The Exeter Times, 1879-4-17, Page 7inn, 17, 1879 MICHAEL ClARWWAVE'S HARVEST. CHAPTER •V.—Continue.1 telrhttt hove you got on, Michael," 119 asked, speal(iug more in sorrow than lit anger. In the first enthusiasm of going out to earn his living the young fellow— who understood well enough that his father's creditors considered not mere- ly the personal belongings but the act- ual skin of the family belonged to thele, and °mild have found it in their hearts to Dail the cuticle to the church doors by way of public example, 'its tt gamekeeper bhangs up a kite against some exposed bare—hall chivelrona ideas of denuding himself of everything save his poorest and oldest garments, x1111 selling all he possessed for the beuefit of those who had been despoil - 'His watch, his stads, hie shall stock of jewellery, consisting principally of preeeuts from those who regarded iliw las the future owner of Brayley ; these things he lead collected togother pre- liminary to offering thein for sacrifice when his godfather trenched the flatne of his ardor with this remtlrlc "Why., my poor Michael, all your' goods and chattels would not pay the hundredth part of a farthing in the pound of your father's liabilities. Keep your small possession, boy; nand, if it be any comfort to- you, remember, I say, those people aro not so mach to be pitied, after all. The sum tptal of the matter is that they preyed for high stakes and lost, and they are in- dignal,t accordingly. If Oweu had died yon never would have heard any- thing oouceruiog the iniquity of run niug in debt, though the iniquity would have been juet the same." Concerning Itis new clerk Mr. Hold- ing knew ratter lase than employers generally do knnsv of their employes. He heard frotn his refereuce that Mich- ael was re:lpeetable and of good family. With his owu ey•:-s lie :law he was a gentleman, or what he called a "swell.' The bloom was still on that peactl, the rough world lead not yet rubbed all the down of pleasant prosperity fromyouug Gargrave's appearllnce, That tirne when tt•iloi s might have wept to see the cut of his garments, and one by one the careft 1 habits of youu.ler days began, 1iltar the ruddy countenance, to fade awltry and ba for- Itosotteu, bad not yet arrived ; and some- times Mr. Holding, looking at the youth as he came briskly walking np to the office, would wonder vaguely LOW long he would keep him, when he would make it up with Inc friends, 1 For that Michael had quarreled with his friends, and lead chute to Lmndon in a huff to seek his fortune was one of the fixed opinions of Mr. Holding's life ; indeed, it may be questioned whether to the hour of his death he did not entertain a belief than young Gargrave had come into the city quite as a matter of choice. ""Perhaps there was a girl at the bottom of the business," thought he, whose forte did not lie in imagination ; ""but he is full young for that sort of thing. iierhaps they wanted him to go into the church ; Home lads do objecttto be controlled by their elders." Mr. Holding could not make the af- fair out—indeed, ho did not puzzle much about it, exct pt as any change in Mr. Gargrave's plans might affect him- self. Some hint of this sort let drop when he proposed to teach the new -comer how to keep a set of books. "Not that there is much gond in your learning anything of that kind," lliohaoi Gargrave thought it pos. sible, wondering what his employer's drift was in suggesting such a qu amt. ""Do you think, now, any of th would feel disposed to buy you a pa nerahip in a likely burliness ?" Mkhttel answered that ho felt per. fectl v sore none of thorn would. "Don't approve of your taking to trade, I anppeee 2" "It does not matter mach to them what I take to," replied the young man, and, indeed, there is no real why it should matter." r. I would riot talk like that, I wet not, united," remonstrated Mr. Ilo ins, 111 whr)fle ideas, as in his eouv satins, there was a oortaiu monoto ""I ata only speaking the trutl said Michael. "Well, I dare say you are, but th clay bo feints on both sides, Mos there are faults 017 both sides " 'Michael was about to answer that dad nut see in this case why Mr. Ho ing should iulagine there Abed he a fault at ell ; bat lie remembered h far his father's ways had led hila of the family fold, and held his tune "I know of a thing that I thous fight snit them if they had any noti the sort," 1'lr.Holdiug reworked, ter a long pause. "Auy uotiou of what sort ?" aslc the young man, whose thoughts b naturally followed his empluyer'e lot sentence. "Buying you a sharp—a partu ship," explained Mr.Tlulding,who ko. Michael wtid still almost as iguorant trade terms as ilIichael at a later peri found Lucy. "They would not thiolc of such ping," said the young man, decidecil cud frotn his tone Mr. .Holding f more eatiefietf still that between 1 leek and his clerk's "folks" there 11 eon what he mentally called a "f verde." The years went by. Looking fo watcl, Michael Gargrave never wou ave believed that they could have own ; but they wore come a11.t th were gone, and the days at Bray eemc'cl like a drew] ; and the stoat earted streets of London, the grind face work, the privations of his Ci xperieuees remained a reality. H was doiug better now. His salary wi ; 110 knew how to manage 11 esources ; he had learned to do wit ut, if he had not forgotten, tho mall uiceties of dress and habits whit 1 the outset of a career prove such raltback to every man who does n guratively commence the busiues ght iu his shirt -sleeve. A gentleman, unless he has ampl ommaud of money, is always in a civ zed country at a disadvantage wbe t to earn his living, because the ci utnstancos of birth and education hay tught him to need so much. Upo e other hand, he can speedily tear do without the things lie has hither considered necessaries, because i at category he has generally place west down on the list, if at all, per nal luxuries—sleeping soft, eatiu ften and of rich food, drinking of n lien than the simplest