'No,' said Mr Bray, -looking np from
the newspaper he wag rending, and
speaking with unusual sharpness ot
tone. 1
A young man, one of his clerks, stood
before liiin. _
'Do you understand me? No—l said
no? Send Mr. Carlton word that Ineith>
er borrow nor lend.'
Tho clerk had hesitated about sending
back the rough refusal of Mr. Dray to ac
commodate a neighbor with the loan ofa
couple of hundred dollars., within -an
hour of bank closing, even on the expla
nation that he was 'short on a note.' Bui,
on this emphatic confirmation ot the first
refusal, lie turned Iron*.hi* employer and
went forward o wjjere the messenger oil
Mr. Carlton awaited an answer.
Tin tired ol this eternal borrowing,'
said Mr. Bray to himself, in justification
of his angry refusal to accommodate a
neighbor. 'Why don't he make timely
provision for his notes as I (to, and not
go money shunting at fho eleventh hour?
I'm not*going to reduce my bank balance
to meet his careless deficiencies. There
is too ranch of idlo dependence
among traders to ffmLiiny notions ol
things.' ,
But these words ot justification did not
bring the mind of Mr. Bray into a state
of calm sell-satisfaction. Reason did not
approve hfs hastily uttered denial; and
self-respect was hurt by this sudden cbul
liii >n ot aiigor. *
'Send Mi. Cnrlfon word that I neither
borrow nor lend.' •
•I needn't linve said jnst that!' Mr.
Bray was already in a repentant mood.
•I could have refusal on any decent pre
text. There was no call for an insulting
denial.'
Ah me! llow blinding is su&fen
anger? For a while Mr. Bray sat com
muning with himself, and then, taking
up his {Kin, drew a check for two hnn*
died dollars. (Jailing to his clerk, he
/aid:
•Hero Thomas,'run in with this to Mr.
Carlton.'
The young man took the check and
went out hurriedly. He came back in a
tew minutes with the check still in his
hand.
1 Why didn't ho takd it?' asked Mr.
Bray, his face deepening in color as he
put the question.
'He said he was much obliged to
you, but Mr> Agncw had accommodated
him.'
Mr. Bray, in a yery qniet manner, tore
the check into small fragments- He felt
badly. Mr, Agncw had the reputation
ot being the roughest, most uuaccommos
datihg mau in the neighborhood ; while
he took pride in the I bought • of being
held in very difieient estimation. Even
Mr. Agnew had exceeded him in amiablo
compliance and pi'ompt business courte
sy ! He felt rebuked and humbled. .
'Oh, dearll wish 1 had a little decent
self-control !' he said, sharply, tq himself.
'This feeling, and hasty* aution
therefrom, are always getting me.into
some kind of trouble.'
As Mr. Bray walked homeward, after
leaving liia slorc that afternoon, he saw
Mr. Carlton approaching at the distance
of half a block ahead of him. lie was
conveniently near the corner of a street,
and so taking the flag-stones ho crossed
over and thus avoided meet tug his neigh
bor.
. *1 don't like this.' he said, in some
lmmilialion, to himself, as lie breathed
a little more freely. 'Skulking like a
criminal don't suit me at all? Why
should I fear to look auv mau iu the
face?'
Mr. Bray was, usually, a cheerful man
at home; though ho sometimes darkened
the hoinelight for a season through fits of
, Hidden anger, that soon subsided. But
even the briefly ruling tempest leavss
usually some mighty traces of its conrse
that requires many days of sunshine, gen
tle rains and refreshing dews to obliter
ate. It was so with the tempest of Mr.
3ray's 100 easily awakened anger. It
never darkened the sky, nor swept fierce,
ly along the earth, without leaving its
ugly marks behind.
But usuallv be was cheerful iu his fams
ily, bringing hoino with him the bright,
warm sunshine. It was not so, liowev«
er 011, the present occasion. This little
act of discourtesy to Mr. Carlton bad
not only shadowed bis leelings but left
his mind disturbed. He was just in a
state to be annoyed by the merest of
(rifles.
Two litfle boys were playing in the)
passage as he came in from the street.
At the very moment of his entrance one
of them hurt the other by accident. The
latter screamed out; and, nndei the pas
ses ale impulse of the moment, charged
his brother with striking him. In a difs
fereut state of mind Mr. Bray would have
GRAJJAM, N ۥ,' WEDNESDAY JULY .23 1879
tried a litllo (floral suasion in tho case; or |
at least, withheld "punishment until be |
saw clearly that duty io-his child Acquir
ed its adininistrailon. But now, obeying'
au unhappy impulse, Do caught up the
cliild who was charged wi!h tho oflense
of sinking and punished him with smart*
ing strokes. At tho moment of his doing
ho the mother of the children, who had
seen all that passed between them, called
» " * - . . '
out earnestly: . .
