It was In the g@utummn of 1514, just before the ond proposal 10 Misa Milbanke, that he was thrown over by Lady F. W.

(i) His prior affair with Lady Caroline Lainb, the wife of Lady Byrou’s first cousin, created an unusual mount of scandal and caused him great annoyance aga her pertinacity. He complained to Lady merston, Lady Caroline’s aud Lady Byron's first usin, that he Was pursued by a@ “mad skeleton.” ‘he scene at Lady fleatncote'’s, where she stabbed herself with a pe of scissors, took place in the spring Of 1813, after the frat proposal. Did no sound of these strange doings ever penetrate the sanctuary of pure imaginings in which Aurora Kaby, alias Annabella Milbanke, dweltl If Le | one woman ever swayed his destiny (which we Qoubt), it was Mary Chaworth; and we should be content to rest the whole question, involving Mrs. Beecher Stowe's critical capacity and ide yateng on this; whether if Was or was not the memory of Mary Cha- worth that haunted him in “The Dream?” a ques- tion whica must be decided by the poem, not by the @ogmaiic assertion ol Mrs. Beeches Stowe.

After her marriage the poet saw, or thought be saw & sad expression in er face: What could her grief be?—She had loved him not, Nor given bim cause to deem himself beloved; Nor could be bo a part of that which preyed Upon ber mind—a spectre of the past. The localities, ‘‘a nill, a gentle hill,” “the old man- sion and the accustomed hall,” are all redolent of Annesley. Mrs, Beecher Stowe wiil next tell us that the lines on the Rhine were really written on the Danube, and that, when he spoke of the castied crag of Drachentels, he was thinking of the castled flat of Belgrade; or, under the insane dread of aeiection, may he not have beon acting like the lover who, on engaging to paint the portrait of his mistress, a ‘ied Woman, directed that at should not be made ike her for tear of its leading to suspicion or dis- covery, According to thia lady, not only must his pooms De interpreted by the rule of contraries, but, to ex- plain his conduct, all the ordinary motives of human action must be reversed. We are actually required to believe that, under that same insane dread of de- fection, which would have been ‘‘uiter ruin and ex- puision from civilized society,’ he marries one ‘woman when he would 4s lief have married another, treats her brutally, forthwith confides to her the dread secret of his life for no imagiuable purpose but to increase the risk of detection, and, with full knowledge of her character, endeavors to make her ‘en accotuplice in hie guilt, Marriage ia the very last step a man absorbed by a guilty intrigue, and ‘mor- bidly airaid of detection, would venture npon; thereby creating an additional responsibility for nis well a# @ legitimate spy on theim:— a thorn in a galiant’s side, Requires decorum, and is apt to doable ‘The horrld alu, and, what 's still worse, the trouble, Let who can reconcile Mrs. Beecher Stowe’s ac- ute of the carriage scene With the one given to ady Anne Barnard—the rambling incoherence, with the utter confusion of times and periods, renders tt ympossible to reconcile any two consecutive para- ‘aphs of Mrs. Beecher Stowe's narrative with any iy ovher two. ‘Only a fow d fore aha le/t him forever Lord Byron sent S's Ce el rene ers ‘*Slege of Corinth "and “Parison,” und wrote “Lam very glad that the handwritlig wan a favorable omen of the morale of the piect ot trust to that; for my copylat would wri iret, ke all Hie ignorance of innocence, i y ¥ é * But there came an hour of revelation—an hour when, ina manner which left no kind of rom sor down, Lady Byron saw the full depth of the abyes of infamy which her marriage Was expected to cover, and Understood that she wan oxpeciod to be the cloak and accomplice of bis infamy. she stood but you must out saything fd She would nelther leave him uor betray hitu, nor the for one moment justify his si none convulsive struggle, in which some times for « while good angel seemed to gain the grouud, and then the evil @ue returned with sévenfold vebe: ret Byrom ur; hie cure wit! self and with her rm with a1 tte sophistries of bis powerful mind.

Neither does 1: Byron appear to have under- stood Dr, Kennedy, who proves that Byron's belief im predestination, and in ols own sinfulness, had notaing to do with the inspiration of the Bible:— “Of the wickedness anddopravity of human nature [have no doubt," waid Lord Byron, “I have seen too much of it in all classes of aociety; and under the mask of politeness and patriousm T have foundao much vilenese. and villany that no except those who have witnessed it, can have any ion of, but these doctrines, which you mention, end into ‘nll the didicnities of original ain, and to the stories in the Old Testament, which mavy who call theu- selves Christiaus reject.

