  The Reader’s Neck brought into Danger by a Decription, his Ecape, and the Condecenion of Mis Bridget Allworthy.

HE Gothick Stile of Building could produce nothing nobler than Mr. Allworthy’s Houe. There was an Air of Grandeur in it, that truck you with Awe, and rival’d the Beauties of the bet Grecian Architecture; and it was as commodious within, as venerable without.

It tood on the South-eat Side of a Hill, but nearer the Bottom than the Top of it, o as to be heltered from the North-eat by a Grove of old Oaks, which roe above it in a gradual Acent of near half a Mile, and yet high enough to enjoy a mot charming Propect of the Valley beneath.

In the midt of the Grove was a fine Lawn loping down towards the Houe, near the Summit of which roe a plentiful Spring, guhing out of a Rock covered with Firs, and forming a contant Cacade of about thirty Foot, not carried down a regular Flight of Steps, but tumbling in a natural Fall over the broken and moy Stones, till it came to the bottom of the Rock; then running off in a pebly Channel, that

Brownie sits in the Scotchman’s room,
 * And eats his meat and drinks his ale,

And beats the maid with her unused broom,
 * And the lazy lout with his idle flail;

But he sweeps the floor and threshes the corn,
 * And hies him away ere the break of dawn.

The shade of Denmark fled from the sim,
 * And the Cocklane ghost from the barn-loft cheer,

The fiend of Faust was a faithful one,
 * Agrippa’s demon wrought in fear,

And the devil of Martin Luther sat By the stout monk’s side in social chat.

The Old Man of the Sea, on the neck of him
 * Who seven times crossed the deep,

Twined closely each lean and withered limb,
 * Like the nightmare in one’s sleep.

But he drank of the wine, and Sindbad cast The evil weight from his back at last.

But the demon that cometh day by day
 * To my quiet room and fireside nook,

Where the casement light falls dim and gray
 * On faded painting and ancient book,

Is a sorrier one than any whose names Are chronicled well by good King James.

No bearer of burdens like Caliban,
 * No runner of errands like Ariel,

He comes in the shape of a fat old man,
 * Without rap of knuckle or pull of bell;

And whence he comes, or whither he goes, I know as I do of the wind which blows.

A stout old man with a greasy hat
 * Slouched heavily down to his dark, red nose,

And two gray eyes enveloped in fat,
 * Looking through glasses with iron bows.

Read ye, and heed ye, and ye who can, Guard well your doors from that old man!

He comes with a careless “How d’ ye do?”
 * And seats himself in my elbow-chair;

And my morning paper and pamphlet new
 * Fall forthwith under his special care,

And he wipes his glasses and clears his throat, And, button by button, unfolds his coat.

And then he reads from paper and book,
 * In a low and husky asthmatic tone,

With the stolid sameness of posture and look
 * Of one who reads to himself alone;

And hour after hour on my senses come That husky wheeze and that dolorous hum.

The price of stocks, the auction sales,
 * The poet’s song and the lover’s glee,

The horrible murders, the seaboard gales,
 * The marriage list, and the jeu d’esprit,

All reach my ear in the self-same tone,— I shudder at each, but the fiend reads on!

Oh, sweet as the lapse of water at noon
 * O’er the mossy roots of some forest tree,

The sigh of the wind in the woods of June,
 * Or sound of flutes o’er a moonlight sea,

Or the low soft music, perchance, which seems To float through the slumbering singer’s dreams.

So sweet, so dear is the silvery tone,
 * Of her in whose features I sometimes look,

As I sit at eve by her side alone,
 * And we read by turns, from the self-same book,

Some tale perhaps of the olden time, Some lover’s romance or quaint old rhyme.

Then when the story is one of woe,—
 * Some prisoner’s plaint through his dungeon-bar,

Her blue eye glistens with tears, and low
 * Her voice sinks down like a moan afar;

And I seem to hear that prisoner’s wail, And his face looks on me worn and pale.

And when she reads some merrier song,
 * Her voice is glad as an April bird’s,

And when the tale is of war and wrong,
 * A trumpet’s summons is in her words,

And the rush of the hosts I seem to hear, And see the tossing of plume and spear!

Oh, pity me then, when, day by day,
 * The stout fiend darkens my parlor door;

And reads me perchance the self-same lay
 * Which melted in music, the night before,

The weather was too thick to see ten yards from the ship, so he, remembering certain captains who, under similar circumstances, failing to pick up the light on Cape Sierra Leone, had picked up the Carpenter Rock with their keels instead, let go his anchor, and kept us rolling about outside until the morning came. Slipperty slop, crash! slipperty slop, crash! went all loose gear on board all the night long; and those of the passengers who went in for that sort of thing were ill from the change of motion. The mist, our world, went gently into grey, and then black, growing into a dense darkness filled with palpable, woolly, wet air, thicker far than it had been before. This, my instructors informed me, was caused by the admixture of the "solid malaria coming off the land."

However, morning came at last, and even I was on deck as it dawned, and was rewarded for my unwonted activity by a vision of beautiful, definite earth-form dramatically un-

But if uch was her Expectation, how was he diappointed, when Mrs. Wilkins, according to the Order he had receiv’d from her Mater, produced the little Infant. Great Surpries, as hath been oberved, are apt to be ilent, and o was Mis Bridget, ’till her Brother began and told her the whole Story, which as the Reader knows already, we hall not repeat.

Mis Bridget had always expret o great a regard for what the Ladies are pleaed to call Virtue, and had herelf mantained [sic] uch a Severity of Character, that it was expected, epecially by Wilkins, that he would have vented much Bitternes on this Occaion, and would have voted for ending the Child, as a kind of noxious Animal, immediately out of the Houe; but on the contrary, he rather took the good-natur’d ide of the quetion, intimated ome Compaion for the helples little Creature, and commended her Brother’s Charity in what he had done.

Rh “And higher, warmed with summer lights,
 * Or winter-crowned and hoary,

The ridged horizon lifts for him
 * Its inner veils of glory.

