[The following is the celebrated poem by Whittier
which was not allowed to be sung by the Uutchinsons
on the other side of the Potomac, certain Oe4era'shav

the poem is suggested by a, famous hymn of Martin
Luther; "Bin' Neste Borg ist"tmser Gott."J

It came into our possession quite unexpect
edly, as a legaQ: left by an old friead of my
husband. It was described in the will as a
iessuage or tenement, although it was actu-
ally the remains of an old Norman castle.
Lawyers are precise in their language, but
certainly nut descriptive ; and there was 114
getting any correct idea of the place without
a personal visit. The small wood-cut and
the two inches of history which we found re
specting it in a book upon the Antiques of
6ussex were sufficient to excite our curiosity ;
but not sufficient to satisfy it. With as lit
tle delay as possible, my husband went down,
and his letters were enthusiastic, not to say
rapturous. He had always a strong passion
for the middle ages (which, I must say,
I never thoroughly shared), and I was not
surprised when he suddenly returned, and
gave an order for our immediate removal.
It was rather late in a very line autumn,
and although we had only just back
from a lengthened stay at the seaside, we
closed our London establishment once more,
as my husband was bent upon passing the
Christaias' at his new property. There was
something so novel and exciting in trans
planting ourselves direct from a rather dull
modern square, with not even a black statue
of a statesman to give it an historical flavor,
to a veritable castle in one of the oldest
counties of England, full of legends and tra
ditions, and venerable with age, that I was
rather pleased than otherwise with the pros
pect of the change
Our arrival produced no very great excite
ment in the surrounding neighborhood,. for
the position of Rubble Castle (that was the
title it went by) was somewhat lonely. There
were several bleak bills, a scrap of moor
like common, and a bit of ragged forest near
the Oleo, and the village was four miles dis-
Jant. How such a 'baronial' dwelling came
the handli 'of the late owner. (gr. Van
'dal) we never; precisely knew, though we
gnesso it Was. an 'unredeemed mortgage,'
' Our reinovid. 'wus attended withconeidera,
blpiinconyenience,- Our servant.s lvoro nn-
'toyed at leaving LondO,n and more annoyed
at 'being conveyed to what I heard them
call a downright 64 penictentsharry." • The
cOaohnian and footman became friendly
- for - the - first—time-since- they had-been --in
Ours. service ; the -old female cook, prestim
ing-en her length of servitude, Was:rebel
lious ; the two house-maids were sulky and
obsti,nate ; my own maid was unusually
prim Mul severe;. and. the only one who
seemed to enjoy the change was little Wad
dles, our page.
Every room of Our dreary castle was a
passage, rind every passage was a Vault. It
looked an imposing place:from the outside,
with its turrets, its drawbridge, its portcullis,.
its towers, its. moat (which made the- lower'
apartments very damp); its arched doorways;
battlements, and littlo peep-holes of windows;
but inside:. there, was not ; a roomto "use, a

post it 41 hole in the thick stone wall,
like a cell. Call it a porter's lodge, or giv e
it any:lino' name you will, but you cannot
alter the place. It was an unmistakable
toll, Worse than ninny I saw at the model
pristin,.where burglars and such people were
humanely confined for their crimes. The
old warder's duty was to attend to theport-
cullis and . drawbridge (the only entrance
neross 6.113 Moat), and he would allow no ono
to interfere with him. He had worked that
and that drawbridge before the
present„ generation Fas t born, before the
family possessors of Rubble Castle went
gradually to the bad, and sold-or mortgaged
their ancient property and he was not in the
humor to be assisted by our coachman or
footman, even if either of those lacy and dis
satisfied menials had offered their inexperi
enced services. The portcullis and draw
bridge, were old—absurdly old—the ma
chinery was antiquated, rusty, and goner
allyout of order, and.the process, in the old
warder's himds )?f lotting any person in or
out, was fL noisy creaking performance that
lasted nearly half an hour.
There was little time left for moping
about or even thoroughly examining the place,
for some of the visitors—whom niy.husband
had invited, with his usual inipetuosity, to
give the place a warming.—were expected
early in the course of the next day. We did
what we could with mouldy hangings and
scanty furniture, made som6 centuries before
upholstery was rid-e to the dignity of an
art; and, by the aid of enormous fires roar-
lug up forge like ehimney:4, we produced the
appear ofcomfort, if not the reality.
The sattiiiits4 were not at all reconciled to the
placg4iiturther acquaintance, and they
considered the whole removal as something
little better than joining a gang of gipsies.
It' their situations had not been good, and
their master and mistress / had not boon in
dulgent, I believe the whole body would have
tendered their resignation without a mo-
nent's hesitation.
The 'first v;sitors who arrived were Mrs
and Miss Gushington, un enthe- 4 rstie widow
with her more enthuslastin '‘sliter. They
were in raptures with the ettle, as 1 fully
expected, and I was very glad of it, as it was
a good example to set the servants.

