THE ANONYMOUS LETTER.
To write an anonymous letter is ungentlemun
ly : ofthat there can be no doubt —nny, more—
it is mean—dastardly—skulking-deprnved! But ■
what could I do? Colonel Plinth was about to
marry hit cook
To write on anonymous letter is degrading, to
say the least; it would require the skill of a
Sophist to render it justifiable—perhaps! and yet
when Colonel Plinth was going to marry his
cook
A men—. perfect Saracen of a woman be
hind his back ; and he a man of nice honor—
who had gained golden lamels at Seringapatam
—an Aid-de-camp to Sir David Rail'd—my
friend! The intelligence had come like a thuu
der-bolt.
To write an anonymous letter, except under
the most imperative circumstances, is tinques
tionably atrocious. I felt that, even posited as
I was,—with the most benevolent intentions,—
conscience —my conscience, as a gentleman and
an officer, would hesitate to approve of it. I
paused—l determined to weigh the matter well ;
but tire conviction fell upon me like an avalan
che, that not a moment was to lie lost!—Colonel
Plinth was on the eve of marrying his cook—
Rehecca Moggs! And he my brother-in-law
—the widow ed husband of my sainted sister—a
K. C. 11.—a wearer of four medals, two crosses,
and the osder of the golden fleece—a man who
had received the thanks of Parliament—the writ
ten approbation of my Lord Clive—two freedoms
in gold boxes!—a man who, had he nobly fell
on the ramparts ofTippoo’s capital, would have
been taken home in rum, and buried in St. Paul's.
His fragment— his living remains— (for lie pos
sessed only one organ of a sort—having lost a
leg, an arm, an eye and a nostril)—had resolved
on what I considered a sort of demi-post-muriem
match, with—what ?
A blows?, underhung menial, whose only
merit consisted in cooking mulligatawny, and
rubbing with a soft flat palm, the wounded ancle ■
of his partially efficient leg;—the offspring of \
Sepony pioneer, whom my lovely and accom- ,
plished sister had taken from the breast ot her 1
dead mother (the woman—a camp-follower—re- |
ceived an iron ball in her brain from one of Tip- i
poo's guerilla trodps in the jungle)—one whom
Evadne had brought up, with maternal care, in ;
her kitchen;—a scullion !—And such a one to be
Colonel Plinth's wife—to take the place ofEvad
ne ! Good God !
To write an anonymous letter is rather revolt- 1
ing; much may be said against it; it is oue>
dernier resort : still it has its advantages—and j
why neglect them? Had Colonel Plinth not I
been what he was—were he but a casual ac- |
qunintance, or a mere friend—then indeed
But lie was my brother-in-law—my brother in
arms—in a word Colonel Plinth.
llad he been a man who would listen to reason, *
who was open to conviction—to whom one might :
venture to speak—why really
But he was as hot as curry; yet not deficient
in sense; bat dreadfully opinionated—tetchy—
easily susceptible ol feeling himself insulted—
careful ofkeeping his pistol-case in such a state i
as to be ready at a moment’s notice—a being in- ‘
flamed in body, soul and complexion, by the spi- !
ces and sun of the burning East.
To remonstrate with him would have been
absurd; lie would have cut me down with his j
crutch : lie had amassed three thousand a year.
Coder such circumstances, concsious of his in
fatuation, I ceased to waver; the end sanctified
the meanj, and I wrote him an anonymous letter, j
She, of course, would make a point of having
children—and then where were my expectations?
Evadne, my sister, had never been a mother: ■
the colonel was the only Plinth in the universe; *
• nd. posited as I was—Evadne being the link. 1
naturally had expectations.
To sav nothing of his being nine years my
senior, he was a wreck—a fiery wreck, full of ;
combustibles, burning gradually down to the
water’s edge.
The sun of iiis happiness, would, as I felt, set
for oyer, the moment he in-nried such a crea
ture as Moggs—innately vulgar, repulsive, double :
chinned, tumid, protuberant—
Social festivity was every thing to Colonel
Plinth: but who would dine with him if his ci
devant cook were to carve ? Evadne's adopted ;
Larry the trumpeter's love ? 1 could’nt.
I herefore, under a sense of overwhelming du
ty to Colonel Plinth, I wrote him an anonymous
letter.
