TWO NEWMANS.
The brothers, Cardinal John Henri
and Prof. Francis william.

The Brothers, Cardinal John Henri
and Prof. Francis william.
A little more than seven years ago
John Henry Newman, the English
cardinal, died at the age of 50. The
other day his younger brother, Prof.
Francis William Newman, died at the
age of 90. The two brothers, in their
time, played no small part in the his
tory of religious thought in England.
Both were educated at Oxford, and
came under the influence of the re-
ligious awakening there, which later
resulted in the Oxford movement, the
Tractarian controversy, and the going
over to Roman Catholicism of many of
those engaged in the movement. That
was the path John Henry Newman
took, and in course of time he resigned
his position in the Church of England,
became priest in the Catholic church,
the founder of monastic establish
ment, the Birmingham oratory, and
subsequently a cardinal of the Roman
church.
The younger brother, equally gifted
and learned, took different course,
Both began by a strong antagonism to
the Catholic church and to sacerdotal.
ism in general. John Henry Newman
was gradually drawn by his spiritual
nature in the direction of the church,
which he began by hating, and of which
he died one of it's brightest ornaments.
Francis William, equally spiritual and
conscientious, studied himself into
deeper distrust of sacerdotalism, and
coincidently into doubt Of the sound.
ness of theological dogmas.
At the age of 25 he gave up the idea
of taking holy orders, and resigned his
fellowship in Balliol college from con-
scientious scruples on the subject of
infant baptism. He went to Bagdad to
assist in Christian missionary work, but
conscientious doubts of his fitness for
the work caused his speedy retirement,
and he returned to England to engage
in the work of classical teaching, in
which he continued until 1868. During
that period and since Prof. Newman
continued his Investigations and re-
Elections on religious matters, and drift
ed as far away in the direction of free
dom of religious thought from the COM
mon starting point of youth as his older
brother had gone in the direction of
absolute dogma. His numerous works
show a steady progress from orthodox
Trinitarianism to pure Theism. He
long ago ceased to call himself Chris
tian, and his position, as stated by him
self some years since, was that of 'sav-
ing all that is spiritual, pure and merci-
full in Christianity amid the wreck
which erudition has made of it's myth.
ology."
Prof. Newman has published e long
list of works, covering a great variety
of subjects, ranging from poetry to
mathematics, the soul and its aspira-
tions and sorrows, to dictionaries and
vocabularies in ancient Greek and
Latin and modern Arabic, Hebrew his
tory and Greek dramas, and transla-
tions of Horace into English and of
Longfellow into Latin.-Cleveland

Something Beyond,

Nothing is so satisfying as the I'M
attained. If the microscope were to
find the ultimate atom, and the tele-
scope to reach to a boundary wall to
space, how pitifully impoverished life
would be! If God were wholly known,
and His Word fully understood, how
Paralyzed man would become by the
disclosure that there was nothing be-
yond Him! A lady at a summer re-
sort, speaking anxiously to a friend
about a young relative, said: He is
disconnected, growing, unhappy, and
yet he has everything in this world"
But there was his trouble-he had
everything. Life has no zest when it
has no realization of the unattained.
The man who knows all, who has all,
and who is entirely self-sufficient, has
never had the satisfaction of coming
into ideal possession of the splendor of
the infinite; he has never reached out
and taken hold of the beyond. Let us
at this Thanksgiving season praise
God for the unmeasured and unat-
tanned. In this is our stimulus to ac-
tivity, our promise of growth and our
sufficient reason for living.-S. S. Times.

Chance for Silver when n Currency

Great Britain having firmly declined

Mr.. Teller and other prominent repub-

after the ST. Louis convention declarea
for gold have right along insisted that
the Wolcott commission would accom-.

As at present constituted there is an
undoubted majority in the senate for
the free coinage of silver. If the ad.

pie were spread, and gave thanks. She
never thought of going further than
herself. When her cousin Seraph, who
had been the only companion of her
lonely childhood, had married, against
her express wish, ''that shiftless Joe
Parker" she simply ''let her go her own
way"
The neighbors called her hard" and
SO she was. What was the matter to-
day? She was growing old-56 last
midsummer. Perhaps her mind was
weakening.
She had never noticed before how
lonely the small, weather-stained house
looked as she turned in at her own
gate. How would it seem to have a
face smiling a welcome from the win
dow-or some one watching at the
door?
She put up Tom, made her cup of
tea and ate her cold ham and bread,
but it did not refresh her.
That black rooster'n weigh seven
pounds if he does an ounce" she re-
marked to herself, land 1 suppose I'll

You haven't got bit of it in your heart,
and you know you haven't. You are
hard, lonesome old woman, and roos-
tiers, nor turkeys either, can't help that.
You don't love anybody but yourself,
and may the Lord help you! I'm a
pretty halt and poor thing to offer, but
1 guess I'll have to give up, and let Him
lead me awhile" she whispered softly
with the fading shadows, and then
came peace.
The next morning Miss Hannah was
| UP betimes, and her small washing
waved in the earliest breeze. That was
nothing unusual, but the trip that she
took with Tom, soon after, was more
so. There was a smile as she passed
the rickety house and weedy cornfield,
but no stop until they reached the town
poorhouse, standing bare and unshut-
tered, on it's bleak hillside.

