finding on Ewan's landing, that hit suspicions were verified, he cried out, " Rascal, where's the prisoner ? " and then fired a pistol at him, vociferating, " Gentlemen, disperse and follow him; a hundred guineas to him that �19 secures Rob Roy," All was confusion; some of the troopers fearlessly rushed into the water, while others rode up and down the banks to discover where he would land, and firing at every object which attracted their notice ; but, as a great part of them wished to favour his escape, the search was not made with sufficient eagerness. A t one time, being closely pursued, he disengaged himself from his plaid, which he allowed to float down the stream and deceived his pursuers. However, the evening began to grow darker, and the banks so precipitous, that it was found impossible to continue the pursuit. The commanding officer therefore, ordered a retreat to be sounded. Frank now heard some one inquiring where the English stranger was, and then exclaiming that he had given R o b Roy the knife to cut the belt. This exclamation was followed by threatenings of vengeance On him, and finding there was some risk of his being shot on the spot, he leapt off his horse, and hid himself in some bushes. When the noise of the troopers had subsided, and all was quiet, Frank left his hiding-place, with the determination of making the best of his way to Aberfoyle. On his way thither he was overtaken by two strangers on horseback, one of whom accosted him, and inquired, in the English tongue, where he was bound for, and if the passes were open. Frank, who had been whistling, told where he was going, but could not say whether the passes were open or not, and advised them to turn back, as there had been some disturbance in that quarter. After somefurtherconversation, the other rider said, in a voice, which vibrated through all his nerves, " W h e n M r Francis Osbaldistone does not wish to be discovered, he ought to refrain from whistling his favourite airs." Frank discovered the last speaker to be Dianna Vernon, who was disguised in a horseman's cloak. Some conversation ensued, in which Frank discovered his jealousy of her companion. Miss Vernon took out a small case, which she gave to Frank, telling him it was the property that Rashleigh had carried off from his father, and which he had been forced to give up. She then, after many expressions of endearment and sorrow, with tears in her eyes, bade him farewell for ever, and rode off with her companion, leaving poor Frank in a state of stupefaction. On recovering from his stupor, Frank, feeling a strong desire to see her again, quickened his pace to reach Aberfoyle, where he supposed they must stop for the night. While hurrying forward, he was accosted, in a deep voice, by a Highlander, with, " There's a braw night, Maister Osbaldistone;" and in the speaker he immediately recognised Rob Roy, who had got clear off from his pursuers. Frank congratulated him on escaping from his enemies. Rob inquired the particulars of all that had happened to him since he left Glasgow, and Frank recounted the affray at the clachan of Aberfoyle the arrest of the Bailie and himself by �20 Captain Thornton, the skirmish at the pass, and, lastly, the recovery of his father's property from Rashleigh. Rob was highly diverted on hearing the Bailie's exploits with the red-hot poker at Aberfoyle, and observed, that his cousin, Nicol Jarvie, had got some good blood in his veins, although bred to a mechanical business. He told Frank, that his enemies were laying snares to catch him (Rob Roy) on his return from Glasgow, of which he had been apprized ; therefore he found it impossible to meet the Bailie and him at the clachan of Aberfoyle. They had nearly reached the village, when three armed Highlanders sprung upon them ; but Rob uttering the word Gregarach they recognised him, and burst into joyful acclamations. After an extravagant but kindly embrace, two of them ran off to communicate the pleasing intelligence ; and so speedily did the information spread, that, before Frank and he could reach the inn at Aberfoyle, they were surrounded by a multitude. When Rob had satisfied the curiosity of his friends, by relating the story above a dozen times, they were suffered to enter the house, where they found the Bailie seated at the fireside. The welcomes, apologies, and congratulations, being over, the Bailie, after filling up a stoup of brandy, which held above three ordinary glasses, drank it off to the health of Rob and his family, and then began to descant on the impropriety of Rob's bringing up his sons in the same wicked ways with himself; and he proposed to take them, without any apprentice-fee, and to discharge the debt of 1000 pounds Scots which he owed him. Rob, in high indignation, rejected the proposal; and ordering one of his retainers to bring in his sporran, he took out 1000 pounds Scots, which he gave to the Bailie. With great formality the Bailie produced the bond for the debt, regularly discharged, which he wished to get attested by witnesses; but Rob laid hold of the paper, and threw it into the fire, saying, it was the way he settled accounts in the Highlands. Next morning, the Bailie was observing, that they should immediately set out for Glasgow, when Rob entered, and persuaded them to visit his abode. Frank learned from Rob, that Rashleigh, finding he could not get Diana, and then being obliged to give up Mr Osbaldistone's papers, was so irritated, that he posted to Stirling, and betrayed all the plans of KingJames'adherents to the commander, who was induced to send the detachment by whom Rob was taken prisoner. Rob concluded his information with the most deadly threats of vengeance on Rashleigh, and at the time, frowning darkly, he grasped the handle of his dirk. They had now proceeded along the sides of the Lake about six miles, when they came to a number of Highland huts, and found a numerous party of the Macgregors assembled to receive them, with Rob's wife and two sons at their head. Helen gave them a kindly but dignified welcome, and apologizing for �21 the rough manner in which they had been formerly treated, invited them to partake of a plentiful repast on the Green. On rising to take their leave, Helen bade the Bailie farewell, and then turning to Frank, put into his hand a ring, which, she said, had been given to her by Miss Vernon, accompanied with these words, " Let him forget me for ever." At a late hour they arrived in Glasgow; and Frank, after