Shcemaker, in jXew York %Yeirs. The Minister's. Old Coat. '* Minister sons are very apt to turn out badly," said I to the gentleman who sat nexi to me in tho car. We had met in th - train, bound lor Ciiicngo, and lto.ll struck up an acquaintance. He stopped me with his hand on my arm and with an earnest look which I shall never forget. I paused at once in what I wassaying. :md it M'wned for a moment almostff the rushing train had stopped to listen, too. "Let me tell you a-story," he said. " I know it is a common belief that minist rs' pons are wild, but this is because people talk about the bad ones, while those who turn out well are taken :is a matter of course. I gathered statistics about them once, and found that out of a thousand sons of ministers there were very few who did not grow up useful rind industrious men." "But what is ycur story?" I asked, settling back in my seat. "Well "said he, "it begins with a class-supper in Boston, a dozen years ago. A number of old college friends i.'Mrl mlherfd in the evening for their annual reunion. Among them was the ricu merciiiuu, J. E. Wiliiston?perhaps j'ou nave nPara ot aim?aim a pvui pn-xtor of a country church i \ Elmbank vil 3a<?e, out in Western Massachusetts, whose name was IJhko. A good many ot the class had died, and the dozen or so elderly men who were left felt more tender than ever toward each other, as i hey thought of the bright old days at Harvard, and how soon no one would be left on earth who shared in that happy time. "The dishes came and went, the lights glowed brilliantly, and at hist tiie friends grew quite gay. But the tender feeling I have spoken of would come uppermost, now and then; and in one of these musing moments Williston's rye was attracted by something glistening anbut the coat which his iriend 15lake, who sat next to him, had on. "He looked closer, and saw that the black cloth of which the coat was made had been worn so thin and smooth that it was very shiny. " * Well, Blake,' said he. suddenly, taking hold of his friend's arm cordially (which he somehow hadn't thought of doing before) 4 how has the world gone witli vmi " Blake had " a naturally sad anil thoughtful lace; but lie looked around quickly, with a warm smile. " 'Xo heed to ask,' he said, laughingly. 4 You can read the wh.le story on my back- This old coat is a sort of balance s'icet. wb'-'h shows my financial condition to a T.' " Then lie spoke more serionsiy. addin ir, 4 It is a pretty hard life, Williston, th.it of :i countrj parson. I don't complain <>t my lot, though sometimes I'm distressed for my family. The fact is, this coat I've got on is hardly lit for a man ot my profession to appear in; but I'm going to send my boy Sam to Harvard this year, and must pinch here and rherc to du it. I really ought to be t hankful, though, that I can get such advantages for hi ui by a lew little sacrifices of personal appearance and convenience.' "' Don't you give a thought to your coat, oM fellow.' returned Williston. ' Nobody who knows you will ever imagine that the heart inside of it is threadbare, however the garment may look.' " Blake was pleased with this kindly expression; and both men. after that exchange of confidence, felt happier. But, among the various incidents ot the evening, this one almost passed out of the minister's mind by ttie next day, wnen ne suiriea jor fttmomiK. Speedy :fe his return was, however, somethiug meant lor him had got to his destination before him. It was a letter. Taking it up, he broke open the envelope. and found inside a few won Is from Williston, with a cheek for *500 to defray the first year's college - xpenses ol his old classmate's son. " Vou :ire a stranger to me, sir," said my traveling companion, at this point, " but I think you will appreciate the feeling with which poor Mr. Blake ?tuod in his bare and dingy study in the old farm parsonage, holding that letter in his baud, and fifling his faithful eyes in thankfulness to God." "Yes," I replied. MVilliston did j just the right thing, too And how was n? Dirt rtieson show that he deserved ? the help?" * My acquaintance looked away lrom I me at the rich country through which j we were passing. Then lie said: "Sam. IJiakn was a good-natured, obedient fellow enough, and was greatly ! pleased to have the expense of his first i-oiif 'c vi'mv Triken ntV his lntlipr''>; shoul <lers; but !?:s spiisp of duty didn't go very f:ir. The Rev. Mr. Iilake bought: anew coat. :ind Sam entered Harvard ii:at I*:; i j; ::nd here matter? stopped for; a while. ' A irishman has a great deal to learn, as >ou know; but I think the chief thjng Sam learned tiiat term, was 1 t!ie great difference tliere is between ; Harvard and a liitle village like Kim- 1 b ink. and the great difficulty of working and playing at the same time. " Here he had society meetings to attend, and rooms of his own, with a chum, where a good deal of smoking : was done by himself and his friends. And then there was baseball, into which il appeared indispensable lor the honor >i in.- cla<s t hat he should enter actively, on account of his strong legs, wonderful wind and ground batting. -Mild not refuse to go to the t In::i i tsionally with his richer companions. Sam took a natural iutcrT st. in tin? society of young ladies, tco, and had to give up some time to its cultivation. He aiso thought a moderate amount, ol practice in the aymnastuui w:is desirable, to prevent his hca.th breaking down under the confinement ol study. So. on the whole, the actual work that he ciid in the college course was not very extensive. "This didn't seem to have any bad cfiV'ct. till well alonir in the winter, when '.he* habit of shirking work had grown so strong, without ins noticing it, that h<- fi-Jl easily into reiding novels when he ought to hav been in tin: recitation room, (iy thnusium, theater, billiards, smoking?and I aui afraid I must sav a lit: It; drinking?frittered away his time. One horribly snowy, slec.y morning when lie had got up too inte fo>prajcrs, the postman hroujrJit him a note from the laculty?an admonition.1 lie dropped the pipe lie was just li^htin/. and bolted ott" to recitation, jiiit tu 'dended' immediately, and that di?o-uraged him. " lie soon began to make light of the warning. and did himself no credit n Irs >t tidies. Though lie managed to M|iieeze through t!ie examination attlje (!.)'! <>; tue ircsnman year, iieuiiidp out t.tr <i<>wn toward the foot of his class. ' fie wasn't quite contentei with hltrcelf, and thought he\i try to do bet? ! the next year.

