IT is to be observed, that the Scrijjfciiro makes mention of three Judases ; the first is Judas Maccabeus * the second Judas the son of Jo^fcph, the reputed father of our Lord; and third, Judas Iscariot, thb son of a Tanner, living in depute M Joppa, or Japho, a beautiful sea-port on the west of Oanaail, about thirty-four miles North ivest of Jertisal^ ftoni i i was as it stood o n h i l l amidst a jfl&ih.

At present, and for ages past, it hath but a bad harbour, and is remarkable for nothing biit ruinous remains of antiquity. This1' Judas who betrayed our Lord, was his mother's first child, who dream ed that the child in her womb would prove both a thief and a murderer, and bring her and her generation to shame and disgrace : which so terrified her, that she was like to go distracted ; but her husband strove) to pacify her, bidding "her leave it to God the �4 wise disposer of all things, who may take it away in its infancy or endue it with more grace than ever to be guilty of such dishonourable actions.— This somewhat quieted her, and she was soon after delivered of a lovely male child; but under his left breast was the following curious marks viz. a cross, a gallows, twp daggers, and several pieces of money : this likewise terrified his mother, who concealed it from her husband, determining, as soon as she was able, to go to a magician and know the signification of these surprising marks. The child being circumcised, and she purified, according to the old Jewish custom, she dressed herself in disguise, put a veil on her face, and taking with her a kinswoman, went to the magician's, and being introduced to him, she related her dream, her fears and the marks ifpon her son, desiring the interpretation of the dream, and the signification of the marks. The magician replied, I am no interpreter of dreams, neither do I justly know the signification of marks ; and the whole of your story appears as strange to me, as it can be amazing to you ; but if you can tell me when the child was born, I will calculate its nativity, and see what it pretends. He then called for pen, ink, and paper, and sitting down, calculated his nativity ; and when he had finished it, he shook his head, and his countenance waxed pale ; which being perceived by Judass mother, she said unto him, do not deceive me, but tell me true, hide nothing from me, whether it be good or evil.—Then, said the magician, to your sorrow, I have seen the rules of the planet that reigned predominant at your son's birth, that he would prove a thief and a murderer, and what is worse, he will, for lucre, betray the Lord of Life ; for which act he will afterwards despair of mercy, lay violent hands on himself, and �5 come to a shameful end.—These words pierced the mother's heart, who wringing her hands, wished she had never been born, rather than to have been the mother of such an unhappy child; and asked the magician what she could do to prevent the bringing of shame or disgrace on her family ? He told her he knew no way of prevention, but by laying violent hands on it, which might be now easily done in its infancy and in a manner so as not to be discovered. To this she replied, that she would not for ten thousand worlds commit such an act of violence on her son ; for if her husband had the least suspicion of it, he was so fond of Judas, that he would never be reconciled to her any more ; yet for the sake of her family, she would by some means or other prevent it without destroying it; and then told the magician, that if she had a small boat made like a shell, with a cover to go down close that no water might get in, and a little vent to let in air at the top, and room in it to lie soft and easy, she might without danger send him down the river Jordan, and so commit him wholly to the protection of providence, which might conduct him to some distant shore, into the hands of some tender persons, and thereby preserve his life ; and if he afterwards commits those base actions the shame will fall on his own head, as no one will know from whom he is descended. The magician highly commended her for her invention, and said he would procure such a boat for her ; and-she promising him a good reward for his assistance, returned home. After she was gone, the magician sent for one Rot, a very cunning Artist, a Joiner bv trade, who undertook to make the boat, drawing out with his pencil, the form of it, carried it home with him, wrought upon it in private, and having soon finished it, brought it to the magician's house, �6 who paid him largely for it, and sent a semnt to the house of Simon, who told Judas's mother, that the matter which his master and she spoke of was now finished. She understanding him, went next morning to the magician's house, viewed the boat, and liked it well, saying it was very convenient for the end intended, but seemed perplexed how she should do it privately, and keep it from -discovery, as death was the consequence thereof. Her kinswoman begged her to leave that -to her, and all should be safe enough ; for we will feign the child sick for a day or two, in the meantime we will make some inquiry in the city for the dead body of some poor male child which we will buy of its parents, and have it privately brought to our house to be buried ; in the meantime we wffl dispatch your son to sea, and make him believe the other child to be his, and that he died during his absence ; so having it buried, the matter can never be brought to light. The mother liked the contrivance, and going home with a promise af a g^eat reward, and her friendship lor life, she swore her servants to secrecy, and then said she, we must- act in this manner. When your master comes home at night, I shall put on very dejected looks, and when he asks the cause, I shall tell him that Judas is not well, and that I am apprehensive of his death, which you must all testify and confirm. She accordingly put this scheme into practice at night, when flier husband did all he could to comfort her, telling her that they were young, they might, be parents of many children : and going up stairs to see the child, the maid then pinched its neck till it was black in the face, and thinking it in convulsions, gjave it over 'o death, As soon -as he was gone out in the morning, the mother and kinswoman took the child �and went to the magician's house, in order to put the child to sea. They put on him many warm and rich garments, with an upper coat of oil, that no water might penetrate it; and the magician, on a piece of parchment, wrote the following words: MY NAME IS JUI)AS. which his mother sewed round his neck and pu^ him into the boat, and shutdown the coyer. At parting with the child the mother was almost distracted, wringing her hands and keeping bitterly, but being comforted by the magician, and her kinswoman she was at last pacified, and desired to go home, as she could not bear to see the child put into the water, so she and her kinswoman departed home. The magician then took the boat -and carried it down to his own garden, at thp foot of which ran the river Jordan, and putting it in where a strong stream ran, it was soon carried out of sight. The mother when she got Jiorne fainted away, but was revived by being informed by her maidservant, that during her absence, they had almost brought the matter to a close, having found a neighbour's male 6hild, who had died the day before, and was just of the same.age as Judas, for whose body they had given the parents a small sum of ;moneyf and paid the expense of burying a coffin full of bones, by way of a blind : and the only thing that remained was to deceive her "husband, and get this phyd buried under the sanction of Judas's body. The father coming hon,ie at night, and finding his wife in tears, soon guessed the dismal pause ; and inquiring of the servants, they with dissembled grief informed him, that jthe child died in the morning soon after his departure.. The man was �8 much affected with the loss of his child, and thinking to prevent his wife's grief by the sight of the body he had it removed to a kinsman's house, and in a day or two interred it from thence, supposing it to be his son Judas. By this time Providence had conducted Judas, alive and well, unto the coast of Iscariot, a kingdom in Palestine, where Pheophilus the king often used to recreate himself, in beholding the ships pass and repass at sea. It happened that the very day that Judas was cast on the coast, the king and his nobles came on that diversion, and as they were standing on the top of the rock, looking into the sea, the king espied a little boat floating upon the water, and thinking it to be a chest of some wrecked ship, he ordered a servant to put out a boat and fetch it; which being done, and brought to the king, he ordered it to be broken open; when to their great surprise, they found a lovely babe, who look'd up, and smiled in the king's face. Then said the king to the child, icelcome as my own child ; and expressed much joy in being providentially sent to preserve the babe's life, and taking it up in his arms, said if thou wert a child begat by me, I could not esteem or value thee more. Then he espied about its neck the aforementioned parchment, viz: MY NAME IS JUDAS. Well, said the king, as thy name is Judas, I will now double name thee, and then called him Judas Iscariot, because he found him near the coast of that name. He was then brought to court, treated as the king's own child, and at a proper age educated well, and at last became a man of learning and �9 genius and behaved himself so wisely, that the king made him his principal steward. Judas being arrived at this rank, still coveted greater, and remembering the queen one day said, that if the prince, her son died, Judas should be her heir, he therefore set about contriving to kill him, accordingly he professed great love and friendship for him; and one day being walking together, Judas took occasion to quarrel with the prince, and maliciously slew him, thinking all would go well with him if he was dead. Behold the serpent, which the king Long nourished in his breast, Grown warm, strikes forth his baneful sting, And robb'd him of his rest. Though none accused him of the murder, yet his conscience so stung him, that he so#n quitted the kingdom, leaving all his pomp and finery behind him, and changing his name, took upon him the mean employ of a servant, wandering about from place to place, until at length he arrived at Joppa, the place of his nativity ; here he soon got a place in a nobleman's family, where he behaved so well as to gain the esteem of his lord and lady, and all that knew him. One day it happened that as his lady was walking abroad big with child, she longed for some fruit, which she saw in Judas's father's garden, bidding him go and buy her some. He took the money, but was resolved to steal the fruit; and going to the garden, broke down the fences, which as he was doing his father came out, and seized him for the robbery ; and Judas to extricate himself from the hand of justice murdered his father upon the spot, and immediately escaped to �10 about ; Theba, a city Seventy-mi leagties Here lie continued ftmr years, in which time the noise of the murder b&ing blown over, he returned back again, and got another place in a nobleman's family, where he lived sometime, till hi£ own mother accidentally seeing him fell in love with iand married j^ggn't bad %rmtaoTgoewolo*iq od '{Igmb-iooon tmirf About fivo yei&rs alfer they had boeil married, p.no morning in bed Judas -s shirt bosom lay open, ^hen she saw under his left breast the marks he was born with ; upon wliieh she waked Hftii in an agony, and told him the whole story of his birth, and the part she had acted therein. Judas heard this with wonder and astonishment, ancV on his part confessed to her the many crimes he had been guilty o f ; after which she desired him to depart from her, and seek mercy of God in another country ; protesting she would never be carnally known to him any gnuia oa soaoip&mb Judas full of grief and remorse of conscience, left Joppa, and wandered about like a pilgrim, till he heard of a mighty prophet, called Jesus of Nazareth, in the land of Judea, who wrought many miracles, and wonderful works; to hint he went, and liking his doctrine and seeing his miracles, he begged of our Lord to be admitted one of his followers: Our Saviour chose him to be one of his- disciples, and gave him the charge of what money or provision he carried about with him. There is no evidence that his rerligious instructions, or his preaching the word, or miracles, were inferior to those of his brethren: but covetousness still reigned in his heart. Notwithstanding all this Judas could not forget his covetousness, for when Mary Magdalene brought a box of costly ointment, to anoint our dear Lord's feet, at the house of Simon the Leper, Judas �11 Wghly offended {hereai, because the value thereof was not put into his bag. But our Lord knowing his covetous and wicked heart, sharply rebtiked him; at \VliicIi he was so enraged, that he fit revenge premeditated, and put into execution, the worst action of all his life, and going to the chief priests' and elders, he said unto them, what will you give me, and I will betray him they call Jesus into your hands ? And they agreed with hfan for thirty pieces of silver; or £3, 8s. 5d. English money. The love of money is a i-ock Which causes cafe and trouble, And he that hastetli to fee rich, He makes his sorrows double, Money's a most alluring bait, Conducive unto evil, For this base Judas sold his God, Himself unto the devil. When 6\\± Lord was instituting his last supper, he* £aidf unto his disciptfes, I have chosen you twelve, but one of you is a devil. And again, Verify I say urito you, one of yd* ttiis nio-ht shall betray me, and lie it is* unfo whomsoever I shall give a sop: then giving a sop tinto Jiiclas, he said unto him what tten' dost do quietly. With the sop the devil entered into Judas, and lie went out from amongst them.—cfect&s then went to tlie chief priests, and received tfie thirty pieces of silver ; so taking witli hint an armed band of men, to apprehend his master, He led them to the Garden, of Gethsemane Where Jesus was wont to retire for his devotion; he went telling them, thai! whomsoever he should �12 kiss, the same was he, hold him fast There our Lord beheld his adversaries coming with burning torches and lanterns, and weapons to apprehend him; then spake he to his disciples, and said, a Rise let us go ; behold Tie is at hand that will betray meAnd while he was speaking, came Judas the traitor, saying, Hail, Master, and kissed him. For it is written, that it was the manner and custom of our Lord Jesus towards his disciples, that when at any time he had sent them out, at their return again, he would receive them with a loving kiss. Then they laid hands on the Lord, and bound him as a thief and a murderer, and led him away to the high Priest and Elders, who asked him many questions ; to which our Lord gave them no answer, but stood like a lamb dumb before his shearers. And here let us behold our Lord Jesus, how patiently and meekly he receives that false and treacherous kiss from that unfaithful disciple, whose feet he had vouchsafed to wash with his own hands, and whom out of his unspeakable charity he refused not to feed with the precious food of his blessed oody. Consider likewise how meekly he suffered himself to be taken, bound, struck, and furiously dragged away, as if he had been a thief, or the most wicked person in the world, void of power to help himself. Contemplate also the great sorrow and inward affliction he had of his disciples, who fled and left him in the hands of those ravenous wolves. And on the other side, consider the grief of their hearts, since the cause of their leaving him was not the perversity of their will, but the frailty of their weak nature : for which they heartily mourn and sigh, like poor orphans that know not what they do, or whither to go ; and their sorrow was so much the greater, as they knew in what villanous man- �13 ner their Lord and master would be treated and abused. Nevertheless, the whole assembly, though they found nothing worthy of death in him, one by one passed the following sentences on him. tidi dleoijbde oil -ramrod Us'jb lo viU'iow n JERUSALEM'S BLACK T R I B U N A L ; ,eib 'woulw, siit > «iou 'io vJliiu) 1 OR THE BLOODY SENTENCE OF THE JEWS, AGAINST OUR BLESSED LORD JESUS AND SAVIOUR.