consigning the Bailie to the care of Mattie, proceeded to his former residence, where he found there was still a light in the window. On knocking, the door was opened by Andrew Fairservice, who, giving a loud cry of joy, ran up stairs, and Frank followed him into a parlour, where, to his great surprise, he found his father and Owen, both of whom embraced him tenderly. Mr Osbaldistone, who had arrived in London shortly after Owen left it, only waited there till he collected sufficient funds to pay every demand on the house, which, from his extensive resources, he easily accomplished, and then had posted to Scotland for the purpose of bringing Rashleigh to justice, and putting his affairs in order in that quarter. His arrival with sufficient funds to fulfil all his engagements was a dreadful blow to Macvittie and Company, who tried, by the most servile apologies, to gain his favour; but he paid the balance owing them, and closed their account. Andrew Fairservice, who, after undergoing an examination, had been sent back to Glasgow by the Duke, only reached the inn a few hours before Frank, gave such an account of the dangerous situation of his master to Mr Osbaldistone, that he resolved to set out for the Highlands in the morning, and endeavour to get his son liberated. Next day Mr Osbaldistone waited on Bailie Jarvie to thank him for his kindness, and for the trouble he had taken to recover the papers, and then offered him that part of his business which Macvittie and Company formerly transacted. The Bailie accepted the offer with gratitude; and, after conversing a while with Mr Osbaldistone, took Frank aside to request of him not to speak a word about the queer adventures they met with in the Highlands; for if Bailie Graham heard of him fighting with Highlandmen, and singeing their plaids, and the suspension by the coat-tails, " it wad be a sair hair in his neck as lang as he lived." As the object of their journey was accomplished, Frank and his father, after spending a comfortable day with Bailie Jarvie, took their leave, and began to prepare for leaving Glasgow. The Bailie continued to thrive in business, adding to his wealth and credit, and, in due time, attained the office of chief magistrate, but, growing tired of the life of a bachelor, hemarriedhishousekeeper, Mattie, whom he considered to be a proper wifeforhim, because " s h e was akin to the Laird of Limmerfield." �22 One morning, before M r Osbaldistone and Frank had left Glasgow, they were alarmed by Andrew Fairservice bursting into the parlour, to communicate the intelligence of a rebellion having broken out in the West Highlands to restore King James ; that the clans had all risen to a man, and that Rob Roy and all his petticoat bands would be there in twenty-four hours. Andrew's news was not without foundation, for it proved to be the beginning of the great Rebellion of 1715, which was headed by the Earl of Mar, and involved in ruin so many noblemen and gentlemen, both in Scotland and England. The rebellion having extended to England, Frank's uncle, Sir Hildebrand, joined the insurgents; but, lest his estates should be confiscated, he left it to all his sons in succession, except Rashleigh, whom he cut off with a shilling; and, in the event of their death, it was to descend to Frank. It is somewhat strange, that all Sir Hildebrand's sons died, or were killed, a short time afterwards. B y his uncle's will Frank succeeded to Osbaldistone Hall, and he set off, attended by Andrew Fairservice ; but, as his right to the property was disputed by Rashleigh, before going there, he called on his old friend Justice Inglewood, the holder of his uncle's original will, from whom he met with a kind reception. The will being produced after dinner, rank found that every thing was correct; and when they had nk a few glasses, the Justice insisted on a bumper to Miss Vernon's health, which led to some conversation about that lady. From him Frank learned, that it was Diana's father, Sir Frederick Vernon, who accompanied her to the Highlands, and who had assumed the disguise of Father Vaughan at Osbaldistone H a l l : that he was a rigid Roman Catholic, and had formerly been tried and condemned for high treason ; but he made his escape to France, and a report of his death was circulated, which every one believed, until he returned to Britain as the agent of King James: that Rashleigh, being privy to Sir Frederick's concealment, kept poor Diana in awe lest he should betray him to government: that her father had solemnly engaged to Sir Hildebrand that she should either marry one of his sons or take the veil, and she had positively refused to marry any one of her cousins. The loss of Diana, together with the wresting of the property of Osbaldistone and Company from him, had so irritated Rashleigh, that he deserted the cause of the rebels, and turned informer. Frank having heard that Rashleigh was at M r Jobson's house, in the neighbourhood, he, next morning, accompanied by Andrew Fairservice, directed his course to Osbaldistone Hall; and on drawing near it, the recollection that all its late inhabitants were buried in the grave, excited in his mind those melancholy feelings which local associations leave of those who are no more. When they reached the Hall, Andrew knocked loudly at the door, at which the aged butler, appeared, and inquired their business. �23 Frank having explained to him the purport of Sir Hildebrand's will, and his own right to inherit the property and mansion-house of Osbaldistone Hall, the old man admitted them, though with apparent reluctance. The butler asked where his honour would please to have a fire lighted and Frank requested it might be put on in the library; but he made many excuses, that the room smoked, and that the daws had built up the chimney, in order to deter him from going. However, Frank insisted on being instantly shewn there, and the butler was forced to comply with his orders. On entering the library, Frank was not a little astonished at finding a good fire, and every thing having the appearance of being lately occupied ; but, anxious to enjoy his own reflections, he desired the land-steward to be called, and the butler, with evident reluctance, withdrew to execute his orders. As Frank knew of Rashleigh being in the neighbourhood, and that he was capable of any desperate action, he made Andrew Fairservice bring two stout fellows to guard the premises. After convincing the steward, who had come immediately on receiving