'Ministers' sons are very apt to tnVn
out badly,' said Ito the gentleman who
fiat next to me in the car. We had met
in the tram, bound for Chicago, and had
struck up an acquaintance.
He stopped mo with his hand on my
arm and with an earnest look which I
shall never forget.
I paused at once in what 1 wa3 saving,
and it seemed tor a moment almost as if
the rushing train had slopped to liste:i,
too.
'Let mo tell you a story,' ho said. '1
know it is a common belief that ministers
sons arc wild, but this is because people
talk about the bad ones, while those who
turn out well are taken as a matter ol
course. 1 gathered statistics about them
i once, and found that out of a thousand
sons of Ministers, there were very few
who did not grow up useful aud indus
trious men.'
•But what is your story?' I askedj set
tling backlu my seat.
•Well,' said lie, 'it begins with a class
supper iu Boston, a dozen years ago. A
number of old college friends had gath
ered iu the evening lor their annual re
utiiou. Among them was the rich mer
chant, J. E. Williston—perhaps you have
heard of him—and a poor pastor cf a
country church iu Elmbank village, out
in Western Massachuseels, whoso name
was Blako. A good many of the class
bad died, and the dozen or so elderly
men who were left felt more tender than
ever toward each other, as thought
of tho bright old days at Harvard,. an I
how soon uo one would bo left on earlh
who shared in that happy time.
'Tbe dishes came and went, fho lights
glowed brilliantly, ami at last thetrieuds
grew quite gay. But the tender feeling
I have spoken of would coino uppermost,
now aud then; and in one of these mus
ing moments Williston's eye was attract
ed by something glistening about the coat
which his trieiid Blake, who sal next to
: liim, had on. t '
'He looked closer, and saw that the
black cloth ol which the coat was made
had been worn so thin aud smooth that
it whs very shiny. /
'Well, Blake,' sabl-liesmtdeiily, taking
hold of lits friend's arm cordially (which
lie somehow hadn't thought of dcriig bei
lore,) 'how has the world gone-with you
"lately V
Blake had a naturally sad and thought
ful face; but he looked around quickly,
with a warm smilo. *
'No need to nsk,' he said, laughingly.
'You can read the whole story ou my
back. This old coat is a sort ot balance
sheet, which shows my financial condi
tion to a T.'
Then be spoke more seriously, adding.
'ltis a pretty hard life', Williston, that
of a country parson. 1 dou : t complain of
my though sometimes I'm distressed
. for nay family. Tbe fact is, this coat I've
. got ou is hardly fit lor a man of my pro*
feßsiou to appear in; but I'm going to
send my boy Sam to Harvard this tear,
aud must pineh here and there to do it. I
really ought to be thankful, though, that
1 can get soeh advantages for him by a
ie* little sacrifices of personal appear*
. ar.ee aud convenience.
'Don't you give a thought to your
coat, old fellow.' returned Williston.
•Nobody who knowa you will ever imag
ine ibat the heart inside of il is thread
bare, however tbe garment may took.'
Blake waa pleased with this kindly axs
a»d both men, after that ex
change of confidence, felt happier. But
atnong the various incidents of lite even- j
inff, this one almost passed out of the
minister's mind by tbe next day, when he
started for Elmbank.
Speedy as bis return was, however,
something meant lor bim bad got to his
destination before bim. i( was a letter.
Takings up, be broke open the envelope
and found inside a few words from Wil
liston,with a check for SSOO to defray!

I IIK ALAMANCE GLEANER,
You ore a stranger to me, sir,' said
my Irareliug companion, at thin point,
'but I think yon will appreciate tlie RieU
ing with which poor Air. Blako stood in
his bare and dingy study in the old larm
parsonage, holding ihut letteriij.Jiis hand
and lilting his faithful eyes in thanklul
n'Css to God.'
' \ cs,' I replied. Williston did just
llio light thing, too. And how was it?
| Did (he son show that ho deserved (bo
ltelp?'
My acquaintance looked away from
meat tho rich country through which we
wero passing. Then he said: v
'Sam lilakc was a good-natnred, obo
(liciit fellow onough, and was greatly
pleased to have the expense of his first
collugo year taken off his- father's sliOnU
ders; but liis sense of duty didn't, go very
far. Typ Rev. Mr. Blake bought a new
coat, and Sain entered Harvard that
faril; aud here matlcis slopped for a
while.' •
4 'A freshman lias a great deal to learn,
na you know; but I think the chief thing
Sain learned that was the great
j difference there is between Harvard and
J a little Village liko Elmbunk. and the
| great difficulty ot working aud playing
I at the same timo.
'Here lie had society meetings to at
j tend, and rooms of his own, with a chum,
I where a good ileal ot smoking was done
by himself and his friends. And then
there was.bnsebal), into which it appear
ed indispensable for thehonorof the class
that he should enter actively, on account
of his strong legs, wonderful wind and
ground batting.
'Lie could not refuse to go to the thea
ter occasionally with his richer compan
ions. Sam took a natural interest in the
society of young ladies, too, and had to
givo up some time to its cultivation. He
also thought a moderate amount of prac
tice in the gymnasium was desirable, to
prevent his health breaking down under
the confinement of study. 96, on the
whole, the actual work that he did in the
college course was not very extensive.
'This didn't seem to have any bad ef
fect till well along in tho winter, when
the habit of shirking work had grown so
strong, without his noticing it, that he
fell easily into reading novels when lie
ought to bave been in the recitation
room. Gymnasium, theater, billiards,
smoking—aud I am afraid I must say rf
little drinking- frittered awny his time.
