WO are not about to enter into a question of ju risprudence; nor do we propoo,to discuss the mer its of that much disputed point—lmprisonment for Debt. But, as haVing some bearing on the sub sequent narrative, we cannot but remark, that it forms a very serious objection to such a mode of punishment—that whilst the bad man; the prac tiexiilJogueLthe systematically dishonest—either avoids 'it, or, Who suffers, feels it not—the good man—whose only criminality is misfortune— whose only disgrace, poverty; upon him it falls,' with all its tremendous force. Surely it must be a heart-breaking thing, first to bear "The stings and arrows of outrageous Fortune ;" and then the castigation ofJustice; to bdshut out IVom sOciety—to be shut in with rogues. If . the Inflictions of those laws be for retaliation only, they aro bad—if for "the terror of evil doors," they are futile—if for correction, worse than useless: for 'certain it is, more good hearts have boon bro ken within the walls of a debtor's prison, than bad ones amended. But, to our Tale. The firm of Melbourne and Son was for many years one of the most respectable in the mercan tile city of —, and it well merited the credit it possessed. A clear head and honest heart made the elder Melbourne a fit associate for tho unsus picious and warmhearted Henry Melbourne, his only son. "I do not wish to mako you sly and die. trustful, Henry," said his father on one occasion, when his generous and confiding dispositiowhad beonimpotied — trpow - brit — de -- elgfiliiwinan—"bilti would make you wary and cautions. I would not have you expect'ito tread upon a snake at every step--that would make 'you miserable; yet my son, you must not .forget, there are snakes—this will make you prudent." Henry forgot not the advice of his parent, nor did he under value it; but his feelings would, nev. ertheless, 'sometithes run away with his judg_t_. went •,- the- honest •principle- which- dwelt-within his own bosom led him to"expect the same in oth ers; and ho was often deceived. - • The first dark cloud which gathered ever the r unes enr • Iffetticurrte - , was the death of his beloved. parent—his first best friend.

His at - sections were torn from that object t iound which they bad twined with all the •relying fondness of filial love. It was in this gloomy state of adversity, when earth seemed to have lost its,greatestcharm, that Henry: Xel,Onurne was introduced to the family of - the .

Two years had passed away, during which, they for themselves had proved the fallacy of the idea, that Love must take its flight at the sight of human , ties, andio 'llteloy of wife and husband, that of parent had been added, when a - tempest of trou bles which had long been gathering over their un conscious heads, broke suddenly, and in all its fir.' ry, upori them: Some time after the death of his father, whose assistance in the businetts . ofthe firm, was missed by Henry as much as his friendship.and society, he found it necessary to associate himself in part nership with a person who had long.been on terms of intimacy with the familY... Mr. Horton, for such was his partner's name, presented an appear. ance ofthe greatest candour and integrity, in hie demeanour, conversation, and ccriduct, and Henry was led to piaci) the most implicit confident:to in his management of the affairs of the firm. The unsuspicious • character of Henry Mel bourne, might have been imposed upon by less specious appearances than his partner presented --.foslie_ WO; in reality a most iierfect and aeon ; plished villian. He had for many years been a professed gamester; ono of the most desperate and daring character—yet, had so skilfully and successfully thrown the cloak of hypocrisy over his proceedings, that no ono even suspected him of the practice. Sipco the time when he had connected himself with Henry Melbourne, ho`had what istechnical ly termed, "a run of ill luck." ,To support his credit, ho had, unknown to his partner, and in a way which bid defiance to detection, till ruin had resultod,•involvod the firm in debts to an immense amount. At.the timo when the crisis came, and conceal. meet was no longer possible, Henry Melbourne was accompanying the beloved of his heart and home, with their mutually adored idol, on a short tour, which the state of Mrs. Melbourne's health rendered necessary. Tho . messenger of bad tidings found Henry Melbourne and his family at an hotel , in the vicin. ity, of the romantic town of —, where they had proposed to remain a few days. They had just: returned flora an evening ramble, in which they had enjoyed that most splendid of earthly spectacles-4110 setting of the sun, seen over a wide ,expanse of waters, and were taking their _evening—repast,-when-a-letter -was-placed on the table ,by the servant of the hotel—it declared' the firm of Melbotfrrie and Horton insolvent; his vil lainous• partner had escaped, and was no where to be found. In addition to the respopsibilities in which he had involved their own house, far beyond what they were able to meet, he had committed a forgery, on a firm of the same city, and that to a largo amount. There was reason to suppose, there fore, that ho had fled the country, and had left his guiltless partner to bear the whole weight of the responsibility. " The effect of the letter on the walked Henry Melbourne, was too violent, and sudden to permit concealment from her who must be the sharer in his wretchedness. It fell from his hands, and he sat with a vacant gaze of horror—unconscious for a time of the nature or extent of the evil which had befallen him—a state of mind which sudden calamity induces,resembling - tho stunning effect of a violent blow. But the sensitive perception, and tho keen anguish soon followed. He took up the letter—again perused it, as though doubtful if his eyes had not deceived him; but alas! it was all too certain, and his .heart sunk within him. A moment the thought came over him, that ho should conceal from his wife the whole extent of the evil; would havelttumimpossible.._Tho_aufhl hanga-and-doatitlik4aktness.othis countentince, -and tho clammy coldness of the hand which she anxiously and-fendly-ptessed-betiveen her own, told' her that something droadfui had occurred.- -111elbourne-smk—but he•could not tell the talo—and he gave her the letter. She perused it-with enppressodzmotion ;_sberoltell-the weight of the misfortune; but it was evident some consol ing thought sustaineid her mind from sinking be. noath its presdUre. "Now," said the affectionate wife,-"now, Hen. ry, we shall learn the value of each other's love. It has been a joy to us—the greatest amongst many joys:—but •now, when it is likely to be out only one, we shall find out its true worth.' Be not thus wretched, my Henry. /. kneiv—l know it is not for your own sake you are . (- "No; No!" exclaimed the wretched man, rous e • by tlioso words troin" . tho strkta of torpor into which ho had again sunk. "It is for mine e and fbr our infant's. sake=.-say, then, that your wife and your - child haie by this event sustained a heavy, a grievous loss.