the summons, of the validity of his titles to the property, Frank, being left alone, sat down by the fire, and, in a reverie, uttered these words: " Is this, then, the progress and issue of human wishes ? " H e had scarcely finished these words, when a issued from the other side of the room, and Diana Vernon presented herself, leaning on her father's arm. Frank was almost petrified with terror, as he believed them to be phantoms of his own imagination, till Sir Frederick Vernon accosted him, and begged he might protect them from the imminent danger that threatened them. Frank replied, with great emotion, that he could never forget their kindness in recovering his father's property, and that no exertions would be wanting on his part to provide for their safety. Sir Frederick now explained the causes of his present situation ; that he had joined the Earl of Mar in Scotland to support King James ; that he had afterwards followed Lord Derwentwater into England; that, after the defeat at Preston, he had retired northward, and taken refuge at Osbaldistone Hall, till a trusty friend should find a vessel to convey them to France. Sir Frederick then expatiated on his daughter's virtues ; and having declared his intention to devote her to the service of her Maker, he withdrew along with her behind the tapestry. After their departure, Frank fell into a long train of painful reflections; at one time accusing Sir Frederick for his bigotry, at another time Diana for yielding to his wishes; and, last of all, himself for loving one who seemed determined not to become his wife. In such a state of mind he could not sleep; and in the middle of the night was alarmed by a loud knocking at the door. This was occasioned by Justice Standish, who came with a warrant �24 to apprehend Sir Frederick Vernon, Diana, and Frank himself, for high treason. Frank having learned this intelligence, informed Sir Frederick and his daughter, for whom he procured the key of the garden, where they might hide themselves. "But Rashleigh had observed their movements, and soon brought them back into the house, where he also found Frank, who, he said, must instantly quit Osbaldistone Hall, as he had come to take possession of it. Rashleigh also told them, that he would convey them away in his carriage to a place of safety; and, in the meantime, dismissed Andrew Fairservice, to get rid of his blustering noise. Andrew strolled up the avenue in search of a night's quarters from an old acquaintance, when he fell in with a number of Highlanders, who obliged him to tell them the late transactions at Osbaldistone Hall. W h e n they heard that a carriage was to carry away Diana, Sir Frederick, and Frank, they cut down trees, and laid across the road, to intercept its passage. W h e n the carriage, escorted by Rashleigh, had arrived at the place were the Highlanders were, some of his attendants dismounted to remove the trees, when a scuffle ensued betwixt the two parties. Rashleigh attacked the leader of the band, who wounded him severely; and, taking hold of him, asked if he would beg forgiveness. " N o , n e v e r ; " said Rashleigh; upon which his antagonist (who was Rob Roy) plunged his sword into his bowels. Rob then handed out Miss Vernon fromthecarriage, and conducted her and Sir Frederick into the forest, accompanied by his troop of Highlanders. Frank then directed his whole attention to Rashleigh, who was instantly conveyed by the carriage to Osbaldistone Hall, and placed in an easy chair till a surgeon should be sent for to dress his wounds. Rashleigh begged that they would save themselves the trouble, as he was a dying man; and, addressing Frank, declared, that he hated him, for having thwarted him in all his projects of love, ambition, and interest; and now that the estate would become his, " Take it," he said, " and may the curse of a dying man cleave to i t . " Shortly after, Rashleigh breathed his last. After the funeral obsequies were performed, Frank repaired to London, where he received a letter from Miss Vernon, informing him of their escape under the guidance of Macgregor, towards the west of Scotland, and their safe conveyance by a vessel to France, where she was placed in a convent. Frank now determined, if possible, to marry Miss Vernon; and having procured his father's consent to the match, he succeeded in gaining her affections, and making her his wife. They long lived happily together, a blessing to all the country round.

EDMOND'S, By W I L L I A M SECKER, LATE PREACHER OF THE GOSPEL. GENESIS ii. 1 8 . And the LORD GOD said. It is not good that the man should be alone ; I will make him an help meetforhim. GLASGOW PRINTED FOR THE BOOKSELLERS, 63 ��k WEDDING-RING, FIT FOR THE FINGER. A SERMON ON GENESIS i i . 1 8 . And the Lord God said, it is not good that the man should be alone : I will make him a help-meet for him. HUMAN misery is to divine mercy, as a black soil to a sparkling diamond ; or as a sable cloud to the sun-beams, Psalm viii. 4.—Lord, what is man, that thou art mindful of him ? Man is, in his creation, angelical; in hiscorruption,diabolical; in his translation, majestical. There were four silver channels in which the chrystal streams of God's affection ran to man in hs creation. 1- In his preparation. 2. In his Assimilation, 3 - In his coronation. 4. In his Association. 1- In his preparation. Other creatures received tne character of their beings by a simple fiat; but There was a consultation at his forming ; not for the difficulty, but for the dignity of the work. �4 The painter is most studious about that which he intends to make his master-piece. The four the perfection of man's complexion : the fire was purified, the earth was refined. When man was moulded, heaven and earth was married ; a body from the one was espoused to a soul from the other. 2. In his assimilation. Other creatures were made like themselves, but man was made like God, as the wax hath the impression of the seal upon it. It is admirable to behold so fair a picture in such coarse canvas, and so bright a character in so brown paper. 3. In his coronation. He that made man, and all the rest, made man over all the rest; lie was a little lord of a great lordship : this king was crowned in his craddle. 4. In his association. Society is the solace of humanity ; the world would be a desert, without a comfort. Most of man's parts are made in pairs; now lie that was double in his perfection, must not be single in his condition. And the Lord said, These words are like the iron gate that opened to Peter of its own accord, dividing themselves into three parts : — 1. A n Introduction : And the Lord God said2. A n Assertion : It is not good that man should he alone. 