Cynthy Ann, and stay awhile" Miss
Hannah said to gentle, faded little
woman who came stifiy to meet her.
"Are you willing?"
"The Lord be praised!" was the an
swer given through tears. HE knew
twas hard trusting Him in this place.
SO He's going to brighten it up for me-"
'And you are not coming back again,
not while 1 live" Miss Hannah said, as
they wound their way among the hills.
'You can't exactly be said to be a rela-
tive, though my grandfather's wife was
your step-grandfather's sister. But it's
been given to me to see that it's nigh
enough relation for the Lord to find a
duty in it. And. Cynthy Ann, now that
I'm getting old and gray, L guess it's
about time for me to be looking up my
duties" she admitted, grimly.
That was all the confession Miss Han
nah could be expected to make. Her
nature would be one rather to do than
to talk.
And all that day and the two follow
ing the small, tidy house witnessed
such life and activity as it had not seen
Tor many year.

Miss Hannah drew her second pair OF
glasses down from her forehead to their
proper position, and, opening the en-
velope, counted the money.
Three twos is six, and four ones and
six make ten, and two silver ones make
12.'' Then she counted it over, begin

the envelope into her pocket. You can
go now, and tell your ma so. Here, you
can have an apple to eat on the way,
and the boy with a scant thank you"
slowly backed out the door, beginning,
however, a quick run as soon as he was
outside the gate.
"Seraph'l hear all about it now"
Miss Hannah said to herself.
But some way the work went on more
quietly after this. The truth was, the
t;mid little Cynthy Ann was making up
her mind to the doing of a disagreeable
duty.
Hannah" she broke out at last,
''ain't you going to invite Seraph and
her family here to Thanksgiving? You
I'm thinking of it, yes" was the
answer that almost took her breath
away.
"Oh, 1 knew it! I knew you would,
Hannah! You're too good to hold spite

Hannah went on after little, but last

Bible and opened it, and what I read
was, in Deuteronomy, like this: that if
there was a poor man among our
brethren, or needy, we was to open our

and Miss Hannah really looked relieved
at this confession of faith"

Cynthy Ann; it seemed to be a way of
hers. Have you invited them yet?"

"Oh! wouldn't they enjoy thinking of

"Cynthy Ann" and Miss Hannah spoke
slowly, II do not think best to make
it too easy and pleasant. Sarah was
member, and she had no right to marry
a man who wasn't. She must suffer for
her sin still. 1 shall not invite her until
Wednesday afternoon
If we could imagine an "avenging
angel" with thin, gray hair drawn into
tight pug, two pair of spectacles
pushed high on forehead, and lips set
close, Miss Hannah might have served
for the character at that moment. But
in spite of herself she grew gentler with
every hour until Thanksgiving. One
cannot cherish love in the heart with
out its showing, of course. 1t was like
the asters Seraph's youngest girl
brought, all the choicer for being so
late.
For they all came, of course, shabby

dren really seemed hollow, clear to their
boots" as Miss Hannah said afterward
But that was after she had had the
pleasure of filling them up. Then when
they had gone out into the soft Indian
summer for play, the three elders
drew their chairs together, and talked.
at first hesitantly, then more and more
earnestly, drifting back to the days of
their childhood and youth, when they,
too, had dreamed and hoped and
planned. And as they talked the tones
grew softer, sometimes even tremulous.

Il am not even an old string" Miss
Hannah said, but Sereph, I'll join

we'll tie together" and then some
way, the two wrinkled hands came
together in a long clasp; and then,
presently, there was slipped from one
to the other, the same grimy envelope
Benny had brought.

nah said. Get comfortable shawl, or

Miss Hannah laid on the Goals a yellow
paper, that both watched shrivel to

mean to feel it this time"
Let me pick that rooster, Hannah, ;"
Cynthy Ann said the next morning as
the devoted bird took hot water bath.
Its just what I'm fit for, a Sittin' down
job. And it makes me think of ma,
more'n so years ago, and how she'd say:
Now, Cynthy Ann, you may look out
the pin feathers, and mind you don't
leave one large enough for grandma's
sharpest glasses to spy All, l knew
what good times meant in those days."
We'll, it does seem good. must say"
said Miss Hannah, setting the fowl and
some old pans beside her companion.
Ito have somebody interested in what's
going on and to speak a word back to

say something bright not to have a soul
to know it. Well now, you feather him,
and I'll go right to stirring up mince
meat and making those pies. They're

and let 'em stew slow and all down to

apple sass and leave it. Bah! 'Tain't

cook, Cynthy Ann-at Thanksgiving
time anyway"
Amid this unusual ripple of talk
small boy made his appearance, with
wondering eyes, and nose tilted high as
though to take up all the savory odors
that filled the kitchen air.
'Oh, it's you. is it, Benny ?" Miss Han
nah said, peering over her glasses.
"Yes'm," the boy returned promptly,
holding out a grimy envelope. Here,
ma sent you your int'rest," and then his
eyes wandered to the steaming pies just
placed on the table, with look that
