ing for vice had completely hardened his heart,
and readily finding the means Of gratifying pro-
pcnsity for gaming, he paid not the slightest attcn-
ton to the cntrcatics of his friend.
Disease, the natural effect of Erentous,,ess a.
length prevented Gordon from following his vicious
pursuits, and incompetence had so completely weak
cncd his constitution, that he wholly unable to
resist its attack. The ply sc;sn who attended him
considered it duty to apprize him of his approach
ing fate when, horror-struck at the thought, Of
dissolution, he mplored them to preserve his life
For how (said hc) shall dare to appear in t.lc
presence Of my Maker with such a load of initIuItv
upon my head Oh, Pcrci,al how have | rcquit-
ed your generosity Wretch that am, have in
,olvcd YOU in debt :" No rcproachcs escaped the
lips of the generous Mancy indeed, he then knew
not the extent of the injuries he had sustained but
scarcely had death closed the ewes of his imp,ltnt
partner, when bills were presented to an enormous
amount.
Unjust as 1t ma. appear, that the innocent should
suffer for the guilty, yet it happened in the pre-
sent case: for the deed of partnership was such,
as to subject PercNal to the payment Of all his part
hcf debts. II tins misfortune had extended TO
the objects of his Affection he would have support
cd with for,itud and frmness of mind but when
he reflected that by his mprldcncc Cor rather bv
his too strong friendship he had involved bclov-
ed wife and children in ditr IS, his grief became 50
violent, that ii produced an ;,,rmn" eff ct upon
his health
Louisas father had p,i>l the debt Of nature ttv
months before this unfortunate partnership took
place. He mprudcn:, joined in bond with his
wife's brother, and had the whole amount of it to
pay which proved so deeply upon hi, spirits, tina,
it was supposed to have shortened his DAYS Not
outstanding this loss, he left Pcrci,al between six
and seven thousand pounds. but, relying upon his
honour and affection, settled part of that sum
upon lis child. From this unfortunate proof of CON
fdcnce, the amiable Young woman was destitute of
all support, for Gorlon's debts amounted to more
than his partner ovth; and the creditors fam
cyng he had concealed part OF his property, nhu-
manly threw the innocent victim of generosity into

tectiy acquainted with the tenor of the will Her
Jewels and furniture, which were at her own disposal,
were all lett to her own relations and Charles not

overwhelmed with load of debt
Percivai was no sooner made acquainted with
thus circumstance than on the wings of friendship

had entirely neglected all commercial business,
with unprecedented generosity offered him share
IN his own concern. "Ife, my dear Charles" said
he, "you will allow, is more valuable than t,r.u,,e

Astonlshed at such an unexpected proof of friend

and whose society he had stunned, the rcpcntant
Charles was incapable of replying but tears of grs-