And av|i it 'do you suppose w is the lirst sight, lhat m-'t him at home? It was*his father out in the field, ! ?j, ' digging for new potatoes, liis coat off. and his spectacled face perspiring! "The sight struck shame into the boy. He vaulted the fence, and runnimr up with hardly a pause for greeting, cried: "4 Oh, father, let me do that! I don't like to see you at such work.' " Mr. Blake stopped and looked ear nestly and rather sadly at uim. " 4 Well. Sam. T think that's about as ?ood a 44 How-do-you-do?" as you coulct have offered me. There's something right about you, after all.' 44 It hadn't occurred to Sam that then was any doubt on that point before. II< ??a oclrnrl ' Wheiv'sthe hired mai:?" " I've discharged him. I i'an't afford one at present, my son,' was the answer. "Sam was rather puzzled, and began to reflect. " They went into the house, and there, when the minietcr reappeared after making his toilet' his son noticed that he wore the old shabby, shiny coat. At this he was more than evci astonished. "The supper, also, notwithstanding that it whs the first night of the prodigal's return, was very meager. Not :i "rot( !,? .rnH Sam anisic IUAUI y na^vii n>\ observed that his father and motiifv took no sugar nrr butter. Ilis own appetite began to fail at seeing this, and i his perception \va> sharpened accordI ingly. He was now aware tlujt hi* father looked very thin, as well :.s sad. Suddenly he laid down his knife, and oxclaimed to his sister Kitty: 444 Sis, what does all this meau??this going without the hired man, and starving ourselves?' "His sister looked at him, then glanced at Mr. Blake and her mother, and made no answer. " 4 4 4 I thought,1 said Sam, petulantly, 'that Williston's money was going ic I make it easy for you, father; and here | the pinching is?oingon five times worsf j than ever.' ' ' I don't own my friend WillistonV money,'said the minister, quietly. 44 4 Of course not. But the live bunared dol'? Sam stopped abruptly on an entreating gesture from his sister. "The subject was not resumed. But before he went to bed, Sam obtained ar. interview with his sister alone. Hr felt, secretly, that he was responsible for the depression and trouble wliidi seemed to fill the household, but thai only made him speak more impetuously. 4 Now, sis,' he began, 4 can I get two words of sense out of you?' 41 * A AnU ?Al{ffl] If ' cllfl IT. " 01 uuiii js^iv puintij, &ki\. implied. "'Well, then, please tell me what the mystery is.' "' It.oughtn't to he a mystery to you, Sam, that you haven't done well at college. Papa is terribly disappointed.' "'I don't see why he should commit Buicide, if he is,' Sam retorted. 'It haven't cost him much this year.' "'Oh yes, you have. Do you know he actually sold the new coat?' " ' Why?' Sam frowned. "4 Because he's been trying every way to save money since he began to get reports ot how you were wasting your time.' "'What for?' asked Sam, though he began to suspect. " Well, he how should I know?? Don't you see? He's ashamed to have had that money from his old classmate, and he's nearly saved enoueii, and he's ijoinji to pay it all back. There, I was to keep it secret, and now I've told l you!' And his sister burst into tear*. 'You've nearly broken his heart, Sampoor papa!' "The next day Mr. Blake's son went oli" directly after breakfast, and was not seen again till afternobn. " Coming back, he overtook his father ] returning from the postottice. I "' I know :ill about it!' he exclaimed, I in his excitement. 'Katy told me la^t j night. I wish, though, you'd held on ! to the new coat awhile.' "'Why?' asked Mr. Blake, imperI turbably. " * Because,' said Sam, ' I'm going to j pay my ownway now. I've been oil' to! day and hired out lor the season to ! Farmer Hedgeburton. You won't sen<1 ] that money to Williston, will you, ' father?' '"You are too late,'was the giinisi ter's answer. I've just mailed the letj ter to him.1 " In fact, next day the kind merchant's j eyes were dimmed as lie read these I words: j "'Dkai: Wii.mston: My boy?it:?jI most breaks my h?art to say so?has not j proved worthy ot j;our generosity. I I have decided to return the sum which you sent me lor him lust year, :tnd you i will lind a draft enclosed for th:d i amount. Blake.'" Here I interrupted the narrator. , " Doesn't this story prove what I said j at the beginning?" 1 asked. , " No; for that isn't the end of it. Sar.: i went down to Boston in the autumn with a faw dollars of earnings in his pocket, fie had decided to give up col lege, sind so applied to Mr. Williston for i a clerkship. 44 Ho told "him : 4,41 proved myself unworthy, as my father said. Now give me a chance to show myself worthy.' "Williston gave him a position, and he worked there two years. Then asi opportunity offered to go West and take a partnership in?what do you think? The clothing business! Sam jumped at it; and you may believe he sent his father, next Christmas, the finest coat that concern could produce. 441 am a well-to-do man now, sir.1' continued my acquaintance, suddenly speaking in the lirst person, "and when we get to Chicago, if you will come to mv establishment. I will show you my father, the minister's, old shiny coat., which I preserve bccause it was the beginning of my fortune, and made a man of inc." 44Theu," I exclaimed, taking him by the hand. 44 it is yourself you have been talking about all tiiis time! You are?" 44Sam," concluded my new friend, nodding and smiling. ? (teorqn V. Lathrop, in Voulh\t Companion. The Hartford four ant, referring to the annual statement of the iEtna Life Insurance Company, says: 44 It shows the continued prospeiityof that exeeption?llv wpII m?rmirpfl ?nrt strnnrr irmfritii tion. No life company in the country, as to the solid character of its assets and investments, can make a more convincing statement. It is to be particularly observed in this fresh announcement of the condition of the company that during the past year the assets have been increased $513,391.17, while the surplus above all liabilities has added the sum of $230,838.09. The receipts for interest alone have been $1,856,710.46, and this amount has paid all death losses and the running expenses, and left a balance over of $61,1*29.07.

