A day or two afterwards, having procured ,Jeuve of absence fora time. Lieutenant Ogilvieend his wile set out for the Continent, where they spent the honey-moon, visiting many ofthe most celebrated places abroadâ€"Paris, Rome, and Naples-included. On their return to Scotland Henry. and hin youth- ful bride were warmly received by the officers of the regiment to wttichhe was attached as well as bv the wives ofsuch amongst them, of whom the-colonel was one, as were . m'arrietl ; with the latter of whom our heroine, owing to her superior attractions. might have he- come an object of jealotjsy, and therefore ol dislilce,.ltarl not such a feeling been neutralised by the uniform modesty of her dyemeauour and amiubility ofdisp‘osition both of which were beyond praise. Duringthis interval Mrs. Ogilvie had written to her father several timos,cxcusing her and Imploring’ his lorgivenes’s; but all was in vain. her letters either re- mained unanswered, or being re. gunned unopened. [uttered a few words of sympathy and consolation. and now feeling lmuch better, Mrs. Ogilvie, for such we must henceforth continue to style her, intimated her desire lthatthey should withdran tipon which, having bade adieu to'the superintendnnt registrar and ‘his clerk. botlml whom had been much taken a-back and noantJSsed at the extraordinary {scene they had wit- nessed-,gthcy quit‘té‘d-ttm -md‘ re-entering thev’éarriagc Which. was still waiting, drove off to Miss Carnegie's residence, where theyl pat-took of a handsome \Veddtngl breakfast which had been provided for them; our heroine seon recover‘ ing her spirits, and her counten- ance, instead oi the pale and de- jected look it had previously worn, being now bright and animated. and covered with blushes and smiles as she listened \to the lively sallies of the gailant captain, or caught the adoring glance lof'her young and handsome husband fixed full upon her. ‘ A few months after this. the re- gimcnt to which Henry Ogilvie be- longed received orders to sail for India, which, owing to the recent annexation of Code, and other causes appeared to be in an un- settled condition. Ere leaving the country. however, our herotnc made a last appeal to her father in order to melt his heart in her favor, informing him that she’ was aboutto accompany her husband to u for- eign and far distant strand, from whence, perhaps. she should never return, and tmploring him in the most touching manner to receive her andt'orgive her are she lelt. But, as before, all was in vain, the old man continued Inflexible. To enter into a minute detail of all the events of their passage. as well in the various adventures the? mat with, which, however, were tew and unimportant. would be tedious and uninteresting to the reader, besides occupying more space than we are inclined to allow in our story; suffice it to sav, that after a lengthened, but not unpros- pernus voyage, they reached their destination in safety, casting their anchor in the [*Iooghly, opposilethc cny of Calcutta. To describe the various emotions of pleasure and' amazement with which our hero and heroine gazed .upon seenos sol plierly new and strange to them, or What they fell on entering the city of Palaces, as Calcutta is often called, would be nigh to impossible, besides being useles’such scenes having been frequently.described before, and by pens, as old Jacob Tonson the bookseller would have said, far abler than ours. A week or two atterwards. during which they had mostly re- covered from the effects of their sea voyage. and had‘ likewise. at least the officers and their wives, experienced tothe full the hospi- talities of their friends and fellow- countrymen in Calcutta. which on these occasions is usually unbound- ed, they received orders to proceed up the country to Cawnpore, where according to the .coionei's state- ment, they might expect to be stationed for some time to come. Here they.spenl the greater part of a year in that idle, listless man- ner. pecilliar to ’ Europeans, both civil and mi’iilary, in that par: of the world. their time, when nol With Lieutenantâ€"or, as we must now’ call him, Captainâ€"Ogil- via and his wife, however, the ease was diflerent. The former when not engaged in his imme- diate duties, which he never on any account neglected, or when not engaged in field sports, at which, like most men of his san- guine and ardenmempcrament, he was pasionately' fondâ€"devoted most ofhis time to his wife and 'child (Mrs. Ogilvie had presented ther husband with a son since her arrival in India), in whose com- ‘panv, despite the sneers of envious lcrities who affected to deride his home-loving propensities, he tound a pleasure at once as pure as it was deligltltul; while Mrs Ogilvie, 1equally noble and high-minded, ds- spised. or at least avoided as much as possible. the various follies, dis- sipations and amusements ol sta- tion life. the principle part of which consisted of slander and scandal- mungering. and pretering the quie- tude at her home to augltt else. felt sufficiently happy tn the love of her husband. and he care of her child. In this manner. as we have al- ‘ready said, passed the greater part of a vear; the European residents in Cawupore little dreaming of the storm that was about to burst over their heads ; that they were stand- ing upon a volcano, a mine, which at any moment might explode and hoist them to destruction ; that the country. now so peaCelul and flour- ishing would soon be one wide- spread acene ol bloodshed and terror; that the Sepoys had mutin- led at Dumdum, Bv-rhampore, and Barrackpore, where they had re- fused '.o touch the greased cart- ridges served out to them ; and that, in’ fine, the Indian rebellion, with all its terrible consequences, had begun.

