Clivc-r Crcmv/all —Born 1535, Died

BY NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE.
Not alonn after King Jarnosthe First
took the place of Queen Elizabeth on
the throne of England, there lived an
English knight at a place called llin
•cliiuhrooke. His name was Sir Oliver
Gromwe.il. Ha spent his life, I suppose,
pretty much like other English knights
and squires in those days, hunting
hares and foxes, and drinking large
quantities of aic and wine. The old
house in which he dwelt, had been oc
cupied by his ancestors before him, for
a good many years- In it there was a
great hull, hung round with coats of
of arms and helmet, cuirasses anil
swords, which his forefat.iers had used
in battle, and with horns of deer and
tails of foxes, which they or Sir Oliver
himself had killed in the chase.
This Sir Oliver Cromwell had a
nephew who had been called Oliver, af
ter himself, but who was generally
known in the family by the name of
little Noll. His father was a younger
brother of Sir Oliver. The child was
often sent to visit his uncle, who proba
bif-’found him a troublesome little fel
low to take care of. Ho was forever
in mischief, and always running into
some danger or other, from which he
seemed to escape only by miracle.
Evon while he was an infant in the
cradle, ustiunge accident had befallen
him. A huge ape, w liich was kept in
the family, snatched up little Noll in
his lore paws, and clambered with him
to the roof of the house. There this
tigly beast sat grinning at tho affright
ed spectators, as if ho had done the
most praiseworthy thing imaginable.
Fortunately, however, he brought the
child safe down again ; and the event
was afterwards cor. side red an omen that
Noll would reach a very elevated sta
tion in the world.
One morning, when Noll was five or
six years old, a royal messenger ar
rived at Hinchinbrooke, with tidings
that King James coming to dine with
Sir Oliver Cromwell. This was a high
. honor to be sure, but a very great troub
le ; for all the lords and ladies, knights;
squires, guards and yeomen who waited
on the King, were to be feasted ns well
us himself; and more provisions would
be eaten, and more w ine drunk in that
one day, than generally in a month. —
However, Sir Oliver expressed much
thankfulness for the King’s intended
visit, and ordered his butter and cool;
to make the best preparations in their
3pwer. So a great fire was kindled in
the kitchen ; and the neighbors knew
by the smoke which poured out of the
* chimney, that boiling, baking, stew ing,
roasting and frying were going on rner
rily.
IJy-and-bv the sound of trumpets
was heurd approaching nearer and
nearer; a heavy, old fashioned coach,
surrounded by guards on horseback,
drove up to the house. Sir Oliver,
4 with his hat in hand, stood at the gate
ready to receive the King. His Majes
ty was dressed in a suit of greet), not
very new, he had a feather in his hat,
and a tripie rull round lus neck ; and
‘wer bis shoulder was slung u hunting-
horn, instead of a sword. Altogether, j
he had not the most dignified aspect in
the world ; but the spectators gazed at
him, us if there was something super
human and divine in his person. They
even shaded their eyes with their
hands, as if they were dazzled by the
glorv of his countenance.
“How arc ye, mon V’ cried King
James, speaking in a Scotch accent;!
tor Scotland was his native country.—
“By my crown, Sir Oliver, but 1 am
glad to see ye !”
Tho good knight thanked the King,
at the same time kite ling down, while
His Majesty alighted. When King
James stood on tho ground, he directed
Sir Oliver’s attention to-a little hoy who
had comewith him in the coach. He
w'as six or seven years old, and wore a
hat and feather, and was more richly
dressed than the King himself. Though
by no means an ill-looking child, he
seemed shy, or even sulky ; and his
cheeks were rather pale, as if he had
been kept moping within doors, instead
of being suit oat to play in the sun and
wind,
“I have brought my son Charles to
see ye,” said the King. “I hope Sir,
Oliver, ye have a sjd i-f your own, to
be his playmate !”
Sir Oliver Cromwell made a rever
ential how to the little prince, whom one
of the attendants had now taken out of
the coach. It was wonderful to see
how all the spectators, even the aged
men, with their grey bear Is, humbled
themselves before this child. They
bent their bodies until their beards al
most swept the dust. They looked as
if they were ready to kneel down and
worship him.
The poor little prince ! From Ids
earliest infancy not a soul had dared to
contradict him; every body around him
had acted as if lie were a superior be
ing; so that, of course, he hud imbibed
the same opinion of himself. Ho natu
rally supposed that the whole kingdom
of Great Britain, and nil its inhabitants,,
had been created solely tor bis benefit
and amusement. This was a very sad
mistake ; and it cost him dear enough
after he had sceitded his fathers throne.
