Edmnnd and Arthnr PoI
In the summer of 1662. when Queen Ellr.a
etn wai tn lha prime or her jouth ami beauty,
an astrologer named Prestal, pretending tuat
. e bad ca.t her horoscope, aflimied tuat she
would die in ,the following eprmjr. whyn her
. eiown would devolve bv ris-bt on Mary, ex
Queen of Frunce and relnulnR Q-iecn of Boots.
When Edmnud and Arthur t'oio (nephew of
CaruiDsl Pole) benrd of tbis prophecy, they
thought it would beseem tbem. as members or
tbe rojal family, to prepnr tor the cominir-in
of Mary by raising a body of troops and ihrow
toKthem into Waits. Mary waiyoumr. and a
widow; and some one wintered to these poor
boa that una mhrbt oiurry K Imuud. who woald
then beoome king, and make his brother Arthur
Dukeot Clarence. '
Uurgblev seized them at the Dolphin Tavern,
en Bankslde, near the Olobe playhouse, at they
were ftolng to take bom for Flanders. Carried
before tbe Council, they protested thl tbey had
ever sought their sovereign', lite; that they
kad never dreamt of laying hands upon her
crown; that their aim, however wrune, hud been
confined to bringing in the true heir when her
tbrone was vacant. Hut their name was ag tludt
them : a fury found tbem guilty of hich trea
tonjasd a judge condemned them to dio a trai
tors death.
KduiuLd was barely twenty, Arthur about
thirty, when they were captured at liankvkle.
Their youth, and perhaps their folly, pleided
lor tbem with the Queen, who had never yet.
sinned a warrant tor any political offender's
death. She kit the two brothers the consola
tion of each other's cociety in the Beaucnanp
tower; Edmund sleeping in the upper, and
Arthur in tbe lower room. Each has left
tracings ou the wall; the sadder, as I think:,
tbote of tbe younger and more innocent boy.
In tbe first yeiir of his Imprisonment the
joung Flantagenet wrote In the etoue:

Six years later there 19 a second inscription,
now iilegiole, from his hand?. Half way down
tbe winding elair, in a narrow slit through the
HiatiODry, he must have sat very often, with the
gay lite ot the river ppread out before him, the
ships coming up and going dowa, tbe horsemen
with their swor is Bud plumes, thechildrcn play
ing on the bank, the countryfolks staring at
the lions, and a little larther off the proces
sions on the bridge. From his seat ou the
stairs he could tee the fatal spot near ht.

was luckier than many other princes of his race.

been drowned iu the Buyer tower; his grand
mother, Margaret of Salisbury, had been hacked
to pieces on Tower (Jreen; his lather had been
executed ou Tower Hill, Compared with the
most ot his race wno inherited the curse othis
rojal blood-his fate was mild; since he fell into
trouble in that golden time of Elizabeth's
reign, when the laud was free from any stain
of blood. As in the upper room, so on
the s'alrcase. he hffs left two records
of his long imprisonment. In the
the ships, tbe river, and the bridge, the
church of St. Marj's and the playhouse at

ARTHUR POOLE '

A P.
The two prince? pined and died In the Tower,
-wken their aehes were laid in St. Peter's Cnurch.
The Princess Sfarenret.
Margaret's career as a princess living at the
Inglish court may be divided into two parts:
The first parts records her love affairs until her
marriage with her kinsman, Matthew, Earl of
Lennox; the tecond part records tbe intrigues
"which led her son. Lord Darnley. to the consort-
i . tvrM3 r nt HrM t art rl utwI n w I .. rl with hie miirilni
at tbe Kirk of Field.
v When Margaret came to London, at the age
' of fourteen, she lived with her aunt Mary Tudor,
Vueen or France, who. lite tier on mother.
tbe Queen ot hcots, had married again for love.
Tbence she went to Branlieu, the house of her
cousin Mary, nntil tbe birih of Elizabeth, when
the King, her uncle, gave her a regular place at
court as first lady ot honor to his iutant child.
