THE- DIAMOND BING. A STOUT OF LONDON LIFE Few Of the habitual dWellers 'in Loudon have occasion to visit the city less frequently than% hare.. I have never set foot inside the mansion of the of Threadneedle Street in my life: To me' the Stock Ex change is a complete terra incognita. Of the thousand and one., different methods of coining meney,'as prac ticed by merchants, bankers, brokers, and that countless army which flocks citYward every 'week-day morning from nine till eleven, I- know -abso lutely nothing.• Neither, to the best of My . belief; has the " Monefarticle of the Time: , ever been read by me fro* beginning to end: - Yet,'not 7 Withstaning all this, it has so hap- Ined that on certain rare occasions have been compelled, by " urgent private affairs," to join the throng of city bees foy a few hours and wing my:wav etiVtward with the swarm. At such tildes Ihave generally cho sen to,survey mankind from the box seat of an omnibus, as from a " coigne of Vantage " not to be surpassed and hardly equalled for any one who loves lo,watch the wonderful, ever-shifting i panorama of London life.' On one such occasion—now sever al years ago—the morning was solin tolerably rainy that I was obliged to bite up all' thought of my ifa,VoOte perch aloft with the driver, and c'on7 tent myself with ,the humbler posi tion'of An inside seat. At that time I was only three-and-twenty- years old, and had been in London about a couple of years, having been sent up frouility.far-off home in One of . the northern counties, to attend the • classes of and to study under a cer tain then famous analytical --cheiiiiit. On the morning to which I have just • referred, after waiting twenty minutes iu the rain, I - was - glad to find - a va can t place inside one of the num:Tons city busses that passed ,` the tad of the street in which my room is situ ated. After having - squeezed , into my place, and been well - scowled - at for my.pains, I proceeded to take stock of my companions in misery. We were eleven men and one woman. All of us ,- men wefe more or less moist, and each Of • us ; had a very 'damp umbrella. We had all put • on our severe business air, and„we were all more or les's suspicions of - the coin pany in which we found ourselves; and 7 —in consequence, perhaps, of the bad state of the weather—we were all more than usually inclined to bul ly the.conductor, and to poke him vi ciousty in the ribs with the ferules of our umbrellas. But the twelfth inside? Well, she was a lady, - young and nice-looking into the-bargain, and enveloped with the xrettiest air of unconsciousness that shelves in the company of elev en blocks of wood, rather than in that of as many beings of flesh arid blood,' not' quite unsusceptible, let us hope,' to the charms of female loveli ness. I have no doubt,, in my own mind, that if , She had. traveled ,any length of time in our company the mere fact of her presence would have softened our manners, and have wean ed us in some-- -measure from the touch-ine-not boorishness with which as a rule, all passengers by omnibus have to cloak themselves. Bat fo innately, as the ease may lie, jour neys by omnibus are of short dyra tion, and our young lady asked to be 'sot down at Cheapside. Previously to this, however, we had stopped some half dozen times to let down -and take up other paliesagerif, of ET .1. 0. HOLLAID Egli rr rnizaz cant. TOWANDA, 'BRADFORD JANUARY ;5,1871. them of the mescaline gender t io that I. was T ing to look upon 'myself in the f an old acquaintiusoe, when our young lady got up to leave us. I was sitting n e xt the door, as she alighted, and - I could not help noticing hOw pale she - seemed all at" once to have become. Without heed- ing the rain that -still kept falling, she began to feel for her purse in a trembling, nervous sort td way, first in one of her pockets and then in an r. "r have either 'kit_ my, purse, or else my pocket has been - picked," she" said at last, with' s' sort of gasp. The conductor expressed no sur prise, but merely put a fresh straw in his mouth, and then asked us "_gents" to move 'while he Icxiked for the purse, which, if young ladies was bus con ductors," he murmired, softly to him self, " they would learn to take bet ter care of their money." ' But the purse was not:10 be found. "If it really ain't anywhere - about you, miss, - said the conductor, as ho emerged 'from among theistraw, "then your pocket has been picked. How much was there in It - "Halt a sovereign and five-and sixtence 'in silver,' answered the, Young lady, with tears trembling on her eyelids. " But that was not all. It also contained a valuable diamond ring, the property of the lady with FThom I am living, and which I was _taking to a jeweler's, not far from here, to be repaired." The conductor turned an eye of compassion on her. " I'm blow ed !" he muttered, "to think of any- body in their senses being so green." Then, turning quickly on the remain ing insides, he scanned us over one by one, ending with a solemn shako of the head. " Can do nothing for you, miss,!' he said. " You had bet ter go to the police. and give them a description of your property. I knows most of me morning passen gers for respectable city gents; but there was one fishy-looking cove— him as got in- at Edgeware roud, and sat next tcv you, miss, all the.

