All UNEXPECTED PRIZE. Many yenrs ago, I chnnceil to fiml my self, do tnnttcr how, wandering Uxtlc-ssly about St, James' l'.irk, LhhJod, oie ploasant afternoon, moditutlng most do apoiidingly on a gloomy prospect that was before mo. I the wilMr'.BStd and prospcrous looLirp.so fan s exttnmla itrat, but had been without cccnpaliontocie time, nnd did lint huve more than four or live shill ings lu my pockot, 'Jy ouly vnluablo posseFsion, of worldlv cla-nctcr, wasn costly wutch and clmin, thoiljing gift of iiSkfiillhj mid (bticmcd relative ; and much no tho thought of parting wilh it pained me, I mis BerinaMy contemplat ing placing it hi tho Lands of a pawn broker, UK the only meniiH of raiting tho price of n stcoud c.ibin passu go buck to Baltimore, my native city, whero I knew that warm friends would wtlcnmo me, nnd at the Rnme time opportunities be nfforded mo for a retrieval of my former ly fortuuute poition in the -.vorld. Still, I Imtnl extrimely to fly to this dernier resort, honorable enough an it net-men to be under the circcm tnuccs, nud nt litot fell iuto n moody nttitnde on a bench near one of the mnnt IttKblminble promeimdtH, where I fill to tnrning the matter over nud ovrr in my mind in the most caHSperatiug nnd riiscnuMolate way. I hnd nt there for half an hour or more pensively wntchiigthegay throngs llouiugtn and fro, ncil wUshiugat I bud n little uf the equivalent that Kcemed wusted on no tt uchnncry that was every where dif.pl.iyed lu tine ilrtwos, flashing jewelry nnd porgt mis Hiuipiiages, when n wtll-dmsed, elderly genlleiuan, u per fect slr.iiiiier to m", vtattd hiuiaelfou Ibe (,aiuo bench, nnd greeted me nith pleasant bow. I returned bis politeness iu ltind, and some remarks on the weather were in- rrhauged, when we were interrupted thn heavy striking of tho Horse Gnards'-clock, not far away. "What! five o'clock?" Bless me! tx- Iniraed the stnuiger. Marling up, "and I linvo to diun nt the MnrqnU of L'h nl seven, tvlintanall I ani I nrn n pirftct strauger in L'mdon, nnd I shall c irtninly lose myself if I attempt to reach my lodg ings uuntteuded " I suggested n publio conveyance. "No, nor said he; "I would sooner wander in Bulgaria than enter one of those filthy cabs or hackney-coaches, Sir, I perceive that you nra evidently n resident of the court end of the town. Will yon, if y.ou nre going in that direc tion, take me miner your guidance so fur as Helton stro t?" His distress seemed so uudNgnUed thitl nccrded to his request, hoping that I would at tho lime bo enabUdtn diuipnte somo of tbet disagreaabU thoughts that were oppressing me no greatly. My new acquaintance's conversation became very animated on the way. He talked feelingly of tho innocent joys of a rami life, us contrasted with the deprav ity of great towns, and especially with the enormous profligacy of London, which he termed the "combined Vanity Fair nud Moral Cess-pool of the Uni verse," if I reccolleot bis words aright. I replied sympathetically, and when we arrived at bis door he professed such an admiration for my excellent princi ples that he insisted, in such a frank and hearty manner, ou my going lu and Ink- iug a steak with him, that I finely con sented, and, la .view of my depleted finances, with greater willingness than I permitted to appear. 'The Marquis of L.," slid th old gen- tlenian, "is a very old and esteemed Iriend of mine. We were churns at Christ Church, Oxford, forty years ago. He permits me to take all sorts of liberties with him." We entered a pleasantly-faruUhed room of the house, and there, while wait ing, he told me of an opening be had lately made in valuable coal-mines on his estate in Devonshire, which had brought him nn to London; mentioned bis hav. ing exchanged a paok of fox-bouuds with the yonng Kirl of , iu some place with an unspeakable name, for a shoot. log-lodge on the Scottish moors; and asked me if I knew how tho Prince de was off for thoroughbred hnnters just at that time. Somewhat overawed by his obvious ac quaintanceship with titled notables,! was concealing my ignorance under a fit coughing manufacture! to order when waiter entered withoar steaks; and capi tal ones tbey proved. Oar dinner elided, my host pressed wine ou we, and started successively fresh topics of conversation, until I got entangled in a long debate oil geieral politic, which coat bim three bottles 'browu sherry. Live and Let Live." PA., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1881. When we had ended it, I began to per ceive what I had not observed while en engaged in argument, that I bad taken more wino than was good for me. "Come, my boy, said my host, while I was mistily rubbing my hand over my forehead, "we'll just take a drop of cog. niao to steady us, and then you shall see me to his lordship's. And with that he filled me a Urge tum bler from the decanter of