My son, I wish you to feel them as you ought. " " No, father, " replied Homer gloomily ; " it is not for me to sustain your name and fame. You have another son, younger, it is true, but a great deal more gifted and more beloved than I am. Let Edmund have all the money, since he has stolen every thing else. " " And who told you, unhappy boy, that Edmund had sup- planted you in our affections ? What proofs of love has he received which have not been lavished on you ? Oh ! Ho- mer, my heart bleeds... for your perverseness. And there is another heart, still more tender and fond than mine, that throbs with unutterable anxiety on your account. You were the first that opened the overflowing fountain of pa- rental love in our bosoms, that fountain which no ingratitude can chill, no exactions can drain. We love Edmund no better than yourself. There is an evil spirit within you, which whispers bad lessons to your secret soul. Beware, Homer ; it is the same spirit that instigated Cain to envy, hate, then murder his unoffending brother, and bathed the green turf of Eden in kindred blood.
