ayer, through Him whose
merits have found me a place in that glory to which I come. Be merciful
to him whose love is true as mine own, and faithful unto death. Tyrone,
we meet again!--Oh, how have I prayed for thee!" Her eyes seemed to
brighten even in this world with the glories of another.

"Farewell!--I hear the hymns of yon ransomed ones around the throne.
They beckon my spirit from these dark places of sorrow. Now--farewell!"

She cast one look towards her lover: it was the last glimpse of earth.
The next moment her gaze was on the brightness of that world whence
sorrow and sighing flee away. So sudden was the transition, that the
first smile of the disembodied spirit seemed to linger on the abode she
had left, like the evening cloud, reflecting the glories of another sky,
ere it fades for ever into the darkness and solitude of night.

[28] In the parish church of St Chad, Rochdale, is a marble tablet,
erected by John Entwisle, Esquire, a descendant of Sir Bertine, on which
is the following inscription:--

"To perpetuate a memorial in the church of St Alban's (perished by
time), this marble is here placed to the memory of a gallant and loyal
man, Sir Bertine Entwisel, Knight, Viscount and Baron of Brybeke, in
Normandy, and some time Bailiff of Constantin, in which office he
succeeded his father-in-law, Sir John Ashton, whose daughter Lucy first
married Sir Richard le Byron, an ancestor of the Lord Byrons, Barons of
Rochdale, and, secondly, Sir Bertine Entwisel, who, after performing
repeated acts of valour in the service of his sovereigns, Henry V. and
VI., more particularly at Agincourt, was killed in the first battle of
St Alban's, and on his tomb was recorded in brass the following
inscription:--

"'Here lyth Syr Bertine Entwisel, Knighte, which was born in
Lancastershyre, and was Viscount and Baron of Brybeke in Normandy, and
Bailiff of Constantin, who died fighting on King Henry VI. party, 28th
May, 1455.