She was then eighteen. Like all tbe ladies of her
- kin, the was apt to fall in love. While Bhe was
Jet a girl, some passages between her and Murray
ad alarmed her friends alii when she met in the
house of Anne Boleyn theyouugand handsome
Lord Thomas Howard, she set the court in a
i'lf b' kfr openrireterence for this kinsman
of the Queen. Howard . was encouraged by
. ut, iu prets ms bui' una Margaret, in her
-if DLB0,me-moCl, was very soon tempted, into
piitnup- ner ttQih t0 the man 8Qe iow3.
xnat act of devotion cost Lord Thomas How
: "ttrd his liberty and life. The young lady stood
too near the throne for any man to dream of
atking her hand, unless with the King's consent
to woo and wed. Henry was much perplexed
. about his crown. His daughter Mary had been
tainted in her birth. Iu no loi g time his secoud
daughter was to fall under tbe same dark stain,
lie had no son; and, in the absence ot heirs,
his crown would go to the children of his elder
ieter, the Queen of Scots. These
children were James the Fifth and this
Princess Margaret. Janes was barred by
the Allen act, so that Margaret was
in fact tbe King's lawlul heir. Had Henry died
before his son was born, Margaret would have
keen called to tbe tbrone.
Tbe lettlemeut in lite ot such a lady was a
. state affair ot hardly less moment than tbe mar
riage of Henry himself. When, therefore, tho
King beard of a contract having been made by
Lord Thomas with the young princess, he Rave
instant order to have the offender quickly
eeized and safely lodge 1. bliort work was made
with him. A bill of attainder passed; and
Howard, condensed to di for his love, was left
- to linger out his lite in the Tower, where he
" slowly pined to death dyuv, if his noble kins
man, the poet Surrey, may be credited, lor the
love 01 his betrothed.
The Princess Margaret was sent to the con
tent at bion, on ihe Thames, where she was
Tlaced ODder thu medal care of the lady abbess,
with instructions that she should be allowed to
walk In tbe garden by the river bide, though
in other things she was still to be considered as
the King's prisoner rather than his niece.
To this affair ot Howard and Princess Marga
jet we owe tbe firtst rojal Marriage Act, which
made it treason tor any man to many, nuleos
with the king's consent, given under tbe great
eal, any daughter, slater, auut or niece of the
rnteninir DrlLce.
Bv and by the Princess found a fresh adorer
tn Charles, a ton of Lord William Howard; but
this allair was less grave, tiucs iuo iov;rn ex
' changed kisses only, and no troth was plighted
" on tbe lady's side. Sfet Henry thougut it well
to eeiid Cranmer to his niece with a view to
4isuade b?r trom plnying, ns it were, with tire.
Then rnso tho quefetion as to bow a Tudor girl
could be hindt red from falling luio love? Only
cue way was known) and by good advice this
-way was followed by tbe king. At the age of
'. thirty tbe was given in wedlock to her ktu-man
- Matthew, fourth Earl ot Lennox a man who
" not only loved her well, but, as a partisan of
England, seemed likely to prevent bcr leettrom
' (siiMviug into danserous wajs. Ho ended, in a
' batpy n.arriagc, the fiist stage ot Princess -Mar-caret's
life. '
To tbe Earl of I.enuot 6he bore two eons,
Henry cod Uburlcrf, i-nnces of the b.ood royul,
who were reeopnized and educ itod at the Log
l)8h court. King Henry bestowed o his niece
that abbey of Jervaolx io which Adam Sel
bnrgh had reared his horses and made his
cbe'e.
Unhappily, Margaret and Ellnab ith were not
good friends, and when EiizHbciti came to the
throne tbe princess tell out of favor. Many
things divided them Mxne personal, others
political. Margaret is said to have done a wrong
to the princess when a girl which the Queen
conld not forget pnt some slur upon her title;
a slur which, coming trom a woman whose
father and mother Were deicrlbed
In a papal brief a having never been mar
ried at all, the proud girl could not stomach..
Margaret was a pretender alxo; a preteuder'
backed by a large and turbulent party. She
was a Catholic, like her niece the Queen of
tcots. Herhusbaud was a Catholic; and hfr
tons, Henry an-t Charles, had been secretly
brought up In tbetr mother's tilth, Thos tho
Catholic gentry reaped the laa benefit of
having a race of Lnglich princes oil' their side.
Lord Darnley, the elder boy, was from his
cradle the bot e and boast of an army of fanatics
strong enough tocam-e theQueeu much trouble,
since It was reckoutd by very shrewd heals to
comprise two out of every three country
squires rich enough to hold commissions in the
peace.