NOW JUDAS, the Traitor, had no sooner seen his master condemned by the Jewish council, than his conscience upbraided him ; he brought back the thirty pieces of silver, and confessed he had betrayed his innocent master. But the Jewish rulers replied, that that was none of their business, he might blame himself. And he threw back the thirty pieces of silver and went out and hanged himself; but the rope breaking, or the tree giving way, he fell and his body burst asunder, and his bowels gushed out. Then the Jews, as they thought the price of blood was not fit for the Treasury, they, as agents for Judas, gave it for the Potters-field to bury strangers in. �17 T W Judas 'mongst the Apostles was And with them took his part, His awful end proved him to be A traitor in his heart. On the Evening after our Lord's resurrection he appeared unto ten of the apostles, Judas being dead, and Thomas absent: he renewed their mission, and breathed on them, as a token of his sending the Holy Ghost. After giving them repeated proofs of his resurrection, he just before his ascension gave them a formal commission, saying, " Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: andy lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.11 After they had witnessed their master's departure to the heavenly mansions, Peter proposed, that one who had been a constant witness of his marvellous sufferings and conduct, should be chosen to fill the room of Judas. The disciples chose Barsabas and Matthias for the candidates. As the office was extraordinary, and perhaps the votes equal, the final determination, which of the two should be the apostle, was left to the decision of God by the lot. After prayer, the lots were cast, and it fell upon Matthias: he was therefore numbered with the eleven apostles. On the day of Pentecost, a feast appointed to commemorate the giving of the law, the Holy Ghost, in the shape of cloven tongues of fire, descended on each of them; rendered them bold and infallible in preaching the gospel; qualified them with power, to speak in every language, to discern men's tem- �lSf pers, and to confer the miraculous influence of speaking with tongues on others, by the laying on of hands. < J oi mid bovoiq bm lirhrs «iH M Learn hence a lot's a sacred thing, Let's not it vanity use, Since God thereby has oft thought fit, 9H no fo^j^qgrfft r, vainer!! mh nO ifflttd M f o l odi \o a9t otitis fctwqy Let's be content with what' s our lot, Since God to us it gave, Let's pray that Christ be the gift, Greater can't sinners have.

TOUCHING the wonderful ascension of our Lord Jesus, it behoves thee, pious reader, to awaken thy heart, and render thyself with more than ordinarly attention to all that is here said or done, relating to this subject, if thou desire to feed thy soul with heavenly comfort, and reap the spiritual ^notion, which plentifully flows from the devout contemplation of so divine a subject _ hfaorfa YQffa ffatforfi On the fortieth day after the resurrectiou, our Lord Jesus, knowing that his time was new come to depart from this world, and to pass hence to his Father, taking with him the holy patrian?hs, prophets, and others, who after his xesiu'iiefttion were in the terrestrial paradise, and blessjlng. Enoch and Elias, who remained there still aliye, he came to his apostles, who were gathered together on Mount Sion, which was the place F^pe be made his last supper the night before his passion. There were likewise with the apostles at this place, the Messed Virgin, and many other disciples; and our Lord appearing to :tliem said, that he would eat with them before he departed from them, as a special token and memorial of the love he tore them. And as they were all eating, bej.^g full of joy and spiritual comfort at this last refection of our Lord Jesus, lie said to them> " The time is now come in which I must return again to him that sent me: but you shall remain in the city till you are clothed with tlie yirtue descending from above ; for within �(Tf 20 a few days you shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, as I before promised you. After which, you shall be dispersed throughout the whole world, to preach my gospel, baptizing all that shall believe in me, so that you shall be my witnesses to the utmost confines of the earth." He likewise reproved them for their incredulity in not believing them who had seen him rise, that is the angels. This he chose to do at the time ho was speaking to them of preaching his gospel, to give them to understand, that they ought to have believed the angels, even before they saw him, much sooner than they ought to be believed by those to whom they were to preach, who, nevertheless, would believe them (the apostles) though they should not see him, (Jesus Christ.) And this he did, that by knowing their fault they might remain humble; shewing them at his departure how much he admired that virtue, and that he recommended it to them in a singular manner. They asked him concerning many things that wero to come to pass ; but he would not resolve them, inasmuch as it was not necessary for them to know the secrets of God, which his father had reserved in his own power, to fulfill at his o^n will and pleasure. And thus they continued discoursing and eating together, with great comfort and satisfaction, occasioned by the presence of their Lord; yet their comfort was mixed with some grief, by reason of his departure from them. For they loved him so tenderly, that they could not hear him speak of leaving them without heaviness and sorrow. And what can we think of his blessed Mother ? May we not devoutly imagine that, sitting near him, and hearing what he said concerning his departure, she was moved with the tenderness of her motherly affection ; and that overcome with grief. �21 which suddenly seized, and oppressed her blessed soul, she inclined her head towards him, and rested it upon his sacred breast! For, if John the Evangelist at the last supper, took this freedom, with much more reason may we suppose her to do the same on this doleful occasion. Hence, then, with tears, and many sighs, she spoke to him in this manner: " Oh my beloved son, I beseech thee not to leave me ; but if thou must depart, and return again to thy heavenly Father, take me, thv afflicted Mother, along with thee !" But our blessed Lord endeavoured to comfort her, and said, " Grieve not, oh beloved parent, at my leaving you because I go to my Father; and it is expedient that you remain here a short time longer, to confirm in their faith, such as shall be converted, and believe in me, and afterwards I will come again, and take you with me, to be a partaker of my glory." To whom again, our Lady replied, " My beloved Son, may thy will always be fulfilled in all things, for I am not only contented to remain here during thy pleasure, but also, to suffer death for love of those souls, for which thou hast so willingly vouchsafed to lay down thy life: this, however, I beseech thee, be thou ever mindful of me." Our Lord then again comforted her, with the disciples, and Mary Magdalene, saying, " Let not your hearts be troubled, nor fear ye any thing, I will not leave you desolate ; I go, but will shortly return again to you, and will remain always with you." At length he bid them remove from thence, and go to Mount Olivet, because from that place he would ascend into heaven, in the presence of them all: saying this, he disappeared. His holy Mother, with the rest of the company, without any delay, hastened to the said mount, about a mile distant from Jerusalem, as he had appointed �them, where our Lof d again soon appeared to them. Behold on this day we have two different apparitions of our ( Lord. Thus being all together, our iioihfc embraced his lioly Mother, and she again embraced him in a most tender manner, taking leave -of- oiukother. And the disciples, Mary Magdalene, and tho rest falling down to the ground, and weeing with tenderness, kissed his Messed feet, and he, raising theniup, embraced all his apostles most lovingly; = Let us now, pious Reader, , diligently- consider them, and devoutly all that is hem done ; and amongst the rest* let m behold ihe holy Fathers, whp being there present ithougli invisible, joyfully admire, aijd inwardly praisethe blessed Yirgiii^iby whom they received So great & benefit as then- salvation.

Mf with serene and pleasing aspect, crowned with glory, . victoriously ^sceuded into heaven, but first blessing them, he said, < Be stedfast, and fight courageously, < for I shall always be. with you, even to the end of the world." Thus, our Lord Jesus, ascended into heaven, fulfilling that which the prophet Mi pah bad said long before his asccnsiQn ; And their King $hallpats before them, and the Lord at the head of them. j3pthat tljpy §11 followed him with unspeakable joy, and never-ending felicity. And Miqhael, the prince of God's eglestial host, £oing before, % jqjC&l tilings pf their Lord's ascending, at ^hich the whqle he^Y^nly court of celestial spirits came forth to meet thpir Lord, and with all worship and reyereuee, they him with hymns and songs of jubilation, repeating with. i naxpressible joy, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, ^ Having paid their dug f e v m m to" M tlu> joy fill, n w t y ] ^ zhv;U H ^ l t h } : M nappy meeting ?

As sheep of our Lord's pasture we enter his gates, Alleluia : With hymns and canticles, Alleluia : For the Lord of power is with us, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia." For according to the prophet, The Lord is ascending in shouts of joy, and the Lord in the sound of a trumpet. Our Lord Jesus ascended visibly for the greater comfort of hi* mother and disciples, that they might see him as far as they could. And behold a cloud received him out of their sight, and in an instant they were present in heaven! And as the blessed Virgin and the disciples were looking still up to heaven, two angels stood beside them in white garments, who began to comfort them, telling them not to look loager after his body, which they saw ascend so gloriously into heaven, for that they should not see him any more in that form till the day of Judgment, when he should come to judge the quick and the dead. They bid them return into the city again, and their to expect the coming of the Holy Ghost, as he himself had told them. His blessed Mother spoke to the angels, desiring them to recommend her to her blessed son ; who profoundly inclining to her, promised gladly to fulfil her commands. And the apostles and Mary Magdalene recommended themselves in the same manner. After this, the angels departing, they went according rs they had been appointed into the city, unto Mount Sion, and waited there the coming of the Holy Ghost.

Delivered under the similitude of a Dream. PAISLEY: PRINTED BY CALDWELL AND SON, W 2, NEW STREET. © �his worthy friend the Author of The Third Part ofths Progress, upon the perusal thereof T H O U G H many things are writ to please the age r Amongst the re^t for this I dare engage, "Where virtue dwells, it will acceptance find, And to your pilgrim, most that read be kind, But all to please, would be a task as hard, As for the winds from blowing to be barr'd. The pious Christian, in a mirror here, May see the promised land, and, without fear Of threaten'd danger, bravely travel oil, Until his juurney he has safely gone, And does arrive upon the happy shore, Where joys increase, and sorrow is no more* This is a dream, not fabled as of old j In this express the sacred truths are told, That do to our eternal peace belong, And, after mourning changes to a song Of glorious triumph, that are without end, I f we but bravely for the prize eontend. No pilgrimage like this, can make us blest?. Since it brings us to everlasting rest; So well in every part the sense is laid, That it to charm t/te reader may be said, WitA curious fancy and great delight, W/iieZr to an imitation must invite. And Aappy are they, that, tArougA stormy seas, And dangers, seek adventures like to tAese ! W&o sell the world for t/jis great pearl of price, WAicA, once procured, will purchase Paradise I H e who in sucA a bark dotA spread /lis sails.

