THE TOWN LOT
OnceJan' a time' it happened that'
the.men who governed in the
cipal ailitirs of weertain growing town
in the \Vest, resolved, in grave deliben , •
ation assembled, to purchase•a five-acre
lot at the north end of the city—recently:
incorporated—and have it improved foi 4
a park or public square: Now, it also
happened that all the saleable ground
lying north of the city wits owned by
a man named Smith—a shrewd, wide
awake individual—whose motto was,
"`Every man for himself," with an oc
casional addition about a certain gentle
man in black taking "the hindmost."
Smith, it may be mentioned, was
secretly at the bottom of. this scheme
for a public square, and had himself'
suggested the matter to an influential
Member of the council ; not that he
was moved by what is denominated
public spirit—no: the spring of action
in the case was merely "private spirit,'
or a regard for his own good. If the
te"rii decided upon a public
,QH$F@~
would have to be bought; and he was
the man who could get his own price
therefor.
As we have said, the park was de 7
cided upon, and a committee of two up
pointed, whose business it was to see
smith and arranged with him for the
purchase of a sui table lot of ground. In
due form the committee called upon the
landholder, who was fully prepared for
t he interview.
"You are the owner •of these lots?"
,said the spokesman of the committee.
"I am," replied Smith, with becoming
gravity.
- "Will you sell a portion of ground,
say five acres, to the city?"
"For what purpose?" Smith •knew
very well for what• purpose the land
was wanted.
"We have decided to set apart about
five acres of ground, and improve it 'as
a kind of park, or public prothenade."
.
"Have you indeed? Well, I like
that," said Smith; with animation.
"It shows the right kind of public
spirit."?
"We have, moreover, decided that
the best location will be at the north
end, of the town.''
"Decidedly My opinion," returned
Smith.
"I,Vill you sell us the requiredaetes?"
asked one of the eouueilmen,
"That will depend . somewhat upon
where you wish to locate the park."
The particular location was named.
"The very spot," replied BMith
promptly, "upon which I have decid d
to erect tour rows of dwellings."
"But it is tdo far 'out for that," as
naturally objected.
"Oh, no. Not a rod., The eft 'is
rapidly growing in tha direction I
have only to put up the dwellings re
ferred to, and dozens Will be anxious to
purchase lots and build all around them.
- Won't,the ground' to the left .of that
you speak of ILLIFiWef as well'?"
But the 'committee replied in the
negatiye, • The lot they had mentioned
was the one decided 'upon as best suited
for the purposes, and they were net .Pre
pared to think of any other• location.
All this Smith understoOd very well.
He was not only willing, but anxious
`for the city .to purchase the lot they
were negotiating •for. All he wanted
was to get a good round price for the
same—say four or five. times the real
value. be he feigned indifference, and
threw difficulties in• the way. '
•A few years previous to this time,
Smith - had purchased a considerable
tract of land at tho north of the then
flourishing yillage, at fifty dollars• an
acre. Its present value Was about three
hundred dollars an acre.
After a gook deal of talk on both
sides; Smith finfairieted- :to sell the
particular.lot pitched upon. The next
thing'waS' to arrange as to price.
"At what do you hold this ground
per acre?"
Itwas some time before Smith an
sw•ered this question. His eyes were
cast upon the floor, and earnestly did
he enter into debate with himself as to
the value lie should place upon the lot.
At first he thought of five hundred
dollars per acre.' But his cupidity soon
tempted hint to advance' on that sum,
although it month before he would have
caught at such an offer: Then he ad
vanced to six, to seven and to eight
hundred. And still he felt undecided.
"I can get my own price," said he
to himself. "The city has to pay, and
I might just as well get alarge sum as
a small one."
•".For what price will you sell?" The
question was repeated.
inust have a good price'."
'•We are willing to pay what !fair
and right."
Odurse. No doubt you have fixed
a liwit to which you will go."
, "Not exactly that," said one of. the
gentlemen. -
"Are you prepared to make an offer?"

i 0 mild get five thOnsand &Whirs as

lencehy the'salvo—"An article is id
' Vayp Worth what it will bring,"
(A week or two went; 'by, and SMlth
vas calling upon one of the members of
he - eon neil, to say that,if the city really
vanted the lot, he would sell at their
mice, leaving i with the council to act
ustly and gen rously, when a friend
said to him- 1
"I hear. that the council had the sub
ject of a public square under consider
ation this morning."
,"Indeed." Smith was visibly excited,,
though ho tried to appear calm.
,';"Ye-..ipoi d I also hear that they have
decided - to pay the extravagant price
you ask for a lot of ground at the noitlt
end of the city." • ' i
"A: thousand dollars an acre?"!--. ..
;"Its real value, and not a centmore "
said 'Smith. •, 1
"l'eople . differ about that. However,
you are lucky," said the friend, "the
city is able to pay,"
"So I think. And I mean they shall."
' BeTore the committee to whom, the
Matter was given in charge had time to
call upon Smith and close with him for
the lot, that gentleman had concluded
In his own mind that g, would be just
as easy to get twelve 'hundred dollars an
acre as a thousand, it was plain that
the council were bent upon having the
ground, and would pay a round sum
it. ,- It was just- the . spot for a public
'square; and the city must, become the
owner. So, when he was called upon
by the gentlemen, and they said . to
him— . _
' ' "We are authorized to paft , you your
price," he promptly answeredul
"The Offer is no, longer open. You
declined •it when' it was made. My
price for th t piece of property is now
twelve, : hum red dollarsun acre."
The men offered remonstrance ; but
it was of n avail. Smith believed that
he could gc t six thousand dollars for the
ground as asily as five thousand. The
city must have the lot, and would pay
almost any price.
"I hardly think it right, Mr. Smith,"
said one of hisNisitors. "for you to take
such an advantage. nis square is for
thepublic good.'
"Let the public pay, then," was the
nhesitating answer. "The public is
ble enougl?.". '
, "The location of this park at the north

