Correggio.
Otir story commences ea rly in May, in the year
1660---the month, when mice merry . Englan - cast
off the 'chains of fanati..ism , and the dread Cromwell
hiring fetid the debt of tore. leaving an imbecile i
successor,' Gen. Monk, hi assembl .d an indepen
dent
parliament, and overtures had been otTered for
the restoration of King C harles.
In the wolds of K nt, was situated. an old gothic .
castellatecl.manshan, Corr aerly called lletherwold, but
the'present proprietor hi id given it the name of Use- I
the Burney. The path by which it was approached I
was a sloping lawn, extending more than half a
mile, its top surmounted by the.turreted walls, from
.which the royal 'lag of charles floating in the breeze,
proclaimed the part, its owner now took in , the poli
tical troubles n>-the Pt, tecterate.
The neighborhood of the castle, was infected with
a wild, lawless gang of c avaliers, who where stimula
tett only by hope of pl under, air! could shill their
fidelity and allegiance to King Charles, or the Pro
tector Cromwell. just as it suited their purposes. A
band of these worthies was now congregated at a
-sequestered spat, not half a milealistant,sawaning an
oppgrt u nay to Illikt• an attack on the eastle• Although
the royal tanner of England now dotted from the
•walls of Burney, the tote had not been far distant,
when its proper tor had lien one of the most zealous
brawlers in favor of the Protector Cromwell. 11 . 1 th
'a sagacity, which *as somewhat aided by domestic
circumstances. he first: the tottering state of Rich
ard (.'romwell . s a4 . -at of power: he heard also of the)
arrival of Sir John Granville with overtures from the
exiled monarch, and true to his own segish poly, 1
he abdicated the falling cause, and blazoned' his
allegiance to the skies, in the folds of thb Lion-ban
ner of the Stuart.
The captain of the hand of military marauders,
whose falcon gaze was preparing fur a swoop on the
rich possessions of the vacihaung Burney, was a
young man, who had been Matured in the neighbor
hood. Capt. Laurenco Brown had once been of re
putable standing. but detrimental whispers had gone
forth, and many believed him now, no better than a
common plunderer. Laurence himself, gilded his
occupation with the mime of loyalty, and white he
was planning the indiscriminate sacking of the castle,
tried to persuade the ste44llboring peasantry, that it
was to revenge the former misdeeds of the proprietor,
whose present assumption of zeal for Charles, was
only some scheme to assist the designs of the Pro:
tector.
While danzer was thus i:npendin..; over the castle,
the inmates were in conscious security. It was not
known to Burney, that the Icing had actually re-as.
cended the throne. although such was the fact. Sir
John Glanville's overtures had been accepted, with
the enthusiasm 9f men, who felt that the long train
of civil dissentions had weakened their strength at
home, and their reputation abroad-, and the second
Chartres &um t was everywhere hailed 4-ith 'accla
mations on his re-appearance in England. Burney
might have feared the confiscation of his property,
on this event, but he had a pOwerful fnend in
Colonel de Viialdron, a royal officer of rank, • who
was contracted to hi. daughter Caroline, and only
awaited the close or civil contention to Consummate
the nuptials.
On the first news of the King's probable restore-
Lion, De - Waldron had gritted Barney for London.
He felt.confident that his services to his .exiled soy
ereign merited rewards, and all he proposed to Ask,
was.an amnesty towards the political offences of his
future father-in-law. His return was momentarily
expected, and in the mean time, confiding in these-•
rarity of his domain, Barney gave not a thought to

