His father survived him only a few months, so that there is not at this moment, one of the name or blood of Henderson in the Grange.

The old man died of a quarrel with Jemmy Branigan, to whom he left a pension of fifty pounds a year; and truly the grief of this aged servant after him was unique and original.
"What's to come o' me ?" said Jemmy, with tears in his eye; "I have nothing to do, nobody to attend to, nobody to fight with, nothing to disturb me or put me out of timper; I knew, however, that he would stick to his wickedness to the last--an' so he did, for the devil tempted him, out of sheer malice, when he could get at me no way else, to lave me fifty pounds a year, to kape me aisy! Sich revenge and villany, by a dyin' man, was never heard of.

God help me, what am I to do now, or what hand will I turn to?
What is there before me but peace and quietness for the remainder of my life ?--but I won't stand that long--an' to lave me fifty pounds a year, to kape me aisy! God forgive him!" The Prophet suffered the sentence of the law, but refused all religious consolation.

Whether his daughter's message ever reached him or not, we have had no means of ascertaining.

He died, however, as she wished, firmly, but sullenly, and as if he despised and defied the world and its laws.