'Stop! Stap, ITenry 1 He didn't strike
his brol Iter on purpose, it was all an
accident!'
But this appeal cninc too lot*. The
wrong bad been d ine.
'lt's a shame!' said, the mother, who
lelt every painful blow the child had re
' ceivcd, and who spoko from the moment's
indignant impulse.
Mr. Bray did not feel any better. Set
ting the cbild down, without venturing
a reply to his wife's remark, lie strode up
Stairs to the sitting room and threw him-
I selfintO the great armchair. No one ven
tured to come near him for somo lime;
srhe had fair opportunity for sol#-com
nuiniou. At last a toddling little curly
head. who generally lmiled her father's
return with joy, caine sidling into tlio
room, and with a half timid air made her
way, by almost stealthy approaches, to
the sitle-of tho moody max. Curiously
she lifted her eyes to hi* moody cOunte
nance; stood for a moment or two, as if
doubt, and then clambered up and laid
her golden trosses aguin-t his bosom.
As site did so the father's Arms was drawn
' around her. But little curly head was
not, in lier selfish innocence, content with
the sunshine of fuvor for hersclt alone.
•Papa!' £Ler voice had in it souietliing
oi doubt.
1 'What is it, my little pet?' And Mr.
Brav, who was penetrated by tho child's
sphere of tenderness, kissed her pure
lips.
'Willy didn't hurt Eddy a purpose. Ho
didn't strike him.'
'But Eddy said that Willy struck him.'
The father sought to justify himself in tho
eyes oi the child.
•Eddy onl) thought so,' replied lit
tle curly head. 'Willy didn't strikq hint
at ail.'
Mr. Bray said nothing more; but hq
telt very utmyriforlabla* VfcbPiU.'W >f|ft
bell rung lie went, with little curfy-lieacF
to the dining room. All tlie rest of the
family had kepi away from him. Mrs.
Bray lookod particularly sober; and Wil
ly, who had been set all right as to his
conduct by his mother's declaration that
he had not bocn guilty of striking, put on
an air of injured innocence. Mr. Bray
did not speak once during the meal,
but sat iu silence, with a heavily clouded
brow.
For that evening tlie accustftmed pleas
ant. talks, checrtui smiling taces and mer
ry laughter wore banished from tho home
of Mr. Henry Bray. A single moment of
anger had douo this unhappy work. It
was something better at the family re
union the next moraing. Sleep had
wrought its usual work of restoring the
mind to its better state and calming its
pulses i« aft even beat.
As Mr. Bray left his house something
carder than usual, and was walking
along, with his eyes cast down, thinking
jver certain matters oi- business that
would requite his attention, a man-came
to his side, and, iu a pleasant voice,
said:
'Goad morning, Mr. Bray!'
Tlie merchant glanced up, with a
heightening color, into the face of this
person who hud overtaken hint in his
rather deliberate wulk. He knew the
voice. It was that ot Mr. Carlton.
•Good morning.' The response was
not hearty. Uow could it be.
♦I was sorry to trouble you yesterday,'
said Mr. Carlton, speaking in a irank,
cheerful way. 'But a friend to whom I
had loaned a sum of money disappointed
me at the last moment, and I was com
pelled to borrow at nil unseasonable
hour. Your kind eflort to serve mo was
none tLo less appreciated because I had
no need of the check'when you were
so obliging as to 6cnd it in. Mr. Agnow
had already supplied my trifling defi
ciency. '
Now, what auswer cauld Mr. Bray
make to this? Was Mr. Carlton actually
in earnaßt? Was he really so dull as not
to have appreciated his rough, insulting
message of the day before —or was this
courteous acknowledgment ol an al-'
most extorted favor a rebuking piece of
irony? » , .
