hastily left the house.

with emphasis on the word
."h! how has every generous vibra-
ton Of his heart ceased--every afec-
ton is benumbed--and the tenderness
Of love, aye, Of a bcosher's love, has be-
come cold, and alienated from has
breast!!' As he said this, a crimson
tnge mantled his cheek, and tear
started from his eye. His pride was
aroused-he felt shock which his no
BILE spirit could not withstand. "A reb

and bitter anguish, as he sat by the still;
pale and affected Antoinette, while
passion was exalting its influence with
in him.
Forget it,-lorget it, said Antoin-

be nothing but the ebulition Of momen-
tary passion"
Forget it, ] cannot, Antoinette,'
exclaimed Edward, she has touched a
chord in my heart that will not bear
pressure-that chord is too suscepti.

mony and hatred. lie possesses none
OF the attributes Of brotherly affection
"a kindred feeling flows not through
his veins. A scornful smile was on his
curled lip, and dark cloud settled up
on his manly brow. There was agony,
arestless agony, struggling in his frame
but was not precipitate. To any but
a brother his arm might have resented
the ihdignity, but passion had not SO
far taken possession ofhim, as to cause
him to lose sight Of those ennObline
qualities which enhance man in the
scale Of moral being, and which, in a
pre-eminent degree, he possessed

a letter to Edward. Eagerly Perus-

qured among his volunteers. I'VE

mournful tone, "and Perhaps-for-
ever.

presented beautiful banner to Ed

cep,ed it, and bidding her a heartfelt
adieu, he hastily departed.
As he proceeded towards his faith
..r's mansion, his heart was heavy.
His light aud buoyant step had deser-
ted him, and his feelings were of no
enviablc nature. Melancholy was
stamped upon evesy feature--a cloud
OF sorrow spread itself over his brow
and gloom dimmed his once spark
ling eye. Many and saddening were
the reflections which tortured his
m,nd-as, III imagination, he unveiled
the future, and brought to light all its
woes an. disappointmen.s, without one
single shade in the picture to cheer his
depressed spirits. 1t was not at the
thought. or fear of meeting the enc
mics Of his country, Oh the leld of bat
tie, in defence Of injured innocence,
that he thus yielded up to desponden-
c,,-no, tor he would willingly have
laid down his lite in her cause. But
the jealousy, that ranked in the heart
OF ms brother, which had by degrees,
merged into inveteracy towards him,
rose in his mind like a spectre, to be
forgotten only when its faculties were
dead. The precepts which his parent
had sought to inculCate were now dis
regarded BY Henry. He had avowed
himself in favor Of the mother country,
merely for the purpose Of winning the
esteem Of Mr.. Wharton, and he now
used every means to quell the spirit
prevalent among the colonists. A con-
sciousness Of this fact was a source Of
shame and sorrow to Edward.-He
could not look upon his brothers es-
arrangement from those principles which
he once possessed, without the horrid
reflection that in short time, on the