How beautiful, how admirable is the fortitude of woman! Delicate of nature, apd clinging for . support,, in all ordinary trials, to the more robust nature of man, it might be deemed, she were un equal to thu rude blasts of misfortune, and the hour of danger.

Soy. mour 'would have assisted him in mont in the world,—but be wished him to feel' the consequences of his-former folly. Whether it might be called folly or imprudence, the Tact was evident that he did feel the conse quences of it—it had shaken the foundations of "his constitution to their very base. The ingrati tude of some, the reproaches of others, and the meek resignation of his Carolino to her sadly al. fored lot, were sources Of that ceaseless "corking care," which preys on the body's health slowly, but surely, till the work of ruin is complete. To the tearful oyes of Mrs. Melbourne every day ex. hibitcd some fresh token of her husband's declin. ing state. His hollow eyes, and sunken cheeks and temples, with the bright hectic flush that came and went, as the slow fever which was con suming him prevailed or subsided—spoke IL. lan guage too plain to be misunderstood. Ho attended to his business with unremitting assiduity, but ho• was fearful and aniions lest evil should again bofal him. The society of his wife and, child had become dearer to him than ever, and he conibssed that misfortune alone could have taught them the worth ef each other's affection. But the last vial was yet to be poured out on the head of the unhappy Homy Melbourne. Cau tious as ho had been, he became from the failures of others again involved; end though to a trifling amount, it presented him with the horrorfrofa goal. His father-in-law, Mr. Seymour, on this second failure, became exasperated, and confirmed in the opinion ho had before entertained—that the whole was attributable to the negligence of Melbourne; and though ho did not close the door on him, late did that which had the same effect on s est df Henry Melbourne's spirit,---he made it evident to him that he was not welcome. : e The day preceding. that which was to bring Henry the 'alternative of paying hu bill, or going to prison, ho spent in fit , w4less applications to friends; he got abtreutanetiW pity, but no help— all were winkle, no one sage; and tete:reed home, tired of foot and sick at heart, to gaze on the saddest portion of his gloomy proipectL--the wife, with her nursling babe, from whose society he was so soon to be torn. • "Hive you got the money, Henry'?" was the question, with which', icz quick, but whispered tone, fAie met him on the threshhold; and with suspended breath she awaited his delayed answer, "No r' At that sound, hot fortitude fora few moments failed, and she sank a lifeless form into the arms df her husband. With returning consciousness, came again that enduring spirit whichlruirrustained-her4hrough the protracted trials of Fortune. "I will see my father," said Mrs. Melbourne, "I will - tithe my babe with me, and its• laughing-eyes-shall plead with the tears 4 , 25 mine, the cause of the blanieless, though unfortunate—he cannot deny his aid to his own child any longer." She was mistaken. Mr. Seymour was an ad mirer of justice and firmness. - He--thought his filitrvor haa been imprudent, and accounteaAjust ha should suffer for his folly; and it was now a inattor of pride with him to persist l in his Brutus like severity, in spite of his daughter's heart searching appeals on her b i psband's behalf. "Ho must go to a gaol then, dear father." "He sought his own way there, Caroline—it will teach him discretional,' "But consider his health, sir; would you have him lose his life . in a gaol?" "Your fears aggravate the evil. We will take care matters do not go so far as that; I will assist him yet; but ho must take a lesson first, my child, to know how to profit by that assistance.". With a sad heart, and sorrowful step, Mrs. MelbOurne te.enterod the door of their humble dwelling. Henry Melbourne was !lacing :the room, pressing his thin white hand on his still paler brow, turd apparently 'lost in thought. A momentary gleam of hope lit up his countenance,. but his wifefs look told him sho sad truth—the fail. ure.of her endeavours. "Have you no friend yet entried i my love?" in, quirod Mrs. Melbourne: "Yes," said Henry, "I now remember - tlmre is .sne friend."' As ho spoke, a languid Braille which played over his filatures,. was Immediately follow ed, as ho fixed his ()meet gaze on his Wife -and the playful infant in her grins, by a look of sorrow ful melancholy. , "Oh, Henry, why not try him then Tot. ino row—'---r-" "I,t will be time enough 10-morrow," ssidllen ry, in a kw solemn voice: "There is a man to whom I once rendered a kindness,.