Stationed themselves in the midst of a district whose inhabi- tants were bitterly hostile to them, and surrounded by a host oi foes whose numbers were daily, nay houer increasing; 'and isolated as it were from all human assistance. their own position at Cawnpore was not only insecure, but perilous in the extreme. To describe all the events that occurred during the siege sustain- ed by the small body of English in Cawnpore, or that portion of the city which they held, would be tedious as well as useless. the events themselves being of too re- cvnt occurrence, and too Well known to render it necessary : suf- fice to say, that the greatest hero- ism was displayed; the women rivaling and even surpassing the men in courage and fortitude, tend- ing assiduously upon the sick and wounded. and cvan occasionally standing by the guns and otherwise assisting their gallant defenders when hard pressed by their ruth- less and determined enemies. At length the time came when resistance could be at no further avail, when worn out by long con- tinued watching and suffering; their ranks thinned bv famine and sickness, wounds, and death, and hopeless of all succour from with- out, a treaty of capitulation was entered into with Nana Sahib. the commander of the besieging lorces. the terms being that they (the Englishâ€"men. women; and chil- ‘dren) should be permitted to embak on the river, boats being provided (or them, bv which means they hoped to be enabled to reach Alla. habad or some other British .station on the river.

A moment or two afterwards, while they were in the utmost con fusion incident to this strange be- havror on the part of the boatmen, and while cries ot rage and leer re- sounded on every side, a vmasked ‘ battery of heavy guns, loaded with round. arena, and canister shot, opened fire upon them. s'mamping the boats and killing and wound- ing great numbers of the miserable victims, whose blood, flowing from innmuerable woundr, crimsoned the bright waterst of the riverâ€"the death-shriek! of the women and children mingling with the shouts and execration of the men as they fell back dead or wounded in the boats or sank in the river to rise no more.

Were hurried like so many sheep or cattle to the Assembly RoOm‘ of Cawnpore, there to await, if possible, a still more horrible fate. > This capitulatldfi was signed by Sir Hugh Wheeler wlth his latest brealh. and ratified by the Nana in a rhost solemn manner. We shall soon see how the latter kept his word. To describe how the gallant band marched faith,â€"â€"-palc‘, gum“. and hollow-eyed ;' but. although so few in numbers. proud and courageous Of the subsequent fate of these unfortunate captives we shall not enter into detailsâ€"suffice it to say‘ that some time afterwards the Nana, maddened with rage at the defeats he had sustained from St)" Henry HaVelock, who was advancw ing to their relief, ordered them to; be massacred, which was accord-l ingly executed under circumstances of the utmost atrocity,their mangled and dead bodies, on which in many cases was scarcely left a trace. of human face or form divine. being cast into the now but too celebrated well of Cawnpore. But over these scenes we are fain to draw‘ a Veil: lhumanity shudders abthe recital of such awful crimes. But to return to our more immedi- ate narrative.
