THE HERCHANT'S CLERK. t
Or, The Effects of Kinduess and Forbcaraner. ;v
Amid the thronging crowd that business or J1
pleasure called into the city streets tiiere wan- j
Jered along slowly, now and then running
against the passengers, and pausing at every ^
few steps to look up at the numerous signs, a j ,
young lad, evidently a stranger in the inetropo- j
is. L)ouht, bewihlernietit and curiosity strug- ^
gled together ou his lair, open countenance, ?
jrown witli healthy exposure to sun and air, tj
a his country home, [lis chesnut hair fell in
raves on his shoulders, from under his broud
draw hat, and his dark, hazel eyes wore a frank
md generous expression, notwithstanding the
lewildered air which attracted the transient
faze of the passers by. Just as he was about
0 step into an open cellar, he was arrested by j ,
m elderly, good humored gentleman, who
urued hint lightly on to the sidewalk, exclaim- !"
iig, "Well, my bov, are you asleep or dream- '
"Neither, sir, I thank you," replied the lad
rith spirit, 1 can't tell among so many et
tores and signs to find the one 1 want."
"And whose may that be?" 1,1
"A. Ritchie & to." answeredJiytiiox
""VVeJI, tluui^my lad, itJ^he^G*r<^t,tore ?
^ Thank y()u,"sir,''ans\vered'*ihe boy, grateilly.
"1 shall litid it easily now."
The gentleman nodded his head with a good ^
umored smile, and passed on, while the lad j
oon entered the store lie had sought. ^
With a free step, yet a modest air, lie passed
lireclly into the counting-room. A gentleman ^
if middle age, or somewhat less, was seated in ^
1 large arui-chair, turned away from a table on j.
iliicu were jieus and papers, and journals.? ^
V. little girl had just climbed up into ids arms,
1 i :. i.is ......a ..lid L-iiiirliimr aierril v.
IIIU (Id iiio vj vg g J ^
I'liis child of eight summers. with her laughing
due eyes, and dimpled, rosy checks and chin,
vas the merchant's only dailing, and the pride j11
if his heart. The boy paused and gazed on 1
hat happy child, and seemed lor a moment to
orget where he was. He saw not the high
lesit, nor the old clerk busily plying his pen, ^
lor the fresh young smiling servant, a little in
he corner, hut he only saw the frolicsome lovey
child. Tears swam in his eyes and shone ,.
>u their long brown lashes. He dashed them
lastily away, just as the merchant giving his
laughter a light spring to the lloor, looked up; .
saving in a business-like, but pleasant voice .
'Well, my lad!" k
There was a tremulous tone in the boy's
mice, though he answered promptly, for the
Memory of his departed sister was busy at his
:ieart. He replied simply removing his hat, and
jo wing, "1 am Philip Warrendep, sir."
"You are punctual to the hour, my boy that
[like. Showing yourself as faithful in all other .
matters, and 1 am sure you will do well."
"That I shall endeavor to do," answered |
Philip, readily and resjK'cthilly.
Rlr. Kitchie tl1011 p.it Philip under the care of s)
one of his clerks who was to show him what ^
was expected of him, and from that time seemlid
to feel that he had but little to do with him, j
personally, beyond occasional order, and the ,
payment of his moderate salary. Philip found ^
himself thrown upon his own resources. He ,
engaged board for himself at the cheapest place
he could find, which was also respectable.-His
duties fully occupied him through the
day, but his evenings were at his diposal.-- t|
This to him, unguided, unaided, was perhaps a ^
questionable privilege, llis employer never of
coarse invited him to his house, and though
evidently pleased with the lad's docility and |
usefulness, seldom took any particular notice
ofhtfli. Hut the little blue eyed Minnie never j:
came to the store without having some pleasant
words to say to the smiling hoy who showed
so much interest in her. Hut her visits b -came 4
less and less frequent and finally she was sent
awav to a celebrated school to remain seve1
. I II _ *
ra! years, anil tiius nulip rareiy saw uer. uer j
bl ight ami heautil'ui imago remained impressed t
upon bis mind; for the affections of childhood
are not transient. They nro sometimes more j
deep and permanent than any other.
Several years rolled around, and Philip War- i
render had become a young man. Handsome ]
prepossessing in manner, and of excellent bu- |
siness talents, which .Mr, Ritchie, himself,a man
thoroughly versed in business matters, app-eci- ;
atod highly, and felt to he to his advantage.
Still his young clerk received hut little notice
from him except in his affairs, and his salary
still continued very moderate, Mr. Ritchie thinking
with many others, that a thorough knowl
edge of mercantile affairs is in itsdf an ample
rcmuncration for years of labor. ' * " ."
I .have saiil Phibp was handsome, and be was
so, but to u close examiner tluro wis ofcUte
something painful in the expression nif bis eye
ami mouth when both at test. It[was as if
something lay concealed behind the /air braw,
whose''.whisperings would be beard, and whose
tones of sorrowful reproach could not ue drowned
with tile gayest laughter. Mr. Ritchie was
not generally an acute observer of such things
but for Several days be watched the countenance
of Philip narrowly, though cautiously.?
One day as he wi^s leaving the store, he stopped
afr he came up to Philip, and with a se<
rious smile requested him to. come to bis house
that evening at such an hour.
Whether it was the suddenness of the invitation,
fco novel and unexpected, or whether
there were some occult reason, the color deep?ned
to crimson 011 Philip's brow, and then ro->
treating left an unwonted paleness. Mr. Ritchk
took no notice of it, but merely fecommen
ling him to he punctual tb.JJho hour, quietly
valked away.
It was evening, ami .Mr. Ritchie sat in bis
ib:ary before a good cost! /ire, for it was witier.
lie had a paper in his hand but he v;as
'vidently uninterested in its contents, and
hough he had on hu gold spectacles, his eyes
vere not profiting by them. Gradually ;in expression
of deep thought mingled with doubt
nd sorrow stole overy his countenance!. As,
e sat thus leaning back in his comfortable chair
beautiful girl came gliding in so softly thrpugh
iio open door that he did not perceive her, and
he regarded him for a moment tic two with
ficctiouate interest, then passing lightly to his
