of young hearts severed, and all the endearing associations of kin and country broken and scattered for ever. The Italians were alwavs peculiarly su-centible to these misfortunes. They loved their native walls, the abodes of their ancestors, the familiar scenes of youth, with all the passionate fcrTour characteristic of that clime. It was, therefore, no uncommon thing for anyone among them, like Foscari of Venice, to prefer destitution and danger in their own city to a precarious subsistence among strangers in distant lands; or, if compelled to quit the beloved precincts of their native walls, still to hover near, ready to avail themselves of the first occasion that should present itself lor reyersinj; the decree that condemned them to misery. For three days and nights there had been warfare in the street of Sienna blood flowed in torrents: yet the cries and groans of the fallen but excited their friends to avenge them; not their foes to spare. On the fourth .morning, Ugo Mancini, with a scanty band of followers, was driven from the town: succours j irm Florence had arrived for his enemies, and he was forced to yield. Burning with rnge, writhing with an impotent thirst for vengeance. Ugo went round to the neighboring villages to rouse them, not against his n;rtive town, but the victorious Tolomei. Unsuccessful in these endeavors, he next took the more equivocal step of seeking warlike aid from the Tisans. But Florrence kept Pisa in check, Ugo found only an inglorious refuge where he had hoped to acquire active allies. He had been wounded in the struggles; but, animated by a superhuman spirit, he had for gotten his pain and surmounted his weakness ; nor was it until a cold relusal was returned to his energetic representations that he sank beneath his suffering. He was stretched on -ti bed of torture Then he received intelligence that an edict of perpftual banishment and confiscation of property was pa.-sed against m. His two children, bcgg':rs nor, vere sent to him. His wife was dead, and i!;e?e were all of near relation he possessed. His bitter feelings were still too paramount for him to receive i comfort from their presence; vet.ihese agitated and burning emotions ap peared :n alter limes a remnant of happiness

compared to the total loss of every hope; the tjie f,lVorcd follower of the German emperor, tf r.stir-g inaction of sickness and of poverty. Such a place, through education and the nat.r five years .Ugo Mancini lay stretched j rai prejudice? of man, did Sienna hold in his roirliis couch, alternating between states of in- i tr,.i x( m Hon, t ha t a lowly condition lhere,scem- , tense pain and overpowering weakness; and Jcti .-7 nobler destiny than to be great in any jihe'i'he died.

Hatred to his foes, and love for his native town, were, the sentiments that possessed his soul, and which he imparted in their full force tothe plastic mind ofhis son, whb h received like molten metal the stamp he desired to impress. Lorenzo was scarcely twelve years old t the period of hi father's exile, and be naterallv turned with fondness towards tinspot where he had enjoyed every happiness, where each hour had been spent in light-hearted hilarifv, and the kit lncs and observance orni.ii.v attemle I on li s steps.

His look was serious- not care worn his manner c:lm, not humble his voice i hau all the tenderness ofa woman; his eye all the pride and fire of a hero. Still his unhappy father wasted away, and Lorenzo's hours were entirely spent beside his bed. lie was indefatigable in his attentions; wearincsss never seemed to come near him.

Lorenzo saw his beloved lather expire his father, whom he loved as a mother loves a sickly infant which she has led from its birth to an carlv five years' old torn!), lie seemed to deposit in his obscure grave all that best deserved reverence and honor in the world; land turning away his steps, he lamented (he sad occupation of so many years, and regret ted the exchange he made from his father's sick bed fo a lonely and unprized freedom. The first use he made of the liberty he had thus acquired, was to return to Sienna with his little sister. lie entered his naliv,e town as if it were a paradise, and he found it a de sert in all save the hues of beauty and delight with which his imagination loved to invest it. There was no one whom he could draw near in friendship within the whole circuit of its walls. According to the barbarous usage ol the times, his fathers palace had been razed, and the mournful ruins stood as a tomb to commomorafe the fall of his fortunes. Not as such did Lorenzo view them; he often stole out at night-fall, when the stars alone beheld his enthusiasm, and, clambering to the highest part of the massive fragments, spent long hours in mentally rebuilding the desolate walls, ana in conceerating once again the weed-grown hearth to family love and hospitable festivity. It seemed to him that the air was more balmy and light, breathed amidst these memorials of the past; and his heart warmed with rapture over the tale they told of what his progenitors had been; what heagain would be. Yet had he viewed his position sanely, he would have found it full of mortification and pain; and he would have become aware that his native town was perhaps the only place in the world where its ambition would fail in the attainment of its aim. The Tolomei reigned over. They had led its citizens to conquest, end enriched them with spoils. They were adored ; and to flatter them, the populace were prone to revile and scofl at the name of Man cini. Lorenzo did not possess one friend within its walls: he heard the murmur of ha tred as he passed along, and beheld his cne mics raised to the pinnacle; of power and hon or; and yet, so strangely framed is the human heart, that he continued to love Sienna, and would not have exchanged his obscure and penurious abode witb'm its walls to become 1 1 . . 1 inthienrp nvcr his ilarkenrd onrs. He dedicated his whole heimr fo this ,v. .,a w ,t;.l doubt hiiMhat he should SiKicec d. The house of Tolomei had for it chief a youth but a year cr two older than himflf; with him, when 'an opportunity should prensent itself, he would enter the list. It seemed the bounty of Providence that gae him one so nearly equal with whom to contend ; anil during the interval that must elapse before they could clash, he was busv in educating himself for the struggle. Count Fabian del Tolomei bore the reputation of being a youth full of promise and tal F-nf: and Lorenzo was glad to anticipate a wcrthv antagonist.

