L'iL ' i H
A BOMANCE OF LABOR.
I was listening to the rebellions words
of a young man who could not see his
father's wisdom in desiring him to learn
a trade.
'lt will make a common man of the,
father,' lie said querulously)' 'I shall be
as dirty as a blacksmith and have hands
like a coal heaver,'
'And if you think, l?red, that wearing
tine cLulhes and having white hands
make you a gentleman let me tell' you,
sir* that you are a very Common man to
begin with. A good trade might help
you to truer notions of gentlemanhood •'
Then I looked at the handsome young
fellow—(or he was handsome—and I
thought jiiot then of Steve (Jasklll, Steve
had made his mark now, but many years
ago I heard just such a talk between him
aud Josiah Gaskill, relative to the young
man learning his father's trado ot a wool
stapler.
It's a dirty business, father,' »aid the
splendid Steve, in lull 'evening dress,'
'and I hato the smell of oil and the sight
of these men in blue linen blouses. I
hope that I shall do something belter for
myself Iliau that.'
'Very well, lad, what is it thou'd lain
be?'
'A lawyer, father.' *
'They're naught but a lazy quarrel
some set, but thou shult not say I ever'
stood in the gale. Be & lawyer, lad. I'll
speak to Denham to-morrow about Iheo.'
So young Steve was articled to Den«.
ham & Dcwnesß to study law, especially
conveyancing, lie was an only 6011 but
had three sisters, and oyer them and his
mother ho exercised suprome influence.
Steve did was right; what
ever he said was beyond dispute. Even
old Josiah, with all his sound sense, was
in spile oi himself, swayed by the ujis
disputed acknowledgement of Steve's
superiority. He would hot advise his son
to be a lawyer, but seeing that Steve was
not afraid to be one, he WAS rather proud
of the lad's pluck and ambition.
It cost thetn a good deal. Steve's tasfes
were exponsive, and ho fell naturally
among a class of men who led him into
many extravagances. There were oc
casionally awkward scenes, but Steve,
supported by his mother and sisters, ak
ways cleared every scrapo, and finally
satisfied the family pride by being
larly admitted upon the roll of her
ryajesty's attorneys.
In the meantime his father had beeii
gradually failing in health ; soon after this
he died. Most of his earnings had been
secured for the helpless women of the
Gaskill family, and Steyd no\V lound
himself with a profession and a thousand
pounds to give him a fair start in it.
People said old Uaekill had acted very
wisely, and Steve had sense enough to
acquiesce in public opinion. lie knew,
too, that as long as his mother or sisters
had a shilling (hey would share it with
him* .
So he hopefully opened an office in his
native town of Leeds, aud wailed for
clients. But Yorkshire men are pro
verbially cautious; a young lawyer was
not their ideal. Steve could not look
crafty and' wise under such circum-.
stauccs, aud that first year be did not
make enough to pay his rent.
Nevertheless ho did not in any way I
curtail his expenses; aud when the sum
mer holidays arrived, he went, as usual
to a fashionable watering-plate. It haps
pened that year saw the debut of Mis»
E'izabeth Brailhwaite, a great heiress
and a very bititds9me girl. Steve was
attracted by her beauty, and her great
wealth was not a drawback in his eye.
In a short tiige he perceived that Miss
Braithwaitefavored him above all other
pi eteaders to her hand, and he began to
GRAHAM, N. C., MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1881,.
j to consider iho advantages ot a rich wife.
ilia profession had hitherto been a
j failure, his one thousand pounds was
nearly spent; his three sisters werts all on
the point of marriage, a condition which
might seriously modify their sisterly io
stincts, and his mother's annual income
1 wouldn't support him a month—Would it
J not be the bejt plan to accept the good
fortune so evidently within his reach?
\ Elizabeth was hand»imn pud inclined
To favor him, and though she had the
reputation of beiug authoritative in tem
per and economical in money matters, he
did not doubt that she would finally ac
knowledge his power as completely al
his mother and sisters. So beset him
self to win Miss llraithwaite, and before
Christmas they 'veto married.
