' Naturally studious and thoughtful, Silas pre ferred poring over a book to out-door pleas ures, or such social intercourse as the broth er's position afforded. Not that he disdained • the latter, for lie was impressienable, and ap, probative; but an unconquerable timidity ho •lotiging to a highly neryous organization, made him shyn.nd self-distrustful in company. Then, ten, lie merciless theology, so carelessly - ignored by:Ma : o,llnd VirrAlly poisoned the younger' man's healthy intellectual existence. Mere temporal pjeasuros could offer little'at traction to a mind foreyfr% broodiug'on things eternal.. His taste for reading found no moro whale- „ some aliment than the writings of the Puritan• divines of the lost generation—a 'literature justly Characterized as •mhogether unique". and terrihle. Devouring these in theabsenco • of i leetter mental food, accepting their 'testi melti, at first, without question, Silatt's exis tencalrom his boyish days had been overshad-, owed by'one great fear=that of eternal pertli• tion. Too timid to arrogate' to himself that • miraculoutichangegf heart without experienc ing which he believed that all were under the , just sentence of a wrathful God, he suffered 'horribly, suffered to a degree of intensity only conceivable to one of his organization. In time,the inevitable reaction came, producing at first repulsion and revolt, theil dbubt and inquisition: Like the evil spirit in the para. 4 , blo, he journeyed through dry places without • finding rest ; •presently embarking on the bit• ter waters of the Dead- Sea of unbelief with no better pilots than Paine and Voltaire, he rend their works in secret and fancied him self an infidel From , olo extreme of gloomy superstition to negation is not an uncommon nor an unnatural transition ; Silos Made it with fear and ttembling; the hereditary faith. quittetLitim only after a long struggle, the miserable particulars of which maybe hung- Med. Perhaps it never entirely relinqUished its hold upon bin . lloth the brothers bailed their eniencipstion from-the restraints of_home-vrith the greater-because their, uncle's household presented the very converse of it. Though a nominal professor of the family creed, he was one of tile jolliest, Most; genial of rich old b.ochelers. lie went to thotheatre,.readnov els,-and gave dinner parties, delighting on all occasions to surround himself with - young and mirthful faces. His secret sympathy for hid nephews hell made him stipulate for. their changemf residence ns the price of.his testa mentary Caper, While his judgment indicated . the necessity of qualifying them for their fu ture career. The removal was only ,Aeum plished after a lengthy negotiation, i%il,"nts aforesaid, when Mark and Silas had nearly, attained manhood., I- For Me illitALD In their uncle's house they enjoyed an, a mount of personal freedom and consideration at once novel and delightful, and naturally made themselves. amends for old repression after their separate fashioni. Mark, always his uncle's favorite, became a general one ; his good looks, good nature. and healthy ap petite for pleasure secured him a welcomeeve rywhere.' , Silos, too shy to mix in society, yet commanded and appreciated intellectual gratifications. Three years.of town residence converted the elder brother into a dashing, 'free•handed, and universally popular Now. Yorker; the younger into a pvlished, fastidi ous, serious and sensitive gentleman. They loved each other fraternally, Mark alloying his authority with a 'Spice of big-brotherly, but respecting his mental pre•eminence ; Silas. an admiration of his brother's exuberant which accepted and even enjoyed such harmless manifestations of it. Such were the brothers' mutual relations when their uncle's house received—two new instates, me the innocent cause of the crime foreshadowed bathe introduction to thin narra tive. An old schoolmate and friend of their uncle came to Now York with his only daughter, re turning from two years of European travel. Ile was the oilier of a Louisiana cotton plan tation, and returning in the month of June, willingly 'postponed his departure fort he Soul It until the summer's heat should have abated, accepting in t he meantime the hearty old Niche.- lor's hospitality, and resolving with him on a tour to the watering places. Thi s project the daughter's presence rendered doubly agrcon. ble to the old gentleman; she had been a childish pet of his, and time had only develop ed her beauty uttd attractiveness. Shn.was 'a tall, black haired girl, with great dark eyeS, which, when her intellect and feel ings wore in genial flow, sparkled wita a brown splendor at once dazzling and beautiful, but could look grave an it kind enough on occasion.

