WILLIAMS. i 1 In Market square, in the pleasant . ity of Merryport, was a crockery ware store, over the door of which was a black sign bearing in gilt let ters the name ot Benjamin Hudson. For many years this crockery store had been there, with "the great pitcher hanging in front for a sign ; indeed, when Mr. Hudson first opened the store, some forty yeais previous, he was quite a young man, and the sgn over his door was blight and handsome; but now his eyes had grown dim, and the owner was called -Old Hudson" by all the boys and girls of the city. Mr. Benjamin Hudson had grown rich in his business; for he had con ducted it all himself, andtaken care that nothing should be wasted or j lost by neglect. He had made mis takes., to be sur, as every man will make ; some bluttUom-c. during a life time, but by skillful management he quickly recovered from them. Sixty five years had begun to bend over Mr. . Hudson's shoulders ! and dim the brightness of. his eye, and he found business more irksome than it formerly had been. 'I in list have a . partner," said he j one cjay to himself as' he sat before a cheerful fire. 1 must nave some one interested in the business who is ycung and active and ! will take the weight eft my shoulders, lor' I cannot do as I used to Now; in Mr. Hudson's-employ were two young men Herbert Bond and Charles Sehmour. They had been with him an equal length cvt time, and had performed their it;o faiilifiillv and well. Charles did his work" quickly, and had a smart way about him that made I e'ople think he was greatly supe. r or to Herbert, who had a more quiet demeanor and accomplished j quite as mucn wiuiuui "'""'j, great stir about it. , i "I must have i Herbert or Charles for a partner," soliloquized Mr. Hud son "on which can I docide ? They w I j - K, THE JPJIMO OQ!. HILL, N. C, SATURDAY, MAECH 8,1879. both do very well in the store, butl ought to know something of them out of the store,, and I am sorry to say that is a point I have never paid proper attention to. My; clerks come her in the morning and go away at night ( what becomes of them over night I know not, -and yet I ought to know. Neither of them have parents in the city ; they live in some of tho numerous board mg-hbusee, and T "hope; are steady and well-behaved. I must see them in their homes, and then decide which shall be my partner." The next day Mr. Hudson ascer tained the boardiug places of his clerks, without letting them know purpose, and alter supper that eyeuing, his wife and daughters were somewhat astonished to see him go to the hall and put on his coat and hat.. ' Where are you going, papa asked Lily, the youngest daughter, who could hardly remember the evening when her father had not re mained at home. ; "I am" going to make a call, Lily, on two young men ot my acquaint ance; I shall not be gone loner," re plied Mr. Hudson, and bidding then! good-bye, immediately started out. ' . ; ' ! Herbert's' boarding-house was th nearer of the two, and here Mr. Hudson stopped firct. It wasla neat-looking house, in a very pleasant; street. Mrs. Buntin, the iaudladyopened the door when Mr- Hudson rang. . , Does a young man named Her bert Bonjd board here Ty . "He does. Walk in, sir, and I witi cinl ihunt1'i eplied itie woman. 4'I"li.o to his room if you wid show me u here it i," ansu ered Mr' Hudson.'"! presume he is in it ? : think so ; he is seldom out in the evening. You can step up there, if you like, sir ; go up two flights, and the first door to the right is the one," replied Mrs Buntin. ' . j - . i Mr. Hudson puffed up the stairs and knocked with his cane at the designated door.- It was opeued by Herbert, who looked very much amazed when he saw his employer, and said : "Why, Mr. Hudson, is anything the matter in the store? Nothing happened out of the vayj I; hope r" "No nothing nothing at : al!,'" said Mr. Hudson,, walking in' and taking a chair. "I took a notion to call around and see how you were tins evening." ; 4 Bond expressed himself very glad to see his employer, and! while he took his iat and canej Mr. Hudson glanced ajround the room. It was an attic room, with dormar windows ; a good fife was burning in an open grate ; a book-rack filled with books adorned one side ot the room, while the crn.i. o ihe floor was occu- pied by a table- on which were writing materials. . "You look very cozy here, Her bert ; but wliy do you have an attic room ? -Are there- none you cau have below stais ?" "Oh, yes sir ; but this is a dollar a week" cheaper, aud I ; have all the more mo!iey;to send to my lather,' replied Herbert. i .Isu'L your father well off?" in quired Mr. Hudson. "Not very, sir ; he used to be pretty rich, but his business; was disastrous, and he lost, a great deal of money " said Bond. "What do you find to do even- ings ? Hoes not t.me jhiing yeiy Iipmvv r" "Oh, HO 8ir 1 'X uavo uuio w read aud letiers to write. To-night I am writing home ; they want me to make 'them a visit, bnt I write that.it is a pretty busy time just now, but when it is over I shall ask you for a few days abseLce,' an swered Herbert. "You shall have it willingly," said Mr. Hudson, and then he added . L - " ; -' "Does Charles ever call upon you ?' "No, sir, I have asked him to seyeral times, but ; he has never called. ;;V- ' i - ; . .uAre yon contented here in this boardiug-house ?" inquired Mr. Hud son. ."'.-:' '': - I '.-!' "It is a very good hoarding-house, and Mra. Bnqtin is verv kind : butl have often wished that I could live at hdmeanswered Herbert, 'And wnyrcairt you ? How far is it from here ?" asked his em ployer. - ; ' :- y - ( "Twenty-five miles, sir ; father far to travel every day, and then I can't afford the expense," was Her-, belt's reply. ; S "What time could you reach the store in the morning:?" ,"At half-past eight, sir." V "And vem would have to leave at what hour in the afternoon ?" "About. half-past five, sir." "Not very bad hours lor the busi ness. Perhaps it can be arranged so that you can live! at home, Her berp' . .- .;' : ; . "iOh, I.should like it so much if I could, Tarn so homesick here in the !" was the e'erk's leply. Well, I'lJ look into the matter, He bert. Tt seems a pity" that one wno is .so form or ins home can t live1 ive there, in these times of "rail ways u dj last traveling," sa;d Mr. Hudson a as he arose to depart. - Herbert iked him for his' visit, and said it aha wohld please him to have Mr. Hud sou The old gentleman descended the stairs well satisfied with the call, audi said to himself, ''Now for Charles Sehmour I hope I shall Hi id hlril hb - well upietl- be i Bond." ' ;: :: , :) On his way to the; honsej which was three or tour streets distant, Mr Hu fsonV attention was attracted to three young men, who, were talking loudly and acting in a rowdy main pulling each other against the passers-jby and making rude, insult- remarks to i them. It so hap pened that Mr. Hudson wore a white hat bin k so' when these fellows passed ty looked behind and said, "Oh !

