Introduction.

THE contents of the little volume now presented to the public have been taken from the second column (commonly called the “Agony Column”) of the _Times_ newspaper, from the commencement of the present century to the end of the year 1870.

Readers of newspapers (more especially of the _Times_) cannot fail to be struck by the mysterious communications which daily appear, and I venture to hope my selection of some of the most remarkable may interest those who peruse these pages.

Most of the advertisements selected show a curious phase of life, interesting to an observer of human existence and human eccentricities. They are veiled in an air of mystery, with a view of blinding the general public, but at the same time give a clue unmistakable to those for whom they were intended.

At the early period of 1800 the “Agony Column” seems to have been the chief medium for matrimonial advertisements; but, unfortunately, we are left considerably in the dark, and our curiosity as to whether the young nobleman (in advertisement No. 2) eventually married the unknown “Catholic widow” is not gratified; but we do learn something, namely, that love at first sight was not so rare in those days as it is supposed to be in the present unromantic age.

There is little doubt that lovers separated by unfortunate circumstances, or by angry parents, as well as bachelors meditating matrimony, have found in the “Agony Column” a safe means of secret correspondence. With what despair did “One-winged Dove” (advertisement No. 214) beseech her lover, the “Crane,” to return to her! Sorely must her patience have been tried as she scanned the paper in vain day after day for four months. The answer came at last (advertisements No. 234 and 235), but only to kill every hope.

I do not know how this portion of the _Times_ newspaper came to be called the “Agony Column;” but when we read advertisements like the one quoted above, and which is only one in a hundred, I think all my readers will agree that it is an unquestionably appropriate name.

Through our daily walk in life we brush up against millions of fellow-men, yet of how few amongst them do we know anything? We each live in a world of our own; we draw a circle, as it were, around us, within which centre all our interests. How lightly our feelings are touched by what happens outside our circle is shown by the exclamation that escapes our lips as we read a fresh tragedy in the daily papers. The actors in it are unknown to us, and in a moment or two the paper is laid aside with a smile on our lips--the news that blighted many lives forgotten! But if it comes within the charmed circle, how different our feelings!

On the other hand, how very little we know of the inner or deeper life of even those in our own little world. Romances, stranger than fiction, happen under our very eyes, and we do not see them. With hearts that are breaking men and women can go through the duties of every-day life, wearing calm and even smiling faces. He knew human nature well who wrote--

“Broken hearts are dumb--or smile.”

What is there to tell us that such smiles are only on the surface? Nothing. So, is it not possible that the very advertisement that appealed to our feelings in the day’s paper may have been inserted by some one living under the same roof with us!

We find some of the pseudonyms used by the advertisers are very transparent disguises, for instance, “Bocaj” (advertisements No. 355 and 363), read backwards, is simply Jacob. What an insight we get here into the writer’s character. No one possessing a sly, crafty nature would have dictated an alias so apparent.

Many others are of the same transparent nature. In some cases numbers have been substituted for the letters of the alphabet, and are easily deciphered. Take, for example, advertisement No. 1561, which reads, “Z. Y. R. Let me send correspondence with rector of college; it will explain how things stand. I go abroad next month.”

In some advertisements the alphabet is slightly altered. Instead of reading the letter B as printed, read C. Thus, “head” would read “if be.” An advertisement of this description is found on June 23rd, 1864 (No. 1387)--“Alexander Rochfort reported dead. I saw you yesterday. Moate vainly searched ten years.” The same rule applies to advertisement No. 1454, the meaning of which is, “Bone to first joint taken out yesterday--chloroform--régimes alone prevented me fulfilling my promise to you--Myosotis--May 3rd.”

In advertisements No. 1701 and 1705 the alphabet is again altered, and this time more ingeniously. Instead of the letter written supply the second following. Thus we read in the first, “Umbrella. Dear Fanny, meet your distracted friend beneath the willow by the lake. Row under the stars. Common sea-breezes. Feather-weight. Yours, Bicycle.” The advertisement preceding it is most intricate, and reads, “Wrote you to-day. Will the letter ever reach. Love beyond telling, purely and true. Inraptured (_sic_) with love, darling. No sleep that night.” The spelling of this is so incorrect that it was most probably inserted by an illiterate individual. Advertisements No. 1247, 1248, 1249, 1250 are all from the same source, and the writers have very cleverly transposed the whole alphabet. My readers will find that they have begun their alphabet at the letter L. Thus L reads A; M, B; N, C, and so on through the twenty-six letters. For example, we read in advertisement No. 1247, “On Tuesday I sent letter to Byrne for you. May I speak fully on all matters at the interview? It may do good. Trust to my love. I am miserable. When may I go to Canterbury, if only to look at you?”

In advertisements No. 1650, 1651, 1660, 1666, 1670, 1680, 1681, 1696, 1697, 1698, 1702, and 1703 we go back to the simpler style of disguise, namely, that of reading the letter that follows the one written. Advertisement No. 1650 consequently reads, “O. Y. is ill. Do not like to leave yet. How long notice would you want? Very kind thoughts.” Frankenstein, in advertisements 1734, 1735, 1739, and 1747, has chosen a disguise so clever and deep that I do not think his communications would be easily detected; and for those of my readers who possess only a small amount of patience and a large amount of curiosity, I give the translation of the first of them.

“Three, four, five, six, yes to all, be cautious anywhere even in German in case of seizure or stoppage, omit signature W for the present, twig for safety any letter to me, safe here, trust me, I will never give you up, never darling, put plenty of love in your letters.”