“He has his own free, bookless lore,
 * The lessons nature taught him,

The wisdom which the woods and hills
 * And toiling men have brought him:

“The steady force of will whereby
 * Her flexile grace seems sweeter;

The sturdy counterpoise which makes
 * Her woman’s life completer;

“A latent fire of soul which lacks
 * No breath of love to fan it;

And wit, that, like his native brooks,
 * Plays over solid granite.

“How dwarfed against his manliness
 * She sees the poor pretension,

The wants, the aims, the follies, born
 * Of fashion and convention!

“How life behind its accidents
 * Stands strong and self-sustaining,

The human fact transcending all
 * The losing and the gaining.

“And so in grateful interchange
 * Of teacher and of hearer,

Their lives their true distinctness keep
 * While daily drawing nearer.

“And if the husband or the wife
 * In home’s strong light discovers

Such slight defaults as failed to meet
 * The blinded eyes of lovers,

“Why need we care to ask?—who dreams
 * Without their thorns of roses,

Or wonders that the truest steel
 * The readiest spark discloses?

“For still in mutual sufferance lies
 * The secret of true living;

Love scarce is love that never knows
 * The sweetness of forgiving.

“We send the Squire to General Court,
 * He takes his young wife thither;

No prouder man election day
 * Rides through the sweet June weather.

“He sees with eyes of manly trust
 * All hearts to her inclining;

Not less for him his household light
 * That others share its shining.”

Thus, while my hostess spake, there grew
 * Before me, warmer tinted

And outlined with a tenderer grace,
 * The picture that she hinted.

The sunset smouldered as we drove
 * Beneath the deep hill-shadows.

Below us wreaths of white fog walked
 * Like ghosts the haunted meadows.

Sounding the summer night, the stars
 * Dropped down their golden plummets;

The pale arc of the Northern lights
 * Rose o’er the mountain summits.

Until, at last, beneath its bridge,
 * We heard the Bearcamp flowing,

And saw across the mapled lawn
 * The welcome home-lights glowing.

And, musing on the tale I heard,
 * ’T were well, thought I, if often

To rugged farm-life came the gift
 * To harmonize and soften;

If more and more we found the troth
 * Of fact and fancy plighted,

And culture’s charm and labor’s strength
 * In rural homes united,—

The simple life, the homely hearth,
 * With beauty’s sphere surrounding,

And blessing toil where toil abounds
 * With graces more abounding.

land was pale with famine
 * And racked with fever-pain;

The frozen fiords were fishless,

And, through their dreams, the Urdarmoon
 * From west to east sailed slow!

The next Step was to examine among the Inhabitants of the Parih; and this was referred to Mrs. Wilkins, who was to enquire with all imaginable Diligence, and to make her Report in the Afternoon.

90  On Rykdal’s holy Doom-stone
 * He slew to Frey his cow.

To bounteous Frey he slew her;
 * To Skuld, the younger Norn,

Who watches over birth and death,
 * He gave her calf unborn.

And his little gold-haired daughter
 * Took up the sprinkling-rod,

And smeared with blood the temple
 * And the wide lips of the god.

Hoarse below, the winter water
 * Ground its ice blocks o’er and o’er;

Jets of foam, like ghosts of dead waves,
 * Rose and fell along the shore.

The red torch of the Jokul,
 * Aloft in icy space,

Shone down on the bloody Horg-stones
 * And the statue’s carven face.

And closer round and grimmer
 * Beneath its baleful light

The Jotun shapes of mountains
 * Came crowding through the night.

The gray-haired Hersir trembled
 * As a flame by wind is blown;

A weird power moved his white lips,
 * And their voice was not his own!

“The Æsir thirst!” he muttered;
 * “The gods must have more blood

Before the tun shall blossom
 * Or fish shall fill the flood.

“The Æsir thirst and hunger,
 * And hence our blight and ban;

The mouths of the strong gods water
 * For the flesh and blood of man!

“Whom shall we give the strong ones?
 * Not warriors, sword on thigh;

But let the nursling infant
 * And bedrid old man die.”

“So be it!” cried the young men,
 * “There needs nor doubt nor parle.”

But, knitting hard his red brows,
 * In silence stood the Jarl.

A sound of woman’s weeping
 * At the temple door was heard,

But the old men bowed their white heads,
 * And answered not a word.

Then the Dream-wife of Thingvalla,
 * A Vala young and fair,

Sang softly, stirring with her breath
 * The veil of her loose hair.

She sang: “The winds from Alfheim
 * Bring never sound of strife;

The gifts for Frey the meetest
 * Are not of death, but life.

“He loves the grass-green meadows,
 * The grazing kine’s sweet breath;

He loathes your bloody Horg-stones,
 * Your gifts that smell of death.

“No wrong by wrong is righted,
 * No pain is cured by pain;

The blood that smokes from Doom-rings
 * Falls back in redder rain.

“The gods are what you make them,
 * As earth shall Asgard prove;

And hate will come of hating,
 * And love will come of love.

“Make dole of skyr and black bread
 * That old and young may live;

And look to Frey for favor
 * When first like Frey you give.

“Even now o’er Njord’s sea-meadows
 * The summer dawn begins:

The tun shall have its harvest,
 * The fiord its glancing fins.”

Then up and swore Jarl Thorkell:
 * “By Gimli and by Hel,

O Vala of Thingvalla,
 * Thou singest wise and well!

“Too dear the Æsir’s favors
 * Bought with our children’s lives;

Better die than shame in living
 * Our mothers and our wives.

“The full shall give his portion
 * To him who hath most need;

Of curdled skyr and black bread,
 * Be daily dole decreed.”

He broke from off his neck-chain
 * Three links of beaten gold;

Rabbi Nathan twoscore years and ten Walked blameless through the evil world, and then, Just as the almond blossomed in his hair, Met a temptation all too strong to bear, And miserably sinned. So, adding not Falsehood to guilt, he left his seat, and taught No more among the elders, but went out From the great congregation girt about With sackcloth, and with ashes on his head, Making his gray locks grayer. Long he prayed, Smiting his breast; then, as the Book he laid Open before him for the Bath-Col’s choice, Pausing to hear that Daughter of a Voice, Behold the royal preacher’s words: “A friend Loveth at all times, yea, unto the end; And for the evil day thy brother lives.” Marvelling, he said: “It is the Lord who gives Counsel in need. At Ecbatana dwells Rabbi Ben Isaac, who all men excels In righteousness and wisdom, as the trees Of Lebanon the small weeds that the bees Bow with their weight. I will arise, and lay My sins before him.”