' lie had the surfacequalities which attract women and . more.' She never suspected the passion of the younger brother. His shyness had always kept: him in the, back•groundin feittale society, notwithstanding a strong secret attachment toward it.. He was now brought into daily communion with a girl lof rare beauty, refinement and intellect— one whose high souled Womanlities. npproaclied, his ideal conception of the sex, whose charac ter bore the test 'of his-OPeoblative and'analy tical disposition.

It wanted an - hour of midnight, wh lie found himself at the foot,of the Tee • ran Tower, leaning 'on the hand rail of the b Age, looking down at the Hurse-shoo Fall. The• night was very beautifol,•and a psie lunar rainbow; like the ghost of a solar one, flick ered and quivered and waned, now distinct; now definable, over. the vortex below. ' Presently he hearth and recognized tip proachinglootsteps, but did not turn his head until a hand was laid on his shoulder and Mark et Ood beside him. lie had . come to .seek him. Flushed with happiness, possessed by a delicious unrest . which made sleep impossible, on his-fair coin panion's retiring for the night be had inquired foi his brother, and pot finding hint at tile hotel, returned to Goat 'lsland. The place was a favorite haunt . of Silas's nocturnally— it sulted his disposition. Mark was exultant, talkative; he admired the scenic, rallied his brother on his liking forsolitude, laughed, and plopped him on alto shotilder, A-sense of tripmph, of eiultation, had gut:weeded his first glow otpassiOnate de• - %toilet', and, like all men of sanguine tempera MOM, he yearned for a friend to whom lie could confide his secret. Silos kneiv this and what was coming, but dreaded its disclosure with a feanindesoribable_ in.ilajntensity —a fear, perhaps prophetic of the linal result ; As if to avoid it by a channel' position, he strol led toward the platform of the towerand pres ently dropped from it to the rocks below. M,tm'l followed him. •- Very soon it came. With all the bigh.struog enthusiasm of an liedent nature, fired by sue• cess, Mark spoke °flits happiness and of the future. of love and prosperity before him, praising the goodness anti beauty of.his chosen wife. ilia words were tender enough; but in place of the delicious humility characterizing the highest order of affection of man for wo man—that which makes it akin-to religion in its infinitesimal estimate of the value of self, and exultant of the desired object—there was the mere transparent passion. Silas, listen ing with a sickened heart, ,contrasted it with that within Ms own . bosetn; and felt; with tC pang of unutterable noise - ry, how . immensuin bly higher lie had rated her—how much lower his own pretensions. • ' lie made - nn attempt at congratulating his brother, the manner of which might have ex• cited surprise had the latter's high spirits ad mitted of any thing but the contemplation of hie own felicity. Then Mark began to speak of her regard and respect for Silas; adding. jestingly, that she had professed so.rouch ,that were kis brother not .811Clil an inevitable old bachelor, he should have beou inclincd . to con gratulate himself on speaking first, and thus toeing a wile in. a sister-io•law. The words were spoken idly, out of sheer lightness of hear:, but tired Silas's brain and made him . , stagger as with "vertigo. Might that have been? could he 'lilies woo her? was he a wretched fool who had lost the prize from lack of courage in avowing himself? It was all over now, nail hers was Mark erect and triumphant. .11c had leaped on a great boulder on the verge of the rapids and was .defying the cataract, declaring that he had dear . cause to love life now—that ho had never lovdd it • more! Then a dreadful temptation came into Silas's heart. ‘ , ..tlinthe restrained It for one moment —hid he - paused to think, to repel the busy devil that urged him oa, he might have con quer Ml. But Ire did not. With.set teeth and a face in which passion, culminating in tem porary insanity, had blanched to an awlal whiteness, he rushed forwUrd and puelled his brother violently in the back. It was done iu a second. Mark had no time to cry out before he found Limeelf 14:ruggljngjn the hor ribly swift, smooth wafer 'aild'boru irresisti bly .to ward the edge of the caturnct, but a few yards distanae..

He was never suspected. No eyes. but his had witnessed the deed, no heart distrusted him.

Hour after hour, day after day, night after night he. pondered on it, always starting with the assurance of its being his inevitable destiny. His remorse, he thought, was not repentance: that , involved confession and the acceptance of punishment, which ho could not bring himself to undergo.