3. A Determination: I will make an J« help-meet for him. ' In the first there is a majesty proposed. In the second there is a malady presented. In the third there is a remedy provided. Once more let me put these grapes into the press. 1. The sovereignness of the expression: And the Lord God said. 2. The solitariness of trie elements �condition: It is not good, 3. The suitableness of the provision ; I will make, &c In the first there is the worth of veracity. In the second, there is the want of society. In the third, there is the work of divinity. Of these in their order. And first of the first. 1. The sovereignness of the expression: And the Lord God said, Luke i. 70* " A s he spoke by the mouths of his prophets." In other scriptures he used their mouths, but in this instance he makes use of his own ; they were the organs, and he the breath ; they the streams, and he the fountain. How he spake, it is hard to determine: whether eternally, internally, or externally. We are not to inquire into the manner of speaking, but into the matter that is spoken; which leads me, like a directing star, from the suburbs to the city, from the porch to the palace, from the founder of the mine, to the treasure that is in it: It is not good, <fac. In which we have two things:— 1. The Subject. 2. The Predicate. The subject, Man alone. The predicate, It is not good, &c. 1. The subject, Man alone. Take this in two branches. 1. As it is limited to one man. 2. As it is lengthened to all men. FIRST, A s i t is l i m i t e d t o o n e m a n : A n d so it is taken particularly: Man, for the first man. When all other creatures had their mates, Adam wanted his ; though he was the emperor of the earth, and the admiral of the seas, yet in Paradise without a companion; though he was truly happy, yet he was not fully happy; though he had enough for his board, yet he had not enough for his bed ; though he had many creatures to serve him, yet �6 he wanted a creature to solace him ; when he was compounded in creation, he must be completed by conjunction ; when he had no sin to hurt him, then he must have a wife to help h i m : It is not good that man should be alone. SECONDLY, A S it is lengthened to all men: And so it is taken universally, Heb. xiii. 4. Marriage is honourable unto all. It is not only warrantable, but honourable. The whole trinity hath conspired together to set a crown of glory upon the head of matrimony. 1. God the Father. Marriage was a tree planted within the walls of Paradise ; the flower first grew in God's garden. 2. The Son. Marriage is a crystal glass, wherein Christ and the saints do see each other's faces. 3. The Holy Ghost, by his overshadowing of the blessed virgin. Well might the world when it saw her pregnancy, suspect her virginity ; but hermatrem without this, her innocency had not prevented her infamy; she needed a shield to defend that chastity abroad which was kept inviolable at home. Too many that have not worth enough to their unchastity; turning the medicine of frailty into the mantle of filthiness. Certainly she is mad that cuts off her leg to get her a crutch; or that venoms her face to wear a mask. Paul makes it one of the characters of those that should cherish the faith, 1 Tim. iv. 3. not to forbear marriage; which is not only lawful but also honourable ; to forbid which, is damnally sinful, and only taught by the influence of devils. One of the Popes of Rome sprinkles this unholy and impure drop upon it, Carnis pollutionem et immundiliem. preserve �7 * ft It is strange that should be a pollution which was instituted before corruption ; or that impurity which was ordained in the state of innocency; or that they should make that to be a sin, which they make to be a sacrament; strange stupidity ! — But a bastard may be laid at the door of chastity, and a leaden crown set upon a golden head. Bellararine (that mighty atlas of the Papal p blows his stinking breath upon i t : "Better were it for a priest to defile himself with many harlots, than to be married to one wife/'—These children of the purple whore prefer monasteries before marriages, a concubine before a compa too many women for their lusts, to choose any for their love.—Their tables are so largely spread that they cannot feed upon one dish. As for their exalting of a virgin-state, it is knows not, that virginity is a pearl of a sparkling lustre ? but the one cannot be set up, without the other be thrown down : No oblation will pacify the former, but the demolishing of the latter. Though find many enemies to the choice of marriage, it it is rare to find any enemies to the use of marriage. They would pick the lock that wants the key, and pluck the fruit that do not plant the tree. The Hebrews have a saying, " that he is not a man that hath not a wife." Though they too high a bough, yet it is to be feared that suchfleshis full of imperfection, that is, not tending to propogation : though man alone m a y b e good, yet, It is not good that man should be alone. Which leads me from the subject to the predicate, It is not good. J Now, it is not good that man should be in a single condition on a threefold consideration. �1 In prevented: Marriage is like water, to quench the sparks of lust's fire, 1 Cor. vii. 2. Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, Man needed no such physic when he was in perfect health. Temptations may break nature's best sense, and lay its Paradise waste ; but a single life is a prison of unruly desires, which is daily attempted to be broken open. Some, indeed force themselves to a single life, merely to avoid the charges of a married state ; they choose rather to live in their own sensuality, than to extinguish those flames with an allowed remedy : It is better to marry than to burn :—to be lawfully coupled, than to be lustfully scorched. It is best to feed these flames with ordinate fuel, 2 It is not good in respect of mankind, which then would not be propagated. The Roman historian, relat excused them thus, 4 Without them mankind would fall from the earth, and perish.' Marriages do turn mutability into the image of eternity: springs up new buds when the old are withered. It is a great honour for a man to be the father of one son, than to be the master of many servants. Without a wife, children cannot be had lawfully-' without a good wife, children cannot be had comfortably. being grafted in marriage, are trees bearing fruit to the world. Augustine says, 4 They are the first link* of human society, to which all the rest are joined. Mankind had long ago decayed, and been like a taper fallen into the socket, if those breaches which f are made by mortality were not repaired by matrimony. 