Except in the height of the summer, the native of Berlin seems to have a de, cided preference for underground ctn; vivialiiy. He is indifferen to ventilation, rind delights in the darkness. Most : characteristic, perhaps, of the modern places of entertainment is the great 1 range of vaulted drinking cellars under the Rathhaus. King William himself paid them a ceremonial visit soon after their opening, when he drank to th<health of his loyal subjects from a silvt r ; flagon of ale.

Personnel of the United States Senate, The Senate of the United States consists of seventy-six members, and of this number titty are practicing lawyers, Of the 293 member? of the House ol Representatives 219 ure lawyers. The President and Vice-President of the United States are lawyers, and nearly ill the government departments are headed and nirecieo oy tne same profusion. In the Senate, especially imong the Senators themselves, eacij member^s ability is gauged by his rank is a lawyer. When the status of an in oming Senator is under discussion the remark i9 very frequently made: " He in i tine lawyer and will make a good Senator." Because the man is a good lawyer the supposition with Senators is Hat he must therefore be a lirst-class statesman- Why the people of the United States give 3uch a preference to ;he profession of law in selecting their legislators and rulers is a problem that annot be answered. In the Senate here is only one physician, and in the Bouse there are but six.

He was, however, re-elected to .he Senate immediately after being iniugurated as governor, and afterward igain resigned to become Vice-President n the United States. Mr. Bruce, of Mississippi, is the youngest Senator, lot being .vet thirty-nine years of age.

Andrew Jackson's Lore for His Wife. The deep affection felt bv President *' Andrew Jackson tor his wife is illustrated by an incident related by the late is Nicholas P. Trist, who was for some >- time his private secretary. " One evenjf ing," writes Mr. Trist, " after I had c- parted with him for the night, revolvr ing over the directions he had given ie about some letters I was to prepare, one fc, point occurred on which T was not perce fently satisfied as to what those direch tioDB had been. As the letters were to e lie sent off early next morning, I returned to his chamber door, and tapr ping gently, in order not to awake bim n if he had got to sleep, my tap was a- answered by 'Come in.' He was unt dressed, but not yet in bed, as I had x supposed he must be by that time.
