A Guilty Conscience.

Consciences doth miiko cowards of ua all.—

Hamlet. OXE night, niany years ago, there was a quarrel in fl London gaining house between two gentlemen of uood position. Probably this was not the only quarrel on the ni^lit in .jiinstion, but it was followed by conse tiuunceßwliich it may possibly be interesting 10 hear.

The scene was a large, scantily furnished, smoke-begrimed room, in a house which had once known more prosperous times, situated in a lane leading oil' Fleet-street. The per- EOnages concerned in the affair were Mr Mostyn and Mr Vivian, landed proprietors both, who, a few years previously, had known each other at the University, and having now quitted the country to partici pate in the gaieties of the metropolis, had met on this particular evening at the '• Golden Fleece " gambling house. Till midnight they played in tolerable- good humour; but then, both being excited with wine, a dispute arose, and each began to accuse the other of unfair play. High words passed ; " cheat" and " .sharper" led to worse epithets, till at length both rose from the tabl-, and rushed lit each other with their swords drawn. Several rapid thrusts were made, and before any of the company in the room could part them, both were wounded. The wound * appeared to be serious, for neither evinced any inclination to renew the combat. Una friend ran in haste for a niigion, while another set out for sedan-chairs; and before the former arrived, both the sufferers had been borne away in the hitter to their respective homes. All this was clone as speedily us possible, for fear that a watchman gettiug'wind of it, might assemble a number of his fellows sufli cient to carry off the duelists to Newgate. It was discovered that the. stabs which the two gentlemen bad received were not mere scratches : indeed, so severe were they, that the doctors summoned in each case con sidered their patients to have but a small chance of recovery. Such being the case, it is not surprising that a rumoar eaiue d cur reucy among the patrons of the '' Golden Fleece " that Mostyn and Vivian had died of of their injuries. The doctors' prognostica tions, however, proved fa'se -as not unfre quently has proved the case since ; both re covered, though slowly. When at length they arrived at. the convalescent stage, they were removed to (heir country residences, Mr Mostyn to Cambridge shire, Mr Vivian to Wilts. Here under the beneficial eiFects of fresh air, suitable diet and cartful nursing, they completed their restoration to health. ]5y some ineanH or oilier, each of them was haunted by the idea that he lidd killed the other. Hcport .strengthened the notion till it deepened into conviction. .So the first thought of both, when able to travel, was— " How can I avert the punishment hanging over mo? Some plan must be attempted by which 1 can escape justice." Mr Vivian determined to leave the country ; so; putting a few necessaries into a portmanteau, and leaving; bis estate in the care of a trustworthy bailiff, he travelled in disguise to Dover. The packet left at nine in the morning, and by three the same after noon ho. was comfortably seated at dinner, fatigued in body but much relieved in mind, in the small" parlour of a Calais hotel. The meul concluded, he rang for the host. " I want," eaid he, on the appearance of that polite individual, " to travel to Paris, and perhaps after that to go on lo Italy. Now, bow shall 1 best set about it ?" " Monstaur," began the boat, with a com plimentary bow, " can iiupect the carriages 1 have in my ccachyard, and doubtless will lind there on J to his liking." The coaehyard was accordingly visited. There was a variety of good, bad, and in different, to chuO'C from. It was customary then for Calais hotel-kcepera to sell car riages to travellers for the journey to Paris or the Giand Tour, and on their return tore purchase tLcm ; ko that the vehicles went again and uguin the same road till &t last they got quite beyond work. The inspection did not occupy much time. A ten-guinea bargain was soon c truck, and Mr Vivian was the possessor of a tolerably good looking chaise to hold. two. A postillion and horses were then hired, and next morn ing he commenced his journey towards the French capital.

As fortune would have it, the horses were young and restive, while the postillion was old and impatient; so, natuially, it was not long before they fell out A few miles were parsed pleasantly enough ; aud Mr Vivian, drawing the taffeta curtains close, and lean ing back on the cushions, indulged in a nap. Uiit presently one of the horses evinced a foudncs.s for standing upright on hia hind legs; while the other preferred to move sideways, rather tiinn with his hoad first. After the manifestation of these two vices, progress was but slow, notwithstanding the strong language iv which Mr Vivian in dulged, aud the blows of the postillion's whip. Matters at length came to a crisis, for on the top of a steep hill both animals took fright at some linen drying on a hedge, and started of!'at break-neck speed. It seemed as possible to arrest a whirl-wind, as to stop the«e two affrighted steed". They scarcely (■coined to touch the ground, and the car riage literally bounded over the rough stony road after them. The bottom was reached in eafely, however, but there the chaise came to grief. Coming in contact with a sign-post, the boaj separated from the front wheels, leaving the former upside down on the bank, and the latter following the horses, which increased, rather than diminished, their pace. The old postillion still bestrode one of the horses, which were quickly o'lt of sight; so nothing remained for Mr Viviau but to un strap his portmanteau from the back of the chaise, hoist it on his shoulder and make for the nearest village. This w?s Montruil, about a couple of miles further on the road ; and he reached it in the course of an hour, to find that the horses had been stopped, and were at that moment in the inn stable.

