Rheumatisms which have stood so long

"You know how to persuade, sir," said Cecilia.
"As far as I am concerned, I trust I shall over be
ready to sacrifice any feelings of pride, to spare
my father so much unoastness. With your per
mission, I will now go down into the cabin, and
relieve my companions from the worst of their

Though our homes aro on the sea;
And the stormy gales that. fill our sails
Are not more wild and free.

Nor tell the tale of olden time
To sigh for her buried brave, .
Who proudly sleep where the storied deep

To its last drop will riatintam;
Her eagle bears no craven crest—
Her stripe and her star no stain;
And the tale that's told by her silken fold.

CHAPTER V. CONCLUDED FROM OUR LAST. ,
Cecilia demurred a moment—tho idea of being
the confidant of a smuggler rather startled her;
but still,hor knowledge of what his intentions were
if sho might not reveal them, might be important;
as, perhaps, she might dissuade him. Sho could
bo in no worse position than she was now, and she
might bo in a much better. The,conduct ol Pick
ersgill had been such, up to the prerent, as 'to in
spire confidence; and,ulthough he defied the laws,
ha appeared to regard the courtesies of life. Co.
cilia was a courageous girl, and at length she re.
plied:—
"Provided what you desire me to keep secret
will not ho injurious to any one, or compromise
me, in my peculiar situation, I consent."
"I would not hurt a fly, iliss Ossulion, but in
self-defence, and I have too much respect fbr you,
from your conduct during our short meeting, to
compromise you. Allow me now to he very can.
did; and then,perhaps, you will acknowledge that,
in my situation, others would do the me; and,
perhaps, not show half so much forbearance.—
Your father, without any right whatever, inter.
(Ores with me, and my calling; lie attempts to
make me a prisoner, to have no thrown in jail;
heavily fined, and, perhaps, sent out of the coun
try. I will not enter into any defence of smug
gling; it is suffiviont to say, that there are pains
and penalties attached to the infraction of certain
laws, and that I choose to risk them—but Lord B.
was nut empowered by government to attack me
---it was a gratuitous act, and had I thrown him
and all his crow into the sea, I should have been
justified, for it was in short, an act of piracy on
their part, Now, as yo4r father hor;...thought to
turn a yacht into a revenue cutter, you cannot be
surprised at my retaliating, in turning het into
a smuggler; andel" he has mixed up looking after
the revenue with yachting,he cannot be surprised
if I retaliate by mixing up a little yachting with
smuggling. I have dressed your male compan
ions as smugglers, and have sent them in the
smug. ling vessel to Cherbourg, where they will
be safely landed; and I have dressed myself; and
the only person whom I could join with me in this
frolic, as gentlemen, in their places. My object
is twofold; one is, to land my cargo, which I have
now on board, and which is very valuable; the
other Is, to retaliate upon your father and his com
panions, for their attempt upon me, by stepping
into their shoos, and enjoying, for a day or two
their luvuries. It is my intention to make free
with nothing but Iris lordship's %vine and eatables,
—that you may bo assured of; but I shall have no
pleasure if the ladies do not sit down to the din
ucr•table with us, as they did berme with your,
father and his friends."
"You can hardly expect that, air," said Ceci.
"Yes, I do; and that will be not only the price
orthe early release of the yacht and themselves,
but it will also be the only means by which they
will obtain any thing to eat. You observe, Miss
Ossulton, the sins of the fiithers are visited on the
children. I have now told you what I mean to
do, and what I wish. I leave you to think of it,
and decide w bather it will not be best for all par-
ties to consent. You have my permission to tell
the other ladies, that whatever may be their con
duct, they are as secure from ill-treatment or
rudeness, as if they wore in Grosvenor Square;
but I cannot answer that they will not be hun
gry, if, aftersuch forbearance in every point, they
show so little gratitude as not to honor me with
their company."
"Then I am to understand, that wo are to be
stu rved into submission."
burst into a fit of laughter, it was too ludicrous.
At the same time the very burlesque reassured
` her still more. She went into the cabin with a
heavy weight removed from her heart.
In the meant ime,lliss Ossulton nod Mrs. Las.
cellos remained below, in the greatest anxiety at
....!ecilia's p olongod stay; they know not what to
dunk, and dared not go on deck. Mrs. Lasccl.
les had once determined at all risks to go up; hut
.Miss Ofsidton and l'haihe had screamed, and im-
Oared her mo fervently not to !mire them, that sho
40itvillingly consented to remain. Cecilia's coun•
'tertance, when she entered the cabin, reassured
Mrs. Laseelles, but not her aunt, who ran to her,
crying and sobbing, and clinging to her, saying,
"What have they done to y,,u, my poor; poor Co.
cilia?"
"7.'Zoti-7 , ig at all, aunt," replied Cecilia; "the
captain very tairly, and says that he shall
respect us in every possible wr..v., provided that
we obey his orders, hut if not—"
"If not—what, Cecilia?" said Miss Ossulton,
grasping ler niece's arm.
"Ho 1011 starve us, and not let us go!"
"God have mercy on us!" cried Miss Ossu!tun,
renewing her sobs.
Cecilia then went. to Mrs. Lascollos, and corn
municsted to her, apart, all that bad passed. Mrs.
J ascellas agreed with Cecilia, that They wore in
no danger of insult; and as they talked over the
neatti-rtbey at last began to laugh; there was a
novelty' in it, and there was something so ridicu
lous in all the gentlemen being turned into smog
glrrs. Cecilia was glad that she could not tell
her aunt, as she wished her to be so frightened,
as.nevor to have her company on hoard ofttie yacht
again; and Mrs. Lascelles was too glad to annoy
imr rot many and various insults received. The
molter was, therefore, canvassed - over very salts.
feCtorily, and Miss Lascelles fell a natural curl.

