‘Who is that very fine looking old
gentleman ?’ I asked; ‘the one

button-hole, and such exquisite
hair? He puts me so much

‘That,’ said my friend, ‘is Mr,

‘Not brothers ?’
‘Yes, brothers. One of them
the most true-hearted, magnificent
fellow in the world, the other utter

‘No need to tell me which, ’said I,
‘that squatty little creature with
the mean countenance, Mr. John
is a very different person from his
splendid brother.’
‘Very different,’ said my l friend
with a peculiar expression. ‘I know
their history, and I’ll tell it to you
if you choose to listen.’

Peter obeyed his mother, and
and went back to his marbles;
John disobeyed her, and hid [him
self in a corner. After a while he
bethought him that she might like
some tea, and took it to her. The
poor worried woman lay with her
face to the wall. She was dead!
Never more would she trudge
through mud and mire, to’the shop
of the crimping tailor, with a great
bundle'of vests !^INever more
would she shed tears over the fa
ded little miniature of the man who
had caused her to be plunged into
all this poverty by running away
trom her afterward! John and Pe
ter, who stood looking at their moth
er’s dead face, learned for the first
time that she had been pretty, for
death ironed out the wrinkles and
hard lines, and gave Margaret
Grant back her girl’s face again for
an hour or two. She was ooly thir
ty-two, though the twin boys were
sixteen years of age, and people
generally spoke of her as an old wo
man.
John was like his mother, and
had, if possible, too much feeling
for others. Peter, like his father,
was a selfish fellow; he was ever so
much the handsomer. Nothing
like selfishness for beauty. So long
as he, Peter had what he wanted,
what cared he for the rest of the
world ?
•The two orphans started off to
gether when all was over—Peter
ahead, with his hands in his pock
ets; John behind, with a bundle on
his shoulder, in which were all
their clothes and the Bible. He
never thought of asking Peter to
share the burden, nor did it occur to
the latter to propose a division, un
til, having been in the city two
weeks, and still finding no employ
ment, Peter found John’s economy
unbearable, and one night divided
their possessions according to his
sense of justice. He took the mon
ey and left John the purse; he took
the clothing and left John the Bible
and decamped. John on awaken
ing, found himself without money
for a night’s lodging, and without
a clean shirt. He cried a little, and
put the empty purse in his bosom,
for his mother had knitted it. He
wrapped the Bible in paper and
took it under his arm, begged a
piece of bread that night, earned
one the next day, had none the day
after, and at last found a shopkeep
er who wanted a boy, and became
liis drudge for wages enough to
keep him in shoe-leather. He did
liisduty,wept secretly now andjthen
for his brother, read his mother’s
Bible, wore her purse against his
heart,'and was considered rather ;a
stupid sort.of fellow, of no conse
quence whatever in this world..
‘Ho had been two years with the
shopmaker,and was going on an er
rand for him one day, when, paus
ing to stare through the window of
a hotel, he saw, among the waiters
who were spreading the table, a
face and figure which he knew—
those of his brother Peter! A flood
of emotions rolled over the poor fel
low’s soul as he saw him.
‘There’s Peter,’ he said to himself.
How well he looks! Poor old Pe
ter! 1 was wrong to be angry with
him. He always wanted good
things, and I was afraid to spend
money. He always was forgetful,
too; I’ve no doubt he forgot I hadn’t
more money still and another bag
of clothes. He used to be just so
forgetful when we went to school
together. Often used to eat up
both our lunches; never thought a
minute. He’ll be glad to know I’m
well. I’ll call to him.’
‘So he went up close to the great
plate glass window and called:
‘Peter Harrison! Peter Harrison!
come here!’
‘Peter turned, saw his brother,
and knew him in a moment, and
thought that John had come after
his share of the money. He was m
black, with a white cravat, and
John was patched about the knees,
and had no cravat whatever. Pe
ter was very much ashamed and
afraid of him.
•What do you want, young man ?,
he said.
‘I’m John , don’t you know
me?’cried the poor brother. 1
‘No,’ said Peter, ‘nor I don’t want
to. Shut the .window, one of you
there. He’s after the spoons.’
Poor John retreated.
‘It can’t be he’d treat me so, if he
knew me,’ he said. ‘I must have al
tered very much.’ And his heart
was heavier than before, for he tri
ed to believe this, but he could not
thoroughly do so; and if he had, he
would have seen Peter again and
proved his identity. He labored
on for two more years, climbed a
round of the ladder, wore good
clothes, laid by saving, and had
more to live for altogether, for he
had now fallen in love with the
pretty young daughter of his mas
ter, who was not averse to the
match, and- held out hopes that he
would take his future son-in-law
into partnership. He was still
plain and awkward, and too con
scientious to seem very bright to
most folks, but Hetty liked him,
and that was enough for his happi
ness. Probably they would have
married, and the partnership would
have come to him as he hoped, but
that at this juncture news of his
brother reached him. Peter had
taken some silver from the hotel,
and had been locked up for it. He
was now free, but very ill and with
out means of support. He had
heard of his brother’s prosperity,
had the impudence to send for him.
“Honest John flew to his aid at
once, took him home, shared his
room with him, gave him a suit of
