._ THE BROTHERS.
, , From ‘the German qf'S’chillic7_‘. _ _
' The folloiviiig anecdotes oftwo Germans,
{with a prourl joy I do say it) has one indisput-
able merit—it is trrie. I hope it may instil-
inore warmth in my readers, than all the vol_--
umes of Grandisou or ofPamela.
_ Two Bi-‘ditiers, -Barons of W ,\"~'erein_
love with ayoung and excellent lady, and nei-
ther was acquairited with the passion ‘oftlie
‘other. The affection ofboth was tender and
jt‘elienient—it was their first; the maiden was
beautiful, and formed for sensibility. They
suffered their inclinations to increase to the
utmost bounds, for the danger the most dread-
ful to their hearts was unknowri to them, to
grave a brjother for a rival. Each forcbore an
‘early explanation with the lady, and thus were
both deceived ; until an unexpected occur-
rence dis‘covei"e’d the whole secret oftlieir sen-
timents. _ .
Their love had already risen its utmost
iieiglit: that most unhappy passion, wluch
has catiscd almost as cruel ravages as itstTr'eatl-
ful counterpart, had taken such ‘complete pos-
session oftlieir li‘eat'ls, as to render a sacrifice
‘on either side impossible. The fair one full
of coiiimiseratioii for the unhappy situation
‘oftliese two unfortunates, would not decide
upon the ‘exclusion of either but submitted
her own feelings to the decision oftlicir broth-
'crly love. Conqueror in this doubtful strife,
betwixt duty and sentitnent, which our plu-
los'opliers are always so ready to decide, but
"which the practical man undertakes ‘so slowly,
the elder brother said to the youngest, ‘I know
thou lovest the maiden as veliemently as my-
iself‘. I will tint ask for which of _us a priority
ofright should determine. Do thou remain
here whilst I seek the wide world. I am wil-
ling to die, that I may forget her. Ifsucli be
my fate, brother, then she is thine and may
heaven bless thy love! Should I not meet
witli d'cath, do"-thou set out and follow my ex-
:irnple."~——He left Germany, and hastened
to Holland; but the form of his beloved still
follow‘-cr.l him. Ii‘~.r from the climate which
s,li‘einh'-.bited, banislied from the spot which
‘eoiitaincd the whole felicity of his heart, in
which alone he was able to exist, the unhappy
youtii sickened,-—as the plant withers which
is ravi:-lied from its maternal bed in Asia by
the powerful European, and forced from its
more clement sun into a remote and rougher
soil. He reached Amsterdani in a despond-
irig condition, where he fell ill ofa violent,
dangerous fever. The form of her he lo-ved,
predominated in his frantic dreams ; his health
depended on her possession. The physicians
were in doubt of his life, and nothing but the
assurance ofbeing restored again to her, res-
cued hitri from the arrps of death. He arriv-
ed in his native city changed to a skeleton,
the most dreadful image of consuming grief,
and with tottering steps reached the door of
his belovcd—ofliis brother.
‘Brother, behold me once again. Heaven
knows how I have strove to subdue the emo-
tions of my heart. I can do no more.’
He sunk senseless into the la‘dy’s arms.
The younger brother was no less determiu_-
ed. In a few weeks he was ready to set otit.
‘ Brother, thou carriedst thy grief with thee
to Holland. I will endeavor to bearniine far-
ther.—Lead not the maiden to the altar until
I write to thee. Fraternal love alone perniits
Such a :=ftI'pulatiori. Should I be more fortu-
nate than thou' ivert, hi the name of God let
her be tliirie, and may heaven prosper the u-
tiion. Should I not,may the Almighty inthat
case judge further between us! Farewell.-
Take this sealed packet; do not open" it until
lam far from hence. I am going to Batavia.’
He then sprung into the coach. The other
retnaincd rnoticiiless, and absorbed in grief,
for his brother had surp'._issed him in generos-
ity. Love, and at the same time,-tlie sorrow
oflosing such a man, rushed forcibly upon his
mind. The noise oftlie flying vehicle pierced
him to the heart-—his life was feared. Thr-
lady--but no! ofher I nnrst not yet speak.