'lt would have gratified me if you had
used the check,' replied Mr. Bray, his
1 Voice a little below its usual firmness
Of tone. "It was tendered in ail siucer
ity.'!_—
'1 never doubted that for an instant,'
said Mr. Carlton, as it suprised that his
neighbor should intimate, even
a question of his right appreciation of
the favor. 'Mr; Bray,s imputation as a
conrfe.ms, gentlemanly merchant and a
kind-no .I'ted inau forbid any other in
felvnc
Now t'lis, Mr. Bray felt, was crowding
him a lilt tu too hard, and he was consid
erably annoyed. "Tell Mr. Carlton that
I heither borrow nor lend.' Could he
forget that rough answer to hi* neigh
bor's request for a couple of hundred
a lato hour in the day, wlieu
his bank accoaut was still short? No, he
could not forgot It; and that neighbor's
coinplitiietitft upon his morcantihc and
manly virtue 6oniided too ranch like a
covert rebuke U>bo in tlie smallest ineas
nro agreeable. So ha changed tho sub
ject, by roierr-iug to some general tjpic,
and managed to appear interested, until,
their ways diverging, they parted With
courteous torms of specuh.
'i don't lik«/ilmt,'said Mr. Bray, to
himself as lie walked on atone. 'All this
is mere hypocritical assumption: and un
der the circumstances, 1 can scarcely re
gatd it as IcsXhsni'fhsttliing; and if ho
talks t? mo alter this fusbion 1 will tell
him so.'
The opportunity soon occnred. It
was, perhaps, about twelve, when tho
merchant saw Mr. Carlton enter his
store and come back to wliuro ho was
sitting at his desk. There was a famil
liar sinilo upou his countenance, and
lie looked altogether sell-possessed.
'Good morning again,' suid he with
much appareiiufranknoss ot manner,
'Good morning.' Mr. Bray, tried to
look pleasant, and tried to assume a per.
lcctly composed exterior; but .the ele'
incuts of excitement were incving with
in him. There rfas ulwaps u point be-
Vond which control he
felt that Mr. Carlton was pressing him
beyond that point. In his uucourteous
refusal to lent! liimtwo hundred dollars
he had done wrong; but, to tho best of
his ability, he had endavored to .repai 1 *
that wrong, and Mr. Carlton should
have accepied his tender of rcpeulance
and not ineullect hiiu by throwing Mr.
Aguew in Ills fuco along with his rejected
loan. Mr. Agncwt known throughout
tho trade ub one of tbo most micorteous
and disobliging of mou! Iu that act he*
had given sufficient rebuke: and thero iu
Mr. Bray's opinion, he should be willing
lUe matter rest.
ButTt tofeHWffffmt Mr. Carlton felt
diflerontlv, as ho had shown in his iron*
ical reference to the milter a» their meet
ing on the street i aud. it Was plain to Mr.
Bray, from the luauuur ot his neighbor,
t blithe had conio to annoy him ayaiu
with some refcicneo to a circiimstane
that he desired to forget as quickly as
possible- Pol I wing the 'good morui'ig
again' of Mi'.XJarlloti succeeded this sen*
tencc, as spoken with cheerful frankness
of a man iu earnest;
'Your kindness yesterday makes mo a
little presuming tojday. I will lako that
check now if you have it to spare. My
friend has disappointed inc again, and I
have several payments to inake. r ,
'Wie smile had faded Irotn Mr. Carlton's
face ere his sentence was finished, for,
instead of meeting a countenance of kind
compliance, stern, ulufost Hashing eyes
looked steadily into his, aud compressed
lips gave a warning of a refusal.
•'Micro has been enough of this aK
ready !' said Mr. Bray., with repressed
excitement.
•Enough of what?' Mr Carlton looked
surprised.
'Enough of insulting reference to my
act ot yesterday! 'answered Mr. Bray.
'lnstilling! What do you mean?' And
Mr. Carlton drew himself up aud looked
quite as indignant as his neighbor.
'My words are very plain. You
understand the king's English I pre
sume?' _i...
'I had supposed so. But youis is a
dialect with which I am not familliar,
and I must beg you to supply the glos
saiy.'
'Let mo do that,' said tjie clerk of Mr.
Bray stepping forward at this juuct«
urc.
•Do so, if you please, and I will bo a
thousand times oliged., Aud Mr Carl
ton moved back a pace or two awaiting
the clek's cxpanation.
'Permit me?' Ihe clerk looked at Mr.
Bray. •*
'Say oil, Thomas?* was answered
•When Mr. Carlton sentiu tor the two
hundred dollars yesterday you wero an
noyed about something, and yctnrned a
rather uucourteous refusal—one altogeth
-8o unlike yourself that I could not do
you the injustice of letttng it pass to our
neighbor unjustified. So I softened the
refusal, to make it sound as much like a
regret for not complying t»s I possibly
could, I kuew'ihat you would Jlhiuk and
feel difturcutly iu a low minutes, and I
was not misuikciu as tbo offered check
proved. This is the glossary Mr, Carl
ton, which you,asked, and I trust that it
will make all cfear. Did Ido right or
wrong, Mr. Bray? The young man turn
ed, with a half timid look, to his passion
ate employer, whose words were o/ so
uncertain a character tlnU it' was hard to
Milcnlute tho direction >f their in.pulso
A moment ot silencepns*cd, and then Mr
Brav said with feeling:
'Bight, Thomas, right! And I thank
you t»r such judicious e induct.
