THE CAPTAIN'S SWEETHEART. ** Only last nijrht my ship came In, 1 Yet years it seemed ore 1 could seek our side, and say to vow the words That I so lonjf have longed to speak For 1 am ruptuiu now. and thought To-day to win you for my bride; But would I 'd ne’er set loot on shore I Would on the ocean I bad died!" With kindling eye and crimsoned cheek Hia words of bitterness she heard, Then tightly clasped her little hands, But never spoke a single word. Your lovely eyes were dim with tears When last l started for the sea; You knew I loved you, and I dreamed— Poor trusting fool you cared for me. Each night your name was in my prayers, Your picture on my heart hath lain: Once more I’ll press my lips to it, ! Then you may have it back again." He kissed it thrice, ami hel 1 it forth With trembling hand. Mie raised her Dead, j And in his face gazed steadily. Hut not a single word the said. i “To think that you should wed for gold. Sell your sweet fact for sparkling gems! i Love's sunshine, girl, would brighter make Your curls than precious diadems. And Faith and Truth would bring you flowers Where Pomp and Pride but weeds can how: But since you’ve made your choice, farewelll" And with a sigh he turned to go* A smile dawned on her pretty mouth; She shook her prett\ golden curls. “Stay, Ralph.

Hence the name Blarleine, or i Blar-nan-leine. by which this battle is ; known among Highlanders. The light began with a discharge of arrows—the ! usual mode of Highland warfare in those 1 times—and when their arrows were ex-

that present so rich a field to glean from as the “Great Glen.” And the tourist who, intent only on luxuriating in abundance of fresh air, or on feasting ins eyes on the beauties of magnificent scenery, will have his reward. Borne swiftly along in the well-equipped passenger boat, he gazes on a panoramic exhibition, that unfolds one after another scenes so attractive, and that impress the memory with reminiscences so agreeable, that there are few who have seen those sights but would gladly enjoy a repetition of the tour. We think the scenery along this route is not much, if at all, inferior to the farfamed Rhine scenery. Let us suppose ourselves at the point at which the steamer leaves the canal and enters Loch Lochy—the fourth in the chain of lakes that lie along the valley. The ground through which the canal passes here was formerly known by tlie name of Dalruairi—a considerable part of which was submerged when the water level was raised to serve canal purposes. On this ground was fought, on the 15th of July, 1544, one of the host contested and bloodiest fights in the annals of Highland warfare—a very Otterbum of Highland combats—literally realizing the fable of the Kilkenny cats, that ate each other
to the tails.
Allan Mac Ruairi, of Eileantioram, in Mudart, was Chief and Captain of Clanranald from 1481 till 1509, when lie was | executed in presence of Janies IV. at Blair Athole. What the crime laid to | his charge was, for which lie suffered the last penalties of the law, is not very clear. The probability is that his principal offense was the part he acted in a raid upon Athole headed by Donald : Dubh, the well known aspirant to the ' Lordship of the Isles. This Clanranald chief was twice married. His first wife 1 was a daughter of Macian, the Macdon1 aid Chief of Ardamurchan; and after her death he espoused the Honorable | Isabella Fraser, daughter of Thomas, | fourth Lord Lovat and sister to Hugh, ! fifth Lord Lovat. This lady, after the ! death of Clanranald, her first husband, 1 married John Mor Grant, first of the ; Grant lairds of Glenmoriston. The Glenmoriston tradition is, that, after the death of Clanranald, she left Mudart for her brother’s residence in the Aird j —whether on a visit or with the purpose of permanently residing there is uncertain. Anyhow she passed through Glenmoriston on her way—encamped there with her attendant retinue—and, according to the courtesies of those , times, sent one of her band to the laird ! to inform him of her arrival; at the same t time soliciting his protection. Lady : Clanranald and her retinue were hos- ! pitably entertained, and so favorably j impressed by the good qualities of her j host, that before parting she consented to be his wife. Their sous were Patrick I Mid James. Patrick was one of the I few who survived the Cinlochlochy j light unwounded—where ho and his ' men fought bravely in the interest of his brother, Ranald Gallda. By his first wife- Macian’s daughter — Allan Mae Ruairi had two sons, Ra- | nald and Alexander. Ranald was a man I of action and ability, and for a time ! steered the Clanranald hark safely beI tween the rocks, and through the break- ! ers of many dangerous clan feuds. But | eventually driven by self interest or stress j of weather to the commission of crimes ■ which made him amendable to capital j punishment he also suffered the last i penalty of the law at Perth in the year 1613. He was led in the cniefj tainship by his son Dugald. Ho also died an untimely death. Because of cruelties and crimes against ids own kin he was assassinated and his sons formally excluded from succeeding to the chieftainship. The command of the clan and possession of the family estates reverted to his undo Alexander,

