[ v SKETCH FKOM NATURE.] It was to the iate Captain Chronic, R. N., I am indebted for the pleasure of be ing but very slightly acquainted with Richard Doleful, Esquire. The father of Dick had, during tliu Captain's long and frequent absences on service, acted as his agent and factotum : receiving . his pay and his prize-money, managing his dis bursements, and investing the annual sur plus to the best advantage; and I incline to attribute to old Chronic’s kindly and grateful remembrance of the father, rather than to any persona! regard for the son, his tolerance of the latter as the almost daily visiter at his house. Dick’s “ good friends” are “ sorry to admit” that there arc many bud points about him ; hisd’best friends” compassionate aim into the pos session of ten times more: hence it may be inferred that Dick, upon the whole, is a much better person than the best of his friends. Yet I,who do not presume to be his friend, consequently have no motive for speaking in his disparagement, must, ahow him to be a very unpleasant fellow. -Now, as the term “ unpleasant fellow'' may be variously interpreted, I would have it distinctly understood that I do not mean to accuse him ofever having thrash ed his grandmother, or kicked his father down stairs, or poisoned a child, or set life to a barn.or burked a female, young, beau tiful, and virtuous, or encouraged an <ur gan-grindcr or a Scotch bagpiper to make a hideous noise under his window, or, in short, of any enormous wickcdness;l mean —and whether his case may be rendered better or worse by the explanation, must depend upon individual tasic—l mean only that he is a bore. For the lastihree years of his life, the Captain, whose health xvas gradually de clining under the effects of an uncured and incurable wound in the side, had scarcely ever quitted his house; and for a con siderable portion of that period lie was unable, without assistance, to move from his sofa. In addition to his sufferings from his glorious wound, he was subject to the occasional attacks of inglorious gout, and of three visits a day from Dick Doleful. Under such a complication of ailments, his case, both by his friends and his physicians, had long been considered hopeless. Indeed the Captain himself seemed aware of the fatal character of the last-named malady; and more than once expressed an opinion, that if he could be relieved from that, he had strength and stamina sufficient to conquer the others. 1 paid him a visit one day, and entered his room just Mr. Doleful was leaving it.— Doleful sighed audibly, shook his head, muttered *• our poor dear iriend !” and withdrew. This, from any other person, I sliuuld iiUTO * 1 inti! y. tllilt our “ poor dear friend” was at his last gasp: but being acquainted with J\lr. Doleful’s ways, 1 approached the Captain as usual, shook his hand cordially, and, in a cheerful tone, inquired how he was get ting on. “Ah, my dear fellow,” said he, at the same time slowly lilting his head l'roin the j sofa-cushion, “I’m glad to see you ; it does i me good ; you ask me ho.\v 1 do, and you look, and you speak as if you thought j there was some hie in me- But that Air. Doleful—! Here he comes, Sir, three times a day; walks into the room on tip toe, as if he thought I hadn’t nerve to bear the creaking of a shoe; touches the tip oil one of my lingers as if a cordial grasp would shatter me to atoms; and says, ‘Well, how d’ye do now, Captain !’ with such a look, and in such a tone —! it always sounds to tny cars, *\V hat, ar nt jou ocad yet, Captain V Then he sits down in that chair ;—speaks three words in two hours, and that in a whisper; puils a long face ; "’cezes out a tear—his dismal undertaker countenance lowering over me all the while! I’m not a nciyoE? until, but—, and here he rose from his sofa, ana struck a blow on a table which made every arti cle upon it spin, and roared out in a voice loud enough to be heard from stem to stern of his old seventy-four, the Thunder er : ■“ I’m not a nervous man ; but il—n me if he doesn’t sometimes make me fancy i I’m riding in a hearse to my own funeral, with him following as chief mourner. J shall die of him one of these days,” added he empirically, “I know 1 shall. i. He is not exactly the companion for an invalid,” said I; “ the chcoilui address of a friend, and his assuring smile, are im portant auxiliaries to the labour of a phy sician ; whilst, on the contrary, tnc— “ Avc, aye; the bore of such \ isits as • Ids! They would make a sound man sick, and hasten a sick man to the gi a\c. And, then, that face ol his ! 1 could nt help saying to him the otlier da}, that when I shot away the fig are-head ol t.ie French frigate, La Larmoyeusc, l should have liked to have had his to stick iq> in its j place.” _ , “ It is evident his visits are irksome aim. injurious to you. W hy» then, do jou cn-: courage them!” | « [ don’t encourage them, and it ho had any feeling he would perceive 1 don't; b.