This bitter, vehement words eanio from lips whoso smiles wero like tho sunshine of tho first new day, and whose voice was soft and sweet, that "pleasant thing in woman." Hut the lips had no sunshine of smiles now and tho passionate swell of the tones of Margaret Lowo had in them no sweetness, or attraction The girl was an orphan, and the brother whom she thus addressed wur three years lior senior. There . was a strong family likeness between the two; but the expression which darkened tho face of the brother extinguished it for a time his was bitter, sullen, hers was flushed, passionate. Theodoro Lowe rone up. I think the conRciousncssJthat ho had fallen into evil aud disgraced himself, and done his eislcr a wrong, stung him more than her hardest words did. "Very well, I shall not give you an opportunity to insult mo like this by putting my face whero you will not Ece it very soon again, he said. Margaret Lowe, in heat of anger; did I not heed the eovert threat in these words. but she remembered it afterwards in sorrow, and repmat U ol spirit, -i v .:' ; hide it out t-ff-ight, lor e.m. !,!!.., if! v.uj in y.ur place, Tl.to.i-i0 '.

' 1 told to your shame, an'1 . . .- cause you are my brother." It was fortunate that at this moment a domestic entered, aud put a sudden period to the iuterview, whoso bitterness was only intensified by words. Theodore Lowe iv: e up and went out, without speaking again, only his face was w bite, and there was a fierce gleam iu the eyes which met his sister' face. The sensitive, high-spirited girl of eighteen certainly had cause for bitter mortification.Tne brother had accompanied her, the preceding evening, to a private party at which were assembled many of their mutual acquaintances. Tdeodorc Lowe was not accustomed to taking wine, but this evening he drank more than he intended.When he returned to the parlors he was quite intoxicated, and became vociferous, aud impertinent to several of the guests. At last, with much difficulty, his sister persuaded him to accompany her home, with such sinking aud mortification of spirit as can be best imagined; and whan she met her brother the uext morning, after his late breakfast, her pent up feelings spent themselves in a storm of accu sations wen iiieh anatnemas. ine younir man was full as sensitive endhigh-spirited as his sister, and so he walked rapidly toward his uncle's store, where I-.e was head bookkeeper. lie felt so lowered in his own self-respect, so sunken iu tho es teem ef others that he almost wished he was dead. Every bitter word of Margarets seemed to curl itself in letters of flame before him and there was added to this mental anguish the physical revulsion which usually accompanies any indulgence iu stimulating liquids. Theodora Lowe knew that his sister's anger, if not justifiable, was altogether natural. He hated her, he hated himself, he was ashamed to meet any of his acquaint ances; lie tairlv writneu as lie tnoujrlit over the events of the preceding evening, md although they did not exist very clearly in his memory, ftil! his imagination supplied and brightened all that was want ing. "I wish I was dead," muttered Theo dore Lowe to himself, adding, as, alas, human natare - is so apt to do. one sin to another, in accordance with the fearful logio of evil. "I suppose this matter will be talked over and discussed for the next year, and everybody kuow what a fool I made 'of myself. I've a good mind to go and jump off some pier, and end this mis- erable matter." And it was just in this frame of mind, that the young man came upon two of his acquaintances, who had joined a regiment that was to Icavo for its camping ground the next day. Tho thought suddenly flashed across the young man that he might save himself all further mortification by enlisting, and leaving the eily at once. He hastily expressed this thought, and his friends pursued it vehemently, insisting that he would be promoted within a month, and painting a soldier's life in most attractive colors. Theodore Lowe listened, with the words of Margaret ringing in hit oars, aud a flas'.i oftririnpk wont ovr him, as he thought ho could fulfil his threat of keeping himself out of the way, with emphasis now. Ilia undo was absent, and there was no fear of the opposition he thoultl otherwise be sure to encounter in that quarter in short; the matter was settled in less than fifteen minutes, and within an hour Theodore Lowe had entered the rank and file of the Massachusetts regiment. Margaret' Lowe was better than Lor words; as we are all sometimes. After her storm of tears and reproaches had spent itself, there was a