THE SECRET BENEFACTOR

5 T 1 THive you attended to the. business I spoke of particularly, yesterday ¥ asked Mr. Lambert, a wealthy owner of real estate, addressing an intelligent, fair-looking young man, who sat at a desk, as the a%ove named gentle-. man entered his office. ‘ ' Charles Burchard colored with embarrassment. For a moment his hand moved nervously across his brow, then raising his handsome eyes to his employer’s face, he answered in a frank, steady tone — T ‘I have neglected to follow your instructions in this case.’ ' SSir! ‘I am sorry—’ :

‘Sorry! cried Mr. Lambert, angrily, ‘sorry indeed! and this is the way you attend to my affairs! Young man, if you think I will pass over this carelessness—’ \ _ I

‘1 beg your pardon,” said Charles, with a face like marble, but speaking in a calm tone, ‘I am guilty of no carelessness. I have endeavored to domy duty—’ by “Your duty was to follow my instructions. Number 23 has been ao= sing business for me long enough.— The family have had warning. You could not have misunderstood me, 1 told you that if the rent was not paid before 12 o’clock yesterday—’ ‘I visited the family,” rejoined Chas. ‘and it seemed to me that had you seen what I 'saw, you would not have had me apply the extremity of the law to their miserable case. They are very poor—they are sick—they are suffering. You would not have had the heart to—’ '

. ‘Charles Burchard,’ exclaimed Mzy. Lambert, angrily, ‘you have been in my émploy two years. I have found you faithful, honest, capable—and I would not willingly part -with yous buwt since you prefer your way of doing business to mine, and presume to dictate, it is not proper that we should work together any longer.’ ‘I have thought myself,” said Chas., ‘that since I cannot conscientiously pursue the extremes you deem necessary, it will be best for me to quit your service, lam ready,” he added, fixing his mild eye upon Mr. Lambert’sface: ‘I am ready to go. °

“Well, sir, we will have asettlement at onece. How much am I indebted to you? ‘What is-your due? _. * “Nothing. : . + ‘Nothing! How—how is this?

“You will see. Cast your-eye over thig_pag‘e:’ : . s

“Yes—l perceive—you have taken up your wages lately, as soon as due,’ said Mr. Lambert, who, remembering his clerk’s fidelity and capacity, was becoming softened. ‘This is a new, thing, however. But I presume you have invested your monéy advantageously ¥’ . L

‘I have tried to make a Christian use of it,” answered Charles, coldly. ‘Have you been dealing in stocks ?’

No;sir? -« { ; ‘Ah, you lost confidence in me, and thought proper to put your money into other hands ?’ ¢ -

‘I have neither made investments nor loans,” said Charles, with a peenliar smile. “What small sum I could command, I have used.’ Li “Youl’ | X ;

v Yes, Sir: g - ‘Bless me, Charles! I thought you & steady young man; and how you can have "consumed your entire salary, I am unable to conceive. -

‘And I presume:l should be unable to explain it to your satisfaction, sir. It is a subject which it can avail nothing to converse upon. If you get a man in my place immediately; I should be willing to save you -?;he trouble of instructing him' in the state of your business.” ‘ :

‘Certainly—if you please—and you shallbepaid— .. =

- ‘I did not make the offer expecting rémuneration. I trust that- I have kept my accounts in such a. manner that it will not require half an hour to make an' intelligent man' understand the entire business.” i

“‘Charles,’” exclaimed Mr. Lambert, ‘I dislike to part with you so. We have always agreed until this time. : ‘Six months ago,’ replied Charles Burchard, ‘this family in No. 23 could not pay their quarter’s vent. I had orders to turn them into the street. I did not do it.’ ' ‘But—Dbut the rent was paid.’

“You permitted me to give them a few days’ grace; you permitted'this, on my promising to see that the rent was paid. You are right, sir—it was paid ; the next quarter’s rent was also paid. " At present they cannot pay.— Knowing the condition of the family, I cannot follow your instructions. “Well,” said Mr. Lambert, hardening himself; ‘I have rules with regard to my tenants, which cannet be broken. I have rules with regard to persons in my employ, which nothing can induce me to break. Justice is my motto.— It is a good one; I shall stand by it.’

‘Mercy is a better one, sometimes,’ replied Charles, softly. ‘Justiceis admirable in all—but mercy in fhe powerful is godlike. % Thus Mr. Lambert parted with his faithful ' clerk. = Another took the place of Charles Burchard, and ‘the latter was without a situation.

