"And is my dear papa shut up in this dis• nod place,to which you are hiking use nurse? asked the Lady Lucy Pre -ton, iaising her eves fearfully to the tower of I melon,as coach in %Once she was seated,w ith Amy. Gradyvell, her cu rse, drove under the gate• She trembled and hid her face in A my's cloak, when they a lighted,and she saw the soldiers on guard, and the senti n els, with their crossed partizans, before the portals of' that part of the fortress where the prisoners of State were confined, nod where her own father, Lord Preston,of whim she was ceme to take her last farewell, was then confined under sentence of death. "Yes, my dear child," returned my,sor• iowfully ; "my Lord, your father, is indeed within these sad walls. You are now going' to visit him. Shall you be afraid ofentering this place, my dear?" "No," replied Lady Lucy, resolutely, 'I am not afraid of going to any place where toy dear papa is." Yet she clung closer to the arms of her attendant, as they were admitted into the gloomy precincts of the buildums, and her little heart fluttered fearfully as she glanced ;trolled her, and she whispered to her nurse: " as it not here that the two young prim ces, Edward the Filth, and his brother Rich• ard, Duke of York, were murdered by their cruel uncle Richard, Duke of Gloucester?" "Yes, my love,it was; but do not be alarm ed on that account,for no one will harm you," said old Amy, in an encouraging tone. "And was not good King Henry the Sixth murdered here also, by that same wicked Richard?'-' continued the little girl, whose imagination was full of the records of deeds of blood that had been perpetrated in this fatally celebrated placeonany of which had been related to her by Bridget lioldworth, the housekeeper, since her father had been imprisoned in the tower,on a charge of high treason. "But do von think they will murder papa, nurser' pursued the child, as they ascended the stairs leading to the apart went iu which the unfortunate hebleman was confined. "Hush! hush! dear child, you must not talk of these things here," said Amy, "or t hey will shut tt4 both up inn room with bolts and bars instead of admitting us to see my Lord, your father." • Lady Lucy pressed closer to her nurse's side, and was silent till they were ushered into the room where her father was °Hain. ed, when, f trget ting every thing 0.0? in ht.r joy at seeing him again, she sprang into his arms, and almost still,sl him with her kisses. Lord Preston WOR grCath, landed at the l eight of his little daughter, and, overcome by her passionate demonstrations of baidness, his own anguish at the thought of his :up proaching separation from her, and the idea of leaving her an orphan at her tender age, (for she had only just completed her ninth year, and had lust her mother,) he clasped her to his bosom,and bedewed her innocent lice with his tears. hy do you cry, dear papa?" asked the unu cent child, who was herself weeping al the sight of his distress. "And why will you not leave this gloomy place, and come home to your own hall again." ".dead to me, Lucy., and 1 will tell you he cause or 111 V sa id her fu her, seat • in. , the Intl, Hrl on his knee: -I shall never come again. I n 1 hive been condemned to die I,ir high Beason, which means an ,itfence against the King, and I shall not leave this place till the\ bring me fin th on Tower whine they will cut ill iii' head with /I sharp 'o', and set it up afterwards over Temple r, or Lond,inutrid;:e." At this terlible intelligence, Lady Lucy scream •d;dotal, and hid her face in het tether's ipesoin which she wetted with her "Be composed toy dear child," said Lord Preston, "lot I have touch io sly to vou,and we may never meet again on this side or the "No, no! dear papa," cried she, "they shall not kill u, tOi I %yid chit. , rro last to your neck, that they shall not ho able to cut your 'wad ti; and I will tell thorn a ll h o w good led kind you axe i and then they will not want Iu kill you." "11y dearest love, this is all simple talk ing," said Lord Preston. "I have °trended against the law as it is at present establish ed, by Ire ing to have my own old master, King James, restoi ed to the throne, and then-fore I roust die. D, you remember. Lucy, 1 took you M ICA! to ‘N hiteliall to see King James, and how kindly he spoke te you?" "Oh, yes, papa! and I recollect he laid hand on my head and said I was like what his daughter, the Princess of Orange, was al my age," replied Lady Lucy,vith great an nimatiou. "%Veil, my child, very shortly after you Saw King James at Whitehall, the Prince or Orange who married his daughter, came it% er to England and Wove King James