THE OW OAK :CHEST. -1-
MAPTER 1.
It wits about. foir o'clock in the afternoon
on,a cold, glooroyday at the end of January,
in.ih''S year 182.9, when a fair young girl stood
at a cottage winiow, watching with tearful
eyes the retrestingferm of one who had •just
hidden her farewel for an indefinite period.
She had gone throng,' the leave-taking bravely,
trying to lighten hisheert with cheering words.
though_her_liwn.:_wis fulLof heaviness; but
when she had hint sght of hie tall figure amid'
the increasing darksnn, she came back to her
place by the fireside and said in a sorrowful
tone—
" Oh, mother, 'it lilt be a weary summer,
and he away."
Yes, my deer chid; but let nil remember
that it is for his gem, and it inay not be for
long, altar all. Pertvps, Mary, even before
this auto neat year, we may have him back
with us again."•
Mary tried to feel hopeful, but a strange
foreboding of evil vieilhed down her spirits to
the lowest ebb ; and ()spite all her aorta and
her mother's kind andgentle reasoning, she
could not titmice it off. •
Mary A . reher wns th only child of , a lady
whose husbabd had bee nu officer in I he army,
and whose solo means olsuOptirt were now de
rived from the small pasion allowed to a cap
tain's widow. She was) very delicate health,
and had 'been hone for 'Tern( years in conse
quence of an accident, it that she was wholly
dependent on her dangler for the cares of a
nurse ns wellas forthe..tanagentent of her lit
tle household, and Ma discharged all them)
duties so lovingly and fithfully thM, owing to
her in.histry and Mconoty.' the invalid was
afforded twiny
with
ut of their slender in
canto, which, with le!mareful housekeeper,
elm could not have had; nd the house, though
!tumble, was always so oat and nice that it
was more pleasant to lot upon thau many a
.
grander dwelling.
And who was he fr,em sham Mary Archer
hen just parted? He wa her lover—her, be
trothed; but he Was peons herselfin worldly
wealth, and 'was going tiGermany with the
Heron Steinbach, in the %pacify of tutor' to
that gentleman's two sons
Giving to Germany thirt years ago was not
quite so simple an affairs it is now, and in
the mind of Mary Arefir the journey was
fraught with a thousand',erils and dangers
that afrighted her, and Wen she bad received
his last embrace she felt 'a if•they were being
separated forever.
• Ile had accepted theapiintmentbecause he
could get nothing more e:gible for the time

tance which made Lite/Sillies light to bear,
and had it notteen for, living his beloved,
ho would have hod no ohjttion tea tempera
ry sojourn in a foreign ootilry. , -
Left an orphan and pentless at an early
age, he was admitted into th school of Chrisrif
Hospital through the inlet of an old lady'
whin had known his motherfim herchildbood,
At eighteen he gained AO eXbition at Oxford,
Where he studied with a vls , ,in due tinfe of
entering the Church, and in ue time was or

