IROMAACE , UT lIERALDAY; The 'three Shields - of Scotland. THE FAMILY OF ERRNL. Towards the close of the summer of the Year '6BO, two young peasants might he seen to bend their steps from Inveramon, a village Pn the south side of the Tay, 'owarda the neighbouring loWn of Perth. l'he younger of the tem wasp female; and thouglv• her eyes were red with weeping, and leafs were' still trickling over her fair, round cheeks, there was a blush blended witla.the sad expression of her counte nance, like the sunshine of an April day, that Mani fested the relation in which she stood to her sturdy and handsome companion. The latter himself seem ed to be equippeJ for war i.for a target and a battle axe were sluzig over his left shoulder, a two edged sword hung at his side, mid he carried a tall Scot tish lance in his right hand. But, however this might be, the repeated and earnest looks that ho bes towed on his fair auditor, and the tender melancholy that suffused his countenance together with the blush, already mentioned, on that of the damsel, showed that hisconversati an savoured of a matter more ap propriate to the quiet of a secluded bower than the din of a tented field. • Oh, Donald !' slid the damsel, at length, 'Where fore didst thou hide thy love so long 1 . Is ails a mo ment to a sk what thou mayst Levet need 1' • I will aced it, whatsoever chances,' replied Don ald. s Tell me, Jeannie, wilt thi] not yield it l I give thee mine instead,—my heart for thy heart, my love for thy love.' As he uttered these words, the young peasant drew np, a step or two in advance of his companion, and gazed wistfully in her face. She, it should ; seem, was neither unable to withstand his gaze, which mantled her face with blushes, or too modest to make an oral reply ; and she consequently threw herself .into his arms. The restraint which had till this ma ment bounden them both, and which the actual con fession of her love had overthrown was now suc ceeded by a passionate and mutual ebullition of sor row—sorrow that might be their last, thri only embrace,—that the morrow's sun might see the one a disliguted curse, the other a slave. 'Fear not, Jeannie,' said Donald, at length. 'Fear not, my Jeannie. King Kenneth and Malcclni the Tanist will soon drive these Danes from DMikeld. There's many a good Scottish spear will gleam on Luncarty to morrow, my lassie, and ill betide who would shrink from a Dane I Thou hadst ever a hold heart, Donald,' Ireplied the maiden.. s But hark !' She had been about to Teleas herself from his em brace, which lie himself chewed no dispositiOn to re lax, when the sound of horses' hoofs, approaching from their rear, suddenly saluted her ear, and she in stinctively. resumed her grasp of his arm. " s Thou art a sad coward, Jeannie, lassie, hind her lover smiling. s vii warrant me, now, thOu'lt be thinking yon two chieftains are cut-throat , Danes. But hold tip thy head ; they both sport the bonnie tartan, and thou'lt presently know them for Scots. Thus encouraged, and being no doubt assured that, should it be necessary, the stout arm to which she clung was able to defend her, Jeannie released her lover from her timorous caress, and walkeki slowly On by his side. ,The two horsemen who hail caused , her so much alarm soon arrived close on the heels of I herself and her lover, and a timid glance which she ! cast behind, and which revealed to her their tattan and feathers and cross sallicr, satisfied her that they both were Scots. . t• oppear 011 the first 11. pages rrgal r‘vr.: ledullar a n &fifty 1 ,0 . 1 & SODEN 1., work, who will the work in Potts- ,~ oti!t;d superior to George I'.

The glance which Jeannie, unobserved by her lover, had cast behind, satisfied them that her face was as lovely as her form ; and and the latter, which the closeness of I er i dress but too distinctly revealed, had previously ex cited their admiration. The now slackened their ltes' pace from a brisk trot a walk, and, while t ey them selves conferred in low whispers, kept the lovers a few yards in advance. By St. Paddy !' said the taller of thel two, after listening some time to the discourse of hia compan ion, 'thou art turned as sober as a freer, Duncan. Nevertheless, thou shalt not spoil the temper of thy master. I love the look of the lass, and, by my tay, I will ,nct rr•gard such Moder niceties! IHere's for the trial then !' As he thus spoke, the !taller horseman clapped spurs to his horse, and accompanied by the other, who seemed to'act more from necessity than choice, dashed up abreast of the lovers. He made a grasp at Jeannie, but having been alarmed by Ins prilvious unaccountable demeanour, and consequently some 'what prepared for 'an aggression, she easily eluded his clutch, and fell back upon Donald. ! lldloa, cavaliers!' cried the latter, thrhwing Rim self into a posture of defence, is this the way ye would clear the land of the Danes Nay, nay, his Graeddid but jest,' cried the short er of the horsemen, forcing a laugh.