No. 1764 and 1765 are very much of the same description--clever, deep, and remarkable for the same want of method in transposing the alphabet, and when read are worthy of the cunning nature that devised such a disguise. As the translation is a very tedious business and would require a large amount of patience and perseverance I give them both: No. 1764--“Very vexed at angry part of your letter. Why not take interest in your appearance? Heiress be damned. Have more trust. Shall always remain as usual yours only. V.” No. 1765--“On prowl and near game. Party scrofulous but got the brass. Parker!! Family very soft and come from Leeds. Make inquiries. Trust is broken reed ready wanted to swagger withal (_sic_). Help Jones usually. V.”

Advertisement No. 1731 is equally mysterious and clever; the alphabet commences at the letter N as in advertisement No. 1247, but is rendered more obscure by the use of capital letters, and after having deciphered the letters the sentence has to be divided into words; my readers will then find it reads thus: “You only till death letter for you Sunday night.”

I think after all the examples I have given that no one will have much difficulty in deciphering for themselves advertisements No. 1762 and 1767 in which “Nellie” addressed herself to “Darling Alf.” Any construction might be put on her simple message, but “I will be at the Great Western Hotel at six on Wednesday” gives one the idea of a runaway match, and this idea seems to be confirmed in the second advertisement, No. 1767, in which she says, “Everything sacred as the grave” (query, did she not mean silent?), and asks for £5 to defray expenses.

We come across a somewhat curious case in advertisements No. 694, 702, 708, 710, 713, and 715: a young lady, evidently in love, and separated from the object of her affections, wrote to the “Agony Column” under the name of “Puisque” (No. 694); she received no answer, so advertised again twice (No. 702 and 708), and was evidently under a strong impression that her lover was suffering from illness. After a few days an answer appeared, headed “Puisque” (710), but the writer desired her to advertise again, addressing her correspondent by his own initials. We find in advertisement No. 713 that the lady suspected the fraud, and then her genuine lover advertised (715) to tell her that the former one (710) had not been inserted by him. There is little doubt that some one interested in keeping them apart had detected the advertisement, and under the common impression that “all is fair in love and war” had laid aside all scruples--if he or she ever possessed any--to serve his or her own ends. This is not the only case of mistaken identity; we find in advertisement No. 1065 that the writer was in doubt as to whether the one he was answering was intended for him or not.

After a very careful investigation I think the romantic pair who advertised for some time under the disguise of “Does he repent” (advertisements No. 923, 924, 925, and 926) were either found out or afraid of detection, as they altered their names twice; the first time to “Rose” and “Weed,” and again to “Blue bell” and “Lochinvar” (advertisements No. 962 and 963). “Constantia” also appears to have had a part in this plot (advertisement No. 969); probably she played the part of “go-between.” Advertisements No. 1181, 1183, and one or two others are quite legible when read backwards.

After the number of sentimental advertisements, which certainly form the greater number in the Agony Column, it is rather a relief to find a few ludicrous specimens, such as “Jolly to Rummy” (advertisement No. 1166); “Portmanteau to Pack” (advertisement No. 1180); “Little Silly” (advertisement No. 1216); “He has sneezed, etc.” (No. 1258); and a splendid antidote to all sentimentality is expressed in the sarcasm of advertisement No. 1237: “Fred. All right. I sympathize with your pain, but why not seek consolation where you cannot find it, and in a way that pains me? Write as usual. Trust Ever.”

Amongst the number of advertisements that I have passed over in silence there are many, I have little doubt, that might be classed under the head of stratagems, that is to say, they are inserted with a view of deceiving those to whom they are addressed. For instance, how often do we read nowadays: “John Smith will hear something to his advantage if he applies in person to Tom Jones, Brown Street.” But in all probability the same said John Smith will find that if he gratifies his curiosity by visiting Mr. Jones at the place named, in the hope of finding a fortune has been left to him, he will find it would have been decidedly more to his advantage had he suppressed his curiosity and remained at home.

Nor is a hoax by any means an uncommon thing in the “Agony Column.” There is a story--American, of course--of a man whose wife deserted him; but instead of running after her and begging her to come back, he published in the leading daily paper that he had drawn fifty thousand dollars in the lottery; and the story goes that she returned immediately. Needless to state that the prize in the lottery only existed in the ingenious man’s imagination.

Lastly, I must draw the attention of my readers to the two most remarkable series of advertisements, in my opinion, that have appeared during the present century, though I feel sure that all who honour my pages with a careful perusal will not fail to notice them without any remark of mine.

The first series are those signed with the initials E. W., then E. J. W., and latterly with the writer’s full address--E. J. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland. His advertisements are headed by such a variety of names that, at first sight, we are apt to be misled, and do not think of connecting the writer of “Rouge et Noir” with that of “Indigo Blue” or “To the Equator.” Nevertheless they are all from the same source, as well as those headed “The Writer of the Anonymous Letter,” “Battledore and Shuttlecock,” “Flybynight,” “Egypte,” “Anchor,” “Circumspice,” “Au Simulacre,” “Decimals to Cheops,” “To Contre Coup,” “Tribe,” “Two Hundred Pounds Reward,” “Nicht eine Million,” “Nicht Zwei Millonen,” “Double Fin,” “Leb! Wohl,” “Poverty and Honour,” “Spurs and Skirts,” “A La Croix Rouge,” “To the Counterfeit,” “Alpha the First,” “To St. James,” “The Key,” “The Pillar,” “Honest Alexis,” “Hide and Seek,” “To a Christian,” “X Cheops X,” “X Tribe X,” “X Blue Eyes X,” “X Gamins X,” “My dearest Alice,” etc., some of which are signed “Cygne,” others “Egypte,” and the rest with the initials of name in full. His first advertisement (No. 245) appeared in 1851, and from that date they appeared continually during a period of six years. They ceased for a time, but commenced again in the year 1857. He seems to have been an unfortunate man, and evidently lost not only his fortune, but his daughter Alice, and his numerous appeals in the “Agony Column” are a curious mixture of business complications and entreaties for his lost child’s return. That his child was not lost by accident, but stolen by some one of evil intent, cannot fail to be apparent to even the most careless of my readers. One cannot help feeling an amount of sympathy with this unfortunate writer as we read advertisements No. 995, 1001, and 1034, in which we learn what a large share of anxiety and suffering fell to his lot. The last of his advertisements appeared in 1870 (No. 1753), but unfortunately we cannot learn from its contents whether or not the tide of misfortune had turned for him at last.

