LAST OF THE WELSH BARDS.


King Edward |. had determined to exter.
inmate the Welsh Bards, because he thought
their influence and love of liberty so great
that, while they lived, he would not succeed
in his purpose of subjugating Wales. Ac.
cordingly they were hunted and slain like
wild beasts. One only remained, the CHIEF
of bards, as well as prince of the blood roy.
al The English had for some time vainly
sought his retreat, when word was brought
to their camp that strong party of Welsh
had been seen on one of their most inacces-
sible mountains. Edgar, a chivalrous young
officer of noble birth, was ordained to select
a body of men 10 take the newly discovered
stronghold. @ 3D.
Late on the second day after leaving the
camp his little army emerged from the thick
forest and entered on the bare space which
made the top Of the mountain resemble the
tonsured head of a monk. The We,sh were
prepared to receive their enemies. Their
leader of slight and graceful figure, clad in
blue and white armor, and carrying spear
on which Hutlered the Welsh pennant step
ping to the front, as the English after haltine
a short time to repose and order their ranks
moved on to the attack, and commenced
singing a melody SO wild, sweet aud spirit
stirring, that the English soldiers looked Al
one and another with expressions Of surprise
and admiration, and would fain have stopped
to listen. The Welsh joined in the chorus
as they moved to meet their enemies. The
FIRST bio>s were aimed, when warrior o
giant size suddenly took the Welsh leader
in his arms, and bore him to place of safe
ty in the rear then resumed his post. The
battle hymn had ceased. In silent, terrible
energy the Welsh press upon their persecu'
tors, who yielded slowly. The giant moves
like an avalanche. Edgar springs to en-
counter him. The contest is too unequal
Edgar already faint, Is on one knee, ward
ing as best he may the blows of his huge
antagonist; when the Welsh leader, hastil,
coming up, orders the giant to desist. The
yictoriou, mountaineers are between Edgai
and his flying army, and he is captive
II he might judge by the tenderness in thu
deep blue eye, the golden curls the slender
mech, the rounded bust the little hand, th'
contour OF the perfect limbs, the taper ankl
aud tiny, foot the cheek like rose leaf thl
chin and the faullless mouth, we woul'
swear that he owed his life to a woman.

surface OF considerable extent nearly level
enclosed by high wall Of stones, built upo

Tenders fall, and the few that remain are
weary of slaughtering, he sings on. The
English press on III fresh numbers, even into
the mouth Of the cavern. Edgar can re-
strain himself no longer. He sezes the old
man by one arm, Thalasa takes the other,
and together they half lead, half drag him
to the trap. They are upon il; Thalasa
touches the spring. the light is obscured ;
she looks up and utters shrek of terror
The English have climbed to the summit of
the rock, and one of them bending through
the opening which admits light into the hall
poises lA spear aimed at the group. The
trap descends; why o why sinks ii no fast
er! The spear falls with unerring aim; the
harp drops from the hands of the Bard its
cords break with a sobbing sound the old
mans head bows upon bis knees; the three
disappear beneath and the trap closes above
them. Thus died the Last Of The Welsh

CAPITAL GHOST STORY.


We do not generally give much credence
to ghost stories, but the following, which we
find in the Lynchburg NeWs, appears so in
trinsically reasonable in view of the awful
doom which doubtless awaits the wretch
who would swinde an editor, that we can
not for a moment doubt its truth. The story,
says the Netes, is dedicated in. an especial
manner to all newspaper readers" That
apparitions do not always wander without
sufficient cause, is proven by the well at
tested fact which we give below: aae1 10
Last Tuesday fortnight as Mrs, IA lady of
rather literary taste and studious habits), sat
reading in her drawing room, the clock upo n
the mantle piece struck twelvel As the
last stroke reverberated through the apart
ment, the door was flung wide open In
the act of raising her head TO repel the In
trusion (unrung tor) of her servant her eye
rested on the form Of her late husband ! She
screamed, and fell senseless on the carpet
This brought up such members of the family
as had not retired to rest; restoratives were
administered, and when Mrs. - had re-
gained her suspended faculties and being a
woman of strong mind and highly cult
waited intellect, she felt disposed to consider
the whole distress she had undergone as the
result Of certain associations between the
melancholy tale she had been perusing and
her late loss, operating on partially derang-
ed nervous system. She, however, consid-
cred it advisable that her maid servant
should repose in her chamber lest any return
of what she considered q nervous affection
shosld distress herself and alarm the family.

GIVE ARE THE REVOLUTION"

In debate during the first session of the
present Congress, one of the prominent Raj
cals declared very emphatically- are
the Revolution" The action of these gen.
tlemen since has convinced many who then
considered the announcement doubtful that
it was and is an actual fact. The people are
beginning to recognise it and to move in
opposition to its success. Al the New Haven
Democratic convention, Mr.. Brooks, who had
just been reelected to the seat in Congress
from which he was SO wickedly expelled re-
Gently, made few remarks. The following
pointed paragraph is a sy nopsis Of part Of
them: a4. ....a
"He informed the democracy that we were
in the midst of crisis, on the eve of rev.
olution, occasioned by the attempts of the
Rump Congress TO subvert the Government.
He charged that Congress was endeavoring
to seize all the powers. Of the Government,
National, State, and Local, and to do this
they were ready to impeach the President,
and to change the character of the Supreme
Court. That court had declared military ar
rests 10 be illegal. They had declared that
the Democracy, who were SO calumniated
during the war; were right, and that the
publicans wanted to change the court but
the President stood in the way, snd must be
removed by impeachment. He thought
Congress dare not go on with the impeach-
ment case. If they did, the President could
issue his proclamation calling for a forge to
support the Government; and the response
would be such, that not one railroad nor ten
thousand could transport the sons Of Democ-
racy going to his aid. The court and the
President must be sustained. II the Rump
Congress tried to remove him, the people
would arise and sweep them out Of existence
with the bosom of destruction
This remark Of Mr.. Crooks, we suppose, is
not made without some knowledge Of the
intentions of the Executive. He was not
alone in holding the opinion, for other gen
tlemen Of high standng-among whom was
Ex-Governor Thomas Ii. Seymonr--indorsed
the assertion, and congratulated the conven-
tion and the country upon the fact that the
Supreme Court had come out in favor Of the
President and the Constitution -Ex
