Grilyftburg. Pa. S. AN APOIIISING TREAT., • LNO. YIP. } JAPIIET, IN SEARCH OF A FATHER. CO - CONTINUEU FR 0. , 11 OUR LAST My grief for the death of the major was sincere; much may indeed be ascribed to habit from our long residence and compan ionship; but More to the knowledge that the major, with all his faults, had redeeming qualities, and that the world had driven him to become what he had been. I had the further conviction, that he was attached to me, and, in my situation, any thing like affection was most precious. His funeral was handsome, without being ostentatious, and I paid every demand upon him which I knew to be just—many, indeed, that were not sent in, from a supposition that any claim made would be useless. His debts were not much above £2OO, and these debts had never been expected to be liquidated by those who had given him credit. The paper he had written, and had been witness- I ed by Timothy and another, was n short will, in which he left me his sole heir and executor. The whole of his property con sisted in his house in St. James' street, the contents of his pocketbook entrusted to my care, and his personal efliicts, which, espe cially in bijouterie, were valuable. The house was worth about £4;000, as he had told me. In his pocket-book were notes to the amount of E 3,500, and his other effects might be valued at E4OO. With all his debts and funeral expenses liquidated, and with my own money, I found myself in possession ofabout k 4 ,ooo—a sum which never could have been credited, for it was generally supposed that he died worth lesS than nothing, having lived ,for a long while upon a capital of a similar value. "I cannot but say," observed Timothy, "but this is very fortunate. Had the major not pursunded.you to borrow money, he never would have won so large a sum. Had be lived he would have squandered it away; but just in the nick of time he is killed, and makes you his heir." "There is truth in your observation, Tim othy; but now you must go to Mr. Emman• uel, that I may pay him off. I will repay the £lOOO lent me by Lord Windermear into his banker's, and then I must execute . one part of the poor major's will. Bring it to me, and I will call and present it." This conversation took place the day after the funeral, and, attired in deep mourn ing, I called upon his lordship, and was admitted. His lordship had sent his car riage to attend the funeral, and was also in mourning when he recieved me. I cxecu• led my commission, and after a long con ' versation with his lordship, in which I con fided to him the contents of the will, and the amount of property of the deceased, I rose to take my leave. "Excuse me, Mr. Newland," said he; "but what do you now propose to do? I confess I feel a strong interest about you, and had wished that you had come to me oftener without an invitation. I perceive that you never will. Have you no inten tion of following up any pursuit?" "Yes, my lord, I intend to search after my father; and I trust that, by husbanding my unexpected resources, I shall now be able." You have the credit, in the fashionable world, of possessing a large fortune." "That is not my fkult, my lord: it is through Major Carbonnell's mistake that the world is deceived. Still 1 must acknowl edge myself so far participator, that 1 have never contradicted the report." "Meaning, 1 presume. by some good match, fo reap the advantage of the sup position." "Not so, my lord, i assure you. People may deceive themselves, but I will not de. ceive them." '.'Now undeceive them, Mr. Newland?" • "Undeceive them I will not; nay, ill did make the attempt, I should not be believed. They never would believe it possible that I could have lived so long with your relative, without' having had a large supply of mo ney. They might believe that I had run through my money, but not that I never had any," "There is a knowledge of the world in that remark," replied his lordship; "but I interrupted you, se proceed." "I mean to observe, my lord ! .-.