FEMALE CHARACTER.

It's doubtful whether the Annals Of Romantic Adj
venture furnish parallel to the enterprise and
heroism of the lady noticed below, who seems to
have discarded all the efieminacy and timidty
tural to the tender sex, and to have imbibed the
spirit and feelings of the most adventurous of man
kind.

ing, for vice had completely hardened his heart,
and readily finding the means of graft wing pro-
pensity for gaming, be paid not the slightest atten
ton to the entreaties of his friend.
Disease, the natural effect of RIGHTEOUSNESS, at
length prevented Gordon from following his vicious
pursuits and intemperance had SO completely weak
ened his constitution, that he was wholly unable to
resist its attack. The physician who attended him
considered it duty to apprlze hin of his approach
ing fate; when, horror-stluck at the thoughts Of
dissolution, he mplored them to preserve his life.
&C For how (said he) shall dare to appear in the
presence of my Maker with such load of iniquity
upon my head Oh Percival how have requt-
ed your generosity Wretch that am, have in
volvcd you in debt" No reproaches escaped the
lips of the generous Marley; indeed, he then knew
not the extent of the injuries he had sustained but
scarcely had death closed the eyes of his mprudent
partner, when bills were presented to an enormous
amount.
Unjust as it may appear, that the innocent should
suffer for the guilty, yet SO it happened in the pre-
sent case ; for the deed of partnership was such,
to subject Percival to the payment Of all his part
ner's debts If this misfortune had not extended to
the objects of his Affection he would have support
ed it with fortitude and irmness of mind but when
he reflected that by his imprudence Cor rather by
his too strong friendship he had involved below
ed wife and children in Distress his grief became SO
violent, that it produced alarming effect upon
his health.
Louisa's father had paid the debt of nature a few
months before this unfortunate partnership took
place. He imprudently joined in bond with his
wife's brother, and had the whole amount of it to
pay; which proved deeply upon his spirits that
it was supposed to have shortened his days. Not
withstanding this loss he left Percival between SIX
and seven thousand pounds but, relying upon his
honour and affection, settled no part of that sum
upon his child. From this unfortunate proof of con-
idence, the amiable young woman destitute of
all support, for Gordons debts amounted to more
than his partner worth and the creditors fan
cying he had concealed part of his property, nhu-
manly threw the innocent victim of generosity into
gaol. TO BE CONTINUED.

ing curricle that could be bought Few couples
were more completely the ton than MIR. and Mrs
Gordon. They resided, it is true, in the same house,
but never nterfered with each others occupations
for the lady did not take the trouble of endeavorng
to regain his heart.
The daily intercourse between Percival and
Charles gradually subsidized; for, as the former
thought 1t duty incumbent upon him to remon-
6trate and advise the latter soon gave him fewer OPP
poruntes, and at length all appearance of friend
slip ceased. 1t terminated, however, but appear
o8ce ior Percval still felt warmly interested for the
trend OF his youth, and resolved to cynce the SIN
certy of his attachment if ever an opportunity pre-
scented itself; for Charles, impatient to secure that
fortune which alone had induced him to enter into
the jonture which Mrs. Malaga possessed, was to-
tally Ignorant Of its revertng to her husbands fami-
" after her decease. Frequently had Charles wish
ed for his Wiies dissolution, wholly ignorant that he
should have reason to deplore that event. but
when it occurred, he was soon made sensible of his
folly, as her former husbands relations were per-
tectly acquainted with the tenor of the will Her
Jewels and furniture which were at her disposal,
were all left to her own relations, and Charles not
only found himself stripped of every comfort, but
overwhelmed with load of debt.
Percival was no sooner made acquainted with
this circumstance, than on the wings of friendship
he few to Harley street and knowing that Charles
had entirely neglected all commercial business,
with unprecedented generosity offered him a share
in his own concern. "Life my dear Charlcs,'' said
ne, "you will allow, is more valuable than tor'u7e
mine never forget that Yo1s bre8erued AS tribute
Of gratitude, then, allow me to make YOU some re-
turn"
Astonishedat such an unexpected proof of friend
ship from the being whose counsel he had rejected
and whose society he had stunned, the repentant
Charles was incapable of replying but tears of gra-
tltude expressed more than words, The lodging
which he had formerly occupied was again engag-
ed for him. Without the slightest regret he took
leave of his friends at the West end of the town
and the people to whom he was indebted, knowing
the high character of his partner agreed to receive
the amount Of their bills by instruments, payable in
four years
Such generous proof of friendship and attach
ment, one would have imagined must have made
al impression upon the most insensible heart but
the allurements OF vice were too strong for mind
Ike Gordon's to resist them and though for about
six months he devoted his attention to business he
then freqUcnted his old haunts and those sums
winch ought to have been paid to his different Gre
dtors were squandered away upon dice and cards.

Her conversation was extremely interesting to

the conduct of the Arab Emir who had become
her friend, and whose character she could not suf-