calm, and tho currents of sisterly affection, which flowed deep and strong in tho young girl's heart, set themselves back into their old ehaniie's. , A3 she sat at her piano that morning, the harsh words she had spoken came back and troubled her memory. "After all the had been a little too hard on TJieodore. I was the first time he had ever fallen into temptatation, and all men wore liable to do that sometimes, aud ought not to be killed for it either," mused the girl, with the usual feminine proclivity for intensifying her participles and adjectives. "And then Theodore was a darling brother, after all how handsome he was bow proud she was cf him, and he was so high-spirit, cd and sensitive, he would be punished enough for his unfortunate mietakc, with. t her taunts and reproaches. It was really cruel the way she had gone on. She certainly believed she must havo been : tsidu !it;-.tli', md then what if her words had stung him into desperation, and he !:.. tui o : ..in, ,tbo ftiit would '..c :.cis ulto gether. The poor fcl. low heeded ..,.. .rih !-! encouragement instcD"' . . '. . !'( lings harrowed ud If his mother and hers bad been living tl'.at morning, she would not have reproached her and taunted her boy she would have soothed and comforted him, and he would have gone away fuom his mother's tears and kisses with good cheer, and a mighty resolve that for her sake he would never fall again.'' And Margaret remembered that her brother was all that remained of a broken family upon earth, and that she stood, as far a-' she might, in the place of his mother now, aud it seemed as though the closed eyes, sleeping so long aud sound under the summer grasses, looked with mournful re proach down on her soul. The tears swelled warm into the bright living eyes. "I will be very kind to Theodore when he comes home to-night," resolved the impulsivo girl. Theodore Lowe mraut to carry the thing off with a high hand, and to tell his sister in the coolest way passible that he had enlisted, and should sot off to-morrow, and she would not therefore be troubled with the siirht of his face any more, as he had promised her. Tho young man fed his pride and anger for awhile upon the revenge in store for him, for ho well knew the consternation which would take possession of her when she was really convinced that he had joined the army. But as the day wore ofT a better spirit began to tako possession of him, a feeling of tenderness and sadness stole over him; as he thought of the fair young sister whom be was about to leave it might bo forever.And before he reached home, after the long, hurried day of preparation, the triumph was all gone from his heart, and the young man dreaded to deliver the message which he brought to his sister. 'Why, Theodore, we've been keeping tea for you a whole hour!" said Margaret Lowe, as her brother opened the door, and there was no anger in her voice now, not even impatience, only a kindly solicitude. There was no drawing back now. Theodore Lowe felt that the sooner he got the words out the better, and they caine. "Well, I must swallow my fumer iu a hurry to-night, for I've g"t to bo off early to-morrow morning, as l'vo enlisted iu Capt. Fuller's company.,' "You don't mean that. Oh, Theodore!" She asked the question as though her brother's words had been a blow which hurt her. "Yes, I meant it, Margaret, rid of mo, now, you see." You 11 got Ho spoke in a cheerful voice, or tried to and did-not mean that his words should J wound her. lint she sat down with a very white face. "Going to tho war going t' the war!'' she muttered, in a way that proved that the shuck had been for the moment, ahnont too much for her. "Ofeour.se I am, sis. You wouldn't want vour brother to stay at homo aud be a coward, would you; when his country wanted him? Come now, and don't take it iu this way, dont," and he came toward his sister and laid his hand tenderly ou her hair. Phi! threw up her arms, with a quick gesture of despair and terror. "It is al! because of what I said this morning it wis tint male you eteJisl;- und now y.,u are going away from mo, and I shall 'kv-er see you again !" A great storm of .whs shook to an fro the figure of Margaret Lowe. "Its nothing," was the eager response of the young man, and he was at that moment perfectly conscious that ho was. not speaking the truth. "D ;!i't get such a notion as that into your foolish head, little iivter. I've hud the thing oil my mind for some time. It's my duty to do something for my country in her day of peril. Come, now, look up, and be a soldier's sis- tor, and five me a God sneed." S!. .l.MU.t ., .;.!. l.o. : he