The hearl.3' of the stern oldiers were , touched, and they turned away to hide ths tears that coursed down their hardened cheeks. They made inquiries and found that Amy had never known the true character of her husband.' I do not doubt,' remarked one of the ciaeers; ! never saw ea beautiful, and ea innocent a looking head as that severed on the block. What an angel looking being his wife is, and I know she is what she looks to be.' How do you knowl' "remarked one of

the others. Who would "have thought hira a pirate!' When Amy awoke to consciousness. and ihe sad real"ly, she called upon God to take her home to .Lagrange; she wrung her Hub hands, and walked ths mansion; her eyes dry and vacantly staring and then . she seemed to awake. Cut my boy, I must not die! where is he, MonaP She brought him weeping bitterly. All the old servants mourned for their cheerished master. Amy look ed at kin for a moment, and then a sad wail of grief broke from her lips 'my boy! she continued, 'yourname is Harry Lagrauge a pirate's son! Ah, that is a mistake; ha was ray angel that is a mistake, and heaven will punish it. Shs raved end groaned, and walked the house. fler reason was impaired; she cever touched her child, but would look at him and laugh foolishly. .This appeared to grieve the faithful 'dona more than all the rest. Eke was so affraid her reason would- never return. - ' The British flag floated on Lagrange's proud -castle, and Amy was allowed to stay for some months yet, or the o'Heer granted her the privelcge to retain the castle if she would quietly submit to the law the other possessions. "She - would say, 'take all, but let me die here.' The officer wrote to her friends in America without permission, after learning from her who they were, after her mind had partly recovered. Months had flown by, and Amy way recovering from her delirium, and then came sorrow in its worst form. She would weep end clasp her boy-to her bosom,-, and say she would live for him and only him now. Her grief at last settled into a calm steady sorrow. . She never spoka only as spoken to. and then she would answer so mournfully .that the speaker shrank.' After -staying for a time, the ofHcer departed for England, having received d h'lor !"'.:".

She shoowed him ths room. t He stood

with folded arms, and gazed long on lhat-j pale, sorrowful face. ' Ills bosom heaved and - a groan escaped hi-s compressed lips 'oh, my sweet sister, Amy!' She awoke and opened her eyes, languidly looking around; she raised up on her arm and stared upon him as he stood there in silence: My brother! My sister!' Emraet clasped in his arms the falling form of his beloved sister; and angels might weep at the sight. Jesas wept over the grave of Lazarua; hia heart was touched at the grief of the sisters, for their departed brother. And was he their only brother! Oh! great must have been the rrief over an only and beloved brother! " What a blessed name, the name ofbrother. Eo'-v it thrills the heart. 'Their is pride, love, hope, confidence," and 'protection in the name ofbrother. : Bat when bereft of an . only brother on this cold, lonely earth, we almost question the ways of heaven, and say, 'why was not one taken where there were many?

I am happy, for T want to take you in my erms. and soar away, if I had the wings of a dove so I could.' The lovely boy hsngs his head, end played with a chain that was around his ma t neck.
