V VOL. XVIII. ATLANTA, GA* TUESDAY MCHUflNG. APRIL 20. 1880. PRICE FIVE CENTS. MR. CLIPSHAM’S CALENDAR. By Edward Everett Hals. [For The Constitution.]! PAST I. Hr. Clipsham led a curious life, but, for a man at hie age, not an unpleaeant one. His -profeuional duties ware not oppressive, sod lie bad entered Into aesreerwbiehmade it almost sure that the? would never bo oppressive. He bad a very comfortable suit of rooms In his Sister’s house, and always breakflutod with her family. As will be seen, they did not often expert him at dinner, but nieces and nephews, Sitter Prno and her husband Wintergreon, were all slad If ha did look In at that meal. For the rest, Clipsham was a general favorite in Tsui worth, where he lived, and if thero were not a german every evening, or a pro. gresslve euchre party on his list, why there was the Thursday club and the Whist club and the Chen club and the Union and the Assoc! ation and the pretty new rooms of the Harvard club. “At to that,” said Clipsham truly, if you ask him how be spent his evenings, “I am never so happy as I am with a novel or with the newspaper at borne.” But it was to be observed that he seldom etjoyod this acme of bis happiness, at tho top notch of his UjTo'a The one thing of which Clipaoam’s friends J tuitu l VIA U1U scuuui wusmasreV) TV assets t of the people in Tam worth generally forgot to do. But it was also true that he did not attend , primary meetings. And it was by • aeries of rather curious circumstances that the public was led to place that oonfldouco In him which has now lifted, him so far out of tho line of machlno-run politics. It is the business of this story, to tell for the first time, as Or as I know, the way those circumstances followed on ocb other. CUpsham was a man of Inn memory. And this Iron was not all pig iron. One might say steel memory, or a memory of watch springs, if we understood better than we do, the aotlon “ "Is I mean lie things that tho national debt 80,198,765,432.10 when it was at that precise amount, but he also remembered that he had told the washerwoman's boy to come round at s quarter put B Friday evening, and ha would give him a ticket to tho cirens. On inch a combination of which I call the plg-lren mem* cry, and what I call the watch spnng memory, does much of the good cheer ana success of a hsnnv life depend. I cn a fetal day—I If be dli It was before breakfast—when one ought to be asked to remember anything —not whether Semlramis It the same of an empress or of a toad-stool. Bat he thought ho forgot something. And so it was that he wont down to Ur. Backup’s shop, and bought tills calendar of which l am to tell yon the atory. u.irsHAM pubckases a cai.eni.aii. There it Is. He gave it to me on the day of his Inauguration. Yonaoo it has tho days of the week on ona eesoil and tho dayi of tho month on another. Then yon tarn thiicog at the beginning J)f the month and yon are ready for thirty-one more dayi, if there he so many. The oulydafact in thsmschine is that yen might suppose that there ware thirty-one dayi in February. But' as Judgs Marshall said, ‘The court is expected to know some thing.” Now Clipaham is a charming public epoaker. He tells a atory well—in partlcnlarbe tells with great good humor a atory to hia own dis advantage. He remember! well—that has been said. He passes by a sudden change— what do singers call it, modulation?—from grave to gay or from gay to grave. Best of all, be never aays one word about hiuiaelf. Then bo never pretenda that ke doea not like to apeak. A man wonld be an aas who did not like to speak If he spoke ai well as Clipsham does. He makes no Introduction to his speech. When he has done he makes no “concltulon." Bust when you are hoping ke will say more ho aitsdown. And ho never makea a long speech. Those are all starling qualities, and they are not often united In one handsome, graceful, intelligent young man of 33 yean of ago. Bolt is that Clipsham la much Invited to public dinners. As for that, wo all are. But generally the Invitation la accompanied with S on meet him so seldom ata restaurant or pub* o table. You would generally find him, If yon went up stalre to the great din' over