The packet was opened. It contained a
complete assignment ofall of his Germari
possessions to his brother, in the event of for-
tune being favorable to the fugitive in Batavia.
The latter, subduer of himself, sailed with
sortie Dutch merchants, and arrived safely at
that place. A few weeks, he sent his brother
the following lines: ,
‘Here,whereI return thanks to the Aluiigh-
ty, here, in another world, do I think of thee,
and ofour loves, with all the joy ofa martyr.
N w scenes and events have expanded my
soul, and God has given rtie strength to offer
the greatest sacri_fice to friendship«—the maid-
en—God ! here a tear doth fall-—the last—I
have conquered, the maiden is thine. Broth-
‘er, it was not ordained tliatI should possess
her: and she would not have been happy with
me‘. I-fthc thought should ever come to her,
that she would have been—Brother! b_rotlier!
ryitli‘ difficulty do I tear her from my soul.-
Do not forget lioiv hard the attainment ofher
has‘ been to thee. Treat her always as thy
'outhful passion at present teaches thee.——
reat’ her always as the dear legacy ofa bro-
ther, whom thy arms will never more enfoltl.
Farewell! Do not write to me when thou
celebratest thy marriage-—niy wounds still
bleed. VVrite to me that thou art happy.-—
My deed is a surety to me, that God will not
forsake me in a foreign world.’
, The nuptials were celebrated. The most
felicitous of marriages lasted a year. At the
end o'f that period, the lad_v died. In her ex-
piring moments, she acknowledged to her
most intimate friend the unhappy secret of
her bosom—the exiled brother she had loved
the strongest. Both brothers still live. The
elder upon his estates in Gertnagy, where he
has married again. The younger remains in
Batavia, and has become a fortunate and shin-
lug character. He made a vow never to mar-
ty and has kept it.

nnscniivriox or cart. MINA-.
, “ Mina is a well made man, offlorid com-
plexion, robust, and about 5 feet 8 inches high,
\
tive. ‘His -officers, never, by any accident,
know where he _intend_s ,t_o._ inarcli ;_wlien_least
expected, he -places liitiiself at the lie‘ad_ of his
men, saying, ‘~Fol_low rue Efland often rmrrclies
ing horses or men any ‘refresb"mje’nt.
“ When ‘a voluiiteerwjoiiis Mina,
allowed to bring any thing but a,‘pair_:of san-
dals, half stockings, breechesvand -jacket.-—
Mina himself never wears boots or ball‘-boots‘,
but sandals, in order more easily to escape by
clinibrng up the side ‘of niountarnsif he gets
knocked oil’ his horse. He has several times
saved himself miraculously in this way.
“ Mina is brave to a degree that is incredi-
ble, and has a most powerful “arm with the
sword. He never allows gaming eitlier_among
the otiicers or soldiers ; he never takes a regu-
lar bred ofiiccr into his corps. He says, ‘they
pretend to have too mtrnli tltetii'y,and fail in
all their attempts.’ Mina hasa pertectknowl-
edge ofthe whole country, and all the passes
of the nroiintaiiis, and whenever it is n’ecessa-
ry, he disperses his people, appointing a par-
ticular spot at some distance glfflto meet at ;
during the war he has practice tiis manoeu-
vre frequently and with great success. His
corps is by no means numerous, but be Is not
anxious to increase its numbers ; he is not vain,
and says fairly, that he can manage a select
few better than a large number. \Vheu a
youth wishes to enlist in the cavalry, after be-
ing examined by Mimi, and questioned,‘ he
calls for the commanding officer oftlie infan-
try, and says, ‘This boy wishes to serve in
the cavalry, take him first with you, and let
me know how he behaves.’ The first action
they are engaged in, this Captain, who coin-
mands tlie infatftry, and is on liorseback,keeps
the boy close to him during the whole of the
action, and watches narrowly liow_lie behaves,
and after having been four times in ttCllQt1,.ll
he rlistinguislies lillnSelf,'IEll1t3 lC'rl(pla_lfi grmlgs
him to Mina, and says, ‘ us a W1 0, ie
is worthy to die for his country.’ Mina then
rumislres him with arms and a horse, closely
watcliing him himself, to see how he behaves.
By these riieans his corps is composed of the
most intrepid &:determined Spaniardsliving.’
