One of these stories -of his I will tell to you. - -“When I was about as high as you are now,” said Uncle John, “I was very -fond of playing with gunpowder. All my odd half-pence were carefully -saved, to buy the materials for making such fire-works as boys are able -to do. I did this secretly, for my mother would never allow me to do so. -It happened one day that a gentleman came to visit my father, and among -other things, he asked me if I had ever read a little book which he -named. When I replied I had not, he gave me some money, saying, ‘I -should like to have you buy and read it.’ - -“‘I wish he had given it to me to buy gunpowder,’ said I to myself as -soon as he had gone; for I well knew that no one was aware that I had -the money in my possession. - -“It then occurred to me that I could still do with it as I pleased; and -I bought a quantity of gunpowder. As I was returning home with it, I met -a boy of about my own age, with whom I often played. - -“‘Come, Harry,’ said I, ‘I’ve got a fine lot of powder, and I want you -to come with me this afternoon, and we’ll have real sport.’ - -“‘Oh! I cannot,’ said Henry. - -“‘Why not? It is Saturday, and there is no school this afternoon.’ - -“‘Yes, I know that,’ he replied; ‘but the truth is, John, my mother has -such fears that I shall get killed or hurt, that I’ve promised never to -play with powder again.’ - -“‘Oh! dear!’ cried I, ‘this is always the way. Now, I do think you might -just this afternoon come and help me, for there’s no fun in playing -alone. Come, you shall have half the powder for your own.’ - -“‘Let me see it,’ said Henry. - -“I opened the brown paper, and showed him the quantity I had bought. - -“‘Oh! this is capital!’ cried he; ‘yes, I’ll come _just this once_.’ - -[Illustration] - -“We met in the afternoon, and began to make squibs and crackers. We had -made a few, when Henry proposed that we should get some fire and amuse -ourselves by throwing powder into it, a few grains at a time. Henry -went for the fire, while I went on with my work. I did not perceive that -in the paper which held the powder, there was a large hole, and that I -was losing my treasure, as it run through to the ground. Irritated by -this accident, I threw away the paper, and sat down to wait for Henry’s -return. He came to me in a few moments. - -“‘We must make haste, John,’ said he, ‘for here comes a great troop of -girls, and your sister Mary and our Lucy are among them. If they see us, -they’ll run home as fast as they can, to tell tales of us.’ - -“‘Well, then,’ I answered, ‘come, help me scrape up this powder, which -is all on the grass here, and we’ll hide away the whole of it, till they -are gone.’ We knelt down, and began to take the powder in our hands. - -“‘John,’ said Henry, ‘I’ll get up the powder, and you go hide away those -squibs among the bushes; and make haste; do, for I hear the girls, and -they’ll be here in a minute.’ - -“I caught up the bundle of squibs, and was running with them towards a -cluster of bushes, when I heard a loud cry from Henry, and turning -quickly, I saw the powder flashing into his eyes; and in a moment, he -had fallen forward into the flame. - -“As I darted forward, the party of girls, pale and trembling, appeared -among the trees, and I shouted loudly for help. But how can I describe -poor Henry, as he lay upon the ground; his beautiful face blackened with -the powder, and so shockingly torn and mangled, that it bore no -resemblance to that of a human being. - -“‘Is he hurt? Is he dead?’ said the little girls, pressing around me. - -“‘Who is he? oh! _who is he?_’ cried Lucy, throwing herself by his side, -‘it is not Henry, _our_ Henry!--you will not say so?’ said she, looking -in my face. I could only answer by cries and tears. Lucy raised her poor -brother in her arms. Her face was perfectly calm, and cold, while the -rest of the children were drowned in tears, and seemed not to think of -doing anything to obtain help. In a few minutes several men, who had -been alarmed by the noise, came running toward us. Without asking -questions, they took up the body gently, and we followed them towards -the house of his mother, whose last wishes I had tempted Henry to -slight. - -“As we approached the door, we saw the poor widow sitting quietly at -work in her neat little parlour. I cannot tell you, my children,” said -the old man, drawing his hand before his eyes, “how her sweet face -changed, as the dreadful sight met her eyes; but the same grave where -they laid poor Henry was opened twice in two weeks, and his mother was -placed by his side. Little Lucy was left all alone in the world, till I -persuaded my mother to take her to our home, and let me be her brother, -in place of the one she had lost. And I have spent my life in trying to -make poor Lucy happy. And now, my dear children, you know why I so often -urge you to obey your parents, and be willing to do as they wish. May -none of you learn the importance of this, by so painful a lesson as was -mine.” - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Old Man's Story, by Anonymous - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE OLD MAN'S STORY *** - -***** This file should be named 62309-0.txt or 62309-0.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/3/0/62309/ - -Produced by Charlene Taylor, Chuck Greif and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This -file was produced from images generously made available -by The Internet Archive) - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions -will be renamed. - -Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no -one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation -(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without -permission and without paying copyright royalties.