And he went his way Barefooted, fasting long, with many prayers; But even as one who, followed unawares, Suddenly in the darkness feels a hand Thrill with its touch his own, and his cheek fanned By odors subtly sweet, and whispers near Of words he loathes, yet cannot choose but hear, So, while the Rabbi journeyed, chanting low The wail of David’s penitential woe, Before him still the old temptation came, And mocked him with the motion and the shame Of such desires that, shuddering, he abhorred Himself; and, crying mightily to the Lord To free his soul and cast the demon out, Smote with his staff the blankness round about.

At length, in the low light of a spent day, The towers of Ecbatana far away Rose on the desert’s rim; and Nathan, faint And footsore, pausing where for some dead saint The faith of Islam reared a domed tomb, Saw some one kneeling in the shadow, whom He greeted kindly: “May the Holy One Answer thy prayers, O stranger!” Whereupon The shape stood up with a loud cry, and then, Clasped in each other’s arms, the two gray men Wept, praising Him whose gracious providence Made their paths one. But straightway, as the sense Of his transgression smote him, Nathan tore Himself away: “O friend beloved, no more Worthy am I to touch thee, for I came, Foul from my sins, to tell thee all my shame. Haply thy prayers, since naught availeth mine, May purge my soul, and make it white like thine. Pity me, O Ben Isaac, I have sinned!”

Awestruck Ben Isaac stood. The desert wind Blew his long mantle backward, laying bare The mournful secret of his shirt of hair. “I too, O friend, if not in act,” he said, “In thought have verily sinned. Hast thou not read, ‘Better the eye should see than that desire

Adams v. Illinois

Petitioner's pretrial motion to dismiss the indictment against him because of the court's failure to appoint counsel to represent him at the preliminary hearing in 1967 was denied, and petitioner was tried and convicted. The Illinois Supreme Court affirmed on the ground that Coleman v. Alabama, 399 U.S. 1, in which this Court held that a preliminary hearing is a critical stage of the criminal process at which the accused is constitutionally entitled to assistance of counsel, did not have retroactive application.

Held: The judgment is affirmed. Pp. 280-286.

46 Ill. 2d 200, 263 N.E. 2d 490, affirmed.

MR. JUSTICE BRENNAN, joined by MR. JUSTICE STEWART and MR. JUSTICE WHITE, concluded that Coleman v. Alabama, supra, does not apply retroactively to preliminary hearings conducted before June 22, 1970, when Coleman was decided. Pp. 280-285.

MR. CHIEF JUSTICE BURGER concurred in the result, concluding, as set forth in his dissent in Coleman, that there is no constitutional requirement that counsel should be provided at preliminary hearings. Pp. 285-286.

MR. JUSTICE BLACKMUN concurred in the result, concluding that Coleman was wrongly decided. P. 286.

BRENNAN, J., announced the Court's judgment and delivered an opinion, in which STEWART and WHITE, JJ., joined. BURGER, C.J., filed an opinion concurring in the result, post, p. 285. BLACKMUN, J., filed a statement concurring in the result, post, p. 286. DOUGLAS, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which MARSHALL, J., joined, post, p. 286. POWELL and REHNQUIST, JJ., took no part in the consideration or decision of the case.

Edward M. Genson argued the cause for petitioner. With him on the brief were Charles B. Evins, Eugene Pincham, and Sam Adam.

Mis Bridget did not, however, uffer her to continue long in this doubtful Situation; for having looked ome time earnetly at the Child, as it lay aleep in the Lap of Mrs. Deborah, the good Lady could not forbear giving it a hearty Kis, at the ame time declaring herelf wonderfully pleaed with its Beauty and Innocence. Mrs. Deborah no ooner oberved this, than he fell to queezing and kiing with as great Raptures as ometimes inpire the age Dame of forty and five towards a youthful and vigorous Bridegroom, crying out in a hrill Voice, ‘O the dear little Creature, the dear, weet, pretty Creature! well, I vow, it is as fine a Boy as ever was een!’

Thee Exclamations continued ’till they were interrupted by the Lady, who now proceeded to execute the Commiion given her by her Brother, and gave Orders for providing all Necearies for the Child, appointing a very good Room in the Houe for his Nurery. Her Orders were indeed o liberal, that had it been a Child of her own, he could not have exceeded them; but let the virtuous Reader may condemn her for hewing too great Regard to a bae-born Infant, to which all

MR. CHIEF JUSTICE BURGER, concurring in the result.

I concur in the result but maintain the view expressed in my dissent in Coleman v. Alabama, 399 U.S. 1, 21 (1970), that while counsel should be provided at preliminary hearings as a matter of sound policy and judicial administration, there is no constitutional requirement that it be done. As I noted in Coleman, the constitutional command applies to "criminal prosecutions," not to the shifting notion of "critical stages." Nor can I join in the view that it is a function of constitutional adjudication to assure that defense counsel can "fashion a vital impeachment tool for use in cross-examination of the State's witnesses at the trial" or "discover the case the State has against his client." [p286] 399 U.S., at 9. Nothing could better illustrate the extra-constitutional scope of Coleman than the interpretation of it now to explain why we do not make it "retroactive."

This Jenny Jones was no very comely Girl, either in Face or Peron; but Nature had omewhat compenated the Want of Beauty with what is generally more eteemed by thoe Ladies, whoe Judgment is arrived at Years of perfect Maturity; for he had given her a very uncommon Share of Undertanding.

Rh There a comrade heard him praying, in the pause of wave and wind: “All my own have gone before me, and I linger just behind; Not for life I ask, but only for the rest Thy ransomed find!

“In this night of death I challenge the promise of Thy word!— Let me see the great salvation of which mine ears have heard!— Let me pass from hence forgiven, through the grace of Christ, our Lord!

“In the baptism of these waters wash white my every sin, And let me follow up to Thee my household and my kin! Open the sea-gate of Thy heaven, and let me enter in!”