out of his palace and kingdom, and the people made Iron and the Princess of ()lunge king and queen in his stead." "Rut was it not very wicked of the Prin cessof Orange to 3rau whti hot tiunkNucul take her father's kingdom from him? lam very sorry King James thought me like her," said Lady Lucy earnestly. "flush, hushi my love, you must not talk Si) of the Princess of Orange, for perhaps she considered she was doing right in depriv her - r :arc: e f I.is kingdom, Lt-cause had embraced Coo CathrOic rengion, and it is against the law for a king of Eugland to he a Catholic. Yet I Confess I did not be hove she would have marsented to sign the death warrants of so many of ber ~ Id servants,onk on account of their faithful attachment to him," said Lord Prestun,with at sigh. "1 have heard that the Princess of Orange is of a merciful disposition," said old Amy advanciii , towards their master, "and perlrips she might be induced to spare your life, my Lord. if 1 our pardon were very entreattd of her by some of your friends."' "Alas! my good A my, 1 have no one who will undertake the perilous office of solicit ing the royal grace for an anointed traitor, lest they should be suspected of flavoring the cause of King James " "Dear papa! let me go to the Queen, and beg for your paid , in," ci ied Lad, Luey,with n crimsoned cheek and sparkling eye. •'I will so beg and pray her to spare 'our life, dear papa,that she will not have the heart to deny me." "Siople child!" exclaimed her hither, "what should you, be able to say to the Queen that woulki be of any avail?" "God w•ilI teach the 'what to say, and he has power also to touch her heart with pity tior a child's distress, and to open her ear to my earliest petition." Her hither clasped her to his bosom and said. "Thou wouldst he afraid id speaking to the Queen, even it' t hou shouldst be admitted to her presence, my child." Why should I be afraid ofspeaking to the Queen, papa? for even if she would be angry with me and answer harshly, I should be thinking too much of you, father, to mind it; or if she were to send me to the Tower and cut offiny head, she could only kill my body, but would have no power at g all to hurt my soul, which is under the protection of One who is greater than any king or queen upon earth." "You are right my child, to fear God ,and to have no other fear." said her thther. "It is He who hath, perhaps, put it into your heart to plead with the Queen for my life; which, if it be his pleasure to grant, I shall feel it indeed a happiness thr my child to be made the instrument of my deliverand from Iht► perils of death, which now encompass me; but if it should be otherwise, his will be done. He bath promised to be a father to the fatherless, and he will not forsake my good and dutiful child when I um low in the dust." But how will Lady Lucy gain admittance to the Queen's inesence,my lord," asked old Amy, who had been a weeping speCtuttir of the scene between the father an child. "I will write a letter to -her godmother, the Lady Clarendon, requesting her to ac complish the matter." He then wrote a f'w 11:1 , 1v hive; to that lady, which he gave to his datiehter, telling her she was to go the next day to Hampton Court, properly attended, and to obtain n sight of Lady Clarendon, who was there in waiting upon the Queen, and deliver that let ter to her with her own hand. He then kissed his child tenderly, and bade her fare well Thou 2 ll the little child wept at parting with her father, yet she left the tower with a r more coinposed mind than she entered it, for she had !brined her resolution, mid her young heart was bill of hope. She had silently committed her cause to God,and she tin-ted that Ile would disposo the event pros porously frr her. The next morning,livf ire the lark had sun. her matte- , , Lary Lucy was up and dressed in a stilt of deep mourning, which Amy had provided as the most suitable garb fbr a dmorliter whose only surviving parent was under sentence of death. The servants,who had been informed of their young Indy's iii tent ion to so;irto the Queen for her father's freedom,were assembled in (he mitt mice hall to see her depat i; and as she passed through them, leaning on her nurse's arm, and at tended by her father's confidential secretary and the old butler, they shed tears and bade God bless her,nnd prosper her in tier design. Lid) Lucy. art ived at Hampton Court, was introduced into the Countess of Claren don's aparta.ents before her ladyship was out of bed, and having told her artless tale with great earnestness, delivered her father's let • ter. Lady Clarendon, who was wife to the Queen's uncle, was very kind