were feeling very hungry, now that their alarm
was over. They desired Phoebe to ask the stew

"Breakfait was laid in the cabin, and Lord B.
trusted that the ladies would comb to partake of
it."
"No, no," roplied firs. Lascolles,"l never can

"Nor will I go," replied Cecilia, "but I will

Cecilia wrote a note in pencil as follows:

The answer tvas propitious, and the sumer(
soon appeared with the breakfast in the ladies
cabin.
"Well Maddox," said Cedilla, "how do you get
on with your new master?"
The steward looked at the door to sea if it was
closed, shook his bead, and then said with a look
of despair, "He has ordered n haunch of venison
ter dinner, miss, and he
.has twice threatened to
toss me overboard."
"You must obey him, Maddox, or he certainly
will. These pirates are dreadful follows; be at
tentivo,and serve him just as it ho was my father."

"Steward!" cried Pickeisgill; Iron the cabin.
"0, lord!" he can't have heard me—d'ye think
he did, miss?"
"The partitions are very thin, and you spoke
very loud," said Mrs. Lascolles; "at all events, go
to him quickly."
"Good bye,miss; good bye,mit'am; if I shouldn't
see you any more," said Maddox, trembling with
fear, as ho obeyed the awful 81.11111110118—.-Whiell

Miss Ossulton would not touch the breakfast;
not so Mrs. Luscelles and Cecilia, who ate very
heartily.
"It's very dull to be shut up in this cabin," said
Mrs. Lascolles; "come, Cecilia, lot's go on dock."
j "And leave me," cried Miss Ossulton.
"There is Plimhe here, aunt; we aro going up
to persuade the pirates to put us all on shore."
Mrs. Lascelles and Cocilil peton their bonnets j
and went up. Lork B. took otihis hat,and begged
the honor of being introduced to the pretty wi
dow. He handed the ladies to a seat,and then com
menced conversing upon various subjects, which,
at the sometime, possessed great novelty. His
lordship talked about France, and described its
ports; told now and than a good anecdote; pointed
out the different headlands, bays,towns,and villa
ges,which they were passing rapidly, and always
had some little story connected with each. Bolero

themselves,to their infinite surprise,not only inte

them with confidence; they fully believed that
what he had told them was true, and that ho had
taken possession ofthe yacht to smuggle his goods
to be revengedoind to have a lough. Now none of
these three oiTences are capital in the eyes of the
fair sex; and Jack was a handsome, fine-looking
fellow, of excellent manners, and very agreeable
conversation; at the sometime, neither he nor his