It was only loftier foes approached that his brow grew dark, that he drew himself tip to his full height, repaying their scorn with glances of defiance and hale. But although he was ready in his own person to encounter the contumely of his townsmen, and walked on with placid mien regardLas of their "Miners, he carefully guarded his little sister from such scenes.

M,c lovely child, who looked up o him with eyes- expressive of unutterable af-,-rtion. In the who.'.? wo'U, Flora knew none to love except her brother :-,c was ,lis junior bv ncarlv seven years: she hau r"roVu under his eyes from infancy ; and while he aitended on the sick bed of their father, he was father, he was father, brother, tutor, guardian to Flora; the fondest mother could not have been more indulgent; and yet there was mingled a something beyond, pertaining to their difference of sex. Uniformly observant and kind, he treated her as ifshe had been a high born damsel, nurtured in her gayest bower. Her attire was simple but thus, she was instructed, it benefitted every damsel to dress; her needle-works were such as a princess might have emulated; and while she learnt under her brothers tutelage to be reserved, studious of obscurity, and always occupied, she was taught that such were the virtues becoming her sex, and no idea of dependence or penury was raised in her mind. Had he been the sole human being that approached her, she might have believed herself to be on a level with the highest in the land; but coming in contact with dependants and various fe males in the humble class of life. Jtlora be came acquainted with her true position, and learnt at the same time, to understand and ap prcciate the unequalled kindness ofherbro ther, and to regard his virtues as superhuman. Two years passed away while this brother and sister continued, in obscurity and poverty to cherish the dearest blessing of lite, hope honor, and mutual love- If an anxious tho't ever entered Lorenzo, it was for the future des tiny of Flora, whose beauty as a child gave promise of perfect loveliness hereafter. For her sake he wa3 anxious to begin the career he had marked out for himself, and resolved no longer to delay his endeavours to revive his party in Sienna, and to seek rather than a void any contest with the young count Fabian, on .whose overthrow he would rise count Fa bian the darling of the citizens, vaunted as a model for a youthful cavalier, overflowing with good qualities, and so adorned by gallantry, subtle wit, and gay, winning manners, that he stepped by right ofnature as wen as birth, on the pedestal which exalted him the idol of all around. It was on a day of pablic feasting that Lorenzo first presented himself in rivalship with Fabian. His person wai unknow to the count who, in all the pride of rich dress and splendid accoutrements, looked down with a smile of patronage on the poorly mounted and plainly attired youth, who presented himself to run a tilt with him. But before the challenge was accepted, the name ofhis antagonist was whispcrhd to Fabian; then, all the bitterness engendered by family feuds, and all the spirit of vengeance, which had been taught as a religion, arose al once in the young noble's heart he wheeled round his steed, and riding rudely up to his competitor, ordered him instantly to retric from the course, nor dare to disturb the revels of the citizens by the hated presence of a Mancini. Lorenzo answered with an equal scorn; and Fabian, governed by uncord rollahln passion, railed together his followers to drive the youth with ignominy from the If-ts. A fearful array was mustered again. I tin: hateful intruder: but Ln.I Ihciniumber been trolled, the lowering spirit of Lorenzo had ttvt them all. (Vie fell another was disabled by his weapon, be for" he wa disarmed and made prisoner; but his bravery did not avail to extract admiration from his prejudiced foes; thev rather poured execrations on him for its disastrous, effects, as they hurried him fo a dungeon, and called loudly for his punishment and death. Far from this scene of turmoil and bloodshed, in her poor but quiet chamber in a re 'note part of the town, fat Flora, ocupird by her embroidery musing, asshe work d,on her brother's project, and anticipating his success. Hours passed, and Lorenzo did not return. the day declined, and still he tarried. Flora's busy fancy forged a thousand causes for (he delay. H'-r brother's prowess had awaked the chilly zeal of the p irtiz ms of their family ; he was doubtless feasti ng amo.ig Lhem,

She heard one. addressed as count l abiau: she involuntary drew ncic with in stinctive hate; and then rushed forW.Td and threw herself at the horse s feel, extlaiiii.'ng 'Save my brother!'' The young cavalier reined up shortly his prancing steed, angrily reproving her for her heedlessness, and, with out deigning another word, entered the courlyard. lie had not, perhaps, heard her pray er; he could not sec the suppliant, he spoke, but in the impatience of the moment; but the poor child, deeply wounded by what had the appearance ofa personal insult, turned proud ly from the door, repressing the bitter tears that filled her eyes. Still she walked on ; but night took from her every chance of finding her way to the prison, and she resolved to return home, to engage one of the women of the house, of which she occupied a part, to accompany her. But even to find her way back beccame matter of difficulty; and she wanderdered on, discovering no clue to guide her, and far too timid to address any one she might chance to meet. Fatigue and personal fear were added to her other griefs, and tears streamed plentifully down her checks as she continued her hopeless journey. At length, at the corner of a street, she recognized an image of the Madonna in a niche, with a lamp burning over if, familiar to her recollection as being near home. With characteristic piety she knelt before it in thankfulness, and was offering a prayer for Lorenzo, when the sound of steps made her start up, and her brother s voice hailed, and her brother's arms encircled her; it seemed a miracle, but he was there, and all her fears were ended. Lorenzo anxiously asked whither she had been straying; her explanation was soon giv en; and he in return related the misfortunes of the morning the fate that impended over ,: . . j . . J .

and with feminine care, Flora placed a sim ple repast before her brother, and then employed herself very busy in making various packages. Lorenzo paced the room, absorb ed in thought; at length he slopped, and kissing the fair girl, said, "Where can I place thee in safety? how preserve thee my flower of beauty, while we are divided?" Flora looked up fearfully. ' Do I not go with you''' she asked ; " I was making prepartions for our journey." " Impossible, dearest; I go to privation and hardship." " And I would share them with thee."