clothes, and keeping his anteced
ents in the background, introduced
him as the brother who had been
iost and was found, and in the sim
plicity of his heart told his dear
brother how happy he was in Het-
te’s love and also, though that did
not enhance her value in his eyes
one whit, that she was an heiress.
The handsome brother listened. A
month from that day he eloped
with Hetty Sugarloaf whom he had
captivated with his beauty, and
left John to bear his grief and the
grocef’s wrath as best he might.
The grocer was unjust, forgetting
that John was the most deep injur
ed of the two; he blamed .him for
his brother’s treachery, and signi
fied to him that their connection
had better cease. As for his daugh
ter, he did not forgive her, as Peter
had doubtless hoped he would, but
made his will next day, and left all
his property to an asylum. After
which to give himself no chance of
relenting, he died at once of apo
plexy.
‘.John was heart-broken. This
time he felt that patience ceased
to be a virtue. He vowed never to
forgive Peter, but he admitted that
Hetty could not held preferring so
splendid and graceful a fellow to
his dumpy little self. He had even
interceded with the grocer, though
in vain, to insure his daughter from
starvation, which as Peters’s wife
seemed very likely to be her fate,
since Peter had not a cent to bless
himself with, and hated work. And
dow he settled down into a dull
bachelor life, spending little, earn
ing his low salary honestly, and
saving enough as he said to him
self, to bury him decently when all
was over. He was twenty-three
when he began it. In his humble
lodging a picture of the false Hetty
hung over the mantel, and a flowea
she had worn in |her hair on the
last night of their meeting was laid
away withered, in its envelop of
silver paper, in a little drawer. He
was very patient and very good to
children; but he grew gray early;
and acquired a little hopeless stoop
of the shoulders, as one, who looked
at the ground oftener because there
was little in the horizon of the fu
ture for him to look at. And so he
dwelt nntil he was forty, when his
grandfather, now an old, old man
nearly a hundred years of age, but
sharp and bright as most men of
sixty, in some way became aware
of his existence and sent for him.
John went. When asked for news
of his brother, even honest John
could not help letting out the truth
and the old man seized upon it with
avidity. ‘He is his father out and
out,’he said.' ‘You belong to our
side.’ And delighted with the
thought of forgiving his daughter
and punishing her husband by
proxy, he at once made a will leav
ing all his money, goods and chat
tels to John Harrison and his heirs
lorever.
‘John was more astonished than
delighted. But he remained with
the old man during the few more
years of life that were allotted to
him;and when they were over,
found himself rich; if there had
been any one to share the money
with him, it might have been of
some use, he thought; but since
there was no one, what could he do
with it? And thinking this, he rode
in his little gig one day through the
streets of the city, when an humble
fungal caught his eye— a hearse
and one carriage, but in that car
riage sat— the only mourner—his
brother, Peter Harrison. John knew
at once, then who it was that he
followed to the grave, and joined
the train. He alighted and stood lis
tening to to the funeral service—so
short and so cold, as it seemed to
him—that was uttered over the
grave ol the woman he had loved
so well, and he saw tears fall from
Peter’s eyes. ‘At least he loved her,’
he wiid to himself; and when all
was over, went to his brother’s 6ide.
‘Peter, he said, ‘don’t yon know
me?’
‘Peter, very shabby and very dis
consolate, looked at his brother’s
honest face, and held out his hand
‘Let by-gones be by-gones,’ he
said, as magnanimously as though
he had been the injured one. ‘She
is gone. She was a good little wo
man—ear nt a great deal by teach
ing music. I feel her loss. The
last word she said was your name.’
“Great tears rolled down John’s
cheeks.
“Yes, your name,’ said Peter, see
ing he had produced the right im
pression. “I’m very poor, John;
haven’t a dollar in the world: sick
ness costs so much! How glad I am
to see you; it’s such a comfort,
John.’
’Come home with me, brother Pe
ter,’said John,- wiping his eyes
‘You always had an affectionate
Jieart—if you would but have re
membered the feelings of others. I
knew you’d be glad to see me.
And she spoke of me ? Ah, dear
me!
‘Then he helped the mourner in
to his gig, and they drove home to
gether.
‘That’s their house,’ said my
friend, pointing to the mansion in
whose garden we saw the two old
men. ‘Peter is as much master
there as John, and he certainly is
one of the most elegant looking old
men I ever saw. Poor John is as
mean and common Jooking as ever
and so it has come about that peo
ple say of him as you did: How in
ferior John Harrisonis to his broth
er! and believe that all noble qual
ities are centered under that beau
tiful head of white hair that Peter
grows; while no one thinks any
thing of John except the children.
But I know that the first is a cold-
hearted, selfish, plausible fiend, and
the other a true-hearted, forgiving
old angel, and cannot understand
how every one does not know it.’
My friend ceased, and I looked at
the two old men again; and this
time (thanks tu her story, I suppose)
I saw twice the grandeur and beau
ty on the shock gray head of the lit
tle old man digging among the
flowers, that I could in the floating
silvery locks of Jthe fine-featured
old gentleman with the rose in his
button-hole, who had put me so in

