whose breath is in his nostrils, the blame
hat he falls, when heaven never gave him
strength of nerve to stand! The weak
rider is thrown by his unruly horse, and
trampled to death--the strongest man, the
best cavalier, springs to the empty saddle,
and uses bit and spur till the fiery horse
knows its master. Who blames him, who
mounted aloft, rides triumphantly amongst
the people, for having succeeded, where
the unskilful fell and died? Verify he
hath his reward: Then, what is that piece
of painted canvas to me more than others!
No, let him show to others the reproaches
of that cold, calm face, that proud yet
complaining eye. Those who have acted
on higher respects have no cause to start
at painted shadows. Not wealth nor
power brought me from my obscurlty.--.
The oppressed consciences, the injured
liberties of England, were the banners that
followed.
He raised his voice so high, as if plead
ing his own defence before some tribunal,
that Pearson, the officer in attendance,
looked into the apartment; and observing
his master, with his eyes kindling, his arm

raised like a general in the act Of COM
manding the advance Of his army, he in
stantly withdrew.
cit was other than selfish regards that
drew me forth to action" continued Crom-
well, "and dare the world---ay, living or
dead challenge---to assert that armed
for private cause, or as a means Of en-
larging my fortunes. Neither was there
trooper in the regiment who came there
with less of evil will to yonder unhap-
py-"
At this moment the apartment opened,
and a gentlewoman entered, who, from
her resemblance to the General, although
her features were soft and feminine, might
be immediately recognized as his daugh
ter. She walked up to Cromwell, gently