Unfortunately many .1' our guests wen ,
not disposed to exehange the comforts of
modern civilization for the barbarity 4 the
middle ages, without an unandablii struggle.
Such were old Mr. Croweomb and his wife.
They lied got the best apartment in the cas
tle—stony, of course,—that could not be
helped ; but a room tit for a queen—in the
middle ages.
They did not complain direct to me or Mr.
Coggleshall ; but Mrs. Croweomb's maid,
made frequent application for impossible
things in the kitchen. Our servants in their
present temper took care too convey this to
me, as a hint of their own deplorable condi
tion. v,
A communication was opened with the
neighboring village (four miles distant) for
the purpose of victualling the garrison. Con
sidering the extent and the unusual charac
ter of the demand, we were tolerably well
served ; and it was amusing to see the old
warder going through all the forms of chal
lenging the butcher's boy in his cart, on the
other side of the moat, as if as if he had been
an invading army. When he came for or
ders, to save the trouble of letting down the
old, cranky drawbridge they were shouted
through a speaking trumpet thrust through
a slit of a window.
,The first serious difficulty that I experi
enced in the victualling department vas
with the cook, who could find nothing in the
shape of kitchen utensils with which she felt
disposed to risk her professional 'reputation
before company.
44 It's all very well, mim," she said, 4 4 for
born saviges, which was content to eat their
meat raw from the points of daggers, but it
woiasuit my books."
I presume that she alluded to the - manners
and the customs; of the middle-ago barons at
their 'repasts though I did not inquire
further. To get over the difficulty,' without
more discussion, I took her to the armory;
and Made a selection of helmets, breastplates,
and a-variety of odd metallic-things -that-I
knew nothing " , about; sufficient to set up
a cook in business at a public club-house.

rupting him, " we want to know the cause."
$. Ah 1" said the venerable adjunct of the
place, with a chuckle, that's more nor. you_
nor I can toll. It cum loike that about a
week after old Sir Cleaves .died, an' they do
say—"
This was sufficient for my husband, who
bad a special dislike for the old warder's leL,
gends, and he dismissed the aged seFNiaJik
without further questioning. - The nekt day;
we sent to the town for a surveyor—a per- ,
son not easily found in those parts—and his_
report (which cost us fifty pounds,) could
only tell us that, in former tkmes, the moat
was supplied with water from a spring; that
this spring had dried up from natural caus
es; that there was no means at hand for a.
bating the nuisance except by boring' for .
water to flush the moat, or by clearing out
the mud altogether. We adopted neither of
these expensive suggestions ; but temporarily
kept off the enemy by a liberal application
of chloride of lime.
We had groat trouble with our only child,
Alexander, aged nine years, who was home
for his holidays. lie had made a eompanion
of little Waddles, our fat page, and together
they scaled such giddy heights upon the tow
er-battlements, that it made everybody's
heart sick to see them. When this amuse
ment was denied to them, and the ways of
access were closed and guarded to the upper
parts of the castle, they let themselves out
of an arrow-hole, or window, by a rope into
a dry part of the moat, and were lost to the
inhabitants of the castle for many hours.—
When they, at last, applied for re-admission
across the draw-bridge, they were one mass of
dry, light colored dirt front head to foot, and
tiny had great, difficulty in making them
selVCS known to the old warder. Their story
was that a treacherous part of the moat had
given way, and plunged them up to their
necks in the ancient mud. They had run
about the common and forest until they felt
dry and comfortable, and thought they look
ed decent, when they had presented them
selves a little before dusk, under the notion
that they might enter unobserved. Alexan
der had spoiled a new suit of clothes, and
little Waddles had utterly destroyed his liy-
Scarcady had we recovered from this fright
when we heard piercing shrieks issuing from
the'north turret, where Mrs. and Miss Gush-
ngt,ai taken up theirquartera, If it had
lot been for the courage of Mr. Cog-gleshalli
I believe that 110 one would have ventured
0 investigate the cause of these sounds of
error; for Mr. Cm weondi distinctly statei
that lie was neither a hero, nor a crusader,
and the servants were already leginning to
adieve in strange stories of white and red
ladies who walked by night With great
wounds in their breasts up and down the
corridors. it r. :Coggleshall, with most
praiseworthy promptitude, seized a thick
stick, and went direct to the room: :Mariana
(Miss Gushington) was preparing herself for
dinner. lie found that young lady with dis
hevelled hair, crouching in a corner of the,
room, and staring wildly at two large hats,
Who were starting at her from two opposite
corners
Coggloshall led the roinantior
yonag lady out of the room; and, after a
short struggle, lie put the two animals to
Hight. It turned out afterwards, that Mari
ana had ()lamed the turret window to gaze
at the rising- autumnal moon, when the two
brutes flew suddenly in, and nearly knocked
her down in their entry.
The other isitors arrived before we sat
down to dinner—the )lisses Tutlury, maid
en sisters, living On 0-11-1 r prOpOiqy-; and-at
last, after many ditlitmltie: in the series of
vaults which did duty for the kitchen, the
great anew of the day was served at exact