"You do, indeed, encourage me,madam,to pur.

more sorry to prove myself unworthy of it."
As the reader will observo, every thing was go.

CILIPTER VI.-TIIE BAIUGOLINO YACHT
Cecilia returned to the cabin, to ascertain whe
ther her aunt was more.composed; hut Mrs. Las.
cellosremained on deck. She was much pleased
with Pickersgill; and thoy continued their con.
versation. Pickersgill entered into a defence of
his conduct to Lord B.; and Mrs. Lascolles could
not but admit the provocation. After a long con
versation, she hinted at his profession, and how
superior ho appeared to be to such a lawless life.
"You may be incredulous, madam," replied
Pickersgill. "if I tell you that I have he good a
right to quarter my arms as Lord B. himself; and
that Inm not under my real name. Smuggling
is, at all events, no crime; and I infinitely prefer
the wild life I lend at the head of my men, to bo
spurned by society because I um poor. The
greatest crime in this country is poverty. I may,
if I am fortunate, some day resume my name.—
You may, perhaps, moot me, and, if you please,
you may expose me." .
"That I should not 'be likely to do;" replied the
widow; "but still I regret to see a person, evident.
ly intended for better things, employed in so dis.
reputable a profession."
"I hardly know,'madam, what is and what Is
not disreputable in this conventional world. It is
not considered disreputable to cringe to the vices
ofa court, or to accept a pension, wrung from the
industry ofa nation, in return for base servility.

the less he came forward until his superior bud
established himself in the good graces of the la
dies, the more favors blo would be tho result.
In the mean time Cecilia hdd gone down to her
aunt, who still continued to wail and lament. 'rho
young lady tried all she could to console her, and
to persuade her that if they were civil and obodi.
ent they had nothing to fear.
"Civil and obedient, indeed!" cried Miss Ossul
ton, "to a follow who is a smuggler and a pirate.
I, the sister of Lord B. Never! The presumption
of the wretch!"
"I'hat is all very well, aunt; but recollect, we
must submit to circumstances. Those men insist
upon our dining with them; and wo must go, or
wo shrill have no dinner."
"I sit down with a pirate! Never! I'll have no
dinner-I'll starve—lll did"
"But, my dear aunt, it's the only chance wo
havo of obtaining our release; and if you do riot
do it, Mrs. Lascellos will think that you wish to
remain with them."
"Mrs. Undies judges of othor people by hor
self."
"The captain is certainly a very well behaved

guise. What an odd thing it would be, aunt, i '
this should be all a hoax'?"
"A hoax, child" replied Miss Oasulton, sitting
up on the sofa.
Cecilia Grand that sho had hit the right nail, as
the saying is; and she brought forward so many
arguments to prove that she thought it was a hoax
to frighten them, and that the gentleman above
was a man of •consequence, that her aunt began
to listen to reason, and at lust consented to join
the dinner party. Mrs. Lascelles now came down
below; and when dinner was announced, they re
paired to the loge cabin, where they found Pick

Miss Ossulton did riot venture to look up, until
she hoard Pickorsgill say to Mrs. Lascolles, "per

"Certainly, my lor'd," replied Mrs. Lascelles;
"Miss Ossulton; the aunt of this young' lady."
Mrs. Lascellos purposely did not inttoduce his
lordship in return, that she might mistily the old
spinster.
"1 feel highly honored in finding myself in the
company of Atirs Ossulton," said Pickersgill.—