brandy, No, really I" said I. "You must ex cuse me. "Nonsense, my lad nonsense 1 i' will do OU good." I was weak enough to be persuaded, and swallowed it forthwith. I had not been more thau five minutes iu the air, ou our way to Lord L's, before I felt that I was intoxicated. I, however, regulated my-motlors, nnd counter f- ited sobriety as wi II ss I conld, until we nirived nt a large entrance, with a brilliant gas-light in tho glass-work of the door, but exactly where it was situ ated I have not to this day any idea. ! This, my coropnuion raid, was Lord L's, and I was about to part with bim, wheu be protested that, after the pleas, ant evening we had spent together, he conld not think of my leaving him just yet. Ho would introduce me to his lord ship, who would be delighted to see any friend of bis. I rtluclnutlv yielded, and sUnVred my self to be lugged in, was introduced to tho noble lord, nnd was speedily seated at an elegant table, on which yet linger ed tho remains t f n dessert, together with decanters of Mine in abundance. I felt that it became mo to be on my best behavior at the board of a peer, so I drank but sparingly, that I might add ns little as possible to tho confusion already in my bead. In a shoit time the company adjourned to tho drawing-roouiB, where csrds were proposed, and the tables were speedily prepared. I at first declined playing, and occu pied myself with pretending to watoh the games. In one corner of the back room I per ceived a table, at which my new friend seemed to preside as chairmau, with sonietbiug Ihitt I imagined very much liko a rake in his hand, with which every now and then he seemed to druw heaps of coin and bank-notes toward bim. During nu interval of play, bis lord ship the marquis a very aristocratio looking character and this gentleman sauntered up to mc.and the former pleas antly challenged me to take u baud nt whist with with bim, fur the purpose of promoting a better acquaintance This I could not very well decline, but seized an opportunity to mention private ly, not to bli lordship, but to the new fri-.nd that had introduced me to the dis tinguished company, that I had unfor tunately coino out without providing my self with money. "Pray, what lime is it?" lie naked, 11 iug urbanely, nud I drew out the oostly legacy of my lamented relative to auswer hiin from, "That's a handsome watch," said he, "Pray let mo examine it" I did so; whereupon he opened it, nud iunpecteil its works nud cases with the eiyeofn connoisseur. It citrtainly wui a very beautiful watch, nud Olio Unit the dnueir, u cll'-ctor of raro anil valuable things, had set great value upon. It was nu old-fashioned chronometer, massive lust, rial. and richly studded with diamnreht such n one as few Americans ato foolish enough to wear nnd, togeth er with the fob-chain, could uot have becu worth less than n hundred and filty guineas in those days. "Beautiful, beautiful'' said the gentle man as he rtlnrnrd it to me. "But I beg pardon, you say you hnve no money. How very unfortunate! for I am iu just the same sort of predicament myself. You see, we lea my place in such a hur ry. But," he added, "the game is about to begin; it only waits for you. I should not like yon to mention to his lordship that yon are without cash, but I can sug gest a way out of tho dilemma. I know his lordship's steward, a rich old rascal, and one who has had some pretty pick lugs in my lord's service. I can assure you. I have no doubt that to oblige me he will let you have what you require, Yon can, just for form's sake, leave your watch nnd chaiu with him (just to let him know its no particular obligation, that's all) till I can Bend one of the ser vants to my lodgings for money." With these words on his lips, he began piloting me to a small room on the ground floor, whero we found the stew ard, who, to oblige his lor Iship's partic ular friend, lent me filly pounds, while placed as security in his hands th wutch and chaiu, which in my sober senses I would hardly have parted with, even to ward off starvation, lleturuing to the drawing room, the Marquis gaily called on me to take my seat, which I did. Tho cards were dealt again and again, and I was very speedily minus about furty.fi ve out of my fifty pounds. Indeed, foolish, beaten and confused I was on the point of losing the remaining five, when a inau suddenly rushed into the room, and vociferated something which set host and guests iu a tumult of dismay. The lights were extinguished as if by magic, nud thero was a general rash, in which I joined, thinking tho house was on fire. "Catch hold, Tom, somebody said, I was hurrying past near where the table stood at which I had seen my frleud with of the ruke, and a heavy bag was thrust in my arms. "Quick! this way Tom," raid somebody else, seizing hold of my arm, and pulling roe in the darkness