using harsh words even when angry,.and . thero
was generally a bland' smile on his tiounte
nonce that gained him thoreputation'of being
a benevolent, kind-hearted
The .youth And extreme beauty of Mary
Archer had lira 'drawn his notiattfowtirds her,
- ) ind these 'attractions being heightened' by the
amiable 4isPhsition displayed iu her afftictlim
' ate attentions to her suffering parent, hail
in
duced hith to offer her his hand, in the full be•
lief that the magic infldbnce of wealth would
counterbalanhe the objections of age and in
. firmity.
Mary eaid that she felt grateful for the'pro
- ference.With which he ffad honored her, but
that her heart had long been given to another;
and then,phe candidly told him Whet was her
lover's actual position ; she spoke of his.pres
,,[ ent rtraitened circumstances,' as well as his
•' - f future prospects. and gracefully but decidedly
declined the offer of riches and splendor now
laid at her ; feet; on which.. the dieappointed
wooer, with many expressions of deep regret,
withdrew his suit and departed.
.• Mary had said nothing about this •proposai
to Everard. tearing that it, might make him
uneasy to know that, whir's lie was far away.
there was a lover so near, who had the power
of holding out so many temptations to induce
• her to break her faith.
And so lie bade her adieu in happy ignorance
of a danger that certainly would have. caused
' him much anxiety and disquielude.
Ile had a full mile to walk to meet the coach
that was to convey bins to London, and part
of his way lay over a dreary common, itt'setne
distance front the high road, but us he hind
gone the same way at night several times be
-fore, he Nlt no fear 'of• tieing molested, but
walked on at a brisk pace, thinking of the
lovely girl ho had just left, when, in passing a
clump of trees, he was suddenly seized by the
arms, and, before lie had time to make any re
sistance, was thrown to the groinid, while the
thick stick lie carried for „protection, and
carpetbag containing some.:apparel,' were
wrested from his' grasp.
Ile endeavored to call for help, hit his voice
. was 'stifled by something that was pressed
upon his face; he felt a sensation as if he were
being suffocated—then a death-like stupor
scented to steal Over his senses, and he kite - li
no more-
The first moment of returning conciousness
witalike the awakening from a long trance.
It appeared to him as if age's had passed away .
since last ho looked upon the emit) nail Sky.
Ile .felt. that something extraordinary hoLlusli
pened, buthould not remember what it-veitin-
Mind was confused, tuuddte gazed with
wonder on the unfamiliar,Objecte that surroun
ded hit». ; •
lie was lying on a low pallet in one corner
of a large, gloomy, ill-fuinielted Apartment,
dimly lighted rya single lamp that stood on
tI clumsy oaken table. in anothertorner of
the room was a great _sfrioden-cheat, and
gainst the wall were three or four heavy, high
backed chairs, and,tbittNite all the place con
tained.
Everard sat up onthe wretched conch, Which

'floor, and tried to recall the events flint - had
brought hint into this strange, situation. By
degrees he recollected bow he hadbeen attack
ed on the common, and his senses became
More clear, he was convinced thatsetne power
ful opiate had been employed to throw him
into a deep, unnatural sleep, .but. how' Icing
that hid lasted he could nit tell. •••
Ite was drooled...the same as when he left
Mrs. Archer's cottage, but hiavv.vitch and purse
were gone. A faint glimmering of daylight
was just beginning to appear Prom atwve, and
he now observed there was no window in the
dungeon like room, except a small, skylight iu
the middle of a lofty roof, formed of rough
timbers.
It was some time before he could discover
any,door: and when he did, he found it fasten.
ettbn the outside. Then came the question—
rllB-be a prisoner, or had ho bec.n• - hrOnglie
hero by 801110 good Samaritan who Ithd found
hint by the wayside?
Tho men who us:mullet' him were no dopbt
robbers, who had probably been interrupted
before they had finished the work of spoliation;
since they had hot "stripped him of his tal
i went," and 'was the more fortunate, as lie hrid
taken the precaution tosecure tonne bank notes
by sewing them within the lining of his coat.
At length lie heard the sound of approach
ing footsteps; then there was a croaking noise
as of heavy bolts heir ;withdrawn; the door
was opened, and to his infinite horror anddis
may two men in black musks, each carrying
n pistol in his belt, efilered the room, one
bearihg a load of faggots, which he threw
down on the hearth, the other a can of, pipe
hot liquid and a covered basket.
All the horrors of the Inquisition rose up
before the excited itimgiation of the prisoner,
for eo he now deemed himself to be lie was
acquainted, too, with the history of the secret
tribunals once tto formidable in Germany, and
asked himself, 4.Watt tit/possible that such ex
isted still ? Wee the tam Steinbach a mem
ber of some dread fraternity, and we're these
men who looked more like fiends than' any
thing human, sent to put him to the torture?"
All these terrible ideas rushed likelightning
through his bewildered bray, and starting to
his feet ho demanded, fiereely—
,.• What place is this, and why am I brought
hero?" •
'4 It is a very geed' place," answered one of
the fellows. in a gruff voice, "and you are
brought hero to be token care of; so now .You
know all about it, and you May as well have
your breakfast."
As he spoke he placed on the bible the smo•
king cauldron, the contents of which proved
nothing worse than hot coffee, while from the
basket,. instead of instrument' of torture, he
produced tquaf, and a did) a broiled bacon:
Everard was !hue iblieved from his fears of
immediate bodily hstn, but he said.—
'" I shall take mulling till I know by whose
authority I am detifincd here, and for whet

