OR,

"TIS SIXTY YEARS SINCE.

CHAPTER I.

An old and a new Acquaintance.

"Dear Fergus, it is long since I have heard a friend's voice. Where is Flora?"

"Safe, and a triumphant spectator of our success." "In this place?"

"Ay, in this city at least, and you shall see her; but first you must meet a friend whom you little think of, who has been frequent in his inquiries after you."