The horseman whom the king addressed, and who appeared fully to comprehend what was meant, in stantly grasped Jeannie 'by the arm,, and drew her up to the pommel of his saddle. Before Donald could interpose, he and the, king C lapped spurs to their hor ses, and despite the struggles and screams of then captive . rode oil . . For several minutes after their ' departure, the young peasant remained motionless, with both his hands fasiened to his lance, and his eyes fixed in. tently on their retreating figures. At length, howev er, as the horsemen passed out of sight, he, set for ward at a:quick pace in the directioii of Perth; A sudden turn on the road, at the summit of a gen tle acclivity, brought shim in sight of the Scottish camp. which was piCched ai a diamiand form across the valley of the Tay. Thiiherwards he now bent hiL steEfs,,arii as lie kept to his original pace, soon arrived at, its verge. An old man and a youth, both attired in the same fashion is he, and evidently belonging to the same class, bore crossed his path and saluted him in a manner and tone which announced them as his fath er and brother. • Come airily home with ye,' replied Donald. • The fiend befal me, oc worse still, if I lift a lance in this enterprise!' 6 What, Donald, mail!' cried the others, in amaze. Ay, let the Dane come!' returned Donald, dig ging the butt end of his lance into the ground ; • let the Dane a come, I say ; our lot cannot be harder, and for aught 1 know, the change of tyrants may some• what better us. Peace, sirrah !' said the old man, in an authori tative tone. Cease thy mutterings, and plainly tell me what bath betid.' Je innie and I,' began Donald— I thought Jeannie was in't,' said the old man. •Ay father,' resumed Donald, and she'd just told . me that she loved me, poor thing! and King Ken neth and the- Maormor of Athol have carried her oft' By Mary -Mother, then, we'll make them me tt !' cried his brother. • Come away, Donald, marl, and win her back. Hold, Roderic! and thou also, Donald said the old man. Are we three a match for such as they Come home ; with ye my lads! We'll have no hand in this affray ; and, whe'n 'tie settled, we'll see what can be done for poor Jeannie.' The two young men, though evidently with reluc tance, obeyed their father's command ; snd with less enmity towards ttle foreign than they bore the do mestic invader, foll6wed him to a small hut on the outskirts of Inveramon. In the meantime Jeannie had been transported to an apartment it the palace of King Kenneth. She was, however, released from the inaportunitios of that monarch, who wculd fain laa';te rame.ned in her com: pany, by the arrival of Malcolm the 'Cellist, and this person instantly engaged him in Matters connected with the impending struggle. Being thus left td herself./and at least, for a time, relieved from the pressure of apprehension, Jeannie began to ponder, as deeply as her perturbed mind would allow, on the several circumstances of her situation, and when she became more compoged, to consider whether it were possible to elude, either by stratagem or entreatyi tfi s e fate that hung over her. Night fell around ; the clang of whits and tread nf iron footsteps gradually sank into silence ; the flourish of the distant trumpet and the shriek of the shrill fife were no longer heard; hut still she sat—that lovely maiden, in deep and flu ent thought. Many a dear fancy, many a long-cherished hope, many a darling aspiration, shining like stars through the clotids of her woe, fleeted before the eye of Jean nie's mind. The bright and holy passion of her heart, which even then brought a glow of pleasure to her tear‘stained cheek—the image of her brave and bunny Donald—the memory of many a sweet hour, many a lovely idea, arose spontaneously from the channel of her thoughts ; and she felt, after all, that it was a great thing to possess the shield of in nocence—to be able to wield the arms of truth. Such a meditation naturally inclined her to make an effort to escape ; and animated by the thousand hopes which love Carries at his girdle, but which often— alas that it should be so—prove, but reeds, she deter mined to pursue the thought. She passed noiselessly to the door, and with a beating heart and tremulous hand, drew it open. To her surprise, for she had never before been the in mate of a palace, she found there was parti tion formed of drapery, betwixt her and