“Brother! brother!” cried Lionel, choking with 
wrath, “ beware what you say !” 
“ Beware what you do!” retorted Richard, still 
retaining his hold of Edward. 
“ As I am a living man!” muttered Lionel, in¬ 
tensely excited, “ I shall use violence if yon do not 
release my son. ” 
An d he placed his strong hand upon the throat of 
Richard. 
“Unhand me! unhand me, sir!” cried Richard, 
beside himself with passion. “ I shall strike!” 
“ Release my son!" said Lionel. 
Richard did release his son, but it was to clench 
his fist, and level a fierce blow at hiB brother’s tem¬ 
ple. Lionel staggered; but recovering himself im¬ 
mediately, he folded his arms, and fixing his terrible 
eye upon Richard, said in a hoarse voice, 
“ That blow shall never be forgiven!” 
An d he stalked into the house, leaving Richard 
overwhelmed with rage and shame.

BT GFOBGE ARNOLD. 
O flea8ant waters rippling on the sand, 
Green and pellucid as the beryl-stone, 
With crested breakers heaving toward the land, 
Chanting ihc-tr ceaseless breezy monotone, 
What snowy little feet at girlish play 
Have ye 004 kissed on Newport's beach to-day? 
O waves that foam around yon lonely rock, 
Boding tin distant storm with hoarser roar, 
Has not some ship beneath the tempest’s shock 
Gone down, a piteous wreck, to rise no more? 
Lost in the mighty billows’ wash and sway, 
What gailunt hearts have ye not stilled to-day? 
O dancing breakers, fresh from other seas, 
Whereon the lingering, loving sunshine smiles. 
Yonr spray is fragrance on the fragrant breeze, 
Borne from the spice groves of those palmy i»lee 
Where dusky maids make merriment alwuy— 
Have ye not laved their perfect forms to-day ? 
O tossing billows, come ye from afar, 
Where over ice-tlelds the aurora beams, 
Dimming the radiance of lbe northern star 
That through the lengthened uigbt of winter gleams 
Upon the toppling icebergs, grim and gray, 
Have ye not lashed their frozen sides to-day? 
O sea of life, whose waters heave and roll, 
Ye lave sad wrecks and joyous youthful forme, 
Ye bring sweet fragrant c to the weary soul, 
And chill it with the breath of icy storms ; 
Here on the shore we smile and weep and pray— 
O waves, cleanse all our sins from as to-day I 
Chapter IV.—The Building of the Cottage. 
The awful occurrence of the morning cast a deep 
shadow of gloom over the Old Felton House, for the 
remainder of the Sabbath. Even the youngest chil¬ 
dren seemed to be aware that sin had been among 
them in an unusual form. Neither family went to 
church that day; nor did they eat together, or 
associate together in any manner. Edward made a 
fire in the parlor, by the direction of his parents, and 
thither Lionel’s family retired, leaving Richard’6 in 
possession of the sitting-room. 
“ Yon needn’t have anything more to say to yonr 
uncle’s people,” said Martha to her children. 
“Did Uncle Richard strike fatherV” asked little 
Jane. 
“Hush!” mutlcred Lionel. 
The sound of his brother’s name made his brow 
contract with wrath. 
Meanwhile Richard was miserable. “1 should 
not have struck my brother,” he would say in his 
remorse; then in bis anger and pride he would add, 
“ But be laid his hand npon my throat! 1 gave him 
warning. Uis hand upon my throat!” 
In the evening, Richard saw Lionel leaving the 
house. He did not return until late; and Richard, 
with many misgivings, asked himself where his 
brother could have gone. He knew in the morning. 
’Squire Stone came early to the house, and inquired 
for Richard. As the latter had not gone to work as 
usual, he was easily found; and the ’Squire opened 
his business to him at once. 
“I am very sorry to learn that there is some dif¬ 
ficulty between yon and yonr brother, Mr. Felton.” 
Richard scowled, kicked the ground with his foot, 
and said nothing. 
“ I saw Lionel last night,” pursued the ’Squire. 
“ He says he thinks a division of yonr property is 
necessary.” 
Richard started, and turned pale, hut only mur¬ 
mured, 
“ Well” 
“ Are you of the same way of thinking ?” 
“ I will agree to any thing reasonable.” 
“ But this, Mi. Felton, I think unreasonable. 1 
told yonr brother so, aud tried to di66uade him from 
it. But he is determined.” 
“ He !” cried Richard, trembling with excitement 
"Very well. Let the property be divided. I am 
willing." 
But you know this division will necessarily be a 
very difficult thing.” 
“ Not so difficult tut that it can be accomplish¬ 
ed,” said Richard, firmly. 
’Squire Stone then saw Lionel, and, after a con¬ 
ference ivit.ii him, returned again to Richard V u- 
fortuna’.ely, ’Squire Stone had not the faculty of 
reconciling enemies; and his negotiations only made 
matters worse. Before night, the division of the 
property was a settled affair, and the preliminary 
steps had been taken t® effect tLe important object. 
