FOR HIS BROTHER'S SAKE. BY COL. G. W. SYMOXDS. "The Governor pardoned John Brisben. a penitentiary conviet, to day, lie woa sent up Irom Lourbon for fifteen years for forgery, and had ten vears yet to serve. Our readers are familiar with the history of this ease, and the humane action of his Excelloncy will be generally com mended." rrankfort (Ai.) Yeoman. I read this httie paragraph anil my mind went back six years. knew John Brisben, and I also knew his twin brother Joseph. I was fa miliar with the details of the action that placed John Brisben in a felon's cell, and now when the sad affair is brouzht back to mind 80 vividly must write it out, for Dever before have I met. in prese or poetry, in real life or romance, a creater hero than plain, matter of fact John Bris ben. The Brisbens came of good 6tock. I think the creat grand father cf my hero emierated to Kentucky when Kenten's Station, between the pres ent city of Maysville and the histor ic old town cf Washington was the principal on the "dark and bloody." lie came from upper rennsylva- nia and located aoout nve mues from the Ohio rivtr, on Limestone creek. He was an industrious, strong limbed. lion hearted old fellow, and in a few years his surroundings were of themost comfortable description One of hLj sons, Edwin Brisben once represented Kentucky in the Federal Congress. 1 think he was the grandfather of John and Joseph Brisben. Their father's name was S.tniuel, and he died when they were little Va 1 1 I fori laaatrinnr Viia iv wItxt an ut. VUlltAi tUl At V A a. - "IVIlll Ul cellent blue gras3 farm and a snug little fortune in stocks, bonds and mortgages. The widow remained a widow until her death. Mrs. Samuel Brisben was a good woman and she idolized her twin boys. Like most twins the brothers resembled each other in a fctriking manner, and even intimate acquaintances could not tell them apart But although the physical resemblance was so strong there was great dissimilarity in the dispositioi.s of the twins. Joseph was surly and morose, sometimes cunning and revengeful He was a dreamer and an enthusiast; a man Attll learned in books, a brilliant, frothy talker when he chose to be sociable, which was seldom, a splen did horseman and a most excellent shot John Brisben, on the contrary, was cheerful and bright honorable and forgiving. He was a man of high moral principles, intensely practical and methodical, cared little lor books, and although he said but little, was a splendid companion. He was a poor horseman, and I don't think he ever shot a gun off in his liff. He saw nothidn of the poetry of life, and as for sport, he enjoyed himself only when hard at work. He loved his brother, and when they were boys towether, suf fered punishment many times, and uncomplainingly, that 'Jodie' might go 6Cot free. His life was therefore one constant sacrifice, but the object of this lov ing adoration made but shabby re turns for this unselfish devotion. They were twenty years old when their mother died very suddenly. Joseph made a great pretense of grief, and was so hysterical at the grave that he had to be led away by friends. John, on the contrary, never dem onstrative, took the great affliction with his customary coolness. He said but little and Bhed no tears at all. The property left to the boys was considerable. The day they were twenty-one years old the trustees met and made settlement There was the blue grass farm yalued at $50,000, and $100,000 in well invest ed securities which could be turned into money. Joseph demanded a division. "You can take the farm, Jack," he said. "I was never cut out for a farmer. Giye me 875,000 in money for my share." So this sort of a division was made. John continued on at tbe homestead, working in his plain, methodical way, and slowly adding to his share of the money what he could raise out of the profits of the farm. set ESTABLISHED, 1827. SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. Joseph, with his newly acquired wealth, set up an establishment at the nearest town, and began a life of pleasure of the grosser sort His brother gave him no advice, for he knew that it was useless. Joseph spent his money with great prod gality and before he knew it he wes a beggar. In the meantime, John's 25,000 had doubled itself. One day Joseph came to him with a lull confession of his pecuniary troubles. "Jack," he said, "I am not only a beggar, but am heavily in debt Help me out, like a good fellow, and I will settle down ana begin life in sober earnest With my capacity for business I can soon make money to repay you. I have sown my wild oats, and with a little help I can soon recover all that I have squan dered so foolishly. For an answer John Brisben placed his name to an order for $25,- 000 he had earned so laboriously. Will that be enough, 'Jodie 7" he asked, "because I have . as much more, which vou can have if it is necessary." "This will be sumcient, old fellow," was the reply. In two years I wil pay it back." He went back to town, drew his money, paid his debts, sold some of his horses and discharged several of his servants Twenty thousand dollars was left out of the loan. He invested this in business, and for a time seemed re ally to have reformed. John was encouraged to say: "Jodie will come out all right He is smarter than I, and in five years will be worth more money than I could make in a lifetime." In less than three vears Joseph Brisben's affairs were in the hands of his creditors, and a sheriffs officer closed out his business. Aeain he turned to his brother for help and sympathy. 