this .4 '''SMlft?"lfiCanlattv• L-iry-
But' ho repliedl
"l'm not so sure of that. I have
seine very strong doubts on that sub-.
jest, It's my opinion that the. build
ings I contemplated erecting will he far
more to my advantage. Be that as it
May, however, 'I am decided in selling
for nothing less than six thousand dol
lars."
"We were only authorized to pay live
thousand," replied the committee. • "If
you agree to that sum we' wilt cliise the
bargain on the spot."'
Five thousand dollars was a large sum
or money, and Smith. felt strongly
tempted to close in with the liberal of
fer. * But six thousand loomed up be
fore Pis imagination still more tempt
ingly.
"1 can get it," said he to himself;
"and the property is worth what it.will
bring."
So he positively refused to sell it at a
thousand dollars per acie.
"At twelve'
i hundred you will!" re
marked one of the committee, as they
were about retiring. ' ,-" - •:-
"Yes. I will take twelve hundred
the acre. That is The lowest rate; Lam
not anxious, even atthat price. I can
do quite as well by !keeping 'it in my
own, pasession. Bilt, as you seem so
bent on having it, I will not stand in
your way. When will the council meet
again-?"
"Not until next week." -
"Very well. If they then accept my
offer all will be right. But understand
Inc;.if they'd° not accept, the offer no
longer remains open. It is a Matter - of
no moment to me which. Way the thing
goes."
It was a matter of moment to Smith.,
for all this assertion—a molter of great
moment. He had several thousand dol
lars to pay in the course oft few months
on land purchases and no way to meet
the payments except by ' mortgages or
sales of property ! and it may
,naturally
be concluded that he sutured' consider
able uneasiness during the time which
passed until the next meeting of the
council.
Of course the grasping disposition
Shown by Smith became the town talk ,•
and people said a good many hard
things of him. Little, however, did he
care, so that he secured . six . thousand
dollars for a lot not worth more than
two thousand. ~
Among other residents and property
holders in the town was a simple-mind
ed, true-hearted, . honest nu m, named
Jones.• His father had left him a large
farm, a goodly portion of which, in pro
cess of tune, came to be included in the
limits of the new city; and lie found a
much more profitable employment- in
selling building lots than in tilling the
soil. The property of Mr. Jones layl at
the west side of the town.
Now, when Mr. Jones heard of the
exorbitant demand made by ',Smith for
a five-acre lot, his honest heart throbhed
with a feeling of indignation.
"I couldn't believe it 'of him," Said
he. "Six thousand dollars. Prepoter
ous ! Why I would give the city a . l
lot
twice the size, and do it with pleasu .e."
"You would.?" said a member of 3 the
council, who happened to hear this re
mark. 1
"Certainly, I would."
"You are really in earnest?"
"Undoubtedly. Go and select a pub
lic square from any of my appropriated
laud on the west side of the city, and I
will pass you the title, as a free gift to
morrow, and feel pleasure in doing so."
"Mtt is public IOU," said the coun
cilman.
"Call it what you will. lam pleased
...
in making the offer."
Nev. : , let it not be supposed that Mr.
Jones was shrewdly calculating the ad
vantage 1 which would result to `him
from haVing a
_`park at the west .side of
the • citY. No inlet' thought had yet
entered his mind. He spoke from the
impulse of a generous feeling.
Time passed on; and .the session-day
of till() council came' round, 'a, day to
which Smith had looked forward with
no ordinary feelings of interest, that
were touched, at times, by the coldness
of doubt and the agitation of uncertain
ty. Several 'times he had more than
half repented of this refusal to accept
the liberal otrer'of five thousand dollars,
and of having fixed so positively upon
six thousand as the "lowest figure."
The morning of the day passed, and
Smith began to grow uneasy. He did
not venture to seek for information as
i.,
to the - doings of he council, for that
would be to expo e the anxiety. he felt
in the result o 1 their deliberations;
Slowly the afterrioon wore away and it
1
so )happened tha Smith did not meet
any one Of the c uncilmen ; nor did he
even know whether the council was
still in session or not. As to making al
lusions to the subject of his anxious
. interest to any one, that was carefully
avoided ; for he knew that his exorbit
ant demand was the town talk—and ho
wished to affect the utmost-indifference
on the subject.
The day closed, and not a whisper
a lout the townlot had come to the ears
o Mr. Smith. What could it mean ?
' -ad his offer tosell at six thousand been
sjectedi! The very thought caused his
heart to grow heavy in hisbosom. Six,
sevdn, eight o'clock came and still it
was all dark with Mr. Smith. He could
bear, the suspense no longer and so
(10qm - railed to call upon his neighbor
Wilson; who. was a member of the
council, and learn from him what had
been done:
Se he called on Ml'. Wilson.
"Ali, friend Smith," said the latter,
"hOw are you this evening ?"
"Well, I thank you," returned Smith
feeling a certain oppression of the chest.
"How are you!" .
•
"Oh very well."
Here there wasapause. After which,
Smith said—
" bout that ground of mine? What
di( 'ou do?" ' .
-----
tithing," replied Wilson, coldly.
"Nothing, did you say !" Smith's
voice was it little husky.
"No. You declined our offer;—or,
rather the high price fixed by yourself
u oni the land." . .
"You refused to buy it at five thous
and when it was offered," said Smith.
"1 - know we did, because your de
'mand was exorbitant." „
"Oh, no, not at all," returned Smith,
quickly.
"In that we only differ," said Wilson.;
"However, the council has decided not
to pay you the price you ask."
"Unanimously`,"'
"There was not a dissenting voice."i
Smith began to feel more and more
uncomfortable. .
"I might take somthing less," he
ventured to say, in a low, hesitating
voice.
"It is too late, now," Wa s Mr. 'Wil
son's prompt reply,
"Too late! How so?"
"We have procured a lot:" _
r. Wilson!" Poor Smith started
to his feet, in chagrin and astonishment.
"Yes; havtl taken one of Jones's
lots, ou the west side of ,the city. A
beautiful ten-acre lot s ."'
"You have!" Smith was actually
pale.
"111-41. have; and • the title-deeds are
now being made out."
It was - seine time before Smith hail
sufficiently recovered from the stun
ning effect of this;unlocked for ,intelli
geneel. o make the inquiry— _
"An pray how much did Jones ask
for WWII-acre lot."- I
"kenresented it to the cit,)f as a gift,"
repoeu
"A gift! What folly !"
"No, not folly—but true .worldly
wisdom ; though 41 believe4Sones did
•=not think of advantage to hiniself when
be'generously made the offer. He is
wortli twenty - thousand dollars more to
day than he was yesterday, in the situ:
ple advance value of his land for build
ing lots. And I know ef no man i,
EOM
this town whose good fortune affects
me with more pleasure."
Smith stole back to his home with ' a
mountain of disappointment• on his
heart. In his cupidity, he had entirely
overreached himself, and he saw that
the consequences were to react upon all
his future prosperity. The public
square at the west end. of the town
would draw improvements in that di
rection, all the while increasing the'
wealth of Mr. Jones, while lots in the
north end would remain at present,
prices, or, it might be, taken a down-1
ward range%
And so it proved. ten years, Jones'
was the richest man in the town, while
half of Smith's property had been_ sold
for taxes.' =The five acre lot passed from
his hands, under the hammer, in the
foreclosure of a mortgage for one thous
and dollars!
Thus it is that inordinate selfish;
and cupidity overreach, thernselv
while the liberal man deviseth lib,
things, and is sustained thereby:
Phoeion, when general of the A
Man army, used to' dress very meal
ways going barefooted and soling
Without his upper garment, excel t
happened to be intolerably cold ; an ,
then his soldiers used to laugh and say
" It is wsign Of a sharp winter • Phoeion

