'toile and clangers await ince to which 1 cannot consent, to thy exposure. That tender form of thine, lily love, is not'stlited to endure the buffet of my stormy fortune.' Such were the words of the It}tsbaud of 'the Lady (.'atltarine Gordon, on his return from au unsuccessful interview with James IV. of Scotland. " And shall I1.untly's daughter," replied the lady, " thus consent to desert her lhusband'' No, my dear Richard, I have shared your short-lived splendor, let nio participate in your reverses.

As the. unhappy speaker oonaluilod he fettled in bis arms his ‚faithful wife, Mid• ineili:otually endeavored -to subdue her deter- mination to share his fortunes. The realer will ere this have tliscovet.ed in the husband of the Lady Catharine the youth who, during the rei m,of -Henry VII„ had arro`ated to himself the title of Richard, Duke of York; second on of Edward IV., who with his brother had been murdered in the Toe er by the inhuman i,ichard III. Possessed of every a'con111isliuerit that could engage affection, the youth, whose name was Perkin \Yarbeek, a Fleming, had gamed the ready. respect end corilidtnce -of many persons of rank in England. • After the f,ulure, However, of his endea- vors to exeito a revolt in that country., which were discovered by the vigilance of the -king, 11,1 1 frustrated by the immediate execution. of his adhereuts, he hal repaired to Scotland, ante:elicited the assistance of' James. IV. to. phare him on the throne of efeitglande James, whose credulity was equaI'to his valor, was easily prey oiled on to.support his pretensiotls. 1 -le received him with the highest dist him tion, and in short time consented to his nuinn • with, a relative of his own, the Lady Catharine Gordon, daughter of the Earl. of 1-Imitly. Between the "White Rose of Scotland" —for such was the appellatitnr.which the extraordinary beauty of this young •lady had gained her—and the adventurer. an ardent attachment had exi%ed from the earliest period of his arrival in Scotland.. But finding the English people by no means disposed to join the fictitious prince, the Scottish king gave up the cause as hopeless. • • • The sun was attaining to his meridian' height when -the unhappy adventurer and his devoted bride embarked at -Leith for • Flanders. "Bless thee, leddie 1 bestow a bawbee in charity on puir auld witless Massie." • Such were the words addressed by a wretched -looking figure to the Lady Cath- arine, as, hanin , on her husband's arm; she appeared out the beach. She threw her n small coin, whiali the beggar received, ejaculating•: • .,, " " deny thanks, leddie; Mansie's prayers shall swell the breeze that wafts thee ower the vide saut wave. linty" almost shrieked she, gazing intently 00 the astonished Gothatlne,-.`'muck le fear Inc I ye needna wish a speedy voyage --better a watery grave than a broken heart -Letter n pillow on the (limning brine than 0sleepleess bed ion foreign land." . " Whin niennest theft ?" earnestly de- manded Catharine, whose curiosity and elm n1 1t•erc t)oegly excit.d by the words of the be; ; l'. " eh, le bile, 1lin1a0 ask.

As the boat was rowed from the shore, the beggar's discordant voice was heardi'hanting the following song : "Tho white hese bas bloomed Trrrcnigit a brief summer eny, Yet the white now is doomed To a rapid deeay. Thy smile may Impart si ee•t11Css awhile, . Yet the tritons in t11y: swarf That shalt banish thatt smile. • '""Farewell --,111, farewell!

" As the,- last words of the sone pealed on the ears of the terror -smitten Catharine,. she ascended the side of the vessel, and, with eyes tearless from agony, perceives the shores of her native land, reoeding- fast from her view. • By an agreement between the English .and Flemish courts, all English rebels.- had been exalnded from the Low Countries.t Perkin, though born in England, :was a .Fleming by extraction, acid might therefore have olamed, admission into Flanders. But, as he must have dismissed his English retainer's, the. brave . oompaniona of his dangers, and as he had to apprehend a cold reception from a people. who were determined to maintain• an .amicable footing with' the Englislr•Court, he resolved not to hazard the experiment, but repaired to ..Ireland, where he remained for seine time. in insecure and comfortless exile. • It is not' l;o 'be 'oxpeeted theawe shall follow the historian in'a detail -of his subse- quernt attempt upon.
