FRANKLIN WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1893.
HACK AND HEW.
Hack and Hew were tho sons of God
In the earlier earth than now ;
One at His right hand, one at His le
To oboy as Ho taught thorn how.
ind Back was blind, and Hew was dnfnb,
llHt hoth had tho wild, wild heart •
Ami God’s calm will was tholr burning will
They made tho moon and tho belted stars,
They set tho sun to ride ;
They loosed tho girdle and veil of the sea,
The wind and the purple tide.
Bo ‘ h dower nnd b<>a9t beneath their hands
b<?aut -V and speed outgrow—
-*'- J furious, fumbling hand of Hack,
Aud llie glorying hand or Hew.
Then lire nnd clay, they fushionod a man,
And painted him rosy brown ;
And God Himself blew hard in his oyes
‘‘Let them burn till they smoulder down !”
And “Then said Hack, and “There
thought Hew,
“We'll rest, for our toil is done.”
But “Nay,” the Master Workman said,
“For your toll is just begun.
“And yo who served Mo of old as God
Shall servo Me anew as man
Till I compass tho dream that is in My heart
Aud perfect the vaster plan.”
Aud still tho erafstsman over his craft,
In the vague white light of dawn,
With God’s calm will for his burning will,
While the mounting day comes on,
Yearning, wind-swift, indolent, wild,
Toils with those shadowy two—
The faltering, restless hand of Hack,
And tho tireless hand of Hew.

EVERY BODY’S GOOD FRIEND
AT JOHNSON BURT.
HAT was the name
by which he was
mo s t frequently
jfS&j designated, a 1-
it though all of his
jfein '!§. acquaintances knew
i very well that his
g, visiting card bore
sc t, the words, “Mr.
Robertes Brune.”
He dressed well,
carried in public a
cheerful counte¬
nance and an in-
Xa> quiring eye, and,
as to business, his desk was in the of¬
fice of a private banking house near
Wall street, and he was supposed to bo
a silent partner of the bankers thein-
selves. He belonged to two or three
clubs and spent much time in each of
them, which is not tho way of city
men of brisk business manner, such as
Ml: •T1....A?' pusScfsed; and scores of
strangers, brought into one or other
of the clubs by city acquaintances who
did not know what else to do with
them, gratefully remembered Mr.
Brune as one of the evening’s chief
sources of enjoyment. He had a way
of becoming acquainted quickly and
of making new acquaintances feel en¬
tirely at ease with him, and he also
had a way of remembering a call or
two he had to make, and in which he
would invite a new acquaintance—of
the proper sort—to join, which was so
unlike the custom of New Yorkers in
general that men from other cities
and without New York connections
were likely to feel under obligations
to him and also to believe that they
had made the entree of metropolitan
society.
As time went on, it was remarked at
the clubs that Brune himself intro¬
duced many men from out of town,
but as all of these were anxious to re¬
pay all courtesies they received, and
were fairly able to do it, the members
Who took most notice of Brune’s hos¬
pitality made no objection, for they
were the professional club loungers—a
elass of men who never fail to enjoy
entertainments for which other men
pay. There pours into the great city
a steady stream of men and families
Who have made money elsewhere and
Wantto spend itwherethe mostpleasure
can be bought. To all these who fell
in his way Brune was as hearty as if
they had been old friends. He did
not introduce them to members of the
“Four Hundred,” hut he explained to
them, confidentally, that his own
friends were not of that particular set
because they did not care to be in it,
and that they were quite as good and
refined as most of the people whose
names appeared oftenest in the fash-
ionable news of the daily papers—a
statement which nobody could deny
He would take unwearied pains, too,
with families who desired to malic the
city their home ; he would take them
to real estate agents who could be
trusted to deal fairly with them, and
he knew tho best decorators and up-
holsterers, and dealers in furniture
and pictures and bric-a-brac, and he
would introduce newcomers in a man-
ner which would make them truly
grateful. He would also introduce
them to Holdem k Trust, the bankers
with whom he had his office, taking
<-‘ are A^t to assure them that there was
a great difference between banks in a
great city ; the bigger institutions were
mere machines, while Holdem & Trust
was a concern modeled after the Eng-
h H h banks, where the accounts were
few but large, and where any customer
was made to feel as much at home as
if he were in a friend’s parlor which,
indeed the business office of the firm
greatly resembled in its appointments
ur ,il quiet.
