Farewell, Eliza! since I love thee not,
"Fwer.o sacrilege to link my hand with thine;
For what enjoyment could attend thy lot,
If I with frozen heart should call thee mine
Yarowell, Eliza f shed no tears for me;
Nor let my falsehood wring thy gentle breast,
Some faithful youth may yet be dear to thee,
And thou may'st live in love supremely blest.
Farewell, Eliza! and remember still
Thy love though faithless, is unhappy too;
.By luckless love betray'd to every ill,
jie finds not happiness inleaving you.

&nm
The Rev, Dr, W was chaplain to the
,Countess of .Elgin, when that lady resided at
.Shrowsbury House,Shoorer's Hill, with her pupil,
the Princess ,Ctuirlotte of Wales. The learned
and pious Doctor, ,in addition to his clerical duties,
had the honor ,of .assisting in her Royal High
,ness's early education; for this office a competent
salary was allowed, .which he received in London,
ovary half year, ,from thesp,pointed agent. -
It was on the occasion of one of these visits to
town, that he .bethought. him of certain sums due
. to him from the ,parents.and guardians of the lads,
whom he was .in ,the habit of prepanng for their
first military appointments,* as gentlemen cadets,
."teaching their young ideas how to shoot," by
theoretically .expounding the .science of gunnery,
jn which he well knew they would soon have no
Jack of practice.
Taking advantage, Accordingly, of his trip to
London, he gathered in the sillier, from most of
the sources whence itought. naturally to flow; so
that the sum-total of the collection formed a very
considerable uconsideration," hut his call on tha
various parties concerned detained him in the me
tropolis till nearly ten o'c!ock of a clear, though
starless and moonless night, early in January.

Georgea's own pace of four mike an hour.

, page, whenever, he came-to town; but the ostler,
on hearing his, order to,upot to," at ten o'clock,
exclaimed, cordially--
ioDear heart alive! who'd a thought it sir ',—
Why, I Madiroure, Sir; you was agoing to stop in
London all night. I've been in three minds about

d Money or life' is all them chaps do say !"
This good-natured friend's" broad hints
as to the perils of the road failed to deter the stout
Doctor from seating himself in his chaise, which
he drove out of the yard, to the accompaniment of
honest Jim's repeated warning , --
• "Mark my words, Master! you may wish you'd
took a fool's advice; butLuda massy send 'e safe
borne that's all the harm Ido wish 'e !"
Steady George soon brought his matter to the