di 1 - ' ' " la" jyJua? face drenched in tears. "0, Theodore. you arc ail the brother I have -ot in the world our father and our mother arc dead, and should you die off there, ou some dreadful battle-field. No, no, 1 can't let you go. I can't," and she clung to him, sobbing and shivering. Theodore Lowe's heart eauk within him as ho witnessed tho distress of his sisicr, for he loved her better than anything in the w hole world. " Don't cry so darling; be a good girl. One of these days I intend to come back an ofllcer, and you'll be proud of mo then little r::ater. .Dry up your tears. ;md be strong and brave, and don't look un-.a '.he dark side of things." And so he tried to cheer and comfort her, and succeeded partly at the ' 4, uiit her faint smile showed that just beyond it lay waves of bitter tears tears which she would shed softly on lonely nights, lying on her pillow. Theodoro Lowe remained with his sister until Into evening, and then he hurried off to complete his last preparations; but when he returned after midnight she was watching for him, and her long drawn 0, Theodore," touched much that more words could nut. They hardly .snatched an hours bleep that night, and what they said to each oilier, 0, reader, listen to your heart, and know. Kavly the next morning there was a brief agonized parting, such partings as during the last year have transpired throughout the land, in which was almost the bitterness of death. Margaret Lowe yearns, and hopes, and prays for her brother, gone to the battle, as wives and sisters do iu many thousand homes, but sometimes the memory of those bitter, angry words which the spoke to her brother on the hist ui irning that they passed together, come back aud stifle her, stinging like a serpent, cutting like a sword, and that prayer which holds in il the only mortal healing inbreathed anew amid tears of repentance and humiliation, "God forgive me!" Pear reader, God will answer, ifyou too have thus prayed, remembering .your be- oved who have "enlisted! enlisted!" Wat'dimun and J!rf!yio: Fnrsoii Brownloiv. The followingcxtracts arc from a speech delivered by Parson Brownlow, at a Mass meeting at Chicago, a few evenings since. For a whig, who could not vote for General Scott for President, because he was too anti- slavery, it shows progress. who inaugurated the war.

Applause. But the men of South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and all thn powers of boll inaugurated this hellish war. Great applause.

I of course must be a stranger to the inmates of the institution, laughter, but I declare in the fear of God to-night, that one half, yes two-thirds of tho men iu tho Illinois penitentiary are better men than any of tho leaders of the rebellion at tho South, fchecrs.l i an(j jf j we e CQt afrai(j to-morrow beinu o Sunday, of bridging upon my head a controversy with some of the clergymen,many of whom are no doubt in this large asse B bly.

Great applamo and checs It is sheer nonsense to be raising all this hue and cry through tho land against the Administration and President Lincoln about this emancipation proclamation. I!e proposes to give the rebels now in rebellion against this Government one hundred days of grace to reflect and do their work ovar again, aud return to the fold from which thoy have strayed away.

I therefore endorse the proclamation. Great applause. "Oh! but it's unconstitutional!" "Where docs that cry comes from? Is it from loyal men? Cries "No, no."

This bitter, vehement words eanio from lips whoso smiles wero like tho sunshine of tho first new day, and whose voice was soft and sweet, that "pleasant thing in woman." Hut the lips had no sunshine of smiles now and tho passionate swell of the tones of Margaret Lowo had in them no sweetness, or attraction The girl was an orphan, and the brother whom she thus addressed wur three years lior senior. There . was a strong family likeness between the two; but the expression which darkened tho face of the brother extinguished it for a time his was bitter, sullen, hers was flushed, passionate. Theodoro Lowe rone up. I think the conRciousncssJthat ho had fallen into evil aud disgraced himself, and done his eislcr a wrong, stung him more than her hardest words did. "Very well, I shall not give you an opportunity to insult mo like this by putting my face whero you will not Ece it very soon again, he said. Margaret Lowe, in heat of anger; did I not heed the eovert threat in these words. but she remembered it afterwards in sorrow, and repmat U ol spirit, -i v .:' ; hide it out t-ff-ight, lor e.m. !,!!.., if! v.uj in y.ur place, Tl.to.i-i0 '.