or escape is uncertain—no hastened with all speed to his mountain home, and, by the singular influence he possessed over ids clan, drew them again to his banner—was acknowledged as their chief—and Ranald Gallda, whose more relined accomplisliments were not at all to tlie taste of his wild Modart kinsmen, had to betake himself for shelter and protection to his uncle Lovat, who took steps to reassert the rights of his injured nephew. John Mudartaeh was too fiery and impetuous a spirit to abide invasion. He took the initiative. In alliance with the Macdonalds of Keppoeli and the Camerons of l^fcliiel, headed by their respective chiefs, lie ravaged the districts of Abertarf and Stratherric belonging to Lovat and tliose of Glenmoriston and GlenUrquhart, belonging to the Grants, who sided with Lovat. He also invested tlie Castle of Urquhart, of which the laird of Grant was Constable; took it by storm, put the garrison to the sword and settled a large portion of his followers in the surrounding districts as in a conquered territory. These were serious and formidable invasions upon the rights of the lieges, and as a necessary consequence brought John Mudartaeh and his allies into collision with the crown. The Castle of Urquhart being a loyal fort. Huntly, the King’s Lieutenant in the North, was authorized to take immediate steps towards chastising these chieftains. He lost no time in raising an army, including, in addition to his own dependents, the Frasers, the Mackintoshes and the Grants. His first operation was to clear tin* invaded territories of their new settlers. He. then marched westwards against the Macdonalds of Keppoch and the Camerons, after which lie led his forces into the wilds of Mudart, and without much opposition put Lovat’s nephew in possession of Eileantioram, but as the sequel shows not in possession of the clan. .John Mudartaeh was not in a position, single-handed, to cncountertne King's Lieutenant; and wist
resting-place of tliose who fell in this battle. The loss sustained by the Frasers, great as it was, would have been still more disastrous to the elan but for

The older combatant gave ground before ins more vigorous rival— observing which the “gille maol dubh” exclaimed, “ ’S beag orm eeum air ais an t-shcann duine”—“ I like not the backward step of an old man.” father replied, “ A’ bheil thusa ’n sin a ghille mhaoil dnibh, malha bi'n so.” ” Arc you there, if so be here;” whereupon the son stepped forward and took his father’s place at the moment he had fallen mortally wounded.

tach a.id his allies foresaw there would be a division of Huntly’s forces. Guessing the route Lovat was likely to take, he marched down behind the range of mountains to the north of Loehloehy, and encamped on the night previous to the battle in a glen among the hills immediately behind the farm of Kiltinnan, near a small loch, called Locan-nam-bata, the loch of the staves. In the muddy margin of this little loch, the Mudart men left their staves on the morning of the battle, that by the number of unclaimed ones they might as-

Leadiille Types.
Of all American cities Lendville might be expected to contain a number of what a novelist called types. A list of candidates for city office has ju-t been published. with biographical sketches, showing that the typical American as he seems to foreigners may certainly be found in Leadville. The candidate for Mayor was born in Michigan. He learned the “rudiments” at the public schools. Iu 1858 lie became a printer’s devil, and

The Frasers numberea about three hundred men. The Clanranald brought live hundred warriors to the field. This disparity, sufficiently great fo begin with, became greater, as Lovat found it necessary to detach fifty of his men, under command of his Lieutenant, Beathan Cleiraeh, to secure a safe retreat in case of discomfiture, which he apprehended owing to the disparity between the combatants. But for this precaution, seeing the Frasers fought so well, it is not impossible but victory might have alighted upon their banner. Anyhow John Mudartaoh’s tactics proved successful.