So wishes yourfaithful friend, Pilgrim �a "rhe progress of the Pilgrim is here represented by Christian leaving the City of Destruction, in terror and alarm at his fate. He is met by Evangelist, who, perceiving his fear, asked him, Wherefore dost thou cry? H e asnwered, I see by the Book in my hand that I am condemned to die. Then Evangelist said, why standest thou still; Fly from the wrath to come. Whether shall I fly? said Christian. Then said Evangelist, Dost thou see yonder shining light; keep that light in yotar eye, and go up directly thereto, so shalt thou see the gate, at which when thou kncckest, it shall be told thee w hat thou shalt do. Christian begari to run, but he had not run far when his wife and children began to cry after him to return, but he put his fingers in his ears, and ran on crying Life, Life, Eternal Life. �Christian bad not proceeded far, till wife and children with many neighbours, entreated him to come back, but all in vain. Christian persuaded two of them to go with him, viz. Pliable and Obstinate. Obstinate soon rebels, but pliable jogged on, till suddenly both he and Christian plumped into the Slough of Despond. Pliable set his face homewards, determined to get rid of such difficulties ; but Christian struggled hard to g2in the other side, while the burden of sin on his back had nearly overcome him. A man called Help came to his assistance, and again set him on his way. He soon after met Worldly-wiseman, who directed him to the Town of Morality, where one named Legality would relieve him of his burden. H e immediately tcok the road, but had not gone far till terror and alarm seizM hiro, arid again Evangelist met him and checked him, and set him on the right road. �After getting a severe reproof from Evangelist, Christi in was horror struck at his deviating from the right road, and almost lost hope of ever attaining his object, when Evangelist, taking him by the hand, cheered him on warning him of the same danger in time. Christian at length arrived at the gate, upon which was inscribed * knock and it shall be opened/ H e knocked more than once or twice, when a grave person came to the gate, named Goodwill, who asked him what, he wanted. Christian replied, he was a poor hardened sinner from the City of Destruction, bound for Mount Zion, will you let me in?" "With all my heart," he replied. Beelzebub, as he entered, gava him a pull, but Christian escaped. �Christian having fairly escaped the attempts of Beelze° bub and his emissaries to hold him back, and being fairlyentered in at the gate, received many wholesome advices from Goodwill how to proceed; and coming to the house of Interpreter, was kindly welcomed, and shewn many strange and wondrous sights, at which Christian was sadly alarmed; but being soothed by Interpreter, with kindly directions to proceed on his journey, he again set off, passed the walls of salvation, and came to a rising ground, where stood a cross, and a little below a sepulchre. At the cross, his bundle loosened off, and tumbled to the mouth of the sepulchre, whe^e it fell in, and was no more seen. Then was Christian glad, and said with a merry heart, 'he hath giyen me rest by his sorrow, and life by his death. �Christian having now got rid of his burden, pushed on more lightly. He soon fell in with three men, named Simple, Sloth, and Presumtion, whom he endeavoured to rouse and assist; but they would not listen to him, so he left them, very grieved. He then saw two men come tumbling over the wall, Formality and Hypocrisy, who walked along with him in hope of reaching Mount Zion, though having no passport, till they came to the hill Difficulty, when the one took the road to Destruction, and the other to Danger; but Christian took the narrow path up the hill, and struggled hard till he arrived at the arbour, prepared by the Lord of the place for weary pilgrims, where he sat and refreshed himself, and read his scroll with great delight. �When Christian had got to the top of the hill, two men came running to meet him, named Timorous and Mistrust. 'What is the matter, said he, that you are running the wrong way?' Timorous said, 'We were for Mount Zion, but the farther we went, the dangers became the greater, and we were turning back again; two mighty lions are before us, ready to pull us in pieces.' Then was Christian in great distress, and knew not what to do. He put his hand in his bosom for the roll to comfort him, but behold it was gone. He remembered having slept at the arbour, and traced his way back with weary steps to find it. H e fell on his knees and begged forgiveness for his error, and while in that position his eye catched the roll under the seat. H e put it in his bosom with joy, again took the road, came in view of the lions; but they, being chained, could not hurt him. �9 r ^ j ' When Christian lift up his eyes, he beheld the palace of Beautiful, the porter's gate, and two lions. H e was encouraged to come forward, being assured he should receive no harm, as they were chained. After a few interrogations from the Porter as to his intentions, and how he came to be so late at night, which was satisfactorily answered. Christian requested lodgings for the night. The Porter knocked at the door of the Palace, when a damsel called Discretion answered, and after a long conversation with her two sisters, Piety and Prudence, regarding the nature of his journey, the difficulties that had befallen him, and what could have moved him to leave his wife and family, to undertake such a journey, thc^ found it was time to go to re&t, when he was conducted to the Chamber of Peace. �H e got up in the morning, and was shown all the rarities of the place, and clad with a suit of Armour. The Porter informed him that one Faithful had just past, Christian followed, but was met by Apollyon, with whom he had a bloody struggle, but overcame. The valley of the Shadow of Death was another horrific scene that he also accomplished; and looking back, now with horror the bones of many martyrs at the mouth, and soon came in sight of faithful, with whom he held sweet converse, till he came to Vanity Fair. Their manner and dress attracted the attention of people, and caused a great demur. A merchant asked what they would buy; they said, 'the Truth;—which he took amiss, and raised such a hubbub, that they were both taken up, and put in a cage for publiG view. �Poor Christian and Faithful, while in the cage, belmved themselves very meekly, in spite of all the insults they received; and many others were buffered for taking their part. They were dragged through the Fair, and again conducted to their cage to stand their trial, which was soon brought on. Envy, Superstition, and Hypocrisy were brought forward as evidences, who did not fail to tell a partial story, which a partial judge, Mr. Hategood, and a partial packed jury did not fail to confirm; and Faithful was found guilty of the crime libelled, and condemmned to die at the stake. Faithful was allowed to make a defence, but instead of doing him any good, only hardened them against him. �12 Poor Faithful was then Lr u^ht out, to do with him according to the law. First h"y scourged him, then they buffetted him, then they lanced his flesh with knives, after that they stoned him with stones, they pricked him with their swords, and last of all they burnt him to ashes at the stake.-—Thus came Faithful to his end. Then stood behind the multitude a chariot and a couple of horses waiting for Faithful, who was taken up into it, and carried up through the clouds with sound of trumpet, the nearest way to tho Celestial Gate. Christian he got some respite, and was remanded back to prison; but he that overrules all things, abated their rage, and he escaped thence, and went his way. �A, Altho' Christian went away alone, Hopeful, a pilgrim bound for the Celestial City, fell in with him, and they went on joyfully. They then fell in with Byends, but soon parted with him. They met with several otherg, whose company they did net rel'sfo, and left them. One Demas attempted to lead them astray with filthy lucre, but they resisted him, and kept the right road. They afterwards passed Lot's wife, and slept on the banks of Pleasant River. They then went off their way. but again found it, and fell asleep in the policies of Doubting Castle, where Giant Despair took them both prisoners, and treat them very harshly,—they almost chose death rather than life under such treatment. However a key found in Christian's bosom opened the doors? &nd they made their escape with difficulty, 0 �Having escaped from Giant Despair, they errected a pillar at the stile, warning travellers to beware of Doubting Castle, there they went on singing till they came to the Delectable Mountains, where they surveyed all the beautiful gardens and orchards on Emmanuel's land, in company with the shepherds. They were now in sight of the city, and the shepherds showed them many wonderful things; among the rest, a dismal hole. They bade the pilgrims look in: when they heard a rumbling noise, and beheld all within it dark and smoky, and a cry of some tormented. They were told this was the way of the wicked. Leaving this country, they came to the enchanted ground, where they fell in with some of the shining inhabitants of the city, and had abundance of corn and wine, and heard voices out of the city, saying, 'say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold thy salvation cemetli- �15 Drawing nearer the city, they beheld it built of pearls and precious stones, the streets were paved with gold. Christian with desire fell sick ; Hopeful also had a fit or two. They were strengthened, and went on, beholding the vineyards and gardens of these delightful lands. Between them and the gate was a river, very deep, and no bridge. The pilgrims were alarmed, but through it they must pass. Christian began to sink, but Hopeful cheered him on. Then said Christian, 4 the sorrows of death hath compassed me about.' In sinking, they lost their earthly garments, but rose and were welcomed on the other side by two glorious persons, who ascended a very steep hill. They went up with great ease, and landed safely in the Celestial City, which they entered singing, with a loud voice, 'Blessing, honour, glory, and power to him oil the throne, and to the Lamb, for ever and ever. �16 Ever since Christian went off on his journey to the Celestial City, Christiana his wife and their children did nothing but weep and lament for him; crying often out in her sleep, 'Lord have mercy upon me a sinner/ An heavenly messenger came to her, and gave her a letter. The contents advised her to do as her husband had done, and to dwell in his presence for ever. At this she was quite overcome, and asked him to carry her hither. But he said, 'You must go through the troubles as he has done before you: yonder is the wicket gate over the plain, and I wish thee speed. Several of the neighbours advised her against it, but she took the road, with all her children; and falling in with Mercy, they went on in the sweet hope of shortly arriving at that happy place where her husband was. �IT Mary expressed herself doubtful as to her right of admission at the wicket gate, but Christiana encouraged hw on, and assured her of a kind reception. Then Mercy eaid, 'Had I as good ground to hope as you have, I think no Slough of Despond would discourage me.' They got all safe over the Slough, and arrived at ihe gate, whe®e they knocked a long time, but nothing but an angry dog barked at them. They got afraid to knock any more, till venturing another knock, the keeper called 'Who's there,' and opened to them. Christiana said, she came from whence Christian came, who was there before, and upon the same errand here are also my children. H e took her by the hand, and said, 'Suffer little children to come unto me." She interceded far Mercy, and she was admitted also. �With some difficulty, Mercy was admitted. She questioned the keeper what he meant by keeping such a dog. H e said the dog was not his, but kept by a person to terify pilgrims from the gate, in which he was but too successful. In passing along, they were LS aulted by two ill favoured ones, who did what they could to lead them astray, but were defeat. After being with one or two more, she arrived at the Interpreter's house, who, while supper was getting ready, shewed them many wondrous things, told them many curious stories, and related many parables. Supper being ready, and thanks given, they partook of a hearty repast, while masic played sweetly. When supper and music was over, Interpreter asked Christiana what moved her to try a pilgrim's life, she said the loss of her husband, and the letter from the King of Zion, �The Interpreter also asked Mercy what induced her to go in such an undertaking. She said, 'My friend telHng me how many fine things her husband was enjoying, tempted me to go.' In the morning they rose with the sun, to depart, but they were ordered into the garden to bathe and purify themselves before they went on their journey, which they (lid, and were much refreshed. Greatheart was sent along with them to guide them on their way, and converse with them. They passed the place where the load fell from Christian's back, and made a pause. After musing a little, they came to the place where Simple, Sloth, and Presumption were hanging in chains. Mercy inquired the cause of this, when she was told their crime was leading a number of pilgrims out of their way, and giving an ill report of your Lord, saying he was a hard taskmaster. �j Greathearfc wished Christiana and Mercy to go up and see their crimes engraven on a pillar of brass, but they would not go ; but wished their names might rot, and their crimes live for ever against them, saying, it was fortunate they were hanged before they came hither. They soon arrived at the foot of the Hill of Difficulty; Greatheart shewed them the Spring where Christian drank, and the two byeways where Formality and Hypocrisy lost themselves. Yet there are people who will choose to adventure in these paths, rather than go up the hill. They began to go up the hill, and Christiana began to pant and want a rest; but Greatheart encouraged them, telling them they were not far from the Arbour, where they woukl find rest. 4 \ �Being refreshed at the Arbour, and seeing many sights that Christian recounted before, they again took the road determined to resist all obstacles. Greatheart at all times proved their faithful friend and sure defence. He encountered a ferocious giant and slew him. Shortly after, they fell in with another, which he also overcame; and lastly they approached Doubting Castle, which Greatheart determined to level to the ground. He sent the giant a challange, and they had a severe fight, but the giant was overcome, and hie head was severed from his body. Then they fell to demolishing the castle, and released several prisoners, who were almost starved to death. It took seven days to demoMsh it, and many strange sights were seen. �22 They H W jogged on in the usual path of pilgrims, occasionally O meeting with difficulties and encouragement, carefully surveying all the spots where Christian her husband happened with any tiling memorable, till they arrived at the land of Beulah, where the sun shines night and day, and here because they were weary they betook themselves to rest. But a little while soon refreshed them here; for the bells did so ringT and the trumpets continually sounded so melodiously, that they could not sleep, and yet they received as much refreshment as if they slept their sleep never so soundly. N o w while they lay here, and wailed for the good hour, there was a noise in the town, that there was a post come from the Celestial City, with matters of great importance, lo one Christiana the wife of Christian the pilgrim. So enquiry was made for her, and the house was found out where she was; so the post presented her with a letter the contents were, "Hail, good woman! I bring thee tidings the Master calleth for thee, and expecteth that thou shouldst stand in his presence, in clothes of immortality, within these ten days." When