frost came, she would find the eavein which
he lived dark and chill, and would sigh fol
her fathers comfortable castle hall.
Butlady Matilda was strong aud health
ful, and had little fear of colds and rheuma-
tisms; she thought Robin Hood handsome,
and fancied that he would be the best pro
tector against that naughty prince she could
have; so she looked into his face, with her
beaotlful, blue, beseeching eyes, till he could
resist her no longer, but lifted her upon her
palfrey, and walked by her side toward Sher-
wood Forest, talking to her, holding her
hand, aud loving her better and better every

They were married at the camp, by jolly
friar Tuck, and had merry wedding feast
The next day Robin Hood and his wife who
had taken the name of Marian, sent mes
senger to the Earl Of Fitzwater, telling how
they were married, and asking him if he had
any objections. He sent back word that he
disowned his daughter, and never would for
give her; and made some rather unhandsome
remarks upon the character of his son-in.
law, which reused Marian's spirit But the
old Earl missed his only child, and was SO
lonely in his grand castle, that, at last, it
seemed to him that he must see her or he
should die. So he disguised himself as a
merchant minstrel and went to Robin Hoods
camp. He was kindly received, and feasted
with good game and excellent wine. After
dinner, Robin Hood flung himself down on
bank of wild violets for nap, and Marian
began scattering dasies over him.
The Earl watched them in their happiness,
and thought of his own loneliness till he
could stand it no longer, but bowed his head
in his hands, and burst into tears. Marian
knew that sob-she had heard it once before,
when her mother died.. She dropped her
flowers, ran to her father, and wept with
him. Robin Hood sprang up and joined with
them-and all was made up between them.
The Earl Of Fitzwater became quite fond ot
his son-in law, though he often warned him
that he would come to the gallows if he did
not mend his ways. But Robin Hood did
not mend his ways for better or for worse.
He continued to take from the rich and give
to the poor; to play tricks and seek adyen-
lures in disguise; to fght the troops Of the
king and the Sheriff of Nottingham; to hate
and make war upon ell priests to the last
He lived to be an old man, loved by all the
poor, and feared and hated by all the rich.

abovs thoughts were penned, and 1t may act
as commentary upon what we have said:
But among the most panic-struck, the
most alarmed, the most eager to hasten away,
there were hundreds Of professors, and many
indeed who are wont, in days Of healthful-
ness, in times Of happiness, peace and pros
perity, to make the loudest profession, to as
sumo the most grave and religious aspect,
and to be the must ready and forward to give
words of reproof for delinquency and appa-
rently unchrstian conduct. Do not some
show now, that they have beam in their
eye! There is deap meaning in this con-
duct.
OF the four or five members of the clergy
who have hurried off, it may not become us
to speak now. They know their duty

professed entirely too much, considering
what we have practced, and it is high time
that we commence radical reformation.-