beverages. At first it seems strange to have to consider such matters ; but it is not difficult to deny himself; eo at least Michael Gargrave di,covered, and 1 believe his experience will be found to be but the reflex of the experiences of hundreds of other brat° lads from conittry parsonv,ges; of '"mothers' darn ings," younger sone of country gentry ricl'er in pedigree than in acres ; of al the goodly cow parry that year after yea ve come np to swell the tank and fit that great and best business army hill has for its motto, "'Honor and nesty first; and wealth, if it please God to send it, afterwards." Stinting himself, working bard, a ry Bumble but very efficient laborer tongst thousands of other laborers, chael Gargrave had made his way wards till he was in receipt of a fair )me for so young and inexperienced man. A very faitbfnl servant—a servant o would no more have dreamed of lug to form a trade for himself by stealing his master's c:istomers and making a connexion through bis em- ployer's correspondents than he would have thought of taking his money—a servant happily destitute of self-con- sciousness, of the belief that he did his wcrk admirably, that he was too good for his position, and a "better anon," morally, mentally, and socially, than the person who paid him his salary. 11 was quite the contrary in some ways, indeed, Michael felt the highest respect for Mr. Holding. Too new to London to understand the nature of Mr. Caeserow and his confederates when he was copying their letters and directing. their circulars, he knew not that they were little if at ail better than swindlers --men who, richly deserving to be prosecuted, managed nevertheless to keep themselves through all their rogueries within the letter of the law ; but Mr. Holding was different altogeth- er. inhis' office Michael Gargrave bad nev- 'er known him to do a mean or diehou• es. orable action. His trade—a poor enough one when em contrasted with that of many a man rt- who did not worlc one half so hard— was as straightforward es himself. There could he no deception in it as regards quality, and with reference to price he adopted the rule of a uuiforni percentage–so far as such a rade could, considering the fluctuations of cost aucl quantity of production, bo maintained. on Ile had no secrets in his warehouse. His books, alt of them, wore opeu 11(1 to hie cleric, who could see what profits ld- Mr, Holding made, what losses lie in- er• carred, what accounts were due to the ny. business, what sums were owing by 1," the baseness. Ase to what Mr. Holding did with ere bis profits young Gargrave knew noth, sly i.ug, however.

He might have been a bash. ed nor, a huebaud, a widower, the father ad of many children or of none, for all the est young man knew or cared about the matter. er- However admirable. Mr. Holding ew web not a man whose acquaintance of many persons who met him iu busi• od ness would have been likely to desire. He was taciturn, and, when he dict a speak, prone to deliver himself as y; though his ntterance of any sentence elt were something done against his will lite and under protest. A.1nan whose man - ad ners were against him, and whose air• eve pearance was against hien also ; but who was possessed, nevertheless, of a r- warm heart and a faithful natnro. Id One morning in the summer, after' so he bad completed his twenty-fourth ey year, Michael Gargrave, having then e been five summers in Mr. Holding's e- employment, said to that gentleman— of "Do von retnember, sir. telling me ty long ago that you knew of a. partnership e which might suit me if my friends wet e 1Is disposed to bny 1110 one ?" is Mr. Holding ]aid down his peu and h- confessed that he thongllt he did ra- se member the circumstance. h To anyone unaegainted with his pe a culiarities his tone was so llupromi?- nt ing that the onnversation might well s have ended here ; but his clerk had not spent five years with him in vain, e and so proceeded : i- "Do yon happen to know of anything 1) which would spit me now 2" r- "That is as it maybe," answered Mr, e Holding, and spoke never another o word till he bad fluished checking off n an invoice, then he said-- • "So you want to leave me, Gu- n grave ?" d "No, Str, I don't want to leave you," - replied the young man, not without g emotion, for there was a tone of sad. o nese in his etuployer's voice. ""'Vt' have been together a long time, and no fine need desire a better master; but 1 have a little money now, and I suppose I may as well go in fur making more. Money seems to be considered the only good in this world, and, at any rate, there is nothing much else lett to me to live for." c h fi s 11 0 e 1 r 0 s i1 d fi tl ll rse C t1 th to to til to s0 0 of he remarked, "as I suppose yon will ha soon be going back to your friends." of Michael luokod at him in amaze- 1';o glen t. "They're rich, arn't they," proceed- ed Mr. Holding. "Some of them are," answered the an young man. • bti "Then they won't like your stopping much longer in the City, I take it." up Oh ! they don't mind." (laid Mich- ael. "I may stop here forever for all they care." "I would not talk that way if I was wh tr you," remarked Mr. Holding ; "it is y never well for young folks to set them- selves altogether against their elders." "But I haven't set myself against my elders," explained the one "young folk," desperately. Mr. Holding shook his bead sagely. "You see, their notions may be dif- ferent," he persisted; and Michael gave up the task of explanation as use- less. Some time after this—a long time, indeed, a month's count iu any place, save in London, where days and weeks fly past at express speed—Mr. Holding recurred to his clerk's supposed posi- tion. "Yon said your, friends were rich, didn't you 2" "Some of them are," answered the young man, not caring to enlargo•upon his father's position amongst his well- to-do kindred. "A. few thousands could be raised by 'em without much difficulty, per. ilape."' - Mr. Holding looked et his cirri°.