" I'm afraid Monsieur will have to stay here all night," said the postillion, entering the inn parlour, cap in hand, where Mr Vivian was seated, " for I find there is no coach or chaise to go in." Mr Vivian was loud in complaint, but, ascertaining what the postillion bad said was correct, made up his mind to accept the inevitable quietly, and though it was but mid-day,' demanded to he shown his bed room. He was taken up a dark winding staircase into an upper-room the window of which overlooked the stable-yard at the back of the house. It was a large chamber divided into two smaller ones by a partition about nine feet high, which left some four feet between itself and the ceiling. Mr Vivian shut the door, threw himself on the bed, and drew the curtains to, having left orders to be called at dusk.

Now, it happened that Mr Mostyn had also bethought himself of a continental journey till such time as tho murder in the gaming house had been forgotten. He, too, travelled to Dover, and crossed over to Calais the very next day after his supposed victim bad made the voyage. He stopped but an hour in Calais for refreshment, and proceeded the same night on his journey to Taris.

A few hours after Mr Vivian's accident, jutt as the sun was settiug, Mr Mostyu's coach diove up to the tavern at Montiuil. Here he was soing to stay for the night, and on alighting at the door, requested to be accommodated with abedrooni forthwith. He was shown to one oveilooking the front of the house, with a partition, not nearly reach ing to the ceiling, ruuuing across it. In fact, ou the other fide of that partition, Mr Vivian waa then lying asleep. Mr Mostyn oidered dinner to be brought to him there, and said he should not be down auy more that night. The twilight was deepening intodarkness when Mr Vivian was called. He put his dress, somewhat disarranged in his slumbers, into decent older, and went down stairs. There were several persons in the inn parlour when he entered, gathered round the logs blazing on the hearth. Their appearance showed that they belonged to the peasant class; and. they politely made room by the fire for the English gentleman. The convcrsaUon had been brisk before his entrance, but from reserve or timidity, which the presence of a stranger usually inspires, scarcely a word was uttered while he was eating his supper. When at length he took out his pipe, brought his chair nearer the chimney-corner, and ordered wine for the company, they began to talk freely once more. " And, as I was saying," said an old man, who occupied the cosiest place, and who ap peared to have been entertaining the others with some narrative, " In that room the villain murdered the duke."

He pointed with his finger to the room overhead, part of which would that night form Mr Vivian's sleeping apartment. " What did ho do next ?" asked oue of the listeners under his breath.

''He rifled the dead man's pockets aud valise, and decamped in the darkness out of the window with all the valuables," replied the historian.

The hearers seemed awed into silence now, and even started fearfully at the sound the wind made in the chimney. But the old iran had not quite finished yet:

" There's a red patch on the iloor to this day, which no soap will wash out; and they say "—ho now sank his voice to a whisper-- <: that room is haunted !"

This was the climax : the effect on the audience was visible at once. Very little more was said during the rest of the even ing, they all seemed tongue-tied. Some of the younger ones hardly dared look across the room, for fear their gaze might eucoun

ter the ghost of the murdered nobleman-1 The English stranger appeared as much, disturbed as any. He said nothing aloo.l but fidgetted about in his chair, mutterin^ now and again complaints against his r*Jf fortune. tta

About ten o'clock the villagers beean to dispciec to their homes. One by r they went cur, till at length all had con? leaving only the English traveller, tuoliw' and a servant or two. Eleven o'clock struck thehostwaa loninguncomfortablyinhischai' the fire was burning low, but still Mr Vivia was not ready to retire to rest : the truth was he was.afraid to face the haunted cham ber. At half past eleven, with a great effort" he screwed up his courage to the sticking point, called for a candle, mounted thestaiiji and entered his bedroom. He proceeded merely to lake off his boots, and, complete dressed as he was, to throw himself on th bed, leaving the candle still burning Sleep refused to come to his °eyelid. Every flight noise startled him ereatlv Presently lie heard a sound. It was n I mere funcy : it was not in the stablc-yar^ there was, beyond a doubt, something moving on the other side of the partition He sat up in bed to listen, and he conlj hear his heart beat, so violently did it throh against his ribs for terror. Fear gave him determination ; he stood up on tbe bel and looked over the partition. ."' a Mr Mostyn had been sitting up W writing letters, and now was leieurelfr putting on his nightcap preparatory to un dressing and-retiring to bed. H o had hi* back towards the partition, and was in!* tying the strings under his chin. " But Mr Vivian saw, not Mr Mostyn but Mr Mostyu'e ghost as he thon»ht in m? terror, and one glance was enough. "Witt out stopping to put on his boots, hia over" coat under his arm, and the candle in kjl hand, he leaped out of the room ana, down the stairs. The landlord was just abonf going to bed, the servant?, had all g One on before, but stay in that iiouse Mr Vivian would no longer. He threw down a couple of guineas on the table before the astonished host, and ordered a hoise immediately, Baying that urgent business compelled him to ro 6a S Amiens that very night. He would hear <S no refusal; all excuses and entreaties on the landlord's part were unavailing; and wafer moments a horse, one of the two brutes which had jeopardized his life the previous afternoon, was ready at the door. H e fl rw on the postillion's heavy jack-boots, bo r . rowed the postillion's heavy- whip, (un mounted. U uder the skilful management*)! an experienced rider like himself, thevoune horse bore him on waul with the speed of the wind.

