Timothy returned, and brought me con
solation; the bleeding had not re-commenc
ed, and Harcourt was in tolerable spirits.—
An eminent surgeon had been sent for. "Go
again, my dear Timothy; and as you are
intimate with Harcourt's servant, you will
be able to find out what they are about."
Timothy departed, and was absent about
an hour, during which I lay on the sofa, and
groaned with anguish. When he returned,
I knew by his face that his intelligence was
favorable. "All's right," cried Timothy,
"no amputation after all. It was only one
of the smaller arteries which was severed,
and they have taken it up."
I sprang up from the sofa and embraced
Timothy, so happy was I with the intelli
gence, and then I sat down again, and cried
like a child. At last I became more com
posed. 1 had asked Captain Atkinson to
dine with me, and was very glad when he
came. He confirmed Timothy's report, and
I was so overjoyed, that I sat late at dinner
drinking very'freely, and when he again pro
posed that we should go to the rouge et noir
table,l did not refuse—on the contrary,flush
ed with wine, I was anxious to go, and took
all the money that I had with me. On our
arrival, Atkinson played, but finding that he
was not fortunate, he very soon left id: As
I had followed his game, I also had lost con
siderably, and he entreated me not to play
any more—but I was a gamester it appear
ed, and I would not pay attention to him,
and I did not quit the table until I had lost
every shilling in my pocket. I left the
house in no very good humor, and Atkinson,
who had waited for nee, accompanied me
home.
"Newland," said he, "I don't know what
you may think of me--you may have heard
that I'm a rouge, &c. &c. &c., but this I
always do, which is, caution those who are
gamesters from their hearts. I have watch
ed you to-night, and I tell you, that you will
be ruined if you continue to frequent that
table. Youlave no command over yourself.
I do not know what your means may be, hut
this I . do know, that if you wAre a Crcesus,
you would be a beggar I cared nothing
for you while you were the 4r. Newland,
the admired, and lender of the &shim, but I
felt for you when I heard that you were scout
ed from society. merely because it was found
out that you were not so rich as you were
supposed to be. I had a fellow feelir g, as
told you. I did nor make your acquain
tance to win your money—l can win as much
as I wish from the scoundrels who keep the
tables, or from those who would not maple
to plunder otherq and I now entreat you not
to return to that place—and am sorry, very
sorry, that ever I took you there. To me,
the excitement is nothing—to you, it is
overpowering. You ore a gamester or rath
er you have it in your dispositi tttt . Take,
therelbre, the advice of a friend, ill may so
call myself, and do not go there again. I
hype you ore not seriously inconvenienced'
by what you have lost to-night,"
"Nut the least," replied I. "It was reads
money. I thank you for your advice, and
will follow it. I have been a fool to-night,
and one folly is sufficient."
Atkinson then left me. I bad lost about
Vara hundred and fifty pounds, which inrlud
ad my winnings of the night befbre. I was
annoyed at it, but I thought of Harcourt's
Qafety, and felt indifferent. The reader may
I.E-collect, that 1 had three thousand pounds,
`which Mr. Masterton had offered to put out
at mortange for me but until he could find an
Apportunity, 4 , y his advice 1 bad bought
Aitock iu the Ihire r•r cent. Since that, he
bad not succeed( ii, as mortgages in general
are tbr larger stin.s, and it had thPiefiire
remained. My rents were not yet due, and
1 was obliged to have recourse to this Ma
rley. I
therefore went into the city, order
ed the broker to Sidi out two hundred pounds,
intending to re-phice it as soon as I could—
air I would not have liked that Mr. Master
ton should have known that 1 had lost mo
ney by gambling. When I returned from
the city, I found Captain Atkinson in my
apartments, waiting for me.
"Harcourt is doing ivell, and you are not
doing badly. I have let all the world know
that you intend to call out whoever presumes
to treat you with indifference."
"The devil you have! but that is a threat
which may easier be made than followed tip
by deedF."
"Shoot two or three more," replied At
kinson, coolly, "and I hen, depend open it,
You'll have it all your own way. As it is,
I acknowledge there has been some show of
resistance, awl they talk of making a ;ego.
hnion not to meet you, on the score of your
being an impostor."
"And a very plausible reason, too," repli
ed I; "nor do I think. I have any right-1

