A !MUCH FROM ENOUSH HISTORY•

are neither thieves nor wanderers, slight offences
may be in these signal limes of despotism 'and in•
justice—but men hunted down like wild beasts to
the cause of civil and religious freedom. It is for
our lives we implore, your aid."
Yea, for our lives—that wo may be spared to
trample the sons of Belial under our feet, and
smile and slay arid destroy the arch tools of uppres•
,ion !" interrupted the other, iwtth riolent,gesticula-
hions; "and thou, woman, an the chosen vesseiof
:he Lori to shield tus terrants.from the man of
'.blood against that dreadful day of retribution !"
" I ask not to know why ere thus thrown with n
peril of your hew," answered the Laity Alice, " it.
is enough for me that you are fellow being in dis
tres.s, anil as such must claim my sympathy, and
the shelter of my roof God forbid the doors of
Alice Lisle should be closed against misfortune.—
Follow lac, then, 'Fiend:a, and such food as my
house affords, and such Security as its walls can
give, may the Lord bless unto you."
Confident in the attachment and fidelity of her
domestics, the Lady Alice, in a fear words, made
known to them that the tires of these unfortunate
men were in jeopardy, and that they sought from
her kindness safely, anti concealment, and shar
ing in the benevolence of their mistress, each one
of that well'tried household regarded the fugitives
with generous sympathy.
An excellent supper such as their famishing na
tures required, and a bottle of old wine, was socin
Placed before the weary - men. They were then
conducted by the Lady Alice herself to a room on
the ground floor.
"ON - erre," " this oaken panel—press
your finger thus:. a door opens, leading into a se.
cret passaze connected with the vaults of the old
chapel. where, in case of emergency, you will.be
pet fectly secure from search. Sleep, then, my
friends in peace, one of my most faithful servants
will this night keep watch, and upon the least
alarm. yon will be notified in time to avail your
selves of the tray of escape I have pointed out."
As she bade them good night, one of the men
seizing the hem of her mantle, carried it to his lips
with a grace not unfitting the presence of a queen
while in th canting oratory of the day ; hie com
panion devoutly prayed the Most High to bless the
woman, through whose assistance vengeance was
yet to be heaped ft the lead of the scorner, and
those who now sat in high places to be brought
low.
Anil thus fortified and encouraged by the ossu.
rances of their noble benehictress,,the fugitives
took heart, and throwing themselves upon the bed,
were soon soundly sleeping.
Not.so the. Lady Mice. True, these men had no:
revealed their near, neither had she sought to
discover who they were, or for what crime they
were driven to their present strai:—yet that they
fled the wrath of the cruel minded Jamey, she felt
persuaded. and leatlul that with histAmidoos he

All, however, remained quiet. J 1351 at the eta) be

not me.ming to sleep. But orencrrine with the fa
:cue of her lonely watch and, lulled perhaps
the sermity which almost always comes to 1h -
rya:cher with the dawn of day, she soon tinconst. -i
-orekty sunk into a deep sleep, torn whirl, alas !she
was but too rudely aroused ; for evert in that brief
half hour when tired nature claimed its own, the
wily Jeffreys had surrounded the house withhis no
le brutal soldiers.
" Came ) come, madam, bestir piurself—you are

"Infamous, Cowardly wretch," replied Alice .

• "Ho-ho, are we so brave! here, my men, take
this boasting mistress, and give her a dance upon
hot pals!" cried the ferocious Jeffrey. _
At that instant little Edwin, still in his nightdress
opened the door of nis little bell-room, and ran ter
rified toward tho Lady Alice;.but he was not per
mined to reach her; a soiJier seized the poor boy
by the shoulder, and notwithstanding his shrieks,
he.d him with such a grip as left the print of hill
finger upon the tender flesh.
"Rutlain unhand the child !" exclaimel the la.'
sly, attempting to rise, but held - back by the iron
hand ofieffrecs.
"Hi a. pretty hostage, truly F r he said. " Here,
Ratcliffe, draw your dagger across his pretty white
throat, unless this stubborn woman yields up our
prey—do you hear their turning to the Lady Al
ice.
" 0 save me—save me! don . l let them kill me!''
scre:ched the poor fellow, striving to break away ;
then turning 'ais be-tutiful eves upon the stem fea
tures of the man who held him. he clung piteous
ly around his knees, repeating his cry fur mercy,
hie face uplifted, and his soft, golden curls falling
over his white shoulders ; from %% bleb the loose
night-dres.s had sltppd•l away.
Tears, which neither her ewn clautter. or the in.
suits heaped upon her could draw forth. now
streamed down the pallid check of the Lady Alice.
":\r2 you men!" Act-tied, wining to the rude
soldiers, `• are you men, and can you Muhl by and
see that innocent, helpless lamb inhumanly mur

