XVIII.] JAPLIET, IN SEARCH or A. FATHER. Kr CONTINUED 111031 OUR LAST• We argued the matier over fbr some time, and then it was agreed that we should pro ceed together. I was informed by Mr. Co. tillages that he had retired with a. very handsome fortune, and was living in the country, about ten miles from the metropo lis; that ho had boon summoned to attend the funeral of a maiden aunt in Dublin, who had left him executor and residuary legatee. but that he knew nothing of her circumstan ces. Ho was still a bachelor, and amused himself in giving advice and medicines gratis to the poor people of the village in which he resided, there being no resident practiConer within some distance. He liked the coun try very flinch, but there was one objection to it—the cattle. He had not forgotten the mud bull. At a very late hour we retired to our beds; the next morning the weather had moderated, and on the arrival of the mail we embarked, and had a very good pas sage over. On my arrival at Dublin I direc ted my steps to the F—Hotel, as the best place to make enquiries relative to Mr. De Benyon. Mr. Cophagus also put up at the same hotel, and we agreed to share a sitting room. Waiter," said I, "do you know a Mr. De Benvour "Yes sir," replied he; "there is one of the DO Benyons at the hotel at this moment." "Is he a married man?" "Yes—with a large family." "What is his Christian name?" "t really cannot tell, sir; but find out for you by to-morrow morning." "When does Ile leave?" "To-morrow, I believe." "Do you know where he goes?" • "Yes, sir, to his own seat." "The waiter left the room. "Won't do Japhet," said Cophagus., "Large family— don't want more—hare times, and so on." "No," replied I, "it does not exactly an• sorer; but I may from him obtain further in telligence." "Won't do, Japhet—try another way— large family—want all uncle's motley—urn —never tell—good night " This remark of Mr. Cophagus gave me an idea, upon which I proceeded the next morning; I sent in my card, requesting the honor of speaking to Mr. De Benyon, stat ing that I had come over tolfreland on kis iness of importance, but that as I must be back &f possible by term time, it would per haps save much expense and trouble.. The waiter took in the message. "Buck by term time--it must be some legal gentle man. Show him up," said Mr. De Ben. yon. "I walked in with a business like air.— "Mr. De Benyon, I believe?" "Yes, sir; will you do me the favor to take a chair?" • ,I seated myself, and drew out my memo. random book. "My object, Mr. De Ben you, in troubling yob, is to ascertain a few particulars relative to your family, which we cannot so easily find out in' L7ngland.— .There is a property which it is supposed may be claimed by one of the Do Denyons, but which we cannot ascertain until we have a little search into the genealogical tree." "Is the property larger enqiiired Mr. De Benyon. , "Not very large," replied I; "but still a very handsome property, lam told." The reader may surmise that the propotty refer red to was my own pretty self. — "May I ask a few particulars relative to the present earl and his brothers?" "Most certainly. sir," replied Mr. De. "any information I can give you will be at your service. The earl has four brothers. The eldest Maurice." "Is . he married!" "No; nor has he ever been. He ;s a gen eral in the army. The second is myself, Henry." "You are married, I believe, sir?" "Yes, with a large fatally:" - "Nlay I request you to io'oceed sir?' "Arthur is the next brother; 'le also is a married man with a family; and Octayius is the fourth brother. Ho is lately married, and has two children." "Sir, I feel much ohli2ed to von; it is a curious and intricute:atlirir. As I am, here, I may us well ask one question, although riot of great consequence. The earl is mar. tied, I perceive, by the peerage, but I do not perceive that he has any children." "On the contrary, he has two—and pros. - peers of more." This annoyed me, and the render may imagine how mad I 'was by so trifling a circumstance. "May I now request the particulars con fleeted with this property?" "The exact particulars, sir, I cannot well tell you, as I nun not acquainted with them myself; but the property in question, I~ rath er think, depends upon a name. May I venture to ask the names of all your chil dren?" Mr. De Benyon gave me a list seriatim, which 1 put down with great gravity. "thcourse there is no doubt ofyour elder brother not being married. I believe we ought to have a certificate. Do you know his address'?" ,"Ile has been in the East Indies for many yeors, He returned home on furlough, and has now just sailed again for Calcutta." "That is unfortunate; we must forward a letter through the India board. May I also be favoured with your