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 PENFIELD, GA. JULY 17, 1852. 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 At nig: w hen tins body of Charles - 1 was laid ai he coiiim.in a gloomy chum. ! her. ‘he general entered, lighting pm-. ,i self with a torch. Its,.gleam showed ■ [ that he was now growing old ; his vis. •! ago was scarred with the inanv battles ii in which bo had led the van,; liis brow I j was wrinkled with care, and with ihe >! continual exercise of stern authority, 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 ;• lons events that had brought the heredi tary king of England /o this dishonored > coffin, and had raised himself, an hum. ! hie individual, to the-possession of king. • ly power. Ho was a king, though, with. 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. .