' And the conductor wink- ed at me portentously, to signify that his list remark was meant for " sar kasuin." Bat I have not even money left to pay my farelvritlr," urged the young lady. • Half-a-dozen purses were out a once, such was the infbunee of beau ty in distreaa. "Never mind the fare; miss," an. swered the conductor, affably, as he mounted to his' perch. " A tanner won't either break the company or make its fortune. You go. to the po lice,—that's what you have got to do. All right, Joey; go ahead." -The 'buirilrove away, leaving the young lady standing on the curb. She put down her :veil to hide. her wet eyes, and was turning sadly away, when our conductor leaped zunibly down, ran back to her side, said a few words, and was back on ills perch again in less than two minutes.- " Thought it heat to give the poor young creetur niy number," he re marked, confidentially, to me, " and the address of our seeretary, in case of anything turning pp. , But that ain't likely, you 'know, sir. Ah ! it was that fishy-looking coVe, you may, depend upon it." • I Was detainedju the city till five , o'clock. At that hour I set off west ward.. with the intention of walking' home. The rain had ceased hours ago, and a r fresh, crisp breeze was now blowing; over the murky city roofs tfie moon was rising iu- an un clouded sky, and all the shops were re , laze with light. My rooms were in a street leading out of Oxfortk Street; but as I had one or two calls to make, I chose, this evening, to go round. by way of the Strand and Cha ring Cross.• My - calls all made I turned up St. Martin's Lane, as my nearest way homeand was :walkine carelessly along tliat classic thorough": fare, when ,whom shOuhl I See a lit-' tie way in front of- me, staring intent. ly into the window of a jeweler's shop,. but the " fishy-looking cove " of my friend the conductor. I recognized him in a moment, having taken par ticular notice of him while he was my fellow-passenger in the morning. Not that there was anything either in hip appearance or manner that made me suspicious of his honesty, but that he offered such a marked contrast to the respectable-looling city men who made 'up' the rest - of the passengers. He was a thin, frowsy; disreputable looking man, dressed in a suit of rus ty black, with a hat:. and boots that had been carefully " doctored," and' might still do some fair-weather ser vice,-butichich were ill calculated to stand the brunt of a rainy day. - His' mouth was that of an habitual dra m, drinker. His eyes were weak and Wa tery. and his high- a bridged, aquiline nose had an inflamed look about it suggestive of many a deep - potation. His chin had evidently not felt a ra zor for several days; and the minute fragnients of straw and chaff which citing to his dress, and were mired up with his unkempt hair, hinted at the style of accommodation to Which he had been reduced during the pre, ceding night. Yet, with all this, the, fellow earned a jaunty little cane, - which ke swung to and fro as though he had not a care in the world. . And he had on a pair of dogskin gloves, that would have looked stylish if they had not been so very dirty. • But was it he who took the young lady's purse? That was the ques tion; and the eltenerl looked at the man, the moreiinclined I felt to en dorse the.opinion of the 'busnondue tor. A brown morocco purse,. con taining fifteen and sixpence in and a lady's diamond ring of the value of fifty guineas, was not a bad morn ing's work for a gentleman in reduc ed circumstances: In such ease, however, all the surmising in the world 'was of no avail. No ono' had seen Lint take the purse, and so long as he kept his own counsel he was safe from detection. '1 he grand point was to ascertain whether he really bad the ring or a pawnbroker's du plicate for it about his person. But how to do thiS? This was the problem that I kept turning over and over in my mind as as imrusaLmof nal( ,QUA3II2. I cautiously. iollpied ( up , *Write' lied on his way - the jewekes shop. • Jlt; the - tap the .