-.t bores have no feeling. Resides, I can t altogether help inysclf. His lather was uaclul to me; lie managed my money matters at home when 1 was afloat—-a kind of work 1 never could have done lor . myself—and so well, too, that I consider j my present independence as ol his crea tin''. Remembering this,l could uotdcoent ; Iv loss the son out of window, do you iliink 1 could ? Eh ■ ’ I My honest opinion upon the matter be | i!i o one which might have put the Captain to some trouble at his next interview with the gentleman in question, 1 suppressed it, and merely observed, “.Mr. Doleful has told me how useful his father was to you.” “ A ye,and so he tells every, bodvand so he reminds me as often as I see him,and Hull x the bore. Now, I am not an un grateful man, and am as little likely as any one to forget a friend, or a friend’s son ; but every time Ibis King of the Dismals re minds rnc ot mr obligation, i consider the debt or gratitude as somewhat diminished; so that if 1 livemuch longer, the score will lie entirely rubbed out, and then d—n me, but I will toss him out of the window.” Alter a momentary pause the Captain resumed:— “ Then, there’s another bore of his. We take physic hacause we arc obliged to take it: it is'nt that we like it, you know ; no body does, that ever I heard of. Now, he fancies that I can't relish my medicine irom any hands hut his, and he will stand by when I take my piils, anti tny draughts, and my powders. Ipecacuanha and Dick Doleful! Faugh ! two doses at once ! Will you believe it tny dear fel low ! the two ideas are so connected in my mind that I never see physic without thinking ol Dick Doleful nor Dick Dolelul without thinking of physic. I must own I don’t like him the better for it, and that he might p» ceive. But, as I said before, bores have no feeling—they have no per ceptions—they have no one faculty in na ture but the faculty of boring the very soul out of your body.” Seeing me take a book from amongst several which lay on the table, lie continu ed : “ Aye. there's Mr. Dick again! 1 send him to get books to amuse me, and that’s what he brings. Pretty lively read ing for a sick man, ch ? Nice things to keep up one’s drooping spirits ! There’s , Reflections on Death,’ Dodd’s ‘Prison Thoughts.’ the ‘ Deathbed Companion,’ ‘Hell; a Vision.’ I must have a fine na tural constitution to live through all this!” I took my leave of the invalid, and, at the street door, Dr. Druggem, his physi cian, and his surgeon, Sir Slnshley Cut tnore, who were about to visit him. 1 mentioned that 1 had jiist left their patient, sullering under considerable irritation, caused by the unwelcome irrtcrference of Doleful; and ventured to express an opin ion that a hint ought to be given to the latter, of the desirableness ol' diminishing both the length and the frequency of his visits to the Captain. “Hint, Sir?” said Druggem ; “a hint won’t do. Slight aperients will have no effect in this case ; 1 for administering a powerful cathartic :—this Mi*. Doleful must be carried ell at once—forbid the house, Sir.” “I am quite of Mr. Druggcm’s opinion,” Wir Stlushlcy ; “the Captain must in stantly submit to the operation ; he must consent to the immediate amputation of that Mi. IVoM'u), or ]’j| no t answer for his life a week..” The next day Mr. Doleful favored me with a visit. “I call,” said he, “(o lament with you the unhappy state of‘our poor dear friend’” and he burst into tears. Now, as 1 knew that the state of “our poor dear friend” was no worse than the j day before, I interrupted his pathetics by i telling him that I was not in a lamenting! mood: and, rather.unceremoniously, adv ded that it was the opinion of his medical, advisers, that the state of “our poof dear | friend’’ might l»c considerably improved if he, Mr. Doleful, Would be less frequent in his visits, and if, when he did call upon “our poor dear friend,” he would assume a livelier countenance. “Well ! Bless my soul ! this is unex pected—very unexpected. I — l—l—Ale ! The son of his friend—his best friend ! Why though I say it, had it not been for my poor departed father—[And here he burst into tears again—] I say, had it not been for my poor father, the Captain might, at this moment, have been 'V,.i| ;u o matter —but Ale ! how vety odd! I,who sacrifice mvscl: for the poor dear sufferer i wii!'. BF', mei niwy noon, and night, though ;t afflicts me to see him—as he roust perceive ; he must observe how I grieve at his sufferings— lie must notice how much I feel for him. Whv,dear me! What interest can I have in devoting myself to him 1 Thank Hea ven I am not a legacy-hunter.” . This voluntary and uncalled-for abne-j gation of a dirty motive, placed Mr. Dole ful before'me in anew Till that, moment tlic suspicion of his being incited j by any prospect of gain to bore “our | poor dear friend” to death, had never on- 1 jered tnv mind. ! Captain Chronic lived on for a twelve- j month, during the whole of which, except i the very last week, Dick Doleful, spite ol \ remonstrance aud entreaty, continued to! inflict upon him his three visits ;i er diem. I A week before his death, the Captain,who till then had occupied a sola, took to bis jl ed ; and feeling bis case to be hopeless, ! und conscious that he had not many days to live, lie desired that his only two rela tions, a nephew and a niece, might he sent for, and that they alone should at tend him to the last. Dick, greatly to his astonishment, thus excluded from the bed chamber, still continued his daily three [visits to the Rawing room. Upon the I last of these occasions, so vehcmeutly did I be insist upon seeing his “poor dear inend,” j ihat, without asking the C aptain s jiertnis -1 .