Every precaution was taken; the hand was
disguised; the paper such as Iliad never used ;
and, to crown all, I dropped the important docu
ment in a distant and very out of (lie way post
office.
Conscious of perfect security; animated by
the course I had espoused, I played away upon
him, from my masked battery, with ptodigious
vehemence. Reserve was out of the question ;
in an anonymous letter, the writer, ol course,
speaks out ; this is its advantage. I took a rap
id view of his achievements; 1 recalled the ac
complished Evadne to his mind's eye; I con
trasted her with his present intended : Larry the
trumpeter figured in, and the forcible expres
sion as to Caesar's wile was not forgotten. I re
buked, I argued, I ridiculed, I scorned; I ap
pealed to his pride, I mentioned his person. I
bade him consult a chcval glass, and ask hirnself
if the reflection were that of a would-be bride
groom, I told him how old he was—what the
Indian army would think—in short, the letter
carried upon the face of it the perfect conviction
of a thirty-two pounder. Here and there I was
literally ferocious-
I dined alone that day, and was taking my
wine in the complacent consciousness of having i
done all in niy power, when Colonel Plinth i
knocked. Os course X knew his knock :it was
always violent; but on this occasion rather less
so than usual. 1 felt flurried : he ascended, my
accurate ear detected a strange fooistep on the
stair. Hastily pouring out and gulpliing down a
bumper, I contrived to rally before my friend en
tered.
Commonly his countenance was turbid—bil
lowy— rufous—the red sea in a storm now it
was stony—pale—implacable :he was evidently
while hot with wrath. His eye—usually lurid as
that of a Cyclops at the forge —was cold—clear
—icy; his look froze me—l had seen him thus
before—in the breach at Seringapatarn.
His salute was alarming courteous : he begged
leave to introduce a friend-Baron a
noble dwede in the Prussian service. Never be
fore had l beheld such a martinetwhere could
Plinth hav* picked him up ?
The Baron, in very good English, expressed
bis concern at making so valuable an acquaint
ance as that of Major Mocassin under such infeli
citous circumstances. Colonel Plinth had been
insulted : but as 1 had so long been his most val
ued friend—as we had fought and bled on the
same belcJs—as those arms (his right and my left)
which had been so often linked together, were
mouldering, side by side, in the same grave —as
I was his brother-in-law, Colonel Plinth w ould
accept of the amplest possible apology-.—with
any other man than Major Mocassin. Colonel
Plinth would have gone to extremities at once.
1 was petrified during this speech; but at its
conclusion some sort of an ioquiry staggered
from my lip*.
Baron did not understand
I declared myself io Le in the same predica
menl: would lie be so good as to explain 1
lu reply, the Baron hinted that ! must be con
scious of having wiitren Colonel Plinth a letfer.
Fearing that Plinth's suspicions had been n
roused, and that this was a ruse to trap me
into a confession —renv'inbcri ng my precautions
| —and feeling sure that nothing could, hy any j
possibility, be In ought home to me, unless I turn- i
jed traitor to myself—l denied the imputation
point blank ! Indeed, what else could I do ?
Colonel Plinth uttered an exclamation of bit
ter contempt, and hobbled towards the door.
Baron Cahooz handed me bis card: nmbing
further could be done:—he hoped the fiend
whom I might honour on the occasion would see
him as early as possible, in order to expedite the :
necessary arrangements.
I made a last effort. Advancing towards the
door, where Plinth stood, I begged to protest that
I was mystified —that he must belabouring un
der a mistake.
II A mistake!” shouted he in that tremendous
tone, which fora moment had once appalled the
tiger-hearted Tippoo—"A mistake, Major .Mo
cassin ! There's no mistake, sirrah! Will you
deny your own hand writing ?”
So saying he threw the letter in my face and
retired, followed hy Cahooz—
In another moment the veil was torn asunder.
Having never before attempted an anonymous!
letter, and acting under the influence of confirm- ‘
ed habit, 1 had concluded the fatal epistle, w ith
out disguise, in mv customary term:—” Yours, j
ever, John Mocassin ! !”
