HAVELOCK,
Tie sleeps the sleep of glory, and for him
Stern hearts are sad, and manly eyes are dim ; W hat though the tardy title that they gave
To grace the warrior, found him in his grave ; The loss was ours—not his; our Havelock needs No vulgar blazon for his deathless deeds.
No plaudits loud, no faint praise trimly turned Could make or mar the glory he had earned : The love of England is a nobler prize
Than Senates can decree or Kings devise ;
And England’s grief a statlier monument
Than wealth ean build, or heraldry invent.
Yes, England loved this warrior, for she felt That in his soul true English virtue dwelt. Steadfast, yet ardent, prompt but wary, brave To height of daring, yet not daring’s slave ; Pious as valiant, hopeful mid despait ; Dauntless in danger, vehement in prayer : Alike in peace or war, one path he trod,
His law was Duty, and his guide was Gop.
Through arduous struggles and with toil severe, Ilis friendless virtue ploughed its slow career, Ile could not match in purse the carpet lords Of purchased epaulettes, and bauble swords ; Merit, not wealth, when manhood’s prime was past, Raised the born leader to command at last; And with command came glory. Why recall What lives and burns within the hearts of all? We all remember how he rose—a star—
On the thiek midnight of that dreadful war, Roll’d back the tide of ruin, and restored
The poise of Empire with his single sword.
We all remember how through India’s plains, Seorch’d by fierce suns, or drenched by tropic rains, O’er steamy swamps by torrid skies o’er-arched, Dauntless and swift, the heroie bandfal marched. No need to count their triumphs, none to tell
Of cursed Cawnpore, and its hideous well ;
Of Lucknow’s fate, that trembled on a thread,
Of the fierce carnage, and the giorious dead ; When the close battery’s tempest surged and sung, And through a lane of fire the avengers sprung, Spent, but victorious—and the glorious shout
For Lucknow’s rescue seared the miscreant rout— Yes, they were saved, but at what deadly cost! The ransom’d live; but what a ransom’s lost !
His brain outwearied and his heart o’erfraught, The avenger sinks beside the work he wrought.
He lived to save; and, having saved, bow'd down Beneath the burden of his great renown ;
Leaving to us the treasure of his fame,
A noble memory, and a stainless name.

THE RELIEF OF LUCKNOW.
Oh, that last day in Lucknow fort! We knew that it was the last,
That the enemy’s lines crept surely on, And the end was coming fast.
To yield to that foe was worse than death, And the inen and we all werked dn;
It was one day more of smoke and roar, And then it would all be done.
There was one of us, a corporal’s wife, A fair, young, gentle thing, Wasted with fever in the siege, And ber mind was wandering. She lay on the ground, in her Scottish plaid, And I took her liead on my knee, When my father comes hame frae the pleugh, ‘* Oli! then please wauken me.”’
9
She slept like a child on her father’s floor In the fleeking of woodbine-shade,
W hen the house-dog sprawls by the open door, Aad the mother’s wheel is staid.
lt was smoke and roar and powder-stench, And hopeless waiting for death ; And tie soldier’s wife, like a full-tired child, Seemed scarce to draw her breath. I sank to sleep; and J] had my dream Of an English village-lane, And wall and garden ;—but one wild scream Brought me bick to the roar again. There Jessie Brown stood listening Till a sudden gladmess broke All over her face, and she caught my hand And drew me near, as she spoke :— The Hielanders! Oh! dinna ye hear The slogan far awa? The MeGregor’s? Oh! I ken it weel ; lt’s the grandest 0’ them a’! Ged bless thae bonny Hiclanders ! We're sayed! we're saved!’’ she cried; And fell on her knees; and thanks to God Flowed forth like a full flood-tide. Along the battery-line her ery Had fallen among the men,
And they started hack ;—they were there to die ;
But was life so near them, then? They listened fer life; the rattling fire Far off, and the far off roar, Were all; and the eolone! shook his head, And they turned to their guns once more, But Jessic said, «* The slogan’s done ; But winna ye hear it noo, The Campbeils are comin’? It's no a dream ; Our suceors hae broken through !”’ We heard the roar and the rattle afar, But the pipes we could not hear; So the men plied their work of hopeless war, And knew that the end wag near. It was not long ere it made its way,— A shrilling, ceaseless sound : It was no neise from the strife afar, Or the sappers under ground. It was the pipes of the Highlanders! And now they played Auld Lang Syne; It came to our men like the voice of Ged, And they shouted along the line.
And they wept and shook one another’s hands, And the women sobbed in a crowd;
And every one knelt down where he stood, And we all thanked God aloud.
That happy time, when we welcomed them, Our men put Jessie first ;
And the general gave her his hand, and cheers Like a storm froin the soldiers burst.
And the pipers’ ribbons and tartans streamed, Marching round and round our line ;
And our joyful cheers were broken with tears
As the pipers played Au/d Lang Syne