Late in the afternoon , a messenger came for Mrs. Melbourne; her Inisband wished to see her as speedily as posible f with her infant. Her fa ther. atcornpanied her to the prison door, but, whether ashamed of the length to which he, had permitted their sufferings to run, or from firmness, the' entered not, and MrsMellx?urne wasshowa te the apartlent Whelk!. herhusband had been plated. A. - gray-heeded old - m4n, who was alio a. prison. or for debt, occupied a portion of the same small room. Oa the enuence, of Mrs. Melbourne, with a delicate and gentlemanly feeling, ho rose, and, bowing his venerable head,. with the tottering fee ble-step of agp left the room. A paleness, as of death, Was on the features or the poor prisoner; he fondly, tUnbraced the tree; sures of his broken heart,' and a few tears trjekled from his eyes upon the rosy cheek of his babe--but he was calm. ' "Henry, it is night, and your fkiand--your last friend haa,not arrived' said Mrs. Melbourne, in tending' to communicate the glad tidings of hor father's•promise for thalnorrow; but her husband interrupted her, . ' • "Caroline," he,said, in a low, painful voice; then paused, as if too Much overcome to proceed.

"But the one kind friend—you mentioned one just now; why not see hint tonight? To-mor row—" Again Mrs. Melbotrivec c e word—for it was her wish not to bring the proba. ble •event of the next day before his mind more forcibly, by talking of it—but the thought was maddening her brain, and the word would escape her lips. "Not te.night! it is so late to - call•on a friend," said Melbournii, with an air of languid mirthful. ness, "and for Jour sakes, I might wish—" lie paused,end it was in vain 'his wife ondea: toured to win from him tho moaning of those mysterious words. The dreaded day came, and again and again did Mre: Melbourne inquire concerning tho last friend, to whom her husband had alluded. Ho still spoke of him, but it was with a strange mel. ancholy tone and manner. "Has ho promised to come?", asked Mrs. Mel. bourne. "Ho has promised, my love." "But when—when, Henry 7" . ."To-night!" "To•night? oh,_ gracious Heavens! to-night, 'Henry—you will be in gaol !" For the words would no longer be suppressedi "It matters not!—tonight ho rain come !" said Melbourne in a positive and solemn manner. Early in the morning the arrest was served on the unfortunate Henry. When the moo entered, his wife was sitting beside him weeping, with her head reclining against his tihoulder, and he had his darling infant in his arms. . "I will attend you," said Melbourne.. "Carp. line, take our babe—she must not go to prison too!" With faltering step he crossed the room and taking from above the mantlopisce z. miniature of his wife and child, gazed fondly on it for a short time. "I will take it, though I shall not need it. Ca roline, you will go to your father's with our dear infant--he will not let you suffer----" "But the frieed, Henry—the friend you mention —to-night you say he ism come-ore you certain, he will weep i n • "X feet that he will was the answer. "Then toditormw you will be released ?" , "To-morrowl" repeated tholusband. Strange at the manner mut, in which the assu rance was given, Mrs Melbourne wan no fixed by the thought * "to-morrow he will be released," that the took no notice of it. Once more he kissed his babe s as it struggled in the arms of its mother to come to hina-*-and fondly embracing his , wife, turned to depart His limbs trembled beneath him, and his stop was fal tering. As though fre had sustained himself by mental excitement till that hour.-his bodily weak. noes became suddenly evident, and he aeon found it necessary to ask the support or the officer's arm. The insidiousness of consumptive disease, is a trite subject of remark. Like the undermining o a building, the foundation of the . constitution is sapped away by it, till at length, as by a sudden crash, the fabric falls. Henry Melbourne, as wo have before' rotated, had long buen its victim; and its, progress was not a little...acceleratte-by.the misfortunenle had endured.
