and I would oppose to those baneful, hut evanescent emotions, my own purity of intention und rectitude of heart!
Proparation.s for the marriage were in progress. Instructions had been issued for the settlements— and thc ceremony stood fixed for thc day on which mji brother should attain his majority. The feel¬ ings of my mind strangely harmonized widi the season of the year. It was far advanced in antumn, Iho ti'ccs wore almost stripped of their foliage, the dew lay thick upon the grass, tho landscape was en¬ tirely ^.hroudcd with vapor, excepting whore a soli¬ tary sunbeam seemed to struggle wilh the mist— tlie woods were silent, and not a single sign of life enlivened the monotomy of thc scene, save where thc dusky livery of a huge old fir was contrasted hy Ihc brilliant berries of thc mountain ash. It was nature in hor sepulchre.
My brother challenged me to walk, on a morning cheerless and gloomy as that whicii I havo been de¬ scribing ; I wns sure thc invitation contemplated some particular object. Nor was I mistaken. He aiinonnccd lo mc, in form, his intended marriage— spoke to mc most confidentially, most unreservedly —unfolded all his plana for thc present, his pros- pccl»/or tho future—apprised mc in the most deli
right to make to a younger brother's poriion—and
again and again assured inc that neidicr time nor
circumstances could effect the slightest diminution
in his love.
Engaged in earnest conversaiion, wc had reached
a ravine in the grounds.    It was a spot sad and sol
itary, but wild and picturesque in the extreme.   Ivy
mantled its sides in some places, and in others oaks I
and holly-bushes, whoso roots found nourishment
in the crcviscs of tho rock, excluding the light of tho

Surrounded with every bicssing which existence can afford—possessing prospects of a brilliant, nny, almost unrivalled nature—few entered lids chequer¬ ed scene of being with grealer advantages dian my¬ self. It is truo that the lapse of a few short years made mc on unconscious orphan. But by a kind and watchful guardian and his sister, who had been my mother's early friends, their place was most affec¬ tionately supplied; and of such a brother as I pos¬ sessed few could boast. He was eighteen monlhs older than myself, and though in our pursuits and tastes, and turns of thought, an essential dilfencnce was preccptible, wc wero warmly and devoutly at¬ tached. Alone in thc world, wc clung to each other wiUi an intensity of afl'ection whicb orphans only can feel. I will describe him—though it cost mc a bitter pong. More sedate, moro reflecting, more refined and highly cultivated thnn myslf, wilh a mind slightly tinged with melancholy, nnd deeply but unafl'cctedly impressed by tbe great truths of re¬ ligion, hu exhibited a character remarkable for men¬ tal energy, when excited, hut which took rorc and sparing interest in ordinary occurrences.

ter.   Its depth even at thc side, was upwards of fifteen fcet.
Heedlessly loitering on tho brink, and pointing to sonie recent improvements, my brother fullered and fell into die flood. The slightest nioUon on my part would have saved hiin—thc least effort, with¬ out incurring ahy danger to myself, would have been sufficient to avert his fate—the very sapling which lay on thc grass beside mc, hud it been guided to his grasp, would have drawn him to the brink. I stood molionlcss I Thc feelings of a fiend rushed upon mc and prevailed. Twice he rose and strug¬ gled manfully with th.e torrent. I saw his face al¬ most black with agony. I caught his eyes fixed full upon mc with an expression pf anxiety, of entreaty.