3. I t is not good in regard of the church, which �could not then have been expatiated. Where there is no generation, there can be no regeneration. Nature makes us creatures before grace makes us christians. If the loins of men had been less fruitful, the death of Christ would have been less successful. It was a witty question that one put to him that said,« 4 Marriage fills the earth, but virginity fills the h e a v e n s H o w can the h if the earth be empty ? Had Adam lived in innocency without matrimony, there would no servants of God in the church militant, nor no saints with God in the church triumphant. But I will not sink this vessel by the over-burthen of it, nor press this truth to death by laying too great a load upon its shoulders. There is one knot which I must untie, before I make a farther progress, viz. 1 Cor. vii. 1. It is good for a man not to touch a woman. Do all the scriptures proceed out of the same mouth ; and do they not all speak the same truth ? The God of unity will not indite discord ; and the God of verity cannot assert falsehood. If good and evil be contraries, how contrary then are these two scriptures ? Either Moses mistakes God, orpaulmistakes Moses, about the point of marriage. There is a public and a private good. In Aspect of one man, it may be good not to touch a woman ; but in respect of all men, It is not good thatmanshould be alone. 2 Moses speaks of the state of man created ; Paul of the state of man corrupted : Now, that wich by institution was a mercy, by corruption may become a misery ; as pure water is tainted by running through a miry channel, or as the sunbeams coloured glass. There is no print of evil in the To receive a tincture by shining �10 world, but sin was the stamp that made it, They that seek nothing but weal in its commission, will find nothing but woe in the conclusion. Which leads me from the solitariness of the condition, Man alone, to the suitableness of the provision, I will make an help-meet for him. In which we have two parts, 1. The Agent, I will make. 2. The Object, An help. 1. The Agent, I will make. W e cannot build a house without tools, but the Trinity is at liberty. T o God's omniscience there is nothing impossible. W e work by hands, without; but he works without makes a meet-help for man. Marriages are consented Though man wants supply, yet man cannot supply his wants, James i. 17. Every good and perfect gift comes from above, A wife, though she be not a perfect gift, yet she is a good gift. These beams are darted from the Son of Righteousness. Hast thou a soft heart ? It is of God's breaking. Hast thou a sweet wife ? She is of God's making. Let me draw up this with double application. 1. When thou layest out for such a good on earth, look up to the God of heaven ; let him make thy choice for thee, who made his choice of thee. Look above you, before you, about you ; nothing makes up the happiness of a married condition, like the holiness of a mortified disposition : account not those the most worthy, that are the most wealthy. Art thou matched to the Lord ? Match in the Lord. How happy are such marriages where Christ is at the wedding! Let none but those who have found favour in God's eyes, find favour in yours. .11 2. Give God the tribute of your gratulation for �11 your good companions. Take head of paying you* rent to a wrong landlord: when you taste of the stream, reflect upon the spring that feeds it. NOT* thou hast four eyes for thy speculation, four hands for thy operation, four feet for thy abulation, and four shoulders for thy sustentation. What the sin against the Holy Ghost is, in point of divinity, that is unthankfulness, in point of morality, an offence unpardonable. Pity it is, but that moon should be ever in an eclipse, that will not acknowledge that praises not the giver, prizes not the gift. And so I pass from the Agent to the Object, A help. She must be so much, and no less ; and so much, and no more. Our ribs were not ordained to be our rulers. They are not made of the head, to claim superiority; but out of the side, to be content nature, who invert the order of nature. The woman was made for the man's comfort, but the man was not made for the woman's command. Those Shoulders aspire too high, that content not themselves with a room below their heads. It is between a man and his wife in the house, as it is between the sun and the moon in the heavens, when the greater light goes down the lesser light gets up ; when the one ends in setting, the other begins in shining. The wife may be a sovereign in her husband's absence, but she must be subject in her husband's presence. As Pharaoh said to Joseph, so should the husband say to his wife, u thou shalt be over my house, and according t 0 thy word shall all my people be ruled, only on the throne will I be greater than thou," Gen. xli, 40. The body of that household can never make any good motion, whose bones are out of place her beams to be borrowed fro with equality. The �12 The woman must he a help to the man in these four things :—1. To his piety. 2. To his society. 3. To his progeny. 4. To his prosperity. To his piety, by the ferventness of her excitation. To his society, by the fragrantness of her conversation. To his progeny, by the fruitfulness of her education, To his prosperity, by her faithful preservation. 1. To his piety, by the ferventness of her excitatio as the two milch-kine, which were coupled together to carry the ark of God ; or as the two cherubims, that looked one upon another, and both upon the mercy-seat; or as the two tables of stone, on each of which were engraven the laws of God. In some families married persons are like Jeremiah's two basket of figs, the one very good, the other very evil; or like fire and water, whilst the one is flaming in devotion, the other is freezing in corruption. 