Lady Byron ieft him forever January 15, 1516, ‘They lived together just one year and thirieen days. Mrs. Beecher Stowe talks of two years of struggle after the complete revelation, and she repeats herself on this essential poimt:— ‘These two yeara in which Lady Byron was with all her soul struggling to bring her husband vack to bis better solf Were a series of passionate convulsions, uring thts cine disordered and desperate atate of his worldly affaira, that there were ten executions for debt levied on their faintly eatablishinent; and it was Lady Byron's fortune each dine which nottied the account, Lady Byron’s fortune did not come into possession ‘til 1822, and her fa:ily refused to help him, (j) This tay be collected from a letter to Moore, March 8, 1616, in which ue saya:— I aifll think, however, that ff T had bad a fatr chance, by being placed 10 even a tolerable situation, I might have goue on fairly. In @ conversation reported by Galt he sald:— Twas beset by duns, and at length an exeoution was levied and the baiilifs put ia possession of the very beds we had to fleep on. This waa no very agreeable atule of affulrs, no very pleasant scone for Laly Byroo to witness, and It was reed sho should pay her father a visit ti the storm was blown over and 2ome arrangement had been made, with my creditors. (k) Moore says:—‘‘He had been even driven by the necessity of encountering such demands to the try- ing expedient of parting with nis books, which cir. cumstauce coming to sir, Murray’s ears, that gentle- man instantly forwarded to him £1,600, with an assurance that another sum of the same amount should be at bis service ma few weeks, and that if Such assistance should not be sufictent Mr. Murray Was most ready lo dispose OF all bis past copyrights tor Ins use.” ‘Tita was two months before the sepa- ration, as appears froin the date of his levter to Mr, Murray :.

Even it Lady byron told her that the ten executions bap- pened in her time, and were settied out of her money, she should have vertfed the statement before adopting it, The unprobabiities of Mra Beecher Stowe’s drama thicken with the pilot and culmmate in. the catas- trophe.

Lord Byron’ put hie bands behind bim, retreated to the mantelpiece, aud looking around on the two that stood the with @ sarcastic smile said, “When shail we three m again?” iy Byron answered, “In heaven, I trast.” And those 1] were her last words to him on earth. Tt is wonderful that even & sensational novelist should risk her reputation upon such incongrulties, Intending to endow her heroine wiih aii human and some superhaman virtnes she has forgotten aquality essential to the true dignity of the sex. She hag forgotten to endow her with self-respect. To repre- sent her living for years or months on the same foot- tug with Lord Byron and irs.

The scene is a moral impos. sibility. Again, in ono paragraph tt is stated that the reac- tion of society broke up (he guilty intrigue; in ano- ther that Lady Byron made ttacondition that the unuappy partner of bis sins should not follow him out of England, aud that the ruinous intrigue should be given up. The fact 1s, nothing existing was broken up at all: there was never a thought of Mrs. Leigh's leaving Bogiand, with or withont him; bnt she remained with him st Lady Byron's request, and thelr corespondence (as we have shown) coutinued unailered till lus death, and his tonderest verses wero addressed to her, wuen, according to Mra. Boecber’s Stowe's theory, “Oh, no, we never men- tion her,” should have been the burden of his song. ‘The time for Making the one condition (which was never inade) was When the revelation came “in a manner which left no Kind of room for doubt,’ ¢ “She had him in Si and he stood at her mercy!” Yet it was be who turned her ont of doors, refused to take her proffered hand, kept the greater Part of her fortune vo huoself, coinpiamed bitterly Of her not speaking ont, defied ber, ridicuted her, in- sulted her, and by the frequency of his domestic re- velation’ in prose and yersd provoked Curran’s sarcasm that “he wept for the press and wiped his eyes with the public.” The audacity of misrepresentation cannot be pushed iariher then in the tollowing passage On hia deathdod it is well known that he called his contiden- tal Engiish agrvant to him and said to bim, “Go to my wife and tell her #3 Here followed twenty minutes Which the mame of nie wate, daughre Suddenly be turned end said, 3 weitien it down 4" saldt bts nite 4 you have bes: mi aint tha dying wan, “theo (tt too lato!” and he novar spoke more. ‘The authentic report (Fleteher’s) rons thuat— lay, when he know that he wan dyin 10 ake Flotcher dite old werraniy unvleratana 1 whettor be should brin, “Oh, no, he said, eit har.