—and you by your knowledge of my previous history. can best judge how fitr I am warranted in ' saving so—that 1 lime as vet steered the i middle course between that which is dishon l est and honest. lithe world deceives itself, you would say that, in strict honesty,. I ought to un,!eceive it. So I would, my lord, if it were not for my peculiar situation; but at the same time I never will, if possible, be ttuilty of direct deceit; that is to say, I would not lake alivantage of my supposed wealth, to marry a youn , r person or large fortune. I w' uld state myself a ()ever, and gain her I affitc:tion as a beggar. A woman can have little confidence in a man who deceives her before marriage." "Your secret will llways he safe with me, 'Mr. Newland; you havi- a right to demand it. Ia tn glad to hear the sentiments which you have expressed; they are not founded, perhaps, upon the strictest exude amorality, but•there are many who profess more who do not net up to so much. Still I wish you would think in what way I may be able to serve yeti, for your life at present is use less and unprofitable, and may tend to warp, still more, ideas which are not. quite as strict as they ought to be.' "My lord, I have but one object in allow ing the world to continue in their error re-' lative to my means, which is, that it pro cures for me an entrance into that society in which I have . a moral conviction that I shall find my father. I have but one pur suit, one end to attain--which is, to succeed in that search. I return you a thousand thanks for your kind expressions and good will; but. I cannot, at present, avail myself of them. I beg you lordship's pardon, but did you-ever meet the lady with the ear rings?" Lord Windermear smiled. "Really, Mr. Newland, you are a very strange per 1 son; not content with finding out your own parents, you must also be searching after other people's; not that I do not commend your conduct in this instance, but I'm afraid in running after shadows, you are too in different to the substance." "Ah, my lord! it is very well for you to argue who have had a father and mother, and never felt the want of them; but if you'l knew how my heart yearns after my parents, you would not surprised at my persever ance." "I am surprised at nothing in this world, Mr. Newland; every one pursues happiness in his Own way; your happiness appears to be centred in one feeling, and you are only acting as the world does in general; but recollect that the search after huppineas ends in disappointment." •"I grant it but too often does, 'My bird; but there is pleasure in the chase," replied I. "Well, go, and may you prosper. All I can say is this, Mr. Newland; do not have that false pride not to apply to me when you need assistance. Recollect it is much bet. ter to be under an obligation, if such you will consider it, than to do that which is wrong; and that it is a very false pride which would blush to accept a favour, and yet not blush In do what it ought to be ashamed of. Promise me, Mr. Newland, that, upon any revere or exigence, you will apply to me." "I candidly acknowledge to your lord ship that 1 would rather be under an obliga tion to any one hut you, and I trust you will clearly appreciate my feelings. I have ta ken the liberty of refunding the ..€l,OOO `•ou were so kind us to place at ray dispo sal as a loan. At the name time I will promise, that if, at any time, I should re- quire your assistance, 1 will again request leave to become your debtor." I rose again to depart. "Farewell, Newland; when I thought you had behaved ill, and offered to bent - r you, you only demanded my good opinion; you have it, and have it so firmly, that it will not easily be shaken." Hip lordship then shook hands with me, and I took my leave. On my return I found Emanuel, the mon ey-lender, who had accompanied Timothy, fancying that I was in want of more assis tance, and but too willing to give it. His surprise was very great when I told him that I wished to repay the money I had hot• rowed. "Veil, dig very strange! I have lent my monish a tnusand times, and never once they offer it me back. Vell, 1 will take it, "But how much must I give you, Mr. Em nanuel, for the ten days' loan?' 'How moth—vy you remember, you vill give de bond money—be fifteen hun- d red." "What! five hundred pounds interebt for en days, M r:F.lmmanuel; no, no, that's rath- er too bad. I will, if you please, pay you hack eleven hundred pounds,' and that 1 think is very handsome." "I don't want my monish, my good sar. I lend you one tousand pounds, on de con- dition that you pay me fifteen hundred when you come into your properties, which will be in very short time. You send for me, and tell me you vish to pay back de monish directly; 1 never refuse monish—if you wish to pay, I will take, but I will not take von larding less den de monish on de bond."