Truo ho hail been compelled to give up
a great deal mofeihan he liked: bat he
promised himself plenty of
compensations. Elizabeth iusisted on
keeping her own linuse, as Steve had no
house to offer fier, he must needs go to
j Braithwaite Hull as fiie husband of its
j proprietress. She iusisted upon his re
j moving his office to Bruithwaite, a small
j village, offering none of tho advantages
I for killing time which a large city like
Leeds did; and she had all her money
scrupulously settled on herself for her
j own use and under her control.
Sieve felt very much as though his
wife had bought him, but fol- a little
while the eclat of having married a great
heiress, the bridal festivities and foreign
travel compensated for the loss of his
freedom. lint when they returned to
Braithwaite, life showed a far more
prosaic side. Mrs. Gaskill's economical
disposition became particularly oflensive
to Steve. She inquired closely itUo his
business, and did not scruple to make
unpleasant witty remarks about his in
come, She rapidly developed, too, an
authoritative disposition, against which
Steve daily mere and mOre rebelled. The
young couple were soon very unhappy.
The trilth was that a j.reat transition
was taking place in Steve's mind, and
limes of transition are always times ot
Unrest and misery. The better part of
his nature was beginning to claim a
hearing, lie had now seen all that good
society could show him; he had tasted
all the pleasures money could buy* and
ho was uuhappy.
She had. no ennui and do diasdtisfac*.
tion with herself. There was her large
house to oyersee, her garden and con
servatories, her servants and charity
schools, her toilet and a whole colony ot
pet animals. Her days were too short
lor all the small interests that tilled them;
and these interests she would have wil
lingly shared with Stevo, but to him
they soon became intolerable bores.
Under such circumstances ho might
haye fotnrcThis work in the ordering and
investigating his wife's largo estate, but
Elizabeth was far too cautious to trust
her business to untried bands. Iler
father's agent was her agent; her
banker nianaged all her investments; her
park and farm and gardens wore all un
der the care ot old and experienced
servants, who looked upon Steve merely
as 'Mississ husband.'
In the second year of his marriage lie
began to haVe somo thoughts which
would have astonished his wife could
sho haye thought it worth while to in-
quire what occupied his mind in the long
hours when ho paced the ahrubet-y, or
uat silently looking out of tho window.
But Steve was now ready for any em
ployment that would take him out of the
purposely dependent life that he had BO
foolishly chosen for himself,
One day, greatly to his surpriso, Eliza
beth said to him:
'Steve, I have a letter from a cousin
of mother's, who lives in Glascow. She
is going to Australia and wants mo to
buy her house. Sho says it is a great
bargain, and I wrote to Barrett to go
and see about it. 1 have a letter this
morning saying he is too ill to leave his
bod. I wonder if you could go to attend
to it?'
Anything for a change. Steve show
ed a very proper business like interest,
and said:
•Yes, I would bo very glad to go.'
'Very well; I should think you knew
enough of titles and deeds and convey
ancing and all that sort of thing, I will
tru?t the affair to you, Stove.'
So the next morning Stive found him
self on the Caledonian line, with SIOO
in his pocket, and a valuable piece of
buslnes# on baud, The first twenty
miles out of Leeds he enjoyed with all
the abandon ot a bird set free. Then he
began to think Again. At Crewe ho misss
ed (he train and wandered about the sta
tion and fell in talking with theengineer of'
the next one, who was cleaning and ex- ,
amining the engine with all the love and j
pride a mother gives hor favorite child, i
The two men fraternized at once, aud
Steve made a trip oyer the Caledonian
line in the engineer's small cuddy. He,
was a fine youn-g follow, 'one of - 6even,'
he said,'all .r.achinists and engineers:'"
ho was only serving his time> learning
every branch of tho business, practical!} ;
he had brothers who made engines, aud
he hoped to do so some lime.