No one ever seemed to find reason
to complain of Brune; he never took
his male acquaintances to gambling
houses or got them drunk, and he
never made love to the youug ladies of
Indeed, to his newer acquaintance#
tEis seemed his only fault; for u mini-
her of young women who had broken
with their original cavaliers, as be-
came damsels who aspired to become
city belles, found Brune much more to
their liking than most of the city
youths with whom, through his kind
offices, they became acquainted. Ho
had so muoh of what women call
“style, ” and ho knew how to say nice
things, and to suggest new ways of
killing time, and to occasionally pro-
vide pleasant surprises that cost
money—a faculty which is quite ub
rare among city youths, in proportion
to their numbers, as in any country
village. To be the wife of such a man
would bo to become a social queen—
so the ught some pretty young women
whose knowledge came principally
from their day-dreams.
But Brune seemed provokingly blind
to nil intimations that there
hearts at his feet, waiting only to be
picked up; even when rallied on be-
ing a bachelor he would escape by
laughing and saying that he was really
too poor to marry and do justice to a
wife. This appeared strauge to many
who saw how freely he spent money
when ho wished to entertain a party;
but he was always able to say triily
that a bachelor’s personal expenses
were comparatively trifling, while to
maintain a home in good style in the
city cost a great lot of money—a
statement which heads of families,
whether new or old, were always ready
to verify from the depths of personal
experience.
The truth was that Brune had
started in life with a firm determina¬
tion to marry rich or not at all, and
he was keeping himself faithful to
purpose. It cost him terribly,
sometimes told himself, for he
really a susceptible fellow and
heart got a new scar about once a year
but he wasn’t going to win a
merely to have her taken from him
a matter-of-fact father, who
want his money spout by his
ter’s husband. He was in tho market;
if any rich man wanted him for a
in-law there was a proper way for tho
rich man to bring the affair
provided the daughter was pleasing.
Indeed, Brune was obliged to
one brilliant opportunity to marry
money, both father and daughter be¬
ing willing and anxious; hut tho lady
was a kittenish creature past forty,
while Brune himself was little
thirty.
But the god of love and the goddess
of plenty kept their eye upon him,
aud tliore came a time when they
seemed to join forces. Miss Adah
Moorhart, a handsome damsel from the
far West, had set her heart on becom¬
ing Mrs. Brune, and, as she had been
accustomed to having her own way
about everything else, she did not in¬
tend to be thwarted in her one great¬
est, desire. She had an able ally in her
mother, who held the family purse¬
strings in and i^anted family, just her such a husband man as
Brune the own
having amounted to nothing since he
inherited his father’s money.
a prudent woman, she had
her hankers, Messrs. Holdem & Trust,
very closely about Brune’s
and financial standing; but those
tlemen declined to say more than that
Brune banked with them ; his recount,
though not very large, was never over¬
drawn ; he had a few thousand dollars’
worth of securities in their safe;
business was a commission business,
which, in New York, was a term
covered almost anything; but
chanced to know that Br line s
branch of it was of a confidential na
ture, and that all the checks he depos¬
ited with them were drawn by
of good business standing. Behind
this thero seomed some mystery
Airs. Moorhart was determined to
solve; but the bankers pleaded
inesB confidence as their excuse for not
going into particulars, unless author-
ize.d to do so by their customer.
From that day Brune’s fortune was
made, as he half suspected when
bankers told him of Mrs.
visit, for a woman of strong will
abundant leisure will - expend a lot
both for the bliss of fathoming a
tery. Certainly there could not he
anything wrong about, Brune, or
one would know of it; no one
knew him said anything but good
him; besides, had he not always
known as everybody’s good friend?
Mrs. Moorhart tried to make her
even more agreeable to him than
hud been, while the daughter let
glorious eyes rest upon him from
to time in a manner which no
with eyes of his own could fail to
derstand.
“Mr. Brune,” said Mrs.
one evening, after her daughter
entertained Brune greatly by
of dashing horseback rides she longed
the wild country—a sport
to enjoy again, she said,
dared not hope for until she could go
back again to look over tho family
property—“Mr. Brune, that property
troubles the dead girl more than a lit-
! tie, and I would like to consult you
about it, if you’ll allow me. You’re
everybody’s friend, you know.”
*! arn entirely at your service, my
dear madam.”
“I heartily wish you were,” replied
, the lady with a sigh. “Much of the
j Western property which my husband
; inherited belongs to Adah—she is not
here, is she?—no, I thought not.
When she came of age, I insisted that
my husband should divide the estate,
as well as the personal property, only and
give her a share, she being our
child; I wanted her to learn the value
j j of instead money, of growing and how to take silly, eare fashion- of it,
j up a
able girl, only to squander tho
1 property of her husband should she
; ever marry. Of course she will inherit
all that remains, in the course, of
time. She managed it with capital
ability while we lived West, where she
was practically on the ground, but
yielded as large an income as it should,
It is very hard to secure good agents
there; all men of ability are restless
until they get into business for them-
selves. I would like our portion of
the estate properly looked after, too,
and wo are so desirous of feeling at
oaso about it that wo would be glad to
give a competent person a third of the
entire income for his services. I sup-
pose it would be presumptuous to
hope that you could afford to give up
your business here for something that
would bring you not more than twenty-
iivo thousand a year—a sum which we
would gladly guarantee you ; but if
you could entertain the idea, I assure
you that you could easily spend a large
part of your time in the East.”