f •Mary waited day after day in anxiousr ei

p
roinised to write to her before he left Eng

wits going, for he did not himself knoiv where

" But if an occident has happened to him,

" These . nie imaginary troubles, Mary. Ile

ly. Be patient, sty child, and all will be

Mary tried to be patient; but ati time wore
on and no news of theabsentee,ber heart grew
very sad, the bright bloom (Aided from her
cheeks, and the tears would Often rush unbitt•
den to her eyes, tor. her thoughts wandered
back to the happy days that were gone.
And so the spring•timi arrived, and with it
came another sore trouble,' for Mrs. Archer
began to exhibit symptoms of a rapid decline,
and thin Mary thought less of ber other sor
rows, so terrible was the fear of losing this
dear and cherished parent.
It was in the midst of this affliction that Mr.
Lonsdale renewed his visitant the cottage, and
expressed his sorrow on observing the lady's
increasing debility , .at •the same time request
' ing - permission - to - eend - his own' physician to
see pfoposal she. meet gratefully ac
cepted. • '
The doctor mime. lie said sho required
good wine and strengthening diet; but alas!
the remedieshe prescribed we're beyond her
means to obtain; and then the rich man saw
his advantege,for ho knew that Mary had never
; once heard fromdier absent lover since his de
parture. and he tholfght he now saw his way
to win the treasure 1.4 bad so long con, ted.
lie Ent. the riehest.wjues front his own cel
lar, and the choicest game from hie preserves,
and many costly delicacies to tempt the appe
tite that turned trout ordinary food; and, the
beneficial effects of such nutriment were soon
visible in the improved looks and returning
strength of the invalid.
Mary guessed but too well the violins for
these attentions, and the reward that would
be asked; yet she could not but feel grateful
for kindness that had, iu all probability, tiNved
her beloved . parent from the grave.
At length the dr„kakleffer was made. Mr.
Lonedule pleaded that Enerard's kilence was a
proof of his inconstancy ; that he had most
likely formid tiome'oper. engagement ; and
that, at all events, his neglect was sufficient
to absolve Mary from her plighted vows.—
These arguments had no effect upon her.
She did not believe ho was faithless. IL was
easier to imagine hit death than his falsehood;
and if he were dead, what could she do but
mourn his lobe forever ?
Again therefore, she rejected the proffered
hand of her 'aged suitor, who did not rig - before
withdraw his pretentim s, but continued to
urge them with a perseverance that was truly
diet eSsing to the heart-broken girl, especially
as her mother, who regarded thf3 wealthy' old
man as her benefactor, and even as the savior
of her life, was won over to espouse her cause
" My ft can Mary," shosuid, f• it would bo a
great happiness to . tve it you could make up
your mind to marry Mr. Lonedalo. My life

''Think not of that, dee t mother. I have

fate. It' I were sure that he was dead or false

The winter was now approaching with ra f pid
strides. The firsistiow , had fallen, and the
frost glittered in a 'beims of 'the rising sun.
Mr. / k. came pvery day to.the cottage, and
peollfe began to talk of Mary, as liik future
bride. Ono day her mothensaid to her—
'• I am afraid, dear Mary, this winter will
try me very severely. If I could but feel that
you were provided for, my mind would be at q.,