Arbiters were ehoseu to adjust the business, so that 
the brothers might not come in contact; for all this 
time they had never spoken to each other, since the 
fatal affray. 
The directions Richard gave to his frends, were: 
“ Divide the stock, the farming implements, the 
land—everything as you see fit. Act according to 
yonr judgment and friendship. Only one thing I 
insist upon—the site where we were going to build 
in the spring, must be included In the land which 
fails, to my share.” Now, it so happened that Lio¬ 
nel had set his heart npon that building-lot. 
“ I must and will have that,” said he, “ if it be at 
the sacrifice of ten times as much laud any where 
else.” 
With the building-lot in the way, the arbiters 
found the greatest difficulty in settling the division 
of property. At length, ’Squire Stone suggested 
that the lot itself should be divided. 
“ A good idea,” said one of the arbiters; “we can 
run the line up to the north rood, and cut the lot in 
the centre, giving the boy6 half and half.” 
This suggestion was reported to the brothers. 
“ Very well,” said Lionel, “divide it.” 
“ Cut it in halves, then,” were the words of Rich¬ 
ard; "I care not, since he is not to have the whole.” 
The lot was accordingly divided, and the arbiters 
having come to a decision, a surveyor was appointed 
to run a line according to their directions. The 
necessary articles of agreement were then drawn up 
to which the brothers were to put their name, 
Until the last moment Richard had hoped that 
some word of regret at the division of the property 
wouid escape his brother; nor was it without many 
misgivings that Lionel saw the hour arrive when the 
last tie between him and Richard was to be broken. 
The hand of the latter trembled as he took the pen 
to sign his name. He raised his eyes to his brother's 
face to find there one kind look—one of regret—of 
which he might take advantage, even at the last 
moment. But Lionel looked 6ternly on to see if 
Richard would sign without an appeal to him for a 
brothers’ reconciliation. Bride restrained the better 
feelings of both, and, with a nervous hand, Richard 
wrote his name. How angry with himself was he 
afterwards, to think that his hand trembled, while 
Lionel's was firm; and how the latter Bneered as he 
glanced his eye at the unsteady lines his brother bad 
traced in his agitation. The deed was done, and 
henceforth the brothers possessed nothing in com¬ 
mon. The old house bad fallen to Richard’s share; 
but Lionel was to occupy a certain portion of it, 
particularly designated in the articles of agreen 'ut, 
until he could build. The house, the cattle, the 
flocks of sheep, the poultry, the farming implements, 
the househould furniture, even the timber which had 
been got out for the new house—every thing was 
divided. Even with the old house in his possession, 
Richard was resolved to put up as line a cottage as 
his brother; in fact, having learned that Lionel pro. 
posed nsing the old plan, and building as dose to 
the desirable, site on the north road, as possible 
Richard determined to put a cottage exactly like it’ 
upon his own side of the line, in order not to be out¬ 
done by bis brother. 
While the Feltons were energetically making 
preparations to build, they lived in the old house in

BY PAUL CJ1ETTON, 
Chapter III. — The Fend. 
[Continued from page 228, last No.] 
He held up the figs, and Lizzie, clapping her little 
hands with delight, started forward to receive them; 
but her eldest brother, Jackson, said, 
“ You don’t want any figs, Lizzie; let Jane have 
them, and 1 will buy you a new doll, aud a whole 
bunch of raislos, when I go to town.” 
Lionel scowled darkly upon his nephew, hut once 
more offered the figs to Lizzie, who, influenced by 
her brother, hesitated to receive them. 
“ I wouldn’t coax her !’, exclaimed Mrs. Lionel. 
“ Give the figs to Martha and Jane; they will be 
glad of them. 1 have not told them not to accept 
anything that is given them.” 
These emphatic words, uttered in a significant 
tone, were accompanied by a sneering glance at 
Maria. 
“ Mrs. Felton,” said Lionel, sternly, “ is it your 
will that your children should uot accept a present 
from me?” 
Maria answered, on the angry impulse of the 
moment: 
“ If you think your presents are going to pay us 
for the abuse you have heaped upon us, you had 
better keep them to yourself.” 
Lionel’s eyes flashed fire, as he pushed the box of 
figs away from him, exclaiming, 
“ Here, Edward, divide them with your sisters. 
Take these combs, Martha. 1 designed only one of 
them for you; but since 1 cannot make an offer of a 
present without being insulted, you had better take 
them both.” \ 
Had Richard been . resent, it is probable this scene 
would hayc terminated more happily; for he only 
waited for the smallest manifestation of kindnesB 
on the part of his brother to forgive and forget all. 
But the brothers did not meet, until Martha had con¬ 
ferred with Lionel, and Maria had told her side of 
the story to Richard ; so that Lionel’s efforts to¬ 
wards a reconciliation resulted in a more bitter and 
determined animosity between thefamilies. Lionel's 
pride would not allow him then to oiler Richard the 
pencil be designed for him, nor is it probable Rich¬ 
ard would have received it, had it. been offered. 