looked at him.

Leffingwell-Slote, who had just
graduated at Wellesley, was told
that there was a probability of a
short hay crop- this year, she re
marked that she supposed it
would’t be so bad if the grass crop
turned out well. She presumed

Reply to J. W. Gardner, by an Old Texan,
but a Former Citizen of Carroll County.
Editor Free Press:—I have
just read “The West,” by Mr. Gard
ner in your issue of 17tn inst. Or
dinary I would not feel called up
on to say one word in answer to
such a communication. The only
thing whichjso causes me to deviate
from a well establishad rule of ac
tion in this instance is the fact,
that I happened to be in Carrollton
andBowdon at same time with Mr.
Gardner, and gave a somewhat dif
ferent account of the West. This
still would not have called for a re
ply, except for the fact that he un
dertook to speak for the West in
general, and to advise immigration
on part of all classes who care to
better their condition morally, so
cially, intellectuallyand financially.
I know very little of southwest
Arkansas, and hence what I may
say will have no reference to that
section. If things there are as re
ported by Mr. Gardner, he was cer
tainly justifiable in his wholesome
advice. But I apprehend, that be
fore he shall have been there ten
years, he will learn how much one
risks after a few months stay, in
attempting to give the average
yield of corn, cotton, oats, etc
shall be slow to believe that any
healthy section of the United States
will give an average yield of more
than one bale of cotton to the aere
It will be observed that Mr. Gard
ner puts the yield of cotton per acre
in his section at from three-fourths
to one and one-half bales per
acre, more than average yield
of one bale to the .acre. I have re
sided in Texas for 14 years. The
first eight years I spent in Smith
county, which I consider the best
portion of East Texas. The last
six years I have spent in Kaufman
county, about 30 miles east of Dal
las. During my stay in Texas ]
have had occasion see much of oth
er sections of the State, but believe
I may safely assert that a circle
whose radius is 75 miles and whose
center is Dallas circumscribes the
richest body of farming lands in
the State—when taken as a whole.
The price of lands here run from $3
to $15 per acre unimproved, and
from $10 to $30 improved. The rule
is to sell lands for part cash, and to
give liberal terms as to time for
balance, charging 10 per cent, in
terest on different payments.
It costs more money to improve
lands here than with you, for the
reason that we have to buy every
thing. You make your own rails
for fence and boards to cover hous
es. If you want an outhouse, cribs,
stables, etc, you have only to fell
your logs. Here, if you would fence
your land, you must buy wire,
posts, plank, etc. If you would
build onthouses, you must buy lum
ber, nails and shingles. With you
improvements cost labor; with us
money. Our lands will average
about >« bale of cotton, and 40 bush
els of oatsand twenty five bushels
of corn per acre. Potatoes, vegeta
bles and fruits grow well. Lands
rent for $3 and $4 per acre, or for
>3 corn and M cotton, etc. Farm
hands cost|about $15 per month. We
pay from fifty cents to a dollar per
hundred for picking cotton.
We have good schools and chur
ches. We have a healthy country,
but the sick are ever with us. We
have a rich country, but many poor
people. There is nothing in the old
idea that one coming here from
your State must undergo a course
of chills and fever
before before becoming
acclimatized. Our summers are
hotter and our winters colder than
yours. Wood and water are in
many places scarce. The latter
is not so cool with us as with you.—
We have a few running streams in
summer and fall. To me this is the
prettiest country I have ever seen.
Broad prairies dotted with timber
and covered with green grass and
growing crops present no bad
picture. While I write I have on
ly to raise my eyes to look over five
miles of just such a scene. These
lands need no guano. They are too
rich already. But when winter
comes this green grass and these
growing crops will have disappear
ed; the scene willliave changed.—
So much for Texas.
Bat why say to all classes in
Georgia “go west,” why spread dis
content among a people who
might, if they would, do well where
they are? The man who depends
upon his own labor to enrich
upon the man. My own opinion is
that only such among you as have
some means, have ambition to en
large their possessions, coupled
with pluck, energy and health, need
come to Texas.
Guano may be a bad thing for
the farmer, but high priced labor
and scarcity of wood and water
are little better for him. AVe have
many farmers but few rich ones.
The greatest trouble I saw with
your people was that they all seem
ed anxious to “go west.” They ap
peared to look on. the man who
said go slow in this matter with
suspicion. In looking out for rich
lands to till, they seem to forget
such advantages as they have. My
idea is that many of your people
could find profitable employ
ment in beautifying their present
homes, enriching their lands, re
newing their orchards, and reading
good newspapers.* And I hardly
feel that they could reasonably
hope to better their condition so
cially, morally and intellectualy by
going, from Georgia to Southwest
Arkansas. Barney Word

