But alas !at the corner of a street, when he least thought of it, who -hould he run against but his master.— Fritz, whose eyes end ears were wholly erigrot.si &. by . the brilliant cortege before butt, Was eel at first aware that he had run lout of his enemy, till a short tug at one of his ears awakened his mind to the fact, but tin sootier had lie raised his • eyes to the face of his dreaded toaster, than, seized with terror, he broke away, almost leaving Ills ear behind and taking to his heels, ran blindlt font aid, without considerii•g whither he was going, till he reached the quay. But here his career was impeded Swim vessels were just 'Jutting to sea, and there was such a cuocoutse of people, and KWh u linmcade of carts and wagons, that the road was almost blocked up. Condit ding that his noisier was upon his heels, and that if he slathered his pace he should inevitably be overtaken, Fritz looked about fur an expedient; and saw tone but to leap into the nour.•st vessel and ciinceul him sell, till lie thought Ina pursuer had passed —what be was to do. afterwards, remained her future consideration. In he leapt, therefore, amongst several oilier persons, whom, had he paused to think, he might, from the similarity of their movements, nave supposed to ba also eluding the pur suit of a forncious tailor- But Fritz thought not of them, he thought only of himself; and down he dived intro tie first hole he saw, and concealed lionsell behind a bar rel. When he had lulu there for demi hall an hour, he heard a great hubbub over his head, which led him to believe that his master had discovered his retreat, awl was iiisism.g On hits beteg bunted up,a suspicion in which he was coal' tiled by frerprently thstingui,hseg, amidst the din, a vowel that ever and mom cried "Fritz!" lie therefore only lay the closer, and when eVer any one approached the place of his concealment, he scarcely ventiterd to breathe lestilie should be discovered. Pre sently, however, there was a new feature in the dilemma—the vessel began to move, and Fritz to suspect that, if he staved where lie .was• he should be in her u voy age,— This was more 01411 he had reckoned ll• pon, and he was just preparing to emerge when his coinage was quelled by the sound of `Fritz! Fritz!' which appeared to issue from the mouths of half a dozen people , at once, so lie slunk back to his hole, and suffered himself to be carried to sea.— The motion of the vessel, together with the darkness which surrounded. him, and his ant:vows fatigue mid agitation, present• ly sent him to sleep, and thus for some hours be lay, oldivoilli ()lull his troubles. But at length an inward monitor awoke luni—not his conscience, but has appetite: he found lomself ravenous, but how to set about satisfying his hunger he could not tell. He listened, lie heard the ropes and the spars straining, the (rater splashing aga i li at the sides id the vessel. and a hen vy lord pacing the dtrk over his head; but no voice culling 'Fritz.' He began to hope his master had given up the search, nod (putted the veBsl.l; so, urged by his stom ach, he resolved to creep out, and see it he could Inv his hands on something eata ble.