the room be yond ; and as she was able to perceive that there was a light in the room, dud thence inferred that there might be inmates also, she hesitated. All was still, however, and with renewed hope, she drew aside the curtain and peeped through. Her first glance fell on the form . of Kenneth, her tyrant sovereign, who lay, sleeping on. an opposite couch . but casually encountering a shadow on the wall, she turned her eyes in another direction, rind I thus descried a second person, armed with a naked dagger, whom she di-ectly perdeic.lti to be a•Dane. Before she could recover from the consternation which this discoXy occasioned her, and which al most overcame every other feeling, the Dane had stolen to the side of the kings couch. The're could he' no doubt of his ptit pose, no misconception of his motives; his naked weapon, which the light of the lamp distinctly revealed, was already rai t sed in the air, his left hand was ready to drop on his victim's throat ; and forgetting the indignity which she heri self would incur, Jeannie sprang at one bound to the assassin's shoulder, and arrested both his army. Kenneth of Scotland !' she screamed, stand to your guard!' The king instantly started to his Wet ; bst fur a full minute, though he saw that the assassin was struggling to free himself, and that Jeannie would soon be unable to withstand him, he was incompe teAt-to interfere. At length. however, ho wrested tbe dagger front the villain's hand, and pushing Je annie aside, struck him to the floor. Without, there !' he cried. The guards, who had already been alarmed by the scream of Jeannie, and waited only for a word from the monarch, now rushed in ; and immediately se cured the person of the prostrate Dane. To thee, fair maid.' said Kenneth, when this pre liminary had .beeu despatched; • f owe my life; so thou needest not fear further harm. Retire now to thy chamber; and to-morrow, at the peep of dawn, thou shalt freely hence.' SATURDAY MORNING. "MAY, S. 1841. IMMI2 .). 14 '° °: .10 '. i,,..F,. t , ...it, s. .. .\ . -S . 9 ~ • ~ , DVE RTI.SER: The sun had rot yet reached his meridian ; and yet many a proud crest—many a ruthless Dane and gallant Scot. had bitten the dust since the dawn. The placid Toy was no longer bright ; the broad field of Luncarty was no longer green; froth rth to Inveramon, from Benalvers to Benalpine, the sweet valley rang with the din of strife—the boom of battle. Now Malcolm the Tantst and Duncan; Ma ornor of Athol,—now Os may the Dane and Main- Fred, his lieutenant, bad the advantage; now the sons of Odin. and anon the children _cf. St. Andrew, seemed the favorites of victory. The two wings of the Scottish army,' says Chalmers, in his history of Scotland, • gave way to the Danish battlements. They rallied behind the centre they renewed the fight ifkii stronger ground ; and the Danes, in their torn, were compelled to yield to the Scottish Spears.' Then they all mingled in'promiseuous mass ; chief tains and vassals, Scots and Danes; and,aftera Mid contest, the Scots fled. . About three miles distance from. the scene of this d e adly fight, and about half an hour before the final defeat of the Scots, an old man and his' two rens were leading a yoke of oxen through the gorge of a pass, between two hills, which on that side of the Tay, formed the only outlet from the valley. . They had just reached the mouth of the pass, and had thus come in view of the contending armies, when u shrill voice, which seemed to come from the lower end of the pass, shouted to them to stop. By'r lady !' cried the yoangar tif the two young men, turning round.---i By'r lady !' guOth he' ''tis Jeannie !' - Dropping the rein of the foremost ox, be instant ly darted off towards the person who had shouted ; and in a few moments having traversed the interme diate space, had the satisfaction of holding her to his bosom.. He then led, or rather carried her to his two companions, who received her with as fervent welcome as he. And how did this cldnce, icanuie ' they all cried together. All with good King Kenneth's leave,' replied Jeannie. And she told them briefly what we have already communicated. And yet,' said the old man, when she had fin ished her narration, we have deserted this good king at his last need : Come, my lads, let us straight to the fight.' The Danes are already master,' cried the two young men together. • Haste, father, haste ..Nay, nay,' replied the old man, arresting them both, Wit will not be rash, lads. They are bending their steps hither, ye see; and this pa-s will be the rallying point. Get ye hence, Jeannie'—arßl, as the, maiden retreated into the pass, he continued;—'Now, lads, draw the oxen and plough before the mouth of the pass, and stand manfully to your guard.' Scarcely had these directions been complied with, and the old man and his socs 'placed themselves be fore the barricade, when the foremost of the retreat ing Scots came up. In a short time, the main body, together with Kenneth and his chieftains, drew nigh ; and now, seizing his ploughshare, and nodding to his sons to follow, the old peasant presented himself be fore the king. What r he cried, had you rather be slaughter ed by the Danes than die honorably on the field ! Come, rally ! rally !' He darted forward, accompanied by his two soils, towards the advancing Danes, and a loud shout broke from the Scottish army. They also, inspirited by the prowess of the old man, dashed impetuously forward; and king and peers and vassals, the ennobled and unennobled, submitted themselves to his leadership. In a few minutes they came in collision with the Danes ; and these latter, who had already been dis ordered by the eagerness or the pursuit, and who now supposed that the Scots had received a consid erable accession to their numbers, tied before the first shock. The old peasant and his two sons, to whom the victory was owing, were about to join in the pur suit; but Kenneth, perceiving that the day was won, and that the Danes could not again rally, called them back. He was about to address them ; but, at this moment, glancing casually at the barricade, he es pied Jearnnie, and beckoned her to approach' Which is thy lover, fair maid I' he asked. Je annie blushed, and, casting her eyes towards the ground, placed her hand in that of Donald. , Aa, hayel' exclaimed the old man. And being weary with his labors,. and forgetting at that moment that the king was present, he sat down into contig- uous stone: HAY thou shalt be, and all thy posterity!' cried the king, laughing. Fair dame Jeannie, (fur dame thou art,) thy love shall bq, thy husband; and to re ward ye all, to whom I and Scotland owe so much, I will give you as much crown-land in Gowrie as a fags-hound will cover in chase of a deer, or a falcon from a Man's Wrist traverse till it settles.

Toe Proxima Dima.—The invention - of this ter. rible engine of destruction is likely to cause a Cont. plete revolution in the modes of naval warfare. The Paizhan Bomh is thrown horizontally and with as much certainty, as &solid shot from a thirty two pounder. The destructive tffects of these - "bombs are described with a fearful minuteness of detail, which leaves the linpression on the mind that noth. ing is told which has not been done and witnessed; when thrown hot zontally they will crush, strike to pieces and tear o en the side of a vessel, with a ter rible shuck. " I ~they remain in the side" says the account " their explosion, acting like a mine, will open large beaches, the irregular fractures of which, extending below the water line, will make a passage through which the water will sw , li in, as though a d i ke VI7Ve suddenly broken. If a bomb should enter a m a st, it will overturn it, together with its yards, top,and rigging. Should the bombs pass entirely through the ship's side, then they will produce their effect between decks, in the midst of the combatants, the artillery and munitions; they will scatter around showers,of iron, and insupport able volumes of smoke and lame; they will com pletely destroy a fabric of wood, much more easily than that of stone : they will rip up tho deck, set every thing on tire, and cause dreadful ravages. ev ery where." , •• ... Some of these bombs are of one hundred. and fif ty and two hundred pounds weight. In addition to their explosive terrors, they are charged also with a certain composition, which, upon bursting, gives forth such a noisome and even poisonous FMCII, as to render a'ship uninhabifable, In the British and French . rmvies the 'aixhan bomb has been For some time in use. Its powerful efficacy was displayed at St. Juan de Ulloa, Bey— tout, and at Jean &Acre. The new ships in the British navy include, as a permanent portion of their armanent, a number of bomb cannon adapted to this new and destructive missile.