A London paper makes the folluwling :&l_di-
tional remarks. It is well known tiat L ina.
contrived in the last war to keep togetlier a
larger body of men than any leader in Spain,
to baffle for years the repeated eiiorts oi the
most skilful leaders ofthe French——takc cori-
voys, destroy columns, hesiege castles, and
make hiinscll, as the Spaniards called him,
king ofNavarrc,iti the verytceth ofl\_:apolcon’s
power and on the very frontiers o_fl<_rarice.
Miriai is now in the scene of his lornier ex-
ploits. Surrounded by hostile armies_during
the last war, his deeds were btit known in part.
How often were corps of from 16 to 20,000
men rapidly formed by the French, in order
to overwlielrn him! They never could bring
him to action. They covered l\avarre and
Arragon, too, with castles, "as they did the rest
of Spain, on the system oftlie Moors. Illllllé:

trenches, made breaches, stormed and carried
their forts. Mina had his battering guns trio,
in the last war. Tlicy were biirred in tie
mmmrains when in danger ; they were distri-
terred when wanted.
Bor'.rta.u'E.-—~Tliis celebrated physician and
scholar, ordered in his will that all his books
and riiaiiusciipts should be burnt, one large
volume with gilt leaves and silver clasps alone
excepted. The medical people flocked to
Leyderi and entreated his executors to diso-
bey his will. The effects were sold. A Ger-
man Count, supposing that the great gilt book
contained thewhole arcainim ofphysic,bought
it for ten, thousand guiidcrs. It was found liow-
ever, on being opened, to be all blank but the
first page, _ori which was written these words,
“ -Keep the head cool, the feet zmrm, and the
body open, and bid defiance to the pIiysz'cians.”
Debtor and C-reditor in Paris.-—-'l.‘lie follow-
ing article, taken from the Journal de Paris,
strikingly shows the injustice of those laws
wliicli give the creditor so nitich power over
his debtor, and subjects the unforttuiate to
punislimeiits more severe than are inflicted on
the guilty.
‘ A respectable physician had contracted a
debt of 9,000 francs, which a heavy loss ren-
dered li-ini unable to pay. His creditor prose-
cuted liiiii. The attorney and the bailitf, in
tliscliarging their respective duties, observed
all the delicacy and moderation which were
due to a man whom no misconduct had placed
in so disagreeable a situation, and they would
have granted him sortie intlulgcnces. The
creditor, however, was inexorable, an insist-
ed that they should proceed with all the rigor
of the law. On learning this deterriiiriation,
the wife of the physician was seized with par-
alysis. Her distracted liusband solicited a de-
lay ofa few hours that he might have time to
apply to one of his friends, a wealthy banker.
The bailiff took upon himself to grant this
request; but, unfortunately, the banker had
gone to the country. The bailiff was then 0-
bliged to obey the orders oftlie creditor, and
to execute the writ. VVitli much regret, he
proceeded to perform this duty, niidiiis ap-
pearancc made such a terrib e impression on
the Dr. that he fell dead before him. Greatly
moved, the bailiff withdrew without doing any
thing, and the attorney approved of his con-
duct: Two hours after, the wife oftlie physi-
cian, being inforriied of the irreparable loss
she had sustained, also expired.
But what adds to the fatality of these de-
plorable events, is, that while they were pass-
ing, the banker returned from the country.—
On learning the request which had been made
by the doctor, he hastened to grant it, and or-
dered one of his clerks immediately to carry
to him the 9,000 francs. Unfortunately the
relief came too late! On entering the apart-
iiient,the awful spectacle was presenled to the
clerk of the lifeless body of the man whose
sorrows lie was sent to remove, and near it he
beheld the body of the pbysician’s wretched
spouse also deprived of existence. The sight
struck him with horror.
This is not all ;the bailiff, who was affected
in all his faculties by the shock he had sustain-
ed, no sooner got liorne than he was struck
with a nervous apoplexy. For twenty-four
hours his life was despaired of. and his death
would have been inevitable had he not obtain-
ed the most prompt, assiduous, and skilful as-
sistance. He is still very unwell. ,
These facts are strictly true. We make no
reflection ; that duty we leave to creditors who

dies of Philadelphia never wear stockings buti

Th‘e people of this country need not care
much what a Glasgow printer may think and
say oftlieni; but the following which we find
in the Evening Post, extracted frorii 9. glas-
gow paper, may ‘supply the want ofin'ore iri-
terestirig niatter'.——Comi-. Mirror.