When the Christian sings his death-song, all the listening heavens draw near, And the angels, leaning over the walls of crystal, hear How the notes so faint and broken swell to music in God’s ear.

The ear of God was open to His servant’s last request; As the strong wave swept him downward the sweet hymn upward pressed, And the soul of Father Avery went, singing, to its rest.

There was wailing on the mainland, from the rocks of Marblehead; In the stricken church of Newbury the notes of prayer were read; And long, by board and hearthstone, the living mourned the dead.

And still the fishers outbound, or scudding from the squall, With grave and reverent faces, the ancient tale recall, When they see the white waves breaking on the Rock of Avery’s Fall!

away in the twilight time Of every people, in every clime, Dragons and griffins and monsters dire, Born of water, and air, and fire, Or nursed, like the Python, in the mud And ooze of the old Deucalion flood, Crawl and wriggle and foam with rage, Through dusk tradition and ballad age. So from the childhood of Newbury town And its time of fable the tale comes down Of a terror which haunted bush and brake, The Amphisbæna, the Double Snake!

Thou who makest the tale thy mirth, Consider that strip of Christian earth On the desolate shore of a sailless sea, Full of terror and mystery, Half redeemed from the evil hold Of the wood so dreary, and dark, and old, Which drank with its lips of leaves the dew When Time was young, and the world was new, And wove its shadows with sun and moon, Ere the stones of Cheops were squared and hewn. Think of the sea’s dread monotone, Of the mournful wail from the pine-wood blown, Of the strange, vast splendors that lit the North, Of the troubled throes of the quaking earth, And the dismal tales the Indian told, Till the settler’s heart at his hearth grew cold, And he shrank from the tawny wizard boasts, And the hovering shadows seemed full of ghosts, And above, below, and on every side, The fear of his creed seemed verified;— And think, if his lot were now thine own, To grope with terrors nor named nor known, How laxer muscle and weaker nerve And a feebler faith thy need might serve; And own to thyself the wonder more That the snake had two heads, and not a score!

Whether he lurked in the Oldtown fen Or the gray earth-flax of the Devil’s Den, Or swam in the wooded Artichoke,

Hence perhaps it was, that the good Woman firt mentioned the Name of this poor Girl to Mrs. Wilkins; but there was another Circumtance that confirmed the latter in her Supicion: For Jenny had lately been often at Mr. Allworthy’s Houe. She had officiated as a Nure to Mis Bridget, in a violent Fit of Illnes, and had at up many Nights with that Lady; beides which, he had been een there the very Day before Mr. Allworthy’s Return, by Mrs. Wilkins herelf, tho’ that agacious Peron had not at firt conceived any Supicion of her on that Account: For, as he herelf aid, ‘She had always eteemed Jenny as a very ober Girl, (tho’ indeed he knew very little of her) and had rather upected ome of thoe wanton Trollops, who gave themelves Airs becaue, forooth, they thought themelves handome.’

 Jenny was now ummoned to appear in Peron before Mrs. Deborah, putting on the Gravity of a Judge, with omewhat more than his Auterity, began an Oration with the Words ‘You audacious Strumpet,’ in which he proceeded rather to pas Sentence on the Prioner, than to accue her.

Tho’ Mrs. Deborah was fully atisfied of the Guilt of Jenny, from the Reaons above hewn, it is poible Mr. Allworthy might have required ome tronger Evidence to have convicted her; but he aved her Accuers any uch Trouble, by freely confeing the whole Fact with which he was charged.

62   Or coiled by the Northman’s Written Rock, Nothing on record is left to show; Only the fact that he lived, we know, And left the cast of a double head In the scaly mask which he yearly shed. For he carried a head where his tail should be, And the two, of course, could never agree, But wriggled about with main and might, Now to the left and now to the right; Pulling and twisting this way and that, Neither knew what the other was at.

A snake with two heads, lurking so near! Judge of the wonder, guess at the fear! Think what ancient gossips might say, Shaking their heads in their dreary way, Between the meetings on Sabbath-day! How urchins, searching at day’s decline The Common Pasture for sheep or kine, The terrible double-ganger heard In leafy rustle or whir of bird! Think what a zest it gave to the sport, In berry-time, of the younger sort, As over pastures blackberry-twined, Reuben and Dorothy lagged behind, And closer and closer, for fear of harm, The maiden clung to her lover’s arm; And how the spark, who was forced to stay, By his sweetheart’s fears, till the break of day, Thanked the snake for the fond delay!

Far and wide the tale was told, Like a snowball growing while it rolled. The nurse hushed with it the baby’s cry; And it served, in the worthy minister’s eye, To paint the primitive serpent by. Cotton Mather came galloping down All the way to Newbury town, With his eyes agog and his ears set wide, And his marvellous inkhorn at his side; Stirring the while in the shallow pool Of his brains for the lore he learned at school, To garnish the story, with here a streak Of Latin and there another of Greek: And the tales he heard and the notes he took, Behold! are they not in his Wonder-Book?

Stories, like dragons, are hard to kill. If the snake does not, the tale runs still In Byfield Meadows, on Pipestave Hill. And still, whenever husband and wife Publish the shame of their daily strife, And, with mad cross-purpose, tug and strain At either end of the marriage-chain, The gossips say with a knowing shake Of their gray heads, “Look at the Double Snake! One in body and two in will, The Amphisbæna is living still!”

the old time back: I bring my lay In tender memory of the summer day When, where our native river lapsed away,

We dreamed it over, while the thrushes made Songs of their own, and the great pine-trees laid On warm noonlights the masses of their shade.

And she was with us, living o’er again Her life in ours, despite of years and pain,— The Autumn’s brightness after latter rain.

IFTY PIECES OF GOLD! Never before had Rodan the spearmaker of old Babylon carried so much gold in his leather wallet. Happily down the king’s highway from the palace of his most liberal Majesty he strode. Cheerfully the gold clinked as the wallet at his belt swayed with each step—the sweetest music he had ever heard.

Fifty pieces of gold! All his! He could hardly realize his good fortune. What power in those clinking discs! They could purchase anything be wanted, a grand house, land, cattle, camels, horses, chariots, whatever he might desire.