he had read this letter to her, he gave her therewith a true token that he was a true messenger, and was come to bid her make haste to be gone. The token was, an airow sharpened with love, let easily into her heart, which by degrees wrought so effectually with her, that at the time appointed s&e must be gone. When Christiana saw her time was come, and that she was the first of this company that was to go over, she called for Mr. Greatheart her guide, and told him how matters were. Then she called for her children, and gave them her blessing, and told them, that she had read wi;h comfort the mark that was set in their foreheads, and was glad to see them with her there, and that they had kept their garments so white. Lastly, she bequeathed to the poor that little she had, and commanded her sons and daughters to be ready against the messenger should come for them. When she had spoken these words to her guide, and to her children, she called for Mr. Valiant-for-truth, and said unto him, Sir, You have in all places shewed yourself true hearted, be faithful unto death, and my King will give you a crown of glory. I would also entreat you to have an eye to my children; and if at any time you see them faint, speak comfortably to them; for my daughters, my sons* wives, they have been faithful, and a fulfilling of the promise upon them will be their end. But she gave Mr. Standfast a ring. Then she aalled for old Mr. Honest, and she said of him, Behold an Isr a elite indeed, in whom is no guile. Then said lie, I wish you a fair day, when you set out for Mount Sion, and shall be glad to see that you get over the river shod. But she answered, 'Come wet, or come dry, I long to be gone; for however, the weather is in my journey, I shall have time enough when I come t/*ere, to sit down and rest me, and dry me. Then came in the good man Mr. Ready-to-halt, to see her. So she said to him, Thy travail hitherto has been with difficulty: but that will make thy rest the sweeter. But watch and be ready; for at an hour when you think not, the messenger may come. �%3 After him eaaae Mr. Despondency, and bis daughter Much-afraid ; to whom she said, You ought with thankfulness, for ever, to remember your deliverance from the hand of Giant Despair, and out of Doubting Castle, The effect of that mercy is, that you are brought with safety hither. Be yet watchful, and cast away fear; be sober and hope to the end. Then she said to Mr. Feeble-mind, Thou wast delivered from the mouth of the Giant Slay good, that«thou mightest live in the light of the living for ever, and see the King with comfort: only I advise thee to repent thee of thy aptness to fear and doubt of his goodness, before he sends for thee ; lest thou shouldest, when he comes, be forced to stand before him, for the fault, with blushing. Now the day drew on, that Christiana must be gone. So the road was full of people to see her take her journey. But Behold ! all the banks beyond the river were full of horses and chariots, which were come down from above to accompany her to the city-gate. So she came forth and entered the river with a beckon of farewell to those that followed her to the river-side. The last words that she was heard to say, were, "I come, Lord, to be with thee, and bless thee." So her children and friends returned to their place; for that those that waited for Christiana had carried her out of their sighv So she went and called, and entered in at the gate with all the ceremonies of joy that her husband Christian had entered before her. Then k came to pass a while after, that there was a post in the t )wn that inquired for Mr. Honest, So he came to his house where lie was, and delivered ieto his hands these lines, Thou art commanded to be ready against this day sevennight to present thyself before thy Lord, at his father's house. And for a token that my message is true, All the daughters of the muse shall be brought low. Then Mr. Honest called for his friends, and said unto them, I die, but shall make no will. As for my Honesty, it shall go with me; let him that comes after be told this. When the day that he was to be gone was come, he addressed himself to go over. Now this river at that time overflowed the banks in some places; but Mr. Honest in his lifetime had spoken to one Good-Conscience to meet him there, the which he also did, and lent him his hand, and so helped him over. The last Words of Mr. Honest were, Grace reigns. So he left the world. Now, while he was thus in discourse, his countenance changed, his strong man bowed under him ; and after he had said, Take me, for I come unto thee, he ceased to be seen of them. In process of time, there came a post to the town again, and his business was with Mr. Ready-to-halt. So he enquired him out and said, I am come to thee in the name of Him whom thou hast loved and followed, though upon crutches; and my message is, to tell thee, that he expects thee at his table to sup with him in his kingdom, the next day after Easter: wherefore prepare thyself for thy journey. Then he also gave him a token that he was a true messenger, saying, I have broken the golden bowl, and loosed the silver cord* After this, Mr. Ready-to-hal't called for his fellow pilgrims, and to them, saying, I am sent for, and God shall surely visit you also. So �24 he desired Mr. Valiant to make bis will; and because he had nothing to bequeath them that should survive him, but his crutches, and hia good wishes, therefore thus he said , These crutches I bequeatA to my son that shall tread in my steps, with an hundred warm wishes that he may prove better than I have been. Then he thanked Mr. Great-heart for his conduct and kindness, and so addressed himself to his journey. When he came to the brink of the river, he said. N o w I shall hifve no more need of these crutches, since yonder are chariots and horses for me to ride on. The last words he was heard to say, were, Welcome life! So he went his way. After this Mr. Feehle-mind had tidings brought him, that the post sounded his horn at his chamber door. Then he came in, and told liim, saying, l a m come to tell thee, that thy Master hath need of thee; and that in a very little time thou must behold his face in brightness. And take this as a token of the truth of my message : Those that look out at the windows shall be darkened. Then Mr. Feeble-mind called for his frie^ds^ and told them what errand had been brought unto him, and what token he had received of the truth of the message. Then he said, Smce I have nothing to bequeath to any, to what purpose should I make a will ? As for my feeblemind, that I will leave behind, for that I have no need of it in the place whither I go : nor is it worth bestowing upon the poorest pilgrims, wherefore, when I am gone, I desire that you, Mr. Valiar\J, would bury it in a dung-hill. This done, and the day being come in which he was to depart, he entered the river as the rest: his last words were, Hold out faith and patience. So he went over to the other side. But glorious it was to see how the opeu region w&s filled with horses and chariots, with trumpets and pipers, with singers and players «n stringed instruments, to welcom the pilgrims as they went up, and followed one another in at the beautiful gate of the city. As for Christiana's children, the four boys that Christiana brought, with their wives and children, I did not stajr where I was till they were gone over. Also since I came away, 1 heard one say they were yet alive, and so would be, for the Increase of the church ia that place where they were for a time. Shall it be my lot to go that way again, I may give those that desire it an account »f what 1 here am silent about. Mean time I bid my reader FAREWELL. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I WAS born at the little town of Frosinone, which lies at the skirts of the Abruzzi. M y father had made a little property in trade, and gave me some education, as he intended me for the church; but I had kept gay company too much to relish the cowl, so I grew up a loiterer about the place. I was a heedless fellow, a little quarrelsome on occasion, but goodhumoured in the main; so I made my way very well for a time, until I fell in love. There lived in our town a surveyor or land-bailiff of the prince's, who had a young daughter, a beautiful girl of sixteen: she was looked upon as something better than the common run of our townsfolk, I saw her occasionally, and became madly in love with her she looked so fresh and tender, and so different from the sun-burned females to whom I had been accustomed. A s my father kept me in money, I of showing myself off to advantage in the eyes of the little beauty. I used to see her always and was kept al dressed we �4 at church ; and as 1 could play a little upon the guitar, I gave a tune sometimes under her window of an evening; and I tried to have interviews with her in her father's vineyard, not far from the town, where she sometimes walked. She was evidently pleased with me, but she was young and s h y ; and her father kept a strict eye upon her, and took alarm at my attentions, for he had a bad opinion of me, and looked for a better match for his daughter. I became furious at the difficulties thrown in my way, having been accustomed always to easy success among the women, being considered one of the smartest young fellows of the place. Her father brought home a suitor for her, a rich farmer from a neighbouring town. T h e wedding-day was appointed, and preparations were making at her window, and 1 thought she looked sadly at me. I determined the match should not take place, cost what it might. I met her intended bridegroom in the market place, and could not restrain the expression of when I drew my stiletto and stabbed him to the heart. 1 fled to a neighbouring church for refuge, and with a little money I obtained absolution, but I did not dare to venture from my asylum. At that time our captain was forming his �5 troop. He had known me from boyhood ; and hearing' of my situation, came to me in secret, and made such offers, that I agreed to enrol myself among his followers. Indeed, I had more than once thought of taking to this mode of life, having known several brave fellows of the mountains, who used to spend their money freely among us youngsters asylum late one night, repaired to the appointed were for some time in a distant part of the mountains, and our wild adventurous kind of life hit my fancy wonderfully, and diverted my thoughts. A t length they returned with all their violence to the recollection of Rosetta : the solitude in which I often found myself gave me time to brood over her image; and, as I have kept watch at night over our sleeping camp in the mountains, my feelings have been roused almost to a fever. A t length we shifted our ground, and determined to make a descent upon the road between Terracina and Naples. In the course of our expedition we passed a day or two in the woody mountains which rise above Frosinone. I cannot tell you how I felt when I looked down upon the place, and distinguished the residence of Rosetta. I of the town place of meeti �V determined to have an interview with h e r ; but to what purpose ? I could not expect that she would quit her home, and accompany me in mv hazardous life among the mountains. She had bee for that; and when I looked upon the women who were associated with some of our troop, I could not have borne the thoughts of her being their companion. A l l return to my former life was likewise hopeless, for a price was set upon my head. Still I determined fruitlessness of the thing made me furious to accomplish it. It is about three weeks since I persuaded our captain to draw down to the vicinity of Frosinone, in hopes of entrapping some of its principal inhabitants, and compelling them to a ransom. W e were l y i n g in ambush towards evening, not far from the vineyard of Rosetta's father. I stole quietly from my companions, and drew near to reconnoitre the place of her frequent walks. How my heart beat when among the vines I beheld the gloaming of a white dress ! I knew it must be Rossetta's; it being rare for any female of the place to dress in white. I advanced secretly and without noise, until, putting aside the vines, and stood suddenly before her. She uttered a piercing shriek, but I seized her in my arms, put my hand �7 upon her mouth, and conjured her to be silent. I poured out all the frenzy of m y passion; offered to renounce my mode of life; to put my fate in her hands; to fly with her where we might live in safety together. A l l that I could say or do would not pacify her. Instead of love, horror and affright seemed to have taken possession of her breast. She struggled partly from my grasp, and filled the air with her cries. In an instant the captain and the rest of my companions were around us. I would have given any thing at that moment had she been safe out of our hands, and in her father's house. It was too late. The captain pronounced her a prize, and ordered that she should be borne to the mountains. I represented had a previous claim to her; and I mentioned bitterly in reply; observed that brigands had no business with village intrigues, and that, according to the laws of the troop, all spoils of the kind were determined by lot. Love and jealously were r a g i n g in my heart, but I had to choose between obedience and death. I surrendered her to the captain, and we made for the mountains. She was overcome by affright, and her steps were so feeble and faltering that it was necessary to support her. I could not en- to him my form �dure the idea that my comrades should touch her, and assuming a forced tranquility, begged that she might be confided to me, as one to whom she was more accustomed. The captain regarded me, for a moment, with a searching look, but I bore it without flinching, and he consented. I took her in my arms; she was almost senseless. Her head rested on my shoulder; I felt her breath on my face, and it seemed to fan the flame which devoured me. Oh G o d ! to have this glowing treasure in my arms, and yet to think it was not mine! W e arrived at the foot of the mountain. I ascended it with difficulty, particularly where the woods were thick, but I would not relinquish my delicious burden. I reflected do so. T h e thoughts that so delicate a creature must be abandoned to my rude companions, maddened me. I felt tempted, the stiletto in my hand, to cut my way through them all, and bear her off in triumph. I scarcely conceived the idea before I saw its rashness; but my brain was fevered with the thought that any but myself should enjoy her ch my companions by the quickness of my movements,' and to get a little distance ahead in case any favourable opportunity of escape should present. Vain effort! �9 T h e voice of the captain suddenly ordered a halt. I trembled, but had to obey. The poor girl partly opened a languid eye, but was without strength or motion. I laid her upon the grass. T h e captain darted on me a terrible look of suspicion, and ordered me to scour the woods with my companions in search of some shepherd, who might be sent to her father's to demand a ransom. I saw at once the peril. T o resist with violence was certain death, but to leave her alone, in the power of the captain ! I spoke out then with a fervour, inspired by my passion and my despair. I reminded the captain that I was the first to seize her; that she was my prize; and that myprevious sacred among my companions. I insisted, therefore, that he should pledge me his word to respect her, otherwise I should refuse obedience to his orders. His only reply was to cock his carbine, and at the signal my comrades did the same. They laughed with cruelty at my impotent rage. What could I do? I felt the madness of resistance. I was menaced on all hands, and my companions obliged me to follow them. She remained alone with the chief yes, alone and almost lifeless ! Here the robber paused in his recital, overpowered by his emotions, Great drops of �10 sweat stood on his forehead; he panted rather than breathed; his brawny bosom rose and fell like the waves of a troubled sea. i When he had become a little calm, he continued I was not long in finding a shepherd, said he. I ran with the rapidity of a deer, eager, if possible, to get back before what I dreaded might take place. I had left my companions far behind, and I rejoined them before they had reached onehalf the distance I had made. I hurried them back to the place where we had left the captain. As we approached, I beheld him seated by the side of Rosetta. His triumphant look, and the dessolate condition of the unfortunate girl, left me no doubt of her fate. I know not how I restrained my fury. It was with extreme difficulty, and by guiding her hand, that she was made to trace a few characters, requesting her father to send three hundred dollars as her ransom. The letter was dispatched by the shepherd. When he was gone, the chief turned sternly t o m e : " Y o u have set an example," said he, " o f mutiny and self-will, which, if indulged, would be ruinous to the troop. Had I treated you as our laws require, this bullet would have been driven through your brain. But you are an old friend; I have borne patiently with your fury and your hi �11 folly. 