The other remarkable series of advertisements to which I alluded are those signed “J. de W.” There is little doubt that mankind inherited a large amount of curiosity from our mother Eve; therefore advertisements, written in the ordinary intelligent manner, though they may be full of interest and amusement, do not strike us as forcibly as those couched in an unintelligible style like the ones to which I am now referring, and simply from the fact that we are unable to read them. For five years “J. de W.’s” advertisements appeared on or about the first of every month, commencing March 1st, 1850; and, as we follow them, we can conjure up for ourselves the stirring history and romance of a lifetime. It is somewhat difficult to determine whether or not the advertisements, written in the same type and signed “A. B. C.,” are answers to the others. It is quite possible that “J. de W.” might be able to receive letters without interference, but had no means of sending them without detection, and was therefore reduced to the medium of the _Times_. It seems quite impossible that any man, though possessed of unbounded faith and perseverance, would have struggled against fate so long. Would he not have given up in despair years before he did? So I think we may conclude that the messages signed “J. de W.” and “A. B. C.” are answers one to the other.

I have been able to show so many different ways in which our simple alphabet can be changed to form a language that will defy a large majority of the public, that I feel sure that all those who are denied the privilege of an open correspondence, might, with a little ingenuity, find a way of communication that would baffle those whose eyes they fear; but at the same time let them remember that parents, guardians, and friends will have discovered in my pages that what looks so unintelligible at first sight may, with a little patience, be read as easily as the plainest English printed in our newspapers.

The Agony Column

Of The “Times.”

1.--_Monday, January 13, 1800._

THE ANSWER of a LETTER to an OFFICER at HEREFORD is, “That he Was.”

2.--_Thursday, December 18, 1800._

A CARD.--If the Lady who a Gentleman handed into her carriage from Covent Garden Theatre, on Wednesday, the third of this month, will oblige the Advertiser with a line to Z. Z., Spring Garden Coffee House, saying if married or single, she will quiet the mind of a young Nobleman, who has tried, but in vain, to find the Lady. The carriage was ordered to Bond Street. The Lady may depend on honour and secrecy. Nothing but the most honourable interview is intended. The Lady was in mourning, and sufficiently cloathed to distinguish her for possessing every virtue and charm that man could desire in a female that he would make choice of for a Wife. Deception will be detected, as the Lady’s person can never be forgot.

3.--_Saturday, May 16, 1801._

ELIZA’S Second LETTER has been received. The Inserter of this candidly acknowledges a pre-engagement; but if “Eliza” wishes for further explanation, she will please to address herself to the Inserter’s Father.

4.--_Wednesday, July 15, 1801._

TO ELIZA.--It is with deep regret the Person feels himself again called upon publicly to address ELIZA on the subject of her very unpleasant Letters, after repeated solicitations to discontinue them. He is perfectly satisfied in his own mind to have acted honourably towards her, for her peace of mind sake has candidly and unreservedly made known to her his situation, consequently she well knows he cannot in honour, even if he were disposed, accede to her wishes. It is useless for her therefore to trouble him with more, or to write elsewhere, as she may rest assured, from him they will meet with the fate of the two last, which were committed to the flames unopened, and likewise in the other quarter, the contempt they justly merit.

5.--_Tuesday, December 15, 1801._

MATRIMONY.--The friend of a Gentleman (a Bachelor), about 26, who is a Man of good property, agreeable person, and in an old-established profitable Business in one of the best and most fashionable streets at the West-end of the Town, wishes to see him made happy by an honourable union with an amiable Female of good education, pleasing manners, and some property. This Advertisement is inserted by his Friend without his knowledge, by which means he hopes to introduce a Lady to his wishes, and prevent the possibility of prejudice on his part by this too common channel of information. Any Lady (Widow or Spinster) not exceeding 30 years of age, who may answer this Advertisement (not out of curiosity only), may depend on secrecy, and the greatest honour and most respectable reference, by addressing a line to Mr. Thomas Price, to be left at the Printing-office, Grocer’s Hall-court, Poultry.

6.--_Tuesday, December 22, 1801._

TO a LADY.--The GENTLEMAN who lately received TWO LETTERS from a Lady, is extremely sorry that the first did not reach him in time to avail himself of its contents, and thereby escape the Rebuke contained in the second. He will shortly be obliged to leave Town in a few months for Ireland. If this should meet the eye of his Fair Correspondent, he hopes she will honour him with another, directed as the last, between this and Saturday.