I wonder where that poor fool, Philotas, and our friend Jumbo, are now?" The remembrance of the two last per sonages made us both burst out a laughing. "Timothy, I'%ie been reflecting that my intimacy with poor Carbonnell has rather hindered than assisted me in my search. He found me with a good appearance, and he has moulded me into a gentleman as far as manners and appearance are concerned; but the constant vortex in which I have been whirled in his company, has prevented me from doing any thing. His melancholy death has perhaps been fortunate for me. It has left me more independent in circum• stances, and more free. I must now real ly set to in earnest." "I beg your pardon, Japhet, but did not you say the same when we first set off oo our travels, and yet remain more than a year with the gipsies? Did not you make the same resolution when we arrived in town, with our pockets full of money, and vet, once into fashionable society, think but little, and occasionally, of it? Now you make the same resolution, and how long will you keep it?" .'Nay, Timothy, that remark is hardly fair; you know that the subject is ever in my thoughts." _ "In your thoughts, I grant,very frequent ly; but you have still been led away from t he search." "I grant it, hut I presume that arises from not knowing how to proceed. I have a skein to unravel, and cannot find out an end to commence with " • "I always thought people commenced with the beginning," replied Tim, laughing. "At all events, 1 will now try back, and face the old lawyer. Do you call at Cole,- man street, Tim, and at St. Bridget's also, if you please." "As for St. Bridget's I'm m no particu lar hurry about my mother; if I stumble upon her 1 may pick her up, but I never . make a diligent search after what in all pro bability may not be worth the finding." Leaving Timothy 'to go his way, I walk ed to the house at Lincoln's Inn, which .1 had before entered upon the memorable occasion of the papers of Estcourt. As be tbre, I rang the bell, the poor swung open. and I was once more in the presence of Mr. Masterton. "I have a letter, sir," said 1, bowing, and presentiog the, letter.from-.l j ord Win dermear. The . old gentlemno peered at pie through his. spectacles.- "Why! we have:mut -be- Jew walked out of the room, with his arm behind his back as usual. Timothy and I burst out Into laughter. "Really Timothy," observed I, "It appears that very little art is necessary to deceive the world, for in every ,instance they will deceive themselves. The Jew it, off my conscience, at all events; and now he never will be paid, until—" "Until when, Japhetr "Until I find out my father," replied I. "Every thing is put ofrtill that time ar. rives, I olk.erve," said Timothy. "Other people VIII soon be as interested in the search IN VOll rSe "1 wish they were; unfortunately it is a secret, which cannot be divulged." A' ring nt the hell called Timothy down stairs: he returned with a letter; it was from Lord Windermenr, and ran as follows: "MY nt:An Niostt.Argn,—l have been thinking about you ever since you left me this morning, and as ! - ou appear resolved to prosecute your search, it has occurred to me that you should go about it in a more sys tematic way. I do not mean to say that what I now propose will prove of any iicivari loge to you, but still it may, as you will have a very old, and very clever head to advise with. I refer to Mr. Masterton, my legal advisor, from whom you had the pa pers which led to our first acquaintance. He is aware that you were (I beg your par den) an investor, as he has since seen Mr. Estcourt. The letter enclosed is for him, and with that in your hand you may face him boldly, and 1 have no doubt that he will assist you all in his power, and put you to no expense- Narrate your whole histo ry to him, and then you %%ill hear what he may propose. He has many secrets, much more important than yours. Wishing you every success that your perseverance de. serves, "Believe me, yours very truly "Lou!) tt INDERMEAR:" "I believe the advice to he good," said 1, after reading the letter. "I am myself at Finks, and hardly known how to proceed. I think I will go at once to the old gentfe. man, Timothy." "It ran do no harm, if it does no good. Two heads are better than one," replied Timothy. "Some secrets are too well kept, and deserting a child is one of those which is confided but to few." "By the by, 'Timothy, here have I been, more than so many years out of the Found ling Hospital, and have never yet.enquired if any one has ever been to reclaim me." "Very true; and I think I'll step myself to the workhouse, at St. Bridget's, and ask whether any one has asked about me," re plied Timothy, with a grin. "There is another thing that I have neg lected;" observed I, "which is,- to enquire at the address in Coleman Street, if there is any letter from Melchier." "I have often thought of him," replied Timothy. "I wonder who he can be— there is another mystery there. I wonder whether we shall ever fall in with him again —and Nattee, too?" fore—bless me—why you're the rogue that " • ' "You are perfectly