THE TAILOR CREDITOR.
RY tdßs. GORE.
( Conflated.)
Among the ancountsdischargrd with Interest on the
attainment of my majority, Was one of Cox VI. Thea
which for length, if shred into tailor's measures, would
have "put a girdle round a'aut the earth," or the waist
of Daniel Lambent—the amount of the stamp for the
receipt in full would now afford me a week's board
and lodging! Jonas Cox was, accordingly, one of
those who waited longest afterwards before he re
quested the favor of my autogrupby; and It was through
the importupities of the family tailor to my uncle that
my signutere fur once held good, to be consigned to
dishonor for evernitive z.
Bet on the Christmeksnsuing, Jonasenw fit to de
flect his bill as he had'foly delivered his suits—at
the shortest notice,--ay. and to deliver it with vexa
tions intenition. Lest I should mistake his meaning,
the second and third reading of the bill expressed on
ly "to bill delivered".---cull and deliver being the
watchword of ends thieves of creditors, as stand and
deliver used to be of the footpads of more 'heroic
times.
At length, to this single line of argument were ap
pended belle dozen more, requesting my immediate
attention to the samel receiving no answer to which,
Jonas probably concluded like the belle of a country
town concertsingsorno militia captain, that my "atuen
tions meant nothing." His next missive announced a
visit from his clerk, who called, and called again; and
I, though " not at borne" to his mills, of course forgot
to return the visit.
Then came a letter, of orthography so much more
irnpeachuble than the preceding ones, that it was
plain diet the old goose bad taken quill in hand to de
fend his own cause; fur he assured me "it would net
suit him to wuit any longer," Next followed a law
yer's letter!
Before it reached my lodgings, I was hundreds of
miles away; gathering tip a small inheritance from a
maiden aunt, enabling me to 'edify Cox Vlarya large
instalment, which, for nearly a year ensuing, relieved
me from the further mention of his name. Lag
Christmas, however nrrived, in the well-known clerk
ly hand- eriting. "To balance of accounts.," with
the superaddition of the cost of a suit of nephew's
mourning, which still constitutes .the suit of rusty
black of my quotidian wear.
Mr. Jonas Cox, it appeared, had retired from busi
ness. His riches had been increasing in the same pro
portion as my poverty I and he was now the proprie
tor of a charming little villa, Number 3, Elysium Road,
Maida Hill. Unluckily for me, in arranging his dis
solution of pannerehip with his son, Cox VII., what
were insolently called the bed debts of the firm, fell
to the share of the old man I among the rest, mine!--
To collect these outstanding claims, seemed to-have
become the recreation of his leisure. ft was a pas
time to him, after counting the numberof sprigs on his
Michaelmas Daisiet in Elysium Row, and listening all
the morning to the toll of the adjacent burying-ground,
to take the omnibus to town, and hunt up in their tran
quil retreats, the thirty-seven unfortunate wretches
whose names still figured in his schedule. They were
his game—his bagged foxes---the sports of his new
gentility—the memento of his former occupation.--
For Cox VII. had a touch of Philip the Second in
him, and did not care to have the atelitated emperor
resume his sceptre in Poland Street, i. e. his scissors.
Repulsed, therefore, in Iris old worksbip
Without the power to fill again
The desert gap thutcneses his pule,
by the concoction of new measures, or the Latching a.
nother goose, Jonas could only become the ninth part
of a man again, by the perusal and relies ustd of those
accursed old bills; and not only "waiting" for them,
but waiting with them upon his debtors.
I have reason to think I was peculiarly favored. As
I have said before, my lodgings were high,—high as
his demands.; anal by the time the out man had panted
his way up to my door, Christian charity demanded
that I should offer him a chair for the. recovery of his
breath, pending the recovery of his money. After due
dhaatsaion of the "to pay or not to pay" part of my
abilities, ho was atout to enter into that of their liter
ary value; first, talking of his own books, secondly, of
mine. lie had known me since I was breeched; and
was privileg. d.
The privilege, I conclude, *as appreciated; for in
stead of Christmas remaining the exclusive period for
auditoriul persecution, his visits beset meal! the year
round. The finest day in June was not secure against
. the intrusions of Jonas Cox,. Presuming on the in
dulgence ho had shown me, it became an understood
thing between us that, though steeped to tl.e lips in
poverty and printer's ink, I was never to be denied to
the retired tailor. Ile had acquired one hundred and
twenty-seven pounds' worth of right to come and sit in
the sunshine of my spirit, converting it into careful
ness and gloom. He loved to talk to me of my pa
rents and their troubles, and how little they had ever
expected their only son would come to live in a gar
ret scribbling for bread. And then ho would take out
his silver snuff-box, or wipe his enctuous brows with a
mutely bandana, as be added that "my uncle was get
ting stricken in years; but he feared I should be never
better for his death, his fortune being notoriously di
vided between public charities and the charity that
begun at home in the person of his robust housekeep
er."
I bore it all. Though arsenic is ditt cheap, and
prussic arid fur from ruinous, and Jonas Cox would
have gratefully accepted any refreshment I saw fit to
offer him, whether liquid or substantial, I refrained. I
I looked upon the old wretch as a species of material
ized conscience—and embodied remorse—a monitor
or tormenter entailed upon me by my expensive habits!
At length, one autumn morning, when, soon after
his arrival in my peer chamber, "drizziy rain dii fall,"
rendering it impossible for him to regain his omnibus
without beiog soaked to his unmacintosheti skin, I saw
that my day was sacrificed, and with a brilliant article,
which had been spiriting forth from My pen at the mo
ment of his arrival, and which his doleful family allu
sions checked in a moment. Transpierced by the ace
punctuation of the tailor's needle, my balloon had fal
len from the clouds "To me lo papicrai!" muttered
I—(as the tailor had often probably muttered to him
self touching his bill, as be ascended my creaking
stairs!)—"You shall furnish me with a new original
article." Why not amuse the public with what I find
so little amusing—" Accounts of My Creditors!" It
is only to transcribe from this caitiff', own lips one or
two of the anecdotes of my thi:ty-six brother martyrs,
with which he is in the habit of favoring me, to create a
few of those episodes of daily life, which possess the
wholesomeness and nutrition cf daily bread. Wby sail
to America in search of the humorous and burlesque"
Why ransack Europe, Alia, and Africa, for the means
of "piling up the agony" high enough) Why taa the
violation of every law of the decalugue as a source of
emotion, the matter-ef.fact narratives of a low minded
fellow like Jonas Cox contain all, the elernenti of ha
man passion! lam perhaps investigating his some;
with the coloring of my own imagination. But I re
member I had sometimes a hard matter to gulp down
my tears while he narrated such stories as the follovr
ing.