down a very narrow and steep staircase, and until I knew I had reached Kome subterranean 'passage, from the damp, earthly emi-11 around me. "fiomo on hurry!" orie4 my unknown the of fid almost Invisible guide. "By Jupi. 51.00 a If ter they're oa our heels. Every man for hlmseltl" And off he shot, speeding away into the darkness. At the same time I stumbled over something, and plunged violently against a damp vi all. There I stood for a min ute or two, vainly trying to recollect my fugitive' Bcuses. I wnsn't hurt much though, and I was about to push forward again at hap-haz- aril, when something sparkling on the ground through tho durkness attracted my attention. Stooping to pick it up, judge of my astonishment to find that it was my owu watch and chain, which had no doubt been accidently dropped there by hi-" lordship's atcomaiodntiug steward iu his flight. I was not so intoxicated but that I was right glad to get the precious things in my possession again, I cau tell you. Hastily thrusting them into the bottom of one of my pockets, I Bet out again on ny dark and blundering journey. "But what is this I'm carrying in my arms?" I suddenly said, tu myself, for the first time struggling sufficiently out of my confusion and iuebrity to.be fully awaro that I was burdened with tho bag that bad been thrust upon me in th room above. "It feels like money, and a good load of it iuto the bargain. But bow did I come by it, and where am I wandering to?" In fact I was still so bewildered that I begt.n actually to doubt if I was my.se If, wheu, hearing a racket iu tho rear, and thiuking tho bouse was falling in over my bead I thrust the bag under my coat, supporting it with my arm, aud, rushing forward as fast as my legs could carry me, I found myself presently iuthe open air; but exactly where, in particular, I havo never to this elay been able to di vine. However, after various wanderings, occupying an hour or two, I came in sight of the equestrian statue ut Charing CrcsD, aud in less than another hour, suc ceeded in reaching my lodgings, consid erably sobered. At you may well conceive, I lost no time in striking a light, and examining the contents of the bag at my leisure. To my astonishment nnd delight, they amounted to upwards of four hundred aud eighty pounds, iu solid gold coin and Bank of England notes. Then, on in,peoting my watch, I found ithadonly sustained a few slight brnisos, besides the loss of the crystal, tho chain, which was elso of delicate workmanship, hav ing sustained no damage whatever. Then, npon cooly meditating upon my night's adventure, I. gradually oaine to the reasonable conclusion tbatiny ftieud was a sharper that the Marquis of L's was nothing more or less thau a London gambling house, aud that his lordship nud bis illustrious company bad beeu subjected to a raid ou the part of the police. I freely confess that I was altogether undeserving of the good luck that fell to me through that night's escapade, It proved me to be "a fool for luck," just ones in my life, at all cVont3. I next day caused inquiries to be made ut the housv where I had dined in Beltou street, fur the person who had beeu my lioit there; butleinly learned that ho had becu u transient lodger, of whom tbey knew nothing, and that ho had left there early that morning. I determined to be conscientious and thorough in all inquiries, before appro priating to my own use the lucky wind fall, of which I was, nevertheless, in such bitter need. I Inquired at the polico offices, nnd of the various parish authorities at West End, if officers bad been dispatched on the preceding night to breakup any gam bling bouses; and, as tbey all assured me that none bad been sent, I came to the conclusion that the distinguished marquis and his brilliant confreres had been mado the victims of a false alarm. I next advertised the affilr, iu terms sufficiently ambiguous to bo understood by ionie of those directly concerned, de siring nny having n claim to money con tained in the bag to apply at my lodgings in Canon street; but I received no appli cations whattver. I presumed tho advertisement was look ed upon as n rnso, nnd only suggested visions of traps and attorneys, and prose cutions, to the guilty minds of those con cerned. As for the locality of the gam bling-hons itself I bad uot the slightest no'ion of that at the time of my visit,nnd to have undertaken its discovery by chnnco in the wilderness of London, would have been like searching for the proverbial needle in n haystack. After waitiug a reasonable time, I ap plied the money to my owu purpnsrs.nud returned to Baltimore in such high feath er as to astonish my friends and acquaint ances. They hnd heard, with regtel. of my having met with business, reverses in London, and were altogether at a loss to account for appearances that were) so much to the contrary.