About the first business Mr. Carroll, the new clerk, ;attended to concerned the poor family in' No. 23. “They vacate the premises immediately,’ he said to Mr. Lambert. ‘But there is something mysterious- about that family; they made allusions to yourself which I was unable to understand. - “To me! ‘ “Yes, sir; they spoke of your kindness to them—"’ : !

‘My kindness! ; Mr. Lambert colored.

.‘The man is a fine-looking, intellectual person, with thin cheeks, a broad, pale forehead, and bright, expressive eyes. He has been for a year or two at work on some mechanical invention, which he beliéves is to be of vast benefit to manufacturers. .

‘I have heard Mr. Burchard speak of that, replied Mr. Lambert. ‘But what did these people say of me ?’ ‘That they had been indebted to you for numerous favors—’ : ‘Favors!

‘Yes, sir—at work at his inveéntion, which of course can afford him no income until completed—Mr. Ward has not been able to do much toward the support of his family. Mrs. Ward, as I said is an invalid. . Their only child —a daughter of about eighteen, and a girl of some accomplishments—has done considerable toward their support. | ‘I have heard all this from Mr. Burchard. What did they say of me? ‘That in these circumstances they have received benefits from you, for, which they are very grateful.’ ‘lt is mere taunt—insolent. irony,’ muttered Mr. Immbert. ... ‘I assure yc'%u; sir, there were tears

in the poor woman's eyes when she said it; she was sineere. : A ‘Humph!”

~fThey appreciate these favors so x?rueh_ the more, said Mr. Carroll, ‘from the fact that, as Mr. Ward’s invention is a secret, and as all his instruments and contrivances have been in.the house, it would have been'a sore disadvantage to be obliged to move. His invention is now on the -eve of completion, and he is firm in the hope of Leing able to pay with interest all your benefits. Mr. Lambert was greatly perplexed by-this inexplicable conversation .of his clerk; but he concealed his feelings, and leaving Mr. Carroll to believe he was a man who di@ a great deal of good in a quiet way, went himseif to make an attempt to explore the mystery, by visiting No. 23. e - Heé found the-Wards making preparations to vacate the premises. To a beautiful girl, with a handkerchijef over her head, who was earrying small articles of furniture to the hall, he made known his wish to see Mr. Ward. This gentleman was engaged in packing up his machinery; but soon coming out of his private room and loeking the door belind him, he appeared ‘before Mr. Lambert. As these two individuals had never met, the landlord ' was obliged t 8 introduce himself. G

- “I feel highly honored—l am thankful for this new indication of kindness,” said Mr. Ward, with emotion. . ‘I understand,” said Mr. Lambert, ‘that you have been at work on an important mechanical invention.” - ; ‘Yes, sir, and I am happy to inform you it is completed; the model has: gone to Washington. I have used all the money I could serape together to pay the expensés of the patent right; but siry a manufacturing company are ready to negotiate with me for my machine, and ‘in a very short time I shall be able to pay all my debts.) i Mr. Lambert had hitherto regarded his tenant as a visionary. lle did not look like one. The thought struck Mr. Lambert that he might, aftervall, be able to pay his rent." - ‘ ‘I have concluded that I might as well ‘permit you to stay here.a short time longer—although I am myself pressed for money,’ he said with a thoughtful air. ] i ' My dear sir, exclaimed Mr. Ward, ‘this is a favor-I had no right to éxpect, notwithstanding all you have done for us; but lam sincerely grateful for all your kindness to me.. We. are, going into a miserable - house, we did not anticipate residing more than two or tliree weeks, or until I find my %unds coming in; and if we can remain here, you shall be no loser by the operation. Your debt I consider sacred ; those many benefits shall never be forgotten. -

" “Benefits! ‘I am not aware that you are much indebted to me—

“You are pleased to say so, but for two quarters’ rent you gave receipts in full, relyfng upon my honor for payment at'some future time. I have at no time doubted but that they came fromyou’ . : Mzr. Lambert: pressed his forehead with his hand. After apause he said: ‘And why, may I ask, why did you give me credit?> = = ‘Excuse mq for mentioning the subjeet) said Mr. Ward, with emotion, ‘but although you .parted in anger from your sister—’ L 1 ‘Sir!’ exclaimed Mr. Lambert, starting and changing color. Tt - ‘Hers was.a pardonable offense,’ said Mr. Ward. ‘She declined marrying the man whom you chose for her husband. You disowned her; you have never met' her since. But this was years ago. I knew you could not cherish resentment so long.” . ‘My God! cried Mr. Lambert, ‘what do you mean? I have heard nothing of her for twenty years. I know not what has become of her.” . i