1 have even protected you from a foolish passion that would have unmanned you. A s to this girl, the laws of our association he gave his commands: lots were drawn, an I the helpless girl was abandoned to the troop. must have their c Here the robber paused again, panting with fury, and it was some moments before he could resume his story. Hell, said he, was r a g i n g in my heart. 1 beheld the impossibility of avenging myself; and I felt that, according to the articles in which we stood bound to one another, the captain was in the right. I rushed with frenzy from the place; I threw myself upon the earth ; tore up the grass with my hands, and beat my head and gnashed my teeth in agony and rage. When at length I returned, I beheld the wretched victim, pale, dishevelled, her dress torn and disordered. A n emotion of pity, for a moment, subdued my fierce feelings. I bore her to the foot of a tree, and leaned her gently against it. I took my gourd, which was filled with wine, and applying it to her lips, endeavoured to make her swallow a little. T o what a condition was she once seen the pride of Frosinone! whom but a short time before I had beheld sporting in her father's vineyard, so fresh, and beautiful, and happy! �12 her eyes fixed on the ground; her form without motion, and in a state of absolute insensibility, I hung over her in an agony of recollection at all that she had been, and of anguish at what I now beheld her. I darted round a look of horror at my companions, who seemed exulting in the downfall of an angel! and I felt a horror at myself for being their accomplice. T h e captain, always suspicious, saw, with his usual penetration, what was passing within me, and ordered me to go upon the ridge of the woods, to keep a look-out over the neighbourhood, and await the return of the shepherd. I obeyed, of course, stifling the fury that raged within me, though I felt for the moment that he was my most deadly foe. On my way, however, a ray of reflection came across my mind. I perceived that the captain was but following, with strictness, the terrible laws to which we had sworn fidelity. T h a t the passion by which I had been blinded might, with justice, have been fatal to me, but for his forbearance ; that lie had penetrated my soul, and had taken precautions, by sending me out of the way, to prevent my committing any excess in my anger. From that instant I felt that I was capable of pardoning him. �13 Occupied with these thoughts, I arrived at the foot of the mountain. T h e country was solitary and secure, and in a short time I beheld the shepherd at a distance crossing the plain. I hastened to meet him. He had obtained nothing. He had found the father plunged in the deepest distress. He had read the letter with violent emotion, and then calming himself with a sudden exertion, he had replied coldly, " M y daughter has been dishonoured by those wretches : let her be returned without ransom, or let her die I" I shuddered at this reply. I knew, according was inevitable. O u r oaths required it. I felt, nevertheless, that not having been able to have her to myself, I could become her executioner! T h e robber again paused with agitation. 1 sat musing upon his last frightful words, which proves to what excess the passions may be carried when escaped from all moral restraint. There was a horrible verity in this story that reminded me of some of the tragic fictions of Dante. W e now come to a fatal moment, resumed the bandit. A f t e r the report of the shepherd, I returned with him, and the chieftain received from his lips the refusal of the father. A t a signal, which we all understood, to the laws of �14 we followed him to some distance from the victim. He there pronounced her sentence of death. Every one stood ready to execute his order; but I interfered. I observed that there was something due to pity as well as to justice. That I was as ready as any one to approve the implacable law, which was to serve as a warning to all those who hesitated to pay the ransoms demanded for our prisoners ; but that though the sacrifice was proper, it ought to be made without cruelty. The night is approaching,continue let her then be dispatched. A l l I now claim on the score of former fondness for her is, let me strike the blow. I will do it as surely, but more tenderly than another. Several raised their voices against my proposition, but the c them. He told me I might conduct her into a thicket at some distance, and he relied upon my promise. I hastened to seize upon my prey. There was a forlorn kind of triumph at having at length become her exclusive possessor. I bore her off into the thickness of the forest She remained in the same state of insensibility did not recollect me; for had she once murmured and stupo my name �15 him who was to poniard her. Many were the conflicts I underwent before I could bring myself to strike the blow. But my heart had become sore by the recent conflicts it had undergone, and I dreaded lest, by procrastination, some other should become her executioner. When her repose had continued for some time, I separated myself gently from her, that I might not disturb her sleep, and seizing suddenly my poinard, plunged it into her bosom. A painful and concentrated murmur, but without anyconvulsive sigh. So perished this unfortunate! �16 PUSS IN BOOTS. THERE was a miller who had three sons, and when he died he divided what he possessed He gave his mill to the eldest, his ass to the second, and his cat to the youngest. Each of the brothers accordingly took what belonged to him without the help of an attorney, who would soon have brought their little fortune to nothing in law-expenses. The poor young fellow who had nothing but the cat complained that he was hardly used: " M y brothers," said he, " by joining in the world; but for me, when I have eaten my cat, and made a fur-cap of his skin, I may soon die of h u n g e r ! " The cat, which all this time sat listening just inside the door of a cupboard, now ventured to come out, and addressed him as follows: " Do not thus afflict yourself, my good master; you have only to give me a bag, and get a pair of boots made for me, so that I may scamper through the dirt and the brambles, and you shall see that you are not so ill provided for as you imagine." Though the cat's master did not much among- the their �17 depend upon these promises yet as he had often observed the cunning tricks Puss used to catch rats and mice, such as hanging by the hindlegs, and hiding in the meal to make them believe that he was dead, he did not entirely despair of his being of some use to him in his unhappy condition. When the cat had obtained what he asked for, he gaily began to equip himself; he drew on the boots and putting the bag about his neck, he took hold of strings with his forepaws, and, bidding his master take courage, immediately sallied forth. The first attempt Puss made was to go into a warren, in which there was a great number of rabbits. He put some bran and some parsley into his b a g ; and then, stretching himself out at full length as if he was dead, he waited for some young rabbits, (which as yet knew nothing of the cunning tricks of the world) to come and get into the bag, the better to feast upon the dainties he had put into it. Scarcely had he lain down before he succeeded young rabbit crept into the bag, and the cat immediately drew the strings, and killed him without mercy. Puss, proud of his prey, hastened directly to the palace, where he asked to speak to the king. On being shown into the apart as well as �18 meat of his majesty, he made a low bow, and s a i d , " I have brought you, sire, this rabbit from the warren of my lord the marquis o present it to your majesty with the assurance of his respect." This was the title the cat thought proper to bestow upon his master. " Tell my lord marquis of Carabas," replied the king, " th with pleasure, and that I am greatly obliged to him." Soon after the cat laid himself down in the same manner in a field of corn, and had as much good fortune as before; for two fine partridges got into his bag, which he immediately killed and carried to the palace. The k i n g received them as he had done the rabbit, and ordered his servants to give the messenger something to drink. In this manner he continued to carry presents of game to the k i n g from my lord marquis of Carabas, once at least every week. One day, the cat having heard that the king intended to take a ride that morning by the river side with his daughter, who was the most beautiful princess in the world, he said to his m a s t e r , " I f you will but off your clothes, and bathe yourself in the river, just in the place I shall show you, and leave the rest to me." follow m �The marquis of Carabas did exactly as he was desired, without being able to guess at what the cat intended. While he was bathing the k i n g passed by, and Puss directly called out as loud as he could bawl, " Help! help! my lord marquis of Carabas is in danger of being drowned!" The k i n g hearing the cries, put his head out at the window of his carriage to see what was the matter; when, perceiving the very cat which had brought him so many presents, he ordered his attendants to go directly to the assistance of my lord marquis of Carabas. While they were employed in taking the marquis out of the river, the cat ran to the king's carriage and told his majesty, that while his master was bathing, some thieves had run off with his clothes as they lay by the river side, the cunning cat all the time having hid them under a large stone. The k i n g hearing this, commanded the officers of his wardrobe to fetch one of the handsomest suits it contained, and present it to my lord marquis of Carabas, at the same time loading him with a thousand attentions. A s the fine clothes they brought him made him look like a gentleman, and set off his person, which was very comely, to the greatest advantage, the king's daughter was mightily taken with his appearance, �20 and the marquis of Carabas had no sooner cast upon her two or three respectful glances, than she became violently in love with him. The k i n g insisted on his getting into the carriage, and taking a ride with them. The cat, enchanted to see how well his scheme was likely to succeed, ran before to a meadow that was reaping, and said to the reapers, " Good people, If you do not tell the king, who will soon pass this way, that the meadow you are reaping belongs to my lord marquis of Carabas, you shall be chopped The k i n g did not fail to ask the reapers to whom the meadow belonged. " T o my lord marquis of Carabas," said they all at once; for the threats of the cat had terribly frightened them. " Y o u have hear a very fine piece of land, my lord marquis," said the king. " T r u l y , sire," replied he, " i t does not fail to bring me every year a plentiful The cat, which still went on before, now came to a field where some other labourers were making sheaves of the corn they had reaped, to whom he said as before, "Good people, if you do not tell the k i n g , who will presently pass this way, that the corn you have reaped in this field belongs to my lord marquis of Carabas, you shall be chopped as small as minced meat." harvest." �J 21 The king accordingly passed a moment after, and inquired to whom the corn he saw belonged. " T o my lord marquis of Carabas," answered they very which the k i n g again complimented the marquis on his noble possessions. g The cat still continued to go before, and gave the same charge to all the people he met with; so that the k i n g was greatly astonished at the splendid fortune of my lord marquis of Carabas. Puss at length arrived at a stately castle, which belonged to an Ogre, the richest ever known; for all the lands the k i n g had passed through and admired were his. The cat took care to learn every particular about the Ogre, and what he could do, and then asked to speak with him, saying, as he entered the room in which he was, that he could not pass so near his castle without doing himself the honour to inquire for his health. The Ogre received him as civilly as an Ogre could do, and desired him to be seated. " I have been informed," said the cat, " that you have the gift of changingyourself or an elephant, for example." It is very true," replied the Ogre somewhat sternly; " a n d to convince you, I will directly take the form of a lion." T h e cat was so much terrified at finding himself so near a lion, �22 that he sprang from him, and climbed to the roof of the house; but not without much difficulty, as his boots were not very fit to walk upon the tiles. Some minutes after, the cat perceiving that the O g r e had quitted the form of a lion, ventured to come down from the tiles, and owned that he had been a good dealfrightened.'1have continued the cat, " but I know not how to believe it, that you have the power of taking the form of the smallest animals also; for example, of changing yourself to a rat or a mouse; I confess I should think this must be impossible." Impossible! you sha see;" and at the same instant he chancer himself into a mouse, and began to frisk about the room. T h e cat no sooner cast his eyes upon the O g r e in this form, than he sprang upon him, and devoured him in an instant. In the mean time the k i n g , admiring, as he came near it, the magnificent castle of the Ogre, ordered his attendants to drive up to the gates, as he wished to take a nearer view of it. The cat, hearing the noise of the Carriage on the drawbridge, immediately came out, saying " Your majesty is Carabas." A n d is this splendid castle your's my lord marquis of Carabas ? welcome �23 I never saw any thing more stately than the Building, or more beautiful than the park and pleasure-grounds around i t ; no doubt the castle is no less magnificent within than without; pray, my lord marquis, indulge me with a sight of it." T h e marquis gave his hand to the young princess as she alighted, and followed the king, who went before; they entered a spacious hall, where they found a splendid collation which the Ogre had prepared for some friends he had that day expected to visit him; but who, hearing that the k i n g with the princess and a great gentleman of the court were within had not dared to enter. T h e k i n g was so much charmed with the amiable qualities and noble fortune of the marquis of Carabas, and the young princess too had fallen so violently in love with him, that when the k i n g had partaken of the collation, and drank a few glasses of wine, he said to the m a r q u i s , " It will be your own fault, my lord marquis of Carabas, if you do not soon become my son-in-law." T h e marquis received the intelligence with a thousand respectful acknowledgments, accepted the honour confered upon him, and married the princess that very day. The cat became a great lord, and never after ran after rats and mice but for his amusement. �24 ANCEDOTE. THE LAWYER AND THE CHIMNEY-SWEEPER.