right, sir," interrupt ed I. "1 am the rogue who presented the letter from Lord Windermear, and who presents you with another from the same person; do me the favor to read it, while I take a chair." "Upon my soul--you some dog, I must say—err...t pity--come Gar monev,l suppose. Well, it', a sad world,' muttered the laws er as he broke open the let ter of Lord Windermenr. I Medea() reply, but watched his counte nance, which changed to that of an expres• Sion of surprise. "Had his lordship sent me a request to have you hanged if possible," said Mr. Masterton, "I should have felt no surprise, ~but in this letter lie praises you, and desires me to render you all the service in my power. I can't understand it." "No, sir; but &you have leisure to listen to trie, you will then find that, in this world, we may be deceived by appearances." "Well, and so I was, when 1 first saw you; 1 never cotild have believed you to be—but never mind." "Perhaps, sir, in an hour or two you will again alteryour , jAion. Are you at leisure, or will you make an appointment for some future day?" "Mr. Newland, I am not at leisure—l never was more buss; and if you had come on any legal business, I should have put you oilier three or 'four days, at least; but my Curiosity is so raised, that I am determined that I will indulge it at the expense of my interest. "I will turn the key, and then you will oblige me by unraveling, what ut present is to me as curious as it is wholly incompre hensible." In about three hours I had narrated the history of my life, up to the very day, almost as much detailed as it has been to the reader. "And now ; Mr. Masterton," said I, as I wound up my narrative, "do you think that I deserve the title of rogue, which you ap plied to me when I came in?" "Upon my word, Mr. Newland; I hardly know what to say; but I like to tell the truth. To say that you have been quite honest, would not be correct—a rogue to a certain degree you have been, but you have been the rogue ofeircumstanees. I can only say this. that there are greater rogues than you, whose characters are unblemished in the 'world—'that most people in your peculiar situation would have been much greater ropuesr . and lastly, that rog ue or not rogue, I have great pleasure in taing you by the hand, and will do all I possibly can to serve you—and that for your own sake. Your search after your parents I consider almost tantamount to a wild•goose chase; but still, as your happiness depends upon it, I suppose it must be carried on; but you must allow me time for reflection. I will consider what may be the most judicious method of pro ceeding. Can you dine tele-a•lete with me here on Friday, and we then will talk over the matter?" "On Friday, sir. I am afraid that I am engaged to Lady Maelstrom; but that is of no consequence—l will write an excuse to her ladyship." "Lady Maelstrom! how very odd that you should bring up her name after our conver sation." "Why so, my dear sir?" "Why!" replied Mr. Masterton, chuck ling; "because—recollect, tt is a secret, Mr. Newland-1 remember some twenty years ago, when she was a girl ofeighteen, before she married, she had a little faux pas, and I was called in about a settlement, for the maintenance of the child." "Is it possible, sir?" replied I, anxiously. "Yes, she was violently attached to a young officer, without money, but of good family; some say it was a private marriage, others, that he was—a rascal. It was all hushed up, but he was obliged by the fiends, before he left fur the West Indies, to sign a deed of maintenance, and I was the party called in. 1 never heard any more about it. The officer's name was Warrender; he died of the yellow fever, I believe, and after his death she married Lord Maelstrom." "He is dead, then?" replied I, mournfully. "Well, that cannot affect you, my good fellow. On Friday, then, at six o'clock precisely. Good afternoon, Mr. Newland." I shook hands with the old gentleman, and returned home, but my brain whirled with the fear ofa confirmation, of that which Mr. Masterton had,so carelessly conveyed. Any thing like a possibility, immediately was swelled to ,a certainty in my imagina tion, so ardent and heated on the one subject; and as soon as 1 repined my room, I threw myself on the sofa, and fell into a deep re verie. I tried to approximate the features of Lady Maelstrom to mine, but all the in genuity in the world could not effect that; but still, I might be like my father—but my fat her was dead, and that threw a chill over the whole glowing picture which I had, as usual, conjured up; besides, it was asserted that I was born in wedlock, and there was a doubt relative to the marriage