' 1 told to your shame, an'1 . . .- cause you are my brother." It was fortunate that at this moment a domestic entered, aud put a sudden period to the iuterview, whoso bitterness was only intensified by words. Theodore Lowe iv: e up and went out, without speaking again, only his face was w bite, and there was a fierce gleam iu the eyes which met his sister' face. The sensitive, high-spirited girl of eighteen certainly had cause for bitter mortification.Tne brother had accompanied her, the preceding evening, to a private party at which were assembled many of their mutual acquaintances. Tdeodorc Lowe was not accustomed to taking wine, but this evening he drank more than he intended.When he returned to the parlors he was quite intoxicated, and became vociferous, aud impertinent to several of the guests. At last, with much difficulty, his sister persuaded him to accompany her home, with such sinking aud mortification of spirit as can be best imagined; and whan she met her brother the uext morning, after his late breakfast, her pent up feelings spent themselves in a storm of accu sations wen iiieh anatnemas. ine younir man was full as sensitive endhigh-spirited as his sister, and so he walked rapidly toward his uncle's store, where I-.e was head bookkeeper. lie felt so lowered in his own self-respect, so sunken iu tho es teem ef others that he almost wished he was dead. Every bitter word of Margarets seemed to curl itself in letters of flame before him and there was added to this mental anguish the physical revulsion which usually accompanies any indulgence iu stimulating liquids. Theodora Lowe knew that his sister's anger, if not justifiable, was altogether natural. He hated her, he hated himself, he was ashamed to meet any of his acquaint ances; lie tairlv writneu as lie tnoujrlit over the events of the preceding evening, md although they did not exist very clearly in his memory, ftil! his imagination supplied and brightened all that was want ing. "I wish I was dead," muttered Theo dore Lowe to himself, adding, as, alas, human natare - is so apt to do. one sin to another, in accordance with the fearful logio of evil. "I suppose this matter will be talked over and discussed for the next year, and everybody kuow what a fool I made 'of myself. I've a good mind to go and jump off some pier, and end this mis- erable matter." And it was just in this frame of mind, that the young man came upon two of his acquaintances, who had joined a regiment that was to Icavo for its camping ground the next day. Tho thought suddenly flashed across the young man that he might save himself all further mortification by enlisting, and leaving the eily at once. He hastily expressed this thought, and his friends pursued it vehemently, insisting that he would be promoted within a month, and painting a soldier's life in most attractive colors. Theodore Lowe listened, with the words of Margaret ringing in hit oars, aud a flas'.i oftririnpk wont ovr him, as he thought ho could fulfil his threat of keeping himself out of the way, with emphasis now. Ilia undo was absent, and there was no fear of the opposition he thoultl otherwise be sure to encounter in that quarter in short; the matter was settled in less than fifteen minutes, and within an hour Theodore Lowe had entered the rank and file of the Massachusetts regiment. Margaret' Lowe was better than Lor words; as we are all sometimes. After her storm of tears and reproaches had spent itself, there was a calm, and tho currents of sisterly affection, which flowed deep and strong in tho young girl's heart, set themselves back into their old ehaniie's. , A3 she sat at her piano that morning, the harsh words she had spoken came back and troubled her memory. "After all the had been a little too hard on TJieodore. I was the first time he had ever fallen into temptatation, and all men wore liable to do that sometimes, aud ought not to be killed for it either," mused the girl, with the usual feminine proclivity for intensifying her participles and adjectives. "And then Theodore was a darling brother, after all how handsome he was bow proud she was cf him, and he was so high-spirit, cd and sensitive, he would be punished enough for his unfortunate mietakc, with. t her taunts and reproaches. It was really cruel the way she had gone on. She certainly believed she must havo been : tsidu !it;-.tli', md then what if her words had stung him into desperation, and he !:.. tui o : ..in, ,tbo ftiit would '..c :.cis ulto gether. The poor fcl. low heeded ..,.. .rih !-! encouragement instcD"' . . '. . !'