Delmonlco, or Wot— Young of Tamworth happenod on that day, to entertain ‘The Soul or the Soldiery," or tho “Brotbeis In Adversity,” or the “No Kipps Omega,” or wliatover solidity happened to bo bolding its annnal dinner. And If you looked in at tho right moment, Clipsham would be making a speech, and a very good speech, too. Ciipsnam'slttllo niece Gertrude, is tho flrit I'cicine of this story. And it is on her that the plot tarns more than Elinor Hay, who la the other heroine. Gertrudo has the run of the house but never ought to go into her un cle's room nnless ho asks bar. And this Gertrudo knows perfectly well. But on this day of which I speak, some Im pulse of Satan, as the old indictments would tell you, and Dr. Wntts would confirm thorn, led Grrtmdc into tho “study,” as tho room was railed. Tho same Manlchean divinity, where name begins with Shut shall not bo men tioned again, led ber to take down the eaten- uniform. Of conree they wen. For it was the gland army of tho republic. Bat George, who thoagbt it was tho western Kosorvc din ner, was surprised that the college men wanted to bring out their old bins frocks and bright buttons. “But that was all right,” ho said, “if they choose to.” Oddly enough his. friend Colonel Plunkett was receiving the guests, and Clipsham slipped into Ms hand tho note of apology ho baa written. Plankett slipped it into the little pocket of his uniform coat, and found It there two years afterwards when he dressed for the same anniversary again. Clipaham mumbled an apology. to Plankett, to which, almost of coarse, Plunkett in (baking hands with half tho soldiers of the did not hear. Clipsham Is a bright man. and one wonld have said that be wonld have caught the thread of the occasion earlier than he did. Butko did not hear one word in five that any one raid. As for tho uniforms, all tho world knows that five-sixths of tho college mon of the weat served in the war. Bealdefttbey had introduced Clipsham to Professor Bmidgrnbor, who bad just arrived, at tho ogont from tho CLIPSHAK SPEAKING TO THE WESTERN RESKUVE. dtr mentioned beforehand, and to try the screws. Bite twirled them this way. She twirled them that Of a sadden she besrd Kate Connor, the girl who made the bods. Gertrudo feared dauctlon; she hang up tho calender hastily, and fled! But alas, oho loft M., which standi for Monday, and ten, which stands for tho tenth day of the month, both one notch too high. T~ W., Th., F. and tho restall followed M., and tho engagements for governmont of nesao-CMsel to' study west ern education. Clipsham was Interested in , . i pre siding, which said, “Yon next," he knew that nowwaahls time to apeak, without having flat ha ' wonld, and thonsnlt was the same. Gertrudo was called by her mother, before she had say chance to go back again, and was made ready for a tennis party at Mrs. Fisher’s. And now it is, George Cllpoham came home-to areas for dinner. Ho stopped a moment, and took down^thc Cyclopedia to look at tho aooount of tho battle ol Bennington. For ho had boon turning over a speech ho was to maksat tho 1 army'gsthering, and be remembered Plunkett’s mother was a Stark. Ho wanted to make a good allusion to Holly Stark, and her widowhood, nut, aa he passed Ms desk, ho took thla fetal calendar, which guilty Gertrudo had not had time to hang on its peg. Clipaham hung It up without thought, mt did loot, to see to hia amassment that tho K nd army dinner was dono and gono jester- ’. Tho calendar said ho was to dine with the graduates of tho Western Itcscrvo college today. “Ducky I did not fire tho battle of Bennington on thorn," laid Clipaham to him self. “lint what trill l’lnnkctsayP’ Tho truth was that CUpsham bad thla dread- ful cold wnich you all had. And lost as you and I declared that we would go to Florida anotherwiutor If oar lives weto spared. Clipa ham bad dotorminod. Handkerchiefs? Ho was bankrupted In buying them. Hearing? He had been none deaf all the week. He did not cough very badly, but the “cold” was jut on that juncture of tho pharynx with the larynx, where It la so uncomfortable to havo it. Ho bad itayed at home tho day before and nursed doctor of divinity—an agent from Japan, or a