of her ladyr shin. After a long cogitation I jumped up, seiz• ed my hat, and set off fbr Grosvenor Square, determining to ask a private interview with her balvship, and at once end my harassing doubts and surmises. I think there could not be a greater proof of my madness - than my venturing to attack a lady offitriy upon the irregularities of her youth, and toques. lion her upon a subject which had been con. -tided but-to two or three, and she imagined had long been forgotten: but this never struck me; all consideratimis were leveled in ardent pursuit. I walked through thestreets at a rapid pace, the crowd passed by me es !shadows, I neither saw nor distinguished them; I was deep in reverie as to the best way of breaking the subject to her ladyship, for, notwithstanding my monomania, I per. ceived it to be a point of great delicacy.—' After having overturned about twenty peg ple in my mad career, I arrived at the door and knocked. My heart beat almost as hard against my ribs with excitement. "Is her ladyship at home'?" "Yes, sir." , I was ushered into the drawing-room, and found her sitting with two of her nieces, the Misses Fairfax. - • "Mr. Newland, you have been quite a stranger," said her ladyship, as. I walked up to her and made my obeisance. "I did in tend to scold you well; but I suppose that an affair of poor Major Cerbonnoll's has been a heavy blow to you—you wore so intimate —lived 'together, I believe, did r u not? However, you have not so much cause to' regret, kir he was not a very proper com panion for young men like yaw to tell you the truth, l consider it as a fortunate eir cunaitance that he was removed, for he would by degrees have led you into all man ner of mischief, and have persuaded you to squander your fortune. I did at one time think of giving you a hint, but it was a deli. cate point—now that he is gone, I tell you very candidly that you have had an escape. A young man like you, Mr. Newland, who could command en alliance into the highest, yes, the very highest' families-Land let me tell you, Mr. Newland, that there is noth ing like connection—money is of no conae• quence to you, but connection, Mr. Newland, is what you should look for—connection with some high family, and then you will do well. I should like to see you settled—well settled, I mean, Mr. Newland. Now that you are rid of the major, who has ruined many young men in his time, I trust you will seriously think of sottling doWn into a married man. Cecilia, my dear, show your tambour work to Mr Newland, and ask him his opinion. Is it not beautiful, Mi. New land?" "Extremely beautiful, indeed, ma'am, " replied I, glad at last that her ladyship a. lowed me to speak a word. "Tme, my dear, you look pale, you must go out into the air. Go, children, put your bonnets on and take a turn in the garden; when the carriage comes round I will send for you." The young ladies quit ted the room. "Nice innocent girls, Mr. Newland; but you are not partial to blondes, I believe?" "Indeed, Lady Maelstrom, I infinitely prefer the blonde to the brunette." 'That proves your taste, Mr. Newland. The Fairfaxes are of a very old family, Saxon, Mr. Newland. Fair-fax is Saxon for light hair. Is it not remarkable that they should be blondes to this day? Pure blood, Mr. Newland. You, of course, have heard of General Fairfax, in the time of Cromwell. He was their direct ancestor— an excellent family and highly connected, Mr. Newland. You are aware that they are my nieces. My sister married Mr. Fairfax." I. paid the Misses Fairfax compliments which I thought they really deserved, for they were very pretty amiable girls, and required no puffing on the part of her lady. ship; and then 1 commenced. "Your lady. ship has expressed such kind wishes towards me, that I cannot be sufficiently grateful; but, perhaps, your ladyship may think me romantic, but I am resolved never to marry except for love." " A very excellent resolve, Mr. Newland; there are few young men who care about love now.a.days, but I. consider that love is a great security for happiness in the wed. ded state." "True, madam, and what can be more delightful than a first attachment? I appeal to your ladyship, was not your first attach ' ment the most delightful—are not the reminiscences most lasting—do you not, oven now, call to mind those halcyon days when love was all and every thing?" "My days of romance are long past, Mr. Newland," replied her ladyship; "indeed I never had much romance in my composi tion. I married Lord Maelstrom for the connection, and I loved him pretty well, that is, soberly, Mr. Newland. I mean, I loved him quite enough to marry him, and to obey my