our old dear home, amongst the pleaSant
vales 'awl breezy mountains of Cumberland.
Thero was health and freedom in the very .
air. Post- thou' not remember the day Iv*
()Id Gdiarey the falconer had lamed himself
among the rocks, and the youth: Albert, the
I havelling minstrel, took Charge of the hawks
,and- waited on •my -ay, as'if he had been
trained to the sport all his life long? Nast
thou forgot , how she stood by the lake with
her favorite merlin on her wrist an(Llier
white greyhound, Lily-bell, at her side, look :
ing like the very goddess of the chase, , so
full of life, and spirit, and cherishness ? And
that bright evening, when she led the dance
at the Maypole? Well-a-day, poor lady"! 'tis
a woeful change !"
It was remarkable that the Lady Edith's
attention; which neither the louder speech of
her elder attendants, nor the ringing toile's - or
the harper, had hen able to command, was
arrested at (MCC by the soft, low voice of Al
ice. The womanly sympathy sank soothing
ly into the woman's hear4just as the gentle
rain from heaven penetrates the parched hill
side, from whose arid surthce the sharp and
arrowy hail rebounds without impression.—
The drooping mistress listened in mournful
silence, while her faithinl maiden, uncon
scious that .site hfid attract' d her notice, par
sto in still lower accents, the train of tho't
which her-tiwn fond recolleeticins of the free
aqui and ha'ppiness which they hail tasted
among their native mountains had awakened
in Inc mir d. '
" Poor ..N.lbert, too I - the wandering min
strel, tvho Came to the cmtle gate to crave
lodging for one night. and so:jot/rued witli us
for three long months"; and then, whmi h.!
had wrought himself up to
it was a - part - it - fp' - 11 - he that- of ow si;irit. and
the flesh, Ntlmn he left our old walls,—return
ed again and again, and finally fied himself
in the fisherman's cotta7e, where the moun
tain strearnlet, after meandering, along the
'meadow, falls into the • 1:11;e. Poor Albert! I
warrant me lie taketh good care of Lit} Cell
and my lady's merlin, whereof he craved the
charge front old. Geoffrey. I marvel whether
my lady hnoweth that her pretty Lily-hell
and her fitvorite ritleon lin in hand: that will
~tentl them so heedfully for her dear sake!—
To my fanev, Bridget, that poor youth, albeit
so fearful and so ashamed in her presence,
worshipped the very ground 141tt She trod
upon. I have seen him kissidlyibell's glos
sy head, after her hand had patted it, rever
ently and devotedly, as though it had been a
holy relic in the great minster at Durham.'
Again the full and ringing chords of the
harp, but, this time, to au old border air, well
known to the Northan maidens, rose from
yeneath the easement. The voice, too, was
different lrom that of the courtly minstrel—
ilia•P•cr, manlier, pouring fourth tile spirit of'
the \vigils, as they gushed spontaneously, :IS
it seemed, from his lips, uN thimgh, to his"
ens song were but the medium of feeling,
and the poet's fancy and othe musician's skill
were merged in the impassionate grief of the
despairing lover. So the strain rang:

• And light and song, in mingling tide,
Pour forth, to hail the lovely. bride.
Yet lady, still the 'birchen tree

"Ha!" exclaimed old Margaret, "that dit

"'ills the roundelay Ivhielt she herself was
wont to sing," observed Bridgut;' "hut the
•
words are different."
"" Peace! peace 1 .,1 , cried tlio Lady Edith,
checking, with some impatience, the prattle
of her attendants, and leaning against the
easement which ape lied dung open, as the
deep and earnest voice of the minstrel again
resounded through the apartment. "Be

‘'Malld wardens pace o'er keep and tower;
(Jay maidens deck the lady's bower;
Page, squire and knight, a princely train,
duteous to her hridle-reiri.
Yet in that cot the milk-white hound, •

And ono inure fond, more true than they,
Born to adore and to obey."
" Alack ! alack Sighed the teinler-imart

as ever gatnboled on the greell,s‘safil, and as
swift of foot As ever followed hare over the
mountains—had", ti,'deeper source than love
of the good hound. Well-a-day, poor Albert!
,He is a goodly youth!''
"'Hush I hush!" exclaimed the Lady Edith,
as the 'symphony finished, and , the voice,
again mingled with thettchords of the horp, ,
struck fidteringly and onsteadily .now, as