address, us in all probability it may be advisable?" Mr. De Benyon gave me his address. I rose, promised to give him all the particu lars as soon is they were known to me, bow ed, and made my exit. To one who was in his sober senses, there certainly was not any important information gained; but to nip was evident that the Mr. De Benytin who had been a colonel in the army was to be interrogated, and I had almost made up my mind to set off for Calcutta. Before I had gained my own room, I informed Mr. Caphagus, who had just returned from a visit to his maiden aunt's house, of what had pasged. - •'l;an't see any thing in it, Japhet—wild goose chase—who told you? old Pleggit's men—sad liars—De Benyon not name, de pend upon it, all stuff, and so on." And when I reflected, I could not but ac knowledge that the worthy apothecary was right, and that I was running after shadows; but. this was only in my 'occasional fits of despondency. I soon rallied, and was as sanguine as ever. Undecided how to pro ceed, and annoyed by what Caphagus had said, I quitted the hotel, to walk out, in no ' very goad humor. As I went out, I per ceived the agent M‘Dermott speaking to the people in the bar, and the'sight of' him re minded me of what for a moment I had flir gotten, which was, to ascertain whether Melchior and Sir Henry de Clare were one and the same person. As I passed a cross ing, a man in tittered habiliments, who was sweeping it, asked for alms, but being in no very charitable humour, I walked on. He followed me, pestering me so much, that I gave him a tap with the cane in my hand, saving to him, "Be off, you scoundrel." "Oh! very well. Be off is it you mane? By the blood . of the O'Rourkes but you'll answer for thdl same, any how." I passed on, and having perambulated the city of Dublin for some time, returned to the hotel. A few minutes afterwards I was told by the waiter, that a Mr. O'Donaghan Wished to speak to me. "I have not, the honor of his acquaintance," replied I; "but you may show up." Mr. O'Donaghan entered; .a tall,-thick whiskered personage . ; in a shabby-genteel dress, evidently not made for him, a pair of' white cotton gloves, and a small stick. "I believe that I have the honor of speaking to the gentleman who crossed over the street • about two hours ago?" "Upon my word, sir," replied I, "that is so uncertain a definition, that I can hardly pretend to say whether I am the person,you mean; indeed, from not having the pleasure of any one's acquaintance in Dublin, I riAtil er think there must be some mistake." • "The devil a bit ofa mistake, at all, at all; for there's the little bit ofa cane with which you paid my friend Mr. O'Rourke the com pliment over his shoulders." "1 really am . quite mystified, air, and . do not understand vou; will you favour me with an explanation?" "With all the pleasure in life, for then we shall come ton right understanding. You 'were crossing the street, and a gentleman, a particular friend of mine, with, a broom which he carries for his own amusement, did himself the honor to address yoo,where upon of that same little stick of yours, you did him the honor to give him a slight taste." "What. do you mean? do you refer to the sweeper, who was so -importunate when I crossed over the road?" "Thou by tho powers. you've just hit it, as you did him. That's my „ particular friend, Thaddeus O'Rourke, gentleman." "Gentleman!" exclaimed 1. "And with as gond and as.true Milesian blood aS any in Ireland. If you think, 'air, that because my friend, just for his own a musement, thinks proper to put on the worst of his clothes and carry a broom, just by way, of exercise, to prevent his becoming too lusty, he is theretirre to be struck like a hound, it's a slight mistake, that's all; and here, sir, is his cart, and you will oblige me by mentioning any friend of yours with whom I may settle all the little points neces• sary before the meeting of two gentlemen." I could hardly refrain froin laiigh . ing at this Irish gentleman and his friend, but .I ain't it advisable to rel 3 in my countenance. " My dear sir," replied 1, " it rjeves me to the heart that I should have commit. ted such an error, m not perceiving the gen tility of your friend; had I not been so care less, 1 certainly should have requested him to do me the honor to accept a shilling instead of having ()tiered him the insult. I hope it is not now too late?" "By the powers, I'm not 'one of those ha rum scarum, sort,wlio ie mild make up a fight when there's no occasion for it, and as your 'haviour is that of a gentleman, 1 think it will perhaps be better to shake hands upon it, and forget it altogether. Suppose, now, we'll consider that it was all a mistake?