"Base is the Slave That Pays.'

Asmodeus was making some revelations
the other day about prominent men in New
York who never pay their debts, and
| confess that he astonished me. Having an
intimate acquaintance with literary and
professional people generally, he dove
deep into the heart of the mystery, and the
result was that 1t was infinitely more in
teresting than the perusal of How to
Live on 81, 900 Year" or any of those
nice little, tight little brochures of i'm
practicable economy. From mis- revela-
tons it appears that there is a, certain
literary man in our town who is notorious
for never paying any bills but those which
he is positively compelled to in order to
subsist. This gentleman is received with
distinguished courtesy both at home and
abroad, but it is quite certain that an in
stant after he has grasped some great
dignitary by the hand he may hesitate to
meet the eye of his grocer. He never
flinches in his course, however; he simply
will not and does not pay. A jewelry
house had bill of thirty dollars against
him for years; no collector could obtain
the sum, and the firm disliked to institute
legal proceedings for SO trivial an amount.
At last, however, the debtor sent in
valuable clock to be repaired, and this the
firm promptly seized upon for liquidation
of the debt and retained. An even more
fragrant case is that of a distinguished
professional man belonging to one of the
best families of the State. He lives in a
handsome house, fairly encountered with
works of art and objects of vertu, but he
lived religiously up to Pistols maxim:
Base is the slave that paysp' He is

most luxurious and refined tastes; he will
buy anything-provided that immediate

choice work Of art. The host will admire

purchase it, but he feared it would be i'm
possible" the fact is have no money

imnressed by theselegance apd taste afthe
owner, cries that it does not matter; he
will call again. He calls many times
again, but if he ever obtains payment he
is a noteworthy exception. And yet my
informant assures me that the man who
perpetrates all this wrong is singularly
kind hearted, and is surrounded by de-
pendents to whom it is inferred he actually
gives money, since they are constant in
their presence. "It is possible that he
gives them all he has," suggested. But
