So, getting desperate, Earl Robert Called tined'. er the bravest ofthis friends, threw up his title, as same(' the name of Robin Hood, and took 10 the forest, where he led front that time a daring and dangerous but independent life I know it is quite too late to think otinaking my hero out a good, honest man, though Mr Abbott has done wonders in that way for Bonaparte—tor long, long ago it got noised about that Rohin Hood uas a robber and outlaw. But in those old dam when kings rob bed, and barons robbed and priests robbed worse than all, the thieving business was a god deal more respectable than it now is, and the only dill erence between Robin Hood and the others was, that he took only from the rich arid powerful, while they lobbed the poor and defenceless. he brave outlaw was joined by the beat arch era in the country, to the number of a hundred stout Men and bold. These men he clad all in Lincolr. gtien, b dress which made it hard to distinguish them, at a little distance how the forest foliage amid which tilt*. linked. When any one of these matt was killed, dt look the attange notion to return io his friends and turn honest man again, Robin Hood would set on a recanting expedition.

So he kept himself in his hundred =heti, and with them haunted the merry greetiwtiod=Earnedtile In torkshire, Plompton Faik, in . Cumberland, and Sherwood in Nottie.

Instantly, fifty men in Lincoln green burst into the church and dispersed the bridal party--all but the now happy bride and the frightened priest, whom Robin Hood commanded to thirty the faithful pair at once. It wai done, and ever after, Will 'Scar• locks was the fast friend of Robin Huod One day in pursuing a deer, Robin Hood wasted into the park of the Earl of Fitzwater. There, be suddenly heard voices aud.trampling of horses, and soon saw a mail clad knight, followed by all men at•arms, and leading bt the bridle a paltry, on which eat a lovely lady, weeping and wringing her Minds. This maiden robin Hood recognized at once as the young-Lady Matilda, nrily daughtei of the Etri of Fitzwater. Thetigh quitti iilone, he did not hesitate, but sprang forward before the par ty, crying—" Hold, then false knight I 1 conamand thee to let that noble lady go freer' " Stand oil, thou unmannerly churl, or I will cleave thy skull with thy broadsword—know thou that I am John, thy prince !" " And know thou," replied the outlaw, " that I am Robin Hoed, king of Sherwood Forest." At these words all siX of the men-at-tirrna pin spurs to their horses and fled and the prince was glad to follow, scowling and cursing as be Went.— Then Lady Matilda, who seems to have been rather of a romantic young woman, tainted, and fell into Robin Hood's arms, And he, not know ing exactly what to do for a lady in such a CaSe, carried her to a brook, and was about to dip her head in the water, then she suddenly came to herself. She then related to her preierier hoW that bad prince,whom she bad hated with all her might, bad long been urging her to go with him to bis wicked men ; and how that afternoon, While she was walking in the park, he bad surprised and car ned her off. She told this story, reclining on mos sy bank, with Robin Hood silting at her feet, look ing up into her face. At fait the tWiligfit shatlow•s began to fall, then he sighed, and said—" It is get. ting late late, my lady, shall f conduct you home'!" But the Lady Matilda bent toward him, blushing and speaking very softly, and said, " you have sav ed me from shame and sorrow, henceforth f betong to you." Robin Hood started up gladly, then Rank back sadder than before, and said, " No, lady, no ; you have been too delicately reared for an outlaw's wife." He then told her that thought she might not dis like forest life in the summertime, yet when the fall rains and winter hosts came, she would find ill ; cave in which he lived dark and chill, and woul sigh for her father's castle balls. But Lady Matilda was strong and healthful and had little fears for colds and rhumatism ; she thought Robin Hood excessively handsome, and fancied That he would be the best protector against that Ciaiighty prince she could have; so she ',inked in. to his face with her beautiful blue, beseeching:eyes till he echild resist her no longer, but lilting her on her palfrey, and walked by her side toward Sher wood forest, talking to her, holding her hand, and loving her Better and better every step. They Were Married at the tamp by jolly friar Tuck, and had a merry weding-feast. The next day Ro bin Hood and his wife, who hall taken the name of Marian, sent a Messenger to the Earl of Fitzwater, telling hirti how they were married, and asking him it he had any objections. life aerie word back that he disowned his daughter, and 'swift Would forgive her; and made some rather unhandsome remarks upon the character of his son-in law which roused Mariated spirit. But the old Earl missed his only child and was so lonely In his grand cas tle, that at last it seemed whim he moat see her; or be should die. So he disguised himself as a mendicant minstrel, and went to Robin flood's Camp. he was kindly received, and feasted with good game, and ateetlent Wide.