The repnst was plain, but ample—baronial,
in fact, and s:itisfactory enough, in its way;
but the Motinan Dud coachman thought prop

for a long jalrney outside a coat h. The dross
first caught my eye, but I said nothing; and
then it caught any husband's eye, who said a
great deal.

"John Thomas and James Williams,"
Coggleshall shouted across the table,
"what is the nil:awing of this?"
There was a little hesitation. Then the
footman, although the junior, put himself
forward to speak.
" I know what it is, sir, to which you
eludes but romnatiz is a thing that will come
to us 1111 sir, sooner or later, an it's wrong, it
is, to fly in the face of Providence.
Tho speech produced a sympathetic grunt
from Mr. Crowcomb; but it only enraged
Mr. Coggleshall still further.
"Take off that comforter, John Thomas,"
he said, "directly; and that ridiculous over
coat; and you, James William, either make
yourself a Christian waiter, or lease the work
to John Thomas. You're not driving the
Carlisle Ilighflyer against a north wind!"
'• Werry well, sir," replied the coachman,
"If you wish it ; but goin hoot o' this warm
room —which warm it is, compared with
these passidgos—"
An impatient gesture from Mr. Coggle
shall stopped any further conversation, and
the dinner was finished in silence.
During the afternoon, the wind had shift
ed round to the north', and our position was
no protection against the keenness of the
blast., Our screen from the_ south, compbsed

CASTLE.—Wo are glad to learn
that this interesting, ancient, historical and
lewd:Norman relic, has passed into the hands
of Udolpho Coggishall, Esquire, a gen tlem an
of-enlarged views and ample property, in
Whom we hope tq see those baronial glories
revived which have so long lain dormant on
der the icy manners of the late uncongenia
proprietor.
think my husband felt a little pride at
this paragraph; and, if so, it was soon
-checked by th e e receipt of a very largo claim
for poor-rates which came among the letters.
"A mostunjust assessment," lin exclaimed,
"and I shall certainly appeal against it. One
hundred and twenty pounds for poor rates'
Why what on earth do they reckon the rent
iv ,this—" he checked himself as he was about
to say something disrespectful of the place
and added calmly, "this castle ?"
"Ah I" replied old Mr. Crowcomb, takin'
up the conversation, "I thought as much
I thought as much. if you will be a baron
Coggleshall, you'll find you must pay fur it!'
We passed short day in viewing wha
little was to be seen in the surrounding emu'
try; made a pilgrimage to the nearest tows
—a very poor place in appearance—and re
turned to the Castle early in the afternoon.
When we returned in front of the draw
brige, we noticed two persons in long beards
and German hats, sketching from different
points, and we thought we saw a photograph-
is apparatus, moving off in the distance.
A. stout, elderly gentleman in a white neck
tie, with several other gentlemen of equal
age, but of very unequal size, were standing
near — the place. When Mr. Coggleshall made
the necessary signal to the warder, the stout
gentleman, who appeared to be the elected
spokesman of the party, advanced and said:
"Have I the plesaVe of addressing the
new proprietor of this noble relic?"
"I am the present proprietor," returucd
my h us ba n d
"lVe are the acting committee of the
West Sessex, or B pi-vision of the British
Archie°logical Association," continued the
stout gentleman paused for reply.
"it is a proud but an onerous poAti,,n
which you occupy," continued the t.toutgell
tlemon,
PT exactly understand you, sir," re
plied' Mr. Coggleshidl, white we all listened
with interest.
"IVlietel 'say proud," roturned the stout
gentleman, mran in owning the root
which once sheltered the great Rufus (railed

