Extract from prjcote letter, from brother
to a distant sister
If is too often the case when friends are first
separated, their attachments give activity to cor
respondence and lengthy declarations of I'M
ceasing remembrance and love. But as time
speeds along on iron WINGS the intervals be-
tween their letters grow longer and longer: un-
til at last they terminate. Still their minds turn
now and then to their once loved correspon-
dent, and every time wilhfreshdetermination to
comes when, notwithstanding the oft repeated
declarations of devotion, theysscarcely think Of
their absent friend at ALL and if they do, it is not
with that sweet thought of ties that never break,
and attachments that never end.
Am l stranger, dear Caroline, that you
remember me no more ? or have still an abid-
ing place in your affections A sisters love-
blessd is he who deserves it-thrice blessed is
be who enjoys it. Thethought that have too
long Sighted you, makes me tremble and doubt
my ability to ro.secure your confidence a
sister however who has always excused my
faults AMI praised my few virtues, will not now,
am persuaded, disclaim a repen,ant and re-
turning brother. Yes, am sure, you will be,
to me still the confdng and forgying spirit
that minstered to me SO charitably in times
past Times, happy to you and me-
| long once more 10 embrace you Gould
l but again see you and your dear little chill
dren, my heart would leap with gladness. But
shall ever see you and them again2 Hea-
ven appoint it. Should not, Providence be
with you and them and bless you 1t seems
that if you and Mr.. d. would move near me,
half of my bitterist trials would disappear
Your prattling babes, for whom | feel a deep
interest," would beguile the tedium ofmy leisure
hours and add thousand little pleasures to a
life that continues, scarcely for an object Tru-
ly love little children, because know their
love is spontaneous and without interest And
If love all, how much more should love
yours, in whose veins kindred blood gives them
life And liule J., who hear is like me,
would be delighted, could see him and teach
his little tongue to lisp the name of uncle.
The hour is late, yet have not quit my o.
fee-lhoughts Of you have oppressed my mind
for the last six hours Something whispers
me shall never see you again, and perhaps
this is the last communication you will ever
receive from your brother, who loves you with
ali Of a brothers love. Why this dsiraciing
though, know not Ny health is much i'm
proveI-hr better than it has been for many
years Fortune is more kind to me than usual
although 10 some things she has always teen
kind to me---but her admonitioDs have been
been neglected, and have abused her fayors.
Foolishly have spent her money, and spurned
her friendly situations Like the neglected
and abused wife, whose love is pure as snow,
and as lasting as life, she still turns upon me
with inviting smiles, and with oulspread arms
to reclaim me as her own. Some persons are
too much the slaves Of fortune lam her pro-
digal sOn-unlike the prodigal Of old I have
went and come a thousand times and as vet,
she has never failed to Kill the Elied calf and
feaz me upon all the soul desires upon earth
yet my Maynard spirit finds no rest THERE'S
an aching void within ny heart that nothing
that belongs to ordinary existence can ill
Il is upon the shrine Of fame
High above all inscriptions on II,
] wish 10 carve an honest name.
So dazziei eyes cant gaze upon j.
Lssiag as the cicrnal rays or light
n possible, q thousand times as bright
Such Eme is beyond al mental effort hence