7.--_Thursday, December 31, 1801._

IF the GENTLEMAN (supposed a Foreigner) who kindly took a YOUNG LADY from No. 13, Charlotte-street, Rathbone-Place, to Bristol, the beginning of September last, will appoint a Place and Time of Meeting with the Advertiser, whose discretion and secrecy may be depended upon, it may be attended with real benefit to the young Lady. Direct to D. G., at John’s Coffee-house, Cornhill.

8.--_Thursday, December 23, 1802._

INCOGNITA’S elegant and well-composed EPISTLE, of the 19th instant, has had all the impression that possibly could be expected: another, with real name and place of abode, may be safely ventured. An immediate intercourse is earnestly requested by

Leander.

9.--_Wednesday, December 28, 1803._

MATRIMONY.--A TRADESMAN, in a pleasant part of London, wishes to meet with a PARTNER for LIFE. A handsome face is not so much his wish as an agreeable, prudent Person; a Widow would not be objected to if her age did not much exceed his own, which is under 30. Some fortune is expected. A line to A. B., under cover to Mr. Woffington, No. 41, Lombard-street, post paid, will meet with the strictest honour and secrecy.

10.--_Monday, February 13, 1804._

A. B. C.

11.--_Saturday, June 16, 1804._

TO M----A M----E. “Forget” you? By Heaven I cannot! Engraven on my soul is your memory, in deepest characters, which time vainly will endeavour to efface, contracted as now must be its span, since without one remonstrance, one expostulation, you can resolve for ever to forget me. Wherefore, then, often warned, persist in exciting a reluctant, indeed, but never more unfeigned, sensibility, only to wound it? DO I DESERVE THIS? Is it generous? Is it equitable? But severe no longer, welcome now, is the mandate of authority, enjoining oblivion of

Orl----O.

12.--_Tuesday, September 4, 1804._

A CARD.--H. J. A. presents his most respectful compliments to the Catholic Widow Lady, residing near London-bridge, and earnestly requests a speedy interview. Should this meet the Lady’s, or any of the family’s eyes, it is for obvious reasons desired that this may meet the attention which the nearest relationship pleads for. An answer, addressed to the Blossoms Inn, Lawrence-lane, Cheapside, will be attended to.

13.--_Friday, September 21, 1804._

IF the YOUTH THAT LEFT ISLINGTON on Sunday evening can remember that he ever had a Mother, he is informed he will soon be deprived of that blessing, except he immediately writes with particulars, or personally appears before her. His friend will redress any circumstance, and settle every point to his satisfaction.

West Smithfield.

14.--_Wednesday, October 10, and Thursday, October 11, 1804._

THE LETTER of J. A. has been received this morning: the person to whom it was addressed will be happy to receive a further communication, and assures the writer that everything friendship can dictate will be done for him if he will send a line where a letter may be addressed to him: he thinks it needless to pledge his honour that secrecy will be observed, and his own inclinations alone be consulted.

OCTOBER 9th, 1804.

15.--_Friday, January 10, 1806._

B.

16.--_Thursday, February 6, 1806._

A.

17.--_Monday, December 29, 1806._

TO D. P.--IN ANSWER to D. P.’s note, the sum proposed is 3000_l._, which will be lodged in the hands of his Banker, or any one else he may appoint. The next, addressed to Newmarket, will be duly attended to.

18.--_Wednesday, May 13, 1807._

A CARD.--If Mr. A., who had such a delightful Row to Battersea, on Monday, the 27th of last month, will call or write, everything can be explained to his satisfaction.

19.--_Friday, July 3, 1807._

MR. T. BARRALET begs leave to remind his Friends who knew him thirty years ago, that he is alive and in good health.--South Lambeth, July 2.

20.--_Monday, May 22, 1809._

IF the LADY who met a CLERGYMAN in the Greenwich Coach, on Thursday, May 18, will send her address at Somers Town, to Rev. W. J., at the Turk’s Head Coffee-house in the Strand, she may accomplish the declared object of her wishes immediately.

21.--_Tuesday, December 25, 1810._

A LADY who passed a Gentleman on Monday, the 17th of this month, in Hart-street, Bloomsbury, about 3 o’clock in the afternoon, without speaking to him, is anxious for an opportunity of seeing him again, any time after the 7th of January.

22.--_Tuesday, September 10, 1811._

IF the Gentleman who met a LADY in Gracechurch-street, on the evening of the 9th of November last, and walked with her to the lower end of Bishopgate-street, and then waited till her return, and then accompanied her into the City, will be at the exact spot where he waited for her, at 8 o’clock on Wednesday and Thursday next, she will meet him, having something of importance to communicate.

September 9, 1811.

23.--_Friday, March 31, 1815._

A. B.’s LETTER is acknowledged with thanks, and further information is solicited most earnestly; no expense or labour will be spared in the pursuit of that justice which has hitherto been sought in vain; honour and secrecy may be relied on always.

24.--_Thursday, November 7, 1816._

PHILIP.--Would PHILIP like to hear of his MOTHER’S DEATH?

25.--_Monday, April 27, 1818._

G. B.--If every manly feeling is not extinct in you, you will return directly. It is false shame to leave a woman to combat difficulties that you could not withstand. You are vilified, as if you were a bad man, and that by persons whose indulgence you might expect. Your presence may reverse what has been done. It will relieve those who love you, from distress the most unutterable.--April 27.

R.

26.--_Thursday, May 7, and May 14, 1818._

G. B.--If you could conceive the sorrow and despair into which I am plunged, I am sure you would at last let me hear from you; this unkindness distracts me more than all the rest; with you I could suffer every privation; your absence only aggravates our miseries; you have still friends left, whose kindness can obliterate past recollections.

