A ROMANCE OF OLDEN TIME,
,! What can that be, girl?' said the young
and lovely Joanna Pt Somerset, to her atten-
dant, as something flitted, into the room throt
tho window which was opened to admit'tholast
rays of the fast sinking_sun, now gilding alike
the west and the widely\spread landscape a
round.
As . t live my latly, 'tis a Ihter,' said the
girl, as she stooped and raised a small packet
from thilloor ; it was. tied with .a true lore
knot, and to it attached a small ring of brill
ianti3..

self to my notice. I wish my royal kinsman
would render his liberty , a little more subject
to restriction,' muttered Joanna; but it shall
share the fate of many others. Girl, fling it
from the casement.' •
Accordingly the maidenf/depT:ed into, the
balcony, which was filled with the choicest
flowers, native and exotic, and stretching out
'her arm, suffered the ill-fated and unconscious
messenger of love to drop from' her hand. Yet
she could not resist the temptation of stopping
a moment to look on the person who had ven
tured this experiment to vin her mistress's
love, s and who besides, was thus' scornfully
treated. But her lady, it would seem,Wittrun
usually'pettish this evening; for she immedi

I' good troth, my - ladyitte — picked
and glanced from it up here; then fair a mo
ment he stirred not—but suddenly he tore it
in fragments, and almost flow down the castle
walk;' and the tears stood in the simple-mind
ed Netta's oyes as she saw the hall-smothered
agitation of her mistress.
At thiPmoment the chapel clock began to
strike nine. Joanna caught from Netta's hand,
a cloak which she was proceeding to fold with
great - care, and its sho throw it around her,
hastily desired her to follow, descended the
stairs, crossed the grounds, and reached the
outer wall before Notta 6euld gain upon her
steps.
'Girl, it was se; he is not here. This has
my scornful hasty temper achieved. But ho
will back; instantly back, Netta. If I:had—
yes, oven if I had thrown his letter from
me, he might have sought explanation, here.--
We will return,. ;' but she, moved not. to
wards her homeras.she had doze froM it. No
it was a slow step that tuned from . the wall;
and many 'a lingering look Was cast behind; e
ven till-they reached the hoes°.
' Well, eartainlYmy poor lady is to be pitiod,'_
said Netts, with a sorrowful accent, as she
,ushered her mistress
_in* the , preSenee -of her
father, and closed the door: lam sure, now,
that-V-instead -of-meeting my-lord's gentle
man in the pleaeaunoe, I should stand there a
lone, and all my olsvn fault, I am sure.. It .
would not be that gallant company she is gone
into, that would make me smile; yet she did;
I saw it as I closed the door.'
Thus spoke the pretty . , simple-minded Net--
to, as she stepped on her way to the pleasaunce
beneath as clear a moon as ever shone in blue
heaven: but in her reasoning it, never occur
red that the smile might be forced, and the
eye in its brilliancy conceal dimming thoughts,
or the playful' tones come from an almost cho
king breast; but she had not needed to learn
so bitter a lesson. • . , . •

ing him, and replying with even more than her
usual gaiety to the numerous complimentary
speeches. But it was not long ore she pleaded
a slight indisposition and 'begged the Earl's
leave to. retire. Then, for thO first time, he
saw that the cheek of his beloved child was
more-than ordinarily fluslied,lmd that her eye
glanced rapidly from one object to another, as
though her mind rested not with ease on any
one subject; but this wasmo time to 'question,.
and he led her to the door, anti imprinting
kiss on her burning lips, gave her again to the
care of her maiden. - • •
In- the meantime, ho who had received the
unintentional alight trodo with nervous haste
towards the palace. 'ls it indeed BOP ho oz
claimed ; is she so fickle? will James of Scot,

troth for geme and baubles? I will declare •
Myself—and yet—no I if such be her lovO •I
spurn it from me,--do I? Ohl I fear me not.
There must be something wrong in this. But,
then, the ring was attached to it. I would •
that this ball and mummery might proceed
without my.boing missed; then Would I to my'
appointment,. and learn if she cared-no longer--
for the Roger Percy of her plighted faith; or
if she were not .there, I would once again to
her windoc, and crave,a few minutes converse
with - her.- - What-eare-V-he-eontinued,•as
entered the brilliantly illuminated hall, what
ears I for coming power and honor if she par- -
take it not with me ?' ' .
Joanna had listened to the successively struck
hours of eleven and lw.elve, and yet she lin
gered beside her toilet with her maiden who
now began to remove jewel' after jewel from
her mistress's person and place them in a cos
let. And no* Joanna foi the first time broke
tho sad silence—' , Netta; girl, what earo thou
art taking of the baubles.'
You called them not baubles this evening,
my lady, when "I exerted my poOr skill in dis
jiosing,theni; 'and believe me, I grieve that

'Silence, girl; thou art becoming too flip

thing?"
The girl loOked frightened; but on the.pale
face of her mistress there was an expression
of intense anxiety; and she raised her finger
to her lips to impress silence. Then again
name tire slight noise on the windows as of a
pebble. Netta's face brightened Vis immedi
ately comprehending, she threw a mantle a
round the form of her mistress, exclahning—
'llew unlucky that I should but this remnant .
have taken the last pearl from your hair..--
Stay, my lady; this one small branch of bril

But her mistress , was at the garden door when
she raised it from the case. • to bo

'Farewell, Roger yeroy,' replied Lady Joan

towards the door;'..but ho sprung between it
and - berieselaiming—'Only-one Moment-more ;

