“ Thanlr God ! she lives,” exclaimed Bar-
ton as he placed Mary Gray in the arms of
her father while he himself turned away to
obtain water. At the sound of his voice, the
girl seemed to revive and the color was re-
turning to her check, when the strange an-
nouncement made by Briggs fell upon their
ears. It needed no iriierveyrition on the part
of Barton to check the arm of Sassomoc, at
the the sudden disclosure, be relaxed his
grasp, and suflbred Clinton to rise from the
ground.
“Yes, Harry Barton, he is your own
brother. Didn’tl tell you Bill, that l
wouldn't have any thing to do with this in
form] scrape, if you meant him any mis-
chief 2 And you didn't know tne reason
why either, look at them John Gray and see
if their very faces don’t attest the truth of
my words.”
And their faces did atttest the truth of
the wounded man. The likeness which
Gray hid before observed now appeared
much stronger when attention was particu-
ly called to it.
“ Boggl,” slid Clinton,“ I believe you
are mad; if you are not don’t tell any
more such d d lies just now."
“ it's no lie, Bill Clinton, and Ni prove
it to you, i remember old Daniel Clinton
well. When I was but seven years old, I
lived with him, as you know Bill, for " you
and I were about of an ago. Well, your
mother, Bill, was a sweet young -woman;
she married your father, as l have heard,
when she was only seventeen, and you was
their first child. When you got to be about
seven years old you had a brother born, who
was named Henry. There he stands now,"
and the speaker pointed to Barton.
‘* It's a lie, Bnggs,and you lrnoiv it," ex-
claimed Clinton, “tliiit infant was drowned
in this very harbor."
_ “ Mr. Gray and Sassotrioc here can tell
you bettcrthari that," replied the wounded
man, “but let me get on with my story.‘-—
Two years after the birth of Henry, your
father died, and some relative offered you,
young as you were, place in a store at New
York. We all mused down there. l re-
member how your mother looked in her
tvidotv’s iieeds,pale but beautiful in her grief,
on the day when we tool: up our abode in
the city. I too was employed about the
store as a sortof errand boy. while your la-
bars were nothing but to learn. Well, one
day a soldier met your mother in the streets;
etruclt by her appearance he followed her
home," learned her residence, and afterwards
her whole history. The soldier was Lieu-
tenant Barton. Y_onng, handsome, and dis
sipated, he obtained an introduction to her,
cultivated her acquaintance, with, I believe,
at first the most infamous designs. But
here his acts failed, and so strongly had he
by this time become enthralled with his
passion, that he at length made ‘her a pro-
posal of marraige. Your mother hesitated
and finally consented. They were married
and went with thechild Henry to a new
ohode ina different part of the city, After
that yousavv little of them, but I kept watch
of them. Your mother had always trea-
ted mo lrindly and i loved her for it. l
anticipated the future that was in store for,
her. Lieutenant Barton, for a time, treated
her well and she was happy. But soon a
change came. Her husband cloyed with
pnssession, neglected her, and she plned
away in secret But the Lieutenant, strange-
ly enough, took a fancy to the boy Harry,
and made him a pet and playtliing.' Well,
inless than a year after the munige, your
W-Othtr died, as i believe of a broken heart.
Then the Lieutertantadopted the boy and
gave him his own name. Shortly after his
Company was ordered to another post. He
went with it, was takeb‘ sick and came to
Mr. Gr.-iy’s You, Mr. Gray lrnoiv the rest;
Harry Barton is Harry Clinton, the son of
the British Lieutenant.”
“ But,"exclaimed Clinton, “ Lieutenant
Barton and the boy both were drowned in
this harbor, MI was informed.”
-“ Your information was wrong th.cn,"said
Mr. Gray End in brirfly repeated t a story
of the death of the Lieutenant and the cars
bestowed upon the boy by Sassomoc.
For a few mm-n¢‘_‘4£l8 after these revelations
all present remained sifsat. At last Briggs
again spoke;
“I‘tliinlr lean wall: now," stid he, “the
fsintness is gone. Are we to reg;,‘td our-
aelvcs as your pfisonere, Captain Bartou 1*’

the oficer. “‘Mr.Clinton—-I ought perhaps

leaning on the arm of her father; a. little in
advance of these were Barton and Sasso-
iuoc,and the -former remained motionless
busted with their own thoughts gasing after
the two Tories, till the latter disappeared
from view. .
“ They have gone,” said the young I0l~
dierturningto his companions. ,
“ i-lar'ry,” said Mr. Gray, “ Harry Clinton
lam getting old, and the .oils ofthis day
have somewhat {vearied my arm.” The
old man's coiintenanco lighted up with a
nieamng smile as he continued, “ will win
relieve it of this burden befitting your
years ?” and he glanced fondly upon his
daughter. '
“Burden l sir," exclaimed Harry spring-
ing to her side, “to receive her, from your
hand, is the best boon Heaven can have had
in store for me!”
“ Take her then,"said the father, ‘‘I know
she will not withhold her consent, and
may God's blessing rest on you both !" and
Barton, passing his arm around her slender
waist, drew her gently to his heart and pres-
sed her sweet lips with the first kiss of avow-
ed and recipmcated love.