Tlie young man bowed and retired to
wait upon it customer.
For a little while the two men stood
looking at each oilier, each so impressed
with a tense ct the ludicrous that the
muscles of risibility were all in plav. >
'You have the glossary,' said Mr.
Brav, at length, a broad smile covering
his ftce. .
'Giving tho clearest meaning |o vonr
words of a moment ag» so full ot mys*>
terv.' was answered, with us broad a
smile in return,
•Yon wont refuse my check I pre
sume,' &ud Mr. Bray turned to his
dodc ' i
Must try me, sdd Mr. Carlton, in
a voice that loft no douot of bis mean
ing*
• Will two hundred be sufficient ?'
0 Yon can make it three if you are oyer
to-day.
'Threq. hnndied if is, Mr. Carlton,,
said tho merchant, the thermometer of
whose feelings had riseMflh'Om zero to
summer hoot, and whenever 1 can ac
comodate you in mutters of this kind
don't fail to command ins. If, as it may
happen sometimes,! should be a little
uniNiniblo, my clerk thero will act as a
cushion and prevent yon feeling tho
shock ot my temporary ill-nature. I
did'nt know before that I had so discreet
an assistant.
There was a warmer atmosphere in the
home of Mr. Bray on tho evening that
succeeded ihe cloudy morning, than on
the one which proceeded, when the shad
ow ol a angry moment was large and
dense enough to cover the whole house
hold with a leaden pall. Little curly*
head leaped into her tat tier's arms almost
upou the instant of his return, and hug
koJ him with all the outgushlng love of
her innocent heart; and Eddy and Willy
tho trouble ol the past evening forgotten,
were ready for tjieir romps und enjoyed
them to their heart's content. The
mother, too, was smiling and happy.
That evening as ono of the
green places in the nOinc-lilo: and but
for tiirtJmpulsive act ot a single angry
moment the previous evening won'd
have left with every heart as sweet a re
meinbaiicc. 4
IMIIBDEB TBIAL IK VIRGINIA
A JURY COMPOSED ENTIRELY Of K ECHOES.
fticHMoNa, July 15.—George Lewis,
the negro, aged nineteea, who murdered
his grandmother in Janury last in Ches
terfield conuty, and was subsequently
sentenced to be handed, having obtained
a new trial, was again arraigned yester
day. The jury, much against the pri*
oner's wish and the earnest protest of
his counsel, wa» composed entirely of
negroes, aud is' the first of this kind em- I
panelled in Virginia to try a capital of
fence. Tlie testimony ot this trial was
much stronger than at the first, as the
prisoner's confession, showing premedi
tation, w.ts admitted as evidence. The
crime for which L'-wis was tried was
most brutal and unprovoked, as accord
ing to his own admisbiou his victim or?
dered him to perform some trival service
which was not to his liking. He there
upon made up his mind that he would
put an end to her dominion over him,
und in tho afternoon of the same day
shot her deliberately with an old army
musket, literally blowing off the groa'er
portion of her head. The trial occupied
all day, until near midnight, when the
case was given to the jury, who, after an
hour's deliberation, returned a verdict of
murder in the second degree, and fixed
his punishment at eighteen years iu the
penitentiary.
Men Wasted. —The great want of
this age is men. Men who are not for
sale. Mm who are honest, sound from
centre to* circumference, true to the
heart's core! Men who will coademn
wrong in frieud or foe, in thcinselvos aH
well as others Men whose consciences
art) as steady as the needle to the pole.
Men who will stand for the right if the
heavons totter anil the earth reels. Men
who can tell the truth and look the wot Id
and the devil right in the eye. Men that
neither brag nor run" Men who have
courage without shouting to it. Men in
whom the courage of everlasting life runs
still, deep and strong. Men who do not
cry nor cause their voices to be heard on
the streots, but who will not fail nor be
discouraged till judgment be set in the
earth. Men who'know their own busi
ness. Men who will not lie. Men who
aro not too lazy to work nor too proud
to be poor: Men who are willing to eat
what they have earned and wear what
they have paid for.— Times.
