Her absolute' reluctance to the marriage, na'
her utter hatred of the man, had been, for months,
the topic of almost universal conversation; for so
widely had the fame of her unrivalled charms been
circulated, that in that age of chivalry and gene
rous adventure numerous were the young and gal
lant cavaliers who would have deemed it no slight
privilege to be permitted to adopt the colors of the
lovely Alice at tilt or tournament ; and whom not
even the fierce jealousy and savage prowess of her
avowod admirer, could deter from offering at the'
beauty's footstool, the tribute of dtp553miration.
All their endeavors were, however, vain; and
when it was discovered that the bright damsel,
though she had eyes to glance, and lips to smile at
times upon some favored gallant, had yet no heart
to yield or if she had, possessed not the poor op
tion to bestow it where she'plea'sed when it was
seen that if she caught the dark eye of Sir Americ
gazing on her unwonted merriment, she broke off
like a guilty thing detected in commission of some
desperate offence, and voluntarily, as it would
seem, submitted herself to his imperious will men
cease to striveorthat return of courtesy, at least,
if not affection7"which, .while it could be sought for
only at considerable riskit seemed impossible to

of matters, when it was suddenly announced that
n a near-appointed day, Alice would be surren
dered by her father into the hands of Sir Americ ;
for uro purpose, it was understood, of being under
-his1 protection conducted in all honor to a well
tiknown and celebrated nunnery of Yorkshire, the
abbess of which was sister to the puissant Baron

a!onr the outskirts of the desolate and dreaded
tract of fen and forrest, which was in those days
tenanted so wildly by the unconquered Saxons : I
and as Sir Americ's name was hated by these sa-
Tage forresters with no small or unmerited degree
of detestation, it had been daenied advisable to
travel northward with a powerful and well-armed
escort more, perhaps, as a matter of precaution,
than of necessity, for, although, since they had
been led by Hereward, the Saxons had increased
amazingly in boldness although they had in ma
ny instances surprised, and pitilessly slaughtered
tliose of their oppressors whom they found wan
dering alone, or with but slight attendance, in pur
suit of the wooaland game among their perilous'
fastnesses they had not yet attained to such a
pitch of absolute audacity as would have prompted
them to attack men-at-arms, equipped in complete
panoply of war, and on tlieir guard no less against
the hidden ambush, than the bold front of violence.
It had bean Americ's intention to pass the dan
gerous morass, in which, if any where, he might

' hoped to pass before the sun should set. and

allerative but so to do; for after he had lel't Cam
bridge, which was already uules behind him, there
was no hostelry or even cottage on "the road,
wherein it woukl have been advisable, or even pos
sible, to pass the hours of darkness.
It was, then, ir. no placid mood that Americ de
Bottetourt saw the sun gradually sinking behind
the tall trees, which now fringed on every side the
darkening horizon; and little was his hope of ma-
; king good his passege without blows and blood
shed; for he was not unconscious of the bold valor
of the Saxon outlaw, nor of the deadly cause he
had for waging war against himself, especially, as
the most hated individual of a detested race.
Drawing up, therefore, his small band according
to the method most approved in those days of in
cipient discipline, he clasped his vizor, felt that
his ponderous sword was ready to his graBp, and
advanced, not without something of unvvonteJ tre
pidation, at a hard trot into the perilous dofile. -Already
was above one half of its length safely
passed ; and already had Sir Americ begun to
deem the apprehension, ho had of late entertained,
causeless, and all unworthy of himself whon from
hi rear, wildly re-ochoed from the thick-set stems
of a dim grove which he had just cleared, without
l-oaring sound or seeing sigltt that could have led
him to suspect the presence of a living being, there
,roeo a Joud yell, succeeded instantly by the quick
iclang.of axes,;and.ereui-momenthad elaped by the
initromenddus crash of falling timber, ocarce Jiad
Sir Americ paused ro listen to the unusual andjUn
welcome sound, before the keen and crafty veteran
Mom in consideration of those very qualities!) he
had annomtcd to brinir un his rear, dashed uruit a
liard gallop to his side.
'Wo shall bo sut upon, sir, instantly,' he ciwd,
the moment he was near enough to suffehis
words to be audible. 'Theie be a score oriiwo
of Saxon varlets down in the thicket yonderjand
they have felled some three or four tall trees across
the causeway. Retreat is hopeless !' .
'Retreat!' echoed the haughty Baron
Who
would retreat before a Saxon! forward, brave
hearts, and if the dogs find heart to shew them
selves, 'fore God and our Lady, but we willpin
them to the earth with our good lances. Ori.jar-
chcrs, and look sharp let not a villain showlhis
head above these cursed bushes, but mark ittwuh
a cloth-yard airow. Forward! St. Gcnevivefor
Americ !' 'J
Sucli were the words with which the Norman,
adopting the array which has been hcretoforele
scribed, dashed onward while from behind, near
er at every instant, and more near, rang the Wild
whoops and yells which had in the first instate
announced the presence of the enemy.
' Damain, they be behind us yet,' ho said, all
dressing himself in a whisper to the veteran 'squire
who rode beside his rein ' behind us all. Bc
shrew me, but I think we shall outstrip them! ,
'Look! look! Sir Americ,' shouted the". old
- v
'squire, almost in the selfsame instant, pointing
with his long lance toward the ash-trees of wlush
Hereward had spoken. Look ! my good lordSa
chain. Yon ash is half cut through if it fail le
are lost.'
Even as he spoke, the chain which up to this
time had sustained the mighty tree, swung free-p
the branches swayed and cracked, and the gigan
tic trunk groaned, as it reeled and tottered to and.