The servant said Sehmour. was in, hnd ushered him to the chain- ber the door. Mr. Hudson knocked, and -' - do r swung wide open and a voice exclaimed, "Well, old jiellow, got along at last, have you ? We're all j ready for you; have got the'' Charlea Sehmour stopped here, and his face turned deadly pale, at seeing instead bt one his bpem. companions' his venerable employer. It was sev eral seconds : -bole re he could rccorer his speech, "I beg yuur pardon, Mr. Hudson, you must excuse me ; I expected a friend this evening aud in the liglit of the entry I thought vou were he.; Walk iu, sir, and sit down." ! Mr. Hudson entered the room and was soniewhat surprised to see there the identical three young men who had insulted him on the street; they were smoking cigars, and had then) feet elevated on the mantel piece,' bureau and bed stead. Mr. Hudson he was in confusion saw at once that and Sehmour actions were painful and awkward. Neverthe'ess, his employer started a conversation, and had been.there but a few minutes when a footstep was heard on the stairs, and then the door opened a little way; and a bottle of champague came rol'ing across the floor, follow ed immediately by aj round Dutch cheese, a bunch of cigars and two more bottles, hebmour looked dis tressed, but could say nothing.

Mr. jludsoh thought it was about time for him to go, . so he took his leave and re turned to his home. r. ' ' . '.i.. . Mr. Hudson was not long. in mak ing up his mind as to which one of his clerks would make the most faith- ful and efficient partner, and in 'less than a week it was announced in the papers that Herbert -Boud was' a mem be r of t he firm of "Benjauiin Hudson & Co." It was a happy day for Herbert, and , it was npt many years before he managed the whole of the business himself, and he became a weajthv.man. . .

On j the question of the location of a; burying ground, one ot the. churches was thrown into a, violent contention and the two .deacons were arraved on ojiposi'te sides.