What use should he make of it? This evening as he turned into a side street towards the home of his sister, he could think of nothing he would rather possess than those same glittering heavy pieces of gold—his to keep.

It was upon another evening some days later that a perplexed Rodan entered the shop of Mathon, the lender of gold and dealer in jewels and rare fabrics. Glancing neither to the right nor the left at the colorful articles artfully displayed, he passed through to the living quarters at the rear. Here he found the genteel Mathon lounging upon a rug partaking of a meal served by an ebony slave.

 “I would counsel with you for I know not what to do.” Rodan stood stolidly, feet apart, hairy breast exposed by the gaping front of his leather jacket.

Mathon’s narrow sallow face smiled a friendly greeting. “What indiscretions hast done that thou shouldst seek the lender of gold? Hast been unlucky at the gaming table? Or hath some plump dame entangled thee? For many years have I known thee, yet never before hast sought me to aid thee in thy troubles.”

“No, no. Not such as that. I seek no gold. Instead I crave thy wise advice.”

“Hear! Hear! What this man does say. No one comes to the lender of gold for advice. My ears must play me false.”

“They listen true.”

“Can this be so? Rodan, the spearmaker, does display more cunning than all the rest, for he comes to Mathon not for gold, but for advice. Many men come to me for gold to pay for their follies, but as for advice, they want it not. Yet who is more able to advise than the lender of gold to whom many men come in trouble.

“Thou shalt eat with me, Rodan,” he exclaimed. “Thou shalt be my guest for the evening..” [sic] “Ando!” he commanded of the black slave, “draw up a rug for my friend Rodan, the spearmaker who comes to the lender of gold not for gold, but for advice. He shall be mine honored guest. Bring to him much food and get for him my largest cup. Choose well of the best wine that he may have satisfaction in the drinking.”

“Tell me what troubles thee.”

“It is the king’s gift.”

“The king’s gift? The king did make thee a gift and it gives thee trouble? What manner of gift?” [sic]

Mrs. Deborah, having ucceeded beyond her Hopes in her Enquiry, returned with much Triumph, and at the appointed Hour made a faithful Report to Mr. Allworthy, who was much urprized at the Relation; for he had heard of the extraordinary Parts and Improvements of this Girl, whom he intended to have given in Marriage, together with a mall Living, to a neighbouring Curate. His Concern therefore on this Occaion, was at leat equal to the Satisfaction which appeared in Mrs. Deborah, and to many Readers may eem much more reaonable.

“I am beseeched each hour the sun does travel across the sky by those who would share it with me.”

“That is natural. More men want gold than have it, and would wish one who comes by it easily, to divide. But can you not say no? Is not thy will as strong as thy fist?”

“To many I can say no, yet sometimes it would be easier to say yes. Can one refuse to share with one’s only sister to whom he is deeply devoted?”

“Surely, thy own sister would not wish to deprive thee of enjoying thy reward.”

“But it is for the sake of Araman, her husband, whom she wishes to see a rich merchant. She does feel that he has never had a chance and she beseeches me to loan to him this gold that he may become a prosperous merchant and repay me from his profits.”

“My friend,” resumed Mathon, “ ’Tis a worthy subject thou bringst to discuss. Gold bringeth unto its possessor responsibility and a changed position with his fellow men. It bringeth fear lest he lose it or it be

Containing uch grave Matter, that the Reader cannot laugh once through the whole Chapter, unles peradventure he hould laugh at the Author.

HEN Jenny appeared, Mr. Allworthy took her into his Study, and poke to her as follows:

‘You know, Child, it is in my Power, as a Magitrate, to punih you very rigorouly for what you have done; and you will perhaps be the more apt to fear I

 tricked away from him. It bringeth a feeling of power and ability to do good. Likewise it bringeth opportunities whereby his very good intentions may bring him into difficulties.

Did’st ever heat of the farmer of Nineveh who could understand the language of animals? I wot not for ’tis not the kind of tale men like thee tell over the bronze caster’s forge. I will tell it to thee for thou shouldst know that to borrowing and loaning there is more than the passing of gold from the hands of one to the hands of another.

This farmer who could understand what the animals said to each other did linger in the farm yard each evening just to listen to their words. One evening he did hear the ox bemoaning to the ass the hardness of his lot. ‘I do labor pulling the plow from morning until night. No matter how hot the day or how tired my legs, or how the bow doth chafe my neck, still must I work. But you are a creature of leisure. You are trapped with a colorful blanket and do nothing more than carry our master about where he wishes to go. When he goes nowhere you do rest and eat the green grass all the day.’

Now the ass, in spite of his vicious heels, was a goodly fellow and sympathized with the ox. ‘My good friend,’ said he, ‘you do work very hard and I would help ease your lot. Therefore, will I tell you how you may have a day of rest. In the morning when the slave comes to fetch you to the plow, lie upon the ground and bellow much that he may say you are sick and cannot work.’

So the ox took the advice of the ass and next morning the slave returned to the farmer and told him the ox was sick and could not pull the plow.

‘Then,’ said the farmer, ‘hitch the ass to the plow for the plowing must go on.’


text:
Page:The Richest Man In Babylon (1930).pdf/39

All that day the ass who had only intended to help his friend found himself compelled to do the ox’s task. When night came and he was released from the plow his heart was bitter and his legs were weary and his neck was sore where the how had chafed it.

The farmer lingered in the barnyard to listen.

The ox began first. ‘You are my good friend. Because of your wise advice I have enjoyed a day of rest.’

‘And I,’ retorted the ass, ‘am like many another simple hearted fool who starts to help a friend and ends up by doing his task for him. Hereafter you draw your own plow, for I did hear the master tell the slave to send for the butcher were you sick again. I wish he would, for yon are a lazy fellow.’ Thereafter they spoke to each other no more—this ended their friendship. Canst thou tell the moral to this tale, Rodan?”

“ ’Tis a good tale,” responded Rodan, “but I see not the moral.”

“I thought not that you would. But it is there and simple, too. Just this: If thou desire to help thy friend do so in a way that will not bring thy friend’s burdens upon thyself.”