'One horribly snowy, sleety morning
when he had got up too late for players,
tho postman brought liiia a ncto from the
laculty- an 'admonition.'
He dropped the pipe he was just light
ing, and bolted off to recitation. But he
'deaded' immediately, and that discour
aged him, ' ■-
'He soon began to make light of the
.warning, and did himself 110 credit in
his studies. Though ho managed to
'squeeze through the examination at the
end of the freshman year, he oame out
far down toward tho foot of his class.
'He wfisn't quite contented witk' > him
self,and thought he would try to do bolter
the next year. But during tho jour
ney' home, ho recovered his usual

headed cane iu Cambridge when he
[ should go back there. And what do
you suppose was tiae first sight that met
him at home?
'lt was his father out in the field, dig
ging for new potatoes, his coat ofl and
his spectacled face perspiring!
•The sight struck shame into tho boy.
lie vaulted the fence, and running) up
with hardly a pause lor his greeting
cried:
♦Oh, falher, let mo do that I I don'l
like to see yon at such work.'
•Mr. Blako stopped and looked earnest
ly and rulher sadly at him.
•Well Sam, that's about good a
'How-do-you-do?, as you &»uld bave
ottered mo. There's something right
about you after all.'
•It hadn't occurred to Sam that there
was any doubt on that point before. He
blushed aa he asked;
•Where's the hired manT
'l've discharged bim. 1 can't afford
one at present, my 6on,' was the ans
swer.
•Sam was rather puzzled and began to
reflect.
'They went into the houso, and there,
when tho minister reappeared after
making his toilet, his son noticed that
he wore tho old, shabby, shiny eoat.
At this he was more then ever astoii
ished.
'Tho sapper, ateo, not withstanding
that it was llto first night of the prodi
gal's return, was very meagre, Hot a
single luxury was on the table, and Swn
noticed that bis lather aud mother took
graham, y p., Wednesday march 10 isbo
no sugar nor butler. His otvn ' appetite
began to fail at seeing this, aud his per
ception \y»B sharpened accordingly. Ho
was now aware that his fath'oV looked
very thin, as well as sad* Suddenly lie
laid down his knife, aud exclaimed t>'
his sister Kitty:
'Sis, what docs all this menu?—this
going w.iihont the hired titan, and starv
ing ourselves?
* I lis sister looked at him, then glanced
at Mr. Blake and her mother, aud lttudo
no answer.' , "• -i "• '
'I thought,' said Satt pttlrtlantly, that
Williston's money was going to make it
easy lor you, lather; and hero tho pincli*.
ing is going on fivo times worso than
ever.'
'1 don't own my frieml Williston's
money, said llio minister quietly.
'Of course not. But the fire hundred
dol Sam stopped- abruptly oil an
entreating gesture from his sister.
'The subject was not resumed. But
before he went to lied, Sam obtained an
interview with his sistci alone. lie felt
secretly that he was responsible for the
depression and trouble which seemed to
fill the household, but tbat only made
hitn speak more impetuously.
'2»ow, sis,' he began 'can I got two
words of Scnsd oitt of yon?
"Not until you ask politely,' she re
plied, • -*■ •
'Well then, pleasa tell me what the
mystery is?'
'lt.oughn't to bo a mystery to yon,
Sam, that you liayn't done well at col
lege. I'apa is terribly disappointed.
'I don't see why ho should commit
suicide, if he is,' retorted Sam. It hasu't
cost him srnch this year.'
•Oh yes, yon have. Do you know ho
actually sold the new coiil?' .
•Whv?' Sam frowned.
'Because he has been trying every way
to save money since he began to get re
ports of how you wero wasting your
time.
'What for?, asked Sam, thongli he be
gan to suspect.
•Well, ho how should I know?-*
Don't you soe? He's ashamed lo have
had that inonoy from his old class mate,
aud he's nearly Baved enough, and he is
going to pay it all hsck. Thero, I was
to keep it secret* aud now I've told you!
Aud his sister burst into tears. You've
rneurly broken his heart, Sam poor
papal'
Tbe next day Mr. Blakeu son went ofl
directly after breakfast, and was not
seen agalp until afternoon.
'Coming back, lie overtook bis father
returning from the postoffice.
'I know all about it, ho exclaimed, iu
his excitement, 'Katy told mo last
night. 1 wish though you'd held ou to
tho new coat awhile,'
'Why,'asked Mr. Blake, Impertras
biy. •
'Because said Sam, I'm going to pay
my own way now. I've beon of! to-day
and hired ont for tho season to Farmer
Hodgeburton. You won't send that
money to Willhton, will you, father?
'You aro too late, was the minister's
a»swer. I'vo just mailed the letter 'lo
bim.'
In fact next day the kind merchant's
eyes wero dimmed as bo read these
words:
'DRAW Wn.TJMojr: My boy—lt almost
breaks my heart to say so— has not prov
ed worthy of your generosity. I have
decided to retnrn the sum which yon
sent mo tor hitu last year, and you will
find a draft enclosed for that amount.
BLAKK.'
Here I interrupted tho narrator.
•Doesn't this story prove whnt I said
at tho beginning?' I asked.
'No lor that isn't the end of it. Sam
went down to Boston iu tho autumn
with a few dollars of earnings iu his
pocket. He had decided to give up col
lege, and so applied to Mr. Williston for
a clerkship.
'He told him:
•I Proved myself unworthy,ns my father
said. Now givo me a chance to show
myself worthy.'
•Williston gavo bim a position, aud lie
worked there two years. Then an op
portunity oflered to go West aud lake a
partnership iu—what do von think ? The
clothing business I Sam jumped at it; i
and you may believe he sent his lather,