TISER:
was to be seen a young Imiaale peasant, who on toe
outskirts of the marauder's encionpmegt, was endea
voring to pass them unobserved. Thiiiras no mu'
matter, but still with woman'seifiring pivenince,
she was striving to accomplitt her wish. This girl
wan Annie bestir, • the foster sister of Burney's
daughter; shehai.•••• \ discovered the rendezvous of
Brown, and fearing. tALhis intents were not pacific,
she now sought to convey intelligence to her friends.
"Where can Martin Cleavland be, I wonder,"
thought eas maiden, "were lilt here, all would be
well; I nuskioubt Laurence Brown, although he is a
comely youth, and there lies the old castle through
the trees, the setting . sun gilding its windows. Oh,
that I were the a itch, that Martin in his lo4e
speethes sometimes calls me, how quick would I gal
lop on one of these sunceams to the castle, to warn
poor Caroline and her father—l would. —"
A rustling in the bushes attracted her attention,
and she was startled to observe another person ad
vancing towards her. It was a female of command
ing stature, but dressed in a commingled style of
penury and fantastic wildness; her g long locks of giey
were floating unconfined, and wreaths of ivy were
around her head. As she approached,
ulie recog
nized hem, in the now increasing gloom of efeeing
and exclaimed, •
“Ah ! 'us Mad Mabel !"
"Aye, Mad Mabel !" was the reply, "and why
stand ye there, swing at an aged woman, whose
head is grey, whose feet are sore, whose lips are
parched, who has neither kith nor kin t oi- a place to
aly down her head and die !" •
to see 1 on !"
-Silence, Annie Lester ! a lie should never blister
s young a tongue ! and yet I should not be angry
with your father's child, for he knew me, before
sin and pride changed me to what I am! aye pride !
pluck the rose from ynur breast and the ribbontfrom
sour hair, they smack of it!. hay, I will not fright
en you—you know Ralph Burney ) and love your
foster sister, his only child, but a curse--mind ye,
my curse, has hung over him, long and louringi his
time has come—the sun roe* this morning in red,.
bright glory, but the burnilig of his house will be
far more bright at the midnight hour!"
-Mabel ! Mabel !" cried Annie, .as the wretched
woman, turned with clenched and outstretched hands
towards t.!,e castle, and invoked curses on its own-.
t-r, "do not • for the sake of the mercy you ex
pect —" .
"Mercy ! ' sneeringly cried Mabel, "I expect mer
cy 1 where was the mercy of Ralph Burney when
he gave my fair boy. to the gibbet! No—no--his
house must "burn—and yet it would almost break
my he:.rt w see the ruin of the place, in which my
days of innocence were passed, when he who lords
it now, ty.,s but the serv.ait of its master'"
why not warn Clem yourself of danger"
replied Annie quiAly.
"Me ! me ! g, near that man ! me, oh no ! they
know me too well, to let me approach those gate,,d
I could save—for I know that De 'Waldron has
procured the roundhead's' pardon—that lie will bring
it to-morrow—but Ralph Burney has made himself
a host of enemies—and they will hide their love of
plunder under the name of loyalty ;—they will not
wait the pardon. Let them know their danger—
his servants are not to be trusted ! I would not
raise a hand to save Ralph Burney's life, but I should
die to see the old castle fired !. Away then; he care
ful how you pass by Hetherwold. Heaven shield
thee girl !"
Thus saving, Mabel dashed into the wood, and
Annie cautiously proceeded towards the castle.
In the mean time the household, ignorant' of their
danger, were preparing for the coming night:. Ralph
Burney was seated, with his daughter by his side,
in one of the apartments, in which a wiudow opened
on a turret. Fire 'arms ; swords and other weapons
hung around tae Walls, showed the turbulent spirit
of the times, although at present it was presumed
that all was quiet.
“Nay, proceed—my father, - said Caroline, "I sin
all attention."
Burney contnted a conversation,, the previous
part of• which does not-concim onr narrative.. "It
is known to you, that Annie's father and rnyte s lf,
came to this country togethpr. He was humble in
,thought, and remained as he was born,—l was not
so. The old Proprietor of this castle was deeply in
v“lved. both in politics and debt. I was his servant,
and gre; so useful to him, in his necessities, that
acre by acre his possessions became mine." .4
"Bad he no children 'P t -asked the daughter, with
sympathy in her oice. . •
"One girl there was, whom all accounted his. hut
I will not believe she was his daughter," replied
Burney with a shudder, at which Caroline attempt
ed to turn the conversation. • . _
-.Talk ''of it no- more—let it: speak of —"
"Hark ! what noise was that !" said Ralph, inter
rupting her, and starting to his feet., At, the mo
ment, the window of the balcony opened, and An
nie entered the apartment, breathless with haste.-
Few words sufficed to tell the danger of their situa
uon, and the heroic girl, coimcelled, that one of the,
servants should be - despitchad to. hasten the arrival
of Dc Waldron, but inotaritly remembering the. Warnt
ing,..of.Mahel against their fidelity, she seized a tan
from the wainscot, and exaMined the priming—it
was as wet as the sands of the sea shore!
Thus surrounded by treachery and danger, Annie
resolved to undertake the mission herself, and inne
&Cutely left the castle •to accomplish it, loaded with
the prayers and blessings of Caroline and her father!
Nearly an hour elapsed, during which the inmates.
were in momeuta.ty danger of attack; but Laurence
Brown had , not yet received the pro-concerted signal
from the faithless servants.. At length, the low but
4m:l-casing murmur of distant voices was heard by
the' watchful Burney. Be Peered from the window,
througo the darkness—formk were visible slain the
castle Vigils and .he cried,
"Annie was •right am bele, there are none
within my bonze I min mug, end to escape is ha

now all zealous to do some service to their Insider.

ruined all hope of phrider.
