After praying earnestly to be forgiven all his sins, he ascended the scaffold, and soon entered on an endless eternity. The wicked uncle, who we before said was im- prisoned for debt, and who died in... his confinement, THE CHILDREN IN THE WOOD. 39 having left no child to heir his encumbered estate, Edgar and Jane, whom the ruffian Ned had pub- licly, and with his dying breath declared were put into a parish school, were inquired for, found, brought forth into the world, and put in possession of BASHAW PARK, which soon changed its name for that of HAPPY DELL.
