The following touching story of the death of Sir Charles Lucas and Sir Geoege Lisle, which I lately came across, is, I think, worthy of repetitiop. These gallant cava- lier officers fought under Goring, Earl of Norwich, and in the year 1648, held Col- cnester against Fairfax and the Parliament. Their sad deaths happened thus : ** Crom- well had just destroyed the Scotch army of the Duke of Hamiltun in the North. fhe Prince was with his fleet inthe Downs, tue poor King a prisoner at Carisbrooke; the Kari of Hoiland had been t»ken near Kingston in an affair of cavalry, and Gor- ing aud Lord Capel, with the Kentish and E-sex Loyalist corps, were shut up in Col- chester. The cavaliers, having eaten near- ly ail their horses, aud, despairing of re- nef, sent wo Fairfax to propose terms. Fair- tax would dismiss the common soldiers, but would grant no conditiuns to the offic- ers nu gentiemen. A day or two was spent in deliberation. The fiercer were for a brisk sal.y at ali risks, but they had too tew horses, and those that were left were wesk from insufficieut food. Some were ior dashing open a port, and for dying sword in hand; but, as that was only to be butchered without a chance of revenge, calmer cvunsel prevailed. They all surrendered, threw vpen tie gates, and the utlicers were at once led to the town-hall, locked im and guarded. Presently a Puri- ‘an officer entered, and demanded a list of he prisoners’ names for the general. It was yivea, aud « guard shortly returned for sir Charies Lucas, Sir George Lisle and sir Bernard Gascoigne. ‘Lhe butchers had cowe into the crowded slaugiter-house, and dragged out their selected victims. They were brought before Fairfax, who (insti- gated, a8 Clarendon thinks, by the inflex- ible Lretun) told them that aiter so long and obsiinate a defence, it was necessary, fur the example of others, that the peace ut the kingdom should be no longer disturbed, and that military justice should be done— the three men must be presentiy put to death; and they were instanily led into a yard contiguous, where three tiles of mus- keteers Were drawn up ready for the dread- ful duty. Sie Bernard Gascoigne was a yentieman of Fiorence, who knew just Kugiish enough toexpiain that he required only pen, ink and paper, so that he might write tothe Grand Duke to relate how he had lost his life, and who should inherit his estates. Sir Charies Lucas, the younger biother of a lord, and the heir to his title, iad been brought up in the Low Countries, and had served in the cavairy. ‘**He was very brave,” says Clarendon, ‘‘and in the day of battle a gallant man to look upon and follow, but at all other times and places of a nature not to be lived ‘with, of wn iil understanding, of a rough und proud

to carry out the sentence, reserving the Italian to the last. The three Cavaliers were led forth imto the castle courtyard. the soldiers first fired on Lucas, who fell dead. Seeing that, Lisle ran to be body, embraced it, kissed the stern, rugged face, and thinking the firing-party too far off, told them to come nearer. One of the musketeers exclaiming, ‘I'll warrant you, sir, we hit you.’ Lisle replied, smiling: ‘Friends, I’ve been nearer you when you have missed me.” Thereupon they all fired, and under the shower of fiery lead he fell instantly without word, Sir Richard Gascoigne already stripped off the doublet, and was expecting his turn had come, when the of- ficer told him he had orders to carry him back to his friends, ‘* for which mercy he cared not a whit.” The council of war had feared that if his life were taken, their friends and children for several generations would be in danger when travelling in Italy.

Lord Capel’s high courage could not stand this ; he bade the Puritans fnish their work,and shpw, them the same rigour; upon which there were, says Claredon, ‘two or three sharp and bitter replies between him and Ireton, which cost Capel his life a few months after.” While in the Tower Capel made a daring escape, but was soon recaptured and beheaded, to-