ought to retire, and. if possible, re-appear
with real claims upon the public favor. I
have still friends, thank God! and influential
friends. lam offered a writership in India
—a commission in the army--or to study
the law. Will you favor me with your lan
mu?"
"You pay me a . compliment by asking my
advice. A wiitership in India is fourteen
years' transportation, returning with plenty
to live on, hut no health to enjoy it. in the
army you might do well, and moreover, as
an officer in the army, none dare refuse to
go out with you. At the same time, under
your peculiar circumstances, I ihink if you
were in a crock regiment, you would, io all
probability, have to fight one half the mess,
and he put in Coventry by the other :t- You
must then exchange on half pay, and your
commission would be a great help toyou.—
As for the law, I'd sooner see a brother of
mine in his coffin. There, you have my
opinion."
"Not a very encouraging one, at all e
vents," replied I, laughing; "but there is
much tmth in your observations. To India
I will not go, as it will interfere with the
great object of my existet:ce."
"And pray, if it be no secret, may I ask
what that is!"
"l'u find out who is ntyfitther."
Captain Atkinson looked very hard at me.
"I more than once." Said he, "have thought
you a little cracked, but now I perceive you
arc mad—downright mad; don't be angry,
I couldn't help saying so, and if you wish me
to give you satisfaction, I shall most unwil
lingly be obliged."
"No, no, Atkinson, I believe you are not
very far wrong, and 1 forgive yon—hut to
proceed. The army, as you say, will give
me a position in society, from my profession
being tl at of a gentleman, hut as 1 do not
wish to take the advantage which you have
suggested from the position, I shrink front

"Without wishing to pry into your afrairs,have
you sufficient to live upon?"
"Yes, in a moderato way; about a younger
brother's portion, which will just keep nut in
gloves, cigars, and eau do cologne."
"Then take my advice, and be nothing. Tho
only difference I can see between a gentleman
and any body else, is, that ono is idle and the oth.
er works hard. One is a useless, and the other a
tisetui, member of society. Such is the absurdity
of the opinions of the world."
"Yes, I agree with you, and would prefer he.
ing a gentleman in that respect, and do nothing,
Willey would admit me in every other; but that
they wall not do. I am in an unfortunate position."
"And will be, until your feelings become blun.

you acquiesced in my proposal, you would have
done better. As it is, I can be of no use to you;
nay, without intending an affront, I do not know
if we ounzlat to be soon together, for your decision
not tofirht your way is rather awkt,rd, as I can•

only from an error in judgment, and slot from
want of courage."

"Injure your charade', Captain Atkinson?"
'Yes, Mr. Newland, injure my character. 1

"Good bye, then, Captain Atkinson; for the
kindness you have shown me I am grateful."—
He shook my hand, and walked out of the room.
"And for having thus broken up our acquaintance,
more grateful still," thought 1, as he went down
stairs.

Such were my reflections; rind the reader must.
perceive (lint I was influenced by a state of morbid
irritability—a sense of Jhundonment which pros
trated me. I felt that I was an isolated being
without a tie in the whole world. I determined
to spurn the world as it had spurned me. To
Timothy I would hardly speak a word. I lay with
an aching headoiching from increased circulation.
I wan mad, or nenrly so. I opened (ho case of
pistols, and thought of suicide—reflectlon alone
restrained me. I could rot abandon the search
after my father. Feverish and impatient, I wish

I waited till dark, and then I sallied Fad), hardly
knowing where I went. I passed the gaining
house—l did pass it, but I returned and lest every
shilling; not, however, till the fluctuations of the
game had persuaded me, that had I had more
money to carry it on, I should have won. I went
to bed, but not to sleep; I thought of how I had
been caressed and adniried;when I wirs supposed
to be rich. Of what lISP then was the money I
now possessed? Little or none. I made up my
mind that I would either gain a fortune, or lose
that which I had. The next morning I wont into
the city, and sold nut all the remaining stock.—
To 'Timothy I had not communicated my inten
tions. I studiously evaded speaking to hint; he
MU hurt nt my conduct, I perceived, but I was a
fraid aids advice and expostulation. At night
fall I returned to the hell—played with various
success; at one time was a winner of three tunes
my capital, and ended at last in my pockets being
empty. I was indifferent when it was all gone,
nhhongh in the highest state of excitement while
the chances were turning up. The next day I
went to a house agent, and stated my wish to sell
my house, for I was resolved to try Futuna to the
last. The agent undertook to find a ready pur•
chaser, and I begged an advance, which he made,
and continued to make, until he had advanced
nearly half the value. He then found a purchaser,
(himself, as I believe ) at two-thirds of its value.
I did not hesitate, I had lost every advance made,
one after another, and was anxious to retrieve my
fortune or be a beggar. I signed the conveyance
and received the balance, fifteen hundred and filly
pounds, and returned to the apartments, no longer
' mine,about an hour. before chimer. I called Tun.
othy,and ascertaining the amount of bills due,gave
him fifty pounds, which left him about fifteen
pounds as a residue. I then sat down to my soli•
tury meal, but just as I commenced I heard a dis
pute in the passage.
"What is that, Timothy?" cried I, for I was
nervous to a degree.
"It's that fellow Emanuel, sir, who says that he
will come up."
"Yes!), I viii go up, sar."
"Let him conic, Timothy," replied I. Accord
ingly Mr. Emanuel ascended "Well, Emanuel,
what do you want with rite?" said I, looking with
contempt at the miserable creature who entered
ne lssfere, with his body bent double and his hand
lying over his back.
"I vash a little nut of breath, Mr. Newland-1

