The learned counsellor, the moment he heard
candid statement of the circumstances, declared,
that Percival was the most injured Of men and,
with ardency which evinced the benevolence Of
his sentiments, entered warmly into his cause. The
lawyer, who had been employed to arrest this wor-
thy young man, no sooner heard who it was with
whom he had to contend, than he protested a rea-
dness to persuade his clients grant the prisoners
release, and allow him to return to his business
but this proposition came too late.
Released he will be, and that Immediately yet
not from favor, but by right and he will recover
damages to large amount His fortune may be
restored, but where will he find compensation for
the loss of peace of mind or how can these unfeel-

the interest Of wife, and those dear pledges of con-
.jugal felicity which cement the bonds Of the mar

ceeded the bounds of prudence, for vicious habits
not easily overcome; yet he has youth on his
side, and still hatter myself he will live to become

MORAL TALES.
FRIENDSHIP CARRIED TO AN IMPRUDENr LENGTH.

With the respected father of Percval Marley, |
had long been in the habits Of intimacy; and was
on visit to the rectors, when the news of his mis-
fortunes arrived and my old friend was confined,
by fit of the govt, to his apartments, offered to
take Journey to the metropolis for the purpose of
obtaining his release. This proposal grateful
ly accepted the old gentleman declared his
diness to resign his little estate to his son but this
fortunately, had been settled upon Louisa, though
it was not to revert to her until the death of her ia
thcr-in-law. Happily, it was support for this ami
able woman and her children, and was beyond the
reach of set of harpes for could consider the
creditors in no other Hgbt-a set of wretches, who,
not satisfied with the property of man whose eve
ny action had been honorable, deprived him of Ii
6erty the greatest blessing of life.
Upon arriving in London, instantly went to the
Compiling House, and found the business was car
ried on by the clerks, for the benefit of the credi
tors to whom about eighteen hundred pounds still
remained due After having obtained the nforma-
ton wanted, and having discovered that the
ditors acted with greater rgor than the law would
allow ordered the coachman to drive with all ex-
petition to the Fleet.

expiring child, whilst Percival pacing the room

years of age, in his arms.

THE CURE FOR JEALOUSY.
But thro' the heart

s-- But thro' the heart
"Should jealousy its venom once diffuse,
IT'S then delightful misery no more,
&C But agony unmix'd, incessant gall,
&C. orodlng every thought, and blasting all
cloves paradise"
When we suffer passion and jealousy to wrest
the reins from the guidance of reason, we not UNI
frequently bring on ourselves the evils we feared,
and which would have no existence but from our
own imprudence and absurdity.
Don Salvador d'Aguilar was Castan noble
man Of great merit and accomplishments His dis
position was generous, his understanding cultivated
and refined, and his imagination lively. His pas
sions were ardent; and, when excited, too often
scarcely under the restraint of reason. Yet so
his virtues and good qualities, that he
was honoured and esteemed by all who were in
the habits of his intimate acquaintance.
He had bestowed his heart on donna Laura de
Murcia, lady whose beauty, vivacity, and merit
rendered her well deserving his affection He
loved with sincerity and aldour; but the warmth
of his temperament frequently induced him to over
step the boundaries of that humble alteration which
knights were required to pay their damsels in the
age of chiva|ry. His love, in fine, occasionally de-
generated into jealousy. He could not doubt but
she, who appeared SO amiabe in his eyes, must be

incapable OF artlculatlng word groan OF an
guish burst from my laboring bosom, which was re-
echoed by the son of my old friend, when grasping
my hand with convulsive violence, he exclaimed,
cam not endowed with greater fo,titude than the
generality of men, or would not my senses forsake
me but there is my soother, my comfort, my SUP
port 20
As he said this, his voice faltered, and clasping
round Loulsa's waist he reclined his head
upon her bosom, and actually wept like child
The apothecary at this moment entered, and in his
person recognized an old acquaintance, whom
had not for many years. He felt the pulse of
his little patient, and perceived smile Of joy il
lume his face -f'Your little angel will recover,

had frequently heard it observed, that females
were much better able to struggle with misfortune
than our sex; and now had positive proof; for
the amiable Mrs. Marley seemed no longer to feel
the weight of action, SO delighted was she at the
prospect of her child being restored. Perciyal, by
degrees, became composed and collected. The
worthy apothecary proposedrepeating the same me-
dicine to the child and with that candor which is
not generally practised by of his profession,
declared, that James, powders could alone have pre-