1 own that 1 mgnaged a tntle carelessly," he said by way of ex pi a nation, hxpenence is a dear teach er, and the lesson I have learned 1 shall never forget. If you come to my assistance now, I can soon re cover myself." Once more John Brisben placed his name to a check, navable to the order of his brother, and Joeepu en ... y tered into business again. In two vears he was a bankrupt "I shall never succeed in business. Jack." he said. "Help me out of this trouble and I will live with you on the farm. I shall succeed as farmer." It took all of John Brisben's hoard to pay his brother's debts, but he made no complaint, uttered no re proach. He said: I am glad you are coming back to the farm, Jodie - You need do no work, and we will be very nappy together." So Joseph took up his residence at the farm, and remembering his brother's words, devoted his time principally to hunting, fishing and ridinir about the country. In the meantime John Brisben had fallen n love, and the daughter of a neigh boring farmer, (Jompton, by name, was his promised wife. Being a man of strict honor hiinself, and having full confidence in his brother, he did not object when Joseph began to pay his allianced very marked at tention. "I am clad he likes her," he said. I am so busy on the farm that I ..... .. c J lave little lime ior pleasure, anu Alice is so fond of amusement" One nirht Joseph came to him just as tho shadows of evening; were beginning to tall, mere was a tri umphant ring in his voice when he poke. "Jack, old boy, be said, noiding out his hand, "congratulate me. I think that from to-day I can date the becinnine of a new life. Alice Compton has promised to be my wile. He was too much engrossed with his nf w hanniness to see the effect of thi3 announcement es portrayed on John's face. He did not notice how the strong man's hand trembled in his own. "Is that true?" faltered John at ast. "Why, of course it is. Are you ot clad ? We love each other and pfciill be very happy." " e love eacli other and snail be ery happy!" repeated John mechan ically, and all the sunshine of his ;fe sunk behind the heavy ciouas oi a 1 t a espair. "les, Jodie, 1 am glad, and I with you loug years of happi ness." He turned away and staggered, rather than walked, to bis own room, lie did not sur aa nignt. Once a deep,. sobbing groan strug gled to his lips, and the moonbeams struggling through the window fell full upon his face, and surprised two great tears stealing down bis ale cheeks. He brushed away this evidence of weakness and sorrow, and when the morrow came no one looking into his calm, serene eyes would have guessed how hard was the battle that had been fought and won in that lonely chamber. They were married, and the man rejected by the bride and supplant ed by the groom, was the first to congratulate the newly married pair. A vacant house on the farm was fit ted up for their reception, and John Brisben's money paid for the fur nishing. "Hereafter, Jdie," he said, "we will divide the profits of the farm. I don't need much, and you shall have the larger share." Ten years passed away, and John Brisben, an old man before his time, still worked from dawn till dark that his brother might play the gen tleman and keep in comfort the large family which the years had drawn around him. It bad been necessary to mortgage the old homestead to raise money to pay Joseph's gam bling debts, fox of late years he had played heavily and invariably lost his money. One day it was in the summer of 1877 a forged check was pre sented at one of the banks of the shire town, by Joseph Brisben, and the monev for which it called was unhesitatingly paid over to him. He was under the influence of liquor at the time and deeply interested in a game of cards for stakes, which was AUGUST 22, 1883. in progress. The check was for $2,' 500, 1 think. Before daylight the A j TTu Tj nexi morning josepn rsnsoen naa lost every cent of it To drown his chagrin he became beastly drunk, and while in this condition an officer arrived and apprehended him for forgery and uttering a forged check. The prisoner was confined in jail. and word of bis disgrace was sent to John Brisben. The latter read the message and a mist came over his eyes. He groaned audibly, and but for a strong effort of tbe will would have fallen to the floor, so weakened was be by the shock. "She must not know it," he said to himself, and