Several ladiee were netted in a . email parlor. talking of tba recant etorm and ef-yMtarday's aermon. "And •hat do yoa think of the new nleiatorP' naked Mr*.

"Bar Armaria on one or. casion waa the means, I verily believe, ol saving flfiWer brother whose inclination* . bada fair to lead him tbe wrong way. He had always b»*u a vary gentle, good uu- j tared boy, bnt from the age of sixteen till j be waswightoen, ho began to bo irregnlar in *bia habits. Still he was not openly dis- j obedient— and my mother, who waa a j praying woman, entertained hopes that in j time her wanting* end cara might have : inch an affaet as aha d»««red.

" 'So von are. in many things," my mo- j ther made reply. " 'Then I wish to do so ia this case, and , I shall decide logo.' "For a moment my mother was silent;* this open rebellion she bad never met, never expected to inset. '• 'Very well.

If you decide to go u. this dancing scbodl you mast also decide to go out from ouder roy authority. To-oight tbe doors will be closed against you if you i persist in your unreasonable disobedience.' "My brother's lips turned white, and his 1 cheeks deadly pule, bnt he did not speak. ; Ha knaw from his mother's decisiou there j was ue appeal. It drew near tba hour for 1 tbe dance to commence ; niy brother went ; to his room and lied op a small bundle. — ' Than be walked bravely down atairs and j j out on the porch.

The straggle s«i terri- ' ble between wounded pride and stubborn 1 iaclinstion. Meanwhile do one spoke to , 1 him. He was left olnne with God and his j conscience. At lust the right profiled.— He took his little boodle from where he had placed it oa tbe porch and enured the bouse, going directly to his chamber. From that lime till be was of aga the word dan- 1 cing was never mentioned. My brother 1 | Henry is to-day a minister of Uod, end I 1 j mey mention, incidsntly, that the son of j 1 Jodge Forsyth, and the son* of three other 1 gentlemen of high standing, died years 1 ego, miserably degraded, while, as yon all i know, poor Dr. Doflg's Marian sent his grey heirs dishonored to tbb grave." j SeVeral of the ladiee applauded flieTJrtrm- | tber's firmness . Mrs. Barke alone dissent- j ! ing, as she added, in a vole* that waa almost . j angry,: I ' "1 think K waa all nonsen**. driving a > I child from home for such a trifle." "My mother thought nothing waa trifling that established a principle." i •'Well, my child shan't "It brought up i i such a little puritan, at all events, " was | the reply. "If the minister don't like it I ' can't help it." "Ua's very practical," said Mrs. Ale- ! j riam. "and says what ha think*. He ac- ! I tually gave a homily on while lies.

"For instance, I 1 take particular pains to call on a friend j to-day, and learn that she is not at home. 'To-morrow I meet a mutual ecqaaietance, j and hear that yesterday she spent a delight- | ful boor with the friend ; and when ] was denied admission they were chatting quite ( closely in her parlor." j "But Iiliat shall w# do t" asked tbe doc- | tor's wife, after a long pause, | "Send down the true reason for your 1 non-appearance.