‘But perhaps this is one Reaon which hath determined me to act in a milder Manner with you: For, as no private Reentment hould ever influence a Magitrate, I will be o far from conidering your having depoited the Infant in my Houe, as an Aggravation of your Offence, that I will uppoe, in your Favour, this to have proceeded from a natural Affection to your Child; ince you might have ome Hopes to ee it thus better provided for, than was in the Power of yourelf, or its wicked Father, to provide for it.

 “I had not thought of that. It is a wise moral. I wish not to assume the burdens of my sister’s husband. But tell me. You loan to many. Do not the borrowers repay?”

Mathon smiled the smile of one whose soul is rich with much experience. “Could a loan be well made if the borrower cannot repay? Must not the loaner be wise and judge carefully whether his gold can perform a useful purpose to the borrower and return to him once more, or whether it will be wasted by one unable to use it wisely and leave him without his treasure, and leave the borrower with a debt he cannot repay? I will show to thee the tokens in my token chest and let them tell thee some of their stories.”

Into the room he brought a chest as long as his arm covered with red pigskin and ornamented with bronze designs. He placed it upon the floor and squatted before it, both hands upon the lid.

“From each person to whom I loan, I do exact a token for my token chest, to remain there until the loan is repaid. When they repay I give hack, but if they never repay it will always remind me of one who was not faithful to my confidence.

The safest loans, my token box tells me, are to those whose possessions are of more value than the loan they desire. They own lands or jewels, or camels, or other things which could be sold to repay the loan. Some of the tokens given to me are jewels of more value than the loan. Others are promises that if the loan be not repaid as agreed they will deliver to me certain property in settlement. On loans like those I am assured that my gold will be returned with the rental thereon, for the loan is based on property.

In another class are those who have the capacity to earn. They are such as you, who labor or serve and are paid. They have income and if they are honest and suffer no misfortune I know that they also can repay

the gold I loan them and the rental to which I am entitled. Such loans are based on human effort.

Others are those who have neither property not assured earning capacity. Life is hard and there will always be some who cannot adjust themselves to it. Alas for the loans I make them, even though they be no larger than a pence, my token box may censure me in the years to come unless they be guaranteed by good friends of the borrower who know him honorable.”

Mathon released the clasp and opened the lid. Rodan leaned forward eagerly.

At the top of the chest a bronze neck piece lay upon a scarlet cloth. Mathon picked up the piece and patted it affectionately. “This shall always remain in my token chest for the owner has passed on into the great darkness. I treasure it, his token, and I treasure his memory, for he was my good friend. We traded together with much success until out of the east he brought a woman to wed, beautiful, but not like our women. A dazzling creature. He spent his gold lavishly to gratify her desires. He came to me in distress when his gold was gone. I counselled with him. I told him I would help him to once more master his own affairs. He swore by the sign of the Great Bull that he

 would. But it was not to be. In a quarrel she thrust a knife into the heart he dared her to pierce.”

“And she?” questioned Rodan.

“Yes, of course, this was hers,” he picked up the scarlet cloth. “In bitter remorse she threw herself into the Euphrates. These two loans will never be repaid. The chest tells you, Rodan, that humans in the throes of great emotions are not safe risks for the gold lender.

“Here! Now this is different.” He reached for a ring carved of ox bone. “This belongs to a farmer. I buy the rugs of his women. The locusts came and they had not food. I helped him and when the new crop came he repaid me. Later he came again and told of strange goats in a distant land as described by a traveler. They had long hair so fine and soft it would weave into rugs more beautiful than any ever seen in Babylon. He wanted a herd but he had no money. So I did loan him gold to make the journey and bring back goats. Now his herd is begun and next year I shall surprise the lords of Babylon with the most expensive rugs it has been their good fortune to buy. Soon I must return his ring. He doth insist on repaying promptly.”

“Some borrowers do that?” queried Rodan.

“If they borrow for purposes that bring money back to them, I find it so. But if they borrow because of their indiscretions, I warn thee to be cautious if thou wouldst ever have thy gold back in hand again.”

“Tell me about this,” requested Rodan, picking up a heavy gold bracelet inset with jewels in rare designs.

“The women do appeal to my good friend,” bantered Mathon.

“I am still much younger than you,” retorted Rodan.

“I grant that, but this time thou doth suspicion romance where it is not. The owner of this is fat and wrinkled and doth talk so much and say so little she

drives me mad. Once they had much money and were my good customers, but ill times came upon them. She has a son of whom she would make a merchant. So she came to me and borrowed gold that he might become a partner of a caravan owner who travels with his camels bartering in one city what he buys in another.

This man was a rascal for he left the poor boy in a distant city without money and without friends, pulling out early while the youth still slept. Perhaps when this youth has grown to manhood he will repay, until then I get no rental for the loan, only much talk. But I do admit the jewels are worthy of the loan.”

“Did this lady ask thy advice as to the wisdom of the loan?”

“Quite otherwise. She had pictured to herself this son of hers as a wealthy and powerful man of Babylon. To suggest the contrary was to infuriate her. A fair rebuke I had. I knew the risk for this inexperienced boy, but as she offered security I could not refuse her.”

“This,” continued Mathon, waving a bit of pack rope tied into a knot, “belongs to Nebatur, the camel trader. When he would buy a herd larger than his funds he brings to me this knot and I loan to him

 to his needs. He is a wise trader. I have confidence in his good judgment and can loan him freely. Many other merchants of Babylon have my confidence because of their honorable behavior. Their tokens come and go frequently in my token box. Good merchants are an asset to our city and it profits me to aid them to keep trade moving that Babylon be prosperous.”

Mathon picked out a beetle carved in turquois and tossed it contemptouslycontemptuously [sic] on the floor. “A bug from Egypt. The lad who owns this does not care whether I ever receive back my gold. When I reproach him he replies, ‘How can I repay when ill fate pursues me? You have plenty more.’ What can I do, the token is his father’s, a worthy man of small means who did pledge his land and herd to back his son’s enterprises. The youth found success at first and then was over zealous to gain great wealth. His knowledge was immature. His enterprises collapsed.

