I mindit was but yesterday—
Tne sun was dim, the air was chill;
Below the town, below the hill,
The sails ofmy son’s ship did fill—
My Jacob, who was cast away.
He said, “God keep you, mother dear,"
But did not turn to kiss his Wife;
They had some foolish, idle strife;
Her tongue was like 'a two-edged knife,
And new“ proud as any peer.
Howbelt that night I took no note
0! sea nor sky, fdr all was drear;
I marked not that the hills looked near.
Nor that the moon. though curved and clear,
Through curd-like send did drive and fioat,
For with my darling went theJoy
Of autumn woods and meadows brown ;
I came to hate the little town;
It seemed as if the sun went down
. ‘ With him, my only darling boy.
It was the middle of the night.
The wind it shifted west- by-aouth :
It piled up high the harbor mouth:
The marshes, black with summer drouth,
Were all abroad with sea-foam white. ,,
It was the middle of the night—
The sea upon the garden lea t.
And my son's wife in quiet ept, ~‘,
. And I, his mother, waked and wept,
When 10! there cents a sudden light.
Andthere he stood! his seaman's dress
All wet and dripping seemed to be; '
The pale blue fires of the sea
Dripped from his garment constantly—
I could not speak through cowsrduess.
.\. ~
“I come through night and storm." he said:
"Though storm and night and death,"’3aid be,
“To kiss my wife, ifso be _
That strife still holds ’twixt her and me,
For all beyond is Peace,” be said.
“The sea is His, and He who sent
The wind and wave can soothe their strife;
And briefandvloolish is our life.” ‘
.He stooped and kissed his sleeping wife,
Then sighed, and, like a dream,‘he went.
.Now, when my darling kissed not me.
But hen—his‘wlfe—wh'o did not wake,
My heart within me seemed to break:
I swore a vow! nor thenceforth spake
of what my clearer eyes did see.
- And when the slow weeks brought him not,
Somehow we spoke of aught beside:
For she—her hope upheld her pride:
And l—in me all hope had died,
And my son passed as if forgot.
It was about the next spring-tide,
She piped and faded where she stood,
Yet spake no wind of ill or good:
~ She had tné mm, cold Edwards blood
In all her veins,—and so she died.
_ One time I thought, before she passed,
. To give her peace, but ere I spake
Methonght, “He will be first to break
The news in Heaven,” and for his sake
I held mine back until the last.
And here I sit, nor care to roam;
I only wait to hear his call; .
I doubt not that this day next fall,‘
Shall see me sic in port; where all
And every ship a? last comes home.

THE TRUST IN TWIN-TREE LANE.
At midnight between the 9th 'and 10th of
Me , 18— (it is less than thirty-five years
ago , there occurred a meeting which,
whether for the incongruity ofils constituent
elements, the Mealties with which it was
encompassed, its gloom and mystery, or its
actual purpose. has to thebesl of the writer's
belief, no parallel in social history. "
During the period that has since * .sed,
many minor particulars have come - ght,
and en plied the materials. for as Circum-
laniia ' arrative of this singular trans-
action as the most curious inquirer could
desire. ' 1 . _
0n the' v‘euing ofthe 8lh of May, that is,
the day preceding the incident about to be
related, the family of Mr. NewtonHorsfall,
' of Cowling Priors, Herts, noticed sométhing
unusual in that gentleman's demeanor.
Mr. Horsfall was the representative of an
old and loyal connly famil .' Though of
somewhat quiet and retiring abits, he was
an active county magistrate, and, the pre—.
vious year, be had served the ofilce of high
sheriff. Aged, at this period. about forty-
eight, he had married seven years before a
lady twenty years his junior, by whom he
had a son and daughter. -
At dinner, on the day above mentioned,
Mr. Horsfall’s disturbance seemed to in-
crease, He are but little, was silent and ab-
stracted, and, contrary to his wont, appear-
red relieved when his wife’s departure left
him to his own meditations. He'moved
restlessly in his chair, got up and paced the
roo'm,and, finally, sitting down at a bureau
that stood in a corner ofthe room, fell to ex.
amlnjng some papers be selected from its
contents. These be divided into two por-
tions, one of which he tore up to the
minutes! particles, the other he placed under
seal and restored toils former place. It was
known at an after period that he had'also
opened and re erased his will.
_ This done, e rested his head on both
hands and resumed his anxious meditations.
Sudden] he spoke aloud.
“I wi 1—- es, I will do lt. Yes, come
‘ .wbatmay, t ereproacb of being absent shall
not attach alone to me. Let danger, let what
is worse, ridicule, attend this-proceeding. I
am ofa race that keep their faith,'and—”
“Newton 1” said a gentle vmce, and a
white band glistened on his shoulder.- “I
have not been ’ our wife for seven years,”
resumed Mrs. orsfall, “without learning to
read your face. You have a trouble, dear ;
the first, I hope and believe, you have not
permitted me to share. Forgive my eaves-
dropping. My anxiety was intolerable.
What has happened 1’”
Mr. Horsfall smiled. _ _
“Happened, my love 1’ Nothing, nothing
in the world. T e worst is—tbe very worst
is, that—that—I must leave you for some
thirty-six hours, and that, unfortunately,
this very night.” .
“To-night l” . _ ~
“I understand your consternation, m
dear,” said her husband, trying to spea
lightly ; “we have people to dinner to—mor-
row, and unless they would consent to wait
till six in the morning, my 'Lucy must be
host and hostess 100.”
“0 Newton, it is impossible l”
“TI I"
“But will you tell me nothing more 1”
“Every word, dear, but not now."
“Newton, I have a petition to make to