port. when I say onerous, I mean in refer

the committee, or deputation, at this spee,h:
and tall gentlemen stooped to whisper to

" No, sir, pardon me," returned the stout,
gentleman, very excitedly, "not, exactly so
in this case. If I may be allowed the ex
pression, your country has an historical lien
upon these hal'owed walls, and We Wait up
on you, as guardians of local archleological
monuments, to satisfy ourselves that the
place will receive no injury in your hands."
"Then, sir," replied in husband very
coolly, "with every respect fur my country.
and the association you so ably represent, I
must decline to satisfy you upon that point."
You are not the possessor of a vulgar
house," returned the stout gentlemen, with
much energy; "you are the recipient of a
sacred trust. Remove but one brick of that
trust,—desecrate but one stone,—and the voice
of civilized Europe will be raised in one uni
versal yell of indignation against you!"
The drawbridge, governed by the feeble
and ancient warder, had by this time descen
ded slowly to its place, and we prepared to
cross it.
"Good day," said my husband, turning
politely to the stout gentleman, and the
deputation, who seemed to be astonished nt
the unsatisfactory result of their spokesman's
tact and eloquence.
"Good day, Sir," replied the stout gentle.
man raising his hat with dignity. "Remem

_We were disappointed upon our return at
not finding an expected visitor, Mr. Coggle
shall, Sr., the father of my husband. He
had writton to say he would arrive at the
railway station by a certain train, and we
dead sent the coachman over with a carriage
to meet him. The train arrived, but no Mr.
Coggleshall, and the servant had come back
as ho went.
Dinner passed over much the same as the
day before, except that ono of the maids had
to wait in the place of John Thomas, the
toothier', who had gone to bed with a violent
gold and 'face-ache.' • The • soup was greasy,
and the nieat, was half-raw, for the cook had
hecome more rebellious, having been with.
out'eny authoritative supervision during the
'day: The . night Was 'even a little colder than
the last; - and - wo - retired - to - our - stonrolitire=
hers, if anything a little earlier.
In the morning, •the' first thing thht met
'my eye,"ns' I looked somewhat eiirly out of
our window, which commanded a vie* of
the btf4cOnntry, in frorit of the castle, was a
shabby four wheeled fly, standing immediate