“My dear Mrs. Moorhart, ” said
Brune, trying to keep his heart out of
his mouth, “I am more flattered by
your offer than words can tell. But
really, I’m afraid you overrate my
business ability. Were I to foil, I
would feel unspeakably unhappy; I
would be terribly humiliated should
Miss Moorhart find it necessary to
dispenso with my services, and, worse
still, to bo found fault with by her, of
all women iii the world.”
“Ishould imagine,” said Mrs. Moor-
hart, slowly and with a confident look,
“that you are clever enough at busi¬
ness to make your position so secure
that she could not afford to dispense
with your services, and that I wouldn’t
dare do so. ”
“My dear madam,” protested Brune, could
l “I beg you won’t tbink that I
I plan to take any advantage in business
I of a lady—of two ladies, indeed. unfair,” ”
“I didn’t suppose anything
was the reply; “all’s fair in—-there 1
I’ve said more than I intended, but
I’ve supposed that you held my daugh¬
ter in high esteem.”
“Higher, my dear madam, than I
ever had for any other woman. But
“You must be less observing than
your sex in general if you have not
learned that Adah, who is no flighty
girl, returns your regard. ”
“I am deeply grateful for your con¬
fidence, my dear madam.”
“May I ask whether any other
woman stands in the way of your act¬
ing upon my suggestion and becoming
my daughter’s business manager—for
life ?”
“None—none. By your kind per¬
mission, I will Bpeak to her this even-
mg.
‘You will make her very happy. But
perhaps my suggestion will lead you
to neglect business interests of your
own.”
“My own business,” said Brune,
slowly, “can he dropped at any time
without loss—that is, any loss to bo
thought of for a moment while I liuvo
such a wife to look forward to.”
“I have never known just what your
business was, but—” i
business,” “It is merely said Brune. a general co? $hission
“Selling, or buying?” speaking;
“Well, noj^her, strictly
that is—well, I assure you there is
nothing wrong about it, for ’twas
through it that I came to be called
‘everybody’s Moorhart good friend.’ ” and then
Mrs. bit her lip,
smiled as she askedi
“Will you promise to tell me all
about the business as soon as you are
married?”
“Upon my honor. ”
“Insist upon an early marriage, then
—all men do, I believe—and I will see
that Adah accedes to your wish.”
The wedding was a splendid affair,
according to the newspapers; the
bridegroom alone had so many friends
and well-wishers that not all of the in¬
vited could get into tho church As

COMPROMISE AGREED UPON.
Details of Hie Now Measure Complete
and Ready for the Senate.
Silver Will Still bo Coined But
There’ll be No Bonds.
The democratic conference commit¬
tee began its fourth day’s session Sat¬
urday in an attempt to reach a com¬
promise proposition upon which tho
contending factions in that party
could agree. During the day a num¬
ber of senators wero heard. The
compromise was finally drawn up and
agreed upon. The silver men yielded
three months of time to the president
and bomi the president agreed to eliminate
the feature. Thus tho compro¬
mise agreed upon provides for the
continued purchase of 4,500,000
ounces of silver monthly under the
Sherman law until October 1, 1894, at
which timo the purchases shall cease
It further provides for the coinage of
the seigniorage of silver now in the
treasury and also that all notes of tho
denomination of less than #10 shall bo
withdrawn from circulation and silver
or silver certificates inserted in their
stead. There it stops, leaving off the
bond provision.
After this was drawn up aud the
steering committee agreed to it, it was
carried around in the senate nnd every
democrat, asked to sign it. Every one
signed it except Beiiators Hill, Mills
and Irby. By the terms of the com¬
promise about #123,000,000 of silver
will ho added to the silver currency of
the country. The seigniorage in tho
treasury will coin about #53,000,000
sud tin- 54,000,000 ounces of silver to
he purchased in tho next year under
theti rms of the compromise will coin
about #70,000,000 1’his added to tho
silver money now in circulation will
run the total up to nearly #80,000,000,
tho amount the southern senators have
been insisting upon throughout tho
long light.
The compromise is not satisfactory repeal
to some of tho unconditional
newspapers. Tho New York World
calls it a partial surrender on the part
of the silver men. The Time8 calls it
senseless, malformed and vicious and
criticises tho administration for ac¬
cepting it. Nearly all the other news¬
papers acknowledge just what it is—a
forced concession on the port of tho
repealers to the silver men, and a par¬
tial victory for silver.
