greatest disorder and confusion The earl of Both
well was forced to fly into Denmark to his life
the queen was seized, carried prisoner to Lochle-
ven, and was treated on her road with such scorn
and contempt, as her own personal dignity might,
one would think, have secured her FROM Though
that indeed greatly obscured, for she was put
into very mean apparel; and when the inhabitants
of the town came out to meet her, she made most
disgraceful figure, being covered with dust and
tears. She was conveyed to the provost's lodgings
and committed to the care of Murray's mothers
who "having been James the Wins concubine, ex~
ulted much, says Camden, over the unfortunate
and afflicted queen, Boosting that she was the law
full wife of James the With, and that her Murray
was his lawful ssue.' What aggravated Mary's
misfortunes was, that she was believed to have
been the cause of lord Darny's death, in order to
revenge the loss of David Rizzio, an italian musl
cian supposed her gallant, and whom lord Darnly
had killed on that account. Be this as will. when
queen Elizabeth heard of this treatment of the
queen of Scots she seemed fired with Indignation
at it, and sent Sir Nicholas Throgmorton into
Scotland, to expostulate with the conspirators for
it. and to consult by what means she might be
stored to her liberty. But Elizabeth was by no
means in earnest she was not that friend to the
queen of Scots which she pretended to be; and, if
she was not in some the contriver OF these
troubles to her, there is great reason to think that
she secretly rejoiced at them. When queen Eliza
beth was crowned, the queen of Scots had assum-'
ed the arms and title of the kingdom of England
and this indignity Elizabeth could never forget as
not thinking herself quite safe, while Mary harbour
ed such pretensions
Having been detained prisoner at Lochleven
eleven months, and most inhumanly forced to COM
DIV with many unreasonable demands, highly de-
trimental to her honour and interest, she escaped
thence May 2, 1868, to Hamilton-castle. Here, in
an assembly of many Of the nobity,there was drawn
sentence declaring that the grants extorted from
her majesty in prison, among which was resgna-
ton of the crown, were actually void from the be-
ginning upon which such numbers of people came
in to her assistance, that within two three days.
she cot an army of at least 5000. On the other SIDE,
Murray, with great expedition, made all prepare
tons imaginable to attack the queens forces before
they became too formidable; and, when they join
! ed battle, her majesty's army, consisting OF raw
soldiers. were soon defeated, and she obliged to
save herself by fight, travelling in one day sixty
miles +o the house of Maxwell, lord Herbs. Thence
she despatched messenger to queen Elizabeth
with diamond, which she had formerly received
from her, as pledge Of mutual amity; signifying
that she would come into England and beg her as

compositions were much esteemed by Ronsard,
who was himself at that time an excellent poet
She had good taste for music, played well on Sc
veral instruments fine dancer, and sat horse
gracefully. But these last accomplishments she pur-
sued rather out of necessity than choice; and when
she followed most her own nclinations, would be
employed among her women in needle-work. To
the charms Of beauty, and the utmost elegance of
external form, she added those accomplishments
which render their impression irresistible polite,
affable, inslnuatng, and sprightly. An implement
OF the arms of France and Scotland is embroidered
under an imperial crown, on the valence of the
canopy in the presence chamber at Whitehall, much
of which is said to be of her handy-work.
All these accomplishments, with fine person in
to the bargain, rendered her amable to Henry
II. of France and his queen, as to make them desi-
of marrying her to the dauphin, which was
cordingly brought about; and the nuptials were
solemnzed the Goth of April, 1858. But this hap
Ply marriage (for such it seems it was,) lasted buta
little while; since Francis H., as he then was, be-
ing violently seized with catarrh in his ear, died
of it, Dec S, 1860. His disconsolate queen, being
left without issue, returned after to Scotland,
where she had not been long, before Charles, arch
duke of Austria, was proposed to her husband,
by the cardinal of Lorrain But queen Elizabeth
interposed, and desired she would not marry with
any foreign prince, but make choice of husband
out of her own nobility. She recommended to her
either the earl of Leicester, or the Lord Darn
ly; giving her to understand, that her succession
to the crown of England would be very precarious,
if she did not comply. Being thus overawed by
Elizabeth, and not little taken with lord Darnley,
who was extremely handsome, she consented to mar
~ him: and creating him earl of Ross and duke of
Rothesay, July %, 1865, he was the same day pro-
claimed king at Edinburgh, and married to the
queen the day after. BY this husband she had one
son, born at Edinburgh, June 10, 1566,who was af
forwards James the With of Scotland, and the LIST
of England, Queen Elizabeth congratulated her
upon this occasion; though, as Camden says she
inwardy grieved at being prevented by her rival in
the honor of being mother. She openly favored
her title to the succession; and the prince was
commended to her ,najesty's protection.
Feb. 1867, the new king of Scotland was muir
dered in very barbarous manner, by the contr-
vance of the earl Of Murray, who was the queens
base brother and, May following, she was married
to John Hepborne, earl of Boutwell, man of an
ambitious temper and dssolute manners, and who
in reality had been lord Darnly s murderer. From
this time series of infelcites attended her to the
end of her life The different views and interests
of the nobility CLERGY. and gentry in regard to re-