" Oh, mother, mother, I cannot bear to bear
you talk so. Think how much better you are
than you were some months ago And why
should you trouble yourself about me ? I are
-able to provide for myself, if need be; but now
that you aro so well, what is there to fear ?"
" There is this fear Mary. I have been
kept alife by the kindness of .Mr. Lonsdale;
but all that be has done is for your sake, and
in-the hope of making you his wife. If that
cannot be—anti I would not hove you sacrifice
your happiness on, my account—we must not
expect that his friendship will be continued.
I only wader it has lasted so long."
Mary hoped otherwise. , She thought it
would becontinued, but she coon founa that was
a vain delusion, Mr. Lonsdalo declared that
if Mary persisted in refusing him,e he would
return to Italy without delay ; butqltat if she
consented to be his wife, he would remain in
England, and his house should be henmother's
home.
" For her eAke, dear Mary," Ito urged.—
" Think well Of this. You say you never-can
love again. Well, be it HO, I shell be con
tent with your esteem, nucb perhaps that•is all
I have any right to expect of one so young and
lovely. Your mother shall live with us Mary,
and I will be the friend and protector of you
both,"
Mary Ilatened in silent eadniss ! she began
o think it was wrong end selfish to consult hor
own feelings'alonc. *sides, what bad she to,
care fur in this world but the beloved mother
who, should their only friend fOrsake them,.
would droop and die.
And so the young girl of eighteen consented
to marry the little, deformed, gray-headed old
gentleman of sixty .five, and everybody said
what 4 f6rtunate.girl- Mary Archer was, and
what an excellent match eh ;had made. Bri-
dnl presents were lavished upon her, but they
'afforded her no' pleastire. She felt more like
a victim destined for sacrifice than a maiden
awaiting her nuptial Lour; nor could any per
suasion induce her to become a bride till the
anniversary of the day of Everard's departure
was past'.
" Mother," said she, "let me give that one
day to mournful remembrance, and it shall be
the last."

