Flora Macdonald.

_—

An interesting illustration of how that which in one generation is arrant treason

| . . . becomes in another an heroic myth, is pre-

sented by the erection, on the Isle of Skye, in Scotland, of a monument te Flora Mac- donald. He who reads history bet to glean its romance, cannot fail to remember the significance of her name, and the dramatic incidents in which she became the heroine of the famous Scottish rebellion of ’45. In those days, to be a Jacubite, and even to sympathize with the Pretender Charles Ed- ward, was to risk personal liberty ; to act More than

treme penalty after ‘‘ Butcher William,” Duke of Cumberland, throttled the rebellion on Culloden Moor. Gradually, however, the bitterness against the Jacobites who clung, almost hopelessly to the house of Stuart, softened and faded, until at last Sir Walter Scott, an historical partisan of the Pretender, though an obsequiously loyal subject of George IV., could, with popular applause, publish prose epics of fiction which embalmed the Jacobite chiefs as herces, and Flora Macdonald as a heroine to be worshipped for her courageous trea- son. It was she who, when Charles Ed- ward, defeated at all pints in his rash enterprise, was hiding on the western sea-

board, saved his hfe by embarking with nim on a stormy night among the danger- ous Hebrides, and conducting him to a place of safety. Her resolute heroism fascinated the young prince, albeit he was worn out with the excesses of a dissipated life; and

long afterward, when he had degenerated into a mere drunken sluggard, whenever Flora’s name was mentioned, he always raised his hat in veneration for the Scottish beauty who had preserved his life at the peril of her own. Gruff Dr. Johnson, that ** colossus of cockneys,”’ on his memorable tour to the ‘‘ canny land” which he was always sneering at, visited the Isle of Skye, where Flora Macdonald was still living, now in the ripe prime of womanhood. ‘‘ She is a woman,” says he, in his notes of the journey, ‘‘of middle stature, soft fea- tures,” gentle manners and elegant pre- sence.” Indeed, Flora was far from being one of those ideal heroines who boldly use physical as well as moral exertion in performing notable deeds, and who are strong of body and stout-minded; she was slight and frail, shy and shrinking, inexperienced, a high-bred Highland lassie ; and what she did she achieved by that spirit of self-abnegation, which, on occasion, sometimes shines out and star‘ les the sterner sex in the weak and timid woman. She believed Charles Edward to be her true liege-lord and king, and her proud Highland blood taught her that loyalty was a religion. The reward of thirty thousand pounds for Charles Edward's head, offered by the government, only nerved her the more for her attempt, and she gloried in encountering for him the dangers of a tempestuous island- studded sea, in courting martyrdom, and in risking life itself, that the true monarch might be saved from the hand of the usurper. Flora was taken prisoner after the success of her venture, and when Charles Edward was once more safe in France; and even then, her sincere heroism and loyalty to her belief so out- shone her treason, that the officers of the war-ship in which she was brought to London always stood bareheaded in jher presence, and the rough old British captain showered comforts, in his uncouth way, upon her. She was released, after a short imprisonment, by the Act of Indemnity; Was thereupon lionized to weariness by Jacobite lords and Scottish chiefs ; returned to her native Skye and quietly married her cousin, Macdonald of Kingsborough; lived a long and always a peaceful life, adored by her neighbors and all the peasants round for the many virtues, making, on one occasion a brief visit to our shores; and died in the green old age, leaving behind her five stalwart Highland sons, who fought for King George as loyally as their mother before them had served her crownless prince.