he made instant preparations to visit his brother. When he reached the jail he was ad mitted to the cell of the. wretched criminal. The brothers remained together for several hours. What passed during tbe interview will never be known. When John Bris ben emerged from the jail he went straight to the magistrate who had issued the warrant for the apprehen sion of Joseph Brisben. "Squire," he said, in his slow, Hes itating way. "You have made a mis take." "In what way, Mr. Brisben ?" ask ed the magistrate, who had a high regard for his visitor. "You have caused the arrest of an innocent man." ,4But" began the magistrate. "Issue an order for my brother's instant release. He is innocent of the intent to do wrong. I am the guilty man. I forged the name of Charles Ellison to the check which he uttered. He did not know that it was forgery." i our cried the astounded mag istrate. You a forger impossi ble." "Nothing is impossible in these days," Baid the white haired old man bternly. "I alone am guilty. My brother is innocent So stoutly did he aver that he was the forger that the magistrate reluc tantly issued a warrant for his arrest and at the same time wrote an or der for the release of Joseph Brisben. My constable will be in soon. said the magistrate, but the old hero picked up both the papers. "I will not trouble him," he said, 1 will execute both papers. And he did. Handing the jailer their both papers, he explained meaning thus : They have made a mistake, It is I who am your prisoner. My broth er is innocent" Accordingly Joseph Brisben was released and returned to the farm. John remained at the jail a prisoner. hen the extraordinary allair be came known, several prominent men offered to go on tbe accused man's bond, but ne would not accept their kind offers. At the trial he plead guilty, and was sentenced to fifteen years' imprisonment at hard labor m the penitentiary. Joseph came to see him before he was removed to Frankfort, but their interyiew w?s strictly a private one. Joseph Brisben remained at the farm, but he was a changed man. rom the day of his release from jail down to the time of his death he was never known to touch a caid, and a drop of liquor never passed his lips Last April he died, and his con fession duly sworn to before a jus tice of the peace, was made public after his burial. In substance it was this : That he was guilty ot the forgery for which his heroic brother was suf fering a long imprisonment It was my brother s wish, not mine, reads the document lie insisted that be who had no ties of blood or marriage could better suf fer the punishment and disgrace than I who had dependent upon me a large family. oble John Brisben !

It is a continual source of annoy ance, or appears to be such, with certain of our agricultural writers to decry the plan or ' practice of the country boys leaving the farm to seek their fortunes in the city, and urge that the farm needs all the re cruits that it can muster, and the agricultural colleges should give in struction only to those who will sol emnly affirm that .they will: return to the farm and thereafter devote all their energies in building up an ag ricultural industry. Is this exactly in harmony with the best interests of our country, and will it contribute to tbe best devel opment of our nation? In consid ering this question two elements are encountered. 1 he one is that this country is rapidly growing, and each day promotes the diversity of our industries in the way of rapidly set tled farms, manufactories of every form and kind, railway building, telegraphs, telephones, and fast growing commercial enterprises, each and all of which promise steady labor to one class and salaried posi tions to another, and a rapidly aug mented population, on the other hand, opens a field for brain work in the professions, law, theology, medicine and the arts, that have lu crative positions and places before many a chance ior wealth and influ ence that are classed by the world as positions of wealth and aggrand izement The fact is that we are a progress ive nation, and to supply the needs of the people there is a call for re cruits to fill these created wants that must at last look to the farm for the material. As casto is not a possibility in a Republic like ours, the occupation of classes is not ar bitrary, but gives each and all the prerogative of choosing a profession, and it is this taste that is the real safeguard against national stagna tion and is the real promoter of our national greatness. It should be a matter of congratulation that the boys and girls do not all become farmers, or farmer's wives. To con fine the natural increase of popula tion upon the farm would soon cause a disarrangement between farm products, the needs of the peo ple and its final relation to com merce, that wo. lid soon give us a set back from which we could not re cover. The demand tor agricultural pro ducts abroad is based upon the for eign production, and is not unlimit ed