A CLINCHER of Anatouit.—Philip de Comities has recorded, that at the battle of Fournoue, under Charles the Eighth, a number of Italian knights, who were overthrown and unable to rise on account of the weight of their armour, could not be killed until they were broken up. like huge lobsters, with woodcutters' axes,by the sere ants and followers of the army, which fully justified the observation of James lir First, who, speaking to praise of armour said, "'a hat it not oniy protected the wearer, but prevented him from doing any injury to others." In fact, we End. in several battles about the time referred to, that not a single knight was slain. An anecdote in point is also related of George the Fourth. After the battle of Waterloo, it was pro posed to make some change in the dress of the Life Guards ; the King ordered one of the soldiers to be F cnt for, who had greatly distinguished himself, and was said to li.tve slain six or seven French cuir assiers in single combat. fie was asked a variety of questions, to each of which he assented until the king, perceiving that lie was biassed by the pre sence of royalty and his own officers, said to him, "Well, if you were going to have such another day's work as you had at Waterloo, how would you like to be dressed 7" " Please your Majesty," he replied, - in that case I had rather be in my shirt-sleeves," —Wilkinson on Engines of War. A MoNUMENT To OEN. HAIIRISON. — We notice (says the Baltimore American) with much gratifi cation that the South Carolina Delegation to the National Convention of Young Mea held in. this city on the Fourth of May last, have proposed, thro' the National Intelligencer, the election of a monu ment to William Henry Harrison, late President of the United States. Baltimore, Washington, and North Bend aro named as the places at one of which the monument should be built. The proposal, we doubt not, will be highly accep table. Asa preliminary step, it might be proper to assemble the various delegates in their respective ci ties and towns and counties fur the purpose of ascer taining their wishes on the subject, and to adopt some regular plan of action. With regard to the site of the proposed monument, what place is so suitable as the "Monumental City," where the Convention as- sembled THE WF.LLESLET FAMILy.—Tae illustrious fam ily of Wellesley, the issue of Garrett, the first Earl of MorningtOn, the members of which have emi nently distinguished themselves in the service of their country as generals, diplomatists, and statesmen, cannot fail (says an . English paper) to create some interest to their countrymen, and especially as they are now descending into ~ t he vale of years." The surviving rembers of the family are the Marquis of Wellesley, Lord Mary oorough, Lady Anne Culling Smith, the Duke of Wellington, the Honorable and Rev. Gerald Wellesley, and Lord Cowley, whose united ages, -sithim rr few days, amount to the (for one family) extraordinary number of 433 years— Since March, 1794, there has not been a death in the family, excepting their miller, the late Count •ess of Mornington, a circumstance unparalleled in the peerage of the United Kingdom. Gov. Powria.—The Courier and Enquirer thus concludes a justly severe article relative to the more receut abuses of the pardoning and veto power by Governor Potter :-- "If a e were citizens of the State, we should con sider voting for such a man as this for Governor a crime, and should never dare to put a ballot into the box for him, without being provide'? beforehand with one of his previous pardons, leaving conscience in the meantime to take care of itself." The above le but an echo of the sentiments of three fourths of the people of Pennsylvania. Tee Me it MO s.—A NVestern paper says a rumor is afloat that Joe Smith, the Mormon Prophet and High Priest, lately took a ride with Rigdon, his se cond in command, and` having Teter:not without his Lieutenant, the citizens of Nauvos enquired what had become of him, and Joe replied that Rigdon had been trhnslated to Heaven." If Joe himself had been left behind, it wou'd have been a more natural conjecture that he had been translated to a tavern. n` - .

A party of Latter Day Saints, headed' by their preacher, went there for the purpose of .dip. ping' a woman, whose weight could not be less than 220 pounds ! The minister wishing to be very cau tious with such a weighty customer, tied a large shawl round her waist, so as to have a firmer hold of her. He then gave her a souse in the water, bob she, being the heavier of the two, pulled his worship' l in with her, and had it not been for the timely as sistance of the crowd, both would most likely have' bet n drowned."
