TWO BROTHERS
Or Peace and Good Ncjghborlood.

the name of jacobs Ladder. AT the top Of the
hill stood the church, which from a distance
served as a Guide to the slrayug traveller ::
around it were scattered the dwellings, of the
inhabitants, stationed on the different platforms
Of the green hill, the nests III the wide branches
of lofty cedar.
At its foot, not far from Iacob's Ladder were
two small farms, separated. by Il hedge of elder
trees The two cottarcS. so exactly resembling
each other in their neatly whlte>washrd walls
in the matched roofs, in the easements round
which hung the honcySucklc in fragrant
clusters, came upon the eye as twin sisters so
alike in C1rb and features u5 scarcely to be dis
tingulshcd from each other
In truth. both were built at the same time,
, by Tom and Jones Basham not even hodre
divided them first. There was as little snpara-
ton between the houses as between the hearts of
the two brothers but their close ncighborhood
soon gave rise to innumcrablc qulrrcs, and. at
the time our recital begins the BaShams had
| long ceased to hold any intercourse with each
other Perhaps they no longer even enter
taincd any affection for each ohcr-for hearts
! which have parted in anger unconsciou:lv be-
come cmhittercd. We fill up with rcproach
4 and censurc the void which wounded affection
has left in our hearts, and by necessarily com
planning to ourselves of those we have loved.