eak it, love.”
'I‘Eike me with you.” . ..
“Not if—ahem—my dear, it is impossible,”
said the magistrate. ‘ .“You must remain to
receive our friends. and assure them that
nothing short of business that would not
brook an hour’s delay Icompelled me to be
absent from my post. Now, if you love me,
not another question. Ring the bell, like a
sensible woman, and order the carriage at
“Four in the morning 9" ejaculated Mrs.
Horsfall. faintly, and burst into tears.
- “The idea is terrible,” said the magistrate,
smiling - “but. take courage. Duty calls.”
“Ma go with you part of the way i”
“To ondon ? Certainly, if you wish it..
All'the way."
It was not in his very gentlest accent
that Jacob Gould, the coacbmau, acquainte
his pampered horses with the astounding
fact that they were required to turn out or
their comfortable nests, as he himself had
done, at four in the morning. As for Mr.
Horsfall himself, now that lie-bad apparent-
ly resolved upon his course of action, he
grew more. cheerful and jestcd ga ly with
his wife as he put her into the carriage.
- ' At the top of Regent Street he ate

the carriage and. beckoned to a bee

‘ “God bless you, my love i” he cried, lean-
ing from the window ; and, adding a word
ofdirection to the driver, was jolted away.

asked Mrs. Horsfall.
“Whyto' seller, Piccadilly, ’m,” retorted
Robert, with a slight cough, meant to inti
male that traveling so early did not agree
with him. ‘
“I will alight here also,” said Mrs. Hors-
fall. “Let the esrrin she put up for an hour
or two. You and acob get some, break-
fast, then return home, and see that the
letters I have left he delivered immediately.
I shall not be back until tomorrow with

“Place where the Bri

“Drive to the Elephant and Castle,” said
Mrs. Horsfull, “and be quick." .
“Is there a Bri hton coach about to
start ?” Mrs. Hora all inquired, eagerly, us

osing, indeed, be bad‘takenrtiiat road.

ceeded in persuading herself that her dis-
obedience was pardonable. and preferable,
whatever its-consequence, lo the anxiety
she would have bad to endure ; for that her
husband was bound on an expedition of
danger, she entertained no manner of doubt.
It was a period of discontent, and much
uneasiness. Fr0m causes not necessary
here to recall; the working classes in several
counties had .allowed themselves to be
moved to serious outrage. Incendiarism
was the order of the day or night, and it was
no uncommon thing to see the horizon lit up
in twenly places with lhe fires that guilty
bands bad kindled. Everywhere there was
avague apprehension of a visit il'om lhe
“mob," which noun of multitude was sup-
posed to be prowling about, burning and
pillaging the .housee‘ of the rich, and, in
more than one instance,justifying the fedr'.
Mrs. Horsfall trembled as it occurred to her
that her husband’s excursion was con-
necled with the rep‘rossionof the‘ao dis-
turbances. '
She'bsd resolved upon her course of
action; and, accordingly, quilted the coach
at.a.small hotel at the very entrance of
Brighton, at-which most of the coaches
halted for a moment. Here she Obtained an
sparlment facing the road, and, shrouded
in the curtains, set herself to scrutinize the
passengers of each vehicle, as they succes-
sively arrived. _ '
The vigil was tedious, but. at six o'clock,
her patience was rewarded. As the Red
Rover dashed up to the door, the familiar
disc was discernible at the coachmun’s
s e.
Mrs: Horsfall had concluded that he
would certainly go on to Castle Square, and
had prepared herself to step into a fly, and

his valise, and entered the some modest
hotel in which his wife had already taken

