He again pressed her to his heart, and wept

i upon her neck. In a few moments the jailor en
tered, and (hey were lorn from the arms of each
j other. %
dii the evening of die second day after the in-
J lerview, we have mentioned, a wayfaring man i
crossed the drawbridge at Berwick, from the 1
north, and proceeded down Mary gale, sal down to
rest upon a bench by the door of an hostelry on
die south side ot the street, nearly fronting where
what was called the ‘Main-guard* then stood.
He did not enter the inn ; for it was above his
apparent condition, being that which Oliver
Cromwell had made;his head quarters a few years
before, and where at some earlier period, James
the tSixth had taken up his residence wlien on his
way to enter on the sovereignty of England.
The traveller wore u course jerkin, fastened
round his body by a leathern girdle, and over
u small cloak, composed of equally plain materi
als. He was evidently a young man, but his
beaver was drawn down, so as almost to conceal
bis features, fn the one hand he carried a small
bundle, ami in the other a pilgrim's slut!*. Ha- j
ving called lor a glass of wine, he took a crust of
bread from his bundle, and after resting for a few
minutes rose to depart. The shades of night
were settling in, and it threatened to he a nigh! of
storms. Tin* heavens were gathering black, the
clouds rushing from the sea. sudden gusts of |
wind were moaning along the trees, accompanied i
by heavy drops of rain, and the face of the Tweed |
was troubled.
‘Heaven help thee, if thou intendcst to travel I
far in such a night as this ?* said the sentinel at |
the English gale, as the traveller passed him and 1
proceeded to cross the bridge.
In a few minutes he was upon the borders of ;
the wild, desolate, and dreary moor of Tweed- |
mouth, which for miles, presented a desert of j
whins, fern, und stunted heath, with here and ■
there a dingle covered with thick brushwood. He
slowly toiled over the deep hill, braving the storm
raged in its wildest fury. The rain fell
in torrents, and the wind howled as a legion of
famished wolves, hurling its doleful and angry
echoes over the heath. Still the stranger pushed
onward, until he proceeded two or three miles
from Berwick, when, as if unable longer to brave
the storm, he sought shelter amidst crab and
bramble bushes by the wayside. Nearly an hour
had passed since ho sought this imperfec t refuge,
and the darkness of the night and the storm had
increased together, when the sound of horse’s (
ice; was heard hurriedly splashing along the road.
The rider bent his head to the blast. Suddenly
his horse was grasped by the bridle, the rider rais
ed his head, and the traveller stood before him,
holding a pistol to his breast.
•Dismount !* cried the stranger sternly.
The horseman benumbed and stricken with
fear, made an effort to reach his arms; but in a
moment the hand of the robber quitting the bridle, i
grasped the breast of the rider, and dragged him j
to the ground. He fell heavily on his face, and
for several minutes remained senseless. The
stranger seized the leathern bag which contained
the mail for the north, and flinging it on h s •
shoulder, rushed across the heath.
Early on the following morning the inhabitants
ot Berwick, were seen hurrying in groups to the
spot where die robbery had been committed, and
the contents of the were scattered in every direc
tion around the moor, but no trace of the robbery
could be obtained.
Three days had passed, and f>ir John Coch
rane yet lived. The mail which contained his i
death-warrant had been rohlnnl, and before another
order for his execution could be given, the inter
cession of his father, the Earl of Dundouald,
with the king's confessor might bo successful.—
Grizel now became almost his constant com
panion in his prison, and spoke to him words of
comfort. Nearly fourteen days had passed since
the protracted hope in the bosom of the prisoner
became more hitter than his first despair. But
even that hope, bitter as it was, perished. Tire i
intercession of his father had been unsuccessful,
and a second time the bigoted, ami would-be des
potic monarch, signed the warrant for his death. ]
and within a little more another day that warrant .
would reach his prison.
*The will ot heaven be done,’ groaned the !
captive. ■ -
•Amen !' returned Grizel, with wild vehemenre, |
‘but mv falht r shall not die.’
Again the rider with the mail had reached the j
moor of Tweed mouth, and a second time he bore <
with him the doom of Cochrane. He spurred ■
his horse to his utmost speed, he looked cautious- i
ly before, behind and around him. and in his
right hand he carried a pistol ready to defend
h:msclf. The moon shed a ghastly light across
the heath, rendering the desolation visible, and
giving a spiritual embodiment to every shrub.—
He was turning the angle of a straggling copse,
when his horse reared at the report of a pistol, j
the fire of w hich seemed to dash into its very
eyes. At the same moment his own pistol flash
ed, and the horse reared more violently, and he 1
was driven from the saddle. In a moment, the
foot of the robber was upon his breast, who bend
ing over him. and brandishing a short dagger in
his hand, said *(«ivp me thine arms or die !'
