1t was disgrace, damning and lasting .
1t was to acknowledge his convict
father; to give up Sarah, the life which
he had planned, for the hourly, steady
cOmpanionship of this man. But his
face glOwed with the old love of his
youth.
This is my brother, gentlemen" he
said, "lNg mothers son."
There was a moment of startled 81
lence. 'Sir,n said Mr.. Holt, "your
brother is a brave man." They had all
something hearty and cordial to say.
Jack was the hero of Kerr's Ford.
"Bless my soul, sir" said the old
gentleman, drawing Nicholas aside,
presently, 81 under stand your trouble.

Cured him-h0w ?"
"Kept beside him, night and day.
Never let him touch the accursed stuff.
Oh, it can be done! And, of course,
it's your duty-a much nearer duty
than the people of Kerr's Ford"
The way suddenly seemed easy and
plain enough to him. For two years
he followed it, needs not to say with
what pain aud prayers, and sometimes
utter hOpelessness. His chief helper
was Sarah ClevedOn. He had thought
poor, drunken Jack, would be the bar
between them he proved the strongest
bond to bring them together. She
recognized, as nobody else did, the man
he once was and yet might be, and
Jack, when with this gracious, simple
woman, woke to his old self again.
Rose windows, and caste, and social
position slipped strangely out of the
clergyman's sight, during these two
years of work for his brother and for
God and when, at the end of them, he
asked Sarah to be his wife, he did not
even remember his convict father, nor
any other consideration than they loved
one another.
There is no more sincere man in the
ministry now than Nicholas Harbour,
as the people at Coalport and Kerr's
Ford will testify. His brother Jack,
comes to pay him yearly visit. He is
in business, a free-handed, merry fell
low, who will never be rich, people say.
But his cure is thorough. He joins in
all of Sarah's admiration and eXaltatiOn
of her husband.
'.NichOlas is like ST. Augustine" she
said to him, the other day. 81 was
afraid once he would be spoiled by the
world. But you came just in time to
save him, Jack"
"Saved him ? St. Augustine? | can
not understand yOu," exclaims the puz-
zled Jack. Nor does her husband quite
solve her meaning.-Rebeccd Harding
Davis, in Sunday afternoon.

A SENATOR'S JOKE ON A NEWSPAPER.
Senator Conover played an exceed
ingly sharp game, and perpetrated a
neat practical joke on the Washington
Post recently. A paragraph in that
paper read as follows:
Senator COnOver is a nice gentleman
socially, but really now, senatorial dig
nifty requires that he should shoot that
hat. A bill for new one may be sent
to the editor of the Post.
The next day an affable young man
called at the Office of the Post and pre-
sented the following for liquidation

in Peru. the ministerial crisis is al an end but
the effect upon the interests of the country is
not SO cheering as was anticipated. The newly
appointed ministers are men OF ability and
some experience, but their hands are tied.
While congress is in session, that Sapent body
places every possible obstacle in the way of the
government, and IL Is impossible for ministers
TO act energetically and Independently. The
majority is one OF the Obstacles and so reforms
of all kinds are delayed and important matters
such as the guaDo and nitrate interests are
made the subject OF prOfitleSS discussion rather
than CT intelligent action. The opinion is be-
coming general that Peruvian politicians win
