A cay and sprit-stirring scene did the in
npr court-yard of Warwick Castle present, on
the morrow of st. Alphege for Lord Warwick
was about to set forth to join his Son-in-Iaw
Clarence with his own retainers and, altho'
the rustic crowd that had pressed in to gaze
npon the right royal state Of the great earl
were uncertain whether the we'll armed cOmpa-
nv were about to fight against the pcasantrv
who were now in arms under the guidance of
Sir Robert Weles and Sir Charles Delalaunde,
or were intended to support them, still, when
they watched the retainer in their bright scar
let coats, with the proud badge, the white rag
ced staff worked on the breast and shoulder.
and the men-at-arms in glttering plate-armor,
and mOri0nS that threw back the sunbeams
Ike polished mirror, and the pages and es-
QuireS, in brOidcred SurcOatS, and knights in
inlaid suits of armor, and plumed helmets,
mounted on their richly caparisoned war-steedS
and Warwick himself conspicuous, with nod
ding white plume and blazOned mantle, their
shouts rent the air, and there was neither lip
nor heart that echoed not "Success to War
wick " But, unmoved by the glad shouts,
and, hastily withdrawing his hand from the
,aSp of his daughter, the Lady Anne, War
wick turned hastily away, and was about de-
Eccnding the steps, when his eye rested upon

" And for what !"
" Cast away the White Rose, and uplift the

The reply was given in no under-tonc, and
the old man looked proudly around, as though
be brought indeed a message from Heaven ;
End the retainers of the earl gazed with awe
trlcken wonder upon him.

ASK yonder messengers, who have ridden

The weary messengers who had lust arrived
advanced and told how the two leaders of the

kings solemn promise, been beheaded as trail
TORS, and how that Edward had even now de-

to summon him to return to his allegiance.

tearing the White Rose from his helm, and