( lings harrowed ud If his mother and hers bad been living tl'.at morning, she would not have reproached her and taunted her boy she would have soothed and comforted him, and he would have gone away fuom his mother's tears and kisses with good cheer, and a mighty resolve that for her sake he would never fall again.'' And Margaret remembered that her brother was all that remained of a broken family upon earth, and that she stood, as far a-' she might, in the place of his mother now, aud it seemed as though the closed eyes, sleeping so long aud sound under the summer grasses, looked with mournful re proach down on her soul. The tears swelled warm into the bright living eyes. "I will be very kind to Theodore when he comes home to-night," resolved the impulsivo girl. Theodore Lowe mraut to carry the thing off with a high hand, and to tell his sister in the coolest way passible that he had enlisted, and should sot off to-morrow, and she would not therefore be troubled with the siirht of his face any more, as he had promised her. Tho young man fed his pride and anger for awhile upon the revenge in store for him, for ho well knew the consternation which would take possession of her when she was really convinced that he had joined the army. But as the day wore ofT a better spirit began to tako possession of him, a feeling of tenderness and sadness stole over him; as he thought of the fair young sister whom be was about to leave it might bo forever.And before he reached home, after the long, hurried day of preparation, the triumph was all gone from his heart, and the young man dreaded to deliver the message which he brought to his sister. 'Why, Theodore, we've been keeping tea for you a whole hour!" said Margaret Lowe, as her brother opened the door, and there was no anger in her voice now, not even impatience, only a kindly solicitude. There was no drawing back now. Theodore Lowe felt that the sooner he got the words out the better, and they caine. "Well, I must swallow my fumer iu a hurry to-night, for I've g"t to bo off early to-morrow morning, as l'vo enlisted iu Capt. Fuller's company.,' "You don't mean that. Oh, Theodore!" She asked the question as though her brother's words had been a blow which hurt her. "Yes, I meant it, Margaret, rid of mo, now, you see." You 11 got Ho spoke in a cheerful voice, or tried to and did-not mean that his words should J wound her. lint she sat down with a very white face. "Going to tho war going t' the war!'' she muttered, in a way that proved that the shuck had been for the moment, ahnont too much for her. "Ofeour.se I am, sis. You wouldn't want vour brother to stay at homo aud be a coward, would you; when his country wanted him? Come now, and don't take it iu this way, dont," and he came toward his sister and laid his hand tenderly ou her hair. Phi! threw up her arms, with a quick gesture of despair and terror. "It is al! because of what I said this morning it wis tint male you eteJisl;- und now y.,u are going away from mo, and I shall 'kv-er see you again !" A great storm of .whs shook to an fro the figure of Margaret Lowe. "Its nothing," was the eager response of the young man, and he was at that moment perfectly conscious that ho was. not speaking the truth. "D ;!i't get such a notion as that into your foolish head, little iivter. I've hud the thing oil my mind for some time. It's my duty to do something for my country in her day of peril. Come, now, look up, and be a soldier's sis- tor, and five me a God sneed." S!. .l.MU.t ., .;.!. l.o. : he di 1 - ' ' " la" jyJua? face drenched in tears. "0, Theodore. you arc ail the brother I have -ot in the world our father and our mother arc dead, and should you die off there, ou some dreadful battle-field. No, no, 1 can't let you go. I can't," and she clung to him, sobbing and shivering. Theodore Lowe's heart eauk within him as ho witnessed tho distress of his sisicr, for he loved her better than anything in the w hole world. " Don't cry so darling; be a good girl. One of these days I intend to come back an ofllcer, and you'll be proud of mo then little r::ater. .Dry up your tears. ;md be strong and brave, and don't look un-.a '.he dark side of things." And so he tried to cheer and comfort her, and succeeded partly at the ' 4, uiit her faint smile showed that just beyond it lay waves of bitter tears tears which she would shed softly on lonely nights, lying on her pillow. Theodoro Lowe remained with his sister until Into evening, and then he hurried off to complete his last preparations; but when he returned after midnight she was watching for him, and her long drawn 0, Theodore," touched much that more words could nut. They hardly .snatched an hours bleep that night, and what they said to each oilier, 0, reader, listen to your heart, and know. Kavly the next morning there was a brief agonized parting, such partings as during the last year have transpired throughout the land, in which was almost the bitterness of death. Margaret Lowe yearns, and hopes, and prays for her brother, gone to the battle, as wives and sisters do iu many thousand homes, but sometimes the memory of those bitter, angry words which the spoke to her brother on the hist ui irning that they passed together, come back aud stifle her, stinging like a serpent, cutting like a sword, and that prayer which holds in il the only mortal healing inbreathed anew amid tears of repentance and humiliation, "God forgive me!" Pear reader, God will answer, ifyou too have thus prayed, remembering .your be- oved who have "enlisted! enlisted!" Wat'dimun and J!rf!yio: Fnrsoii Brownloiv. The followingcxtracts arc from a speech delivered by Parson Brownlow, at a Mass meeting at Chicago, a few evenings since. For a whig, who could not vote for General Scott for President, because he was too anti- slavery, it shows progress. who inaugurated the war.