WASHINGTON'S ANCESTRY.
In a_late number of the historical Magazine
there is a comMunicatinnlrom Mr. Sumner to
JaredSparks,desoribing the memorial stones'
of the. Washington family, copies of which
were presented to Mr. Sumner by Earl Spen
cer. These tomb-stones are to be seen in the
parish Church of Brington, Northamptonshire,
England, near Althorp, the family seat date
noble ftimily of Spencer..
'. The following eitract from Mr.'Sumner's
letter, which we find in the Philadelphia Ppm,
gives all that relates to the discovery likes
made of the home of Washington's ancestors.
noSTolt, November 22, 1890.
Mir DEAR Sin: Since our last conversation
the earl of Spencer has kindly sent to me pre•
cisc copies of the two "Meinorial Stencil"' of
the Eng Halt family of George Washington,
which . I have already desellibed to you as har
monizing exactly with the pedigree which has
the sanction of your, authority. These are
of the same stone and of the same size with
the original inscriptions—being in all respects
Jae similes. They will, therefore, give you an
exact idea of these interesting memorials in
the parish church of Brington, near Althorp,
in Northamptonshire..
The largest is of Lawrence Washington, the
father of 'John Washington, who emigrated to
America. It is a slab of bleish gray 'sand
stone, and men ores five feet and two inches
jpng, and two feet and.seven inches broad.
Here is the inscription:
Here Seth thobodi of Laurence
Washington swine and hciri' of
Robert Washington of Suvigrave
• In the couture of Northampton
•
Esquier who married Margaret • •
the eldest daughter of William '
Butler of Tees in the countie
of Sossexe Emptier, who had ism
'by he 4. 8 eouns and 9 daughters.
which Laurence deceased the Id
of December A. Dui 1016.'
• Those that by chance or choyce
of this bast sight,
know life to death resigner
as, daye to night;. "
_ • but as the sounes reborn° •
revives the day
so Christ shall us
Though turnde to dust Si clay.
Above the inscription, carved in the stone,
are the urine of the Waskingtons, with an atidi
donut timtrtering of another family.
. The °therm ofElizabeth, Washington, daugh
ter of Lawrence Washington, and sister of the
emigrant. ThiS is a slab of the same sand,
slime, and measures three feet andlive inches
long, and two feet and six inches broad. The
inscription is on II small brass plate, setl,into
the stoke, and is as folloWs
"here lies interred ye bodies of. Elizab.
Washington widiluwo who changed this life
for immortalitiklye liii March 1622. As also
ye body of Robert Washington gent• her Into
husband second sonne;of Robert Washington
of Sulgrave in ye county of North, Esqr. who
departed this life yo lOthof March 1622. After
they lived lovingly together ninny years in
this parish."
On a separate brass, beneath the inscription
are,.thErartna "of the Wasbingtons without any
additions. These, as you are well aware, have
the combination of the stars and stripes, and
are sometimes supposed to have suggested our
national flag. In heraldic language, there are
bare of gales and argent with three mallets or
stars.
, In the interesting chapter on the Origin and
Genealogy of the IVashington Family, which
you give in your Appendix to the "Life of
Washington," it appears that Lawrence, the
father of the emigrant. died 13th Dec.. and
was buried at Brangion, 15th Dec., 1616. But
the genealogical table!, which_you followed,
gavenoindication of the locality of this church.
lied it appeared Omit was the parish church
of the Spencer Family in Northamptonshire,
the locality, which! believe has uot been here.
tofore known in our country, would have been
previously fixed.
In point of fact, the slab which covers Laiv.
rence Washington is in the Chancel of. the
church, by the side of the monuments of the
Silencer family. These are all in admirable
preservation, with full-lengthed effigies, busts,
or other sculptural work, and exhibit an inter.
eating and connected series of Sepulchral me•
morials froM the reign of Belfry VIII to the
present time. Among them is a inotiument
by the early English sculptor. Nicholas Stone,
another by Nollekeus from a design by Cipri
ani, and another by Flagman, with exousite•
ly beautiful personifications of Faith and
Charity. Beneath, repose the successive re
presentatives of this illustrious family, which
haajnthled to its aristocratic claims by services
to the State, and also by the unique and world•
famous library collected by oneof its inempers.
In this companionship will he found the last
English ancestor of our Washington.
The otliffr slab, covinring Elipbeth, the His
ter of the emigrant, is in ouc of 1110 aisles of
the nave, where it is scraped by the feet - of
all who pass. •
The parish of 13rington is between( seven and
eight_miles frotti,.the town of Northampton,
not far from . alb „centre of England. It is
written in Domesday Book "Britinintone," and
also "Brintone." It contains shout 2210 acres
of which about 1400 acres belong to Earl
Spencer, about 320 acres to the rector in-right
of the eltureli, and about 130 acres to other
persons The soil is in general a dark•eolored"
loam, with a small trace of clay towards the
I north, Nearly four fifths oflhe whole is pas
ture and feeding land.
In the village slip stands the house, said to
have been occupiedty the Washingtons when
the emigrant brother left them. Vou will see
a vignette of it on the title-page of the recent
English work, entitledg" The I'Vrfhingions."
Over the &Mr is carved the words, "The Lord
giveth; the Lord taketh away Blessed be
the name of the Lord;" while the—Parish-lie
gister gives a pathetic commentary. by show
Mg that, in the very year 'when ibis bone°
was built, a child had been born' and another
had died in this family.
The church; Originally dedicated to the Vir
gin, still sample at the .northeasfanglesof the
village, and consists of an enit;attleil tower
wr
ith five belle, a nave, north and south Melee,
a chancel, a chapel, and a modern porch. The
tower is flanked by buttresses of two stages.
Tho present. fabric goes . back in its origin to
the beginning of the fourteenth century, near•
ly two hundred years before the discovery of
America. The chancel and chapel, where re•
pose the Spencers and Lawrence Washington,
were rebuilt. by Sir John •Spencer, the pur-1
chaser of the estate at the beginning of the
18th century.. They afford "one of the latest
specimens of the' Tudor style of architecture.
The church is beautifully eiturited on the sum
mit otthe highest ground of Brington,'and is
surrounded by a,stone wall flanked on the in
side by trees. Dibdeu says that o more com
plete picture of a - country churchyard is rare.:
ly eeen. trimmed walk encircles - the
whole of the Interior, while."the floe .Clothio
windows at the end of the chancel fill the scene

