He knew they couldn't stop him, for
that had been tried before. When his

Furthermore, Just to show his fear

lighthouse keeper. Mr. Hughes made
his money in Liverpool, but has sum-

History of the Kingdom.
MANY years before these enligh.-
ened days, during that period of time
which may truly be called the dark
ages of the Calf, when rats and rab-
bits enjoyed undisputed possession of
It, and man had not yet sought a resi-
dence on its barren shores. a circum-
stance occurred which caused a grea:
sensation among the Inhabitants OF
the little village which crowns the op-
posite shore. The portly matrons o.
this retired hamlet were reused from
their accustomed state of torpor By
the unusual appearance of a human:
figure upon the highest summit of the
neighboring isle, apparently engaged
in some laborious EN- ployment
"Bushell, for such was the name O:
this solitary being, was the possessor OF
a small domain on the neighborine
coast of Ireland. Close to his little
patrimony lay. the princely castle OF
the great O'Neil, whose only sister had
been the object of Bushels childish
affections, and was the sole possessor
Of his more matured devotion. With
ONeti~he had always lived on terms
sof-tho greatest friendship P, now join
ing in the fatigues of the chase. now
uniting in the skillful navigation OF
the wintry seas. But, no sooner. di

friends affection, than all their init.
macy was destroyed:
At first he contented himself with
withdrawing from his society and for.
bidding him to/approach his castle
but when he found his precautions in
sufficient, that the lovers still met. and
that the affection of Bushell was re-
turned, he commenced a series of per
secutions,: which in those days were
sufficient to drive Bushell from his
peaceful home, to become an outcasi
from the haunts Of men. Having thus
removed the object of her affections. he
hoped that his sister would soon cease

months had elapsed, and Mary's sad.
ness still remained unchanged, he de.

ar? soon discovered that the inter.
course, though rendered more difficult
by his tyranny, was not destroyed. hui
that Bushell was still lurking about The
neighborhood. and found means oi
communication with his sister,
Bushell Rescues His Sweetheart.
'1ncensed at this discovery, he com.
manded her to prepare to embark with
him in few days for a distant con.
vent, there to bid adieu to the van
tiles Of the world, and conceal her er-
rors under the sanctity of the veil
intelligence of this cruel determine
ton was quickly conveyed to the out
lawed Bushell, who resolved upon thu
bold design OF attacking the vessel OF
O'Neil and rescuing his beloved Mary
from the horrors OF a living tomb
The design once formed, was quickly
executed, and calling together q few