to her young eilddautrlner, but plainly told her she must not reckon on her influence with the Queen, because the Earl of Clarendon was in dis grace on account of being suspected of car rying on a correspondence with Ring James, his brother•in-liiii; therefore she dared not solicit the queen on behalf of her friend, Lord P reston, against whom her majesty was so deeply exasperated that she had de clared she would not show him any mercy. "Old" said the little girl, "if I could only see the Queen myself, I would not wish any one to speak for me, for I should plead so earnestly to her for my dear papa's life that she could not rel Use me, I'm sure." "Poor child, what would you say to the Queen?" asked the Countess, compassion. Wok'. "Only let me see her and you shall hear," rejoined Lady Lucy. "Well, my love, it were a pity hut what you then should have an opportunity," said Lady Clarenden; "hut much I fear your lit tle heart will flit! thee, and when thou seest (he Queen face to face,thuu wilt nut be able to utter a syllable." 'God will direct the . .words of my lip," Na,d tk-avlit. 5101, tcome ;In, tsar or:m. 111 e Countess was impressed with the piety and filial tenderness of her little god daughter; and she hastened to rise and di ess, that she might conduct the child into the palace gallery, where the Queen usually passed an hour in walking after her reture front chapel which she attended every mor ring. tier majesty had not tell the chapel when Lady Clurendou and Lady Lucy en tered the gallery, and her ladyship endeav• °led to divert the anxious impatience of her little friend, by pointing taut to her the por traits with which it was adorned. "I know that gentleman well," said the r bald, pointing, to a noble whole-length por trait of 111111.3 the Second. "That is the portrait of the deposed King James, Queen Mary's father, observed the Countess, sigh ing: "and a very striking likeness it is of that unfortunate monarch--but hark! here collies the Queenovith her chamberlain and ladies,from chapel: now, Lucy, is the time. I will step into the recess yonder, but you must remain alone,standing where you are, and when her majesty approaches near e nough, kneel down on one knee before her, and present your father's petition. She who walks a little in advance of the other ladies is the Queen. Be of good courage, and address yourself to her." Lady Clarendue then made a hasty re• treat. Lucy!s heart fluttered violently when she found herself alone, but her resolution did not fail her; and while her lips moved violewly in fervent prayer to the Almighty for his assistance in this try ing moment,she stood with folded hands, pale, composed,and motionless as a statue, awaiting the Queen's approach; and when her majesty drew near the spot, she advanced a step forward, knelt and presented the petition. The extreme beauty of the child, her deep mourning, the touching sadness of her look and manner : and above all, the stream ing tears which bedewed her face, excited the gieen'sattention and interest; she paus ed, spoke kindly to her,and took the offered paper; but when she saw the name of Lord Preston, her color rose, she frowned, cast the petition from her, and would have pass. ed on, but Lucy, who had watched her countenance with a degree of anxious inte rest that amounted to agony, losing all awe of royalty in her fears for her father, put forth her hand, and grasping the Queen's robe, cried in an imploring tone, "Spare my father—my dear, dear father, royal lady!" Lucy bud meant to say many persuasive things, but (*ergot them all in her sore dis tress,and coultionly repeat the words "Mere cy, mercy, for my flatter, gracious Queen!" until her vehement emotion choked her voice and throwing her arms around the Queen's neck, she leaned her head against her ma *asty's person for support,and sobbed aloud The .intense sorrow of a child is always peculiarly tuntivng; but the circumstances under which LUpy appeared, were more than commonly affecting. It was a daugh ter, not beyond the season of infancy, over mastering the timidity of that tender age,to become the suppliant to an offended sove reign tbr the life °fa faller. Queen Mary pitied the distress of her young petitioner, h i ll co:o:iitereil the cleat!: 4 , r Lord P•es [VOL, S--NO. 36. ton as a mutter of politiaal necessity ; she therefore told Lucy mildly, but firmly, that he could not grant her request. "But he is good end kind to mien/ one," said Lucy,raising her blue 'the were swimming with tears, to the face of the Queen. “He may be so to you, child,” returned her majostv, "hut he has brokt. , n the law of his country, and must thereforct.die." " But you can pardon him tryou choose to do to, Ma ch in," replied Lofy; "and I have read that God is well pleased with those who forgive; for lie has said. 