powerful reasons, independent of my passionate at¬ tachment to infancy. I was anxious beyond des¬ cription for a living, repiesciitativc. Years rolled on.   I was childless!
Conscience gradually icsumcd her sway. Thc figure of my drowning brodicr pursued mc like a phadow. Night nnd day, at home and nbrond, in society and solitude, his image stood before mc. My hcaUh began to show symptoms of decay. Medical science was resorted to. My attendants pronounced mo nervous—hypocondrical—recommended change of nir, of scene—hurried mc off to Brighton, to Cheltenham—and prescribed " tonic medicine and nutritious diet 1"
Pshaw! I despised their prognosticE. I laughed to scorn their sclf-sulficicnt ignorance, and Ihc con¬ fidence with which Ihey boasted of their abilily to cure. My malady was beyond their art, and I knew iL My symptoms were a woundeil conscience— my sufl'erings arose from the anguish of remorse— my feverish days and rostlcsB nights had their origin in those bittor feelings of self-reproach, which bke the vulture of Prometheus, pruycd unceasing upon my vitols, ond wero bul loo lively an emblem of tho worm that never dies.
After a melancholy sojourn at Mulvorn, Harrow- gnto, Buxton, and half a dozen other places siicrod to tolly nnd fashion, I returned loMountsCcId, widi o decided increase of malady.    It had now reached iUch a height that I was unable lo encounter a hu¬ man eye.    Sleep forsook inc.    That clear, sweet, ice forever rang in my curs.   1 beard it above the swell ofllio pealing organ—above die waves of thc ocean, ns thoy rolled in Uiundcr on the shore— the silence of midnight—in the glare of noonday in tho song—in Ihc dance; go where I would, slill an invisible monllur sounded in my cars, "Henry, dear Henry, suvo mc, save mc!"
I endeavored to soothe my wounded spirits by acts of unbounded charity. I would I'ain have liri- Iicd Heaven by acls of thc most cxtrnsivo benevo¬ lence. To thc needy, tlic suffering, the aged, and the deceased, I dispensed my weallh liberally, largely. AIns! light where it would, il seemed followed by a curso ! The objeeis of my bounty pioved unworthy or ungrateful, or iinposlcrs or im¬ portunate. Few, very few, appeared on examina¬ tion, deserving or necessitous. And thc blessings which these invoked on my head seemed, lo my distempered imugination, expressions of thc bitter¬ est derision, and thc hcarlfeU uspirutions which tlicy uttered, " that I might never know whnt sor¬ row waa," seemed the exultation of a fiend Uiut mocked at my culamiiy, anu laugncu at iiiy uesjmir. Months I hud continued in thia feverish state of being, when on incident occurred wliich diverted tho current of my thoughls, and had afterwards a very metcriul inlluence upon my destiny. In one of my solitary rambles Uirough Ihc Park, I found a lit¬ tle boy, cold, hungry, almost destitute of clothing, watching, widl the most affectionate solitude, und weeping over a dying mother. She wa.s a soldier's wife, who, Iiaving lost her husband, was returning to her native vilhige, when disease and wnnt had arrested her progress. She was indeed hastening to her final home. Her litUc companion—I may say comforter—was a manly looking boy of five years old, with a face which had, wiUiout exception, the finest, the softest, sweetest expression I ever saw.— He wos siUing by her side with a look of childish, helpless anguish, and Uic tone in which his lillle clear voice murmured. ' Don't cry, mother, don't cry,' as he wiped Ihc dumps of death from her brow, touched a heart cold, churlish, and insensible as mine.
She was caiefully removed to the house. Every remedy that expense could suggest, every comfort that wealth could procure, wns afforded her. It availed but little. Bealh would not bc cheated of his prey, and his approach became hourly nioie per¬ ceptible. The little mourner watched every turn of her disorder wiUi a giistcning eyo and quivering lip, sat hour nfter hour wilh his lilllc hands clasped in her's; and when tho last struggle camo on, and we forcibly excluded him from the chamber, he fixed
would brave him!    I could not.    I was at church ^ for thc last time.
My malady now returned with tenfold violence, I was unable to bear Use presence even of my own servants. I insisted upon lheir never presuming to¬ look at nie as lliey waited ut dinner—upon their eye constantly and invariably shunning niinc. • I wilt not.' suid I, wilh the tone and gesture of a mddmon, •bc bearded by mcniiils inmy own hall.' 'Ilut consider, my love,' said Lady Moyston, *th« end¬ less and unaccountable constructions which such a command would bear.' 'No mntter,' snid I, with increasing vehemence, 'Iwill bo obeyed.' 'Cer¬ tainly, Henry,' was Adda's mild reply. * Certain¬ ly—your will, you know, is ever mine. Suppose, then, wc dispense wilh Uielr uUendnnce nltogcthcr; I, myself,' said slie. with her own sweet siiuIe, 'will w-ait upon you. Will you accept of me for n cilp- liearerl' The idea pleusfd inc.

Marciiis, for so I had named Uic little orphon, was now eighteen. In him I fancied I should find ut ample recompense for the bitter disappoinimenl, vexation and cliagrin, wliich had attended aU my schemes of benevolence. Oh he did promise fair I In attainments, in disposition, in person, nnd 'ltt manner, he w-as all thai I coulil wish. Hourly did I congratulate myself upon lhe incident w-hich hail enabled me to foster such gencrosily of character, such originality of mind. I was anxious he should near mo. I urged him to direit bis dioughts to¬ wards the church. In him 1 fell assumed my fancy porirail of the country clergyman would find a liv¬ ing illuslration. 'Twas not to be! Tho ' plumed troop and spirit-stirring drum' had captivated hi» young nnd urdcnt temperament, and 1, unwillhig to lliwart his choice, inteiested myself in procuring hiin a commission. I wus successful. The con¬ scientious, but not slavish adherence with wliich our fainily had fat years supported government meas¬ ures, was admitted and acknowledged; and, after a Utile delay, I received a letter acquainting me that
an cnsigncy in thc foot was at my service,
.'Vs early in thc morning ns I fell myself equal to the interview, I iiuninioncd Marcius lo hear Ihc grat¬ ifying inUilligence. He came nol. Anollicr mes¬ senger was di'spalcbcd. There wns an unusual delay—n licsit.ition—an embarrassment I could neither understood nor tolerate. I got irritated, i was Uien told Ihat Mr. Drcstfnrd was now hero to I..'riintiil. Afii-r nn uitcrval. leamt that hehad quitted Mountsficld iminediaiely after breakfast— and, at Inst, that Lndy Mnysion hud accompanied him ! My cup of sorrow was now filled to the brim. Thc curse of a justly ofl'i.ndcd God was tracking my footsteps. His wrath hud overruled my darluig project—crushed my prudent hopes. The only be¬ ings that loved mo, Ihat cured for me, had abandon¬ ed me to my l'.ite. I was now to struggle alone, unpilied nnd unhccdi'd, into my grave.
She leftme; but I will not Hume hor. Kind, light-hearted, afl'ectionate being, how could I expect she would love one so gloomy, eo churlish, so selfish and misanthropic as myscll ! No, no, I will not blame her. 1 deserved her not. Standing on the brink cf etcn'.ily.