'On, archers!' shouted Americ-

Then fiom.-tiiieUKv- ixrUassjirtsroso.ioilal
loud, the same portentous yell, which had alarmed
"tnenvironrtKe rear; while, nearer still'and nearer,
on every side it was repeated, showing that now
they were entirely surrounded ; and fast and fre
quent might be hcaid the ringing clatter of the
axes, and the stem voice of Hereward urging the
outlaws to their toil. Instant, as Americ spoke,
the archers dashed their spurs into their chargers'
flanks, and sped at a pace actually fearful along
the rough and broken causeway, driving at every
j stroke the mud and slime high into air behind
j them If they might but succeed in passing, ere
i
the large tree should fall, it was most probable that
the .whole party would escape ; for, cutting on the
causeway at right angels, not half an arrow-flight
beyond the thicket, an open glade extended with
firm soil and good footing quite to the rear of the
Saxons; so that, the angle gained, the alleys of
the Norman archery would have commanded their
position, and rendered it impossible for them to
carry their annoyance farther. On they went, gal
lantly and fast scattering, however, as one horse
outstripped the other with their long-bows alrea
dy bent, and arrows notched upon the string.
Fearful, indeed it was a fearful moment the
mighty ash-tree rocked and creaked audibly one
archer has already passed it lo ! he has halted
rcised his bow to his eye that twang has rung
the knell of one of the assailants St. Genevive,
St. Genevive, for Americ!' The second reaches
it even now his charger goaded to his fulispecd
is springing past the butt he is safe and the
third close behind! Noi no ! a louder, deeper
groan of the huge tree! and down, down it came,
thundering to the earth ! Heaven, what a fearful
sight ; ' even as it fell, tho hapless Norman who
rode second, dashed into the dread space, and on
the instant, horse and man "were crusned by the re
sistless weight into one shapeless mass of quiver
ing and gory carnage ; the third man close to the
ruin, had yet the time to note it, and with a despe
rate effort succeeded in arresting the speed of his
horse ; and low he stood, the noble animal quiv
princr in ftvp.rv Hmb with terror, its head curbed to
its very chest by the strong rider, who, unmoved,
even by that fearful peril, watched with steady
eye for the appearance of a foeman. Not long did
he wait, for, ere the echoes of that thundering
shock had passed away ; cheerily shouting to his
comrades, Hereward sprang upon the fragment of
the tree, which yet stood upright in the ground, as
if to overlook the field.
' Down with another tree, my men ! One more,
he shouted, ' and they are ours, beyond hope of
rescue.' . . . .
The moment he appeared, tho arrow whistled
from the bowstring of tho Norman, but whether it
was that his nerves were shaken by the appalling
si'dit he had that instant witnessed, or that the
Saxon, as men said, of a truth, bore a charmed
life, the shaft sung past his head, and, quivering,
stood fixed in arhard behind him, buried al-
most to jflR,crry England !' shouted tho
outlaw in rcurffnd without pausing even to take
aim hurled the short boar-spear which he held in
his riht hand, against the archer. Hurling
through the air,'it smote him at the junction of the
roret with the breastplate, and driven with resist
iress3 force, pierced through and the neck, and hurl-
ed him headlong from his saddle, a dead man ere !
he touched the earth. Atstho same point of time,
the clatter ot the hoots ot the third archer who had
passed the tree, and in whom all their hopes of
safety were now vested, might be heard, telling of
his flight and their abandonment.
They were entrapped almost beyond hope of
redemption or resistance! Before them and be
hind, the road was barred by masses of felled tim
bor, which hours of labor would hardly suffice to
remove on thtir right hand a deep and fordless
rivulet, with its banks guarded by the ambushed
Saxons, and on their left, a dark impassable mo
ras. Yet, still in this extremity, Sir Americ dis
played his wonted gallantry and conduct. 'Down
with your lances !' he exclaimed, ' there be no
use of them ! Out axes, and dismount ! You, Da
main,' he continued, with Lancelot and Raoul,
how away at yon timber as you best may, to clear
a path we, with God's aid, will gard ye !'
Dcwn irom their saddles sprang the men-at-arms,
and in the face of dreadful odds, went stea
dily, and even cheerfully, about their work. The
light-armed spearmen clustered about the person
of their leader, who, with his long two-handed
sword unsheathed, sat perfectly unmoved on his
tall war-horse. The two remaining archers had
fallen back with' the females to that side of the
causeway nearest the morass, atid" therefore least
exposed to instant peril. But the plot thickened ;
for the instant the first blow fell upon the timber, a
dozen Saxons showed themselves on the farther
side, and with their bills and boar-spears, com
menced so violent an assault upon the men-at
arms, as checked entirely their progress. At the
same instant, Hereward stepped forward with a
iavelin in his ricrht hand, and his huge gisarmc in
his left beyond the bushes of the thicket directly
in the lace of Americ ; while hall a score, aUeast,
'of hisrudc followers, half-armed, and utterly un
disciplined, but hardy, bold, and goaued into fury
by unnumbered wrongs, appeared behind him.
' Sir Americ de Bottetourt,' exclaimed tht. Sax
on, as he saw his foeman, using the lingua franca,
then the sole medium of communication between
the hostile- races, ' this day your hour is come !
'Twas this night, seven years '
' It was,' replied the Norman, interrupting him,
' this very night, seven years agone, that this hand
slew each living dog of your accursed race, save
"thyself, only, who escaped me then, but to fill up
'on, archer$fmy triumphs now. Come forth! and meet thy

