pirates made full confession of their guilt and
suffered the penalty Of the law, while The sad

Several years after these occurrences had
taken place, the inhabitants Of a certain vii
lage in Scotland, were surprised at the appear

rode into town in great state, with her multi
tude Of footmen and attendants. She was
travelling for her health, which some mcan-
| cboy circumstances in her family had render
&C rather precarous. The day following her
arrival, being the sabbath, she honoured the
| village church with her presence, aud seemed
| highly pleased with the appearance Of the
young clergyman who oficated there. She
| inquired his namo and on being informed it was
| Harrydon, expressed desire to be introduced
to him. In this she was anticipated; for the
same afternoon she received an invitation to
the parsonage. The lady was surprised at the
uncommon beauty Of the ministers wife, and
the refinement of the obscure parson himself
In the course of their conversation tho lady
spoke Of her own misfortunes-"I had " said
! she, ga father and an intended husband slain
by although will do the justice TO
their captain TO say that he opposed those
saEguinary measures as long as life remained
but ho fell victim to his generosity"
Harrydon's face was crilnsonod in an in.ta nj ,
and the lady remarked, for tho first time, q
broad scar on his forehead which was nesrly
covered by his exuberant dark locks.
| "What is very singular" continued the la
dy, with pensve smile, "the gallant corsair's
name was Harrydon-pray sir, did you sver
hear of the circumstances Of the case.'
The clergyman scorned TO lie; and was 81