The heart of the king's servant failed within I
. him. and without venturing to reply, he did as he \
; was commanded.
•Now, go thy way/ cried the robber sternly, ,
i *but leave with me thy horse, and leave with me !
the mail—lest a worse thing come upon thee.”
Tin* man therefore arose and proceeded towards j
| Berwick, trembling ; and the rubber mounted the j
; h »rsc which he had left, rode rapidly across the |
| heath.
Preparations were making for the execution of ;
! Sir John Cochrane, the otliccrs of the law waited
' only for the arrival *»t the mail with his second I
• death warrant, to lead him forth to the scaffold. ;
and the tidings arrived that the mail had again !
been nibbed. For yet fourteen days and the life
lot tin* prisoner would be again prolonged. He 1
! again fell on the neck of his daughter, and wept,
i and said—it is good—the hand of heaven is in ,
I this!”
I ‘Said I not,* replied the maiden, and for the ;
first time she wept aloud—that my father should •
not die.*
The fourteen days were not yet past, when
the prison door flow open, and the old Earl of
Dund.niald rushed To the arms of his son. His
! in’ereession with the confessor had at lenirlh
1 I cen successful; and. after twice signing the war- j
j rant for the execution of Sir John, which had as j
I often filled of reaching its destination, the king ■
had sealed He had hurried with his ‘
father from the prison to his own house—his .
family were clinging around him, shedding tear-* ;
of joy—an I they were marvelling with gratitude i
at the mysterious Providence that had twice in- ;
terccpted the mail and saved his life, when a .
stranger craved an audience. J'rir John desired j
him l.» be admitted—and the rubber entered. Ho j
was banned, as we have before described, with j
the coarse jerkin ; but his hearing was above his |
condition. On entering, he slightly touened I.is |
haaver hut remained covered.
‘W hen yon have p* rnse I these,* said ho, tak- i
j mg two papers from his ho-oni, ‘cast them into
. the fire V
Sir John pi til e lon them, started and became
pale—they wa in his death warrants.
*My deliverer.* exclaimed he. -how* shall I
think the«—how repay the .-avioiir of mv life !
My father; my children—thank him for me ?* *
The old enl grasped the hand «*f the stranger;
the children embraced his knees; and he hurst
into tears.
‘By what name,’ eagerly inquired Sir John,
‘ hall I thank my deliverer?*
The stranger wept aloud; and raising his hea
ver. the raven tresses of Grizel Cochrane fed up
on the coarse cloak.
•Gracious heaven!* exclaimed the astonished
•nd enraptured father— ■•my own child—mv sav
iour—mv own Gr'r/el!’
The Hollanders make butter which may he
preserved as long a* their gin. They use no salt,
hut hy careful working and heavy pressure, ab
stract every particle of the buttermilk, which is
the great cause of rancidity ; and then by putting
the pure oleaginous matter hermetically scaled
they secure it against change for g |<mg period «:
time, in any climate. Butter purged of moisture
• ither from the milk or dissolved salt, will keep
for years, if excluded from the air; and it is
harm ful that V) mij« h had butter should ho unit

All “Affair” between n \\ haling Captain
ami a Military Officer.
Perhaps some of my readers may have IkiiJ
of the story of the duel between o'd f’ap'ain
Lovett, of .New Bedford, and the Lngh-Ii officer
in Hemarara. If has been variously related—but
the only true version is as follows ;
Captain Zachariah Lovetl, alter having |»er
forim d several whaling voyages to the Baeilic,
found himself in command of a small brig be
longing to Xi vv \ ork on a voyage to Hemarara,
! He was a worthy man—and a good speeimen of
j a Yankee sailor—his heail was full of the milk
: of human kindness, but lie a noble sptr
| it—and would neither give nor take an insult.
While bis little blit; Cinderella lay at anchor
in Hemarara river, ('apt Lovett one afternoon
entered a (’olfi e Mouse where he met with a
j friend—and they amused then selves will* knoek
ing the halls about in a billiard room. Noon al
ter, and In-tore the game wa* l.alf finished, some
English military officers entered, one of whom,
Capt Bigbee. stepped up lo (’apt. Lovett, who
was arrayed in a verv pi dn, not lo say ordinary
j costume, and with a bullying air demanded the
j table, as himself and brother officer w i-hcd to
play a match.