1. On the right side. 2. On the left. On the right side ; when the wife would run in God's way, the husband will not let her go ; when the forehorse in a team will not draw, he wrongs all the rest; when the general of an army forbids a march, all the soldiers stand still. Sometimes on the left: How did Solomon's idolatrous wife draw away his heart from heaven ? A sinning wife was Satan's first ladder, by which he scaled the wall of Paradise, from him. Thus she, that should have been the help of his flesh, was the hurt of his faith ; his nature's under-proper, became his grace's underminer head, is a cross on the shoulders. The wife is often to the husband as the ivy is to the oak, which draws away his sop from him. �13 2. A help to his society, by the fragrantness of her conversation. Man is an affectionate creature ; now the woman's behaviour should be such towards the man, as to requite his affection by increasing his delectation; that the new-born love may not be ruined before it be rooted. A spouse should carry herself so to her husband, as not to disturb his love by her contention, nor to destroy his love by her alineation. Husband and wife should be like two candles burning together, which makes the house more lightsome ; or like two fragrant flowers bound up in one nosegay, that augments its sweetness : or like two well-tuned instruments, which sounding together, make the more melodious music. Husband and wife, what are they but as two springs meeting, and so joining their streams, that they make but one current? It is an unpleasing conjunction. 3. To his progeny, by the fruitfulness of her education ; that so her children in the flesh may be God's children in the spirit, 1 Sam. i. 11. Hannah she vows, if the Lord will give her a son, she would give him to the Lord, to serve him. A spouse should be more careful of her children's breeding, than she should be fearful of her children's in the devil's garden.—Though you bring them out in corruption, yet do not bring them up to damnation whilst they should be teaching their children the way to heaven with their lips, are leading them the way to hell with their lives. Good education is the best livery you can give them living; and it is the best legacy you can leave them dying. You let out your cares to make them great, 0 lift up spectacle to view any contentio bearing. Take heed, lest these !—Those are not mothers but m �14 your prayers to make them good, that before you die from them, you may see Christ live in them. Whilst these twigs are green and tender, they should be bowed towards God. Children and servants are in a family, as passengers in a boat; husband and wife, they are as a pair of oars, to row them to their desired haven. Let these small pieces of timber be hewed and squared for the celestial building. By putting a sceptre of grace into their hands, you will set a crown of glory upon their heads. 4. A help to his prosperity, by her faithfulpreserv at home. One of the ancients speaks excellently : She must not be a field-wife, like Dinah ; nor a street wife, like Tbamar ; nor a window-wife, like Jezabel. Phildeas, when he drew a woman, painted her under a snail-shell; that she might imitate that little creature, that goes no further than it can carry its house upon its head. How many women are there, that are not labouring bees, but idle drones ; that take up a room in the hive, but bring no honey to i t ; that are moths to their husbands' estates, spending when they should be 'sparing. As the man's part is, to provide industriously, so the woman's is, to preserve discreetly ; the one must not be carelessly wanting, the other must not be causelessly wanting ; the man must be seeking with diligence, the woman must be saving with prudence. The cock and hen both scrape together in the dust-heap, to pick up something for the little chickens. To wind up this on a short bottom, 1. If the woman be a not the man cast dirt on Secundus being asked said, Viri naufraghm, help to the man, then let the woman. his opinion of a woman, domus tempestas, quietus �15 impedirhentum„ &c. But surely he was a monster and not a man ; fitter for a tomb to bury him, than a womb to bear him. Some have styled them to be like clouds in the sky ; like motes in the sun ; like snuffs in the candle; like weeds in the garden. But it is not good to play the butcher with that naked sex, that hath no arms but for embraces, A preacher should not be silent for those who are silent from preaching : because they are the weaker vessels, shall they be broken all to pieces ? Thou that sayest women are evil, it may be thy expression flows from thy experience ; but I shall never take that mariner for my pilot, that hath no better knowledge than the splitting of his own ship. Wilt thou condemn the frame of all, for the fault of one ? As if it were true logic, hath ill eyes that disdains all objects. To blast thy helper is to blame thy Maker. In a word, we took our rise from their bowels, and may take our rest in their bosoms. because some are evil therefo 2. Is the woman to be a help to the man ? Then let the man be a help to the woman. What makes some debtors to be such ill pay-masters, but because they look at what is owing to them, but not at what is owing by them. If thou wouldst have thy wife's reverence, let her have thy respect. To force a tear from this relation, is that which neither benefits the husband's authority to enjoin, nor the wif not be sharply driven, but sweetly drawn. Compassion may bend her, but compulsion her. Husband and wife should act towards each other with consent, not by constraint. There are four things wherein the husband is a meet-help to the wife. �16 1. In his protection of her from injuries. It is well observed by one, that the rib of which woman was made, was taken from under his arm : As the use of the arm is to keep off blows from the body, so the office of the husband is to ward off blows from the wife. The wife is the husband's treasury, and the husband the wife's armoury. In darkness he should be her sun, for direction ; in danger he should be her shield for protection. 