At the first streak of dawn the next morii; ing, lie was clattering over the pavement'ai Amiens. He reined in his steed at the.fiftt inn he came to, roused the etill slumbering household, and demanded toeee the -lanf. lord. <'■■■:■ i'lw'ii

That distinguished personage — 111} dressed, sleepy, and Burly-at lastrnadehLS appearance downstairs. Standing in 1 \is front of the doorway was a man enveloped in a heavy overcoat, his legs lostin an immense pair of jack-boots, his hat pressed down oil his head almost touched his eyebrows; tbi mud on his clothes, the blood on his span and his heavy whip told of hard riding. Hi! iirst question was a curious one. " I have been frightened half ont'of >ni* senses to-night by a ghost in my bedroom* 1 want a room here. Have you one that's not haunted!" -■■:'«

" Haunted I" cried the landlord, amatej and alarmed, for he thought he had a mad man to deal with—" Heaven forbid !"'■ (

" Don't be alarmed," said the early viwtof, perceiving the host's perplexed and frieht ened look, " I know what I'm talting atioiit, I must have an apartment here; my Ing. gage will reach here presently." He drew forth his purse as lie said this, and though the host still had some doubts at to his sanity, his fears were considerably allayed by the sight of the money. Mr Vivian was ushered into an upper apartment, and he took care there was io partition across this one. He ordered breakfast, and after looking carefully is neath the bed, in all the cupboards, and behind every curtain, with a sigh of relief he seated himself to await the arrival of the refreshment. Having taken as muchashe needed, he.strodeupand do wn the room, turn ing over in hiw mind the adventures Of the night, waiting for the arrival of the postil lion, who, he expected, would follow oil I with the other horse aud the portmanteau, I

The church clocks of Amiens had chimed noon ere the postillion arrived, aud Mr Vivian had grown very impatient. : tie portmanteau was soon unlocked, atid.i change of garments effected, and then hs set out to see the sights of the place. r The only object interesting to him was the cathedral, and he wandered nbouiytetamd edifice the whole afternoon. He •was jtijt thinking of returning to his ion, when a large picture in one of the chap«ls, repre senting the Descent from the Cross, attracteH; his attention. It washy one of the old' masters ; and, as Mr Vivian was a letter and amateur critic of the fine arts, he stood for some minutes, holding his hat with his hands behind him, admiring its beauties. '. Mr Mostyu L;id that morning come on. from Montruil to Amiens, and paid a visit to the cathedral in the course of the after noon. :lt happened that he Btopped at tni same moment to gaze at the same picture; but noticing something familiar in the dress of the other spectator, looked a little closer to see if he knew him. He recognised hia old friend and his old enemy, Vivian, in stantly, but could Ecarcely believe his eyes. " Recovering from his surprise, he clapped Mr Vivian on the shoulder with—

" So, you're not dead, old fellow I" The supposed dead man turned round at this extraordinary greeting, and felt almost ready to sink to the ground with fright and amazement. Was it Mostyn himself, or Mostyn'a apparition that confronted him! The heartiness ot the slap went far to con vince him that it was the former and not the latter; and he slowly collected his scattered thoughts, picked up his hat which had fallen from his grasp, and said, in a terrified whisper— "Dead? No, but nearly. Why, Mostyn! did you not die ? I saw your ghost last night atMontruil." , "Die? Not I! You saw not my ghost, ray dear fellow, but me, at Hoatruil 1" said Mr Mostvn. lauohin

Mr Vivian comprehended the state of affairs at once, and recovering something of his usual spirits held out his hand with— : "I'm really thankful you're .aim, Mostyn ! We're murderers no longer.". /■ "Providentially, no!" replied,- Mr Mostyn; and, all animosity forgotten,arm in-arm, the two left the cathedral. Their ancient friendship returned, and they supped at tne same table that night, and then went the whole tout through France and Italy together, as jovial as qnjy those who have had their consciences re- : lieved of a great load, can ever be., . .■
