There is alway something ! melancholy ami romantic in the posi i lion of the hist adherents to a forlorn 1 cause, and it is diihcult to say why the '. last 'ameroitians should be ob jects of less interest than the last Jacobins.

A spirited ioet has reproached Charles with ingratitude to the Scotch, who loved him, but it must be owned that th Covenanters dissembled their love with great success. From the day of the humiliation of Charles, the friends of the Covenant were split off from each other in proportion to the am. out of practical political insight on the one hand, ami of religious cer tainty and republican fervor on the other. There were engagers ami non engagors. resol utioners. or friends of Charles II and remonstrants against him. Then the remonstrants split off among themselves at Sanquhar, as we i have seen, and the real romance of the covenant began. Surely all honor is j due to the remnant that lived in marsh es, on hill-tops, in eaves in hollows of the rocks behind linns, or water falls, in haunted farm houses. Tiie hierarchy of their visions, the Covenant made manifest, was impossible indeed, but it had the value of all pure ideals. With out the leaven of the "hill folk," and the constant persecution they endured. fore he became fully satisfied of his mistake. This part of the story is in itself peculiar, but thu sequel is still more strange; for hardly had the train reached the end of another mile when the whistle again sounded'down brakes.' an. I again the train was brought to a .- tan l. Inquiry elicited the same story from the engineer, ami the same tlegree of positi v.-i.ess characterized his asser tion ; attempts were made to induce him to proceed, but he would not doso until the road was examined some dis tance back. This was finally agreed to, and, con trary to all expectation, the searchers discovered that this time the engineer was right, the train had run over and killed a man just the moment the whis tle blew. Of course all were astonish ed, and were very sorry to find that the engineer's fears were realized. The body was brought to the city on the same train. AY'' Hi It an Jlulvttu.
