' Baron T kept his promise. The name of the Countess nev cr fell from his lips; and though a secret sorrow likewise praved on him; although the wasted form of his once so much loved sister floated in bis sight, yet he assumed a cheerful look, awl together with his brother, rushed from one vortex of dissipation into another. One day they happened to be
sauntering in an open walk in the city where noblemen and ben
gers, and persons of every descrip
tion promiscuously paraded ; suddenly the Count espied a
priest, pale, emaciated, and sun-
porting himself upon a stick.
Heavens ! cried he see. that is
Amelia's confessor. '
Baron T. started, looked fear
fully towards him. and was si
lent : 'Come dear TV said Gus

him that I am well acquainted with every particular He will
not acknowledge any thing, but

As yet the Count was stretched upon the cat th sobbing asking whether she could ever forgive him She embraced him toruave him attcmp'ed to raixs him in vain he saw her wan disfigured countenance and buried his own in dust. Amelia at last knelt at his side, clasped him in her aims with heart felt alVcctiun. and mixed her tears with his.

Scarcely had Gustavus recovered his faculties, when he called

The horsr-; nrrived at the door; he rushed down the steps, threw himself upon one off 'em, and galloped away, without looking behind him, or asking whether his brother would accompany him.
