The First 'and lasi' Dinner.
• TALE. OF:LIFin, ' .
Twelve friends, much abou tthe same
age, and fixed by their . .'phrsnits - , their
family. connexione and ether loCal inter
rests.** permanent inhabitants of the
metropolis, agreed ;one.day when they.
were 'drinking their :wine
. at the. Star
and 'Garter,: at itichmonci . , to institute
animal dinner - antung themSelveS,
under the folloWing regulations: That
they-"should dine alternately at each otlt•
ers' houses on the.first and and last day
of each year ; and. that the first bottle
of wine uncorked at the -first - dinner
should be recorked and put away to be
' drank 6 . y him who should be the last.of
their number; that they should never.
admit a new member;: that when one
died eleven should meet, and when an.,
other died; teri should meet, and 'so On,
and when only one remained, he shi3uld, r
on tlhise two days, dine by himself, and
sit the . uslial hours at his solitary table;
but the first time - he so dined alone, lest
itshotild be thdonly'one,-he should then
uncork the first bottle; and in . the 'first
glass drink to the memory
~of all who
were gone.
) There cvai. - something original and
whimsical in 'die idea, and it was eager
ly embraced. . They were all in-.the
prime of life, closely attached by recip
rocal friendship, fond of social enjoy
ments, and looked forward to. their fu
ture meetings With unalloyed anticipa
ticins of pleasure. The 'only thought,
indeed, that could have darkened those
-anticipations, was not one very likely
to intrude itself at this moment—that of
- the hopeless- wight who was .destined
to Uncork the first bottle at his lonely
repast. . _
It'was high summer wlien.this'frolic
compact was entered into : and as their
pleasure yacht skimnied along the dark
bosom of the Thames, on theirreturo
to London, they talked of nothing but
their first and last feasts• of ensuing
years. Their , imaginations ran riot
with la thousand gay predictions of fes
tive i merriment. They wandered in
conjecture df what changes time would
operate; jolied , each other upon•• : their:
appearance . when they shouid•
some hobbling 'upOn•crutches after a'
severe tit of the gout : lithers Npoking
about' with pur-blind eyes. which even
spectaelea• could hardly. enable to
tinguiSh the alderman's walk. or a
haunch of venison—some with portly
round'.hellies and tidylittle btow.n Wigs,
and Othors decently dressed out in a
suit of mourning, • for'the .death of a
great-grand-daughter or great-grand
son •
"!:As 'fin you .; ,G i eorte,'' exclaimed

ThOy all agreed, at parting, however,
that they
. hadr never passed such a hap

instituting 'so delightful a meeting,: and
promised to be punctual to their ap
pointment the ensuing evening', when
they were to 'celebrate the 'new year,
whose entrance they had welcomed in
bumpers. of good claret, as •the watch

.
. They met accordingly, and their
gaiety was without any alloy or draw-'
back.
..It was only- . .the first. time of

. Mont Blanc has never-been ~,so- e ttsy
of ascent-within the memory if man as
during•the present Seaypti. The most
daneerode and difficult crevasses have
remained: filled.by compact sriow, aml
the perwridieular 'walls, .which, it is
necessary to ascend have been'also cov
ered by the 'same 'material - into -.Which
steps copld!:.4 easily cut: .17cier

ing the ascent; Each gentleMaif at=
tended by,five gthdeS, each of whom
receives a hundred fritics, acting iri, ace,
triple capacityof guides to. show the
route ; of friends to assist hith in diffi,
cult passes, and of
~ p orters to' `carry
provisions , and.blankets. - ° 'On the list -
of these expeditions e: variation from
the usual 'ethirse was ; adopted . ; with
int# advattage. .- The party started
in the nithning (at first attending miss,
as is ristkl itl-)atholid countries before
encountering any, great danger)'thid
ter mounting all day, instead of sleeping
as , usual, at the. Grand'lkfulet, . (aiittle
_rocky spot bare of: snow) they rested
at the Petit ilfulet,only. from 7 to.l.Ljn
the evening, and
. then resuming their
ascent by .moonlight,, succeeded in
reaching the top- by sunrise. They
were' accompanied by a little dog, who
-with them pvercame every difficulty,
even the .: steps cut by axes in the per r
penclicular walls of ice, and was at, the
top, the filsl - of the party; 'but no soon
er did they begin 'to descend' than he
rushed down as: if mad,: reaching the
-village two' •hours before them, , with
one frezenfoot, and' could never , again
be enticed to go near the
.mountain.
The, ascent attempted: by ISeargant,
'flatland, the distinguished author of
" lon,"-narrowly. escaped-a fatal result.
He was accompanied by a, son . of only
.sixteen years, anti when halfway up.
the boy became completely ,exhanited
by the fatigue ' , lying asif dead, scarce
ly- breathing, and it was with great Air
ficulty, that..the:terrified father could-re
store,,L him .agatti to consciousness.--
