" - - - voice of their leader, commanded the sleep-; 0 f his compassion ; that her doom was iire
merrily at the prospect of the pleasure in store
for them. The Yankee girls, though not re
markably disposed to smile on a British uni
form, were nevertheless not averse to indulg
ing in a little flirtation with those who wore
red coats. Ladies wear the bump of flirtation
on their heads all the world over, and it is
therefore not to be wondered at that the girls
in tlie neighborhood of Holmes’ Hole were
willing to have a few hours gratification at the
expense of their country. To bring tlie lion
hearts of these officers to terms of capitula
tion, was an object not to be resisted ; and ac
cordingly these damsels arrayed themselves in
their brightest smiles, aud repaired to the fes
tive hall at the time appointed.
Brilliantly shone every thing on that eve
ning. The officers were there, forgetful of
the errand of butchery on which they came
to the country, and intent only on winning
honeyed looks and love sick smiles from the
breathing forms around them. The dance
went on, and as fair ;nl sylpli-like forms,
wreathed gaily through its maizes, the proud
Britons forgot their sweethearts at home, and
yielded up their devotion to the fair strangers
before them. Swiftly flew the winged hours
away, and the solemn chime of midnight swell
ed on the air before the sounds of music ceas
ed, and the parties separated with promises of

10 i It was too late to return to the ships that
night, and the gallant officers after discoursing
on the comparative merits of the beauties by
whom they had been entranced, drank a toast
to woman’s smile, and prepared to retire for
the night. Pleasant dreams cheered their pil
lows—away their spirits bounded over the
wide expanse of waters between them and
tlieir distant homes, and there revelled in
half-awakened scenes of former bliss, and sleep
was to them a repose and a blessing. No
thought, no suspicion, had they of coming evil;
but, busy with the past, all forgetful were they
of the power of the future to bring a sadden
ing change overtlieirhearts, and they slept away
with the smileof tranquillity playing upon their
sealed features.
But all were not asleep that night. There
were others counting on future gains and glo
ries, whose wakeful enterprise banished slum
ber from their eyelids, and filled their hearts
with those high sensations which deeds of
chivalrous daring always foster. To these it
is now our duty to turn.
The Vineyard sound is about five miles
over. While the dance was in progress on
the one shore, preparations of another kind
were in progress on the opposite one. The
ers to surrender. The room was soon a scene
of confusion. The Britons were at first dis
posed to make resistance, but seeing no way
to escape, and knowing- thai their good treat-
vocable, and that unless he chose to partici
pate in a similar fate, he must submit to exe
cute the office imposed on him. Thus situat
ed, and finding all entreaty and remonstrance
ment depended upon submissiveness, they sur- j j n va in, he entered the room, where be found a
rendered with as much grace -as was desirable.
Out of their beds they were forced, ten as
sleepy looking fellows as one would wish to
see. One of them corpulent, red faced, and
larger than his companions, grumbled as be
rose, but a hand was placed on his shoulder
with an order to be as still and as brisk as
possible, and he submitted. “ I’ve got him,
Joe,” said our lover, Sam, to his frend, who
was assisting a reluctant leg on the other side
of the room, to force itself through a pair of
super inexpressibles.
“ Well, hang on to him.”
“ Aye, that I will like death to a grim beg
gar.” Then turning to his prisoner he added
—“ come, my dear sir, I don’t wish to be of
ficious, but let me assist you in adjusting your
ward-robe. While you are gartering that
stocking, I’ll just garter your neck with this
cravat.”
“ Take that, you, for your impudence,”
said tlie officer, at the same time levelling a
blow with his clenched list, which Sam par
ried.
“ Tenderly, tenderly, my dear fellow,” said
Sam, “ but if you want the use of your peepers
by the time daylight comes, y r ou will be spar
ing of your fists.
“ Who and what are you,” asked the officer,
looking grumly up in Sam’s lace.
“ My name is Sam Dareall at your service,
which being interpreted, means Sam Dare
devil ; and I’ll promise you a touch ot my
nature and my friendship too before we se
parate.”
“ \Vell, you are a devilish obliging fellow.”
“ Thank you, si. : it runs in the Dareall fa
mily to be obliging. Can I be of any service
to you in putting on your coat—for 1 shall be
under the disagreeable necessity of marching
you off right away. What is this silly thing
good for V’ said Sam, at the same time pull
ing the epaulet from the officer’s shoulder; “ it
is mly fit for a child’s play thing!” and he
put his foot on the toy.
The Briton’s face grew very red, but he
had to keep quiet, as Sam assured him he
was going a long journey, it would only be
an encumbrance to his shoulder, and lie had
done what he had from the kindest motives.
To the door Sam led his prisoner, and
meeting his friend Joe at it, desired him to
say if he had not captured the biggest game.