While these piince9 were yet boys, they were
left in peace; but as tbey grew in years their
mother Marg:irct began to dream of a crown for
her elder sou. Lennox adopted her ideas.
Tbetr hope w as to ma cb Lord Uaruley wita his
cousin, the Queeu oi bcots; a project which they
ktiew that the Queen ot England would never
brook; but which tbey trusted by craft and
during to bring about even th'jusia it should
drive her wild with rage.
Knowing Lord Darnley aud the Queen of
Scots, Elizabeth felt tuat this boy of uineteen
was no bu-baul tor this widow ot twenty-three.
Boding evil of every kind irom such a
match, the set ber lace agalust it. even
though she could not punish either the
reckless boy or the wiltul queen. Lennox
prersed bis suit. Darnley made a friend of
Kizzio; and Mary, in face of the remonstrance
of her brotner Murray, the best man in ber
court, cave her hand to tbe youth who, of all
her suitors, was tbe most objectionable in
Enehsb eyes.
wnenuewsor tueir private marriage, whtcu
took place in Bizzio's chamber, reached Lon
don, tbe Queen could not believe it. Then
came the public rite, tho revolt of Murray,
anu ine mousana uouoies wnicn louowea in
their train. More than once the thought of
tending au army across thu border came into
fcl zuoeth'B mind; but the uieeu controlled her
temper, und left the Scottish drama to end in
its owu dark way.
Margaret's confinement in the lower, though
close, was far fiom being bursb. The best
rooms in tbe Lieutenant's bouse were given up
to her uso and that of her attendants, and
were lurnitnea anew wit n aira$, tables, stools,
and plate. A fiteoau was put iu her room.
which was supplied with ewers and drinking
cups becoming ber estate, Two ladies, a rqild.
Quo gonilehlaft. and ft .VColiluii were received in
ber train and lodgeu at the public cost in the
Lieutenant's hvme.
In this state the daughter of Queen Margaret
lay in the Tower. Mews came to her trom her
son. She beard if tbe private marriage iu
Kizzio's room; of that sceue iu the kirk where
Knox inveighed agairst the rule of women and
boys; of the H'abt of Murray ; ot the quarrels of
Darnley and Mury; ot the murder ot ll zzio; of
the ominous icconciliation of Murray and the
Queen ; and of the perilous situation of that ton
tor whom the was enduring her sharp restraint.
Few rays ot comfort ever reached her cell.
Lennox neglected, Darnley torgot her. Of
couree, sho found her situatiou bad. Her
rooms were small, her means were scant.
Wben her cries reached the throne,
Elizabeth sent her Lord Treasurer, the Marquis
ot Winchester, to "look into her ca e and make
things straight, if the royal lady would show
him the way to do it. Margaret w juld not help
the Marquis. In ttu'h, her case was not one to
be metbyaiew honeyed words and alow trifling
cares. Her misery was that the had married a
faithless hufbarulj that she had borne a faithless
ton, thai she Was blade the pledge Oi'uu unpopu
lar cause.
Then came the blow which was to end their
strife. Darnley was murdered at tbe Kirk of
Field, the victim of his b 'autitul and perddious
wife. Ou this news reaching Loudon, the
Queen tent down to her lieutenant, and set her '
captive tree. All the evil she had feared was
come to pass; and though fihe could never love
ber cousin, tbe would not add the misery
of confinement to tbe Agonies of a breakiug
heart. ,
After Queen Mary h been driven out of her
kingdom, aud Murray had been shot, Lennox
was appoiuted Regent. Like Murray, he fell
by an assassin's hand. Margaret, who stayed
in London, tank into poverty and obscurity;
only broken by fresh troubles in the marriage
of her secoud sou. Charles, to Elizabeth Cavcu-
ditb. She died at last so poor, that her funeral
had to be couducted at the Qneen's expense;
when she was bjrne in a stale procession to the
great abbey where she lies among the kings and
prlDces of her race.
When the princess died, her elder son's only
child, James 8 uart, was a ouug man; ber
younger son's only child, Arabellu Stuart, was u
little girl. The boy, a dull fellow, was to wear
tbe English crown; the girl, a fair, bright crea
ture, was to be one of that dull boy's captive.
Ja the Tower.
KIiMlcal Notes.