Taking example from their parents, the children 
now did nothing but quarrel continually. Even on 
the following morniog, which was the Sabbath, 
usually so peaceful aud happy in the old Felton 
house, there were dissexsions and strife between 
Richard’s children and Lionel’s. 
Richard was somewhere about, the yard, and Maria 
occupied the sitting-room, while Lionel and his wife 
remained by the kitchen fire. Lionel was shaving 
and preparing for church, when his attention was 
drawn to angry voices in the yard behind the house. 
Looking out of the window, he saw Lizzie, Rich¬ 
ard’s youngest child, quarreling with his daughter 
Martha,whom he had sent to tbeshed for some chips. 
“ Call her into the house,” said he to his wife. 
The latter was about to comply, when she heard 
Maria, in the other room, cry out, 
“ There is that great creature, Martha, hurting 
little Lizzie 1 It iB a shame! Run out, Wolcott, 
and bring yonr sister in the house !” 
“ That is pretty talk,” muttered Martha, turning 
to Lionel. “ Let us see what Wolcott, will do!” 
They watched from the window, and saw the boy 
run hastily up to the children, seize Martha rudely 
by the shoulder, and push her aside. Unfortu¬ 
nately, Martha’s foot slipped, aud she fell to the 
ground. 
“The little, villain !” muttered Mrs. Lionel. 
“ I will see If he is to treat my girls in that way!” 
said Lionel, going towards the door. 
“ There is no need !” exclaimed his wife. “ There 
is Edward." 
In fact, Lionel's eldest child was already upon the. 
spot. SceiDg Martha crying, and supposing Wol¬ 
cott had hurt her badly, he struck his cousin vio¬ 
lently on the cheek With a cry of rage, Wolcott, 
flew at his assailant; but Edward was much the 
larger aud stronger boy, and a moment after, he 
had thrown his cousin down upon the frozen ground. 
“Edward! Edward 1” cried Lionel, “come into 
the house t” 
Before the boy could obey, however, Richard, 
coming out of the wagon-house, and seeing his 
favorite son beaten by his cousin, so much older 
than himself, ran to the spot, and taking Edward 
angrily by the shoulder, shook him with all his 
might. 
“ Let go of me!” shouted Edward, fiercely— “I 
ain’t to be whipped by you, sir!” 
J “There's spirit for you!” cried Mrs. Lionel, de- 
lighted. “But 1 hope you are not going to see 
yonr son abused by his unde, for taking his sister’s 
Parti” 
“ No, never!” muttered Lionel, rushing out 
-f of the house. “Take your hands from off him !” 
sy 1 he added in an angry tone, confronting Richard. 
Q) “ Do you mean to bully me f” demanded Richard, 
jJR purple with rage. “ Yon will find that 1 shall stand 
Qa upon my rights now, if 1 have suffered yonr tyranny 
sV from my boyhood.”

The most celebrated makers of violinB have been 
the Amatis, Stainers, and the two Straduarius. 
But few particulars have been handed down t.ous 
respecting them; nov is this surprising, considering 
that their celebrity is owing in a great degree to 
time, by which alone their works have been brought 
to perfection. 
An Amati is a phrase often in the months of ama¬ 
teurs, without their being, perhaps, aware that there 
were four makers of that name, viz: Andrew, the 
father ? Jerome and Anthony, his sons; and Nicho¬ 
las, Anthony’s son. The handsomest Amatis are 
those made by Jerome. All these individuals, as 
well as the two Straduarius, belonged to Cremona, 
aDd heDce that other phrase, by which, in order to 
designate a violin of the tirit order, it is called a 
genuine Cremona. Of the visible characteristics of 
the works of these different artists, the most prom¬ 
inent are these: The Stainer violins, compared with 
the Amatis, are high aud narrow, and the box more 
confined; the sound holes are cut more perpendic¬ 
ular, and are shorter; there iB also a kind of notch 
at the turn. The Straduarius violins are of a larger 
pattern, particularly those of Antonins, the son, and 
have a wider box than the Amatis, and longer sound 
holes, which are cut at the ends very sharp and 
broad, with a little hollow at the end, which other 
makers cut fiat. The varnish of the Amatis and 
Stainers are yellow, as well as those of Stradua¬ 
rius, the father; the son’s varnish is red. Of the 
audible characteristics, surely of the most impor¬ 
tance, though frequently a secondary consideration, 
generally speaking the Amatis have a mild and 
sweet tone; the Stainers, a sharp and piercing tone; 
and the Straduarius, a rich, full.tone. 
In from my first one-half yon take away. 
Five hundred will remain as plain as day, 
And in my next, judiciously combined, 
One hundred tifty-eix you’ll surely find. 
From nine, ten now, my third with care you take, 
And what remans, a full round score will make. 
My fourth (and last) from just three score and ten 
If now you take, but seven will remain; 
Now, if to find my whole you have a will, 
Tis easily done when riding down a hill.
