"Forgive me. dear girl, forgive me; it is my love that makes me thus desperate." But Marâ€" garet would not be pacified; she strug- gled and screamed, but Laud would not release his .hold. Already they had reached the boat, when a. man rushed from an adjacent oqpse. sprang upon the smugglers, and in the struggle Margaret escaped and ran back to the farm. Her rescuer Was John Barry, who, armed only with a. stout ash stiek. would ‘haVe fared badly against his ene- In the meantime William Laud had returned to his old pursuits, and was again the commander of a. smuggling crew. His passion Lfor Margaret amounted to infatuation. and he de- termined to possess her. He consultâ€" ed with John Luff, who proposed that they should Carry her off‘ William might then marry her in Holland. This scheme was put into immediate effect. A note was sent to the Priory farm to inform Margaret that William was most anxious for an interview, and ap- pointing evening and the seashore as time and place Margaret gladly flew to the-appointment. Margaret then obtained a place as servant at the Priory farm. belonging to Mr. and Mrs. \Vake, at Downham Reach. There was a. young man em- ployed upon the farm whose name was Jolm Barry. He soon became enamor- ed of Margaret and proposed to marry her. She at once. and with extreme candor. revealed to him her attachment to, and engagement with. William Laud declaring at the same time she would qever marry another so long asiVWil- 1137111 was allve. The Catchpole family soon became the object of suspicion and distrust in the neighborhood. Strange stories were cirâ€" culated relative to Margaret's connec- tion with the smugglers. The conse- quence was that old Jonathan was comâ€" pelled to change his abode; and, from a regular workman he became a job- bing laborer, obtaining employment when and where he could. Meantime, the name of W'illiam Laud had grown notorious from his frequent conflicts with the revenue officers. In one of these encounters XVilliam Laud was fearfully wounded in the head. The same sailor who had before visited the Catchpoles, and whose name was John Luff, now came to Margaret, and im- plored her to hasten to the presence of the wounded man. Not for one mo- ment. did Margaret hesitate. She hasâ€" tened to the house where William lay concealed, under the trotection of Capt. Bargood, his patron. V eeks passed away and Margaret tended him with affecâ€" tionate care. At length he recovered, and when they parted he promised to renounce smuggling and to enter the merchant service. The family were poor. A neighbor- i-ng shopkeeper offered to dispose of the articles to good advantage; and the sailor's present brought comfort and even luxury into the little cottage. Re- gularly every month the game sailor called with a bulky parcel of presents for Margaret, with tender messages tram \Villiam; and the contraband ar- ticles were disposed of by the fiiandly neighbor. Months passed away, in the course of which poor Susan died; but Margaret received no tidings of VVilIiam. One day a. sailor presented himself at the cot~ tage, bearing with him a large pack- et which he deposited upon the table. saying: “This is a present from \Vilâ€" liam Laud to Miss Margaret." The par~ cel was opened; it contained lace and ribbons. silks and stuffs. gloves and scents; tea, coffee. sugar, snuff and toâ€" bacco; meerscihaum pipes with silver- mounted bowls and tubes; in a Word, enough to stock a small shop. Margar- et's delight was mixed with alarm ; the goods were all contuaband,. and it was plain that William was engaged in smuggling adventures. William and Margaret became enâ€" gaged to each other in due course; and hhay were to be married as soon as William could obtain some settled emâ€" ployment. Before long, William acceptâ€" ed the proposal of a. Capt. Bargoodwho offered to receive him on board one of his trading vessels. At 16. Mamaret, although by no means pretty. was wellâ€"formed, with jetty hair, fine black eyes. and a D319 and interesting countenance. Young as She was. she had already a lover, one William Laud, a fine active yomng fel- low, of an adventurous turn. Margaret Catchpole was born in the year 1773. at a little cottage near Nac‘ ton, Suffolk, England. Her fatherJonâ€" athan Catchpole, was a plowman upon the farm of one Mr. Danton. \Vhen a child. Margaret was fond of riding up- on the cart horses, and indulged in tents of strength and agility! which were suitable rather to a. lad than a girl. By the time she was 10 cm 11 years old, she could :ride on hotrseback as (well as any peason, male or female, ill the neighborhood. She was of a kind and good disposition ; and much of heir time was occupied in attending upon her iunvalid sister Susan. hardly to be quoted as a model fur im- itation, yet her bravery and true-heartâ€" ed devotion may be pleaded as an ex~ curse for such of her acts as cohtmve-ned the laws of her country.