Madame Lneea has reappeared in Berlin,
&s "Zerlina," Ilerr Beta assuming the charac
ter of 'Don J nan." !
Herr Wagner's Meistemiinqer has been
brought out in Carlsruhe it would seem with
extraordinary success.
Herr Odoar Paul, editor of the Tonhalle,
has be'n appointed Professor of the History of
Music in the Leipsio Conservatoire, in the
room of the late Brendel.
Tbe Rossfal celebration at Pesaro is not
to take place before August next. Chern
bini's Jiequiem, tbe very finest in being, and
"The Swan'a" Utabat Mater, are.to be per
formed. Various Italian journals, whioh, however,
are not to be implicitly trusted, speak favor
ably of Penelope, a new opera giticosa, by
Hignor Rota, recently brought out at the
Teatro Comunale of Trieste.
Rossini left three millions of francs. An
Italian paper states that according to a oodioil
found after the will, tbe city of Pesaro is enti
tled immediately to all the composer's pro
perty in Italy on oondition that fifty per cent,
of it is paid to the widow.
Tbe programme of the next Lower Rhentsh
Festival, to take plaoe at Whitsuntide at Dus
seldorf, has been arranged. Handel's Joshua
will occupy the first day; the second will ba
taken up by one of Baou'a Cantatas, the
second part of V he Seasons, and Mendelssohn's
Lobtjeiarij-wiii the third day will be reserved
for the solo performers, Among these will be
Herr Joachim and bis lady.
The Able Liszt Las been playing at Wei
mar, at a conceit given in celebration of the
birthday cf Princess Marie. It is said that
the eocentrio pianist has brought from Rome
a youth, named Catnillo Giucui, who is en
dowed with extraordinary musical taleut. It
1b a strange eigu of the times that the Italian
youth, a compatriot of Bpontiui, both having
been born in the same district, Las been placed
in the Conservatoire of Munich to completa
bis education, under tbe guidanoe of Herr
UaDS von Buiow, a disciple of tbe wrong
beaded author of Lohengrin.
News of ceremonial performances In
honor of Rossini oontinue to reach us. For
instance, in Padua, a solemn mass to his
memory has teen performed, adapted from
bis own woika by Bignor Balbi. As a matter
of curiosity, we note tbe source of each
movement. The 'Kyrle" was adapted to the
"Caiita" chorufl, the beginning of the "Can
tlca dei morti" to the burasca of Guillaume
'J til, the ' "Juste Judex ultionU" to the
choiiiB of judges to "La Gam Ladra," the
'Irgemlsoo" to tbe "Quia est homo" of tbe
Stabai Mater, the "Confutatis tnaledlotia" to a
chorus In Semiramide, the Laorymosa" to
the finale "Quel mesto getnito" in the same
opera, and the "Agnus Dei" to the prayer la
Most (1) Many of the above operatio selec
tions are solemn enough, even for a funeral
servioe; but if there is anything at all in the
association of ideas, those called up in the
minds of tbe hearers cannot have been alto
gether suitable to the churoh in whlob, they
were seated.
Halevy's Juive has been played lately at
La Fenioe, in Venice, where Don Sebastian is
now being rehearsed. The Athemeum says:
"Neither of these operas is particularly lively,
but Still the constant variety in tha rnrrtmr
of continental houses puts to shame our
steady adherence to the same dull round of
hackneyed works. It is interesting to note
how many operas negleoted by ns are now
being played in the different cities of the
peninsula. At Padua tbey are playing Gio
vanna d'Arco, promised by Mr. Oye last year,
but not produced; at the Carlo Felioe of Genoa,
1'oliuto, known to us as 1 Martiri, is the opera,
while Pacini's SaJJo is being given at the small
Teatro Doria of the same thriving oity; at Reg
gio it is dueFoscari; at Turin the same opera,
betides La Vontessa d'AmaIJi, and Signor
Rieci's 67 1 Esposti; at Mantna, Signor Petrel
la's Celinda; at Ravenna, the same master's
melodious lone, founded on Lord Lytton's
novel; while at the gigantio Ban Carlo, in
Naples, Parisina, La Utraniera, and Signor
Mercadante's Virginia are -being alternately
played. The weakest of these works would
be a relief from the monotony of our fare. Bat
there is no chance of new operas being studied
nntil we establish for that purpose a perma
nent theatre which shall be independent of
our short fashionable season."
