however, did not ease his consc,ence for
ne Knew that he was lying to himself.
while he sat thus he heard rap at the
lront door, and in few minutes one of the
children told him that 'Uncle William,
wanted to see him.
Ieil him to come in" said John: and
AFTER this be made motion for his wife and
children to leave the room. 81 shan,t
oudge an inch," he muttered to himself.
IL he thinks to frighten me, he'll find his
mistake"
Before he could say more, his brother
entered the room.
'Tood evening, John" said William. in
a kindly tone, at the same time laying his
hat on the table.
John Stains was taken all aback by this
address, and he could hardly believe his
ears; but he responded hesltatingly to the
salutation. For an instant he looked up
into his brothers face, and during that in
stant there flashed across his mind wish
that he had never offended.
John, continued William, still stand
-ng, you know well what has passed to
make US both unhappy"
'Ies, | know" answered John. hardly
knowing what tone to assume.
"Well, my brother, a" continued William,
while tear glistened in his eye, and at the
same time extending his hand, II have
come TO bury the evil that has risen up be-
tween us. If you have wronged me, l
freely forgive you; II / have been harsh
and unbrotherly towards you, | ask that
you will forget it. Come, let us be friends
once more"
Like an electric shock came this speech
upon the ears Of John Stains A moment
he stood half bewildered, and then the tears
broke forth frcm his eyes. He reached forth
his hand, but his words were broken and
indistinct. lie had not expected this from
his stern brother; but it came like a heaven
sent beam of light to his soul, and in a mo-
ment more the brothers were folded in a
warm embrace. When they were aroused.
it was by feeling a trembling hand laid up
on their heads; and when they looked up
they found their aged mother standing by
them.
''Bless you, my children, bless you !
murmured the white haired parent, as she
raised her hands towards heaven; ''and oh,
pray our Maker that You may never be
unhappy more"
John Stains knew that his mother had
been the angel who had touched the heart
of his brother, and it did not alter his for
giveness.
'Oh," he murmured, al have been very
wrong-I have abused you, my brother;
but if you can forgive me, will try to
make il all up"
s.Your love will repay it all, John. Let
me have your love, and will try never to
lose 1t more
.'Now | am truly happy" said the aged
mother, as she gazed with pride upon her
sons. ''Now can die in peace. Oh, my
boys, if you would have your children sure
of happiness in after life, teach them that
forgiveness will heal social wounds which
can be healed in no other way. Many a
heart has been broken from the simple want
of that talismanic power.
Both these brothers tried to bless their
mother for the healthful lesson she had
taught them, and they failed not to teach
it to their children as one of the best hoons
that could be given them for life.

Eontainebleau.

The forest of Fontainebleau covers A.
ence. Most of the trees are very old, and
to the most remarkable ones are affixed
small plaques giving the particulars of
their history. Originally the demesne was
named the Foret de Biere and became
known as Fontalnebleau from the fact that
King Louis IN, while hunting in one of
its widest parts, lost one of his favorite
hounds, whose name was Bleau. The dog
was found quietly drinking from a spring
Of cool water, which the king named FOn-
taine Bleau, or Bleau's fountain. Struck
with the beauty of the spot, the king or
dered hunting mansion TO be built near
the spring, and this hunting box has in
successive reigns been enlarged and beau
tilted till it became the stately palace
which all visitors TO the environs of Paris
know so well.
In Francis /. s time, tradition says, the
forest was infested by an enormous serpent,
which gobbled up men, women and chill
dren in large numbers. AS there were no
snakecharmers sufficiently courageous TO
attack the monster, King Francis deter
mined to try his hand on it, and caused
suit of armor to be made of razors, with
the edges pointing outwards, and the SER
pent met his death
The library of the palace contains many
of the first books seen in France. In
Charles Wis reign the S53 books therein
contained were worth the present sum of
SIS, 100. The English carried off the
books when they were rulers in France,
but they were bought back at the cost of
$3.50.
in the Hotel d'Albret, in the Cour du
Cheval Blanc, Cardinal Richelieu dwelt
when attending on the court. Here he
was taken III and was removed to Paris on
a litter. The litter was too wide to pass
through the door of the hotel and was
lifted out through window. In 1867,
Christina, Queen of Sweden, while visit
ing at the palace, caused Monaldeschi, one
of her favOrites, to be assassinated. Cardi-
nal Mazarin, by order of the king, wrote
to her to leave the palace. She replied by
ordering Mazarin to mind his own business;
as queen was always queen wherever
she happened to be. Fontainebleau was
the scene of many of the triumphs of Rous-
seau and VOltaire. The latter. however,
was requested to leave the palace, an IN
complimentary remark he had made hav-
ing come to the ears of royalty. The sbdi-
cation of Napoleon |. was signed at Fon-
tainebleau and here the petit corporal kept
Pope Plus VII. prisoner for the space of
two years, on account of some slight diff
ference of opinion between himself and the
successor Of St. Peter. In the Cour Gu
Cheval Blanc, Napoleon took his leave of
the Old Guard when he started on his trip
of exile to Elba.

no ,ho Green carpet along one track during

along the other track there is scarcely .

German and his friends concluded
that il would not be a good for duels,
and tho matter was dropped. A stu
dent here was reading me an extract
from a letter he had recently received
from his father in Kentucky. As
near as | can remember, this is the
substance Of il:
Dear Bob-l hear that they have
sword duels in Heidelberg, and that
many of the students engage in them.
| do not believe in the barbarous prac-
tice Of duelling, but there are times
when one has to fight or be branded a
coward. You know hat our family
does not belong to the latter class.
Should occasion require, which | trust
will not happen, never choose words
only towards aud Frenchmen use those
weapons. Choose pistols OF rifles,
which means business. Never show
yourself in your native town with a
sword scratch on your face.
From your affectionate FATHER.
The young man asked me what /
thought Of that doctrine. | told him
| did not believe in either the sword
scratch or the pistol ball.

COLONEL I. A. Hamilton, the re-
publican nominee for congress, Is
making a vigorous and formidable
canvass. He has dropped the quiet
still. hunt policy and comes out boldly
upon every possible occasion. Being
a plausible, smooth-talking speaker
he is playing his hand with the arttul.
ness of a veteran politician. His hold
upon the colored vote is well known,
as he has been identified with nearly
every republican canvass 10 this
county and congressional disnietsnce
the war, and now be seeks by his IN
sinuating style and su%gar-coated radl-
calism to catch the floating, %independ-
emit, weak. kneed democrats and such
Qreenbackers as have cut loose from
their party and are looking for a soft
place to fall. This game will not win.
Mr.. Hamilton's bitter radicalism is
not half concealed. No man, who
ever had a drop of democratic blood in
his veins, even if now a greenbacker,
could think Of voting for this unre-
lenting, dyed in the wool enemyot the
only party that upholds constitutional
liberty. He is a fit representative Of
the Garfield party III this part of the
county, but he cannot get to cOngiess
this time even if Colonel William r.
Moore gets off the track in his favor.