Genuine Memoirs of MARY, QUEEN OF Scors in
Guiding some anecdotes of LoRD DARNLEY, one
of her Consorts.
MANY, Queen of Scots, famous for her beauty,
w.t. learning and misfortunes, was born December,
g. 1912, and was the daughter and sole heiress of
James the Fifth, King of Scots, by Mary of Lorrain,
his second queen, and dowager of Longueve.-
She was not eight days old when her father died;
whereupon, after great ani1nosities among the no.
bility it was decreed that the earl of Arran, be-
ing by proximity of blood the next heir to the
in legitimate descent, and the first peer of Scotland.
should be made governor of the kingdom, and
guardian of the queen who remained, IN the mean
tme with her mother in the royal palace Of Lnlith
gov. Great suit being made by Henry the Eighth,
in behalf of his son Edward for this princess her
childhood, it was at last agreed between the chief
peers of both Kingdoms, that she should be given in
marriage to that prince which, being refused af-
forwards, occasoned the famous battle of Mussel-
burg Upon the defeat of the Scots at this battle,
she was conveyed by the queen-mother into the
isle of Inchemahom, where she laid the foundation
of her knowledge in the Latin, French, Spanish,
and Italian tongues; in which she afterwards arriv
ed at so great perfection that few were found equal
to her in any of them, and none superior in them
all.
The queen-mother being inclined to the interest
Of France, the young queen, by her care, was con-
veyed thither, when but about six years DID, After
staying few days with the king and queen at court,
she was sent to monastery, where were educated
the daughters of the chief nobility of the kingdom
Here she spent her time in all the offices and duties
of monastic life being constant in her devotons,
and very observant of the discipline. She placed
much of her study in learning languages; and she
acquired SO consummate skill in Latin, that she
spoke an Grafton of her own composing in that Ian
guage, in the great guard-room at the Louvre, be-
fore the royal family and nobility of France. She
was naturally inclined to poetry, and made SO great
progress in the art as to be writer herself Her

POETRY.
TIE REAPER,s SONG.

We yerdant bills, We smiling fields,
Thou earth, whose breast spontaneous yields
To man a rich supply;
Echo, whose mimic notes prolong
The melting strain, and bear along,
Ger distant glades and caves among,
The mountain shepherds artless song,
Soft swelling to the sky
Attend the reaper's joyful lays,
And bear the tribute of their praise
To natures bounteous King;
Whose voice, loud sounding from the pole
In thunders oft is heard to roll,
when murmuring along it stole
The zephyrs' silken wing.
With bread, the heart of man to cheer,
See bending low the ripened ear
Bow its luxuriant head!
In vain, We SWANS had beenyour care,
Had not He caused the blight to spare
The promise of the summer fair,
And babe the sun, the rain, the air,
Their gracious influence shed.
He babe the soft refreshing gale
Blow gently down the teeming gale,
Nor hurt the peeping grain,
But when the ear began to rise,
To him we raised our anxious eyes;
OFT from the cisterns OF the skies
He sent, in mercy, rich supplies,
Early and latter rain.
And now His hand hath crown'd our toll,
We JOY like those that share The spoil,
The harvest home to bear!
With scouts the laughing pastures ring,
With greatful hearts, ye reapers sing
The praise OF Heavens Eternal King,
Through whose paterna care We bring
The produce of the year.