however, his aim was less true, than before, for
grazing xittr tiiigu jr-i:i3- enemy, mtruorri-sjjear

charger, bearing him earthward in the agonies of

1 Callest thou this fair fight' shouted the now
infuriated Baron, ' callest thou this fair fight
then will we drive you from your 'vantage 1 Gil
bert, thy light-armed hobbler hath cleared abroad
er trench than that before thee ; over, and charge
the dog there is, I trow, good footing !'
Without one word, the young and daring spear
man spurred his horse at the fearful leap ; the
fiery charger faced it gallantly, but in the very act
of springing, the treacherous footing failed, and,
though he made a noble effort, his fore-feet barely
reached the farther brink, while his hind quarters
wore engulfed in the tenacious quagmire ; the ri
der struggled up for a moment from the miry ditch,
but it was only for a moment ; the ponderous axe
of Hereward fell like a thunderbolt upon his head
piece, and crushed the very skull beneath it.
'St. George! St. George for merry England !'
and planting one foot firmly on the back of the ex
hausted horse, Heroward sprang across the stream
let, followed by all his dauntless comrades, and
was assailed immediately by Americ. The fray
was ended in ten seconds between the vassals
of the Norman and the impetuous outlaws, who
caring for neither wounds nor death, bore them
down to the ground by the mere weight of num
bers, and unmercifully slew them to the last man.
Not so, however, nor so rapidly, was the en
counter ended between the Norman Baron and
Hereward, the Hunter. Both men of power and
muscular strength almost unrivalled, both anima
ted by unusual fury, one fighting for his life, the
other, dearer to him than life, for vengeance, they
struggled long and desperately. Many and dan
gerous wounds were interchanged, before Americ's
two-handed sword was shivered to the hilt, and
himself beaten to his knee by one blow of the
Saxon gisarmc.
' Not so !' cried Hereward, ' not so ! with wea
pons in thy hand shalt thou die, Savage Norman !
Thou shalt not boast in Hell that Hereward was
cowardly avenged ; give him an axe, good Elbert!'
His orders were obeyed without dispute, tho'
evidently with reluctance, and armed anew by his
foe's mercy or contempt, Americ renewed the
combat. Not long, however, did it now last, for
less accustomed to the bill than the sword, Americ
failed to parry the third blow, which, glancing
from his head-piece, clove deep into his shoulder,
and was immediately succeeded by a fourth, which
crushed the helmet like a nutshell, and laid the
tyrant at the feet of the avenger, a quivering and
lifeless corpse.
The last rays of the sun barely sufficed for the
conclusion of the fierce encounter, but the pale
moon was gleaming through the forest, before the
outlaws, with the lady and her female followers,
their honorable captives, and treated with due ho
nor, turned to the shelter of their woodland fast
ness, leaving, as Hereward liad boasted, to tho ra
ven and the fox, the bodies of their vanquished
conquerors.
An ugly stick of a bachelor, in-discoursing of
matrimony, remarked that the frogs in iEsop
were extremely wiso ; they had a great mind
for some" water, but they would not leap into tho
well, because they could not leap out.
Keep your eyes open before marriago half