— You give the shilling, as you intended to do, I'll swear, You were only m so great a hurry --awl then, perhaps, you'll not object to throw in another shilling for that same tap with the cane, just to wipe off the insult as it were, as we do our sins, when we fork out the money, and receive absolution from the padre; and then, perhaps, you'll not think it too touch if I charge another shilling for my time and trouble, for carrying a message between two gentlemen." "On the contrary, Mr. O'Donaghan, think all your demands are reasonable.— ere is the money." Mr. O'Dmiaghan took the three shillings. "Then sir, and many thanks to you, I'll wish you_ u good evening, and M r. 0' Roiirke shall know from roe that you have absolution for the whole, and that you have offered every sa ti s f ac ti on wh;el i one gentleman could ex pect from nnot he r." Su saying, Mr. af,, , hati put his hat on with a firm cock,pulled on hie gloves, manceuvred his stick, and, with a flourishing bow, took his departure. I had hardly dismissed this gentleman, arid was laughing to myself at the ridiculous occurrence, when Mr. Copt agus returned, first putting his cane up to his nose with an arch look, arid then laying it down on the table and tubbing his hands. "Good---warm old lady. No--dead and cold—but left sonic thousands—only one legacy--old Toni cut--physic him to-morrow—soon die, arid so on." On a more full explanation, I found that the old lady had left about nine thousand pounds'in the funds and bank securities, all of Which with the exception oft weir ty pounds per annum to a firvorite cat, was left to Mr. Cophagus. I congratulated him upon this accession of fortune. He stated that the lease of the house and furniture was still to be disposed of, and that rifler that he should have nothing more to do; but he wished me very much to assist him in rummaging over the various cabinets belonging to the old lady, and which were full of secret draw ers; that in one cabinet alone lie had fhund upwards of fifty pounds in various gold coins, arid that if not well examined, they would probably be sold with ninny articles of con• sequence remaining in them. As ray only object in Ireland was to find out Sir Henry De Clare, and identify him, (hut really why, I could not have said, as it would have prov. ed nothing after all) I willingly consented to devote a day to assist Mr. Cophagus in his examinations. Tire next morning after breakfirst we went together to the house of the old lady, whose name bad been Alait• land, as Mr. Cophagus inflamed me. Her furniture was of the most ancient descrip• tion, and in every room in the house there was an or molu, or Japan cabinet; some of them *ere very handsome, decorated with pillars, and or molu and Silver ornaments. I can hardly recount the variety of articles, which in all probability had been amassed during the whole of the old lady's life, corm mencing with her . years of childhood, and ending with the day of her death. There were antique ornaments, some of considera ble value—miniatures, ferns, etuis, notes, of which the ink from time had turned to a light red—packages of the letters of the va rious correspondents in her days of hope and anticipation, down to those of solitude and age. We looked over some of them, but they appeared to both of us to be sacred,and they were afier a slight examination,. corn. Milted to the flames.. After we had examined -all the apparent receptacles in these cabinets, we took them up between us, and shook them, and in most cases found out that there were secret draw ers, containing other treasures. There was one packet of letters which caught my eye, it was from a Miss De Benymi, I seized it immediately, and showed the inscription to Mr. Copliagus. "Pooh—not h ing at all —her mother was a De Kenyon." "Have you any objection to my looking at these letters?" "No—read—nothing in them," I laid them on one side, and we proceed ed in our search, when Mr. Cophagus took up a sealed packet. "Lich! what's this— De Benyon again? Japhet, look here?" I took the packet, it ,was sealed, and tied with red tape. "Papers belonging to Lieu• tenant, Maurice Do Benyon, to be roamed to him at fly &cease." "Alice N116111141(1, with great care," was written at the bottom of the envelope. 