John r.risbcn in a felon's cell, nnd now,

Mavsville and the hialorii) old town ol
Wa'shiniiton, was the principal settlement

camo from Upper Pennsylvania and lo
cated about five miliB from tlio Ohio
llivur, on Limestone creek. Ho was an
industrious, strong-limbed, lion-hear'.eil
old fellow, and in a few years his snr
rounding wore ol the most comioriaiue
leseripti.iii. Ono ol his sons, J-,iiwu
Iirisbon, once represented Kentucky m
I ho Federal Congress. I think he was
tin grandfather of John and Joseph
Iirisbon. Their father s name was Samuel
and ho died when they were little chil
dren, leaving his widow an excellent
blue-grass farm and ft snug little fortune
in stocks, bonds and mortgages. The
widow remained a widow limn la riientn.
Mrs. Samuel ISrisben was a good woman
aid sho idolizid her twin boys. Like
most twins, tlie brothers resembled each
other in ft striking manner, and even in
timate acquaintances could not tell I hem
apart. )5ut although tho physical re-
semblance, was so strong mere was great
dissimilarity iu tho dispositions of the
twins. Joseph was surly and morose,
sometimes cunning and revengeful, lie
was withal a dreamer and an euthusins!:
a man well learned iu books, a brilliant,
frothy talker when lie chose to be soci
nblo '(which was seldom), a splendid
horseman, aim a most excellent suor.
John Urisben, on Iho contrary, was
cheerful and bright, honorable and for
giving. Ho was n man of high moral
principle, intensely practical and method
ical, eared little for books, and, although
he said but little, was a splendid com
panion. Ho was a poor horseman, and 1
don't think he ever shot a gun in Inside.
He saw nothing of the poetry of life, nfd
us for sport, he enjoyed himself olily
when hard at work. He loved hi.-
brother, and when they were boys to
gclher suffered puiii-ihmont many times,
and uncomplainingly, that "Julie"
might go scot free. His life was, I here
fore, ono const nut sacrifice, but the
object of this loving adoration made
vat shabby returns for this unselfish de
but ion.
They were 20 years old when their
m.ithi.'r died VCIV suddenly. Joseph
made a great pretense of grief, and was
ivsterioal at the grave that ho had to

find au idler or peace-disturber among
them is a rare thing.

how many young men aro managers of

ihe war iinpuveri-hed the country and
made il necessary for them to go to

It is a raro thing to find an idler, it is
hist as raro to find a young man who will
admit that ho is discouraged. Ho has
great faith in what the future will bring,
and ho haa the pluck to face all disasters
of the present. YVhilo he cannot make
a living us easily as his father did, ho
will make it, and feel a pride in having
Iho talent and muscle lo enable him to
do so. To know him is to like him. Ho
is courteous, gentlemanly, honorable and
big-hearted, and it is the young man
whose cut hiisi .sm is mniiing tuo wuoio