parents, that is all." "But, my dear Lady Maelstrom, I did not refer to your marriage with his lord ship; I referred to your first love." "My first love,'Mr. Newland; pray what do you mean?" replied her ladyship, looking very hard at me. "Your ladyship need not be ashamed of it. Our hearts are not in our own keep ing, nor can we always control our passions. I have but to mention the name of Warren. der." "Warrender!" shrieked her ladyship. "Pray, Mr:Neivland," continued her lady ship, reeoveiing herself, "who gave you ;that piece of information?" "My dear Lady Maelstrom, pray di) not be displeased with me, but I am very par ticularly interested •in this 'tam. Your love for Mr. Warrender, long before your marrinue, is well known to me; and it-is to that love, to which I referred; whet; I asked you if it was not most delightful." "Well, Mr. Newland," replied her lady ship," how you have obtained the knowledge I know not, but there was, 1 acknowledge,a trifling flirttition with Edward Warrender and me—bull was young, very young, ut that time." "I grant it; and du tiot, for a moment, [WHOLE NO. 283. imagine that I intend. to blame . your laity—) ship; blit, as I before said, madam, I urn much interested in the husiness."; "What interest you can have with a little flirtation of mine, which took oleo.* berme you were horn, I cannot imagine, Mr. New;, laud."

".Then, your ladyship; 1 will put but one more question, and that one I must put, with you permission." "I should think, after what I have said, Mr. Newlatiu, that you might drop the sub ject." • • "I will, your ladyship,irnmediately; pardon me, the queetion—" ."Well, Mr. Newland T' "Do not be angry with me—" "Well? exclaimed her ladyehip who 01) 7 peered alarmed. "Nothing hut the most important and im perative reasons could induce me to ask the question," (her ladyship gasped for breath, and could not speak,Ustammeredibut at last brought it. out. "What has become of— of—of the sweet pledge olyour" love, Ludy Maelstrom?" Her ladyship colorecrup with rage, rais ed up her clenched hand,and then fell back in violent hysterics. I hardly knew how to act—;-if I called the servants, my interview would be at an end, and I was resolved to find out the truth: for the same reason, I did not like to ring for water. Some vases with flowers were on the table; I took out the flowers,and threw the water in her face, but they had been in the water some time, and had discolored it green. Her ladyship's dress was a high silk,of a bright slate color and was immediately spoiled; but this was no time to stand upon trifles. I seized hold ofa glass bottle, fancying; in my hurry, it was eatede cologne, or some essence, and poured a little into her mouth; unfortunate ly it was a bottle of marking ink, which her ladyship, who was very economical, had on the table in disguise. I perceived my ey ror, and had recourse to another vase of flowers, pouring a large quantity of the green water down her throat. Whether the unusual remedies had effect, or not, I can not tell, but her ladyship gnidually revived, and as she lent back on the sofa, sobbing, every now and then, convulsively, I poured into her ear a thousand apologies, until,l thought she was composed enough to listen to me. "Your ladyship's maternal feelings," said "It's all a calumny! a base lie, sir!" shriek ed she. "Nay, nay, why be ashamed Ufa youth; ful passion; why. deny what was in itself creditable to your unsophisticated mind? Does not your heart, even now, yearn to embrace your eon: will not you bless me, if 1 bring him to your feet, will not you bless your son, & receive him with delight'?" "It was a girl," screamed her ladyship, forgetting herself, and again falling into hysterics. "A girl!" replied I, "then I have lost my me, and it is no use my remaining here." [To BE CONTINUED.) A GOOD JOKE.--"How will you swap watches?" said B. to a plough-jogger, one day last week. "I have no watch," was the reply, "but if ye want to trade, I will sell yea horse." "Is he good for any thing?" "Yes, the best saddle horse in the cone. "How is he in a carriage?" "He ought to be good--he was brought up to a baker's cart." "1 will give you ten dollars and my watch for him." "The horse is your'L," said he of the sod. Our friend mounted, and found the horse as recommended—an excellent saddle horse. B. was mightily pleased with his bargain, and, determined to prove all his good quali ties at once, forthwith harnessed him into a. wagon. • "Gee up!" says B. "Gee down!" says the horse. - And our friend, found six feet of himself in the mud,' with the front of the wagon lip ing in all directions around him. • "Friend," says B.
