Douglas had caused his picked men to
approach the castle by walking on their
hands and knees, with long black cloaks
thrown over their bodies, and their lad
ders and weapons concealed under their
cloaks.. The men thus presented very
nearly the appearance of a herd OF cat
tie in the deep shadows, and completely
deceived. the sentinel, who was probably
thinking more of the music and daEcing
below than of the watchful enemy who
had been haunting the gloomy woods OF
Jedburgh.
The Black Douglas, or "Good James,
Lord Douglas" as he was called by the
Scots, fought, as | have already said, with
King Robert Bruce at Bannockburn.
One lovey June day, nthe fargone year
of 1929, King Robert lay dying. He call
ed Douglas to his bedside, and told him
that it had been one of the dearest wish
es his heart to go the Holy Land and
recover Jerusalem from the infidels; but
since he wished him to embalm his heart
after his death, and carry it up to the
Holy City and depo it it in the Holy
Sepulcher.
Douglas had the heart Of Bruce EN-,
balmed and enclosed in a silver case, and
wore it on silver chain about his neck.
He set out for Jerusalem, but resolved
first to visit Spain and engage in the
war waged against the Moorish King Of
Grenada. He fell in Andalusia, in battle
Just before his death he threw the silver
casket into the thickest Of the fight, ex-
claiming: "Heart of Bruce, follow thee
or die |"
His dead body was found beside the
casket, and the heart of Bruce was
brought back to Scotland and deposited
in the ivy-clad Abbey Of Melrose.
Douglas was real hero, and few things
more engaging than his exploits were
ever told under the holly and mistletoes
or in the warm Christmas light of the
old Scottish Yule-logs-Hezekiah Butter
worth, in&. Nicholas for February.

WHAT is LOVEi
BY THOMAS PAINE.

"Tis that delightful transport we can feel,
Which painters cannot paint, nor words reveal,
Nor any art we know Of can conceal.
Canst thou describe a sunbeam to the blind?
Or make him feel a shadow with his mind?
so.nether can we by description show
This first of all felicities below.
When happy Love pours magic DER the SOUL
And all our thoughts in sweet delirium roll
When contemplation spreads her rainbow wings
And every hutter some new rapture brings
How sweetly, then, our moments glide away,
And dreams repeat the raptures of the day
We live in ecstacy, to all things kind
For Love can teach moral to the mind.
But are there not some other marks that prove
What is this wonder of the sonl, called Lover
Oh yes, there are but of different kind
The dreadful horrors of a dismal mind
Some jealous fury throws her poisoned dart
And rends in pieces the distracted heart
When Loves tyrant and the soul slave,
No hopes remain to thought but in the grave
In that dark den it sees an end to grief,
And what was once its dread becomes relief.
Whatare the iron chains that hands have wrought
The hardest chains to break are those of thought
Think well of this ye lovers and be kind,
Nor play with torture-or a tortured mind