The young woman was taken to Ips- wich, recognized, and conveyed back to the jail. in due time she was bu‘ought to trial before the same judge who had before condemned her. The law was imperative.

Two years passed away, and Margar- et’s exemplary conduct led to hopes that at the expirratiou of another twelve- month she would be restored to liberty.

Margaret pleaded guil- ty. and was sentenced to death. the then penalty for horse stealing. The sen- tence was afterward commuted to sevâ€" en years' imprisonment in Ipswich jail; and Margaret became the servant of Mrs. Ripshaw. the wife of the goverâ€" no'}: of the prison. Shortly after Margaret obtained the situation of {housemaid in the service of Mr. and Mrs. Cobbold. whose dwelli‘ng. known as the Cliff. stood on the banks of the Orwell. Here Margar~ et's time passed smoothly on until May. 1797. when she received a letter signâ€" ed “William Laud." dated from the " Dog and Bone,” public house in the borough of Southwark. and earnestly imploring her to repair to London with- out delay, that they might there be married. She was overjoyed with the news. But how was she to go to Lon- don? She had no money, and she knew that her master and mistress would not grant ‘her leave to undertake a jour- ney‘ which was to lead her to William Laud. She, however. soon made up her inmd how to act. She attired herself 1n. the arb of a. groom, and mounting one of . Cobbold’s horses, commenc- ed her journey.

That is if Mr. VVilâ€" son does not fall intcf the hands of the Standard Oil Company or its allies.

Incidentally Mr. Wilson mention- ed that he purchased 20,00U horse power in the Lake St. John district. Quebec, and will erect a large plant there which will be in Operation in 8. year. The power will only cost $2 per horse power. The talk was listened to with intense interest. Mr. \Vilson is. by the way, grandson of the late Hon. John Wilson, Speaker of the Old As~ semhly of Canada, and is a thorough Canadian. He says that if he lives Canâ€" ada will export her limestone and her. water power in the form of ('aliiutn car- i hide to the amoumt of twenty million‘ dollars a year at least.

To illusâ€" trate this Mr. Wilson took a. piece of the calcium, and after lighting it fed the flame by dropping water upon it. The members fired questions upon him so‘fast that he could hardly get in a word of explanation. The answers strung together are to the effect that acetylene can be burned at a cost of four-fifths of a. cent. per hour for a fifty candle power light. It costs three-quarters of a cent per hour in Ottawa for a sixteen candle power inâ€" candescent light, while acetylene of the same power would cost oneâ€"quarter of a cent per hour. The carbide. Mr. Wil- son says, will soon be on the market all over Canada at four cents per pound retail, and he hopes shortly to reduce it to three cents. The benefit to Can- ada, from the industry he is establish- ing will be very great He is shipping eighty tons of carbide to Europe this week. and tens of thousands of tons are expected to follow.

In the month of June, 1812, Mar- garet Catchpole became the wife of Mr. ohn Barry, of VViindsor place, near the Hawksberry Green Hills, in Australia. Thus did she espouse the man who had loved her so tenderly long ago in Eng- land. They had children; and Barry lived to the 9th of September, 1827. and his wife survived him till the 10th of September, 1841. The latter portion of her life was spent in ease and comâ€" fort, and her children inherited anonâ€" sidemble fortune at ‘her decease. The story of Margaret‘s life and adventures was told by the Rev.