Music of Winter. I love to listen to the
falling of the snow. You may teniperyour heart
to the serenest mood by its low murmur. It i3
that kind of music that only intrudes upon your
ear when your thoughts come languidly. You
need not hear it if your mind is not idle. It re
alises my dream of another world, whcr,e music
is intuitive like a thought and conies only when
it is remembered.
And the frost, too'has'a melodious miustrelsy.
You will hear its crystals shoot in the dead of
a clear night as if the moonbeams were splin
tering like arrows on the earth ; and you listen
to it the more earnestly, that it is the going on
of one of the most cunning and befantiful of Na
ture's, deep mysteries. I know nothing so won
derful as the shooting of crystal. God has hid
den its principles, as yet from the inquisitive
eye of the philosopher, and wc Must bo content
to gaze on its exquisite, beauty and listen in
mute wonder to the noise bf.its yisable work
manship. It is too fine a knowledge for us.
We shall comprehend it'when we luiow.ho'.v the
morninjj stars sang together.
You would hardly look for music in thfe drea
riness of early winter. But before tho keener
frost sets in, and while the warm winds are yet
stealing back occasionally,like regrets of the de
parted summer, there will come soft rain or a
heavy mist, and, when the north wind returns,
there will be crops suspended like ear-ring jew
els between the filaments of the cedar tassels,
and in the feathery edges of the dark green
hemlocks, and, if the clearing up is not followed
by a heavy windthey will he frozen in their pla
ces like well set gems. Tho next morning tho
warm sun comes, and by the middle of the calm
dazzling forenoon, they are loosened from tho
close touch which sustained them, and will
drop, at the slightest motion. If you go along
on the south side of ths wood at that hour you
will hear music. The dry foliage of the sum
mer's shedding, is scatterd over the ground,
and the round hard drops ring out clearly and
distinctly as they are shaken down with tho
stirring of the breeze. It is something like tho
running of deep and rapid water, only more fit
ful and merrier ; but to him who goes out in na-
ture with his heart open it is a pleasantsjm.usic;
'"and, in contrastiwitn? the stem characlcrrFthe

Winter has many other sounds that give pica
sure to the seeker for hidden sweetness ; but
they are too rare and accidental to be described
distinctly. The brooks have a sullen and muf
fled niurmur under the frozen surface ; the ice
in the distant river heaves up with the swell of
the currei.t, and falls again to the bank with a
prolonged echo, and the woodman's axe rings
cheerfully out from the bosom of the unrobed
forest. These are, at-best however, but mel
ancholy sounds ; they but drive in the heart
upon itself. I believe il is so ordered in God's
wisdom.
CITY OF BOSTON.
The following beautiful and eloquont notice
of the ancient capital of Massachusetts is ex
traded from the inaugural address of Jonathan
Chapman, Esq., Mayor of Boston, delivered on
the organization of the Municipal government,
Jan. G, 1840 :
" First among tho foremost in achieving that
freedom without which there can be'no real pro
gress, she has never been found wanting in any
enterprise that could socure or adorn it. The
simple but eternal truths, written, as it were
upon her everlasting hills, in the blood of her
stern, but pious ancestors ; that industry is
better than a fertile soil an intelligent popu
lation than the softest climate religion and vir
tue than mines of gold havo not yet been for
gotten. Guided by these truths as by the lights
of heaven, and blessed by the smiles of a be
nignant Providence, she has steadily and
healthily advanced in size, numbers, and
wealth. The skill of her mechanics, the enter
prize of her merchants, and tho high and hon
orable character of her citizenafigenerally have
given her no mean station amongithocities of
tho world. Every interest essential to herell
being as a community has been liberally assum
ed andgenerously provided for at the public
charge. Churches and school houses are her
most numerous and cherished monuments. Neat
ness, quietness, and general good order havc&
marked her character, and in all the points thwf
are worthy of a true ambition, she has estabht
ed and maintains, both at home and abroad, ar
putation which is no honorable passport for her
children through the civilized world.
Cooking potatoes. 'When you boil potatoes
for dinner pare enough for dinner and breakfast;
throw a little salt into the water in which they
are boiled, and when done, pour out the water
carefully, and let the potatoes stand by tho lire
a few minutes. You will find them much bet
ter than when boiled in the common way with
out paring. Take what are left at dinner, and,
mash them whilo wary, adding a little cream
aad salt; then put thorn In a bako pin, and in
the morning you have only to set tho pan in tho
stove, or before a brisk' firo for a few minutes.
You will find them excellent. Some peopla
use butter instead of cream, but the genuine, ar
ticle is prepared by the latter. Ask, Gra