once insisted on It I s leading them
against the enemy, and when he refused,
they told him nothing could be more
dastardly and spiritless than his behav
ior. lib ansWered, " You can neither
make Ale valiant, nor can I make you
cowards ; hoWever, we know one an
other very well." Having a difference
with Iketians, which
,they refused to
settle by treaty, and proposed to decide
by the sword, Procion said : " My good
people, keep to the method in which
you have the advantage—that is, talk
ing and not lighting." Lycurgus, the'
orator, one day said -many 'disparaging
things, and among the rest observed
that when Alexander demanded ten of
their orators, (politicians,) PlnKLni
gave it as his opinion that they sholi4d
-be deliv4.ved to him. "It is true," said
Phoeion, " I have given the Athenians
Much good advice, but they do not fol
low it." Aristogiton, a public informer,
paraded with his intended valor before
the Athenians ' and pressed them to de
clare war. But when the lists came to
'be made out., this swaggerer appeared
with his arm bound up and a crutch in
his hand. Phoeion, as lie sat upon the
business, seeing him at some distance,
" Put down Aristogitpn, a crip
ple and coward !" Afterward. Aristog
ton was in prison,.when he Sent for
Phoeion to come and seehim. The lat

going, but Phoeion said : "Let use

rather wish to speak with Aristogiton

the Athenians for a supply of ships,

asked Plioeion his opinion.. " I ain