fall,bv skillful inquiry. contrived lo learn

“ o_tlle—” Mrs. Horsfsll had some difil—
cully in checking her ejaculation of sur-
prise. '
But the geulleman would return at eleven ;
only the pqrter was not to go to bed, as be
was going out again, and lnight be absent
some hours. -
Mrs. Horsfall’s heart gave a lhrob,
“That is it, then,” she murmured, and
sank into trembling meditation. In this
condition we must leave her, and repair to
another part of the country.
Doctor 8., who at this time presided over
an. important inland diocese, and was in the
prime of intellectual, if not physical life, was
a man who never spared himself in his Mas--
ter’s service. It was therefore an unmis-
takable token of overtaxed energies, when
the bishop, sinking into his chair on the 7g
of Ma .‘r, acknowledged that a brief resp
from labor would not be unacceplable to
him. .His wife_caugbt at the idea. For the
last few days, a ‘sort of harassed look, not
habitual with him, had attracted her atten-
tion. He wanted rest. ,
“How I wish, my dear," said Mrs. S., “that
you could escape, it it were but four or five
days, from all hard work i Now I really
think that, with the assistance you can com-
mand, and—” ' .
4‘My dear, you anticipate my thought,"
the good bishop replied. “Nothing Would
recruit me more effectually than fair
lbree days’ holiday, exclusive of the trav-
eling; a little unfatiguiug journey, some
whither—say towards the sea. I ought, yes,
certainly, I ought to do it," he added, half
to himself. .
“That you ought i” exclaimed his wife,
triumphantly. “I shall order William to
prepare your things, so that, if you please,
we can lfive this very day.” - ,
" Gent .1 enily, my dear,” said ’fhc
bishop. “ ‘ e l’ na , nay; I must not take
all my comforts wit me, and expectlo find
health id boot. It is enough that I find
rest, and—and change. I shall make my‘ '
little expedition entirely alone.”
‘ “Alone l” echoed Mrs. S. “My dear, I
shall be so nervous.” . , -
“On behalf of which of us. my love 1’” in-
quired the bishop, laughing. “Come, come,
the dangers of the big ways are reduced to
a minimum. .As regards the perils of damp
sheets and doubtful fare, I can make your
mind easy. sIshall ask the hospitality of
my cousin, Anna Meadows, at their pretty
placenear Brighton, and occupy the bach-'
elor’s room.”
“At least you will take Charles-f”
(Charles was the bishop’s nephew,. his
chaplain and secretary.) . ' . .
The bishop hesitated. It. was clear he
purposed to have gone alone, but his Wife's
tone of entrealy prevailed. Moreover, he
was very fond of his nephew.
"Well, well, Charles shall go.”
They set off that day, and the next, May
the 8th, saw them, to the delight of their
amiable host and hostess, comfortably estab-
lished at Parkhurst Dene. Mrs. Meadows,
was, indeed, a litllp disappointed next
morning, when her right reverend guest an-
nounced, with some reluctance, that a busi-
ness engagement of a ressing nalure would
compel him to absent- imself for that even-
ing and nigbl, but ,. that he would return
early on the morrow. Except that his des-
tination was Brighton, the bishop added no
further particulars, and, the distance being
but eight miles, the carriage was not ordered
till four o’clock, at which time, accompanied
by his nephew, he took his departure. .He
had made a feeble effort to shake off this
faithful companion, but Charles bad laugh-
iugly reminded him of the plomise his aunt
had exacted from him, not to lose sight of
the bishop till the latter returned in safety.
So the prelale had given way.
During the drive, their convarsalion
turned upon the state of the agricultural
districts. There had been some threaten-
ing of disturbance, ‘and several incendiary
fires visible from Brighton ; but the
presence of a large cavalry force at the,
latter place kept the fashionable folks en-
tirely at their case as regarded a visit from
the “mob." . .
\Afler passing through the village of Port-
slade, the bishop began to scrutinize the
locality with keen interest. ,
“Here are spots.” be observed, “in which
escape or concealmeutwouild not be difficult
for these misguided persons, should these
ample rick-yards tempt them to fresh crime.
We are approaching a still more broken—-
may friend,” added the bishop, taking the
a vantage of the carriage walkin up a bill
to accent a rustic who was at ban , “do you
know Coldstone Botlom—and—and Twin-
Tree Lane I” .
“1‘ ’low I do,” said the man, “whereby I’ve
lived at Coldstone better nor twenty years.
T'other’s' lo the left, handy.”
For the remainder of the drive the bishop
was silent and meditative. The were quick-
l in Bri hton, When the his op drove to
the York otel, dismissed the carriage and
ordered apartments. '. - .
“ We will dine together, Charles, at
seven," he said to his nephew; “the evening
is at our disposal, for my work, which may
possi ly detain me to a lale hour, admits of
no assistance or interference.” ' ,
There was an emphasis on the latter
words lhaffOrbade remonstrauce. But the
Reverend Charles Lileb'en was sensible of
