JOHN OAK HEART AND SON.
bt dion bodrcioabi.t.
John Oakheart and eon are Baltic
iaerchaotB. YouDg John entered bis
father's office as a clerk, at sixtyf
pounds a year, of which he paid his
mother forty for board, lodging and
washing, and clothed himself with
the odd twenty. Do not imagine
that Mr. Oakheart'a establishment
required that assistance. The old
gentleman desired to make his son
feel that he supported himself. At
twenty-five years of age young Oak
heart married, receiving with his
wife a moderate sum of money. He
wants to purchase a share of his
father's business ; they cannot come
to terms. Young John can make a
better bargain with a rival house in
the trade. The old man hesitates ;
he likes the sound of John Oakheart
and 8on, but business is business.
Had he married a penniless girl, the
father would have given him what
he now refuses to sell; but now,
business is business, and, as a calcu
lation, he can't do it. So young
John becomes chief partner in a rival
firm to that which, one day, must be
his, and trades against the old man,
whose only sin is to lay up wealth
for his son.
Every day at 4 o'clock, leaning
against a particular corner on
'Change, stands the elder merchant,
his hands deeply sunk into his dog
eared pockets. A young city man
approaches ; they exchange a quiet,
careless nod.
"Feel inclined to discount for
1200 at long date ? "
"What security," asks John.
"Turkish '54."
" Any names 1 "
"My own only; it is a private
matter, and has nothing to do with
our house," replied the younger.
"I will give 4 per cent."
" I should want more than that, as
money goes—say 4§."
"The brokers only ask 4J," re
plied the young man.
"Then give it." And they sep
arate with an indifferent nod. That
was father and son.
Every Sunday young John and
his wife dine at Russell Square, in
the same house where old Oakheart
has lived for thirty years. His name
has been cleaned out of the brass
plate on the door. This house young
John still looks upon and speakB of,
as his home. All the associations of
'childhood are there—every piece of
furniture is an old friend—every ob
ject is sacred in his eyes, from his
own picture, taken at four years old,
with its clubby face and fat legs, to
the smoke dried picture of Oen. Al
berzombie. They form the archi
tecture of that temple of his heart—
his home.
After dinner the ladies have re
tired. The crimson curtains are
comfortably closed. The crackling
fire glows with satisfaction and old
John pushes the bottle across to his
son, for if old John had a weakness
it is for tawney port. 'Jack, my
boy,' says he, 'what do you want
with c£1200 ?'
"Well, sir," replied John, "there
is a piece of ground next to my villa
at Brixton, and they threaten to
build upon it—if so, they will spoil
our view. Emily," meaning his
wife, " has often begged me to buy it
and inclose it in our garden. Next
Wednesday is her birthday, and i
wish to gratify her with a surprise ;
but I have reconsidered the matter—
I ought not to afford it—so I have
given it up."
" Quite right, Jack," responded the
old man, "it would have been a piece
of extravagance," and the subject
drops.
îsext Wednesday being Emily's
birthday, the old couple dine with
the young folks. Just before dinner
old John takes his daughter in-law
aside, and places in her hand a
parchment—it is the deed of the little
plot of ground she coveted. He
stops her thanks with a kiss and
hurries away.
Ere the ladies retire, Emily finds
time to whisper the secret to her
husband, and the father and son are
alone. Watch the old man's eyes
fixed on the fire, for he has detected
this piece of affectionate treachery,
and is almost ashamed of his act,
because he does not know how to
receive his thanks. For a few mo
ments a deep, gentle feeling broods
( Concluded on Fourth Page. J
