BRorHERLY AFFECTION.

In the reign Of Queene Anne, soldier, be.
longing to the marching regiment which was
quartered in the city Of Worcester, was
taken up for desertlon. and being tried by a
court martial, was sentenced TO be shot. The
Colonel and Lieutenant Colonel being at the
time in London, the commsnd OF the regiment
had descended in course to the Major, most
cruel and inhuman man. The day on which
the deserter was 10 be executed having arri-
we'd, the regiment, as is usual on these occs-
sions, was drawn out TO see the execution.
Il is the custom on these occasions TO draw
lots from the several corporals for this dis.
graceful Office and when every one expected
to see these lots as usual. they we're surpri
sed to find that the Major had given orders
that the prisoner should die by the hand OF
his own brother, who was only private in
the same company and who, when the cruel
order arrived, was taking leave Of his unhap
py brother, and with tears fast flowing, that
expressed the anguish Of his soul, was hanging
for the last time about his neck.
On his knees did the poor fellow beg mat
he might not have a hand in his brothers
death and the poor prisoner. forgetting Tor
the moment his petitions to heaven. begged
TO die by any hands than those Of his brother.
The unrelenting officer, however, could BY no
means be prevailed on TO revoke his cruel
sentence, though entreated TO do so BY every
officer 10 the regiment on the contrary. he
swore that the brother. and he only, should
be the e1ecutioner, Il Il were merely Tor eI-
ample's sake. to make justice appear more
terrible. When much time had been wasted