Mr. Ward fixed his eyes upon his landlord in speechless astonishment. ‘ls it possible?” he murmured; ‘are Yo Serious o ‘Upon my soul! I have made inquiries for Mary, withoutsuceess. ' I have supposed her dead.”: . “Then these benefits hdave not been Pestowed because— '

‘Sir, I know nothing of what you say. I die with, suspense! If you know anything of Mary, tell me what has become of her. e

The tenant’s eye looked searchingly and earnestly into the landlord’s face; then taking him by the arm, he led him deliberately and slowly into another room. 3

There was a pale, thin woman sitting in an arm chair. : She started on seeing the two men enter, and uttered a faint ery of surprise. Eo ‘My brother!’ ' ‘Mary !’ gasped Mr. Lambert; ‘can it be my gister?’ . /1. ; ‘Y our sister and my wifel’ = .

An hour later, Mr. Lambert might have been seen entering Charles Burehard’s lodgings: * The young man was at home. With surprise he greet-ed-his late employer. The latter was apparently excited by the occurrence of some recent event.

*Young man,’ said he, ‘I have learned in what way you have used your salary the past year. b iRy

“You have compromised me; I—ldo mnot wish toblamesyou; but you should not have left the Ward family to suppose the money they received came from me. You paid the rent, and then gave them the receipts in jmy namelt. 1 Bl |

‘And do theyknow it?’ cried Charles. ] :

~ ‘Why should they not? Why did you not act openly with them ¥’ ‘I had no thought-that you would be injured by being suspected of helping them, and' I had my reasons for not wishing to be known as the author of the benefits,” said Charles, blushing: =~ & 0 ¢ Lo ‘I demand your reasons.

“The truth is, if I must confess it, I =1 hope some day to marry ‘Mz;iry Ward—'. bl CiAyel £ *She is a worthy girl, sir—" “But this is no reason!’ exclaimed Mr. L. G

~ “Well, then, you must know, sir, had I advanced money to the family openly,” said Charles recovering his selfpossession, and his face beaming with frankness, ‘there was a possibility that I might be suspected of unworthy motives. And again,even had it been otherwise, and I .could have won Miss Ward, as I would have wished to win her, 'she might have loved me more from a sense of gratitude than for my‘self; and I would hot have bought, her love.: As it is, I hope she loves me for what I am, and that she will accept my hand, when I am in position ‘to support a wife.” e _*“Charles,’ said Mr. Lambert, pressing the young man’s hand, I henor you! You have acted nobly. Return to

your situation; you shall have the entire control of my business; your salf ary shall be doubled—' ' ‘But Mr. Carroll— @ R ~ ‘He is not permanently erigaged. I - will procure a place for him. Charles, vou must come back! I confess I have acted wrong in this matter. . To tell you a secret, Charles, Mrs.” Ward is my own sister!” b ' " *Your sister! : i ‘I do not wonder at you astonishment; but it cannot equal mine, when I learned the fact this morning. I disclaimed all eonnection with her twenty years ago, because she refused to marry a man who was my friend, I was unjust. Afterwards she married Mr. Ward, of whom I knew nothing. she supposed, however, that I might have learned the facts; and all the ‘favors they have received from you have thus been eredited to me. But’ it shall all be made sright. T thank Heaven that I have now an opportuAty to atene for my injustice to my only sistér, and to thank you for the lesson in humanity “you have taught me. Wealthy as "I am, [ §llall never again distress a tenant for rents, without ascertaining whether he is deserying of any fayors:’ . : Mr. Lambert was not permitted to do all the good he proposed to his sister’s family. In afew days, Mr. Ward’s patent was decreed, and his fortune made. - Thanks to his noble inventjon, his family was raised to affluerice ; but Mrs. Ward did not disdain the kindness of her restored>brother. A

- Mr. Lambert had lost no time in acquainting his relatives with the nature of their indebtedness to Charles Burchard. If they esteemed and loved this generous-hearted young man before, what was now| their admiration of his noble qualities! None however, felt their influence like Miss Ward. 'The. only way in which she could express. her joy, gratitude and love was by becoming his wife, with a dowry.which relieved him, of the care of providing for the comforts of life. Presperous in business, happy in his domestic relations, Charles Burchard often had occasion to look back with a smile on the time when hé left the service of Mr. Lambert ‘for conscience’ sake.

e —— How to Write for Papers.

