QUEEN MARY'S CROSS.
Historians allow such latitude to
their imaginations, that we are not
more certain of truth from those of
ancient date than from the modern
wiiter who selects his materials, as
Vultaire merrily said to Diderot, to
suit his system. Uiit in speaking of
Queen Mary, we find the most can
did simplicity shewn by Hollinahed.
'• For,” says lie, “ when leaving her
own country, she was nourished as a
banished person; and alter fortune
began to flaltsr her in that she was
honorod with a worthy marriage, it
was in *ruth rather a shadow of joy
to this queen chan any comfort at
all Rut beneficial nature had en
dued her with a beautiful face, aw ell
composed body, an excellent wit, a
mild nature, and a good behaviour,
which she had artificially furthered
by courtly education and affable de
meanour. Whereby at first sight she
won unto he. the hearts of most, and,
confirmed the love of her faithful sub'
jects ” J
Henry Stgwarjt, Use cousin aud.
husband of Queen Mary, has left, in
bis own example, a lesson worth the
study of tutor princes. Per with an
admirable person, an excellen-t grace
in all courtly exercises, and a rare
{lortion of theage's bust learning, his i
aiiure in those moral duties' Which’
men have agreed to call trivial in
ihemse.ves, was the blight and wreck
of his prosperity.' Rut his greatest
crime was that he lived iu times when
'■ very nice offence bore its -comment
; among three parties, each mortally
adverse to (he other, but equally ca
tjer to debase the Stewart family,;—
lie was the blossom of a decaying
tree, and perished not so much by
his own canker as because the stem
he grow on gave him no support—
Whether (its jealousy of an Italian'
menial was natural, or excited -by
one of those treacherous parties, i*
under the veil of time long past; but
his tiagical end was of more benefit
to the friends of Mary, thau to her
| enemies. The charge of murdering
| her husband appeared no atrocious
and improbable, that more credinlc
ones were passed over ami forgotten.
| Henry Stewart is said to have been
strangled with a napkin after linger*,
i jug in a long illness; and his body
i was found at some distance from the
house he had inhabited after it had
been blown up. In this transaction
there was auch needless and outra
geous exposure of guilt, that Mary’s
advocates were very well able to rest
their defence uot so much on the
, improbability of her connivance at
. her husband’s death as on the wanton
i absurdity of the deed itself. They
I alleged the craft and ambition of her
j. illegitimate brother, the furious and
r busy teal of the new party iu the
church, and the gracious heedless-i
nesft or a generous woman, educated
iu an easy court, as the true causes
of the libels stirred up against her...,
It was too easy to find evil motives
for those who misjudged her conduct,
and they wisely left the conduct it's
■ seif undented Rut th« talents a*id
the graces of Maty .were not enough
to spice tior through the labyrinth of ,
1 suck entangled politics. She threw
herself into the haiida of the Lord ]
: Rothwell, a nobleman whose eharac
-1 * cr . s . ec,nß have combined all. the ,
levjties of her first husband with the •
, fierceness and fraud if her reputed’ ,
I brotlier. Her most parti-tl historian i
tells us of the festivities and ptock
homage with which this politician
contrived to feed her fancy and.her ‘
vanity while he held her in his foils. |
Proud, open, andgenerous by nature, !
•lary would have been able torebist! ,
'hreuts and bribes from the party cat
led her enemies, but she was out on ,
her guard against the flatteries of
pretended friends. During her resl-
at the Lord Rothweil’s castle, ,
, her ears were incessantly., beguiled t
by solacing • declarations of gttacbh {
u ... ,
mcDt to hercausc ami person ; aud
her eyes by -the pageant spectacles
arranged to wasjc her time and de
gride her character. She did not
see her shackles till they- were ri.
vetted, and Both well insisted on a
recompense tor hi 4 zeal not less than
the authority of a husband. Mary
fouhd herself compelled to yield it,
and to make thia desperate man,
from whom she had gained nothing
but a short period of false comfort,,
the muter of herself and her desti
ny. This was the triumph of the
fiction who had employed him; and
thus by decoying her into a shameful
alliance with one of her husband’s
suspected murderers, they at once
prcpa r cd and justified 5 her' total ruin.
Wi en Mary had degraded herself
by this alliance, the nobility openly
cast off their allegiance. Rut to pro
cure from tier the surrender of her
crown, which was their secret aim,
it was needful to divide ber from
Bothwcll, who woßld not liave par
ted willingly with the prize he hop
ed to share. Therefore one of their
number was deputed to make over
tures of submission, provided she re
nounced her second husband ; and
dary, rendered timid and feeble by
error, fell into this third snare, and
committed herself on their own terms
into the hands of the confederate no
bles. Edinburgh had declared for
them ; and thither, with a semblance
of respect and gratitude, they con
ducted a princess who had *yeen in
less than two years twice a wife, if
Both well could be called her husband
after lawlessly divorcing the mother
of his only son.