traveling English lecturer. Now, u most of ns can buy onr modest dinner of mock turtle, tried oysters, charlotte rnaae and coffee at any rating bouse, oven the matt fussy, nctsyand snowy, for less than the lowest of there prices —onr invitations arc not ao attractive. To I'llpabam the Invitation always cams, with a ticket. That la qntte a different thing, and Clinahsu, who was in a good many college societies, was the great grandson of a Cinera ria to s, sid grandson of • hare of Lundy’s Lane, ton of tho man who stormed Chapnlle- nec.aml held the block house at Gannon’s Three Corners—Clipsham, I say, who was a member of the United Gtild of Man of Lettora and oftbe{Consoiidated Sodality of Lovers of Mart—Clipaham, whore good haaaor oad good fellowship bad related Mm to pretty much all tho aasocMtlone m Tamworth, and, indeed, la that whole state, found that ho was bidden to • public dinner almost ovary day. Indeed, sometimes, tho “bids,” u hia cMldlah>»»phtwi * called them, overlapped each other. This was tho rereea why hodtood JO seldom •Mg hie litem. Ob the other hand it wu the reason why To toll the whole truth, hia lister Prne had bad pea-soup and salt codfish for dinner yes- terdsy, and the children had been very noisy. Clipsbmn had determined to change the acene. So no had determined to dine with the grand- army today, and now the calendar laid the grand army dinner wu “done and gene.” “Well,” said Clipsham to himself, “I conld not havo spoken aloud anyway. And I should not have heard a word they mid. Western re serve, it is today. Lucky I looked!’’ And ho went on with bis droning, and thought over somo old Harvard stories which would do to toil the Western reserve graduates. As he went out furred, and oven veiled, and with those horrid Arctics on. which bXBTBCDK CHANGES TOE CALKEDAB. made him limp with pain, Prne met him at the doer. “Hear George, you are not going oat with that dreadful eongh. Why, I sere sure of yon. I have asked lire. OUphant and the Bryces to meet you, and l have rack a lovely pair of rm tiTf-harki M ■George intimated that ho did not hoar her. Prno shouted her bill of fere, physical and metaphysical. Into hia oar. George was aorvy. But ha was all ready. Aad to tho hotel dinner ho went, and left there eanvM*haeks behind. Proofs wonld be warm, alas! Aad at tbs Hotel JWfereoa-thut seas more donbtfol. The waiters el! know Georg* to a mao, and bo was ehewa to th* acoeptloa parlor In- oteatly. Tba reader understands what George did not—why a third of the guests were in lean soldier, oi would havo been had Cll truth, that he post. Instead feeling, on the had been laid before b'idorWdmuT^ ’oily Stark, as there ism understood the wu speaking to a grand army of this he spoke, with sorlous work which educated men can render In any community. What he had boon saying to the German he now uid aloud. There is tho secret of a good (pooch. Ho spoke to tho men before him u If they wore all rcholan, all men of conscience, and all leaden In tho villages or towns where they lived. He told some good stories, he msdo some good Jokes, but hia speech was not la the least commonplace, and it ended with a very serious pledge u to the duty they wonld all do for the country. It wu received rapturously—yes, wildly. Indeed, u the reader will understand, it wu better received than It would havo boon by the graduates, whom Clipsham thought ho wu addressing. Every one of these good fol low! wu pleased that one of the moat accom- E llshrd men of letters In Tamworth spoke to Im aa an equal with equals. They had only too much or soldier talk, and were glad to hear something rang or uid to another tune. Cllpoham bad gone deeper down than tho average and commonplace u ho wu apt to do. Now yon would uy that before be loft the hotel ho wonld havo found hia mistake, or that, at all events, he wonld hare understood it bom tho nesrapapon tho noxt morning. But there yon are quite wrong. In the first place, he only stayed “to listen to taro more speeches,” ns he aid. For It did not seem courteous to go away tho moment ho bad him- •elf apoken. In fact, ho did not bear one word of either of them. Aa for the newspapers, Clipaham generally