“What a noble little prince ha is!”
exclaimed Sir Oliver, Idling,his hands
in admiration. “No, please your Mai.
esty, I have no son tone the playmate
of his Royal Highness, but there is a
nephew of mine somewhere atinut tlie
house. He is near the prince’s age,
and will be but too happy to wait on his
Royal Highness.”
But as it happened, there was no need
of sending for master Noll. While
King Jaiucs was speaking, n ruegged,
bold-faced, sturdy little urchin thrust
himself through the throng of courtiers
and attendants, and greeted tho prince
with a broad stare. His doublet and
hose (which had been put on new and
clean in honor of the King’s visit,)
were already soiled and torn with the
rough play in which.he hud spent the
the morning. He loooked no more
abashed than if King James were his
uncle, and the prince one of his custom
ary playfellows.
This was little Noll himself.
“Here, please your Majesty, is my
nephew,” said Sir Oliver, somewhat
ashamed of Noll’s appearance and do
me a nor. “Oliver, make your obeis
ance to the King’s Majesty !”
The boy made a pretty respectful eb- 1
cisance the King; for in those days
children were tuught to pay reverence!
to their elders. King James, who pri-!
ded himselfgreatly on his scholarship, 1
asked Noll a few questions in the Latin j
Crammer, and then introduced him to!
his son. The little prince, in’ a vcfiv !
grave and dignified manner, extended 1
his hand, not for Noli to shake, but that j
lie might kneel clown and kiss it.
“Nephew,” said Sir Oliver, “pay
your duty to the prince.”
“1 owe him no duty,” cried Noll,!
thrusting aside the priuees’s linad, with
a rude laugh—“ Why should t kiss that
boy’s hand
All the courtiers were amazed and
confounded, and Sir Oliver the most ofj
all ; but the King laughed heartily,
saving that little Noll had a stubborn
English spiiit, and that it was well ;
for his son to learn betimes what sort ofj
a people lie was to rule over.
So King James and his train entered
the house ; and the prince, with Noll
and some other children was sent to
play in a separate room, while Ilia M..j
esty was at dinner. Tho young people,
soon became acquainted; for hoys,
whether the sons of monarchs or peas
ants, all like play, and are pleased with
one another’s society. What games
they diverted themselves with, 1 cannot
tell. Perhaps they played at ball—per
haps at blindman’s bulf—perhaps at
leap-frog—perhaps at prison bars.—
Sacli games have been in use for hun
dreds of years, and princes as we ll as
poor children have spent some of their
happiest hours in playing at them.
Meanwhile King Jam sand his no
bles were feasting with Sir Oliver in
his great hall. Tne King sat in a gild,
ed chair, und<*r a canopy, at thr head of
a long table. \Y heii’ ’. ;r any ot i:ie

company addressed him, it was with
the deepest reverence. If the attend
ants offered him wine, or tho various
delicacies of the festival, it was upon ,
their bended knees. You would have
thought, by these tokens of worship, \
that the monarch was a supernatural j
Iwing—only he seemed to have quite i
| as much need of those vulgar matters,
I food and drink, as miy other person at
| the table; but fate had ordained that
’ good King James should not finish his
| dinner in peace.
All of a sudden, there arose a lerri
j ble uproar in the room where the chil
| drun were .at play. Angry shoujs and
! shrill of alarm were mixed up together,
while tho voices of elder persons were
likewise heard, frying to restore order
among the children. Tho King and
every body else at the table looked
[aghast; for, perhaps, the tumult made
! ihem think that a general rebellion had
j broken out.
| “Mercy on us!” muttered Sir Oli
ver, “that graceless nephew of mine is
liu some misohiefor other. The uaugh
;tv little whelp !”
Gening up from the table, iio ran to
sec what was tho matter, followed by
many of the guests, and the King among
them. They all crowded to the door
of the playroom.
On looking in, they beheld the little
prince Charles, wtt.h his rich dress all
torn, and covered with tho dust of the
floor. His royal blood was streaming
from his nose in great abundance. lie
gazed at Noll with a mixture of rage
ami affright, and at the same timeapuz
i zleti expression, us it he"could n t un
derstand how any mortal boy should
dare to give him a beating. As for
Noll, there s ood his sturdy littlo fig
ure, bold ns a lion, looking as it’ tie were
ready to tight not only the prince, but
the King and kingdom, too.
“You little villain !” cried his uncle.
