9, ved my mother's letter from home, I im-
„ mediately came down, determined topunish
„ the betrayer os our honour , and lent him
e, an order to meet me, which he anfwered',
,, not in perfon, but hy his dispatching four
„ of his domedics to feize me. I wounded
„ one who sird adaulted me, and I tear de-
„ sperately; but the red made me their prisb-
,, ner. The coward is determined to put the
9, law in execution againd me; the proofs are
„ undeniable; ihave lent a challenge, and as
3, I am the hrd transgressor upon the sfatute,
a, I see no hopes of pardon. But you have
,, often charmed me with your lessons of for-
a, titude, let me now, Sir, find them in your
„ example."
„ And, my son, you shall find them. I
„ am now railed above this world, and all
„ the pleasures it can produce. From this
i, moment I break from my heart all the ties
i, that held it down to earth, and will prepay
,, re to fit us both for eternity. Yes, my sbn,
9, I will point out the way, and my foul dial!
9, guide yours in the alcent, for we will take
9, our bight together. Inowseeandamcon-

9, I can only exhort you to leek it at that grea-

„ exhortation, but let all our feliowprilbneis
„ have ashare: good gaoler, let them be per-