an undefined anxiety which induced him to
resolve that, happen what would,he must
not let his honored relative wander far from
his sight. It was a little before eleven when
the bishop, suddenly rising, put on his great
coal, took his but and stick, and affectionate-
ly pressing his nephew’s hand, walked
quickly forth alone. . '
That night, the 9th of May, ,was a festival
one at Brighton. A gentleman of the high-
est distinction,,in his line, was receiving the
compliment of what might be justly called
a “public” dinner, inasmuch as it was held
at the Clenchcd Fists, Birdcage Lane, North
Street, and was open to any gentleman in-
terested in the matter to the amount of three-
aud—sixpence, liquors not included. -
It was well attended, for Mr. William
Beekes. far better known as the “Bradford
Dum ling,” retired champion of England;
wast e son of a much respected yeoman
farmer in the vicinity, and, though making
Bradford the city of his adoption, had never
forgotten the peaceful village that gave him
birth. Tbehelids be bad punched in youth
were. like his own, lino-ed with gray—for
the Dumpling had timid the (for the ring)
patriarchal ago of forly-five,——but his visits
4
versary of the last
fessional career.
The festivities were prolonged toalate
hour. At that disturbed period, it was felt
that the penal loyal toasts should be re-
ceived With double honors, if not with
before the chairman arrived at the great
toast of the evening.
.A song (patriotic), and anolher (pugilislic),
with choruses to both, wound up the even-
ing, when, as closing lime approached, it
was proposed to escort lhe ex-champion to
his private residence in Burr Alley, West
Street, give him three cheers, and dismiss
him_to his slumbers. But to this little at
ienlion_ the Dumpling opposed a strenuous
opposition. He preferred walking home
quietly, alone and unrecognized,—iudeed,
he was not going home, leaslwuys not yet,
He had an engagement beyond t 'e town,
Patcbam way,‘and it was near 11 n the
tune. . To the playful comment 0 one of
his friends that it was a' “rum start," the
Dumpling increl responded with a wok.
To another, a liti e fluttered with drink, who
affectionately insisted upon hearing him
company whithersoever he was bound, the
Dumpling offered just sufiicient personal
violence to disable him from doing anythin
of the_sort, and, having at lflgth shaken 0
his friends, strode away. It was at this
time nearly half-past eleven.
mending ‘the gallant Hussar regiment at
that time occupying Brighton lfirracks, had
dined at the mess. The circumstance was
not of frequent occurrence, the colonelbl-ing
a married man, and having a house in
Brunswick Square. During the meal a let-
ter,bearing-the police official seal, was de-
livered to him. The colonel read it wilh a
serious look, but not till later in the evening
did he communicate the contents to the
officers present. It seemed that the-author.
ilies had been warned of the probability of
a meeting of the chief promoters of discon-
3enl, at some spot near Brighton. and, fear-
.ing thst the ordinary civil force might
prove insufficientjo effect the capture, the
magislrates requested that a small mil'iary
delachment- might be held in‘ readiness to
act in case of need. - '
by issuing the necessary directions, and
added that he should-himself sleep in the
barracks that night, although forthe next
two hours, at least, he must unavoidably be
absent. . .
“Perhaps,” he added smiling, as hé threw
on a cloak and‘lit his cigar, “I may bring
back some information Of the enemy’s
movements. Iain not oinginlolhe town.”
“Permit me, sir,” sa' the young Adjutant,
‘to recommend you not to go entirely un-
armed. Your face is known. and if these
lurkiu rascals are in earnest—" ,
“We 1, well, lend me your pistols, Bair ,"
said the colonel, and, thrusting them into
his pocket, wul away.
The clock .31 eleven as the sentry at
the gate saw the colonel sudden] quit the
high-road, and strike across t e rising
grounds in the rear of the barracks.
Another event of some interest had eig-
nalizcd this especial evening, the 91b of Ms ,
at Brighton. . That admirablecomedian, r.
L., had wound up a starring engagement of
six nighls, with a benefit that attracted
nearly all the play- ing world of that gay
watering place. e had acted in "use
pieces with llusurpassable humor, marked.
however, as the night drew on,wiih a basic
and excitement unusual with him,and which
did not escape the notice of his fellow per-
formers. He was perpeludlly glancing al
his watch, fell into quite a passion at a tri-
fling delay between the second and last
pieces; ordered a fly to be wailing-at the
stage door, and, the moment the curtain
fell (it was then full half past eleven), threw
himself dressed as be was, into the vehicle,
and- called out “Patchaml quick l” drove
furiously away, disregarding the very treas-
urer, who with his hands ibll of notes and
gold, stood prepared to settle accounts witlt
the fortunate star, in order that the latter
might start, as he: proposed, early on illo'
morrow. -