What is meant (forty Years alter byrou’s death) by “would fnally cou- quer,” unless she believed in purgatory or in whe Manichiwan doctrine, and assuined that the struggle Was still pending between the good angel and the evil one? ‘She spirit of evil would appear to have had uniformly ie best of it, so lar as all nearest 1p blood to hin were concerned, uniess aud until Lady Byron came to the rescue With the Ithuriel spear of ber purity; Sud eveu wwe Memory of poor Mrs, Leiga (Who dieu, a8 she had lived, unconscious of gulit, with her faimiy and iriends about her) must perforce be stamed by tue posthumous calumny of havin: been “reformed and eunobied by the gracious ant loving fufluences” of her calumntator, who, before she was well cold in her grave, indusifiously circu- lated the calumny and finally suppied the most damning verston of it to an Almericay novelist to be dished ub seasoned, envenomed and trumpeted to the world, ‘These ¢xtra pious people, with their spiritualism, their “salvation made easy,” and their intrusive hess at death beds, imust bave an odd notion of “graciousness and loving Infuences.’?

Lady Byron certainly never had occasion to try her gracious and loving iniuences on Mrs. Leigh; and if she yave Mrs. Keecher Biowe to believe as Much, it was another of those delusions which are most charitably accounted tor by monomania, It is because she had many good qualities and did some good in her generauon, that we are driven to this excuse for her. Her mind was not @ weak one, Dut sue had inpaired it by regious specnianons beyond her reach, and by Jong brooding over her trials, in- volving some real aud many imagiuary wrongs. A mad worid, my mastera! Lady Byron could at first account for her gifted husband’s conduct on no hypothesis but insanity, aud now, by a sort of Neme- si6, there is no other hypothesis on which the mor- alist. can charitably account for hers. Bub there 18 marked difference in their maladies, He morbidly exaggerated his vices, aud she her virtues; his mouotuania lay in beiwg ab impossible sinner, aad hers iu au impossible salut, He was the faulty, and she the fauiticss, monster the world ne'er knew. He in his mad moods did his beat to blacken his owa reputation, while her self-delusions invariably tended to damage the characters of all that were neurest and should have been dearest to her, Which was the more dangerous or less amiable delusion of the two? We are not surprised to learn that Mrs, Beecher Stowe’s triumpbant reply, announced for November, has been indefinitely poned; for we do not see how (judepenuently of y Byron’s letters to Mra. Leigh) she is te betier her case, except in the very suspicious manner in which Lady Byron bettered hers, to the enure contentmeut of Dr. Lushington— by bringing Up a reserve, Her wisest course would be deep coutrition and apology. Neither do we see how any of the mivor or incidentai charges are to be coniirmed., The only remaining sources of information, or coudirmation, are the “paper con- tating @ brief memorandum of the whole, with the dates aifixed;”’ the paper bequeathed to the three trustees by Lady Gyron; the letters and documents in the possession of her grandchildren; aad (last, not least) br, Lushington. If they teil a diferent story, they wili not heip the case; if they tell one and the same, they sUill, one and all, depend exclu- sively on the testimony, oral or written, of one sbifung and mutable witness—vartum et muanile semper, 1) an indian mythology, the elephant sup- ports the earvh, and the tortoise supports the éle- plant, but what supports tbe tortoise? Jt rests on empty space, on vagueness aud hollowness. With regard to persons Who reject evidence altogether, and contend that 9 man is guilty of a given crime because they tink him capable of anyluing, it ws simply impossibie to argue withthem. ‘They forget, moreover, tat two persona (one of stainless reputa- tion) are involved, if the editor who played the part of literary Bar- nuin to Mrs. Beecner Stowe in this country had wot been over-eager to ceriify ler originaiuy and au- thenticity, he would have veen startled by her open- ing sentences:— ‘The reading world has ately been presented with w book (m), which we are Informed by the trade selte rapidly and appears to meet with universal favor. Tl ect of the book may be tus briefly stated:—The nulstress of Lord Uyron comes before the worid for the aake of vindicating his fame from sianders and aspersions cust op him by his wife. The trade know better; the book nas not sold rapidly, and lusiead of mecting with universal favor, has met with mingled censure, indifference and neglect. ‘The subject (meaving object) is equally misstated. The “mistress” of Lord Byron does not come before the world for the sake of vin- dicatiug bis jame from slanders and aspersous cast upon him by his wite, unless Mra.
