Her head was white with the frost of years, and her mild features were deeply marked by the hand of time. There was a tear in her eye, and her face was clouded with sorrow. She spoke to her son, a mid die-aged, strong-featured person, whose countenance betrayed a firm-willed, unbend ing heart, but yet who appeared an upright, honorable man. "Forgive him !" repeated the white haired widow, as sne raised her trembling hands towards her son. "He is your bro ther your only brother. Oh, if you know your own heart, you will forgive him." "Never!" spoke William Stains, in a firm, deep tone. "John has wronged me deeply wronged me and I should he to my soul were I to forgive him now." "And have not you wronged him ?" asked the widow, impressive y. "I wronged Jjiin? How ?" "By withholding from him your lore by treating him harshly, aud causing him to sin," answered his mother, kindly. "Cease, mother. When you say that I have caused him to sin, you are mistaken. He has chosen his own path, and now he must travel in it."

"I have been to Detroit to be treated for cancer, but there is no longer any hope. I ' am. going hotne to go to the poorhouse and there end my days.

Then they embraced some more and seemed to weep.s , One passenger fished up half a dollar and passed his hat, and in five minutes a collection amounting to. $350 was divided between them. Everybody said it was a shame ; an old man seetuod willing to adopt" them both if ihey would go to Illinois. But they didn't; i hey got off at Dearborn, and it was a quarter of: an hour after before a commercial drummer dared to make the statement that both chaps lived in Detroit, both lost their ar.ms by accident, and that they had played the same game over and over on .every railroad in me oiaie. "Listen tome, mother," said the stub born man, with a piece of bitterness in his tone. "John has been unjust to ie he has been unmaniy and unkind. He has in jured me beyond reparation. "No, no, William," interrupted his mo ther, "not beyond reparation." "Yes, he has injured my feelings by the most fatal darts of malice and ill-will. He has told falsehoods about me to my friends, and even assailed my private character." "And can you not forgive all this f she asked, tenderly. "Perhaps I might,'' returned William Stains, "but," he added, in a hoarse tone, while his frame quivered with deep feeling; "lie has done more than that. He has spoken of my wife, and But I will not tel it all. I caunot forgive him this'" "Forgive him. and be happy. His heart John Stains sat in Lis easy chair in his ' own cozy parlor, and about him were Li wife and chihlren. Everything that money could procure toward real comfort was his; yet he was not happy. Amid all his com forts there was one dark cloud to trouble him. The spot where for lone rears he had nurtured a brother's iore was now ra- cant. No, not racant, for It was filled with bitterness. He knew that he was in thm fault, but he tried to excuse himself by thinking that his brother hated him. This, however, did not ease his conscience, for he knew that he was lying to himseif. While he sat thus he heard a rap at the front door, and in a few minutes one of the children told him that "Uncle William" wanted to see hhru- - - - Tell him to come in,' said John ; and after this he made a motion for his wife and children to leave the room. "1 shan't budge an inch," he muttered to himself. "If he thinks to frighten me, he'll find his mistake." lierore he could say more, his brother entered the room. ,4Oood evening, John," said William, in a kindly tone, at the same tune 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 hesitatingly to the salutation. For an instant he , looked up into his brother's face, and during that in stant there flashed across his mind a wish that he had never offended. "John," continued William, still stand--ng, 'you know well what has pa,cd to make us both unhappy." "Yes, I know," answered. Johu, hardiy knowing what tone to assume. "Well, my brother," continued William,' while a tear glistened in his eye, and at the same time' extending his hand, "I have come to bury the evil that has risen up be tween us.' If you have wronged me, I freely forgive you ; if I have been harsh and unbrotherly towards you, I ask that you will forget it. Come, let us be friends once more." Like an electric shock came this speech upon tbe ears of John Stains. A moment he stood half bewildered, and then the tears broke forth from his eyes. He reached forth his hand, but his words were broken and indistinct. He had not expected this from his qtern 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 byfeeUng, a trembling handhudup- 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, I pray our Maker that you may never be unhappy more." John Stains knew that his mother ha 1 been the angel who had touched the heart of his brother, and it did not alter his for giveness. "Oh," he murmured, "I have been very wrong I have abused you, my brother ; but if you can forgive me, I will try to make it all up.'" "Your love will repay it all, John. Let me have your love, and I will try uevur to lose it more." "Now I am truly happy," said the aced mother, as she gazed with pride upon her Cbaagwd by Taara.

CaewatoeU te rUfcMUtta order Of Juat aa I Expected, A day or two since a traveler from the East walked into the Cass House, Detroit, with his grip sack in one hand and jthe other pressed to his jaw, and he wasn't long in permitting fifteen or twenty people to know that he had been afflicted with ithe toothache every minute since 7 o'clock the previous evening. He couldn't eat drink nor staid still, and when some one asked him why he? didn't go to a dentist,? he replied. .1 "Because I haven't got the pluck! Here I am, a great big six-footer, able to knrt down ah ox, and yet I haven't got the grit is as kind as yours, and he is all generosity and love to his friends. More than forty years have passed over John's head, and during all that time he never spoke one un kind word to his poor mother." ,"And did I ever speak unkindly to you, my mother?" asked William Stains, in a half hushed voice. "No, no ; you and John have both kind hearts, and it grieves me sirely to see you as you are now. Ah, William, I fear that you do not perceive how nobie a thing it is to forgive those who have injured you.'" The man made no reply to his mother. He saw that Bhe was unhappy, and he knew that he was himself unhappy also. In for mer yeais he had loved his brother, and he knew that he had been faithfully loved in return. 1 he trouble which had so unfor tunately separated them, had been trivial in its beginning; but William's sternness of will and John's hastiness of temper had kept the fire on the increase. ' The first fault had belonged to the younger brother, but a word of explanation at the time might have healed it without any trouble; now, however, the affair had become deep and dangerous, and there was but one way for remedy. That way the aged mother would point out. "William," continued Mrs. Stains, speak ing in a trembling tone, "I can spend but a iew snort days longer on earth. I feel that sons. "Now I can die in peace. Oh, my boys, if you would have your children sure of happiness in after life, teach them that forgivene 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 boons that could be given them for life.

The Captain would not listen to reason that Is, he would not listen to me. All the letters I wrote lo Jemima were sent back to me. I grew weary, packed up and packed off, with a letter of introduction to a firm ia China. Well, the fortune was not so easy to make, but at the expiration of twenty years I began to think it suffl clemlv latve to warrant my return to "the girl 1 left btdiind me." I had heard very little from home. Father and mother were still alive, but the Captain was dead. They had i-arried him through the cornfields one summer's day to the little churchyard, and there they buried him. Jemima, 1 understood, lived in tbe old house and was still single.