ter side of the moat;' isTiiai the fly 'Was a bony

- Snmething.strneklasjoth, seeing the liprse
rdi'l
disengaged from the Vehicle, that Mr. Cog
gleshall, senior, had passed thenight in front
of the moat, being unable to make the old
warder hear. We at once hastened down to
the cell or lodge, and aroused the venerable
servant, who was still sleeping soundly,
dreaming, perhaps, of the glories of the past.
Mr. Coggleshall, who is rather impatient,
having assured his father through the speak
ing trumpet that his presence was observed,
very foolishly ventured to try his hand at
the portcullis. Neither he nor the old war
der was able to move it. They both strug
gled, the firmer the old barrier kept its place.
It soon became evident that some hours
might elapse befttre the passage would be
again opened; and in the meantime Mr.
Coggleshall, senior, who was, no doubt, tired
out with waiting all night, would lose all
patience at any further delay. My husband
conveyed the melancholy intelligence to his
exhausted parent through the speaking trum
pet, and received, in reply, some faint words,
the meaning of which was eked out by Un
ruistakablo gestures of indignation. In this
position the idea struck my husband, that
Mr. Cuggleshall, senior, might he hauled
through the window by which Alexander and
little Waddles gut into the dry part of the
moat.
The proposal having been made to the oh
gentleman, he seemed reluctantly. to give hi.
consent,. and walked to the point indicatec
by his son. He got down the outer bank o'
the moat, Ifrid crossed it with 9mne difficulty,
and thci't came the all-important and hcaNy
task of hauling him up to the window.
By this time most of our visitors had join
ed us; and the general opinion seemed to be
that he was a very large and heavy man,
and that when elevated to a level with the
small slit of a window-hole, lie would never
be able to squeeze himself through. After
some minutes (.1* sus pe n,e, the purple lace of
Mr. Coggleshall, senior was seen through the
aperature ; and it was evident to all that he
ebuld he hauled no further in that direction.
"Udolpho," said )Er. Coggleshall, 60111.,r,
with as much indignation as he could com
mand in his peculiar position, "what is this?”
"I assure you," replied my husband, with
sorrow and humiliation.—
"Kept out all night," interrupted M r. Cog
gleshall, senior; "and now drawn up by a
common rope ton rat-hole! 'Fry a cram , , sir,
for you tither. Try a crane !"
A sudden twinge of the face-ache, which
John Thomas felt at this moment, caused
him to let go his hold upon the rope ; and
the leas of support sent Mr. Coggleshall.
si•uior, gliding rapidly down the castle wall
once more into the moat.
We rushed to thelaLttlements, and saw him
hiciting the shabby groom to put the horse
in the lly as quiekly us possible ; and, when
the vehicle wrrs ready he got into it. With
out giving one t ,, Ward, castle and
his penitent relatives, he ire away in the
direction of the neighboring town.

"Which," said my husband, “I have de

man's castle will not do for his house."

both seasonable and sensible. \ c commend

and learn the duty of self-siterifice when the
great intere,ts of country, hone., liberty and
humanity are at stake:—
Unreasonable Murmurs
Why complain of your burdens? Suppose
it be true, even to the extent which the ex
aggerators make it, that the war has imposed
upon us heavy taxes, and relidered the strict
est economy necessary to inept the enhanced
prices of every article which we have to buy,
have weary reasonableground of complaint?'
There is no substantial good obtained with
out exertion ;in(' self-denial, arid no class of
men is exempt from labor it' they expect to
thrive in their callings. Strength, health,
time, money are severely taxed by those who
c.\ peel. to succeed in their various handicrafts.
Why, then, should we shrink from the bur
den, when some great political evil is to be .
averted, or sonic signal natioiti;l"g,rod is to
be achieved? We are constituent parts of
the nation, with which our prosperity and
life are bound up; and it cannot sutler or
triumph wihout our participating in its fate.
So thought our revolutionary fathers who
freely expended their precious blood and
treasure, that they 'night enjoy the blessings
of a fir' government, and transmit this Ides
sing to their posterity. We so far frOm
blming, applaud their sacrifices, and fully
believe that the end achieved was worthy of
the cost. Now, it has become our turn to
struggle, after their example, for national
hit's. An unholy War ha, been thrust upon
us, and as to the evils which it brings in its
train we are compelled to encounter and
overcome to the best of our ability. The
war is ast upendotts one, and ho,:ost of it en6r.S .

would never have been repeated. if we
love our nation—if we condemn its violators
—it' we cherish our dearest rights and privil

to pay for security. We are involved in a
frightful war with those who would be our
tyrannical and cruel muster., and the only
alternative is a base stibmission or a contin

,trels of long ago. Every note has borno
upon the air a tale of joy arid rapture—of
.arrow and sadne,s : They tell of dayS gone
by, and time bath given them a voice which
speak, to us of those who once breathed these
inelodics - -z-of what the3inow aro, and what
we soon shall be. My heart loves those met- ,
calks ; may they be mine to hoar till - life
shall end, and as I 'launch my boat" upon
the sea of eternity ; may their echoes be waft ,
ad to my ear, to cheer Inc on my pessago
from the scenes of earth and curthland
Give me the 'old paths i where we have
- wandered and culled the flowers of love and
friendship, in the days of Auld LangSyne,"
sweeter, far, the dells whose echoes have an 4