S. B.

27.--_Monday, March 22, 1819._

E. Z. is particularly expected; he will find a Letter in Cheapside.--Saturday morning, March 20, 1819.

28.--_Tuesday, July 6, 1819._

F. K. B.--Received.

29.--_Wednesday, September 6, 1820._

“’TIS WELL.” H. H.--London, September 4, 1820.

30.--_Thursday, September 21, 1820._

H. H. begs leave to acknowledge receipt of J. A.’s communication, and to inform him, that he need not hesitate in naming the harbour and using his own oars.--London, September 1, 1820.

The Anonymous Writer can have no copy of his first Letter. “Ruinous exposure” are not words in course. He must drop his mask, or forfeit his self-respect. Having seized upon the judgement-seat, he should know no rest till he has traced the accusation through all its windings, till he either by proof establishes, or, in his own person, absolutely acquits from that “claim” which is most unequivocally denied. Let him “reflect then.” The wanton cruelty imputed, even in his last letter, would leave a stain never to be effaced.

47.--_Friday, December 2, 1825._

“CÆSAR BORGIA.”--Labor improbus omnia vincit. W. L. R. nunc 30. Brompton row.

48.--_Thursday, May 4, 1826._

I CONSENT to any, every condition, rather than a continuance of this lengthened--this too justly dreaded--separation.

49.--_Monday, May 8, and May 9, 1826._

I CONSENT to everything that can be suggested to procure a reconciliation, which I have for a long period anxiously desired.

50.--_Friday, May 12, 1826._

53.--_Monday, June 5, 1826._

MEMORANDUM.--Suspicions are unfounded.--Slanders from Hypocrites and story-tellers ought not to be credited--no unknown circumstance can be credited.

54.--_Wednesday, September 30, 1829._

IF the GENTLEMAN, whose conversation was interrupted a fortnight ago (by an exclamation of--“Sir, you will lose your handkerchief,” and also by a carriage driving suddenly into Portland-place), wishes to renew it, he will find the curiosity that then lay dormant has since been excited, therefore the information volunteered, if he has not left town, may be sent to C. D., twopenny post-office, 88, Oxford-street.

55.--_Thursday, September 30, 1830._

TO L----A.--It is impossible to approve or justify the step L----a has taken. How much unhappiness her conduct has occasioned, and still occasions, cannot be conceived. All that remains to those whom she has so deeply afflicted is to lament that any one brought up in a knowledge of the duties of virtue and religion could ever be induced to depart so widely from what they enjoin.

56.--_Friday, February 11, 1831._

Z. may make the experiments to which he alludes in his letter in the presence of H. M. C. without fear of endangering his personal safety.

W. D. is informed that his RESOLVE was, as delicately as possible, duly communicated, and that the same was received with as much fortitude as could be expected. The children are well, and their mother, though very wretched, yet as composed as under the painful circumstances she could be. W. D. is requested to write again, giving a detailed account on a particular subject, from his new residence, when decided upon.

E. O. L. THANKS C. K. V. The circumstance was by direction, but seems to have been overdone.

61.--_Saturday June 10, 1837._

WISH, but CANNOT YET. All kind. M. R.

62.--_Thursday, July 27, 1837._

H. Has not the slightest desire to act contrary to a wish expressed in the manner it has been, had such been the intention, which it never was. H. wishes it to be understood that, were some points cleared up, every feeling, once expressed, would be felt the same even now. H. hopes that this may yet be done; it would give extreme pleasure.

63.--_Thursday, October 18, 1838._

THOU wert bidden to eat of my bread, and to drink of my cup--come, they shall be made sweet to thee, thy name is safe and ever dear--come, come quickly, I will GIVE and thou shalt ENJOY, be thou yet RETAINED to cheer a blighted home.

C. * * * * * * may implicitly rely upon the honour and SECRECY of his friend, and that his only intention is to oblige and befriend. C. should know his friend better than to imagine that any form of words would more effectually bind the man, whose Christian and surname each contain six letters.

233.--_Tuesday, November 17, and 20, 21, 1850._

I am sorry that you did not WAIT for our FRIEND, who would have explained much more than my letter. Pray reflect on the difficulty in which you place me. I am most anxious to help you, and you render it impossible for me to do so. Just ask yourself what single act I can do without your help? None. No one but yourself can sign or explain anything. If you persevere the consequence will be that the affair will pass into other hands, and half the money will be spent in law. You are not doing justice either to yourself or to me. You say you have acted deliberately; if you have you must have been ignorant of your true position and the consequences of your acts. Pray reflect. With your aid anything can be done; but without it nothing.--Douglas, viâ Hull.--_Nov. 18, 1850._

285.--_Thursday, October 2, 1851._

TO NELLY.--“The MINSTREL BOY,” who left Gr . . . s T. n unknown to his friends about three weeks since. Was dressed in a rusty black surtout coat, common cloth waistcoat, trowsers marked with ink, and an old Caen hat. No ear for music. Pray return to your disconsolate friends. All will be forgiven, and Charlie will give up the front room.

286.--_Wednesday, October 22, 1851._

MRS. . . . . . N.--Be entreated. If you ever loved the father of your child, if you love your child, do not persevere in your absence, unless you would sacrifice A. F. or R. F. He is in a distressing state. For Annie’s sake, if not for his, a mutual friend prays you to WRITE at once to Mr. Hamilton, and say when and where you will meet A. F. The consequences of your silence will be serious.

287.--_Thursday, October 23, 1851._

Châtelaine wrote many days ago, but there was some mistake. Three received in all. Many thanks. Grandpapa is unwell, but sends his love to Châtelaine. Write soon.