lakes a by-path on the right, leading in the
direction of Patcbam, would, thirty years
ago, have traced the windings of livery
pretty lane, bordered on the one hand by
beech and ‘chestnut trees, on the other
by a high bank, beyond which cornfields
stretched away'in the direction of the Dyke
downs. Half-way down the lane the path,
widening for' a few yards, left room for a
‘rude seat, which was under the immediate,
shelter and protection of two large beech
trees, so precisely similar in shape and size,
as to have imparted to the path in question
the tille of Twin-Tree Lane. It was at the
iimC of which we speak, a sequestered place
enough,_aud was approachable alike from
the high-road -lbrougb Patcham, and from
that which crosses the Old Church bill.
(It was a few minutes only short of mid-
night, on the eventful 9th of May, that a
lady muffled in a cloak and hood, stopped
her carriage at the entrance of Patcbam, and
desiring the driver to await her return,
struck across lhe fields to the left. The
night was fair and still ; with occasional
bursls of radiance, as the moon struggled
from one blue-black cloudbank to another.
. Whenever this occurred the lonely wan-
derer strained her eyes to the utmost, as if in
search of sonic receding object. but seem-
ingly in vain. ' ' '
last she pause
t
s
fibank Heaven-l” she exclaimed, clasp-
ing her hands in real thankfulness. “That
is his pipe! I should know it among a
thousand. He must be close before me.’
, In effect she fancied she could discern her
husband’s fOrm not far in advance. and,
shrinking closer into the shadow of the
d, and gave a.~ sudden
rhedge. she continued to follow him. At the
mouth of what was apparently a wooded
lane the guiding shape suddenly disappear-
ed ! Mrs. Horsfall hurried forward, and,
pausing to listen, thought she could now
hear both the step and voice of her husband.
He was passing up~the lane, evidently with
one or more persons, but with little thought
of dun er, for she heard his frank laugh ring
throng the quiet air. * . .
“If the should have betrayed him into
some am nah i” thought the anxious wife,
"He is sO unsuspecting l” ,
The party ahead seemed to make a sudden
halt. Insiinctively Mrs. Horsfall shrank
toward the border of trees, and, in doing so,
almost «came in contact with. a man who
was stepping from them. Fortunately, she
did not cry out, and the manner, unmis-
takably gentlemanly, in which the stranger
tendered his apologies, at once disarmed her
fears. He loo ed at her, however, with 'a
little astonismnent, hesitated, then, as if a
thought hl‘slruck him, said,— .
“Is it posslble—pray forgive me—that we
are here on a similar errand ? My name is
Linebam, Charles Lineham, a minister of
the church.”
“Mine is Horsfall," said the lady, quickly.
“1—1 am in some anxiety about my husband,
who is just before us, in ~company with I
know not what dangerous and desperate
men. 0, what'sball we do 9”
, “For the inofi'eusive Character of one, at
least, of his companions, I am prepared to
answer," said the bong clergymhn, wilh a
smile. “It is the ishop of L., my uncle.”

are of r. orsfall’s. I fear' ,1. am trans-
gressiug his wishes in following him thus
closely." ' .
“Hark i There are more voices l” ex-
claimed Mrs. Horsfull. “They seem raised
in anger.”
“In amusement. rather, if I mistake not,"
said Mr. Lineham. “But come ; ifyou will
accept my guidance, you shall see what is
passing. They have assembled under those
two large trees. Will you, permit me to
show you the way 1"
Mrs; Horsfall assented. In less than ten
minutes they had reached the point indi-
cated by Mr. Lineham. A bright stream of
moonlight was pouring right into the recess
canopied by the twin trees, and made the
singular Iparty therein assembled dislinclly
visible. t was composed of five individuals,
seated on the curved bench, engaged in
earnest and animated discussion. In the
center might be recognized the reverend and
stately form of the Bisho of L., immediately
on whose right set the rsdford Dumpling,
supported in his turn by Mr.Newlon Hor'sfall,
of Cowling Priors, Herls. 0n the left of the
prelulc might be seen the familiar, mirib-
awakening lineuments of Mr. L., the cele-
brated low comedian. flanked by the com-
manding presence of Colonel Reginald Spur-
ricr, of the —th Hussars.