Youth is ambitious. Youth would take short cuts to wealth and the desirable things for which it stands. To secure wealth quickly youth often borrows unwisely. Youth never having had experience cannot realize that hopeless debt is like a deep pit into which one may descend quickly and where one may struggle vainly for many days. It is a pit of sorrow and regrets where the brightness of the sun is overcast and night is made unhappy by restless sleeping. Yet I do not discourage borrowing gold. I encourage it. I recommend it if it be for a wise purpose. I myself made my first real success as a merchant with borrowed gold.

Yet what should the lender do in such a case? The youth is in despair and accomplishes nothing. He is discouraged. He makes no effort to repay. My heart turns against depriving the father of his land and cattle..” [sic]

“You tell me much that I am interested to hear,” ventured Rodan, “but I hear no answer to my question. Should I loan my fifty pieces of gold to my sister’s husband? They mean much to me.”

For no Woman, ure, will plead the Paion of Love for an Excue. This would be to own herelf the meer Tool and Bubble of the Man. Love, however barbarouly we may corrupt and pervert its Meaning, as it is a laudable, is a rational Paion, and can never be violent, but when reciprocal; for though the Scripture bids us love our Enemies, it means not with that fervent Love, which we naturally bear towards our Friends; much les that we hould acrifice to them our Lives, and what ought to be dearer to us, our Innocence. Now in what Light, but in that of an Enemy, can a reaonable Woman regard the Man, who olicits her to entail on herelf, all the Miery I have above decribed, and who would purchae to himelf a hort, trivial, contemptible Pleaure, o greatly at her Expence!

 “Should thy sister’s husband come to me and ask to borrow fifty pieces of gold I should ask him for what purpose he would use it?

If he answered that he desired to become a merchant like myself and deal in jewels and rich furnishings, I would say, ‘What knowledge have you of the ways of trade? Do you know where you can buy at lowest cost? Do you know where you can sell at a fair price?’ Could he say yes to these questions?”

“No, he could not,” Rodan admitted. “He has helped me much in making spears and he has helped some in the shops.”

“Then would I say to him that his purpose was not wise. Merchants must learn their trade. His ambition, though worthy, is not practical and I would not loan him the money.

But supposing he could say ‘yes, I have helped merchants much. I know how to travel to Smyrna and to buy at low cost the rugs the housewives weave. I also know many of the rich people of Babylon to whom I can sell these at a large profit.’ Then I would say: ‘Your purpose is wise and your ambition honorable. I shall be glad to loan you the fifty pieces of gold if you can give me security that they will be returned.’ But would he say, ‘I have no security other than that I am an honored man and will pay you well for the loan.’ Then would I reply, ‘I treasure much each piece of gold. Were the robbers to take it from you as you journeyed to Smyrna or take the rugs from you as you returned, then you would have no means of repaying me and my gold would be gone..’ [sic]

Gold, you see Rodan, is the merchandise of the lender of money. It is easy to loan. If it is loaned unwisely then it is difficult to get back. The wise lender wishes not the risk of the undertaking but the guarantee of safe repayment.

 “ ‘’ [sic]Tis well,” he continued, “to help those that are in trouble, ’tis well to help those upon whom fate has laid a heavy hand. ‘’ [sic]Tis well to help those who are starting that they may progress and become valuable citizens. But help must be given wisely, lest, like the farmer’s ass, in our desire to help we but take upon ourselves the burden that belongs to another.

Again I wandered from thy question, Rodan, but heat my answer: Keep thy fifty pieces of gold. What thy labor earns for thee and what is given thee for reward is thine own and no man can put an obligation upon thee to part with it unless it do be thy wish. If wouldst loan it, so that it may earn thee more gold, then lend with caution, and in many places. I like not idle gold, even less I like too much of risk.

“How many years hast labored as a spearmaker?”

“Fully three.”

“How much besides the king’s gift hast saved?”

“Three gold pieces.”

“Each year that thou hast labored thou hast denied thyself good things to save from thine earnings one piece of gold.”

“ ’Tis as you say.”

“Then mightst save in fifty years of labor fifty pieces of gold by thy self-denial.”

“A lifetime of labor it would be.”

“Thinkest thou thy sister would wish to jeopardize the savings of fifty years of labor over the bronze melting pot that her husband might experiment on being a merchant?”

“Not if I spoke in your words.”

“Then go to her and say, ‘Three years I have labored each day except fast days, from morning until night, and I have denied myself many things that my heart craved. For each year of labor and self-denial I

 have to show one piece of gold. Thou art my favored sister and I wish that thy husband may engage in business in which he will prosper greatly. If he will submit to me a plan that seems wise and possible to my friend, Mathon, then will I gladly loan to him my savings of an entire year that he may have an opportunity to prove that he can succeed.’ Do that, I say, and if he has within him the soul to succeed he can prove it. If he fails he will not owe thee more than he can hope to some day repay.

Loaning to him wisely thou may’st help him to prosper and repay, but if unwisely you not only lose thy gold but help him descend into the pit of debt where is sorrow and unhappiness.”

When Rodan would thank him for his wise advice he would not listen, saying, “The king’s gift shall teach thee much wisdom. If wouldst keep thy fifty pieces of gold thou must be discreet indeed. Many uses will tempt thee. Much advice will be spoken to thee. Numerous opportunities to make large profits will be offered thee. The stories from my token box should warn thee, before thou let any pieces of gold leave thy pouch to be sure thou hast a safe way to pull it back again. Should my further advice appeal to thee, return again. It is gladly given.

Ere thou goest read this which I have carved beneath the lid of my token box. It applies equally to the borrower and the lender..” [sic]

Here Jenny expreing great Concern, Allworthy paued a Moment, and then proceeded: ‘I have talked thus to you, Child, not to inult you for what is pat, and irrevocable, but to caution and trengthen you for the future.

Jenny now firt lifted her Eyes from the Ground, and with a modet Look, and decent Voice, thus began:

HE hungrier one becomes the clearer one’s mind works, also the more sensitive one becomes to the odors of food.

For two days Tarkad, the son of Azur, had tasted no food except two small figs purloined from over the wall of a garden before an angry Babylonian housekeeper chased him down the street. The woman’s cries still rang in his ears and restrained his restless fingers from snatching tempting fruits from the baskets of the market women between whom he strolled.