In the mean time, snake him walk nut his passage. So Fritz was sent before the mast, and made to ,swah the decks, help his name sake the steward, and put tits hand to everything, in short, lie had no sinecure. Still, bud as it was, he liked it better than squatting on a shop. board, ant' stitchina all day, and lie would have been tolerably contented, had it not been for the apprehension of b'•ing restored to hid roaster. However, like ma ny anticipated evils, his fears on this score were never realized. The period in ques tion was a season of war; and when they had been about a week ut dea,, Fritz was calli.d.out,,Ohis birth one morning, to help to clear the decks for a fight—they were chased by an Englishman. A hard battle then ensued; and for two hours Fritz hea.d the bulls whisthno round his head, as he ran about the deck at the cora - mend of the gunner, at whose orders, on thus occasion, he was placed; at the end of which period, the .lungfrau struck her colors to the Chantileer,.and Fritz presently fund self transferred to the deck of the English ship. Hero he was only looked upon us one of the crew of the prize, and cause (lnfinity attracted no notice whatever a mongst his captors; whilst the captain and such of the crew of the Jungfrau us sur. vived, were too much occupied with their own. misfortune to trouble themselves shout him. When the ship reached Mill to which port she was destined, either from being overlooked, or from being thought of too little importance to detain, Fritz was suffered to step ashore and walk awl whithersoever he , pleased. Ile strolled into the town, mid for some time WH9 arrius ed er,ough in looking about him, hut when he grew hungry and tired, and recollectr d that he had not a farthing in his pocket to purchase food or lodging, and that, more over, he could not speak a syllable of Eng fish, the forlorness and desolation of his situation struck him with dismay, and sit flog down on the step of a door, he began sobbing and crying in a manner -that at !meted the eyes of the passengert.,soniri Of whom inquired what lie was crying for. But Fritz, aware that he could not noike himself understood, only cried on with re doubled vigor, and ma tl em no answer. As night approached, h se gtew.worse, and he rose from his step t look about for some sort of shelter. As he wandered' through the streets, a party of officers passed on bomber k, one of whom nap• pened to drop his whip. Fr itz stepped for ward, picked it up and handed it to him.— A good turn is never lost; the poor half starved boy was thanked and kindly spoken to by the officer, Colonel Webster, who finding from his language that he was a German nod a seemingly forlorn sliaoger, ordered his servants to conduct him to the barracks; 'Kempster,' said he 'shall find out , his history for us.' Kempster, who was the master of the band, being a German, had little difficulty to extracting the whole of Fritz's adven tures; and feeling a natural interest in his little compatriot, he ufiired to tench at•d with Colimel Webster's permission. attach hint to tbe hand. This was willingly granted; Fritz was canon& ted to the care of Kcrupster, nod soon np Feared on parade in a little uniform with a triangle in his band. This was his first instrument, but he was soon quablied to handle More difficult ones; fur though he could not learn tailoring, he learnt music fast enough—so fast, that a few tears, all lanyards. win.n his friend IC empster died. he was raised to the dignity of the waster if the band. It might have been suppii-ed that Fritz bad rinw reached lii4 ulitutaium; he thilight so himself, and, perfeetly Coo, tented will) hi= hd, ite‘er lui kid tw;yenil it. But Furtune, who seemild to huve tu. ken him into her own peculiar charge, was not done with him yet. In the course of service, the regiment to which Fritz was attached was sent to Gib. (altar; and there it fell to his lot, one day to relieve two ladies from the attack of a ferocious dog. Ono was the wile, and the other the daughter, of a rich spools!) mer chant, nod Ft itz who was now a hands - orne young fellow, could not help fancying that, whilst the old lady expressed het grail hide for the service • with great volubility, the eves of the younger expressed hers in a much morn, eloquent and emphatic lan• gunge; in short, gratitude made her feel an affection for our hero, who, low lever, was ton modest and too deeply aware of the inferiority of his condition to.avow an attach piers: in return. Matters had stood thus for some time; when the Etorlish forces having attacked and taken Minorca, one of the German regime nts that bad garrisoned that volunteered into the British service, and• was to move to Gib roliar; hut to the great inconvenience of all parties, there was scarcely n Mall in it that could speak n wnrd Eoglish. Ir, this dilemma, the services of Fritz were put in requisition, and he Was ((wild so. useful as an in terpreter, that it was thoueht advisable to give lino a commission, and attach him to the German Regiment. Here, then, was our hero a commissioned officer in his Majesty's service, nod entitled to take his place in the society his mistress frequented on an equal footing. Ile