A Few Anecdotes of a Couple
Judges.
Judge Cone, of Greene county,
was in his day one of the ablest
lawyers in the State. He was full
of humor and enjoyed making fun
for others. He represented Greene
county in the Senate. He was ap
proached soon after his election by
a candidate for Doorkeeper, who
came to his room canvassing for
votes. He asked the Judge for his
support, when the following con
versation took place:
“Have you ever kept a* door?”
asked the Judge.
“No, sir.”
•‘Have you ever seen a door
kept?”
“No, sir.”
“Have you ever read a treatise on
door keeping?”
“No, sir.”
“Well,” said the Judge, “I think
you unfit for such a responsible po
sition; but, if you will get the prop
er books and study and master the
art, I will vote for you next year.”
gentlemen’s horses.
J udge Dooly was very fastidious
about his quarters at the taverns,
and vvas a great terror to landlords,
who feared his wit and cunning re
marks if things did not suit him.
While he was on the bench the
Augusta lawyers practised in War
ren County Court, and usually came
vi,th equipages, servants, etc., in a
fyle he thought savored of osten
tation, and his jealousy was provo
ked on account of their receiving,
as he thought, more than their
share of attention from the land
lord.
One morning it was noticed that
he came from Mrs. Chapman’s, in
stead of Parris’ tavern, where he
had been staying the first days of
court. Some one asked him what
was the matter.
He said he had gone to a place
where he hoped he would be con
sidered a gentleman, for, said'he,
“I went to the horse lot, and seeing
ray horse in the rain, I inquired
why he was not stabled, and was
told by the holster that the stable
was full of‘gentlemen’s horses, sah.’
“I made the same inquiry about
my sulky, which I found exposed
to the weather, and was told that
the carriage house was full of ‘gen
tlemen’s carriages, sah.”
“I askek for a glass in my room,
and was told that the looking-glass
es were all in the ‘gentlemen’s room
sail.’
“And when I asked for any nec
essary article I received the reply
—‘all in the gentlemen’s rooms,
sah.’
“I said I wouldgo where I would be
considered a gentlemen, too, so I
went to Mrs. Chapman’s where I
hope to sustain that character.”
DISCHARGE HIM.
Avery pretentious landlord in
one of the counties of the North
ern Judicial Circuit, keeping a
“very common hotel,” was always
goingtohave great improvements
to his house, table, furniture, etc.--
Aftermany false promises of the
kind, at last a court day came,
when he redeemed them all by a
dish of which any landlord, as he
thought, should feel proud.
At dinner time there was the
dish. It was a pig roasted whole,
stuffed to bursting with light bread,
onions, etc., standing erect as life,
flanked by Irsh potatoes, and hav
ing a big red apple in its mouth.
The pig faced Judge Dooly, and
the Judge faced the pig \yith a quiz
zical expression.
The^carving-knife and fork were
handy; lawyers were all around
the table. No one offered to carve
the pig. ^Dinner ended with the
pig as perfect as when it began.
Supper came, the pig come and
went. The same thing was repeat
ed at the three meals next day.
The second morning, when Judge
Dooly came to the table, there was
the pig. Making a bow, the Judge
