believe that he had not been recognized. Nevertheless, it
was possible; and whether it were so or not, he did not doubt that what
Mendez had once asserted he would adhere to. On receiving his dismissal,
he had gone to some distance from the scene of his crime; but having,
whilst the money lasted, acquired habits of idleness and dissipation
that could not be maintained without a further supply, these necessities
had provoked this last enterprise.

He had really been concealed behind the wall when Malfi and his servant
passed; but concluding that they were going to meet Mendez, and that his
scheme was defeated, he had thought it both useless and dangerous to
remain, and was intending to make off in another direction, when their
sudden return surprised him.

A few hours more saw Antonio Guerra in Guiseppe Ripa's cell; and whilst
the first paid the penalty of his crimes, the latter was rewarded for
his sufferings by the hand of Bianca, to whom the Spaniard gave a small
marriage-portion before finally quitting the country, which he did
immediately after Antonio's trial.

Ripa said he had always had a strong persuasion that Guerra was the real
criminal from two circumstances: the first was the hurried manner in
which he was walking on the evening he met him at the gate of Forni, and
some strange expression of countenance which he had afterwards recalled.
The second was his answering them from the window when he and Malfi went
to inquire for Mendez. If he thought it was his master, as he said, why
had he not come down at once to admit him?

It is remarkable that the enmity of the Spaniard was not directed
against the man that had aimed at his life, but against him who had
wounded his pride.

JOHN ROBINSON, THE PASTOR OF THE PILGRIMS.[18]

There was in John Robinson a rare union of many admirable and noble
qualities; and the meekness of his wisdom was rewarded by his becoming,
in no figurative or trivial sense, the father, intellectually, morally,
spiritually, of a great nation. Like Moses, he was not permitted to
enter the land of promise; yet, like Moses, his memory was sacred to
thousands who had derived through him those principles, institutions,
and manners, which fitted them in so large a measure for their novel
position in a strange land. To this day the name of Robinson is a
household word in New England; and, instead of dying out, is rising in
reputation throughout the United