The following contains nrizmy truths, and though it may not interest all of our readers, we would commend it to the consideration of such as contemplate writing articles for publication in neivépapers. :

1. Never write for the paper unless you have something to say. Thoroughly good newspaper articltes are only written when a man feels: “Necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me if I write not this article.” If you have nothing to say, by all means say nothing. : ! : : 2. Don’t undertake to say what you have to say unless you are in your best mood. If you were a minister, I should say to'you, explicity, “never write for the papers on Monday.”’— Those of us who are not ministers have our “Mondays”’—though they often come in the middle of the week. It is, I have sometimes fancied, the custom of most amateur journalists to do their writing when they are too much fagged mentally or physieally, for “serious business.” The minister, for instance, who. is off the hook,. so that he can’t prepare a sermon for an audience of five hundred, rushes, mcontinently (or would rush, but for the buck-basket) before an audience of fifty thousand or so. Ought this to be thus ? : 2 : :

3. Jot down the' points that you want to- make (at least mentally) beforeyou begin to write. See the end of your article from the beginning.— If you have no points ‘to jot down, why then, you have really nothing te ‘Sa’y’ L i T - i

4. Put your points to the clearest and sharpest way possible. Don’t cover them up with verbiage. l.et them stick out. : 5. Say what you have to say in the fewest possible weords, and the simplest possible manner. Never make use of any allusions, a quotation, or a figure speech, which does no distinctly promote the impression that you are seeking to make. ° : 6. Stop when you are done. That is, possibly, the great secret:of the true journalist. He does not think that he must follow everything out to its last analysis. . He contents himself with suggestive hints which his reader is competent to follow out, and love to follow out, for themselves. -He realizes, now-a-days,articles are read, and prized, in proportion to their brevity. Of editorial matter: il A two column articlehas onereader in ene hundred. e

A column and a half, one reader in seventy-five. a T

A one column article, one reader in fifty. e LR A three-quarter column, one reader in twenty-five. # L G

A half column one reader in ten. A quarter column one reader in one

Boil yourself down, then, before you write for the papers, ask yourself with every fresh:page ‘'of copy, “Am I not redlly through ?” : 7. Cultivate vivacity of style and variety of expression. Abound in crisp, terse, epigramatic sentences. What Blair saysof preachers is pre-eminent-ly true of journalists: “Their first duty is to interest their audience.” Hereis where the “born, not made,” comes in.

8. Write always with a realizing sense of the factthat every sentence—nay, every word—will be subjected to the severest eriticism of ten thousand hostile eyes. Throw yourself into the attitude of a ecynical, captious, ignorant adversary, and carefully eriticise what you have written after it gets cold. = You:will be amused, often, to ~see what nonsense you have written—‘what loopholes you have invitingly ‘opened for attack. ;

' 9. Be courteous, even when fealty of truth compels you to be severe. - - Remember that you are a gentleman, whatever the advocate of rival opinions may-prove himself. Keep out of ‘controversy as far as possible. = It rarely pays. Never, in any cireum-, stance, be betrayed into a controversy with the editor of a paper. He has got you entirely at his merey. - . 10. . See to it that what you send to a newspaper be paragraphed, spelled, and capitalized as it should be. Write on one side of small sized paper in'a neat, clear hand, and shun abreviatiens, Take time to spell out words that will have to be spelled out in print. e s 11, Make up your mind to acquiesce cheerfully in- any digposition ' which the editor may, in his wisdom or folly, make of your artieles. Ten to onge,his judgment of our licubrations is more trustworthy than yours.” Certainly he knows better than you, quod decet (as Cicero, Horace, and Quintilian would say); that is, what hits the very high--est grace of journalism—adaption,

Keeping in view the first sentence in our declaration of our principley of getion, that “individual happiness depends upon the general prosperity,” we shall “therefore advocate for every State the increase in every -practicable way of all facilities for transporting cheaply to the seaboard or between ;home pro‘ducers and consumers, all the produetions of our country.