2. In his providing for her necessities. The husband must communicate maintenance to the wife, as the head conveys influence to the members; thou must not be a drone, and she a drudge. A man in a married estate, is like a chamberlain in an inn, there is knocking for him in every room. Many persons in that condition, waste that estate in luxury, which should supply their wife's necessity; They have neither the faith of a Christian, nor the love of a husband! It is a sad spectacle to see a virgin sold with her own money unto slavery, when services are better than marriages ; the one 3. In his covering of her infirmities. Who would trample upon a jewel, because it is fallen in the dirt, or throw away a heap of wheat for a little chaff, or despise a golden wedge, because it retains some dross ? These roses have some prickles. Now husbands should spread a mantle of charity over their wives' infirmities. They be ill birds that defile their own nests. It is a great deal better you should fast than feast yourselves upon their failings. Some husbands are never well longer than they are holding their fingers in their wife's sores. Such are like crows, that fasten only upon carrion. Do not put out the candle because of the snuff. Husbands and wives should provoke one receives �17 another to love ; and they should love one-another notwithstanding of provocation. Take heed of poisoning those springs from whence the streams of your pleasure flow. 4. By his delighting in her society : a wife takes sanctuary not only in her husband's house, but in his heart. The tree of love should grow up in the family, as the tree of life grew up in the garden of Eden. They that choose their love, should love their choice. They that marry where they affect not, will affect where they marry not. Two joined together without love, are but tied together to make one another miserable. And so I pass to the last stage of the text, A help-meet. 'A help,' there is her fallness ; 4 A meet-help/ there is her fitness. The angels were too much above him ; the inferior creatures too much below him ; he could not step up to the former, nor could he stoop down to the latter; the one was out of his reach, the other was out of his race ; but the woman is a parallel line drawn equal with him. Meet she must be in three things. 1. In the harmony of her disposition. Husband and wife should be like the image in a looking, glass, that answers in all properties to the face that stands before i t ; or like an echo, that returneth the voice it receiveth. Many marriages are like putting new wine into old bottles. An old man is not a meet-help for a young woman : He that sets a grey head upon green shoulders, hath one foot in the grave and another in the cradle : Yet, how many times do you see the spring of youth wedded to the winter of old age ?—A young man is not a meet-help for an old woman ; raw flesh is but an ill plaister for rotten bones. He that in his non-age marries another in her dotage, his lust hath one wife �18 in possession, but his love another in reversion. 2. In heraldry of her condition. Some of our European nations are so strict in their junctions, that it is against their laws for the commonality to couple with the gentry. It was well said by one, <4 If the wife be too much above her husband, she j either ruins him by her vast expenses, or reviles him with her base reproaches; if she be too much below her husband, either her former condition makes her too generous, or her present mutation makes her too imperious.''—Marriages are styled matches, yet amongst those many that are married, how few are there that are matched ! Husbands and wives are like locks and keys, that rather break than open, except the wards be answerable. 3. In the holiness of her religion. If adultery may seperate a marriage contracted, idolatry may hinder a marriage not perfected. Cattle of divers kinds were not to ingender, 2 Cor. vi. 14. Be not unequally yoked, <&c. It is dangerous taking her for a wife, who will not take God for a husband. It is not meet that one flesh should be of two spirits. Is there never a tree thou likest in the garden but that which bears forbidden fruit ? There are but two channels in which the remaining streams shall run :—1. To those men that want wives, how to choose them. 2. To those women who have husbands, how to use them. Marriage is the tying of such a knot, that nothing but death can unloose. Common reason suggests so much, that we should be long a-doing that which can but once be done. Where one design hath been graveled in the sands of delay, thous precipitance. Rash adventures yield gain. Opportunities are not li �19 another returns; but yet take heed of flying without your wings ; you may breed such agues in your bones, that may shake you to your graves. 1. Let me preserve you from a bad choice. 2. Present you with a good one. To preserve you from a bad choice, take that in three things: Choose not for beauty. 2. Choose not for dowry. 3. Choose not for dignity. He that loves to beauty, buys a picture ; he that loves for dowry, makes a purchase ; he that leaps for dignity, matches with a multitude at once. The first of these is too blind to be directed ; the second too base to be accepted ; the third too bold to be respected. 1. Choose not by your eyes. 2. Choose not by your hands. 3. Choose not by your ears. 1. Choose not by your eyes, looking at the beauty of the person. Not but this is lovely in a woman ; but that this is not all for which a woman should be beloved. He that had the choice of many faces stamps this character upon them all, favour is deceitful arid beauty is vain. The sun is more bright in a clear sky, than when the horizon is clouded; but if a woman's flesh hath more of beauty than her spirit hath of Christianity, it is like poison in sweet-meats, most dangerous : 4 4 The sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were fair," Gen. vi. 2. One would have thought that they should rather have looked for grace in the heart, than for beauty in the face : take care of running at the fairest signs ; the swan hath black flesh under her white feathers. 2. Choose not by your hands, for the bounty of the portion. When Cato's daughter was asked why she did not marry ? she thus replied, she could not find the man that loved her person above her portion. Men love curious pictures, but they �20 would have them set in golden frames. Some are so degenerate as to think any good enough, who have but goods enough. Take heed, for sometimes the bag and baggage go together. The person should be a figure, and the portion a cypher, which added to her, advances the sum, but alone signifies nothing. When Themistocles was to marry his daughter, two suitors courted her together, the one rich and a fool, the other wise but poor ; and being asked which of the two he had rather his daughter should have ? he answered Mallem virum fine vecuni : ' I had rather she should have a man without money, than money without a m a n / 2. Choose not by your ears, for the dignity of her parentage. A good old stock may nourish a fruitless branch. There are many children who are not the blessings, but the blemishes of their parents ; they are nobly descended, but ignobly minded : Such was Aurelius Antonious, of whom it was said, that he injured his country of nothing, but being the father of such a child. There are many low in their descents, that are high in their deserts ; such as the cobler's son, who became a famous captain ; when a great person upbraided the meanness of his original, " My nobility, said he, began with me, but thy nobility ends with thee." Piety is a greater honour than parentage. She is the best gentlewoman that is heir of her own deserts, and not the degenerate offspring of another's virtue. To present you with a good choice in three things. 