looked at them, though not always. Ho never looked, howovor, at what tho reporters called thoir ''sketches” of Ms speeches. “Why should ! make myself miserable?" uid Clipaham. “Nobody olso reada the things and why should I?” If ho bad stayed long at Ms office the next morning, or had looked in at the club, ho might have found that hia calendar wu all wrong, but Instead of this, he took Dr. Bmldgraber to ex amine the High school, ao he remained quite ante that bo had spoken to therellego men tho night before, and that tonight ho wu to opuk to the carriage builders. In feet, as the read er knows, bo would moot tho collage men and the carrltgo builders’ night sronld not come till tomorrow. And all happened just as before, u it says in the Arabian Nights and in Orimm'a fairy lain. Only this timo Clipaham aat at tho crou-Uhlc, because ho wu to respond for Har vard, and wu among tho more distinguished guests, lint little did the poor fellow know what he wu to respond for. Ho did know lhat tho carriage bnlldan' association of the country brings together a remarkable body of men. lie baa dined with them s year or two before. Their tmslneu requires an Interest in design, a knowledge of the physical structure of the world, an acquaintance with all aorta and conditions pf men, all combined with great tact and promptneaa. Observe that car riage builders, like railroad men, are always lying to annihilate time, or to give no more iflt, which la the adme thing. “Ye shall bo- one like gods, transcendent fete." So Cllpoham knew he wu to speak to a bright act In point of feet, he did speak to the triennial gathering of the graduates of tho Western Reserve college, one of the oldest and breast of the western snivarsltiu. And he told them tiling! which it wuvery good for thorn to hear, bat which people did not often tell them at thus awotinga. Ho told them that aaanb man, bsoaaae ha can control Matter by spirit—that thla show* that he la a child of Mod, He told them that the child of God works with God, and that bore to the difference between work and labor, that Work elevates man, while Labor fatigues man. He charged them to see that the men whom they ployed should not bo mare iaborera, hot old became fellow-workmen with God. He ■aid they might cease from their labors, but that their work would always follow &om. And he uid very aerioasly that this was no natter of book-learning, that they would not find it In Seneca or Aristotle, bat that they wonld find it la proportion u they were moo of honor and of troth, u they forgot thorn- ■elves and consecrated their workshops Into Then be aat down, and just as It wu the night before, the speech wu reeoirod with ebcers. The truth is, that at any aacb college gathering in America, tba men are only play- ingot being men of lot tors. Every man of us isswotksnan.oronghttobouhamod if ho b not. Aa for poor Clipaham, tho nervona ox- C’tfimfatofbbi speaking brought on a fit of roughing and ho had toexenso himself and go homo. lfoaoakedhls feet in liot water with mui- lard, put a porous plutet on hia chest and went to bed with a lump of sagar t on which ho bod dropped Ayer's ( I oral. But ho alrpt all night and did not need tha sugar. Four days went on in this way with four different dinners. Nobody told Clipaham ho wu all wrong, because nobody knew. On tho other hand, every one thought bo wu all right, and said ha had never made aaoh good speeches in hit life. Tho next night he really went to tho carriogo builders' dinner. But ho thought ho wu at tho annnal mooting of the Cbantauquan Literary circlo. Thetis to aay, ke thought he was speaking tea largo company of people who, in tho midst of every sort of daily occupation, read regularly In a system atic course. So. in fact, ho was. And tho car riage builders liked hia speech all the hotter, that he made no pretence, u they uid. any other lawyer would have dono,to a knowledge of thalr business. Ho uid nothing about var nish, o* the strength of ash. of which he know nolkinr, and be did not ones allude to tho l.ub of tho universe, th* wheel of timo, tho ehaiist of tho sun, or Dr. Holmes's “Ode- hone Shay.” which bad been worked to death at their catohretlODS.
