would break out into the most awful alter

of reason and boldly call upon 'the devil

During such paroxysms. he would use

youth that was dying. She says Il said

A HORRIBLE DEATH BED.

| a young man native of neighborinl
lcity, who succeeded to fortune of S 90, !,

ble and wreIched condition, in one Of the
novels in lane towards Corler's Hook
Ills name was Charles T., leaving ou
the latter part, out Of respect to his wor.
thy relatives, several Of whom have occu-
pied respectable position in their coun.
Tys service.
Charles became heir to an immense
fortune on the death of an uncle who
doated on him i; he received an excellent
education, classical and scientific
was introduced into good society on en-
tering the world, and, bid fair to be
come one Of its brightest ornaments. Al
the age of nineteen, he went to Europe
travelled IN England and France. IL
Paris he fell into all tho dcbuuchercs o.
that gay capital, he los, u great portion o
bis fortune in play he spent another slice
Ia the most horrible licenliousness, and
he returned to his native land few years
ago, shattered in constitution, in finances
in morals, in every thing.
Some two years ago he became COLI
nected with worthless female in Phlla-
delphia, who had formerly been the wife
of respectable mechanic. But her pass
ions getting the better Of her reason, she
left her husbands house, took an apart
ment OF her own, and Charles BET anne a
constant attendant upon her person and
her qualifications. This woman with fine
person, some elegance Of manners, little
or no education, was mercenary, selfish
aud extravigant. She found that Charles
had yet some property left she insinuat-
ed herself in has good gfaces, she per-
suadcd him to furnish her house in Ran
son street, w0 think It was, and here she
began business in that Infamous profess
ion which is absolutely winkod at by the
magistracy Of every city in the Christian
world. Mirrors, chandeliers, carpets,
and all kinds ofthe most elegant furniture
were procured at the expense of Charles
She continued TO keep tho youth in a con-
linual round of dissipation, ,chumpagne, sup
pers by night, drives * excursions by day +,
theatres, private danes, parties among her
cOterie, and Il general round Of pleasure
and extravlgance.