" Ah r - cried Je:flreys, with a hideous leer, " we
are used to butchering lambs, madam ; bless you,
we do it so easy the poor things don't have time
to bleat! Strike, Ratcliffe 1 :'
A scream—a n. rid scream of agony burst from the
heart of Nice Lisle; then dashing of/ the arm of
Jeffreys. in the strength of her despair, as but a
feather's weight, she sprung to the boy, and threw
her arms around him.
There was heard at the moment a fond shout
from the court yard, coupled with oaths and impre
cations, and one of the troop burst in waving his
cap.
, ' Hurra, your honor ! they're caught, your wor
ship; we've got the rascals—Mora l—liurra!"'
"Now God help them!" murmured Alice.
"Sour life shalt answer for this, rile traitress r
murmured Jeffreys, in a voice hoarse with rage, and
shakirig his fist at the onshrinking heroine. "But

to the bearer of !Del fiendish joy.

Many. of the jurors were of the most trpeetsble
men of Hampshire, and all shrunk from conricang
an amiable mid exemplaiffrrnale, for a crime (if
crime it could be called) which certainly arose,
from the noblest and purest emotions of the -hear.
But Jeffrys was not so easily to be robbed of his
prey.
Witnesmak, forestalled by his vindictive spirit, ap
peared against her, and those a ho would have tes
tified in her tarot, were so put down by the bold
faced cunning of these hirelings, as to do more imp
than good to the cause which, the: came to sus

The Lady Alice was then called upon for her

She was here intemiped by en insolent remark
from the judge ; and if allowed again to 'Twat, it

The jury retired, their sympathies more than

but only to sac to it t'in.y doubted whether the charge I
had been made out. Jefrrys expastulated with
them vehemently, and after another consultation,
they gave a reluctant verdict of "Guilty!"*
This was received by demoniac joy by Jaffrys.
e, ho immediately proceeiled to pass sentence,
which wait; that the - most unfortunate Alice Lisle
should that teeny afternoon be &trued abet!
This dreadful sentence caused universal horror
and molted the pity even of the most devoted sup
porters of the king. The judge was overwhelmed
with petitions and pray err for mercy ; but the only
!nervy he granted was a few days delay ere the
dn.:Lehi! sentene eshould be accomplished.
Dining that time the royal clemency was eager
ily solicited. at-d many persons of the highest Tank
interceded with Jame. for the release of Mice
1 Lisle. Ladies of the Curt entreated his mercy.— .
Fever-sham, flushed with recent vietoty, pleaded
for her ; and even Clarendon, the brother-in-Law of
the king. spoke in her behalt.

It was all in.rain.
Scarcely ktecruel than his cruel jo.! , ,te, James

Our Naval Power.
M U') NONI:
The London Times says that. coirtidering the
vigilance with a hicli the Americans hive main
tamed the general eilectivencss of their navy, it
seems singular that they should have taken ocipar.
ticuthr pains to augment if ; a!thn' relit arkably at-
tenure to armaments and docks. There neverhas ;
been, at any Feria!, a desire on the f an of our
people to Lielea.e the navy to any extent beyond
what was neck-a-al, - to protect the inter es ts of com
merce in various pans_ of the worl.l. What bare
the 646 ships of war achieved far Endantl. A hes
ry national debt, the tide of •r mistress of the seas,"
an a never t.ti.ing . desi-e far par and glory.
But ice have a ruzitute with more, and in fact
more poterv, than all the navy of England and
that is our private armed _marine: In the event of
war, more than SOO` s - trifi sailing privateers will
scour the ocean in -every direction. Every large
steamship, and every packet of 1,00 tons will have
an armament. There will be no nary in the world
to equal to it; bet as such an armament could
grow out of the contingency of war, there is no
necessity to expend a dollar in anticipation of
such an issue.
We are propably the tricot reina.L•able people
on earth f,r Frampmess and preparalion for war af
ter it rxii-tor. A viirtab.e cope of 200,600 men ;
armed, equipped and diAciplined, can be ready for
the field in thirty days•after wax- is declared, and
so it may be used of abipe of *war. We Will state
one fact illustrative o( this position. During the
war with England, acd while stationed oa the Bar
bary coast, we were surpris e d one day, while er:-
&win the rains of Carthage, to see a sharp clip
per built schooner under 101 l sail, with the Ameri-.
can flag floating to a brisk breeze, doubling Cape
making direct far the bay. We rode
down to the fortress of Gnletta, ordered a launch
to be made ready, and found ouceelses idoct,pile

appended nearly as large as ore of oar western
cheeses, and coThmenced reading as follows ;
"It is .further- stipulated, and agreed upcu that

lt was rimless to argue the- point frinher.--,-We
did- not in any shape cove within the purview of
that treaty, so permission was given to land the
goods, and the ships and cargoes, consisting of
every variety of merchandise, were sold in a sin