"1 begyour pardon," I said, but did you drop this pencil-ciaejust now?" Ha started asi touched him, and fur a few fietxmds he seemed as if he could not take in the meaning of my question. Whether he recognized me as one of the, passengers by the morning's 'bus I could not determine. We had halted opposite a large shop, and the light from the window shone full on my silver pentlease, on which at length; when he was apparently satisfied with the scrutiny of my face, his glance was fastened greedily. " Picked it up, did you sad.?" he adell as he began to tambleoirith his thtuld) and finger in his iiiistcoat pocket. . , j " Just behind,you," I answered. " But if it's not"-ours I shan't bother ally more about it, but pocket it my self.' " But it's mine," he put in, ea4er ly. " How stupid._ in me to lose it !" I put the pencil-ease in his hand without hesitation. ; - " I am really much obliged to you," he went on, "for your kindness in securing it. As you grow older, young gentleman, you will find that honesty is the exception in this world, and not the rule." • I " Well, I On - glad to have found he owner i l--,1 said, with a laugh. "Yon seeiii to value The case," "I driAlthie it, young gentleman, g th " &asp-ere old hyliocrite;..“ less, perl)aps; from its intrinsic worth' than froth the fact that it is the sold relic no4r left me of a very dear friend.

Half a go of braudyk" he said, ill a - horrified Wue young 'man, I'm. very much atraid—" I had taken out my watch, a valu able gold levei. and as his eyeetl on it his intended remonstrance came to an abrupt conclusion. I Well—ah—yes, y ou arc quite right," he resumed, "and I shall be very happy to treat you .to a go df brandy. To what place shall we ad . ourn 9" "To the nearest house, please. I want to go home to dinner." So we went into the nearest tav ern,where Lay new acquaintance or dered a glass of brandy for me Lula a glass of stout for himself.

I I could see the old scamp's' eyes brighten as lie drank' in my words eagerly.

I am just now—why attempt to de ny it ?—in some measure under a.' cloud, my fortunes, I am proud to l say, have not always been at their present low ebb. .my wife—she is dead now, poor creature!—at one time kept he brougham' and pair; and I had my hack for the park and a hunter down to Melton. But those days are 'gone; never to return. (Drink up, sir, and let us have an other glass.) I was ruined ,in the year of the great panic. All the more, then,am I iitted,after passing through such a bitter csperienc*, to fill the part of a' judicious mentor to. inex parienced youth with capital at its back. Sir, my humble services are yours to command." " Welt" I said with a: dubious air, " it is just possible to you might be able to put me up tO`a useful wrinkle or two. But, in any case, thisis not the spot to discuss such matters. Come and have a bit of dinner with me at my rooms, and, we can talk things over afterwards, with the as sistance of a pipe and tumbler." " A bit of dinner, a pipe and a tum bler. Ha, ha! I will, attend to you, my young 'friend, with „the utmost satisfaction." ' ' , • I hailed the first cab 'I could find, and we rattled off Ito my lodgings. No, conversation took place while we were going over the stones, but iu imagination I saw before me a cer tain sweet, tearful face, and. I felt more determined than ever to go through with the' scheme, wild and preposterous as it might have seem ed at another time, which had flash ed emu my brain while I was fol ElEi •• lowing my the rascal by idde - up St: Martin's lane.- • Having instxtuited to put down enOther, cutlet, and to send out for one or t*b extras, we ascend ed to mY rooms: , ".In"the hope, my dear air, that our friendship may be a long and . Abu iahing one,"said mynnwelcoste guest, "allow me, as a needful sprelielitievy, to preient you with my card." He handed me, as he . spoke, a very limp and rather dirty piece of paste board, which he had i settio difficulty in finding among his multifarious pockets, and on which was inscribed the name of Mr. Reginald= Tracy." Otcourse I could do no less than re turn the complimenL • Dinner was served a few minutes later, and while it Was in progress the conversation of Mr. Tracy and myself was of the most intermittent cluiracter. I gathered enough, how ever, to enable , me to discover that he was a man of some education, and must at one time have mixed in su perior society. By the exercise of what knavish arts he had contrived to forfeit . the position he once held, I couldinot, of, course, tell; therein, no doubt s lay the great secret 'lbis life. Poor wretch! it was easy to see, from the style in Which he got through his food, that a plentiful and wholesome Meal was *hat he tad not itartaken of for some time; At length he laid back in his chair in a state of happy repletion.