The Queen’s procession through
Edinburgh to Holy rood was thronged
as usual with gazers ami followers;
nor was the strong influence of her
enemies sufficient to suppress or con
trol the acclamations she always ex
cited. On this occasion she rude on
one of her favorite palfreys decked
richly with silver fringe, and her veil
of embroidered gauze hung over her
face enough to tantalize without dis
appointing curiosity. A woman of
ordinary talents would have attempt
ed to interest the populace by retire
ment, mourning weeds, .and a f ice
full of sadness ; but this princess,
acting on principles of shrewder po
licy, took care to present herself a
nioug her enemies with an aspect e
yen gayer and mere alluring Ilian
usual. Sho had in tier train the best
•accoutred, nobles of her court, and
her tire-woman had 'neglected noth
ing to adorn hcV person. Crouds of
men, women and children, poured
from every wynd in the city, $ hung
in clusters on the housetops, to see
what resembled more, the pageant of
a triumphant sovereign than a sus
pe -ted and degraded widow's. The
affability and the confiding cueless
ness of her demeanor, if it did not
convince her enemies of her inno
cence, had at least, the charm of an
implied reliance on their mercy, A
few of Knox’s more austere adherents
slunk away from the croud, and those
who condemned tlie parade remained
to wonder at it, till they were forced
to join.the clamour of applause. She
rested on her way at, the Karl of Mor
ton’s house in Edinburgh; and while
leaned from his balcony to throw
largess among her subjects, a troop
of women came to kiss die hem of
her mantle as it hung over, and to
lay petition* at hor feet; The Lord
Athol, or as others say Kirk tidy of
Grange, took up one, offered by the
meanest of the groups; and when
the noise of the rebecks ceased, the.
queen- bade him continue tint music
bf ltbr people by reading their addre -s
--es to her. He obeyed, and opening
the first he had taken ups found it in
die form of this letter.
“ Payer good <] ieen->,

“ Ann Botuwell ”
. Kirkaldy of Grange, to do him
I justice, was Confounded and amazed
r at the unexpec.ed contents of this
| letter. He cast an indirect glance
i at the Earl of Morton, who stood, fa
, vored by his low stature, unobserved
• behind the queen. His sinester eye
. gleamed at once, with his natural de
light iu sarcasm, and with the hope
, of building his own triumph as a li
' berfincon the queen’s abasement -
I But Mary read the eyes «f both her
. courtiers; and taking her sou James,
then little more than a year old, into
i her arms, she beckoned th<- bringer
I of this bold letter towards the balcu
. ny. Instead of skulking among the
~ crowd, the pers ;ii who had delivered
, it stood still firmly in her place, with
. her garments muffled round her., but
i her head uncovered, except byawi
-1 dow'seurch. Mary fixed her large
I blue eyes on the stranger; and put
. ting a cross of jewels into her infant’s
liand, said, with that sweet smile
p which painters and historians slave
loved to imagine; Petitioner, the
queen has nothing left to give, but
|
her son promises by thrs cross to a
( mend all things.” The unknown wo
, man looked op, and at the same in
stant the little prince dropped the
. cross from his hands into her bosom;
, on which she bowed her head lowly,
t and answered, “ My bcnlsun on ye!
| The cross ib a comforter, and the red
rose and thistle may knit together
f round it ”
| Mary was no stranger to carl Both
r well’s divorce from die Lady Ann,
I tor whom the legendary ballad*
f which bears her name has excited
. mere interest than -even the
. cal facts relating to her. She look
. e l earnestly at this s trange and m-an
t ly dressed woman ; and was surpri
. sed to see beauty not inferior to her
, own. The gloomy Earl of Morten
k smiled at the blush of shame and re
j morse which reddened Mary’s brow,
» and withdrew her from the gaze of
1 the crowd ; the last ljl.it ever beheld
( her in Edinburgh as their Queen.
• Something more than twenty years
. passe 1 between this peiiod and the
. time of Mary’s fatal trial. Her long
, absence and imprisonment had mn-ili
• tied her common eiieinie.s; the regent
f Earl of Mort»n bad perished by assas
, sinatum; Buchanan was no more,
| and the Hume excited by their zeal
f against her was sinking under the u>
» sual influence of time and changing
i interests. But of all the partisans
•, that maintained her innocence, none
; were more strenuous than the uncle
, and brother of Lady Ann Bothwell

\ expatr.ated Earl Os their sister’s
fate they chose to know nothing; it
was believed that she had withdrawn
. into one of the few convents stii
left in existence, and iuM infant sou
had been heard of no more. Forsa
ken and disinherited, this unhappy
boy would liave had few cnances of
natice from the family of his proscri
bed father, and hi«> moth r seized the
opportunity afforded by her divorce,
to usurp the lands which should have
been his birthright. His mother gave
him the Queen’s cross, and advised
him to assume a name less hated.
Near one of those ruined convents,
