Theh commenced a honey- moon suchas only lovers shut up, in a jbeautiful, flower-environed fort The lovely character of the beautiful bride won the hearts of all the soldiers at the fort, and she y | reigned a queen among these rough | frontiersmen. One day when the love of the soldier and his wife was at its severest the two, accompanied by the young wife's mother and twenty soldiers, rode out to the hot springs, six miles from the fort to take a bath. While in the 'bath, which was neur the Rio Grande, an Indian's arrow passed over their heads. Then a band of wild Apache Indians rushed down upon them, whcoping and yelling like a band of demons. Several of the soldiers fell dead, pierced with poisoned arrows, and' tbe beautiful bride and her mother dropped in the water, pierc- od "by the cruel weapons of the Apache: With his wife dying be= fore his eyos, Col.

TENDER, Most of our readers are more or less acquainted with the 'glory of Prince Charles Edward, the young Protender; his raising the flag of rebellion in Scotland, bis invasion of England, and subsequent, retreat and defeat, his wanderings and final escape 10 tho Continent. During that episode in Scottish history in which he was the principle figare, many incidents of romantic adven- ture occured of a very interesting character, Among cthers that of the escapeof Margaret, wife of Lord Ogilvy, from Edinburgh Castle, where ghe was imprisoned awaiting ber execution, She was a brave, handsome, ready witted woman, an enthusiastic partisan of the Stuart cause, willing to risk tortune and life to aid in its triumph. She per- suaded hor husband to join the Pre- tenders forges, and rode with him at the head of his clan to the fatal field of Culloden, where she remained holding a spare horse during: the whole of the fight. When the battleended in the utter deteat as well as rout of the Prince's army, her husband leaped upon the spare horso'and escaped, while Lady Ogilvy was taken prisoner. The Government determined to make an example of her to the rest of her sox, whose influence had been very powerfully exerted, in the lost canso she was therefore condemned to be executed six weeks after hor trial at the place where traitors suffer in Edinburgh. Her friends displayed great activity. in trying to obtain a commution of her severe sentenco ; but to every appeal the Government turned a doaf ear, and there appear ed no alternative but that she must suffer death in the very flower of ber youth and beauty. Lady Ogilvy was not so strictly confined in prison but what many gained access to her, and they used this privilege to suground her with comforts, and to try to lighten the burden of captivity. Bat while her trionds were making "uséless efforts to obtain her release she determined to effect it herself, and use as an agent for that purpose a little, ugly, deformed woman, with a peculiar bitch in ber walk, who brought her clean linen every Saturday. As she was leaving the room after one of ber usual visits the captive detained her, saying she bad a very strong de sire to ascertain if she conld walk as she did, would she mind showing her how it was done ? Although very much surprised at the lady entertaining such a whim, tbe old woman readily gave the re- quisite lesson, and then took her de- parture. Diady Ogelvy practiced the step until she thought herself She icated her intention to ber friends, who prepar. ed everything in readiness to aid her flight when once outside the castle. When theold decrepit washerwoman made ber appearance at sun down on the Saturday previous to the Monday fixed fortheexecution Lady Ogilvy Pp iaded her to ch clothes with her: -- h , the Af fl I nation, leaving their wives and ohil- was made. "Now," continu- ranche when Col. Pelton got back |e "Give me your dress, and you take mine." The ex- ed and the sails unfurled, sn embargo was Jaid on all vessels in the harbor. = Search was to be niade for Lady Ogilvy, whe it was understood had embarked on board one of them. The scarch was made but without avail; the lady escaped safely to France. THE BRAVE SOOTOH WIDOW. Everyono in Scotland who had beard his name was in terror of the robber, Red Macdonald. There were many men who lived by pillage and plandor in those days, but none wero 60 groatly feared as he. None had robbed so many, and killed so many of those he robbed. Ho had a band of followers, and with a dozen of these followers he would attack any party he . met upom the unpro- tected roads, and dispoil them of money and valaables. Ile would entor a house at night, bind its inhabitants, and mock them as he feasted, with his men, on the contents of their larders and cellars, and ride cooly away after a while with the plunder in the sacke that