Mr. Hedwick, printer, of this city, lately
returned from America, gives rather an uri-
fovorable report of that country, as will be
seen by the following 'passagcs—
As a whole, New-York can scarcely be said
to be more than an overgrbivri sea-port village
in a state ofprbgressive transmutation towards
the order and rank of a civilized city. The
Streets ufNew-York are not to be preambtila-
ted with impunity by either the lame, or the
blind, or the exquisitely sensitive in their 0!-
factory nerves; to use an American phrase,
a person rmist be‘ wide awake,’ not to dislo-
cate his ankles by the inequalities and gaps in
the side-pavements, or break his legs by run-
riing foul oftlie numberless incunibraiices with
which they are occupied-.
Both NewYork and Philadelphia have what
are called slips formed in their harbors, which
are indentations cut into the land for the ac-
commodation of a greater quantity of shipping
than could be contained in the same space if
only ranged along wliarves facing the water.
In New York, the slips run tip a considerable
way in the centre of buildings, as it were in
the middle of streets ; and beitig built or faced
up with logs oftrecs ctrt to the requisite lengths,
allow free ingress and egress to the water, and
being coiripletely out of the current of the
stream or tide, are little else than stagnant re-
ceptacles of city filth; while the top of the
wharves exhibits one continuous mass ofclot-
ted nuisance, composed of dust, tar, oil, mo‘-
lasses 81.6. where revel countless swarms of0f-
fensive flies. _
So far as I am able to judge, the English
language is uriiverzsally spoken in greater pu-
rity than it is,in Britain. I also willingly pay
my tribute of admiration to the Ainericau fe-
males, for the exemplary inoffensive ‘ riiodest’
exclainations, universally substituted for those
mnltiforni irreverential expletives in vogue in
Britain : according to the degree of wonder,
approbation or dislike meant to be expressed:
the phrases are, ‘ Oh my !—Oh uiy, my !—
Oh my, my! well, did you ever?’ Drinking
spirits and water is the usual practice ofbolli
sexes, for quenching the parched thirst occa-
sioned by the surnrner’s broiling heat and con-
sequent excessive perspiration, and a bottle
or bottles containing spirits, and a tankard
containing water, cooled, if possible, with a
piece ofice, and a glass tumbler, is uniformly
placed on a table, at the entrance of visitors,
who help tliernselves at pleasure. It is reckon-
ed quite indecorous in an American to get
drunk, and instances of drunkenness are cer-
tainly inore rare than in Britain. Profuse
perspiration no doubt tends to neutralize the
effects of ardent spirits, nor ought the fact to
be o'i/‘erlooketi, that constant moistening pre-
vents the cask frotii exliibiting those irregular
sliriiikings and swellings which take place
when only occasionally used as a depository
for liquor.
Neither the American preacher nor teach-
ers are to be compared, in point of ofiicial
qualification, with those of Britain: a great
proportion of the teachers in the country are
young women, and I rather suspect, that not
a few of the preachers belong to the recon-
dite species, known in Scotland by the name
of old wives.
The summit of a wealthy citizeii’s enjoy-
ment in suninier and autiimn, seems to consist
in dtily riioisteuing his clay inwardly, while,
to cool and dry it outwardly, he lolls half-nak-
ed in a rocking-cliair in his lobby, smoking a
segzir, with the front and back door wide 0-
pen, fo produce a current of air, they being
purposely placed directly opposite. It is no
rare thing to see tea parties thus exposed to
the gaze ofeveI'_v' by-passer for the benefit of
sitting between two open doors.
The Erie Canal, in the state of New York
is deservedly celebrated for its length; but its
width and depth does not surpass the small
Canal between Glasgow and Paisley: it is
nnnavigable for nearly one half of the year,
and were it not for the precaution of drawing
off the water at the coimneiicement of wintr r,
the Canal would be so tlioronglily frozen as
to require a great proportion of the other half
to thaw it.