In spito of lift soiled face and oily
clothes Steve recognized that refinement
that comes with education t and wben
his new friend called upon him at the
Queen's hotel, he would not havn been
ashamed ol his oppearaucC even in the
most fastidious days.'
•'Mr. Dairy triple. I am glad to seiS you,'
said Steve holding out both hands to
hi in. -
1 thought you would be, sir. ft is
not often that 1 imike mistako in my like
ings. I will go hilh you now to see my
faiher's works, if it suits you.-
Never hud such a place entered Ste
phen Gaskiil's conception, the immense
furnaces, the hundreds 01' giants work
ing arouiixt tliein, the clang of machinery
the mighty struggle of mind and matteiv
He envied those cyclops in their leathern
masks and aprons ; l.e longed to lift their
heavy lianiirieis. He looked upon- the
craftsmen with their bare, brawny arms
and blacloen.ed hands, and felt his heart
glow with admiration when he saw the
mighty works those hands had fashioned.
The tears were in his eyes when DaN
tymple aud he parted at the gate of the
great walled-in yard.
'Tnauk you,' ho said, 'you have done
mo the greatest possible seryice I shall
remember it-.'
That night Stove formed a strange but
noble resolution. First of all, he de
voted himself to Lis wife's business, and
accomplished it In a mauner which elici
ted Mr. Barrett's warm praise and made
Elizabeth wonder whether sho might not
spare her agent's fees for tba future.
Then he had a long confidential talk
with the owner of the Dalrympfe iron
and machine works, the result of which
was tho following lettet to Mrs; Gas
kill:
My DEAR WIKS—I shall not bo at
ltome again fol- a least f\Vo years, for I
havo begun an apprenticeship to DaN
ryuipleasan iron master. I propose to
learn practically. I have
lived too long'upon your esteem as well
as my own, and Ido uot say but that I
lmve deserved tho less. Please God I
will i'edeain my wasted past, and with
His help make a man ot myself. When
lam worthy to be your husband you
will respect me, and until theu think as
kindly as possible of
GASKILL.
The letter struck the first noble chord
in Elizabeth's heart. From that hour
not even hor favorite niuid dared to
make little compaSsionato sncct's, at
'poor master.'
Steve in leathern apron and toalse
working clothes, began laboriously, hap
py days, which brought him nights of
sweetest sleep; and Elizabeth began a
series of let'ih'fi to her husband which
gradually grew more imbued with ten
der interest and respect. In a few
\Veeks She visited him ot her own free
will, and purposely going to tho works
saw her sell-banished lord wielding a
ponderous hammer upon a bar ot while
hot iron. • v -
Swarthy, bare-armed, clothed in leath«.
erj ho had never looked so handsome ,in
Elizabeth's eyes; and her eyes revealed
the fact to Steve,for in them was the teu-.
dor light of love founded upon genuine
lespecf. Steve deserved it. lie wrought
faithfully out his two years' aerVice check
ed by his wife's letters and visits, and
vV hen he came out of the Dairy tuple
works there was no more finished iron
master than he,
He held his bead friendly up now and
looked lortune boldly in the face; he
could earn bis own living anywhere, aud
better than all, he had conquered his
wife—won her esteem, and compelled
her to acknowledge a physical strength
and moral purpose greater than her
own.
Between Leeds and Braithwalio hall
there have been for many years gigan

their work is famous lor excellence for

overlooks every detail. The profits
are enormous, and Stephen Gaskill,
their proprietor, is also tho well-belov
ed and respected master ol Braithwaite

Hibernian Compliment*-
No prettier compliment can he given
than that which comes from the warm
hoart and quick wit ot the true Iliber*
ttiaii. Mike was laying l avement brick
in the hot sun, and the lady of the houso
mixed up a nice, cool driuk and carried
it out to quench his thirst. After a long
drawn'swig.'he wiped his mouth on
his sleeve aud said: 'Ye'll be in heav
en sivia years before tbe divil'll find it