as many suppose. As it is the productions of agriculture areas ful ly up to the demand abroad, and it is only when there is a wide spread failure in Europe that a most pay ing feature in farming in this coun try is attained, and thus it is readi ly seen that it is in this exodus from the farm, and the wider scope and spread of our other industries, that make3 farming a paying occupation, and the call is for the best man for the place, irrespective of parentage or place of birth. It is best by far that the boys do not all choose to stay upon the farm, though the farm calls for smart men, and has them in abundance. The roll call of a great city would attest the fact that the farm is grandly rep resented, and will continue to be. Fairly stated it is that so long as agricultural productions are fully up to the demand, there is an eternal fitness in the things that prompts the farm boys to go to college and then to separate each to his calling, as farmers, doctors, lawyers, etc , and it is this association in youth that brings, and is yet to closer bind, the profession of farming with the oth ers to work together in a com mon bond of progress that in pauses of retrospect looks back to tbe old farm and recognizes agriculture as the true base of all prosperity and nat ural progress. Blinkers. The question has often been asked "Why do horses wear blinkers?" We cannot answer the question. It seems to us that they are useless, ugly, and, to some extent injurious to the eyesight The most beautiful feature of the horse is its eye. If it were not " hid from our gaze," it would serve to denote sickness, pain or pleasure. Many a time would a driver spare the whip on seeing the animal's imploring eye. The argu ment in favor of blinkers is, we be lieve, that horses are afraid of pass ing carriages. Thin objictimi. if valid, is of little weight, as such tim idity would soon be overcome. We trust, now the cruel bearing i h;is been cast aside, that blinkers will also be abandoned a course which would, we feel assured, be attended with advantage to both man and horse. Ijincet. Learn a Trade. Do you know that tho Jews used to make parents teach every boy a trade, and begin when he was only five years old ? They said, "lie who does not teach his son a trade is much tbe same as if he taught him to be a thief." The Crown Prince of Germany is a good turner, his eldest son is an excellent artisan, ana another son was trained in a book bindery, and the present Emperor William keeps samples of their work in his cabinet, and shows them proudly. Why She Recovered. Into the child's sick-room walks a friend of the family, and going up to the bedside of the convalescent Bays : "Glad to see you are so much bet ter, Minnie."

What the Barometer Know. Higher barometer means that the mercury is nsmg and lower barom eter that it is falling. Higher pressure is synonymous with higher barometer, and lower pressure with lower barometer. In case of a higher barometer it indica tes a colder and contracting atmos phere and consequently a diminu tion ol moisture. A lower barometer indicates an expanding atmosphere with greater capacity for holding moisture. In case of rising barometer it in dicates a decrease of moisture and diminishes the liability for rain. A falling barometer indicates an increased amount of moisture and greater liability for rain, and with it we have an increase in cloudiness. When the barometer rises in cloudy weather it is generally an indication that the clouds will break and be followed with fair weather. A sudden change in tLe barom eter either rising or falling, is a fair indication of approaching high winds. At sunset if the sun goes down be hind or is obscured by a bank of clouds with a falling barometer, rain will follow in nineteen cases out of twenty on the succeeding day. If the sun be obscured at its setting by clouds, with a rising barometer and cooler winds, the chances are nine teen to twenty no rain will fall on the succeeding day. Ho Didn't Like It, A certain farmer of our acquaint ance, from the Del Valley settlement does not come to Austin very often but not long since he attended a theatrical performance, for the sec ond time in bis lite, lie was very indignant next day, and we asked him what was the matter. "Ill never go to another theatre as long as I live." by, what s occurred to preju dice you against the theaters ?''

One day the sergeant was drilling the company on the facings Right face, Left face, Right-about lace and of course, watched his men's feet closely to see that they went through the movements promptly. Noticing one pair of feet down the line that never budged at the command, the sergeant rushed up to the possessor of them, with drawn sword, and in menacing tones demanded: hat do you mean by not facing about when I tell you ? Ill have you put in the gurdad-house." "W hv, 1 did, sergeant I" said the trembling recruit "You did not, sir! Didn'M watch your feet ? They never moved an inch."