288.--_Wednesday, October 29, 1851._

MRS. . . . . . N.--Your note has been received. It is evasive, cold, and cruel. It is incredible that you should be watched and coerced; if so, come at once to the man who is now fully prepared to be satisfactorily yours only, and for life. What accursed spirit holds you in thraldom, and can influence you to abandon your child and husband? In wretchedness he appeals to you against this influence. Let the feelings of your own good heart prevail. RETURN, if but for a few days, to your home, and confer with your husband. Nothing shall be done to mar your comfort or ease, but do not, for the will of others, sacrifice the peace of mind and health of the man you have professed to love above all others. Your husband, A. F.

290.--_Tuesday, November 4, 1851._

C. H. has RECEIVED his dear friend’s 82,750; kind remembrances, with thanks, in which Caroline and Louisa join--both unhappily married, residing with their father, and exerting themselves for his comfort and support. There are three sons, whom he never sees, and who, in his old age, afford him neither solace nor assistance. He will be rejoiced to receive the promised long letter.

291.--_Monday, November 10, 1851._

MRS. F . . . . . . . N.--The step you have taken has already had its effect. The letter received (indirectly) on Friday by A. F. was satisfactory, if you have acted in conformity with his entreaty. On Monday see our dear Annie, and I will meet you either at the Hudson’s in the morning, or at the Gate’s in the after noon, at their usual time: or any day but Tuesday.

292.--_Tuesday, November 11, 1851._

MRS. F . . . . . . . . N.--A. F. WAITED till 12. Can you not to your child spare one day from those who have so long engrossed your obedience, thoughts, actions, and feelings? Pause! Do not leave as you threatened. This day (Tuesday) see A. F. in the morning at friend Hudson’s, or at half past 3 where we parted weeks ago, on Wednesday, as arranged. +.

293.--_Wednesday, November 19, 1851._

MRS. F . . . . . . . N.--Is this not cruel? Two hours’ cold anxious waiting and watching. You evade meeting. You will not write. Come to R. F. at the same place, at 5 to-day (Wednesday): or on Thursday, at the same time and place, as on Tuesday. R. F. will wait till you come. Pray write to Hamilton. Do not go away!

294.--_Thursday, November 27, 1851._

CHATELAINE.--Why have you not written again? If you direct as your last, the LETTER will be forwarded. Grandpapa has been very ill in town, and consequently unable to comply with your request.

298.--_Thursday, January 22, 1852._

HUKKY BOY CHARLIE CALL ME FOOL--me cane. Lizzy, pray come home. Your husband and sisters are reconciled. All is arranged. One of your sisters is waiting your return at Notting-Hill.

LIZZY.--Your LETTER is RECEIVED. I am at Notting-Hill, waiting to see you. Pray, for the sake of all that’s dear to you, come to me, or I will come to you. Write at once, as I cannot return home till I have seen you. All are friends. All is secret as yet. Much has been effected for your comfort.

TO F. D. N., Glasgow, February 16th, 1852.--“The _Times_ is the Jefferies of the Press.” Beta, box 318, Post-office, Bristol.

310.--_Monday, March 8, 1852._

CIRCUMSPICE.--Box-moor, Herts.--E. W.

311.--_Tuesday, March 9, 1852._

R----. Thank you for the INFORMATION given a few months ago, respecting the letters sent to P . . . . . r. Write by to-morrow’s post, please. Fear not.--London-wall. Tom. Try to understand this mystery, 10.

312.--_Tuesday, March 9, 1852._

TO EQUATOR.--Circumspice.--Your great ship, the Christopher Columbus, when laden with indigo, opium, or the most costly merchandise of the East, never contained so much wealth as stands on that said hill.--E. W.

313.--_Wednesday, March 10, 1852._

INDIGO BLUE.--Where and how shall I send my address? I, too, have grown cautious at last. Are you as entirely ignorant as you seem? Be candid and careful as to this.

314.--_Thursday, March 11, 1852._

NOT to EQUATOR.--You might have saved yourself the trouble, and been the richer by 5_s._ Tom is sure to go to the wall without your telling him. The Ten is particularly happy, the chances being 10 to 1 that he will cross Earth’s central line, and then, being as invulnerable as Achilles, he will have nothing to fear. Tom will understand this mystery without trying.--E. W.

315.--_Friday, March 12, 1852._

AU SIMULACRE.--You have only precipitated your friends into the abyss of destruction. Ou pardonne à ceux que l’on méprise.--E. W.

316.--_Friday, March 12, 1852._

INDIGO BLUE.--Was I to say that my mind had not formed an idea of you, candour would indeed be wronged; but diffidence arises when I put this question; what claim have I to such kindness? Please send your address by letter to Alexis, Post-office, Chester; and, in order that the exchange may be mutual, my card will await you at the Post-office, Clifton, near Bristol.

317.--_Monday, March 15, 1852._

E. W.--What have I done to call forth such cruel remarks? Let me entreat you to favour me with some EXPLANATION. Enemies shall not long triumph over us if you will only join me in this declaration. Do not despair, or on any account give place to the dishonour of foes. In so far as I am concerned the matter has been confined to myself.--A. B. C.

318.--_Monday, March 15, 1852._

TO MY BELOVED EQUATOR.--When I visited the Great Exhibition I fancied Hampden, though refreshed with the living water from the Crystal Fountain, frowned at me; I hope our great countryman is now convinced we have not degenerated, and that his impersonation has resumed its accustomed serenity. Ce n’est que le premier pas qui coute, c’est fait; et c’en est fait d’eux. Vous voyez, la Providence n’est pas toujours avec les forts bataillons.--E. W.