"Rather say; Mr. Emanuel, that you have heard

arid that you are afraid that you have lost your

"Leslie my monish ! —no—loshe my tousand

"Yes, hut you refused to take it, so it is net my

receive fifteen hundred pounds when 1 come into

"Your fortune, hut you nv no fortune "
"I am afraid not; and recollect, Mr. Emanuel,
that I never told you that I had."
"VIII you pay the toy monish, Mt. Newland, or

"You can't put me in prison for an.agreement,"
replied I.
"No; but I can prosecute you for a swindler."
"No, you confounded old resets!, you cannot;

word swindler.
"Veil, Mr. Neivland, if you have not de ten

The eyes of the old man were fixed upon me

At last he took the mOney, again unbuttoned
and pulled out his pocket-book, and with a trem

quitted the hell penni less. When l returned
borne I had comprised myself a little after the
drcadhil excitement which I hail been under, I
felt a cairn, and a degree of negative happiness.
I knew my late—there was no more suspense.
I sat down to reflect open what I should do. I
was to commence the world again—to sink down
at once into obscutity— info poverty; and I felt
happy. I had severed the link .between 5:11
and my former condition-1 was again a beggar,
hut I was independent—and I resolved so to he.
I spoke kindly to Timothy, went to bed. and
having nrratiged in my own mind how I should
act, I fell sound asleep. I never slept better, or
awoke more refreshed. The next morning I
packed tip my port mantesti, taking with me only
the most necessary articles; all the details of the
toilet, further than de:tidiness was concerned, I
abjured. When Timothy came in, I told him
that i was going down to Ludy de t. Lire's which
I intended to do. r Timothy was overjoyed
at the change in my manner, little thinking that
he was so soon to lose me—fur, reader, I had
made tip my mind that I would try my fortunes
slime; and, painful as I felt would be the patting
with so valued a friend, 1 was determined that I
would no longer have even his assistance or cum.
puny. I was determined to forget all that had
pa-sed, and commence the world anew. I sat
down while Timothy went out to take a place in
the Richmond coach, and wrote to him the fol
lowing letter:—
My dear Timothy—Do not think that I undervalue
your friendship, or shall ever forget your regard for
ineovlten I tell you that we shall probably never meet
again. Should fortune favor me, I trust we shall—but
of that there is little prospect. I have lost every thing;
my money is all goncony house is sold,aud all is gam
bled away. I leave you,with only my clothes in my
portmanteau and twenty pounds. For yourself, there
is the furniture.which you must sell, as well as every
other article left behind. It is all yours, and I hope
you will find means to establish yourself in some way
God bless you—and believe me always yours, and
gratefully yours, JAPHIET NEWLAND.

I arrived at Lady de Clare's. and hardly need say
that I was well received. They exPressed their de
light at my so soon coining again,and made a hundred
enquiries—but I was unhappy and melancholy, net at
my pro‘pects, for in my infatuation I rejoiced at my
anticipated beggary—but I wished to communicate
with Fleta,for so I still call her. Fleta had known
my history.for she hail been present when lhad rs-la -
led it to her mother, up to the time that I arrived in
London; further than that she knew little. I was de

I dared not trust the last part to herw hen I was pre

with Hein. She was now a beautiful creature, of be

and lovely as the bud of the moss-rose; and she was
precocious beyond her years in infelfra. I staid there
three days,and had frequent opportunities of travers
ing with her, I told her that I wished her to be ac
quainted with my whole life,and interrogated her as
to what she knew: I carefully filled up the chasms,
until I brought it down to the time at which I placed
her in the arms of her mother. "And now, Fleta,"
said I, "you have much more to dears—you will learn
that much at my departure. I have dedicated hears

"I hope that will not be the case, Lady de Clare,
for I know nobody to whom I am more devoted."
"Then,sir,recollect we are to see you very soon."
I took her ladyship by the band.and left the house.
Thus did I commence my second pilgrimage.

This is a mistake. as they will very soon find
and we know. The whole thing is a great
error in principle, and if there can be such a
thing as policy contrary to principle, it is