THREE blind beggars were on their way from Cornpiegne, to seek alms in the neighbourhood. They kept the high road to Seal is, and walked at a great pace, each holding a cup and stick in his hand. A young ecclesiastic, well mounted, who was riding towards Compiegne, and attended by a valet on horseback, was struck at a distance with their steady and rappid strides. " Those fellows," said he, " for men who appear blind, make very firm steps; PJ1 endeavour to find them out, and see if they are not impostors." Accordingly, as he came near them, and as the beggars, hearing the trampling of the horses' feet, had ranged themselves in a line to ask for charity, he called to them, and pretending to give them some money, but in reality giving them nothing, said :— 66 There is a besant; it is intended for you all three; and you will divide it between you." " Yes, your reverence; and may God bless you in return for it!" Although no one of them received the �4 money? yet each was confident his comrade had got it. Thus, after many thanks and good wishes to the horseman, they resumed their march, full of spirits; but at the same dme slackening their pace. The churchman feigned also to proceed on his journey: but at some distance he alighted, and delivering his horse to the care of his valet, directed him to wait his arrival at the gates of Compiegne : he then gently approached the beggars, and followed them, 10 watch the issue of the adventure. When they 110 longer heard the noise of horses, the leader of this little band halted. " Comrades," said he, " we have made a good day's work ; and I think we had best return to Compiegne, and spend the money this good christian hath given us. It is a long time since we have had a carousal: and now we have enough to enjoy ourselves completely, let us think of nothing but pleasure. On their arrival in town, they heard aery of u Good wine!—wine of Soisons!—wine of Auxerre !—lish and good fare! Walkin gentlemen ; pray walk in." They would not go any farther, but enter' d the first house; and after having cautioned the people not tojudge of their means by their outward appearance, (in the tone of men who derive confidence from the weight of their �5 purse) they desired that they might be served quickly and well. Nicholas (for that was the name of the landlord) being used sometimes to see persons of their vocation spend more than such as appear to be much more in affluent circumstances, received them respectfully. He showed them into his best dining-room; begged they would be seated, and order what they liked best; assuring them that there was nothing in Compiegne but what he could set before them, and in a style that would give them perfect satisfaction. They desired that plenty of good tilings mi^ht be got ready; and, instantly, master, waiter, maid, all in the house set about it. A neighbour was even sent for to assist. At length, by virtue of several hands and good speed, they contrived to serve up a good dinner of live dishes; and immediately the beggars sat down to it, laughing, singing, drinking to each other, and diverting themselves with clumsy jokes on the simple traveller who was at the expence of the feast. He had followed them with his valet to the inn, and was within hearing of the merriment.— He even resolved, that he might not lose any part of it, to dine and sup in a snug manner with the landlord. The beggars all this while occupied the best room, �,:nd were waited on like noblemen. Their mirth was thus prolonged till the night was pretty far advanced, when, to make a suitable close to so jovial a day, they each called ft/r a bed, and went to rest. The next morning the landlord, who wanted to get rid of them, sent his servant to call them up. When they were come down stairs, he made out their bill, which amounted to ten pence. That was the moment the mischievous churchman so impatiently expected. To enjoy the transaction more at his ease, he came and posted himself in a corner of the room, but without showing himself, least his presence might be a restraint on the guests. u Master," says the blind men to the landlord, ' ' we have a besant; take your account, and give us our change." He holds out his hand to receive it; and, ns no one offers it him, he asks them again, when each says, " It is not I." The landlord then gets into a passion.— u So, gentlemen vagrants, you think I am to serve here as a butt for your diversion. Be so good as to end all this mockery, and pay me immediately my ten-pence, otherwise I'll give you all three a drubbing." 1 hey then began to enquire of each other for the piece of money—to suspect each other's honesty—to call names—to quarrel; �7 ti!l at length such an uproar and confusion ensued, that the landlord, after giving each of them a box on the ear, called his servant to come down with two good sticks. The ecclesiastic all this while kept laughing in his hiding-place till he was ready to fall into convulsions. But when lie found the affair was becoming serious, and heard them talk of sticks, he came forward, and, with an air of surprise, asked the cause of the quarrel. " Sir, here are three knaves who came yesterday to consume my provisions ; and now I ask them for my due, they have the insolence to mock me. But, by all that's sacred, they shall not get off :n that manner, and before they go out ." " Softly, softly, master Nicholas," said the churchman, "these poor men have not wherewithal to pay you; and, in that case, they deserve rather your pity than your resentment. How much does their bill amount to?" " Ten-pence." " W h a t ! is it for so paltry a sum that you raise all this disturbance? Come, make yourselves easy; I will take it upon myself. And, for my part, what am I to pay you ?" "Five-pence, Sir." " That's enough. I shall pay you fifteenpence ; now let these unfortunate men go; �8 and know that to harass the poor is a sin of the first magnitude." The blind men, who were terrified at the apprehension of the bastinado, made their escape with all possible haste; while Nicholas, who had reckoned 011 losing his ten-pence^ (being delighted to find a person to pay it) launched out into the most flattering encomiums 011 the churchman. " What a good man !" cried he; " that is the kind of priests we should have, and then they would be respected. But, unfortunately, there are lew such ! Be assured, Sir, so handsome an action will not go unrewarded. You will prosper in the world, take my word for it; and will find the good effects of your generosity." All that the crafty traveller had been saying to his host, was but a fresh piece of roguery on his part; for, in luring the inn- . keeper with such ostentation of generosity, he only meant to trick him as he had already done the beggars. Just at that moment the parish-bell was ringing to prayers. He asked who was to perform the service: they told him it wa3 their parson. " As he is your pastor, master Nicholas," he further said, " you are mopt probably acquainted with him ? " Y e s , Sir." �9 " And if lie would engage to pay the fifteen-pence that I owe you, would you not acknowledge us quit ?" " Undoubtedly, Sir, if it were thirty, and you desired it." " Well then, come along with me to the church, and we will speak to him." They went out together; but first the ecclesiastic directed his valet to saddle the horses, and to keep them in readiness. The priest, as they entered the church, had just put on his sacerdotal habit, and was going- to read prayers. u This will keep us very long," said the traveller to his host; 6 6 1 have not time to wait, but must proceed immediately upon my journey. It will satisfy you, I should imagine, to have the parson's word for the money ?" Nicholas having nodded assent, the other went up to the parson, and dexterously slipping into his hand twelve deniers, said :— u Sir, you will pardon my coming so near the pulpit to speak to you; but much ceremony need not be observed between persons of the same condition. I am travelling through your town, and lodged last night at one of your parishioners', whom in all probability you know, and whom you may see hard by. He is a well-meaning man, honest, and entirely exempt f n m vice; but, unfor- �10 tunately, his head is not so sound as his heart; his brain is somewhat cracked: last night one of his fits of madness prevented us all from sleeping. He is a good deal better, thank God, this morning; nevertheless, as his head is still aliected, and full ol religion, he begged we would conduct him to church, and that he might hear you say a prayer, that the Lord may, in his good3iess, restore him to perfect health." " Most cheerfully," answered the parson. He then turned to his parishioner, and said to him, u Friend, wait till I have done the service, when I'll take care that you shall have what you desire." Nicholas, who thought this an ample assurance of what he went for, said 110 more : but attended the traveller back to his inn, wished him a good journey, and then returned to the church to receive his payment from the parson. The latter, as soon as he had performed the service, came with his stole and book towards the innkeeper. " Friend," said he, " go down upon your knees." The other, surprised at this preamble, observed that there was 110 occassion for such ceremony in receiving fifteen-pence. 66 Truly they are not mistaken," said the parson to himself; u this man cannot be in �11 his right senses." Then asuining a tone of soft insinuation, u Come, my good friend," said he, " place your trust in God; he will havre pity on your condition." At the same time he puts the Bible on thp other's head, and begins his prayer.— Nicholas, in anger, pushes away the book; declares he cannot stay to be trifled with, guests being waiting for him at his house; that he wants his fifteen-pence, and has no occasion for prayers. The priest, irritated at this, calls to Lie congregation, as they were going out KA church, and desires thern to seize the ma who was raving. " No, 110! 1 am not mad; and, by Si. Corneille, you shall not trick me in this manner. You engaged to pay me, and 1 will not leave this place till I get my money." " Seize him ! seize him!" cried the priest They accordingly lastened upon the poor devil; one taking hold of his arms, another of his legs, a third clasping him round the middle, while a fourth exhorted him to be composed. He makes violent efforts to gel out of their clutches, swears and foams with rage, like one possessed,—but all in vain ; for the parson puts the stole round his neck, and reads quickly his prayer from beginning to endj without excusing him a single word. - — tJ �After which he sprinkles him copiously with holy water, bestows on him a few benedictions, and lets him loose. The unlucky wight saw clearly that he had been made a dupe—He went home, overwhelmed with shame and vexation at the loss of his fifteen-pence ; but then he had in lieu of them, got a prayer and benediction. �13 THE SOLDIERS WIFE. WALDEN was playing on his flute in a slow and pensive strain, when the mournful cries of a child, and the complaining voice of a woman, struck his ears. 66 Oh ! merciful God ?" exclaimed the poor creature, u hear with compassion the moans of my unhappy babe !" Walden ceased to play, and looking over the hedge, he surveyed the child with compassion, as the woman lay on the grass to rest herself: he asked her, in a soft voice, why the poor infant cried. u He is hungry," replied the wroman, weeping bitterly, u we have not had anything to eat since yesterday morning." u Gracious God! since yesterday morning ! wait here a few minutes, and I will v eturn." He flew away with incredible swiftness, and re-appeared in a short time, with a bowl of milk and a small loaf, towards which the child stretched out his little arms, and the woman to whom he delivered them began to feed it. u Sit down my good woman, and eat of it �* 4 yourself," said Walden, u I will take jarcof your infant." Placing himself on the gTaS3 beside it, he dipped a bit of the loaf in tlie milk, and patiently assisted his little famished charge. The child looked up in his face and smiled: Walden, pleased and affected at this intuitive mark of gratitude, kissed its little forehead. u What is your occupation?" he asked the woman, who was eating with avidity; "you are, I suppose, the mother of this little creature : where do you live ?" u No, it is not my own," replied she, < -and I did not know its parents. I am the wife of a poor soldier, my worthy sir, and I have travelled from beyond Berlin a great way; my husband had been away from me three years, and I wanted to see him again—for I loved him dearly. My own two little children I left with their grandmother, and I sold every thing I did not absolutely want at home, that I might carry him a little trifle of money. Accordingly I set out, and got to the end of my journey just as my husband had marched with his corps to drive a party of Austrians from some little village; so when it was all over, and they had done what they had been ordered, 1 ran to the place to meet him." Here the poor woman burst into tears. �15 u And when I got there lie was dying of his wounds; yet he knew me, and stretched out his hand, saying, < Oh, Annete! our child r e n T h e s e were his last words; I thought I should have died too, but God willed, for the sake of our little ones and this babe, that I shoidd live. In the same house where my poor husband expired, was the wife of an Austrian soldier, who died two days afterwrards, and left this babe, which nobody on earth seemed to take care about. Almost all the village had been burned down, and all the inhabitants had run away; so that when our soldiers marched, I begged them to take the poor child with them ; but then they said to me, 6 What could wre do with it ?' and that was very true; but to let the child stay, and die with hunger, was impossible; so 1 resolved to take it, let what would happen : and I set out to return to my own home, with the babe in mine arms. In my way I was weary enough; but I never met with any body that took compassion on me or my burden, so I walked on; but I fell sick, as you may see by my looks, and spent the little money I had left, and then I sold my clothes and every thing I could spare. All wrent except these poor rags; vet still I thought if I could but get home I should do very well. I am used to hard work, and I could even do for this little creature, who has �16 nobody in the world but me to put a morsel of bread into its poor mouth; so I can't bear to let it starve !" As she said this, she pressed the child to her bosom, and her tears dropped upon it, whilst she repeated, " i f I was but able to work, or I couM but get enough to keep it till I reach my home!" " Poor babe!" said Walden, " poor, yet happy creature, who, in losing her who gave thee birth, found a second mother! eyes that dropt tears of pity on thy lot, and a heart that loves thee! no, thou slialt not from hard necessity be deserted!" Walden then wrote upon a leaf of his pocket-book the name of the woman, and that of the village where she informed him she lived with her family; and giving her a small sum of money, promised that he would remit the same to her every year. The woman, on holding the gold in her hand, which had never contained so much before, exclaimed, " O h ! this is to much, worthy sir:" and being desired to keep it, die added, " w e shall now be rich indeed! my own little ones, and this one, and their grandmother, we shall all be rich !" "Goodcreature!" exclaimed Walden with emotion, " y o u are rich indeed, in a heart to which all other riches are dross! your humanity to this orphan will be better re- �warded ; but if this were my last crown you should have it. Hasten away, or I may be tempted to take the child, to have the pleasure of bringing it up, that it may love me as it will you." On hearing this, the woman hastily pressed the infant to her bosom, and giving Walden a farewell benediction, pursued her journey with alacrity. ) �18 BARON TRENCK. • • BARON TRENCK, at the time of the first war between the king of Prussia and the house of Austria, being young and enterprising, offered himself, with a small band of determined men, to carry off the king of Prussia, when he went out from his camp to reconnoitre the position of the Austrians. In fact, he did attempt the enterprise; but succeeded so ill that he was taken prisoner himself, and condemned to perpetual confinement in the castle of Magdeburgh. The treatment he received was equally singular and cruel. He was chained, standing against the wall; F that, for several years, he coidd neither O sit nor lie down. His gaurds had orders not to let him sleep more than a certain time; very short, but long enough to prevent his strength from being entirely exhausted. He remained four or five years in this dreadfid situation; after which, there being reason to fear he could not live long in that « < state, he was chained in such a manner that he might sit down, which appeared to him to be a great alleviation of his sufferings. He told me himself, that after having suffered �19 severe illness during the first year of his imprisonment, his constitution, which was strong and robust, was so unbroken, that he recovered his health; and though he received no other sustenance than bread and water, yet he was remarkably well, and resumed his former gaiety. In this state of mind he found means to soothe the tedium of so long an imprisonment by making verses; which he set to music as well as he could, and sung for half the day. As he had nothing worse to dread, the king of Prussia was frequently the subject of his songs, and was not spared in them. He also had recourse to the power of imagination, to soothe the horrors of his situation; and the whole time that he did not spend in singing, was passed in turning his ideas to all the agreeable conditions whicli it was possible for him to conceive. He was almost brought to consider these wanderings of his imagination as realities, and to regard his misfortunes as mere dreams. At last the Empress Queen, who for a long time had believed that lie was dead, being informed of his miserable existence, solicited his liberty from the king of Prussia with so much earnestness, that she obtained his release. I saw him at Aix-la-Chapelle, enjoying very good health; having married a handsome woman, the daughter of one of the principal inhabitants of that imperial city, to which �20 lie had retired, that he might not be exposed to the power of an arbitrary goverment. He published several German works, some of which are the fruits of the reflections he made during the time of his imprisonment; some poetry against the king of Prussia, and some details relative to the manner in which he passed his time at MagdeburgL He gave them to me himself; and though his works had no great merit in the style, yet the singularity of his thoughts, and the extraordinary fate of the author, rendered them interesting. What astonished me most in him was, the force of mind, the courage, and the constancy which had supported him in a situation in which there was no hope of his seeing better days. He appeared now to have forgotten the whole, or to recall the remembrance of his past sufferings, only that he might the better enjoy the happiness of his present condition. He was very gay; and there were moments when one might have supposed, without doing him great injustice, that his reason had been in some degree affected by his long confinement; but it was only surprising that this did not appear in a more eminent degree.