been learned to conquer under the banner of Turenne and Condi. Schomberg
was the hero at the battle of Boyne. One of his standards bore a BIBLE,
supported on three swords, with the motto--'_Ie maintiendray_.' The
gallant old man, now eighty-two years of age, fell mortally wounded, but
triumphing, and with his dying eyes he saw the soldiers of James
vanquished, and dispersed in headlong flight. Ruoigny, in the same
battle, received a mortal wound, and, covered with blood, before the
advancing French refugee regiments, cheered them on, crying, 'Onward, my
lads, to glory! onward to glory!'

In England, the French Protestants long remained as a distinct people,
preserving in a good degree a nationality of their own, but in the lapse
of years this disappeared. One hardly knows in our day where to find a
genuine Saxon,--'pure English undefiled,'--for the Huguenot blood
circulates beneath many a well-known patronymic. Who would imagine that
anything French could be traced in the colorless names of White and
Black, or the authoritative ones of King and Masters? Still it is a
well-known fact that such names, at the close of the last century,
delighted in the designations of Leblanck (White), Lenoir (Black),
Loiseau (Bird), Lejeune (Young), Le Tonnellier (Cooper), Lemaitre
(Master), Leroy (King). These names were thus translated into good
strong Saxon, the owners becoming one with the English in feeling,
language, and religion. Holland, too, glorious Protestant Holland! the
fatherland of American myriads, welcomed the fugitive Huguenots. From
the beginning of the Middle Ages that noble land had been a hospitable
home for the persecuted from all parts of Europe. During the last twenty
years of the seventeenth century, the French emigration into that
country became a political event. Amsterdam granted to all citizenship,
with freemen's privilege of trade, and exemption of taxes for three
years; and all the other towns of that nation rivalled each other in the
same liberal and Christian spirit. In the single year of the revocation,
more than two hundred and fifty Huguenot preachers reached the free soil
of the United Provinces. Pensions were allowed to them, the married
receiving four hundred florins, those in celibacy two hundred. The
Prince of Orange attached two French preachers to his person, with many
French officers to his army against James II.--thanks to the generous
Princess of Orange, who selected several Huguenot dames as