“What have you been about ? L)owu
jon your knees, ami ask the prince’s
| pnjdnn. How dare you lay your
| hand's on the King’s Majesty’s royal
j son ?■”
“lie struck mo first,” grumbled the
valiant littlo Noll, “and I’vo only
giv,en him his due.”
Sir Oliver and the guests lifted up
| their hands in astonishment and horror.
!No punishment seemed severe enough
I for this wicked little varlet, who had
Ida red to resent a blow from the king's
[own son, Some of the courtiers were
lof opinion that Noll should be sent
I prisoner to the Tower of London, and
brought to trial for high treson. Oth
ers, in their,great zeal for the king’s
j service, were about to lay hands on the
boy, arid chastise him in the royal pres
ence; but King James, who sometimes
showed a good deal of sagacity, ordered
‘.hem to desist.
“Thou art a bold boy,” said he, look
ing fixedly ut little Noll; “and if you!
live to be a man, my son Charlie would i
do wisely to be friends with thee.”
“I never will!” cried the little
prince, stamping his foot.
“Deuce, Charlie, peace!” said the!
king; then addressing Sir Oliver and j
the attendants, “Harm not the urchin,
fur iie lias taught my son a good lesson,
if Heaven do but.give him grace to prof-1
it by it. Hereafter, should he lie temp- i
ted to tyrrantiiza over the stubborn race
of Englishmen, let him remember littlo
; Noil Cromwell, and his own bloody j
; nose.”
Bo the King finished his dinner and i
departed; and for many a long year!
tho childish quarrel between Prince!
Charles and Noll Cromwell was forgot- !
ten. The Prince, indeed, might have 1
lived a happier life, and have met a I
more peace lul death, had he remem
bered that quarrel, and the moral which [
ids father on mat occasion drew from;
it.; but when old King James was dead,!
ami Charles sat upon his throne, lie;
! !.e seemed to forget that l.a wus hut
1 man, and that his meanest subjects’
were men as well as he. Ho wished to;
have ihe property and lives of tho peo
ple of England entirely at his disposal;
but the Puritans, and ail who loved Jib
eriy. rose against him, and beat him in!
many battles, arid puiled him down
from his throne.
| Throughout this war between the j
I King and nobles on one side, and the:
: people of England on the other, there
was a famous loader, who did more to
wards the ruin of royal authority than
ali the rest. The contest seemed like 1 !
a wrestling match between King;
Charles and this strong man; and the
King was overthrown.
When the discrowned monarch was!
brought to trial, that war like leader
sat in the judgment hall. Many judges |
were present beside himself; but he
alone had the power to save King’
Charles, or to doom him to the scaffold, j
After sentence was pronounced, this!
victorious general was entreated by hist
own children, on his knees, to rescue!
ii is M ijesty from death.
“No!” said he, sterriiy. “Better!
that one man should perish, than that!
the whole country should be ruined for*
bis sake. It is resolved that lie shall!
dip'”
Wh-M Charles, no longer King, was
led ‘to the scaffold, Ids great cm* ay
stood at tile window <.f the .royal place
[of Whitehall. He beheld the poor vic
tim of pride, and an evil education, and
missued power, ns lie laid his head up.
[on the block. Ho looked on with u
! steadfast .z?, while n black-veiled ex
ecutioner r lifted the fatal uxe and smite
‘ oti’thiit anointed head at a single blow.
“It is r righteous deed,” perhaps he j
8 said to himself. ‘ Now Englishmen
’ may enjov their rights.”

i Probably there was not a single trait,
cither of aspect or mannor that belonged
to the littlo Noll, who had battled so
t stoutly with Prince Charles. Yet this
. was he !
He lifted the coffin-lid, the
i light of his torch to fall upon the dead
monarch’s face. Then, probably, his
; mind went hack over ul! the marvel

I out empty title or the glittering crown.
“Why was it,” s-dd Cromwell to
’ himself-—or might have said—as he
■ gazed at tho pale, features in tho coffin,
■ “Why was it that tho great king fell,
i ami that poor Noll Cromwell has gained
• all tiia power of the realm?”
And, indeed, why was ii ?
■ King Charles had fallen, because, in
t liis manhood, the same as when a child,
lie disdained to feel that every human
. creatme was liis brother. He deemed
i himself a superior being, and fancied
•i that his subjects’were created only for
a king to rule over. And Cromwell
I rose, because, in spite of iiis many faults
be mainly fought for the rigOis and
i freedom of liis fellow-metj; and there- i
fore tho poor and tho oppressed all lent
their strength to him. .