319.--_Tuesday, March 16, 1852._

HONEST, HONEST ALEXIS! What a strange coincidence! Remove the last syllable, and there was, once, a great man, one of the self-constituted, sacred race, known by that cognomen, whom I,--for which, of course, I shall never be forgiven,--transformed--as I intend to serve many more--into a city spectre. Honest, honest Alexis! may that never be your fate. Candour would then indeed be wronged.--E. W.

320.--_Thursday, March 18, 1852._

E. W. by TELEGRAPH.--What are you alluding to? SEND YOUR ADDRESS. Direct immediately. I was much disappointed at not receiving it on Saturday, and have been in the greatest agony ever since. You are freely forgiven; extend your mercy to Alexis.

321.--_Friday, March 19, 1852._

I AM COME. I will wait but this day and to-morrow. Remember, “Now or never.”

WHAT AM I ALLUDING TO? The Customs. You will only deceive the superficial fools of the nation--Alexis. A. B. C. & Telegraph being Siamese twins, the answer given to Alexis will do for the lot.--E. W.

324.--_Saturday, March 20, 1852._

DOOR-MAT and BEANS TO-NIGHT.

325.--_Tuesday, March 23, 1852._

E. W.--Author of anonymous correspondence, look at home. Conscience does not accuse me of even attempting to deceive. You have, however, been playing the game of deception for several years, until, judging from your exasperated feelings, you are at last tired that your bait has not taken. Have you a conscience? This is doubted by some, whilst others think that you have, but that it dwells far beneath its usual seat. Alexis bids you farewell.

326.--_Friday, March 26, 1852._

DOUBTFUL Principles.--I by no means acknowledge this title. It is too bad of you. You are evidently laying to my charge things which I know not, and are crucifying me for the machinations of others. Where may I ADDRESS a Letter?

EIGHTH MAY.--The advertisement under this head on the 15th is not inserted by the same party as that of the 14th.

EIGHTH MAY.--Remember my request of the 14th May. Say no more. Don’t heed other persons’ advices or devices.

345.--_Wednesday, May 19, 1852._

C. J.--Look for the third in my name. It is difficult for me to communicate through the medium of a newspaper. “Sincere Regard,” exquisite taste, but apparently no faith. I am not ungrateful. I only wish for your ADDRESS by to-morrow’s post.--J. 1851 to 1852.

359.--_Tuesday, June 29, 1852._

YOUR GOOD FRIEND regrets the step you have taken. Can it not be recalled till an explanation be given? Your honour and happiness are most sincerely desired. Quant à moi, j’ai tout perdu par vous, je resterais content si c’étoit pour vous, mais cette satisfaction m’est refusée. Santé, biens, bonheur, touts departis. Soyez heureux. Bonne foi.

362.--_Monday, July 5, 1852._

WHERE the Teuton intermixes with the slave, and three of Neptune’s great European tributaries have their source, and also vile man is restored by the revivifying powers of nature; there, clothed in humility, sits beauty enshrined in youthful loveliness. La fin ou la lutte--à toi toujours.--E. J. W.

363.--_Monday, July 5, 1852._

BOCAJ.--All’s well! Every day lessens the dreadful separation. Being obliged to agree with two dear tried friends, who saw the last, no other communication can appear, but future benefit will fully repay the present very great loss. Time and silence cannot part such faithfully attached hearts. Farewell! Keep up spirits for the sake of the ever-devoted one. All must end prosperously. July 3, 1852.

364.--_Tuesday, July 6, 1852._

K. W.--I am not changed. Why so unkind as to think so? But may not time and absence lead you to forget, beset as you will be by trials and temptations? Can you resolve to resist them? To remain firm and faithful to the end? Forget not past dangers. Have confidence in the future. Endure for a short time longer. Be cheerful; be happy; and be sure of the constant devotion of one who doats on you.

365.--_Wednesday, July 7, 1852._

WONDERFUL! Thy star in conjunction with mine against the great globe itself! nor Afric’s poisonous vapours, nor Asia’s caloric, nor America’s life-absorbing ether, nor Europa’s invigorating breezes--fortune’s sycophants, nor adversity’s treason--shall ever loose those sharp hooks of steel with which I clasp thee to my heart;--France’s terpsichorean votary, Rome’s javelined gladiator, and London’s belted champion, were never lighter of foot, nor stronger of nerve, than Fortune’s spoilt and favourite child.--E. J. W.

366.--_Friday, July 16, 1852._

IF the Writer is not mistaken, a certain party has been, is being, and will continue to be trifled with by others, so long as absence is preferred to presence.

367.--_Friday, July 16, 1852._

K. W.--How is it NO COMMUNICATION is received from Quebec upon points respecting which candour and openness were entreated, that no mistake might hereafter occur? You are besought to let nothing stand in the way of such an explanation. Let it be full, unreserved, sincere--and be sure the future must be happier to all parties by its being so. Conceal nothing. Express your wishes distinctly--fearlessly. Do not suffer those you love to act in the dark. If changed in any respect, hesitate not to say so. God bless you. Write as before.

368.--_Monday, July 19, 1852._

ABSENCE is NOT PREFERRED to PRESENCE. No, no. But I must know positively if this is from you. Then I should be only too glad to tell all immediately.