'Blessed are the merciful, for they Thal) obtain m‘rev.'" "It clops not become a little old lirt you to attempt to instruct me," repliel, the Queen,gravety; "1 am acquainted with my dut ; and as it is my place to administer justice impartially, it is not possible far IblY to pardon your father, however painful it may be for me to deny the request of so du tiful a child." Lucy did not repl; she only raised her eves with an appealing look to the Queen, and then turned them expressively on the portrait of King James, opposite to which her majesty was then standina. There was something in that look that bore no common meaning, and the Queen, whose curiosity was excited by the peculiarly emphatic man ner of the child, could nit refrain from log wherefore she gazed so earnestly upon that picture. T was thinking," replied Lady Lucy, "how strange it was that you should wish to kill my father, only because he loved yours so Caithfully!" This wise but artless reproof from the lips of infant innoeence,went to the heart of the Queen; she raised her eyes to the once dear andlionored countenance of a parent who, whatever were his political errors as a king,or his offences against others,had ever been the tenderest of parents to her; and the remembrance that he was an exile in a foreign land, relying on the bounty of stran gers for his daily bread, while she and her husband were invested- with the _regal in heritance of which he Zid been deprived, pressed upon her the ticiluglit ()fate contrast of her conduct as a daughier,when compar ed with the filial piety of the child before her, whom a sentence of hers was about to render an orphan. " Rise, dear child," she said: ''thou halt prevailed:—thy father shall not die! I grant his pardon at thy entrlAy—thy filial loved has sa v.eitL.6t !" =pi ANECDOTE OF GEN. WASHINGTON. The halo thrown over the name of our illustri. flue cilia comes ell..that relates to him to be read with eagerness and delight. We have mer-accr•,s dentally with an anol•dote of him that exhibits ono of his noblest qualities, and ono , which strongly marked his general character. One Reuben Ron zy,of Virginia,owed the General, about one thous-, and pounds. While President of the li. States, one ()lids agents Li ought an action for the money, judgment was obtained,nnd an execution issued a- • gaingt the body of the defendant, who was taken to. jail. He had considerable landed estate, but this kind of property cannot be sold in Virginia unless with the discretion of the person. He had a large • family, and, for the sake of his children, preferred lying in jail to selling his land. A friend hinted to bun that probably Gen. Washington did not know any thing of the proceeding, and that it might be well to send him a petition, with a state ment of the circumstances. He did so—and the very next post from Philadelphia, after the arrival of his petition in that city, brought him an order for his immediate release, together with a full dis charge, and a severe reprimand to the agent for having acted in such a manner. Poor Rouzy was consequently restored to his family, who never laid down their heads at night, without first presenting prayers to Heaven for their 'beloved Washington.' Providence smiled upon the labours of the grateful family, and in a few years he enjoyed the exquisite pleasure of being able to lay the money, with ttte,,. interest at the feet of this truly great man. WaSh-'• ington reminded him that the debt was discharged. Rouzy replied that the debt of his family to the • father of his country, and the preserver of their pa rent, could never be discharged; and "the genenil, to avoid the pleasing importunity of the grateful Virginian, who would not be denied, accepted the money, only to divide it among Rouzy's children, which he immediately did. Have If come to this! How painful must be the riAl 'cum of a young man, who has enjoyed the privticim of society, moral instruction, and filthful ad inonition. , to find hiniself suddenly arrested in his wicked cniecr by the arm of justice, and about to receive the penalty of the law fur crimes, while comparing his past advan tages with the present circumstances. In deed lie may well say "have I come to this?" This is not altogether an itnaginary case. t so happened that the writer of this wag present when several convicts arrived at one of our State Penitentiaries. Among the number wus a young man of about the age 01 twenty • fon r yea s,of good appearance and, well dressed.