(’apt, Lovett gave the red < ■ alcd gentleman a
j stern look, but replied with coi itesy. lliat he and
! his friend had engaged the table, and would play
out their game, after which, if the gentlemen
wished to play, it was at their service.
‘But wccan’t wait/ said ('apt. B. Lee, in an
insolent tone.
‘You must wait/ cooly replied Capt. Lovett.
‘But wc shall do no such thing/ exclaimed the
surly Briton—*we came here to play billiards—
and have no idea of being disappointed |.y a
couple of fellows who hardly know a mace from
a cue, or a hull from a pocket. It will take you
all the afternoon to finish the game —so clear
out!’
Capt. Lovell and his friend played on.
‘Come/ continued the offi» er. ‘enough of this—
marker place the halls/ Saying which, with a
most impudent air. he seized one of the bulls
which Capt. Lovett’s opponent had just driven
into the pocket, and caught another one which
was near him.
The matter was growing serious. Capt. Lo
vett’s eye flashed fire—for although Lc hud
mingled a good deal among quakers, and respect
ed lliat moral sect for their humility and quiet
demeanor, he was no non resistant man him.-elf.
He dropped his t oe. and doubled up a fi.-t «•! por
tentous size. “But those halls uopn the table,
you scoundrel,” exclaimed he, imperatively,
“and leave the room.”
‘Who do you call scoundrel, you \ anker*
blackguard? Ho you know you are talking U*
one of his majesty’s officer’s } l ake that fur
your im|»erlinen-».’ at the same lime suiting the
action to the word, and giving Capt. Lovitt n
smart rap across the shoulder with his cue. But
in an instant he received a hU vv on his forehead.
J exactly where Phrcnolgists locate the organ ot
Eventuality—which would have felled an ox.
and submissively acknowledged the favor, by
measuring Ids length upon the floor!
His broth* r officers, who were with him, had
the good sense to see that Bigbee was t-» blame—
| and although they looked rather black at the \ an
[ ke«*s t!i< v wisely forbore to molest them further—
j but assi-ted the stunned bully to another room,
j where, by the help of some restoiativa s. be soon
‘ recovered hi* senses. His rage and mortification
it the result of the rencoi le, knew n>» . bounds,
and w;ih many a bitter oath he declared he would
have satisfaction.
Before Capt. Lovett left the roflee bouse, a
bills’ll was handed him by Lieutenant James,
which proved to be a challenge—a peremptory
challenge from (/apt. Bigbee. in which i r was in
sisted that arrangements should Im* made f.»r an
earlv meeting, that he might have an opportuni
ty I » wash oil* the aflfronl he had received in
i (.’apt. L ivett’s heart’s blood.
Captain Lovell smiled when he «a\v such man
ifestations of Christian spirit. ‘Tell (’apt. Big
; bee/ said lie, -I will n»*l baulk him. He shall
! have the opportunity he so earnestly seeks. Al
; though not a fighting man. 1 am familiar with the
! duel laws, and if he will !*e to-morrow morning
i on the banks of the green canal, near the South
Quay, rather a secluded spot, he -hull have satis
i faction to !»i* heart’s content/
L’uutenant James bowed politely and with
drew. Capt. Lovett went on board the (’inderel
l i so»>n alter, and orderei! hi* mate. Mr. Star
buck. aUo a veteran whale hunter, to select the
two K >t barpo«ms. have them nicely ground and
fitted, a* an opportunity might ofl’er on the mor
row of striking apo poise. Mr. >i-»rbu; k ob» v
ed his superior o.Ticer wil l alacrity, although he
1 wondered n*t a I.tile why C’apl. Lovett expecte.l
lo find porpoises in Hemarara.
The next in urning as soon :t* n l hands were
called. (’apt. L well ordered the boat to he man
ned, and requested Mr. Starhuck lo lake the two
; harpoons, lo each of which some cigh «*r ten ta
! thorns of rattling stuff was attached, and accom
pany him on shore. In a lew moments the boat
reached the Sooth where (’apt. L« vet! was
met by se era! ol his countrymen, who had l*cen
attracted to the sp -l by the rumor of the dud. as
well a* several merchant* ami inhabitants ot the
place. Tiny one and nil rcmciislrated with
( apt. Lovell for his folly in consenting to tight

1 as a pra -tised duellist, an expert «vv > ds .an. and
an uiftivallcd marksman with a pisl-d, li ing sure