turnpike, about half a mile beyond the Bricklay
er's Anna, At the sound of wheels the collector
issued from his minute mansion, recognised the
traveller, put his foot on the stop of the chaise,
and leaning forward, whispered--
• "Be on your guard, Sir ! They are out to
night !"
. Thus satisfying his conscience, he flung open
the gate, closed it after the driver, and re-entered
the toll-house.
The lovers of white bait, the visitants of fair or
college, now Lind almost one continuous street
from London to Greenwich ; but at the time with
which I deal not more than three houses, and
those off the road, existed between the turnpike
just left behind, and the Centurion at Deptford.
Nursery-grounds and asparagus-beds occupied the
way-sides, and, in , Booth; to quote our raven , Jim,
it was a ..baddish hit." Yet the ostler's croakings
had not affected the Doctor, as did the brief em
phatic caution from him of the pike against those
of the pistol. His anxiety was now awakened for
the “great charge" ho carried, and next to the cer
tainty of being met by some moon's minions, such
as, before and since the immortal attack at Gads
hill, have conspired t 6 confer upon this district a
redoubtable and by no means desirable notoriety.
Yet the Doctor bad promised Mrs. W— to sleep
at home ; and, could ho ever have broken his
word, he must have kept faith in such a case. So
feeling, as became him, that whatever might hap
pen must be for the best, he heroically concluded
his mental soliloquy with "I care not what man
can do unto me !"
Nevertheless, it was not without a sense of alarm
that lie presently beheld two horsemen a few pa
ces before him, proceeding at almost a walk, appa
rently in earnest conversation.
What was to be done? Returning were as te
dious as going o'er ; besides, he had resolved to
brave all danger and push on. Therefore, jerking
the rein to stimulate the exertion of his trusty
nag, he was shortly a step a-head of the equestri
ans, who saluted him with a °Good night," in such
hearty, honest tones, as well nigh disarmed suspi
cion, In return for their courtesy, be echoed
"Good night !" adding, "and a pleasant journey
to ye, gentlemen,"
"We are not going far," answered one; "for we
hear the road is unsafe, and have no taste for losing
watch, money—perhaps more."
ul wonder," put in the other, uto see you, Sir,
alone at this time and place; but perhaps we are
misled, and ought to be ashamed of ourselves for
having owned our fears to a gentleman who seems
to care little for the ill name of the neighbour
hood."
"Gentlemen," resumed the Doctor, with as
nonchalant an air as he could assume, "1 often
travel this road ; and believe that I have discover
ed the secret of how to escape robbery."
"Indeed, what is it I" asked ono of the horse
men quickly.
""Why, in the first place, I never carry any
thing about me worth taking ; and, in the second,
I should never offer any resistance—so I don't
think there's a gentleman on the road, from Black
heath to Barham Downs, who would disgrace
himself by maltreating a poor fellow, old enough
to be his father; for they are'rnostly young men,
and must bo brave ones who follow the culling,
you know."
"True," replied the shortest rider, and turning
to his companion, concluded,
"Well, then, I say, Captain, as the gentleman's
prod is none of the quickest, and we've business
on hand, let's be jogging."
"With all my heart," quoth his friend; "once
again good night t'ye Sir." And off they rode at
a smart pace.
The Doctor doted on their absence; his charita
ble opinion, founded on their first addresses, was
banished by those ominous words "captain" and
"business," either dropped inadvertly, or spoken
with a candour at once defying his power, and
claiming his gratitude for their confiding forbear
ance.
Reaching Deptford, he perceived that the people
of the public house had not yet retired to bed ; he
felt tempted to prevail on one of the inn's militia
to escort him home; but remembering that a
league frequently existed between that class of
persons and . those he dreaded to encounter, he re
frained from asking protaition so equivocal. To
shake off “thick coming fancies," often more_in
timidating than bodily assailants, on ho drove.
From the Broadway to Midway up Blackheath
bill, the security afforded by houses thickly. scat
tered, if .I may be allowed such &phrase, arrifed to
tranquilize his nerves for the time; but his
spirit felt the consciousness that he had before him
yet the very worst part of Jim's 4.baddish bit."—
Leisurely did the old horse wend his way up the
precipitous hill, crowned by the Green Man, famed
for its spacious ball room, and long, low, and nar
row tea room, where bad hyson, worse coffee, and
discourse as slip-slop, regaled, in those days, the
half-gentry of the vicinity. We live in an age of
improvement—not too often meeting with (even)
half-gentry now.
Small thought had the Doctor on matters like
these. Leaving behind him the dense atmosphere
which London spreads around itself so far, he
found the air clear as he approached L' Hamme
Vert, and the sky enlightened by "the poetry of
Heaven," as Byron called the stan,, though be did
not prove them so. The Doctor's admiration of
their beanie was more prosaic; he felt grateful for
any means of descrying the objects near him, and
so gaining time, that he might screw his courage
to the sticking place, whatever place that may be;
for, veracious as he had ever been till this perilous
night, he did intend sticking, or rather whipping,
if forced to defend his money with his life.
Gaining the hill's top, before him lay the long
straight road that led to his own house. Shoot.
er's bill was dimly visible, and the light colour of
the soil, contrasted with the dark award on either
side, enabled him to perceive two men on horse
back, their faces turned towards London, stationed
one on either side of the path.
“I have fallen among the Philistines !" inward
ly ejaculated the Doctor, casting a wistful look at
the inn; not a solitary candle denoted that any one
was still awake there. His heart boat violently
as he passed between the horsemen, who, instant
ly turning their steeds, sidled up to the carriage.
In a moment he recognized the pair he had previ
ously overtaken. "Arcades (mho, id eat, black
guards, both," be would have quoted, bad the line
then been written ; yet, although cold perspiration
ran down his ample forward, and excitement near

ly choked his utterance, he lost not his self-com
mewling, ready-witted presence of rairid.
"Well met again, Sirs," he began; "yon have
not made up your minds to proceed, I see—wish
you had, for I should have been happy in your
company."
"How far do you go to-night r asked the one
called the captain. •
"Why, whether I get so far as Rochester, or
not, must depend upon circumstances."
ot see by your bat," said the other, "that you
belong to the clergy. Is your living in Kent 1"
"Yes, I get my living in Kent," laughed the
Doctor; "I belong to St. Nicholas, who I presume,
is your patron saint, gentlemen."
This innocent ruse was unintelligible to its
hearers. W found that he must suit his
conversation to his party, with so heavy a stake
depending on the chance of the company coming
to a good understanding—that is a misunderstand
ing on ono side, agreeably safe for the other.—.
Accordingly he said, with much significance,
"This hat of mine stands me in good stead ; it
covers more than you think; and this old fashioned
chaise holds more than a new-fangled gig could.
A man might manage to stow away a good many
pieces of bandanas under the seat, when going to
leave cards from Mechlin or Valenciennes, on la
dies in town. D'ye happen to know a woman at
Chatham, who goes by the maim of Mother Moon-'