NOTE.—The foregoing paper was drawn up
and sent to his cousin in Kentucky hy Major Mo
cassin, a few hours after Colonel Plinth and Ba
ron Cahoo - /, had quilted him. On the inside of
the envelope appears th&following :— ** ’Tis now
midnight—Rear Admiral Jenkinson has settled
every thing with the Baron, to their mutual satis
faction ; we are to he on the ground by six in the
morning. If I fall ”
After considerable research we have discover
ed two announcements in the public prints which
form valuable appendages to Major Mocassin’s
(document. The fust extract is from a London
1 journal published in 1819, the second from a Bath j
paper of two years later date.
No. I Yesterday at his own residence in
I Wimpole Sr., by special licence. Colonel Plinth,
i K. C. B. to Rebecca Louisa Moggs, a native of
Masulipatam. The Gallant Colonel went thro’
’ the ceremony with his only remaining arm in a
sling,—having a few hours before exchanged 1
shots—both of which took effect—with Major
Mocassin.”
No. 2. —“ The busy tongue of fame reports
that a Gallant Major, who served with distinc-
I lion, and lost an arm, under Sir David Baird in
I *he East Indies, is about to lead to the altar the
dashing relict and sole legatee of a brave and af
fluent brother officer who recently died at Chel
tenham, A mutual attachment is supposed to
have been long in existence; for the bridegroom
j elect fought a duel on the lady’s account with her
late husband, on the very morning of the mar- j
riage. Pecuniary motives may perhaps have in- !
fluenced the fair one in giving her hand on that
occasion to the Gallant Major’s more fortunate
j rival.” A. \V. A. j
Singular Phenomenon. —A friend lias favored
us with the following extract from a pnvnte jour
nal kept during a voyage from this country to
Madeira, and thence to Calcutta,
j “ About midnight ivo were roused from our
berths and desired to repair on deck. We did
so; and what a scene presented itself* Eacli ,
one of us. as we stepped upon deck, stood silent
! and amazed, appalled, yet delighted. We. were !
Jlr)a ling upon a sea ofjire! The wind was brisk l
and the waves high, but each wave kindled into
a liquid and floating conflagration; it sparkled :
and glowed like molten iron, and as the crest of 1
the waves broke and fell, it seemed like a shower
;°f fire- The sky was palled with clouds, and the
night dark; yet in the reflected glare of the sea,
the highest rope in our rigging was perceptible.
We were awe-stricken. It seemed, in the silence
and Tearfulness of the moment, that we were ca
reering in our lonely way upon an infernal ocean-
As lar as the eve could reach, the sea presented
the same glowing appearance ; heaving and flash
ing, and throwing its deep red glaie far up into
the misty dark air. It was awf; l, yet most beau
tiful. My imagination can conceive nothing of
equal grandeur, and my pen is far unequal to the
task of its description. It was doubtless occa
sioned by the singular abundance of phosphoric
: animalciilte. The water, when taken up in a
bucket, gradually lost its glow, and finally be
came dark. The sea retained its fiery aspect for
several hours, dining all which time our ship
dashed through it, scattering the spray like spar
kles of real fire. I understand that in this por
tion of the sea, and at this time of year, mariners
have often remarked the same singular appear
ance. At the time we saw it, we were in lati
tude 7 N. and longitude 17 W.”
Philadelphia Inlell.
A few days since, three young men on the
south side til the Island of Alaitha’s Vineyard,
were engaged in laboring in a field which was
once 3n orchard—two of them ploughing, and the
other picking up stoneata distance. Asa plough
passed over a certain part of the land, the plough
share started up two or three piecesofsilver coin,
which were hastily snatched up by the holder,
and put in his pocket. His companion observed
him stoop and pick up something, and when the
plough went over the spot again, seeing him re
peat the movement, be desired to change situa
tions with him. This was dune, and he too reap
ed his crop; when each finding that the other
; was master of the secret, they proposed a manoeu
vre to get rid of the third person, so that they
| could divide the spoil without his coining in for
a share. They therefore declared it best to leave
off work that forenoon, as it was nearly twelve
o’clock, which was readily acquiesced in. What
they obtained no one can state—but it is believ
ed that not far from two or three thousand dollars,
which had been originally buried in a bag, (as
certained by pieces of cloth adhering to some of
the coin,) were excavated. This must he divid
ed between the two; leaving the man in the field
with them, (who was no less a personage than
Mr. J. A. Jones, well known as the author of
Haverhill.) to attest the truth of the old adage :
“He who by the plough would thrive,
Must either hold himself or drive.”