"Alas I alas ! my lady,—my dear, sweet

Edith, after lingering at the wcinduw d u ng
enough to ascertain that the harp was silcat
and the harper gone, sank into a seat with a
sigh and a look of desolation, that proved
more plainly than w ,rds thetruth of the last
linesi - of the lilifStrel*Slay.
" Alas I alas 1 dear lady!" excl l aimed she
in a louder tone, as the sudden burst of start

by raising- the heavy portcullis and lowering
the massive. drawbridge,, and the echoing
tramp of barbed steeds and mailed horse

to an agony of tears, that shook her very
frame.
"Why guest thou nut, Margaret 7'' inquir

" Lady!" cried Margaret ; ,s ," do my senses

" A low-born churl!" responded Edith-LI

of the pitying damsel, who staid lice steps
with an-exclamation of surprise, as the door
of the chamber was gently opened. Tell the
Lord Howard the very truth ; men say that
he is good and wise—too wise, too good, to
seek his own happiness at the e x pense of a
poor maiden's misery. • Tell him the whole

" Nov,' sweetest lade, from thine own dear
lips must come that sweet confession,' said
at voice at her side, and, turning to the well
known accents, Edith saw at her feet him
who haying won her heart as the minstrel,
the humble falconqr, claimed her hand as the •
rich and high-born Philip...„Howard r the fa
vorite of the'.-king.''.
A cry of joy burst from the astonished
waiting-1i omen, and wt.ti eeluted by the pret-'
ty greyhoto:d who t u rd followed the
Lord Howard into the room; and now stood
trembling, with ecstasy before her fair mis

THE EASTERN 'WAR.
, . Tut: W.ta s Eynon.; lags along so
j lazily, that it beComes very evident that the
end is Alia off. It may last but one year
more, or it may last ten years,—but it.is clear,
England and France have not yet made im
pression enough upon the Emperor Nicholas
Ni bring him to terms. St. Petorsburgh can
scarcely he taken this year, as at first con
tem pltted, or if taken, Russia is no more
conquered than when Napoleon took Ma+.
c`Ow, When the Crimea is in the French and
British possession, and Sebastopol also theirs,
then, fir the first time, the allied Powers will
•
have made an impression upon Russia—and
this not because Russia will be in the pro
cess of subjugation, but because that will
' have been gained, which, if kept, °Pens to
the world the Black Sea, and secures a freer
trade -therewith. The opening Of this se - n; -
which has been hitherto little else than a Rus
sian lake, is a world-wide matter of interest,
fur if the allied Powers conquer Sebastopol
and the Crimea, the trade of the, world, n's
well as of England and France, it is to be
presumed, will profit front the victory. . Even
the remote United States, then, are not nu
!. ,
futeresteo in such a result as this.
Tlie Crimea, if taken, is likely to be the
only fruit England and France can expect
frnm this war. We very much doubt the pos
sibility of the suhing,ation of Constallt by the
fleet of Admiral Napier, or by the French
co-opei:ating N - vith him. The Born
. arsund was an case victory, but the captor()
(onstaiit retpiires, forces arid combina-
Itions,—wliieli, it-likely to - he - brong,ht an OW

lbre this. The efforts to involve Sweden in
the war, seem to be a confession that the
Swelibli army is indispensable b3r co-ope

Sweden will involve herself a war, in
which, if ;he gains any thing now, she is cef

MRS. BENTON.—The death of this lady has
called forth the most genuine testimonials to
her exemplary worth from those who were
acquainted with her private life. She was
the constant companion,adviser and counsel.
er of her husband, and during his storing po
litical life has ever been whei•e his duties
called him. A
. cotemporary, who - appears to
speak from a personal knowledge of her
character, says, that "many- a difference be
tween Cid. Benton and his colleagues of the
Senate or House of Representatives was heal
ed by her soothing meditation;and in a
bitter enemy became reconciled to the veter

with others, grieve at the loss which society
trand the country have sustained by the death
