ther made it -necessary for him to call on'hiS sons for
Patriclenry was' accordinglylplaced iu
a country store ; an - soon afterward his father set
him up in busineSs_rith his elder brother;; William,
for a partner. Never was an 'enterprise more ill ad
vised. An idle youth ofgenjus set to sell
,groceries
and dry goods in a country store ! , The result was
more diverting than ,fortunate. Patrick Iletry; stort
keeper, like Patrick. Henry, schoolboy, was bent
upon following his orn fancies. 'lnstead of !drudging
at the counter °Abe ledger, lie procured a flute and.
violin,' upon which' he expended all . his i onergiea..
When not playing upon his favorite instil/Monts, he
..was anglink arid huntiog'as before; or amuiing him :
self by rebating stories to his customers. for the pur
pose of watching tlle expression of their" counte
- nunces. In ayearor two the store was closed. Hen
ri etas a bankrupt. ITcp add to the embarrassments
of his position, the future orator had just married a
young girl of then eghborhooti,- Miss Shelton, the
daughter.. of a respecMble fitrtner. With 6;1: asslaty
once of his father-in-law, lie purchased email farni;
Which in another year or two was duly
s under the
hammer. The scant' property still in his possession
was again ini-ested in -" merchandise," and Henry
returned to his violin, hisfiute,- his angling, and his
story-telling, with ardor: He played excellently, told
-a capital story, and 'I never had it in his. heart to
refuse any one credit.' ] , The intlvitable consequence'
of this method of curtlying on business was bankruptcy ,
as
.before; and Henry found liiniself for the third
tithe= thrown upon tbe ivorld:withOut the means of 1
suppoi'ring hisfitthily.' What was hp to do r ,He had
''twice tried trade, and once agriculture. The lair '
only remained, sine Medieine requi4/1' a long and
expensive course or Study. ...Upon the laboriOuS' pro- ,
fession Upon- Which he nbw:designedl l entPring, - he
expended, ivith characteristic indolence;'' hut six
Weeks' studS'. Be'then presented himself for, eiMia.
illation and license. The examiners found him Aso
ignorant that they refused his petition; Mit after
much persuasion, and a promise that he would study
farther, granted the license. It was all the' yquag
man wished. His buoyant spirits - sustained him; Mid
he entered with good heart upon' the most laborious
of professions, and one of the most complex Of Eel
ences, with an unconquerable idleness, and nit igno
rance of the plainest forms. He could: not write a
declaration or draw a deed. The natural consequence
was that he got no business, and this ill success came
at a moment when it was most unfortunate. He WAS
entirely without icsources, arid 'indeed would have
suffered pesitir'elllisttless had not Mr: Shelton, his
father-in-law, received him under
.his ;roof." - .Mr.
-Shelton was then keeping the tavern at 'llanorer
Court House ;, thid in his absence, Patrick Henry
filled his place, and httendeil to the wants Or the
guests. This was the origin of the stateme4,, which
even Jefferson believed, that the great orat'or - was
"originally a barkeeper." That he kept the bar in
one sense of the word, is true, but at thetime hewa_ .
it licensed attorney.. Still he found no one.wlth ins
bold enough to employ him, ' His idleness and igno
atT*,•nc*lngs. tcl trvz„ Isti l . h . yr - nie l lf,;hittr
cloudk ' But the darkhst hour had passed,' The ft/..
turc would be all tlic" brighter , for - the pest groom.
The inoment wasathand when 11'e - would start upon
the splendid career Which thenceforth he mt.; 'des
'tined to pursue to the' end /atlas life. In the year
4763, and-when 'Patrick -Henry
.. was'twenty-Seren
years old, he was retained in his first suit—the; eel&