tidings of tlio ball were spread throughout i *^ oe deliberately cast his eye about the of-
the vicinity, and eighteen brave fellows a- j fif ' er ’ s stunl >' dimensions, and replied affirm-
greed to make that night replete with gloomy e ty'
as well as brilliant recollections to tlie British
officers.
The moon was in her last quarter, and as
she sunk below the horizon, and her girdling
light vanished from the heavens, a company
of resolute fellows descended the bank and
made to the water’s edge. A couple of boats
were soon unmoored and launched on the un
steady element, filled with as gallant crews
as ever started on an eventful enterprise.—
Every spirit swelled high as they cleared the
foam of the breakers, and the crafts beneath
them rode gracefully over the gentle billows.
“ Now, my hearties,” said j, voice from the
bow of the larger boat, “ the thing I have to ask
of you is that you obey orders.
“ Aye, aye, captain,” responded the others.
“ Then boys, draw your pistols and prepare
for a shot.”
Every fellow who owned a pistol—that is,
a canteen or flask—drew it forth and uncork
ed it.
“All hands ready! Then, my hearties, twig
this toast: Success to the Vineyarders and a
bad night’s rest to the red coats.”
The toast was duly honored, and every fel
low took down his canteen and replaced it in
his pocket.
“ Now, this is my first order : no word is
to be spoken louder than a whisper, between
this and the other shore. The success you
have just drank to, depends on silence.”
“ Aye, aye,” muttered all hands.
The oars were muffled.to prevent a splash
in the waters, and onward the boats went silent
ly. Their heads were pointed directly towards
the tavern where the ball had been, and each
fellow mused on the scenes which would trans
pire on their arrival.
“ 1 11 be shot if I can keep still, Joe,” said
a youth by the name of Sam Dareall to his
next neighbor, in a whisper, T can’t help think
ing that chiefest of witches, Sally Renham is
at that party.”
“ Well,, what, harm if she is 1”
“ None that I know of,” returned Sam, “on
ly I dou’t like the thought of her fair hand
being touched by an arm that wears a red
coat.”
“ The girl, Sam, is a fair one, and she is as
true as she’s fair. Her heart never harbored
love for a tory. You see it runs in all female
flesh to like to win a heart, if it be but to see
with what kind of grace the owner will yield
it up.”
“ Truer words were never spoken, Joe;—
but why the deuce a girl when she’s got one
heart safe, can’t be satisfied with it, is something
I can’t understand, Joe.”
“ I guess there is more than that in female na
ture that you don’t understand, Sam. Woman
has a great many ways that are. perfect mys
teries t6 me. But as to being uneasy abou
boy to head a forlorn hope in storming a for
tress—a great mistake. But worst of all, he -
made Mrs. Fitzgig of Miss Seraphiua Serina-
Pump, taking her for a feminine woman, wb 3ir
the “ lurking devil in her eye” might have told
him that shewasa masculine woman,the great
est mistake .of the whole troop of blunders.
As to tlie last, however, Fitzgig was a little to
blame. He had seen manifestations of Sera<-
pliina Pump’s dormant-energies: for he was'
present wlich she took- a cat by the tail wliicls
bad scratched her, whirled it. t wo or three times
round her head, and slmsg it. whizzing and
crashing, through the window i>lto the street;
and he saw her bung her father’s eye with an
egg at breakfast, because he would not promise
to buy her a new bonnet, with other little af
fairs of the sort. But Fitzgig, like ourselves,
in our “sallad days,” as Coleridge rafL the
time, when we fall in love with bright eyes and
such matters, liked a lady none the worse for a
little sparkling of the “old ’un” in her com
position. He believed she loved the harder
for it, and he was satisfied that his own sway
could curb all improper manifestations. Alas’
for Fitzgig! alas for most men who venture,
under tlie same impression, upon the same
experience! Fiery ladies may be beantifnl—
Bu may a kicking poney-—but lame them if you
can.
Fitzgig, in two weeks, was metamorphosed
into “ only my husband !” He struggled hard
—but who can resist bis fate? Mrs. Fitzgig
“chastised him so with the valor of her tongue”
and of her deeds, that his valor was speedily
returned non est inventus.
“I’m going out of town a fishing, to-mor
row, mv dear,” said Fitzgig, as he buckled ew
his stock before the glass eaily one morning:
“ but i’ll be back, my darling, soo& the next
day.”
“No you won:, my love,” shrieked Mrs.
Fitzgig, as she sat bolt upright in bed, “T see
bow it is—tired of your poor wife already: yes,
tired! I say tired!”
i So Mrs. Fitzgig sprang out of her nest, lift-
I ed up a pitcher of water and smashed it all to
i pieces t-u the floor.
I litz felt considerably dished; but eyeing
lady, of a must interesting figure and appear
ance, apparently in the bloom of youth. She
was habited in a loose undress ; and immedi
ately afterwards, a female attendant placed
before her a large tub filled with warm water,
in which she immersed her feet. Far from im
posing any impediment to the act which she
knew he was sent to perform, the lady assured
him of her perfect resignation ; entreating him
to put the sentence passed upon her into exe
cution, with as little delay as possible. She
added, that she was well aware no pardon
could be hoped for from those who had devoted
her to death, which alone could expiate her
trespass; felicitating herself that his humanity
would abrieviate her sufferings, and terminate
their duration.
“ After a short conflict with his own mind,
percoiving no means of extrication or of es
cape, either for the lady or for himself: being
moreover urged to expedite his work by the
two persons without, who, impatient at his re
luctance, threatened to exercise violence on
him, if he procrastinated ; Ogilvie took out his
lancet, opened her veins, and bled licr to death
in a short time. The gentlemen having care
fully examined the body, in order to ascertain
that she was no more, after expressing their sa
tisfaction, offered him a purse of zechins, as a
remuneration ; but lie declined all recompense,
only requesting to be conveyed away from a
scene on which be could not reflect without
honor. With this entreaty they complied,
and having again applied a bandage to bis eves,
they led him down the same staircase, to the
carriage. But, it being narrow, in descending, ... . . . ,
the steps, he contrived to leave on one,.or both . 1 - - r ’ v...
of the walls, unperceived by his conductors,
the marks of his fingers which were stained
with blood. After observing precautions simi-
lar to those used in bringing him thither fr« >m
his owu house, he was conducted home; and
at parting, the two masques charged him, if he
valued his life, never to divulge, and, if possi
ble, never to think of the past transaction.—
They added, if he should embrace any mea
sures, with a view to render it public, or to set
on foot an inquiry into it, be choukl be infalli
bly immolated to their revenge. Having fi
nally dismissed him at his own dour, they drove
off, leaving him to his reflections-
“On the subsequent momingj after great ir
resolution, he determined, at whateter risk of
bis personal safety, not to participate, by
concealing so enormous a crime. It formed,
nevertheless, a delicate and difficult undertak
ing to substantiate the charge, as he remained
altogether Ignorant of the place to which he