He paced back and forth before the eating house hoping to meet someone he knew; someone from whom he could borrow a bit of copper that would gain him a friendly smile and a liberal helping from the fat keeper. Without the copper he knew how unwelcome he would be.

In his abstraction he unexpectedly found himself face to face with the tall bony figure of Dabasir, the camel trader.

“Ha! ’Tis Tarkad, whom I have been seeking that he might repay to me the two pieces of copper which I loaned to him a moon ago and the piece of silver which I loaned to him before that. We are well met. I can make good use of the coin this very day. What say, boy? What say?”

 Tarkad stuttered and his face flushed. He had little desireddesire [sic] to encounter the outspoken Dabasir. “I am sorry, very sorry, but this day I have not the copper nor the silver with which I could repay.”

“But get it then! Surely thou can’st get a few coppers and a few pieces of silver to repay the generosity of an old friend of thy father who aided thee when thou wast in need.”

“ ’Tis because ill fortune does pursue me that I cannot repay.”

“Ill fortune! Wouldst blame the gods for thy own weakness. Ill fortune pursues every man who thinks more of borrowing than of repaying. Come with me, boy, while I eat. I am hungry and I would tell thee a tale.”

Tarkad flinched from the brutal frankness of Dabasir, but here at least was an invitation to enter the coveted doorway of the eating house.

Dabasir pushed him to a far corner of the room where they seated themselves upon small rugs.

When Kauskor the proprietor appeared smiling, Dabasir addressed him with his usual freedom. “Fat lizard of the desert, bring to me a leg of the goat, very brown with much juice and bread and all of the vegetables for I am hungry and want much food. Do not forget my friend here. Bring to him a jug of water. Have it cooled, for the day is hot.”

Tarkad’s heart sank. Must he sit here and drink water while be watched this man devour an entire goat leg. He said nothing. He thought of nothing he could say.

Dabasir, however, knew no such thing as silence. Smiling and waving his hand good-naturedly to the other customers all of whom knew him, he continued,

“I did hear from a traveller just returned from Urfa of a certain rich man who has a piece of stone cut so thin that one can look through it. He put it in the window of his house to keep out the rains. It is yellow so this traveller does relate and he was permitted to look through it and all the outside world looked strange and not like it really is. What say you to that, Tarkad? Thinkest all the world could look to a man a different color from what it is?”

“I dare say,” responded the youth, much more interested in the fat leg of goat placed before Dabasir.

“Well, I know it for I myself have seen the world all a different color from what it really is and the tale I am about to tell relates how I came to see it in its right color once more.”

“Dabasir will tell a tale,” whispered a neighboring diner to his neighbor, and dragged his rug close. Other diners brought their food and crowded in a semi-circle. They crunched noisily in the ears of Tarkad and brushed him with their meaty bones. He alone was without food. Dabasir did not offer to share with

 him nor even motion him to a small corner of the hard bread that was broken off and fell from the platter to the floor.

“The tale that I am about to tell,” began Dabasir, pausing to bite a goodly chunk from the goat leg, “relates to my early life and how I came to be a camel trader. Didst anyone know that I was once a slave in Syria?”

A murmermurmur [sic] of surprise ran through the audience, to which Dabasir listened with satisfaction.

“When I was a young man,” continued Dabasir after another vicious onslaught on the goat leg, “I learned the trade of my father, the making of saddles. I worked with him in his shop and took to myself a wife. Being young and not greatly skilled, I could earn but little, just enough to support my excellent wife in a modest way. I craved good things, which I could not afford. Soon I found that the shop keepers would trust me to pay later even though I could not pay at the time. So I indulged my desires and wore fine raiment and bought many things for my wife and my home beyond the reach of my earnings. I paid as I could and for a while all went well. But in time I discovered I could not use my earnings both to live upon and to pay my debts. Creditors began to pursue me to pay for my extravagant purchases and my life became miserable. I borrowed from my friends, but could not repay them either. Things went from bad to worse. My wife returned to her father and I decided to leave Babylon and seek another city where as I thought a young man might have a chance to succeed.

unarmed caravans. Such deeds were unworthy of the son of my father, but I was seeing the world through a colored stone and did not realize to what degradation I had fallen.

We met with success on our first trip capturing a rich haul of gold and silks and valuable merchandise. This loot we took to Ginir and squandered.

The second time we were not so fortunate. Just after we had made our capture, we were attacked by the spearsmen of a native chief to whom the caravans paid for protection. Our two leaders were killed and the rest of us were taken to Damascus where we were stript of our clothing and sold as slaves.

I was purchased for two pieces of silver by a Syrian desert chief. With my hair shorn and but a loin cloth to wear, I was not so different from the other slaves. Being a reckless youth, I thought it merely an adventure until my master took me before his four wives and told them they could have me for a eunuch.

Then indeed did I realize the hopelessness of my situation. These men of the desert were fierce and warlike.

 I was subject to their will without weapons or means of escape.

Fearful I stood, as those four women looked me over. I wondered if I could expect pity from them. Sira the first wife was older than the others. Her face was impassive as she looked upon me. I turned from her with little consolation. The next was a contemptuous beauty who gazed at me as indifferently as if I had been a worm of the earth. The two younger ones tittered as though it were all an exciting joke.

It seemed an age that I stood waiting sentence. Each woman appeared willing for the others to decide. Finally Sira spoke up in a cold voice.

‘Of eunuchs we have plenty, but of camel tenders we have few and they are a worthless lot. Even this day I would visit my mother who is sick with the fever and there is no slave I would trust to lead my camel. Ask this slave can he lead a camel?’

My master thereupon questioned me. ‘What know you of camels?’

Striving to conceal my eagerness, I replied, ‘I can make them kneel, I can load them, I can lead them on long trips without tiring. If need be, I can repair their trappings.’

‘The slave speaks forward enough,’ observed my master. ‘If thou so desire, Sira, take this man for thy camel tender.’

So I was turned over to Sira and that day I led her camel upon a long journey to her sick mother. I took the occasion to thank her for her intercession and also to tell her that I was not a slave by birth, but the son of a freeman and an honorable saddle maker of Babylon. I also told her much of my story. Her