4•This is it, my dear sir," cried 1,, jump ing up and embracing 31 r. Cophagus; "these are the papers which I require. May 'I keep them?" [WHOLE NO. 290. • "Mao-- q uite nvid—go to Bedlam—al* waistcoat—head shaved, and so on." , He then, after his own fashion, told rers,\' that as executor, ho must retain those pers; pointed out to me the little probability, there was of their containing tiny inihrfett ! •:.:. lion relative to my birth—even rillowing, that a person of the mime of De Benyon dig call at the Foundling to ask for me, which %%aii only a. supposition; and, finally, over threw all the holies which had been lorrio ninny days buoying are up. When 40, finished, I threw myself upon the'sefa' 'fa despair, Mid wished, at the mothent . , that :A had never been born. Still, hope agaiia.rese Uppermost, and I would have given all possessed to have been able to-break ope ' the seals of that packet, and have recta the contents. At one moment I was so frantie, that I was debating whether I should._ not : take them front, 111 r. ,whether by foree,aed. run off with them. At last I rose, menced reading the letters whichl, bad aside, but there was nothing in them tart the trifling communications of twoyoung weirien„.: who mentioned what was amusing to therm, but uninteresting to those iihO wore fiat tic - (painted with the parties. At last we had finished, Mr. Cophagus collected all together, and putting thein into a box, we returned in a coach to the hotel. The next day 'AI r. Cophagus had completed all his arrangements, and the day renewing had determined to return'to England. walked with him down to the vessel, :and, watched it for an hour alter it had sailed, for it bore away a packet ofpnpers which I could riot help imagining were to discover the se cret which I was so eager in pursuit of. night's sleep made me more rational, and now resolved to ascertain where Sir Henry de Clare, or Alelchic.r, as I felt certain he must be, was to be found. 1 sent for. the waiter, and asked him iflie could inform He immediately replied in the affirmative,. and gave his address, Mount-Gruitnei Castle, Connemara, asking me when I intended to set out. It did not strike me till afterwarda„„ that it was singular that he should be so well acquainted with the address, and that he should have produced a card with tt written upon it; or, moreover, that hOlieuld knoW that it was my intention to go there. I took the address, and desired that I might haVe horses ready very early the next morning.. I then sat down and wrote a letter to Har court; informing him of my proceedings, also one to Mr. Masterton fetich more ex.. plicit, lastly„ o Timothy, to the care ofHar court, requesting him to let me know What had occurred bet Ween - him and the gipsies; After dinner 1 packed tip - ready for my Jour ney, and having settled my bill; I was riot sorry to retire to my'fied. .., • - At daylight I was, as I requested, called by the waiter, and taking with me only a. very small portmanteau, !ying left the rest . of my effects in the charge of the people Who kept the hotel, Lset off in a past-chaisenn - my expedition. I was soon clear ofthe city; and on a fine smooth road, and as I threw myself back in the corner of the chaise, I, could nor help asking myself the question . of, what was the purport of my journey? As the reader will perceive, I was wholly gov-, erned by impulses; find never allowed reason or common sense to stand in the way of my . feelings. "What have Ito do?" replied], to myself; "to find out if ,Melchior and Sir. Henry de Clare are not one and the same person. And what then? What then? why, then I may find out 'something relative' to Fleta's parentage. Nay, but is that likely, —if, as you suppose, Melchior is Sir Henry, de Clare—if, as you suppose, it is he who is_ now trying to find out, imd,carry off Fleta--._ is it probable that you will gain a n y motion from . him? I have an idea that Fleta. is the little girl said to have died, who. Was the child of his elder brother. Why, sof What interest could Machior have in steal ing his own niece? That I cannot , Why did Notice gibe me themeeklacel I. cannot tell—she would hardiy betray her husband. At all Givents,,there is a myfitery; and it - can only he unraveled by being, pul led . at; and I,may learn something by meet-, ° ing Melchior , whereas, shall learn nothing, by remaitiini7; quiet." , This hist idea satis- . tied me, and fur ninny hours a train of deep thought, only checked by paying ter the horses at the eno.of-evpry stage. It was now past twelve o'clock, ,whcn (build that it was necessary to change the chaise at every post. The connt ry, also, a.* well as the roads, had changed much for the worse. Cultivation was not so irent,tint roads were mountainous, and oivilization-ge- florally disappeared. It .yas'nearly when I arrived at the last post, from whencti I was to take horses to Mount Grimnis:cao t tle. As usual, the chaise alsowas tp changed; . and I could not help, obiterving that each change was from . bad, Rope harness was used, and thevehicleto-',4, themselves of the most crazy coruhtion.-I,if Still I had travelled, very ft&ly, for an I ribh postilion knows how to make im Irish horse go a very luir pace., 1 descended . 110111 the chtiise, and ordered another out immediate.