The basin followed tl pitcher. Mrs. Fitz
gig seized the looking glas p and ejaculated
with a sufficient glance r “Going a fishing!”
Whnt could Fitz do? He was concerned,
as they say, in the neighborhood of tlie Star
and Bank Alley. So he knuckled down close.
The war was unexpected, and he had not cal
culated the cost.
“No, I believe I ainl going a fishing.” Mrs.
Fitzgig saw that she had made an impres
sion. Her military genius whispered to her
to follow it up. It is not enough to route afue~
The true principle is to demolish him—to use
him completely up.
“Ah, you only say that to deceive your poor
neglected wife—there is some mispress; that’s
the fish: and you want to sneak off.”
Now, Fitz looked conscience striken, like all
cowards, he did intend to sneak off, and his
face betrayed him.
“ You are going a fishing, Mr. Fitzgig,”
sail she, and crash went the mirror against the
wall.
Mrs. Fitz commenced dressing with extra
ordinary despatch, tore the things, upset the
table, whirled the lamp at the matures of the
delights of wedded love, which graced the
wall, and with unwashed face slammed the door,
marched down stairs, repeating the word “fish
ing,” as she passed. What happened below

A TRACEDV IN REAL LIFE.
The vicinity of the northern provinces of
the kingdom of Naples to the papal territories,
and the ease with which malefactors of both
countries, respectively gain an asylum, by pas
sing the frontiers, opened a door to the com
mission of the most flagitious acts. Convers
ing one day at Portici, on this subject, with
Lady Hamilton, she related to me the follow
ing story, which I shall endeavour to give in
her own words:—“About the year 1743, a
person of the name of Ogilvie, an Irishman by
birth, who practised surgery with great repu
tation at Rome, and who resided not far from
the “ Piazza di Spagan,” in that city, being in
bed, was called up to attend some strangers
who demanded his professional assistance.—
They Flopped before his house in a coach; and
on his going to the door, he found two men
masked, by whom he was desired to accompa
ny them immediately, as the case which brought
them admitted of no delay, and not to omit
taking with, him his lancets.., He complied,
under the further condition of affixing over j

—while many a lady fair—before marriage, all
softness and graceful humility—bears within
her breast the developed fire and inimitable re
solution of an ^Alexander, a Napoleon, or a
Caesar. That soul, which bad she been a man,
would have qualified her for a military con
queror, or a great thief-catching police officer,
by being in a female frame, renders her a Zan-