* * Poor Treiiek, wishing to take a part in the French Revolution, went to Paris in the year 1 7 9 3 , and was guillotined on the 25th of July, 1 7 9 4 , two days before the execution of Robespierre �21 J A C K EASY. 4 But Hmlibras, who scorn'd to stoop To Fortune, or be said to droop, Cheer'd up liiinself with ends of verse, And sayings of philosophers." AMONG the happy people in the world, art those, in whose minds nature or philosophy has placed a kind of acid, with which care or disappointment will not easily mix. This acid differs very much from ill-nature; it is rather a kind of salt, expressed from frequent observations on the folly, the vanity, and the uncertainty of human events; from that best of all philosophy, which teaches us to take men as we find them, and circumstances as they occur, good or bad, for better or lor worse; that dwells not on future prospects, reflects not on past troubles, and cares not a lig for present difficulties, but dexterously turns them to ridicule or advantage; snatching, at every opportunity, accidental pleasures, and nobly bearing up against the rubs of ill-fortune. When reflections upon the troubles of life are mixed up in a disposition naturally illtempered, they compose what is called �22 melancholy; but as they have no chemical affinity with good humour, they will not easily combine; and the small particles that are miscible, produce only the sweet and acid salt of true philosophy. Such a traveller, in his journey through the world, was my honest friend Jack Easy. Jack came to a good fortune at the death of his father, and mounted his hobby without its ever having been properly broken in ; he galloped over the plains of Fancy, went off in a full canter to the road of Dissipation, and leaped over all the five-barred gates of Advice and Discretion. It may naturally be supposed, that before long his filly gave him a fall: poor Jack came down sure enough ; but he only shook himself, brushed off the dirt of the road, and mounted again in as high spirits as ever; excepting, that he nowT began to sit firmer in the saddle, and to look about him : this, however, did not hinder him from getting into a swamp, called a law-suit, where he remained a considerable time before he could get out: his fortune was now reduced from some thousands to a few hundreds; and by this time, no man better knew the way of life than my friend Jack Easy. He had been through all the dirty cross-roads of business, money-borrowing, bankruptcy, and law; and at last arrived at a goal. �23 My friend Jack did not despond; he consoled himself with the reflection that he was a single man; some of his misfortunes were the consequences of his own imprudence, others of unforseen accidents, and most of them originated from his good nature and generosity. He, however, never excused; lie lumped them all together, took them in good part, and blamed nobody but himself; he whistled away his troubles, and often repeated. " I am out of Fortune's power : " H e who is down can sink no lower." The goddess, however, at last put on her best smiles, and paid Jack a visit in the King's-Bench, in the shape of a handsome legacy. Jack smiled at the thing, being, as he called it, so extremely a-propos! and once more mounted his nag. He now rode more cautiously, and turned into the road of Economy, which led to a comfortable inn with the sign of Competency over the door; lie had borrowed a martingale from an old hostler called experience; and for the first time in his life used a curb. He began already to find, that though he did not gallop away as formerly, yet he went on in his journey pleasantly enough. Some dashing riders passed him, laughing at his jog-trot pace; but he had no occassion to envy them long; for presently some of them got into nits, others �24 wore stuck fast in bogs and quagmires, and the rest were thrown from their saddles to the great danger of their necks. Jack Easy, meanwhile, jogged on merrily; hot or cold, wet or dry, he never complained; he now preferred getting off, and opening a gate, to leaping over it; and smiled at an obstacle as at a turnpike, where lie must necessarily pay toll. The man who is contented either to walk, trot, or canter through life, has by much the advantage of his fellow travellers. He suits himself to all paces, and seldom quarrels with the tricks which the jade Fortune is sometimes disposed to play him. You might now see Jack Easy walking his hobby along the road, enjoying the scene around him, with contentment sparkling in his eyes. If the way happened to be crowded with horsemen and carriages, you might observe him very readily taking his own side of the road, and letting them pass. * If it began to rain or blow, Jack only pulled up the collar of his great-coat, flapped his hat, and retreated to the best shelter he could find till the storm was over. Thus my frienu Jack Easy came in with a jog-trot to the end of his journey, leaving his example behind him as a kind of fingerpost for the good of other travellers, FINIS. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

GLASGOW: PRINTED FOR THE BOOKSELLERS. 30 �LITTLE WHITE MOUSE. ANCIENT history furnishes an example of a k i n g and queen so tenderly attached to each other, that nothing was wanting to make their felicity complete. Their wishes and their sentiments corresponded exactly on all subjects; they went frequently to hunt, killing various sorts of game, and the stag often became the object of their amusement, or the victim of their exertions ; they visited the rivers for the diversion of fishing; and, in short, whatever gratified the one, became a source of real delight to the other. Their subjects followed so amiable an example, and thus the happiness of all the nation consisted happy. in mu T h e k i n g of an adjoining state, whose manners and dispositions were directlycontrar k i n g of the L a n d o f Pleasure; for so the country was called, on account of the tranquillity and j o y there. He was a declared enemy to pleasure; �3 he sought for nothing but wounds and bruises; his air was stern and forbiding, with a l o n g beard and hollow eyes. H e was lean and withered always dressed in black ; his bristly locks were dirty and uncombed; there was no way so secure to obtain his favour, but by committing the most atrocious murders or assassinations: he took upon himself the office of public executioner,becausehed suffered. T h i s kingdom was therefore called the L a n d of Tears, T h i s wicked wretch, unworthy to possess a throne, raised an immense army, and determined with it to spread through the territory o f this happy neighbour that desolation which was his greate W h e n all was ready he began his m a r c h ; but the news of his intention reached the K i n g of the L a n d of Pleasure l o n g before the invading best possible state of defence, and waited the attack with firmness and resolution. But the timid disposition of the queen suggested a thousand f e a r s : " Sire' said she, " l e t usfly;let us take the, wealth we possess, and seek that safety in another quarter or the world which we cannot now find here." " I t is m y duty, madam," said the k i n g , to remain and protect m y subjects. I am determined, therefore, to share their army, who put �4 H e then assembled his forces, took a tender leave of the queen, and marched out to meet the enemy. A s soon as he was departed, the queen g a v e way to the excess of her sorrow, and clasping her hands together, " A l a s !" exclaimed should fall in battle, I shall be left a widow, in the power of a cruel monster, and my unborn idea redoubled her affliction. T h e k i n g wrote to her every d a y ; but one morning, when she was watching for the usual messenger, with fear pictured in his countenance, he dismounted immediately, and entering her presence, " O h ! madam," said he, " a l l is lost; the k i n g , is slain, the army defeated, and the ferocious conquerer almost at our backs." she, chil T h e poor queen fell senseless; her attendants carried her to stood weeping round; they tore their hair in the bitterness of their affliction, and no scene in the world could have been more affecting. B u t their sobs and lamentations were soon drowned by the cries that every where spread through the palace of the cruel manner in which the victorious army was desolating the city. T h e wicked k i n g , at the head of his savage troops, was incessantly employed in e x c i t i n g them to acts of cruelty �5 and plunder; and, thus directed, they slew, without discrimination, every person they met. H e entered the palace, and penetrated without ceremony into the most , retiredapartments,whe distresses unmoved, and b y his ferocious manner and brutal threats, added terror to the pangs she felt before. T h u s , too much intimidated to answer a word, this monster of a k i n g , supposed her silence to proceed from sullenness and ill humour; he seized her rudely by the hair, which the negligence of g r i e f had suffered to fall loosely on her shoulders, and then d r a g g i n g her from the bed on which she lay, he through her across his shoulders, and carried her a w a y without remorse; he then mounted with her on his steed, and rode off. She besought him, with tears and supplications, to have pity on her sufferings; but he mocked her cries, and said to her, u Weep on ; your complaints are a source of pleasure and deversion to me." He carried her towards his own capital, and, during the time that he was on the road, he took the most dreadful oaths that he would h a n g her as soon as he readied i t ; but he was soon informed, on his arrival, that the queen was pregnant. W h e n the wicked k i n g knew this, a �6 thought struck him; daughter he could marry her to his son, and to ascertain whether it was a daughter that she should have, he sent for a fairy who lived on the frontiers of his dominions. W h e n she arrived, he entertained her with much more hospitality than he showed to his most intimate friends, and then led her to a tower, in the highest room of which the poor queen was confined. N o t h i n g Could Equal the misery of the poor queen, and the unpleasantness of her apartment. T h e broken casements admitted both the wind and the rain, the flooring was broken in several places, and the damps that ran down the walls were dangerous, especially to a person of so weak a constitution as the queen ; the bed was composed of nothing but an old matress, worse than is found in the habitations o f the poorest class of people, in this miserable condition, the queen passed both day night, weeping bitterly at the thoughts of her own situation, and for the death of the king her husband. T h e fairy's heart was touched so deplorable a s i g h t ; she embraced the queen, and, at the same time, she whispered her ear the following Words: " T a k e courage,madam,your misfortunes will soon be at an end ; I hope soon, to contribute to your happiness." T h e queen was a little �consoled by these words, and earnestlyentreated princess, who had once enjoyed the greatest favours of f o r t u n e ; instead of which, she could now boast of nothing but suffering the greatest misery. T h e y were thus talking together, when the wicked king, g r o w i n g ; impatient, Come, come' said he, " let us not have so many compliments ; I brought you here to inform me whether the queen will have a daughter or s o n ' " She is pregnant of a daughter," replied the fairy, " w h o will be the most beautiful and, most accomplished princess that has ever been seen, and the queen will wish to see her placed in the highest possible situation of rank and honour." " I f she is not very beautiful and accomplished," said the k i n g , " I will h a n g her mother to a tree, with the child at her neck, and nothing shall prevent it." H a v i n g said this, he left the place with the fairy, and took no notice, of the unfortunate queen, who wept bitterly, what shall I do ? I f I have a beautiful little girl, he will give her to his reptile of a son; and if she is u g l y , he will h a n g us both. T o what an extremity am I reduced ! he can never see it ?" T h e time approached when trie little princess thus lamen Cannot I �8 cess was to come into the world, and the gaoler who guarded her g a v e her nothing but three boiled peas and a small bit of black bread for her food during the d a y ; by which she was reduced so thin as to become little else than skin and bone. distress O n e evening while she was employed in spinning, (for the wicked k i n g was so avaricious as him) she saw, entering at a small hole, a pretty little mouse as white as snow. " A h ! pretty creature," exclaimed the queen,, " w h a t do you come here to seek ? I have but three peas to last me all d a y ; begone, i f you wis' not to fast." T h e little mouse ran about here and there, and danced and skipped like a little m o n k e y : the queen was so pleased with it, that she g a v e it the only pea that remained for her supper. " H e r e * said she, " h e r e , poor little t h i n g , eat this: I have got no more; but I g i v e it thee w i l l i n g l y . " T h e instant she had done this, to her great surprise there appeared upon the table two partridges, cooked most wonderfully well, and two pots of preserves, " R e a l l y , "exclaime She ate a little; but, with fasting so l o n g , her appetite was almost gone. She threw down some to the mouse, which, having �9 nibbled them a w a y , began to leap about with more glee than before. T h e next morning very early the gaoler brought the queen three peas, which he had put as usual in a large dish, to mock her sufferings; the little white mouse came softly and ate them all three, as well as the bread. W h e n the queen wished to dine, she found nothing there; at which she was very a n g r y with the mouse. " W h a t a wicked little beast," cried the queen; " i f it continues thus, I shall die with h u n g e r . " A s she was g o i n g to cover the plate which the mouse had left empty, she found it full of all sorts of things good for to e a t : she was very g l a d and ate of them ; but while she was eating, a thought came into her head, that in a few days the k i n g would perhaps kill her child, and she quitted the table to weep. " A h !" ejaculated the disconsolate queen, " i s there no w a y of s a v i n g it ?" A t the same time that she pronounced these words she perceived the mouse p l a y i n g with some straws; she took some of them and began to work, saying, make a covered basket to put m y little daughter in, and g i v e it out of the window to the first charitable person who will take care of it." She then began to work very d i l i g e n t l y ; and she never wanted straw, for the mouse " I f I ha �10 always brought some into the chamber; and as at usual meal-time the queen always gave it the three peas, she found in exchange a number of dishes of the