The commonwealth. (Wilmington, Del.) 1858-18??, 1863-09-30

for all gentlemany expenses. Grieved IN
deed would he have been, could he have known
that Master Francis squandered these sums
at theatres, balls, clubs, and PAGES OF amnse-
ment which unfortunately tempt the unwary
at every corner while the tradesmen whom
he patronized, rejoiced in exorbiant charges
against the young Southerner who spent
money so freely, that he must be rich;
Three years had passed swiftly away, and
| Francis Peyton was about to leave the
| University when he received intelligence of
his fathers death, by which he became sole
heir to fortune which, in this country is
rarely cquallcd, and which appeared to him
exhaustlcss as the waters Of the ocean.
Even his sorrow for the death Of parent
to whom he owed so much, was diminished
and almost lost in the magnitude and splen-
dor of the visions which opened before him.
He felt dazzled, bew:blered, Ike the young
eagle who. accustomed only to the dmness
of the forrest, is suddenly pushed out into
the full blaze of the meridian SUM- Seizing
his hat, he rushed forth to Henry Russell,
that by communicating his feelings he might
at least relieve himself of their intensity.
As he trod the streets he felt like the phr
nix rising from the ashes of former exi'-
tencc, with wings new plumed, which he
longcd to try in regions Of plea nre yet UNI
explored.