1. Choose such a one as will be a subject to your dominion. Take heed of yoking yourselves with untamed heifers. 2. Choose such a one as may sympathize with you in your affliction. Marriage is just like a sea �21 voyage, he that enters into this ship, must look to meet with storms and tempests, 1 Cor. vii. 20. They that marry shall have trouble in the flesh flesh and trouble are married together, whether we marry or no ; now a bitter cup is too much to be drunk by one mouth. A heavy burthen is easily carried by assistance of other shoulders. Husband and wife should neither be proud flesh, nor dead flesh. You are fellow-members, therefore you should have a fellow-feeling. While one stands safe on the shore, pity should be shown to him that is toast on the sea. Sympathy in suffering is like a dry house in a wet day. 3. Choose such a one as may be serviceable to your salvation. A man may think he hath a saint, when he hath a devil; but take heed of a harlot, that is false to thy bed ; and of a hypocrite, that is false to thy God. 2. To those women who have husbands, how to use them. In two things. 1. Carry yourselves towards them with obedience. Let their power command you, that their praise may commend you. Though you may have your husband's heart, yet you should love his will Till the husband leaves commanding, the wife must never leave obeying. As his injunctions must be lawful, so her subjection must be loyal. 2. With faithfulness. In creation, God made not woman for many men, or many women for one man. Every wife should be to her husband as Eve was to Adam, a whole world of women ; and every husband should be to his wife as Adam was to Eve, a whole world of men. When a river is To conclude, Good servants are a great blessing ; good children a greater blessing ; but a good wife divided into many ch �22 is the greatest blessing : And such a help let him seek for her that wants one, let him sigh for her that hath lost one, let him take pleasure in her that enjoys one. Where there is nothing but a picture of virtue, or a few shadowy qualities that may subsist without any real excellency, death will hide them for ever in the night of despair. The blackness of darkness will close upon the naked and wandering ghost; whilst its loathsome remains are consigned to oblivion and putrefaction in the prison of the grave, with the prospect of a worse doom hereafter. But where there is a living image of true goodness begun in this state, death will deliver it with safety into the finishing hand of eternity, to be produced with every mark of honour in the open view of heaven ; where its now mortal partner, rescued from the dishonours of the dust, and brightened into the graces of eternal youth, shall rejoin it in triumph, to suffer the pangs of separation no more. EVERLASTING JEHOVAH ! what a crown of joy will it confer on the preacher in that day, if this little service shall be rewarded with the reflection of having contributed to the salvation or improvement addresses ! If ever thine ear was open to my cry, hear me* O Lord! hear me in their behalf. What cannot thy spirit perform, perform by the weakest hand ? May that spirit seal them to the day of redemption. At that glorious period, may I meet you all amongst the redeemed of the Lord, happy to see you shining with immortal splendour in the general assembly and church of the first born, transported to think that I shall live with you for ever, and joining in the granulations of your fellow �23 in the sight of all, clothe you with the garment of salvation, and cover you with the robe of righteousness, and as a bride is adorned with her Jewels. Amen LADY as a bridegroom is decked FRETFUL, A SKETCH FROM REAL LIFE. HER general style of conversation runs on the inconveniences to be expected from this or that circumstance, and no one is so ingenious in extracting unsuspected evil from plans of the fai promise. Is the weather fine, and a walk mentioned—It is hot—it is dusty—the wind east—there was rain in the morning—it will be dirty—or it will rain before we reach home. Is she to go out in the carriage ; one road is too long the horses—another is unpleasant—another unsafe—and, in short, none are exactly right. yet she goes on these proposed expeditions, after all possibility of pleasure has been reasoned and anticipated away. If she is going out to dinner, is sure the company will be unpleasant—the servants will get drunk—she shall be robbed, or overturned in coming home. If she is to have a at home, she knows every thing will go nobody will be amusing—the time will heavy—the people will go away, execrating t employed he stupidity of the visit. If she sees any lady about a piece of work, she prognosticates �24 it will be unfashionable before it is finished. I she sees any one reading, she never new any good come of reading, but to make young people unfit for conversation. If her husband is going a goes for a ride, she is surprised he can take pleasure in sitting on his horse for hours together. If he is in his library, she never saw such a book-worm. If he sits in the parlour, she hates men always at their wive's apron strings. Thus does she sour every common occurance of life by the most in genious optical delusion, looking at every thing in the worst point of view. hun What absurdity to imbitter one's alloted portion of happiness by so obstinately persisting toanti think fair appearances promise fair conclusions ? Why, if the sun shines in the morning, be unwilling to enjoy it then ? And, if it rains, why not be always inclined to hope the weather will brighten ? � https://scottishchapbooks.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/5a5e05ef37ff972c650d66538ff44477.jpg 9cf91e947214d011b0436cc9970a7137 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.