'Nay, 'Roger, but I know not where he .can,

lately had never been beyond them.' '
'Ay, dearest; but if-ho had glomsWl= thee,
I wonder not that he bethought, himself n'queon
would add'graee to his throne.' . -
The bright moonbeam showed plainly the
smiloand blush bat mantled-on her face; and
she repelled not the kiss ho imprinted on her
lips as he once Again bade her adieu.
'When the
-morrow's oven was bright , in the
west, as the sun kissed his .farewell to the,
green earth; on the brow of her blue hills and
gilded trees, the Earl of Somoierset sninmo ,
ned his daughter to his presence and announ.

can I'm him.'
, Why, girl! Ho tells me thou bast not yet

with pleasure on thee.' How then, Gayest thou,
thou oanst not love him?'
Joanna bent her knee before her father,
but she - ansvrereftot for it was in vain she
strove to find one objection she could state.—
She had heard, oven in her convent, of his
handsome person; and the nuns had loved to
listen in stolen hours to tales of Ws skill as a
poet And musioitin.. .
The Earl drew his hand, on Which:she had
pressed her lips, from...her grasp, and looked
sternly on her. Joanna thou bast not dared
to 'filithy affections ? Do I read that blushm
right?,- Girl, fondle not on ate. I will an

"Father, , father, press me not." _
'Then Toommand thee. Speak—his name

she seized his hand, which she covered with
tears and kisses. Then ho raised her tremb

Hour; after hour passed, and the sounds died
away. Joanna had, to shut them from her
car, retired to the broad seat in. the casement
recess. There she sat and - looked on the calm
scene ofglory lying around, so silent—so
soul-healing,-so majestically beautiful. There
was the sky of ene-unvaried arch Of: blue, the
stars in molten- gold, and - the full •lamp of
night, with . all' her silvery lines, shining so
peacefully on the half shadowed- tree, nod lake
and chastened flowers. Who could look on
such a scene and cherish hatred to a living be
ing! And Joanna at that moment felt at
peace with all who call this wearying world
their home ; but silo almost envied thee° who
call l / 4 . that - gloriees_areh_their_ footstool-,o'er
whose graves the silvery chequore were mat.
But she Wig roused by a hand AriSsting on
her head. Half, fearfully she raised her eyes
and turned them on her father. Then she
saw there were tears in his, and she rose and
threw, herself into his boson], where she-was

Puritan CUurtshipr
Tho following pleading anecdote, indicative
of tho habits of, our Puritan forefathers, in
from the new work of Mr. Bauvard, entitled
"Plymouth and Pilgrims," &o. Tho valiant
Capt. Standish having lost his wife, is desirous of
obtaining another. The story is an old ono,
but wilt bourn; re-perusal:—
A' short time after the depth of Mrs. Stand
ish, the bereaved captain found his heart :filled
with tender interest for Miss Priscilla
daughter of Mr. William Mullins.' Ho oher
jelled the impression that' if shocould be per
suaded to unite her fortunes with his the losi
whioh ha had experienced bo repaired.
Ile therefore, according to Puritan custom,
made his' wishes known to the father ? thibugh'
Mr. John Alden;as his-messenger. Mr. Mul
lins made no objection, although ho might
reasonably havi3dcine so, the decease of Mrs.
Standish having been so recent. He gave his
consent, but infornied' Aldeh that, the young
lady must be' consulted. ' '
Priscilla vas called into the room, not know-
ing for what purpose she was wanted. Alden,
a man of noble forth, of fair awl somewhat
florid coinplexion, and' engaging'irianners, a
rose and' delivered his message, for Standish,
in hefitting language and in a prepossessing,
conridous style. Priscilla listened.attentively
hoard every word, and then
,after a short
pause; as if 'gailiering strength to reply, 'eh°

VOLUME LL Nt_4.4B
About the year 17115, Colonel. Burr was
. ! . rwn- .
er Of nearly one fourth of a block fronting
Nassau, Cedar. and Liberty streets, and Broad-'
way: . Ho was an eminent lawyer, with an ex- '.
timely° practice. I was informed hy one of
the profession that Ids:practice at one period
wee worth ten thousand dollars a year. I need '
frequently to sit on juries in the old City Hall
(now the site of the Custom,Horo3e) when-Ham
ilton and Burr were the opposing cOnneel.—
They 'were both acute lawyers and eloquent
speakers. A remarkable incident took place .
one clay. They were trying the validity of a ,
will. Hamilton having the will in his hand,
happened to hold it between the window,. and .
his eyes. He rose, and prayed the court •to
stay the proceedings, and handing the will up
to the judge, (I thinkit was Brockhalat Living
ston,) remarked: ' , lf the court • please, there
is a Witness from heaven that will eat thistgat
ter at rest., If the court please, hold the in
strument so as to look through the- paper. The.,
water; ark is dated five years after the will
was signed. The testator could not make a
will.fivoyears after ho was dead." - Of course
a verdict for the defendant wan given at ones..
In the year 1800 Colonel Burr_was. elected
to the office of Tice President of the H. States.
On the 11th of July, 1804, ho retired from po
litical life, Tho fatal termination of the duel
with Hamilton, and the verdict of " wilful mur
der," rendered by the coroner's jury; caused
him to absent himself from this part' of the
country. Ho travelled through the Southern
and 'Western States, for the purpose of getting
up an expedition against Mexico, for which he
_.,
wa tried for high treason_ He then fled to
E land, {shero his papers were seiied, and -