had thus the ad vantage of speaking to her frequently, arid it WIN not long before they had avowed to each other their routed passion; but, alas she was rich, end Fritz had nothing but his. pay, and the father would not hear of theolhance. In this dilemma, they might nerhap4 have proposed an elopement; but Fritz livid his regiment almost as much as his mistress, and could not think of deserting his duty, and before they made up their mind us to who line of conduct they should pursue, a couple of If ansports sailed into the harbor, hinging nut a regiment which wits ordered to relieve them, whilst the. were summoned immediately to England. There was no time for pints or arrange merits, and the lovers were separated. But his old friend, the lady Fortune hav ing brought Fritz thus far, .was determined to stick by him stilt. Doubtless for the purpose of srretothing the way to Fritz's marriage with the hair Spaniard she con trived through the instrumentality of Na poleortio render the Duke of Brunswick's situation so unpleasant, that ho found it advisable to abandon his dominions, and take tefirge in England. Being a staunch ally, the duke was, immediately appointed to the command of if - British regiment, and in !oolong about fur an aid-de-camp, who should he fix upon but Fritz! A field fficer, and the aid-de-camp to the Duke of Brun-wok, was not a sou in law to be de spised; and upon a renewal of the young man's proposal, u favorable answer was re turned, and FOOll alter, the lady, accompa nied by her friends, arrived m Fogland. and gave her band to the happy Fritz,..-- It might Lave been teasonahly supposed that Fortune, by this time, toed of show ing one silo of her face, would have in. (lined to give Frit z a peep at the othe; hut no such thing. The course of events hav ing decreed that the great question was to be decided on the plains of Belgium, Fritz accompanied the Duke of Brunswick thith or, when that gallant soldier fell on the field of Waterloo. Fritz found himself in command of the regiment, a situation in which he acquitted himself so honorably, that on the restoration of the legitimate rulers of Brunswick, be was appointed the Commander. in chief of their forces—a !lost which he continued to occupy for many years, with infinite credit to himselt and advantage to his sovereign.

It may not be genearlly known that in some of our most fashionable neighbor howl% there are resorts denominated 'olub houses,' which are nightly visited by hun dreds of wealthy citizens, young and old, Tarried and singli ; eho although they may not have been table to pa% their nnieb or their tailor's bill, during the day, man rig() in the evening, to lose at the ganung table, •larger sums than would have been adequate hir such purposes. Into one of these elegantly furnished mansions I now introduce my readers.— The apartments are spacious and spleudid• Iv furnished. A sideboard laden with massive plate and groaning beneath the weigh ()I' liquors and telt eshments— the frit) ing doors are thrown open—richly cut chandeliets illumtnate both rm. RI —the anthracite is glowing in the grates—and every table is occupied with parties enga• ged in various games of chance.

'Dead !' `Yes, poor fellow, he lost nll ho wns worth ut Loron'R the betl,ro went home to his lodgings and blew out his brains!' 4le was buried this afternoon,' adds an other of the players. "Poor fellow!' exclaimed the first speak er, 'what a dovehsh fool he was though to commit suicide, had he waited only until this evening his luck might have taken a hum. I owed him a hurdred dollars, which I came this evening prepared to pay him. However Qincq he's cancelled the debt iE such a summary manner I will brag the amount.' 'l'll g' you that and a hundred better.' The gamy continued, but nothing more was said of the wretched young man who had sn lately been their companion, and whose miserable fate IP told in the forego• mg conversation. Heavy sums were lost and won—loud laughter rang through the rooms. Now flushed with success, some exulted in their good fortune—others lost the last dollar they had remaining, and cursed their unlucky stars. At the table where the conversation took place. to which I have already referred, the utmost good humor and harmony pre veiled. The players were evidently fami liar associates, on equal terms in intimacy and standing in society. They pocketed each other's money with the utmost indifference, and the sang froiji with which it was lost and wc.tl was equally remarkable. The clack struck twelve. 'Mid night,' exclaimed one.

'The others laughed, but the last speak• or maintained his gravity. 'Well, really this is amusing,' continued the young gentleman by wham the conver. suitor' was commenced; 'nothing would in duce you then to visit a grave yard at this tnne of night, 1 suppose?' 'No, 1 cuidess my weakness, or cowar dice if you choose so to call it, in this particular, and you, Ned Lawrence, would be t qually loath to do sal 'Not 1, answered Lawrence; make it orth my while, l'il go this very hour to Frank Hamilton's grave and offer to pay he's abroad, the hundred dollars he won -from rue at cribbage.' will bet you filty'dollars you'll do no such thing.'
