BROTHERLY LOVE.
REMARKABLE INSTANCES OF ovERPowER-
 ING FILIAL AFFECTION.

A curious and touching incident has been recently brought to light by the Repu61icGSss de Coaastontime. A short time ago the criminal court at Constan- tine condemned two natives, brothers, one to the pain of death, the other to the galleys. No sooner was the judg- ment pronounced than the third brother, the only one remaining in freedom, went and found the counsel for the defense, weeping bitterly and hardly able to ez- = plain himself from emotion. Endeavor- ing to calm him the lawyer said:
 "All IS not yet lost, the only object of the crime was vengeance, and it is to be hoped that the head of the State will grant pardon to your brother who is condemned to death."
 The poor fellow, somewhat reassured, then declared that as soon as all was de- cided he had made up his mind to ac. company his two brothers to Cayenne, presuming remission was granted to the first, and in any case not to leave the second.
 CT am going back now," said he, "to my douar to sell my share, and if the money get is not enough, will work night and day to make up enough. Whatever may happen, I cannot live without them"
 But you are not married ?" asked the lawyer.
 "Yes, since three years."
 "Have you no children
 CT have boy and girl"
 "And what will you do with you1 wife and your children?'
 "I shall send my wife away and en. trust my children to the care of my rela' tives on the douar."
 "What are you not ashamed of leav ing your children? Do you then love your brothers better than your owr blood and hesh?''
 "I am young," replied the Arab "and later on may take another wife and have other children, but who car give me back my brothers2 ? My father and mother are dead. No, never, neve will stay here without them"
 This anecdote recalls to us similar episode in antiquity. Alexander tn, Great, having taken prisoners the chic sfamily of tribe of Syria, decided to pu away all except the women. Ceding however, to the prayers of one of these he granted her the life of one of he family. When the princess asked fo the life of her brother, Alexander coul not suppress a movement of surprise. | What" he cried, "you love you brother better than your husband, C even better than your own son?''
 "I cannot deny that I love my hus band, and I would willingly lay dow my life for my son, but since one onl can be saved, I remember that am sti young and may love another husban and other children, but no one can giv me back my brother, since my mothe and father are dead"
 Neither is the occurrence special Algeria. Machiaveli narrates that the middle ages an Italian woman, who's brother was defending besieged city was summoned to give him up. The had taken her children from her an told her that they would be murdere unless she persuaded her brother t capitulate. Nothing daunted, the Ita ian lady replied, placing her hand o her bosom:
 "Do as you will; my bosom will bes other children to me, but will not b. tray my brother"
 These different narratives are ident cal in character, and serve to prove ho history repeats itself, after intervals centuries.

To Attain Long Life.
From the sanitarian for August.

From the Samtarlan Tor August.
He who strives after a long and
pleasant term Of life must seek to at
tain continual equanimity, and care
fully to avoid everything which too
violently taxes his feelings. Nothing
more quickly consumes the vigor Of
life than the violence of the emotions
of the mind. We know that anxiety
and care can destroy the healthiest
body; we know that fright and fear,
yes, excess OF joy, become deadly.
They who are naturally cool and OF a
quiet turn of mind, upon whom moth

preston, who are not wont to be ex-
cited either by great sorrow or great
JOY, have the best chance OF living
long and happy after their manner.

stances, a composure of mind which
no happiness, no misfortune, can too
much disturb. Love nothing too VIC
lently; hate nothing too passion.

The cabman dashed on, and just as
Mr.. Beckley turned back his head,
somebody stumbled out Of the fog
against him. 1t was tall, spare
man, in clerical garb and neck-tie,
with sanctimonious air.
"Pray excuse me-" he exclaimed.
"What is this Mr.. Beckley? 1t Ger.

No, You Don't.

Mr.. 10 Beckley stepped out on the
ample porch of the Agricultural Club.
He looked forth with disgust upon
the dense fog in which London was
enveloped, and then gazed with de-
light upon ticket for Calais which
he held in his hand.
Mr.. 10 Beckley had an exceedingly
rural air. Large and brawny and
grizzled, his brown face covered with
scrubby beard, his joints all clumsily
developed, he looked like back
woodsman. Being a bachelor, also,
his toilet lacked that adjustment
which a witely touch or suggestion
imparts, and intensified his rural air.
But that Mr.. Beckley possessed
intelligence was proven by his wide
awake air, and by the fact that he had
brought no baggage to Europe, ex-
cept the little satchel now depending
by strap from his muscular shoulder.
The Honorable Felix Plimpot, M. p,
stepped out on the porch with him.
Bon voyage, Mr.. Beckley. When
you get back to America, pray for

and Hoe, whenever they appear"
"Good-by Mister Plimpot. The
best time I've had in England l had
on your demesne, sir, and when the
land question comes up in Parlia-
ment again, hope you'll send me a
copy OF your speech"
"With pleasure, sir"
The two shook hands heartily, and
Mr.. 10 Beckley departed.
Ere he had gone half block a
seedy gentleman iu gray approached,
and slapped him Familiarity on the
shoulder.

"Where are the two shillings ?"

COIL All right. Here make it four
draws. Here are two shillings more"
"a shilling draw is cheaper than
we usually allow, except for six draws
at one time," said the clerk. Wont
your friend take hand ?"
''Mr. Beckey try couple"
"No," said 30, Il guess not"
"rll give You four, then, at the six
rate, this time" said the clerk, and he
took the money.
A drum like box was produced.
Mr. Cowper put in his hand and
drew out four envelopes, each con-
tanning one ticket. He opened them,
and called off the numbers. Three
drew nothing; the fourth drew four
pounds one shilling.
"This is splendid luck, Beckley ~
whispered Cowper. Don't you
want to try it?
Il CUES not" said Mr.. Joe Beck
ley.
"Gentleman," said the clerk conf
dentially, Il saw a remarkable sight
here this morning. A man came in
and gave me hundred pounds, and
drew a bushel of envelopes. Will
you believe me-there were only two
prizes amoug 'em! Well gentlemen,

You're right about that p ex-
claimed Mr.. Cowper, with enthusiasm.
"Beckley, we can make fortune
here, Suppose we put in five pounds
apiece, on trial? ?"
NO." said Mr.. 10 Beckley l guess
not"
II will, anyhow" said Mr.. Cowper.
He paid the money and drew twenty
eight pounds, sixpence.
Luck is against me-" said the
clerk, mourntully. There's going to
be run of prizes now, sure !"

Mr.. 10 Beckley retreated toward

How They Met and Parted.

Two men hailed each other from
the opposite bank OF stream and ex.
changed greetings. many friendly
questions were put and answered.
The men were evidently delighted to
meet each other, and their only re.
greet appeared to be that they encoun-
tered one another in place where it
was impossible for them to clasp and
shake hands, the river not being ford
able on account of it's swiftness and
the rocky and treacherous nature OF
its channel, while the nearest bridge
was five miles above. Both men Ia