One of these stories -of his I will tell to you.</p> - -<p>“When I was about as high as you are now,” said Uncle John, “I was very -fond of playing with gunpowder. All my odd half-pence were carefully -saved, to buy the materials for making such fire-works as boys are able -to do. I did this secretly, for my mother would never allow me to do so. -It happened one day that a gentleman came to visit my father, and among -other things, he asked me if I had ever read a little book which he -named. When I replied I had not, he gave me some money, saying, ‘I -should like to have you buy and read it.’</p> - -<p>“<span class="lftspc">‘</span>I wish he had given it to me to buy gunpowder,’ said I to myself as -soon as he had gone; for I well knew that no one was aware that I had -<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_4" id="page_4">{4}</a></span>the money in my possession.</p> - -<p>“It then occurred to me that I could still do with it as I pleased; and -I bought a quantity of gunpowder. As I was returning home with it, I met -a boy of about my own age, with whom I often played.</p> - -<p>“<span class="lftspc">‘</span>Come, Harry,’ said I, ‘I’ve got a fine lot of powder, and I want you -to come with me this afternoon, and we’ll have real sport.’</p> - -<p>“<span class="lftspc">‘</span>Oh! I cannot,’ said Henry.</p> - -<p>“<span class="lftspc">‘</span>Why not? It is Saturday, and there is no school this afternoon.’</p> - -<p>“<span class="lftspc">‘</span>Yes, I know that,’ he replied; ‘but the truth is, John, my mother has -such fears that I shall get killed or hurt, that I’ve promised never to -play with powder again.’</p> - -<p>“<span class="lftspc">‘</span>Oh! dear!’ cried I, ‘this is always the way. Now, I do think you might -just this afternoon come and help me, for there’s no fun in playing -alone. Come, you shall have half the powder for your own.’</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="page_5" id="page_5">{5}</a></span></p><p>“<span class="lftspc">‘</span>Let me see it,’ said Henry.</p> - -<p>“I opened the brown paper, and showed him the quantity I had bought.</p> - -<p>“<span class="lftspc">‘</span>Oh! this is capital!’ cried he; ‘yes, I’ll come <i>just this once</i>.’</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 390px;"> -<img src="images/image05.jpg" width="390" height="356" alt="" /> -</div> - -<p>“We met in the afternoon, and began to make squibs and crackers. We had -made a few, when Henry proposed that we should get some fire and amuse -<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_6" id="page_6">{6}</a></span>ourselves by throwing powder into it, a few grains at a time. Henry -went for the fire, while I went on with my work. I did not perceive that -in the paper which held the powder, there was a large hole, and that I -was losing my treasure, as it run through to the ground. Irritated by -this accident, I threw away the paper, and sat down to wait for Henry’s -return. He came to me in a few moments.</p> - -<p>“<span class="lftspc">‘</span>We must make haste, John,’ said he, ‘for here comes a great troop of -girls, and your sister Mary and our Lucy are among them. If they see us, -they’ll run home as fast as they can, to tell tales of us.’</p> - -<p>“<span class="lftspc">‘</span>Well, then,’ I answered, ‘come, help me scrape up this powder, which -is all on the grass here, and we’ll hide away the whole of it, till they -are gone.’ We knelt down, and began to take the powder in our hands.</p> - -<p>“<span class="lftspc">‘</span>John,’ said Henry, ‘I’ll get up the powder, and you go hide away those -squibs among the bushes; and make haste; do, for I hear the girls, and -<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_7" id="page_7">{7}</a></span>they’ll be here in a minute.’</p> - -<p>“I caught up the bundle of squibs, and was running with them towards a -cluster of bushes, when I heard a loud cry from Henry, and turning -quickly, I saw the powder flashing into his eyes; and in a moment, he -had fallen forward into the flame.</p> - -<p>“As I darted forward, the party of girls, pale and trembling, appeared -among the trees, and I shouted loudly for help. But how can I describe -poor Henry, as he lay upon the ground; his beautiful face blackened with -the powder, and so shockingly torn and mangled, that it bore no -resemblance to that of a human being.</p> - -<p>“<span class="lftspc">‘</span>Is he hurt? Is he dead?’ said the little girls, pressing around me.</p> - -<p>“<span class="lftspc">‘</span>Who is he? oh! <i>who is he?</i>’ cried Lucy, throwing herself by his side, -‘it is not Henry, <i>our</i> Henry!—you will not say so?’ said she, looking -in my face. I could only answer by cries and tears. Lucy raised her poor -brother in her arms. Her face was perfectly calm, and cold, while the -rest of the children were drowned in tears, and seemed not to think of -doing anything to obtain help. In a<span class="pagenum"><a name="page_8" id="page_8">{8}</a></span> few minutes several men, who had -been alarmed by the noise, came running toward us. Without asking -questions, they took up the body gently, and we followed them towards -the house of his mother, whose last wishes I had tempted Henry to -slight.</p> - -<p>“As we approached the door, we saw the poor widow sitting quietly at -work in her neat little parlour. I cannot tell you, my children,” said -the old man, drawing his hand before his eyes, “how her sweet face -changed, as the dreadful sight met her eyes; but the same grave where -they laid poor Henry was opened twice in two weeks, and his mother was -placed by his side. Little Lucy was left all alone in the world, till I -persuaded my mother to take her to our home, and let me be her brother, -in place of the one she had lost. And I have spent my life in trying to -make poor Lucy happy. And now, my dear children, you know why I so often -urge you to obey your parents, and be willing to do as they wish. May -none of you learn the importance of this, by so painful a lesson as was -mine.”</p> - -<hr class="full" /> - - - - - - - -<pre> - - - - - -End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Old Man's Story, by Anonymous - -*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE OLD MAN'S STORY *** - -***** This file should be named 62309-h.htm or 62309-h.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/3/0/62309/ - -Produced by Charlene Taylor, Chuck Greif and the Online -Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (This -file was produced from images generously made available -by The Internet Archive) - - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions -will be renamed. - -Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no -one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation -(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without -permission and without paying copyright royalties.