bung over their saddles. They were woll known; but none dared to bring them to justice, or at- tack them when they appeared in public, for if they were angered they wero capable of darker deeds still. : However, there lived on a very comfortable farm a certain strongly- built, and very strong-minded old lady, called by all her neighbors the widow Dunmore. She bad taken upon hersolf, upon her husband's death, all the duties of the farm. She had reared her child- ren woll, and given the girls all good marriage portions; and she was now sixty years old, but as hal and vigorous as though she 'had been thirty. Her daughters being married and away, and her sons at the wars-- there were always wars in Scotland in those days--sho lived quite alone in ber farm house. But when Macdonald's dreadfal name was uttered, and his deeds discussed, the old dame used to clinch her fists tightly, draw ber bushy brows down over (her--eyes, and cry. "Out vpon the cowards! If I'd been a man, Red Macdonald would be hanged ere now ! Let him come to me, and I'll show him how he should be mot; and, more if he escapes me, I'll go to the king and demand his life! Afraid of a robber! 1 blush to think of it!" That was the sense of what she said, though it I could write down the words she spoke as she pro- nounced them, none of my readers would know what they meant. * People laughed a little at the old woman's boast, and declared she would change her tune if Red Mac donald ever really came to the farm. It was one bleak Saturday night in winter. The widow had called the maids and the men into the house. place, had given thew all their sup~ per of porridge and battermilk, and bad paid their quarterly wages; re- primanded some, commended others, and laid out her plana for the next week's work, Then she had retired |, 10 bed, baving seen that' all the bars and bolts were right for the night. In the corner of her room was a big, carved oak chest, in which she] kept her money, some silver cups plu host, and put into treasures she had And at every moment she ff the threat, " Oh, Red Mac you'll yemember thi to the king with my tale of thos, aot thou shalt be hanged at last 3 thos deservest; hanged bigh. ber that, Macdonald ; Roem ber that." | Maedonald only" replied by jeers and curses, but at last, goaded into a terrific ruge, he cried out to her, " Wilt.though eo? Then, that thou mayest better perform the journey, * I'll give the a pair of new shoen." And calling one of his men, who was a smith, he badé him. bri 0 New horseshoes that be had with him, and shoe the old woman with iron nails, and stood by when the cruck deed was done, mn the great nails driven into her old feet. " The way to the kings dwelling is rough," he said, as he departed, fo andtiow wilt be fended against it now.' And in a little whils more she beard the robbers driving the caltle away from the sheds, and riding" away with the spoils they had Laken, Once shure that the band was out of the way, terrified servants cropt into the room, and shreiked with horror at thesight they saw; but the old woman never flinchee. "Cease your noise," she cried, " and bring me a wagon, and put me within it ; and if there'is no horse lett, wheel me in it yourselves to the king. He shall hang him high as Haman, for the good of the land or I'll "curse him royal though he be." The men oboyed, and in the gray dawn the wagon rumbled over the rod. Theold women held a flask ofjrunx in her hands, which she tasted now and again to keep herself from faint- ing; and when she came to the king's dwelling she lifted up her voice and called upon him. "James King of Scolland," she cried, come t) mo and see what youn shall see. Come to me and bear .what youn shell hear." King though he was, James obey- ed. He listened to the widow's tale. Often bofore had he heard of Red Macdonald's deeds ; but robbers wore considered rather an unpleasent necessity in those days. Now how- ever, his wrath'avose. He promised the widow Dunmore that the man should bo "punished in kind," and sent his own physician to give to her what belp he could. ~ Bhe was a brave old woman, and bore what was to be dene well, and racoverod in time; but, meanwbhi'e Red Macdonald and twelve of his™ men were taken, brought to prison, and sentenced to have their feet shod with Iron shoes and nails, and so be carried about the city three days before they were put to death. All this was done. Rod Macdonald was beheaded and his twelve men were hanged; and. the thirteen bodies swung in the wind on gibbets 1n-the high 5 oy a i long day, and after this Time " open robberies were diligently suppressed throughout Scotland." And all this haps re-| pened in the yesr 1433, when Jamesthe First was King of Scotland.
