Desperation.
The following is a passage from the ;
laughable tale of "Desperation," ope '
of flic rich articles which arc ein- '
braced in the literary remains of the '
late Willis (iraylord Clarke. It is '
only necessary to premise that the
author is a Philadelphia student,'who

where after tarrying a day cr
two, he finally, at the heel of a grand
dinner, "bmnc solus" in the pr' irate j
apartment, franked with abundant
Champagne and Burgundy, resolves
to disclose all to the landlord. Summoning
h servant, he said:
lAsk the landlord to step up to my
room, and bring his bill.1

and shortly after his master appeared.
He entered with a generous

just then, was credit.

The landlord turned all colors.
'YVhone do you live, and how?'

Philadelphia.'
His eyes flashed with angry disappointment.
'1 t:;e how it is, mister, my opinion
is that you are a black-Jog. \ ou do
not know where you home is ; you
begin with Washington and then
drop it io'r Philadelphia. You must
pay your bill.?

There wore no words. lie arose
deliberately seized my hat, and my
only inexpressibles, and walked down
stairs.
Physicians say that two- excitements
can't exist at the same time
in one system. External circnm
stances drove away, almost immediately,
the confusion of my brain.
I rose and looked ou of the window.
The snow w^s descending as
I drummed on the pane. What was
I to do? An unhappy lmns euloties
in a strange city ; no money, and
slightly inebriated. A thought struck

I dressed immediately, drew on my
hoots, over my fair drawers, not unlike
small clothes; put on my cravat,

from my trunk jauntly over my forehead:
and flinging my fine long mantle
gracefully about me, made my
way through the hall into the street.

Business and preparation went on. '

opposite the state room door. ,
1 lie clerk hearing an iinusal stir in j
tlie cabin, opened his office door, and !
looking down the cabin, spied ihe , '

Royal Majesty! lie recognised Ilerr *
Dnesbacli, but did not relish the ap|
jiearance of Col. Alexander ! Still |
ne did not !cel like ordering the par- j y
ty ashore. He felt a repugnance to
that undertaking and concluded to al- j
low things to take their wonted j
course. 11 err unlocked his state '
door, and His Majesty, at a J