LITERATURE AND NEWS,

LYNDON HALL. ( Concluded.) IN SEVEN CHAPTERS, CHAPTER THE SEVENTR.
The next day Lyndon ‘all was in confusion. Kdmand nmssing,—not at home all night; Lucy flown; Norah like a ghost ; Gregory seen stealing about the place in a mysterious and burgiarious fashion,—all these wild reports met Colonel Lyndon as he descended to the breakfust-room, where Launcelot Thorold, agitated and abasbed, was the only one to greet him. Norah had not yet come down, It was with great efforts that she came at all, for she was painfully ill.
“ What does this mean ?” said the Colonel, angrily.“ Is all the house-hold in league to bewilder me? Do you anderstand it, Mr, Thorold? Where are your brother and sister? Where, too, is Norah? What” (an uotranslatable expletive) “ is the meaning of all this, sir 2”
“ I do not know where my brother is,” replied Launcelot. “He has not been at home all night. My sister, I grieve to say ” He hesitated.
« Well, sir, what? Speak, Mr. Thorold? Your sister? The old Colonel looked stern, pulled up his stock, and scowied, as if Launcelot had been the cause of it all.
My sister ” begun Launcelot. Bat here be was interrupted by a servaat bringing ia a small scented note, written in violet ink.
“If you please, sir, this is for you,” said the man. “Justine, Miss Thorold’s maid, gave it me. Miss Thorold left it for you on the pineushion,”’
The Colonel tore it open,
“ My dear Uncle,” it began—* for so I may soon hope to address you—at last, my happiness is at hand. Your nephew Gregory has, at last, uaderstood that poor little Norah did not love him; no fault of hers, dear child: she did her best to obey you; but hearts are sometimes disobedieut, avd his has followed the—shall I say it ¢—first impulse ef our introduction: he has loved me instead. This may accouut to you, dear unele, for much which, at the time, yoa misunderstood, but in whieh L could not set you right, or enlighten you. To avoid unpleasantuess to you and others, dear Gregory and I have decided on being married privately, away from Lyndon. When assured of your approbation about which, however, I have no kind of doubt—we shall retury toask your blessing and recognition, from your ex- pressed kind feeling for me, [ am sure that you will be pleased at my happiness in being made dear Gregory's wile. For Norah, i dare say she will find a husband nearer to her taste, and more similar in nature; and perbaps ‘the two families will be even more closely united yet. Ask Edmund, dear uncle, where his heart is gone to; for it hasa@ chasse aux ceurs lately at Lyudon. i embrace you heartily. When Gregory and Lcome home to the Moat, L shall be very near you, and I shall hope to see you often.
“ Your affectiouate niece, Lucy.
“ P.S.—T enclose a note which dear Gregory has ju-t given me for you. Adiew!—L, T.” | Gregory's note was shorter, and more to the point. It ‘ran thus:
Dear Sir,—My eause is lost. Te searching among the papers which my father left sealed up it bis lawyer's han Js, we found —not a certificate of his marriage, but a confession, uvder his own hand and seal, which has left mea beggar, | and the deciared illegitimate sun of a Nubian slaye. | * Yours truly,
Gurgory Lyxpor.
The reason of his marriage with Zsucy was clear now, Few persons weuld-have ised the C.lonel alter”
* she said, had read Lucy’s insolent and Gregory’s defiant letter. Tfis
| self:possession vanished. Based on pride. not on self-control,
lit could not bear so rule a shack as this. His military | bearing broke down, as if it had been a pasteboard mannikin paraded before the world. He stormed, he swore, he raved and raged, and called Lucy naaghty names, and threatened to shoot Gregory through the head, and insulted Launeelot, ‘and abused Norah in really gross language, and said that if | Edmund came near the ka!l again he-would have bim horse. | whipped by his groom. In short, he was a wild, mouthing madman, much too oceupied with his own disappointment te | feel any thankfulness at Norah’s eseape, or at his own, [8 (did not remember this, nor think how he would have f-lt, |hai Norah been marricd before the crash and exposure came. |He only remembered that his bewitching mistress had | betrayed ‘him, and that she had beea deceiving and laughing ‘at him during the time of her sweetest blandishments. Poor | starched Colonel, it was a rare fall for bis dignity!
| A this moment of supreme anger little Norsh stole into {the room, deathly pale and broken, but bearing up in the | wonderful way proper to frail little women, who support trials which would destroy the robust. The sight of her renewed the Colonel’s passion. He advance! t» her menacingly, his hand uplified. That gesture, and Norah’s patient, timid, half-crouching attitude revealed a family secret to Launcelot. It seemed no new thing to the girl to |have her father’s hand turned against her; indeed, it was <o usual, that she neither resented nor wondered at it. But | Launce started forward aud drew her hastily to his side, holding her, quite unconscious of appearances, with his left arm round her waist while prepared to defend her with his right, even against her father.
The nearest approach to love which Norah had ever felt ‘was then, when Launcelot Thorold took her on his arm. It }was the first time in her life that she had ever known the
real protection of aman —that protection of superior strength which is so sweet to women to receive. Her father had | beaten and subdued her into mechanica} submission ; Gregory ‘had overwhelmed her with his passion and overeome her by ithe force of his love; young Edmund had wor-hipped aad |reverenced her; but-no one had ever before protected her, | no one had mage her feel her weakness a claim to aid and i care, If Launecelot had read her heart at this moment, | perhaps he, too, would have mistaken and hoped.
Tre Colonel baffled in his assault on Norah, tarned again -t | Launcelot, aed a painful and undignified scene was the ‘result ; when in the midst of their highest altercation a small | knot of men, bearing a body in the inidst, was seen crossing | the perk. Both Launeelot and Norah were struck with the isame Yoreboding. | Stay here—you are safe,” whispered Lauace, rushing | from the room, judging correetly that the Colouel’s atrention | would be diverted, and that Norah was therefore left ir no peril.
She saw him cross the lawn, and moet the men. Put one of'them, the heed gamekeeper, stept forward and spoke to ‘him, laying bis broad hand on hisarm in the honest equality »of sympathy. Launce thrust him aside, hastily but pot jungently ; and then she beard an agonised ery, as he recog- niscd his fair young brother with a deep wound op his