-ion, he was allowed to cuter uif bed | room. The opening of the door awoke the Captain from a gentle slumber into .\\ hich ho had just before fallen, l’crceiv jiag Dick, he uttered a faint groan. l)iek approached the bed-side, as usual on tip toe ; as usual lie softly pressed the tip of the Captain’s fore-finger ; squeezed out the usual tribute of one tear ; and with the usual undertaker-look, and in the usu al dismal tone, he said, “Well, how d’ye do now, Captain ?” The C.ijHain faintly articulated, “Dick, you’ve done it at last!” 101 l back upon his pillow, and expired ! At about ten o'clock on the same mor ning, Dick Doleful, looking very like an undertaker’s mute, called upon me. He was dressed iu black and had a deep crape round his hat. “The .dear depar ted !” was all be uttered. “Is it all over with the Captain, Mr. Doleful ?” “He’s gone ! Thank heaven I was with the dear departed at his last momenta. If ever there was an angel upon earth ! so (food, so kind, so honorable, so every thing a man ought to be,—Thank heaven 1 did my duty towards the dear departed. This loss will lie the death of me. 1 hav’nt the heart to say more to you ; besides, the will of the departed will be opened at twelve,tand it is proper that some disin terested Iriend should be present at the reading. Good morning. Oh ! the dear departed I But he’s gone where he will get his deserts. At about two o’clock Mr. Doleful was again announced. I observed that his hat was dismantled ol the ensign of mourning, which it had so ostentatiously exhibited but a few hours before. He took a seat, remained silent ibr several minutes, anti then burst into a flood of real, legitimate tears. “Be composed, my dear Sir,” said I, “recollect your grief is unavailing; it will not recall to life the dear departed.” “The departed bed and!” exclaimed he, starting in rage from his chair. “Thank lieaaen I um not a legacy-hunter, never theless I did expect You know what 1 did for the old scoundrel, you know what time I sacrificed to him, you know how I have watched the hour and minute forgiving the old rascal his filthy physic, and yet ! I repeat it, 1 am not a lega cy hunter ; but I put it to you, Sir, as a man of sense, as a man of ilie world, as a man of honor, had’nt 1 aright to expect, a perfect right to expect What should you have thought, Sir ? I merely ask liow much should you have thought?” “W by, perhaps, a thousand pound.” “Os course—to be sure—l am any thing but an interested man ; and had he left me that. I should have been satisfied.” “liow much, then, has he left you?” “Guess—l only say do you guess.” “Well—five hundred?’* “Why, even that would have served as a token of his gratitude ; it is’nt as mo- 1 ney I should have valued it: or had he left me silty pounds for mourning, why even that or five pounds for a ring, even tiiat would have been better than— But, Sir,you won't Defteve it ; you can’t; believe it; the old villain is gone out of the world without leaving me a farthing ! { But I am not disappointed, for I always j know the inan. So selfish, so unkind, so| hard-hearted, so ungrateful, so dishonor-1 able, so wicked an old scoundrel—l Ifj e* er there was a devil incarnate, take my ! word for it ha was one. But he’s gone where he will get his deserts.’’ And, so saving, Exii Dick Doleful. I it is but justice to the memory of the Captain to state, that in the body of his' will lliere had stood a clause to this effect:: “To Richard Doleful, Esq., in testimony of my grateful remembrance of the ser vices rendered me by his late father, I bequeath One Thousand Founds.” By a codicil of later date, ibis bequest was re-; duccd to eight hundred ; by a third, toi live hundred ; and so on, by others, till it was reduced to—nothing. Thus had poor Dick Doleful bored his friend out of bis life, aud himself out of a legacy. The Pallors love affair. “ I was a young man then. I had just j returned from a cruise with plenty of j prize-money, and went on shore to hare j a spree. Il was a public house a little out j of Portsmouth flint I first saw Sal. Such a craft, sir ! Could you but have seen! oer! Such top-lights ! —such catheads !

Well,! sir, 1 agreed to this; and at parting she threw her grappling irons round my neck, and began piping her eves so that 1 felt a little queer, and thought my eye-pumps would go to work, llut I put a gold watch into her hand, which comforted her a lit tle ; and then clapping my helm hard a starbourd, I gave a broad sheer oil, aud went on board. We were out this cruise lor eighteen mouths aud 1 bod the luck to VOUJ.TFE I—.YOI3i;R 4». | get rated captain of the maintop. So now I .thought it was all right and got , leave from the first leftcnant to go to Ports mouth to get spliced to Sal, lor we were at ‘Sltcerness going to relit As I had plenty ot money, 1 determined to make as short a passage I could and took a birth aboard ol a shore-going craft called the Duncan. We were ail ready to start, the anchor was apeak, and only waited for us to strike e’ght bells ; just as I was upon the hind wheel ol the coach, (for I had taken care to have a berth in the after part ol the ship,) the clock struck. “Is all right ?’ said the coachman. “All’s right,” said I.