"I believe I've hoard of such a person," said
the captain.
"Ah—well, if ever you should want anything
either in the shape of dry goods, or a tub or two of
white Nantz, I could introduce you to her."
"Thank you kindly," said one.
"You know the road thoroughly, it seems 1"
added tie other.
"Every bush on it, my masters; hut it isn't what
it used to be, when Slim Billy took his airings
late. They wcrn't good for his health in the end,
though."
"What, did you know poor Bill V' asked the
captain.
“Aye, that I did—and was with him to the
last.”
"You be hanged ! at least Bill was."
"Nay, Sir, that's as ugly a word for me to hear,
as for you to
. use," took up the Doctor, his heart
set on conciliating his fellow travellers; ' , aye, oven
in my quiet snug - way, those who don't live
slaves to the rules laid down by the twelve, can't
remember poor Bill's end without queer feelings;
but I was given leave to be with him at the very
tree, we shall pass it presently, not far from the
castle. 'Doctor,' says he to me"—
"Doctor?" shouted the henchman,.
'ern be sure, he knew my travelling name, as
well as I knew he was called the Pride of the
Green. 'Doctor,' says he, 'if ever you meet any
of my old cronies, tell 'em I died like a man; and
as for the parson, you shall have it to swear that
ail I said here, from first to last, was to you; so, if
any of the shops ere ever going to trent you unciv
illy, you just cry, 'Onion sauce !' they'll know my
pass word.' "
' , Vona of your sauce, my fair trader," said the
captain, "that word won't pass now, if ever it did;
'tis my belief, Slim Billy was game to the end, and
humbugged you."
"Lord, Sir," said the Doctor, "did you never
hear why he chose that pass 1"
"No; but if you can toll us, out with it."
"You see, as our friend—my friend— William,
I should say, gentlemen, drew the principal part
of his revenue, collected in, his rents, on Shoulder
of Mutton Green, he thought onion sauce the fit,
test garnish for his favorite dish."
"The wag! that's just like him," laughed his
former associates, and the Doctor, per force, laugh
ed with them. •
Brown George, with home. in perspective, had
stepped outmanfully, or rather horsefully, so that
our trio had made considerable way across the un
inclosed portion of the heath, during their "collo
quy divine." An isolated public-house, denomi•
noted "the Sun in the Sands," stood on the left
side of the road, about midway from the com
mencement of Blackheath to the bottom of Shpot
er's Hill. This house, like the Bell at Hounslow,
wits, in those days, a chosen resort of •the Tro

in couples. The inhabitants of this hotel were
seldom "objective" to the garish eye of day; but

knights of tho post found jugs of smoking spicy

all other ills which the breathers of night air "are

"In course; he won't part comparty,Whert he

down the road with him,—eh, Doctor 2"
To enter this house, where his person was
known, nut only as a clergyman but as a justice of
peace, would have been fatal to my revered friend's
“Cognito." Almost within sight of his home to
be detected as an imposter by perhaps a host of
desperadoes—at another sacrifice of truth he must,
if possible, evade such a catastrophe.
"You're very kind, my good friends," said he,
"but you know as well as I do, there are secrets
in all trades. Sharp, the landlord, is a straight up,
right down honest:fellow in his way, but we had
a bit of a tiff lately about a small parcel of Hol.
lands, and I swore that I'd never set foot in his
house again. However, don't let that hinder you.
I shan't have got to the top of the hill before you
have taken. your swig, and come up with me."
"No, deuce take it!" said the captain; "we're

you're one of us, I may say."
"Proud of the compliment, Sir; but, if it's all

old horse put his best foot foremost. The stran
gers interchang..d some words in a patois or slang,
of which their auditor was ignorant, and the foot
of the hill was gained !
The Doctor's brain reeled, his unwelcome com
panions had hitherto preserved the poaitions they
lied originally assumed. His aim was now to get
rid at least of the man at his right, the side on
which his own house stood. Accordingly when
within a hundred yards of it, he said to him,-
4.lsiow, Sir, if you will ride forward, and knock
lustily at the Bull door, it will be open long before
this sluggard of a horse of mine can drag me
there."
"A bright notion," said Ned, and trotted off to
obey the instructions. This was a great point
gained, but, scarcely was it achieved, when to his
unutterable satisfaction, our Doctor beheld a lan-'
tern at his wished-for gate, home by his sturdy
male factotum, followed by the powerful yard dog,
Neptune; Their master could scarcely breath for
agitation; every moment seemed an age till he ar
rived at the opened gate, when suddenly turning
to his companion, he said
"Thank you foryour company, Sir ; hut, as I
am at home now, I can wish you a good night,
with pleasure !"
The fellow, completely taken aback by these
words,and the sight of the servant and the dog,
and the lantern, galloped furiously after his sec
ond, who was, sure enough, thundering away at
the Bull door.
"Ride, Ned, ride on, you fool !" veiled the cap

"A moment, and ho was joined by his brother in

My excellent preceptor used to narrate this ad

onTh'is preservation; with modesty,—nay, with
some half-comic penitence—on the conduct and
courage to which, as his eleves were not training
for the church, they naturally and justly yielded
their unqualified admiration.

"WALKING IN THE FooTstEes."--The
Albany Evening Journal remarks :
"'file author of the letter to Sherrod
Williams" began to "walk in the footsteps"
of Jackson on the sth of March. Since
that time, which is but seven months, he
has lost the States of North Carolina, Rhode

November ! Illinois and Louisiana are kn.
patient for the opportunity of slipping the
collar."

lacing her ways tightly to procure a thin
waist, which circumstance had caused a pre
disposition to acute inflammation. •
