and autumn : winter, a season of great severity on
an unsheltered coast, was expected either to destroy
or drive him from his abode. but he braved every

When the severi;y of winter had pawsd away, and
see-birds laid their eggs in the sand, the mariner
remitted his excursions at sea, and commenced a
labour which surprised many. The sea-shore, or
that portion of the coast which lies between the
Burgle of the sea and the cultivated laud, a regiso
of shells. and drift send, sad pebbles, has ever been
regarded as a kind of common, and the right of sus•
pending nets, hassling boats aground, and coo.
strutting huts for the summer residence of the
fishermen, has never been disputed by the natural
lord of those thriftless domains. It was on this der
biteable ground, between the barren sea and the
cultivated field, that the mariner fixed his abode;
hut it soon appeared that he wished to extend his
possemious, and augment his household accommo-
dation. Ile constructed a larger and more aubstan.
tieb house, with equal attention to durability and
wetness; he fenced off the sea by • barrier of large
stouts, and scattered around his dwelling a few of
the common lowers which love to blossom near the
sea breeze. The smoke of leis chimney, end the
unremitting clank of his hammer finishing the in-
terior accommodatioos, were seen and heard from
gar. When all this was concluded he launch.
ed his boat and took to the sea again, and became
known from the Mull of Galloway to the foot of
Annan Water.
I remember the first time that ever I sew hies
was in the market-place of Dumfries: his beard
seemed of snore than a yeses growth, his clothes,
trice rich and tine, were denied and patched, and
over the whole he wore a kind of boat-cloak, which,
festeised round his neck,descended nigh the ground ;
bat all this penury could not conceal the step anal
Mr or ether and better days. He seldom looked in
the face of any one; man he seemed to mimed
wish an eye of score, and even deadly hatred ;
but on women he looked with softness and
regard, and when he happened to meet • mother
sail child he gazed on them with something of
settled sorrow and affection. He once made a full

coati) appearance, shrieked and fell ill its fright into
tit,. deep stream ; the mariner made but one spring
from the bank lute the river—saved the child. re-
placed it in its mother's bosom, and resumed his
journey, appareutly unconscious that he had done
engin r.triai liable. Ever after this the chil-
dren of Dumfries pursued him with the hue and cry.

The story is too long for insertion at full length.
The ballad is scarcely finished when the cottage is
attacked by a band of smugglers, who, having been
put to flight by Miles Conine. he invites the nar-
rator and his friend, the accidental eye-witnesses
of his gallantry, to share his hospitality. At the
social board he thus addressed his guests :.....
" I was not always an unhappy men—l had

and makes hies as one of the angels. I dwelt on a
wild sea-coast, full of woods and caverns, the haunt
of a banditti of smugglers, those fierce, and vulgar,
and intractable spirits, who find subsistence in

rance in hostility to bonen law, become daily
more hardened of been and fierce of nature.--

shared with the Buccaneers in the plunder of
Pausma. I had also been wedded for • number of
years; my wife est yoting and beautiful, and our
daughter, an only child, my own May Colvin,,
here where she sits, was in her thirteenth year,
with a frame that seemed much too delicate
to survive the disasters she has since been doomed
to meet. We were counselled to carry her to
warmer climates, and were preparing for our
voyage, and my wife was ready to accompany me,
when a large smuggling cutter cast anchor iii a
deep woody bay which belonged to my estate,
avid as I at on the top of my house, look•
itig towards the sea, a person in a hovel dress came
and accosted me. He was, he said, the Captain
of
the free trader lying in the bay; with a cargo of
choice wine, and his mariners were bold lads aed
tree, had periled themselves trebly by land and
ester, and often experienced the protection of
Miles Colvine'a bay, and the hospitality of his
menials. They had heard of my intention to carry
my site and daughter to a more genial climate, and
if we wished to touch at Lisboo, or to go to any of
the islands where Europeans seek fur health, they
would give us a passage, for they honoured us next
to commerce without law or restraint, But I most
tell you, that the chief of this bind, knowing my
love for marvellous tale*, hinted, that he had men
on board, who, to the traditionary lore of their ma-
ritime ancestors, added their own adventures and
deeds ; and could, with the rourentic bulled' of
Denmark sod Sweden, mingle the Troubadour
tales of France, the Moorish legends of Spain, aad
the singular narratives which survive among the
peasantry on my native tout. To soothe and pro•
pitiate my wife he had reendfse to another charm;
from the pocket Of a long bovit.cloalt he produced
mantle of the must precious fabric, end sprasdiag
it out before her, with all its rich variety of colour,
sod extern profusion of «numbest, offered it
as an humble present from himself and his
mariners. I need not prolong this part of my
narrative, we embarked at twilight, and standing out
of the bay, dropped anchor till morning dims- The
captain sat armed beside us = this excited no sitipi-
ciao, for he went commonly armed, and related
adventures of a tryisg sod remarkable kind which
had befallen him on foreign shores, with a lewdness,
end a kind of maritime grace, which were raggedy
captivating. All night we beard overhead the
tramp and the din of sailors peeing and repeat&
and with the grey of the raornimy we plechsd op
our mew, spread our soils to a shrill wind, shit
away seaweed, and my native lead vanished Ilea
sly view. All was life and gladness, we diner/
and we sang on deck, and drained cops of elm
purest who; while the breese &vested at, and the
sky remained unclouded sod serene.
°I la attest Owe days the spine games el ewe,
the Portuguese islands appeared before us, eed es
the sun was setting, it was resolved we should re.
mein at the entrance of • bay till day-light. We
were crowded on the deck, looking on the green and
beauteous land, and a gentle seaward wind wafted the
perfume of the forest about us. My wife was that in
the bloom of youth and beauty, full of health, and
life, and love; and as she stood leaning on my arm,
the sailors smoothed their rough looks, and re-
trained from curses, so much were they touched by
her beauty; but this awe lasted bat a little while.
The Captain was merry fur beyond his usual sea.
sure of delight, and drained one cup after another
to my wife's health and mine ; he vowed I was as •
god among hi. men, and that my wife was reve-
renced as a divinity. But come,' said he,
▪ Miles Olivine, I have a curious and a evening
thing to show you, which you slow deserve
to see; I got it among the Moors, so.eome, and
come alone.'—l rose and followed him, for my ,
curioaiiy was unbounded, he conducted me below,
and opening a small wicket in the well of his calan
with a key, ushered me in, and closing it suddenly
upon me, locked it, end then I heard him bound-
ing op the stair to the deck. I stood half imagining
this to be a jest, or something, at least, of • light
nature; bat shriek after shriek of my wife,
uttered in the piercing agony of anguish and
despair, soon undeceived me. I called, I en-
treated, I used force, and though I was armed by
anger and despair with almost supernatural might,
the door withstood all my efforts. But why should
dwell upon • scene of such unutterable misery ?
What I endured, and what the woman I loved and