Brit Providence tempers the wind to the shorn lamb !, And new for the pipe and tumbler. He, ha! I have not forgotten." As soon as we were fairly under way With our first tumbler, lir. Tra cy broke pround on the subject that was evidently uppermost in his thoughts. " If, sir," he said, -" you would favor me with a hint as to the special class of infestment in which you are desirous of playing out your capital, and woilld - also furnish me with some positive data to work up on„l could give yott the benefit id my experience in that particular line of procedure which jour inclinatione may lead you to prefer." " Capital three thousand; line of investment not decided on," I - said. " Something light and genteel would be preferred." z " Sechas- iinporter of wines and spirits, for instance?" said Mr. Tracy. " That would do capitally, I dare say, only I happen ,to know nothing in-the world about it." " Young wan, " Quite unnecessary, my dear sir, that you should. Only fi nd the mo ney,and" will engage to find the brrans,'and to make yoar fortune in to the barg ain . ". Mr. Tracy sighed deeply, took a long pull at -his tdmbler, aild4hen proceeded to enlighten my ignorance as to the various Methods by which extraordinary profits might be real ized! without -the !slighteSt risk , of failare, by any one who, combining' capital with brains; !night choose to appear before the vithrla as an inzpor ter of wines and spirits.

"...Theft you have never tasted 'any Of those delicious drinks which, un der various -. strange names, - are so poptilat lunOlag tho Xankees?" ` , -Once more a negative must be my 'answer.

" We can come back to it again, if the other does not prove to our lik ing," I said. "And not be flouted for our in consistency," added Mr. Traci, a all a laugh r So now for this 'Yankee nectar of yours. I grow thirsty by anticipation.' •. Two Two large tumbler's and the vari ous ingredients required for. the pur pose , :were quickly put together. Last of ail I went into my study, and after staving there about a' couple of minutes, I went , back, carrying with me a , packet containing half-a-ilozen powders, done, up in differently- ,colored papers. -The degree of 0194-l -edge I had laid claim to as a con coctor of American drinks was by no means fictitious; -and I now- proceed.; ed to mix one after the most approv ed -fashion, and ended by , opening one of the colored papas and pour: ing, the - contents of it into, the tura:. bier, and then offered the whole to Tracy. But the putting in of the powder had evidently roused' his suspicions, and: with a polite wave of the hand, he refused the proffered tumbler. "After you, My dear sir," he said. "I really must insist'on your imbib ing the first tumbler' Yourself. Th. second will do excellently well. for inc."_ . . "As you - please," I said, with a shrug. With that. I proceeded to drain the first' tumbler, expressing by pantomime, as I.did so, my appre ciation of its excellence. Alter this, I mixed a second tumblerful, into which, as before, I poured the con tents.of one of the colored papers, and then -handed the whole to Tracy. Ilia lips having ones touched *the =I ruck there;*in emPty g . it. He : 've a sigh Of intense sittisfac-, i tionna l Lput doWathelglass °Am brosa , by Jupiter'!" he exclaimed.

When all the. other ingreslients,were . properly combined, I opened - one of the packets as fore, and shodk the contents into , tumbler, and then having well stirred the/ whole; I handed the glass 'to Tracy. But the powder in this case possessed properties very different from that of the innocent alkali of which I had made use previously. -As before, Tracy's lips seemed glued to the tumbler Lill ,be had drained the contents to the list drop. "How does that suit yorir taiite?" I said. "Is it equal to the first?" • " Such a question is hard to an= :seer," he replied. '" The beauties'of both are .o e'renly balanced that Bacchus himself would find it diffi-. .cult to decide between the two: 2, I hay° to thank . you, uly dear 'young Mend, for having opened- up a new vista of pleasure undreamed of by me before." // • - - , I must give .you one or two of my recipes, and then you can mii-,for yourself.

Tracy, after glancing down reproach fully.. at his pipe, took uo further heed of it, but p la nting both his el bows firmly on the table, and, taking fast hold 'of .his head bettvein his hands, lie tried his utmost to bring his weak, wavering gaze' to bear on my manipulating lingeril.