most delicate meats. One day the queen was looking out of the window, to see how long she should make the cord to tie the basket to, when she should let it down, and she perceived an old woman below, leaning upon a stick, who spoke to her thus i know your trouble, and if you wish it, I will serve you." " Alas! my dear friend," replied the queen, " y o u will very much oblige me, if you will come every evening to the bottom of the tower, to receive my child, w h o m 1 will let down to y o u : you must feed and nurse it, and if ever I am rich I will repay you well." " I care for no pecuniary reward," answered the old woman; ' ; but I am very nice in m y eating, and wish for nothing so much as a fat plump mouse. I f you find such a one in your prison, kill i t and throw it to me; your infant will the better for it. When the queen heard this, she began to weep without answering, and the old woman, after having waited a little, asked her why she cried : " Because,' replied the queen, " there only comes into my chamber one little mouse, so pretty and so engaging, find in my heart to kill it," " H o w " replied the old woman, with great anger, " d o �11 you like a little rogue of a mouse, which teats and eats e v e r y t h i n g , better than your own c h i l d ? V e r y well, madam, you are not much to be pitied; remain in the good company you have chosen; I can have plenty of mice without y o u ; so I care but little about i t ; " and, scolding in this manner, she hobbled away. A l t h o u g h the queen had a good repast before her, the mouse played about as u s u a l ; she never raised her eyes from the ground where she had fixed them, and tears ran down her cheeks. O n this same n i g h t the little princess came into the world, and her beauty surpassed all the queen had ever beheld: instead of crying at h smiled on her affectionate parent, and extended her little h a good understanding. T h e queen caressed and kissed her fondly, at the same timesorrowfully i f you fell into the hands of the wicked k i n g , it will cost you your l i f e ; " she shut it up in the basket, with a paper attached to the clothes, on which was written 0 you, whose steps the fav'ring pow'rs direct T o these lone scenes, your generous aid I claim ; M y hapless child, in infant years, protect From sorrow's grasp—and Juliet be her name. A n d h a v i n g turned away for a moment, she �12 looked again, and found the infant dressed in the finest linens and laces: she then kissed it, and shed a torrent of tears, not k n o w i n g how to part with her treasure. A t this moment in came the little mouse, and jumped into the basket. " A h ! little creature," said the queen, cc how much it costs me to save your life ! I shall perhaps lose my dear Juliet. A n y other than me would have killed you for the dainty old woman ; but I could not consent to it. " " Y o u will not repent not so unworthy of your friendship as you suppose." T h e queen was like onethunderstruck,w change to that of a woman, and the paws become hands and feet. A t length the queen, hardly daring to look up, discovered the figure to be the fairy that had visited her before, an her misfortunes and sufferings. " I wished to try the goodness of your heart," said the f a i r y ; " 1 know now that you are virtuous and worthy of m y friendship. Fairies like me, who possess treasures and riches more than I can relate, do not seek so much for the luxuries of life as for friendship, and we seldom find it." " Is it possible, great fairy, exclaimed the queen, " that y o u , who are so powerful and wealthy, find it such a great trouble to g a i n a friend ?" " Yes*" replied �13 she, " b e c a u s e persons seldom love us but for interest; but when you loved me as a little mouse, it seemed from a disinterested motive, and I wished to put you to a still greater trial: I took the figure of an old woman, and it was I who spoke to you at the bottom of the tower; you have always answerd my best expectation." A t these words she embraced the queen, vermilion mouth of the infant princess, and said, " M y pretty little girl, you shall henceforth be your mother's be richer than your father; you shall live an hundred years without illness, wrinkles, or old a g e . " T h e enraptured queen returned thanks, and begged that the fairy would take Juliet away, and be careful of her, adding at the same time, " I g i v e her to be your daughter." T h e fairy accepted the offer, and thanked h e r : she then put the little one into the basket, tower, and h a v i n g again taken the form of a mouse, she descended by the cord; but when she got down, she could not find the child a n y where, and remounting in a fright, " A l l is lost," cried she to the queen, " my enemy Cancaline has j u s t carried away the princess. Y o u must know that she is a cruel fairy, who hates me, and, unhappily, she is older than I am, and has more power. I which she let d �14 know not by what means to get the child out of her wicked hands. " W h e n the queen heard this melancholy account, she almost died with g r i e f ; she wept bitterly, and beseeched her good friend to save her child, at whatever price it m i g h t be done. W h e n the gaoler entered the chamber of the queen, he perceived that she had been delivered, and he went and told the k i n g of it, who came in a great passion to ask for the c h i l d ; but she told him that a fairy, whose name she knew not, had entered the prison, and carried it away by force. A t this the wicked k i n g stamped and bit his lips, with every expression of the most violent rage, " I promised to h a n g thee," said he to the unfortunate queen, " a n d now I will keep m y word. H e then d r a g g e d her by the hair from the place of her confinement to a neighbouring wood, mo just g o i n g to h a n g her, when the fairy, having rendered herself rudely down, and four of his teeth were struck out b y the fall. Before he had time to recover himse victim to a secure retreat i n her magnificent palace. She was there treated with every attention and kindness, and if it had not been for the thoughts of her little daughter, she had once more been h a p p y ; but she was �15 unable to procure a n y intelligence of the infant, though the little white mouse made every exertion in her power for that purpose. A t length, by the progress of time, the queens grief abated, and fifteen years passed away without any change in her situation. A t this period there was great talk all over the kingdom, that the son o f the wicked monarch had fallen in love with the keeper of the poultry, and that the y o u n g woman refused to accept of him for a husband. T h i s extraordinary refusal surprised every one; however, the nuptial dresses were prepared, and the marriage ceremony was soon expected to take place. T h e little white mouse determined to see this extraord had resolution enough to refuse the son of a k i n g , and immediately transported herself to the capital. She entered into the poultry yard, and found he woollen g o w n , with her feet bare, and a cap of goat's skin on her head; l y i n g by her side were magnificent dresses, embroidered with gold and silver, and ornamented with a number of precious stones ; the turkeys and other fowls that surrounded her trampled on and spoiled them. T h u s habited, and thus careless of the splendour that awaited her, the keeper of the poultry sat on a large stone in the middle of �16 the yard, when the k i n g ' s son arrived: he was crooked and humph-backed, and marked with every kind of deformity. " I f you you to be put to death instantly." She answered him4 with disdain, " I will never marry y o u ; you are too u g l y and too pullets, to all the honours you have power to bestow." persist wicked. T h e little white mouse observed her with wonder and admiration; for, though in so a humble dress, she appeared to possess an incomparable beauty. A s soon therefore as the prince retired, the fairy assumed the figure of an old shepherdess. " Good day, fair damsel," said she, " the fowls do credit to your care of them." T h e y o u n g woman raised her eyes, and looked at her with a countenance full of sweetness : " they w i s h ' answered she, " to persuade me to quit m y present employment for a crown which I do not want, and for a husband whom I should despise; pray, good mother, what is your advice ? " " M y child," returned the fairy, " a crown is a dazzling object; but you cannot who wear it." " B u t suppose I do know all this," quickly answered the keeper of the k i n g ' s poultry, " still I would refuse to imagine th accept �17 lation, and know not even the name of those who gave me b i r t h ' " Y o u have their beauty and virtue, m ychild"returnedthe -wise and benevolent fairy, " w h i c h are worth more than a thousand k i n g d o m s ; tell m then who placed you here, since you are without' parents a;nd withou named Cancaline, is the cause that I have been placed here," replied the y o u n g woman she beat me till she almost killed me, without the least p sufferings, one day I ran away from her, and, not k n o w i n g where to g o , I stopped to rest myself in a wood, where the son of the wicked k i n g came by chance to w a l k : he asked if I Would enter his service. I consented, and was poultry; where he came constantly to see them, and always took great notice of them. A l a s ! he soon conceived a violent love for me, and has ever since so teased me with expressions of it, that I in the world." T h i s recital made the fairy suspect she had a t last met with the princess Juliet, and she therefore asked to know her name. " I am called Juliet," added she, modestly; " but who g a v e me that name I never knew." T h e doubts of the fairy were thus instantly removed; she threw herself on the neck of the princess, exclaiming, " J u l i e t , 1 have known �you, l o n g ; I am., delighted to find you so sensible and so lovely ; but I wish you were better dressed ; take the clothes that are obeyed immediately, and t a k i n g from, her head the cap of goat's skin, her beautiful golden hair fell in curls upon her shoulders; then, ; t a k i n g some water from a fountain that ran through the yard., she washed her hands and face, and discovered a complexion more bright and transparent than the choicest pearls of I n d i a ; roses seemed to bloom fresh on her cheeks; coral seemed to form her beautiful m o u t h ; and her eyes shone like the most brilliant diamonds, W h e n she had finished dressing herself, the gracefulness of her form appeared equal to the beauty, of her countenance, and the fairy gazed on her with wonder and delight. before y " P r a y , who d be now, m y dear c h i l d ? " asked the fairy. " R e a l l y , " answered she, " I could fancy myself to be the daughter of some great k i n g . " u Should you be g l a d of it ? " demanded the good mother," replied the princess, " f o r it would g i v e me the power of assisting many that are in distress." "Be happy then," Exclaimed the fairy parents : to-morrow you shall know more." The fairy returned immediately to her �19 palace, where she had left the queen. I bring you, madam," cried she, " ' t h ehappies " what tidings of j o y can come to meT, who •have lost both m y husband and my child ?? " I t is always right to hope," replied the little white mouse, for the fairy had again taken that figure; " I have seen the princess your daughter, and she is more beautiful than the blushes of the d a w n i n g d a y . " She then related the whole of her discovery, at which the queen wept with j o y . " W h o would have thought," said she, " i n the days of m y prosperity, that I should ever bear a daughter to become the keeper ofhensand 'turkeys !" " It is the cruel Cancaline," said the fairy, ^ who, k n o w i n g how I love you, has brought this misery on your child, purposely to v e x m e ; b I am determined," said the q u e e n . " that she shall not marry the prince; pray g o and seek her immediately, and bring her to me."

She said to them, in a sweet and condescending voice, " P r a y whom do you seek h e r e ? " " M a d a m , " said they, " we seek anunfortunat person you seek," replied she; " w h a t do you w a n t ? " H e a r i n g this, they seized her, and h a v i n g tied her hands and feet with cords, lest she should escape, they carried her into the presence of the k i n g . " Well, insolent wretch," said he, " a n d so you are determined not to love my son? He is a thousand times handsomer than y o u ; love him therefore immediately, or I'll have you flayed alive." T h e princess, trembling l i k e an affrighted dove, kneeled before him, and tried to inspire pity in a heart that never felt a n y ; but she pleaded in vain, as the �21 prince insisted upon it, that his father should order her for immediate execution.However,they ment more severe than death, to shut her up for life in a tower, where she would never more see the light of the sun. A t this moment the fairy and the good queen arrived in a flying chariot, and the affectionate mother began to weep bitterly, on hearing the sad fate to which her longlost daughter was just condemned. " Be good comfort," said the fairy, " you shall in the end be made happy, and your enemies be amply punished." T h e princess was bed; the fairy then resumed the form of the little white mouse, and got upon his pillow. Whenever he attempted to sleep she bit his e a r ; at which, being much disturbed, he turned the other side, and she bit at that also, without mercy : he cried out for assistance, and when his attendants came, they found his ears bleeding so fast, that they were seeking about the apartment to find the mouse, she was gone into the prince's room to inflict the same vengeance upon him ; he likewise called his attendants, and h a v i n g shown his wounded ears, made them put a plaster on each. T h e little white mouse, in the mean time, returned to the k i n g , and conveyed to the tow unable to stop h �22 she bit his nose and gnawed his face i n several places: he put up his hands to delend his face, and she bit his fingers; he cried out, " M e r c y ! m e r c y ! I am l o s t ; , , and, while his mouth was thus open, the little white mouse entered it, and bit a piece off his t o n g u e : his attendants came in once more ; but he was now unable to speak to them, his tongue was so severely wounded; so he made signs that it was a mouse that had thus wounded him, and every corner of the room was immediately examined to find the offender, but in vain, she was gone to to pay a visit to the prince, and to treat him much worse than she had treated his father. She ate out one of his eyes, which left him in total darkness; for he was blind of the other before. H e leaped out of bed instantly, apartment of his father, who also had taken his sword, storming and swearing that he Would kill every one who came in his way till the mouse was found. W h e n he saw his son in such a passion, he scolded him, and the prince, whose ears were burning with pain, not k n o w i n g the voice of his father, attacked him furiously.

T h e good fairy, who had seen all that passed, went immediately to seek the queen, and they went together to the black tower, where the princess Juliet was confined under more than forty locks. T h e fairy struck three times with a little r i n g on the great door, which opened instantly, as did all the rest; they found the poor princess very thoughtful, and with scarcely spirits to speak a word. T h e queen ran to embrace h e r ; " M y dear child, I am thy mother, the queen of the L a n d of P l e a s u r e ! "exclaimed of her birth. W h e n Juliet heard these happy tidings, she was as near d y i n g with j o y as she had been near d y i n g with g r i e f : she threw herself at the feet of the queen, embraced her knees, and we the tears she shed upon them. She likewise carressed the good fairy, who had conferred so many obligations on them both. The fairy said to them, " It is not time now to think of amusing ourselves; let us g o to �24 the great hall of the castle and harangue the people." She walked first, with a g r a v e and majestic next came the queen in robes suitable to her r a n k ; the princess followed, decorated in a splendid habit, which the fairy had brought her for the occasion ; but distinguished much more by her native modesty and the lustre of her beauty, which had never before been equalled. They bowed gracefully to every one they met by the w a y , whether rich or poor, and by this condescension attracted the notice of every one. W h e n the great hall was full, the good fairy said to the subjects of the deceased tyrant, that she would recommend them to choose for their sovereign the daughter of a neighbouring k i n g , whom she then presented to them. " Under so amiable a queen," said she, " you cannot fail to live in a state of continual happiness and tranquillity." A t these words the people cried out with one voice, " Y e s ! y e s ! we choose her for our queen, and we trust she will make us amends for the miseries we have so l o n g endured A s soon as the intelligence was generally known, joy spread throughout the city, and every sort of business was laid aside, to give place to feasting and merriment.