Anotlirr Itoyai Romance—Mysterious
Marriage of a Brother of George RI,
—A Royal Princess Ignorant of her
Birth—The Claims of the Claim
Al tolne when the- American Bonaparte' .
are urg in tho French Courts their, claims
to recognition, a case not wholly
dissimilar is occupying the_attention:pf Eng.
lish lawyers And 'gossips. The Blots of the
Case, as alleged by the parties seeking to es:
tnblish their claims to ioyal relationship ara
these:,
On the fourth of March 1767,-there being
then no restriction on the matrimonial allian
ces of members of the royal family ; ,-oue Olive
Wilmot, the daughter of an English clergyman
high in favor at the - Court of George IL was
married by her father - to the Duke of Cumber
land, brother of King George 111. and the oer
tificatei of the marriage still exist, attested by
the signetnre of the Earl of Chatham. the Earl
of Warwick and King George 111. It further
appears that on the-third of April, 1772, there
was born of his marriage a daughter, who was
baptised by the name of Olive; in the presence
of the Earl of Chadian: and Lord Ashburton.
In the SUMO yead in which thin infant first
ai peered, I e • fath• r the Duke of Ct.mberlaml,
married again with 'Lady Annie Horton. This
action incensed the King very Much ; he , re
fused to reeognizethis second wife, and, un.
-der-1 he-excitement-of-a (3-m oment, -enact e I
the royal Marriage act, which forbids a mem
ber of the royal family„from marrying a sub
ject. Ile, however, anxious to protect his
brother from, the punishment his bigamy In
curred, directed that the child should be ro
baptised
nutter the name of Wilmot, but at the
same time created her the Duchess of Lances,
ter, made prbvieions fir an :sual income for
her, and had the ftil k4 lewing document drawn
up:
," George R.--We declare the birth of Olive,
the infant of the Duke of Cumberland by Olive,
his Du - chess, to be legitimate, whoiscondemn
eti (c; priincy by the act of bigamy committed
by her royal father-, _ . .
"(Signed). WARWICK, (Signed), DIJATLIAM, • •
WILMOT. DUNNING."
So'llie child grew up under, the name of
Wilmot, residing principally with her grand
father. Dr. Wilmot, at Barton. on-the-Heath.
In 17112 elm :parried a Mr. John Scrres. Sev
eral yearsAtter her marriage-that is, in 1815
- (Ito lateturl of Warwick revealed to her the
secret of her . tint', and informed her of the
will of George 111. in which he gives and be•
(media to "Olive; our brother of Cumberland's
daughter, the sum of -£15,000, commanding
our heir end successor to pay the same pri
vately to our said niece for her use, as a re'-
camps:lse for the misfortunes she may havo
known through tier, father."
The Duke of Kent, satisfied alba authen- •
ticity of this and other documents, befriended
Serrea up to the day of his death, and
on his death-bed wrote:
t• Should l not. recover, I recommend my
dear cousin'Olive to my - wife, who will, for my
sake, love and servo her until she recovers .
her royal eights. I solemnly recommend my
daughter to revere the Priucese Olive of Cum.
berland formy sake. EDWARD."
And again :
"If this paper meelit my dear Alexandrine's
eye, my dear cousin Oltve. will present it,
is-hot:Any daughter will, for.my sake. I hope, ,
love and servo, should I depart this life.
' EDWARD."
Such are the alleged facts of the case. And •
now Mrs. Lavinia Jeanette'llortop /lyres, the
eldest daughter of Mr. and hrs. Berm], claims
the reveuu , s of the Duchy of Lancaster, a
mounting to £1,004,044 Envying. andialso • -
£29;6Y0 as bequests from the nye! family.
ThB petitioner claims to be ..Pr!noess of Cum
berland and Duchess of Lancaster, as the
'grand daughter and lineal rei re3:npli , e, in
the female line, of his late Royal Righness •
henry Frederick, Duke of Cumberland, who „.
died intestate in the year 1790." .
This remarkable case is attracting the ears..)4 k ,
nest attention of the English ~prees. IL in-qtt';'i.'"
volvos a property question to the amount of
five and a half millions of dollars. The trial
will excite interest-both at home and an' sia

cases, it hinges opt a question, of legitimacy, .
which will requiroali the skill of the highest