369.--_Monday, July 19, 1852._

NO CHANGE has TAKEN PLACE.--All that has been hitherto attempted has been with the view to furnish you with full particulars and a distinct account of position and prospects, but it can only be done personally. Adopt the means which have hitherto failed once more, and you shall be put in possession of all you desire to know. Soyez heureux, and hold fast the faith.--Wonderful--fragile not frail.

370.--_Wednesday, July 21, 1852._

ABSENCE--Presence.--The advertisement of the 16th (but no subsequent one, mark this) was from G., who has had more reasons than one for discontinuing a distant correspondence, on which no reliance could be placed, when a nearer one was without effect. He is sure you do not know all. The truth has been sacrificed; he does not say by whom, but not by him. To this mode of correspondence he bids adieu.

371.--_Wednesday, July 21, 1852._

K. K.--The welcome LETTER is at last RECEIVED. Let similar ones follow, but with more information, as promised and not sent. Be assured on the subject about which you are anxious. Be patient; and above all things be faithful to the deep trust reposed in you, and the reward you hope for will surely follow. The attendant is going there (B--n), and will serve the party you desire if possible. Have unlimited confidence on that party’s good wishes to you.

372.--_Saturday, July 24, 1852._

TO the COUNTERFEIT.--Continue, and fill the coffers of this leviathan. Like the statue wanting at the celebrated banquet, though absent, I am all the more present.--E. J. W.

373.--_Friday, July 30, 1852._

IT is enough: one man alone upon earth have I found noble. Away from me for ever. Cold heart and mean spirit, you have lost what millions--empires--could not have bought, but which a single word, trustfully and nobly spoken, might have made your own to all eternity. Yet are you forgiven; depart in peace; I rest in my Redeemer.

MY STAR AGAINST the ENTIRE WORLD! Neither the golden mountain nor the choicest beauty of Circassia shall ever sway my allegiance to my country. Richelieu. The pillars of corruption shall fall.--E. J. W.

396.--_Wednesday, November 10, 1852._

FLYBYNIGHT WANTS the ANCHOR.--My dearest friend, you have solved this problem wrongly, and are like Sisogenes, who made the error in the Julian Calendar, which led to very ridiculous results. I will now play Pope Gregory the 13th with you and set you right. Pride clothed in humility was merely a means to an end--the reintegration of outraged justice and the re-adjustment of her scales--and that end will be accomplished.--E. J. W.

397.--_Thursday, November 11, 1852._

FLYBYNIGHT WANTS the ANCHOR. A kingfisher has stolen the Ring of it, and Flybynight will founder.--E. J. W.

FLYBYNIGHT WANTS the ANCHOR. My dearest friend, the meanest garret in my native place, the eternal city, mighty London, is dearer to me than any palace, from the purple waves of the Mediterranean to the murky atmosphere of the Baltic. Pride, clothed in humility, though gifted with the beautiful eyes of Napoleon, on the same degree of longitude that made his fire new-stamped honour pass current, and though possessed of Aladdin’s wonderful lamp, will never sway me from my allegiance to my country--Richelieu. The pillars of corruption must fall.--E. J. W.

400.--_Tuesday, November 16, 1852._

FLYBYNIGHT WANTS the ANCHOR.--Solution--Invincible Achilles has pinioned great Neptune to the Equator, seized his trident, and with his triumphal car skimmed the boundless expanse of waters to hold communion with the Pearl of the great Eastern sea; Scandinavia’s gate has been repassed, and he now steers direct for the Pillars of Hercules: after razing corrupt and perfidious Troy to the ground, he will glide over the purple waves of the tideless sea, and pass in safety between the dreaded whirlpool and the six-headed monster--then, and not till then, the Kingfisher will restore the stolen ring, and honest pride, clothed in humility, and beauty enshrined in youthful loveliness, will be his ultimate reward! La lutte et (est) la fin.--E. J. W.

SILENCE, WHERE! Why! “Silence in the Metropolis:” Silence on the railway is good, but “Silence in the Metropolis,” remember, is excessively better.

416.--_Wednesday, January 26, 1853._

TO the HERCULEAN PILLAR (37), or Alpha the First.--The PAPERS of 1843 and 6, destined for Mary Emily, daughter of Daniel Mereweather Ford, deceased, were INTERCEPTED and transferred to another. Insulting Oppression reigns to mislead, and is opposed to Justice and Truth. Apply at 4, Spring-place, Hammersmith.

423.--_Tuesday, February 8, 1853._

G--, Arthur, and E. J. W. are inexcusable in absenting themselves from the Two Indescribables. Do not leave under a wilful delusion. Fear not. Apply personally at 4, Spring-place, Hammersmith.

CENERENTOLA.--What nonsense! Your cousin’s proposition is absurd. I have given an explanation--the true one--which has perfectly satisfied both parties--a thing which silence never could have effected. So no more such absurdity.

436.--_Wednesday, April 13, 1853._

S. T. R.--Having had occasion to imagine that a very unwarrantable and most absurd accusation has arisen against a party, of attempting to personate some one of distinction, whom he decidedly never saw, and considering all things could serve but to bring upon him well-deserved ridicule. Should such an error exist, of course it gains consistency, and if only ideal, this will ultimately produce the desideratum (of re-establishing faith in the mind of the communicative party). “Silence has proved itself in this case not to be wisdom,” as only one honest word at the origin of this ridiculous delusion would have proved its fallacy and the prevalence of truth over slander. Communicate frankly by letter to X. Y. Z. 85, Borough High-street, Southwark.

437.--_Thursday, April 14, 1853._

M. N.--You are right in your conjecture, there is a difficulty. It may be necessary to lessen the time by a month. Write exactly what you feel on the subject; and arrange, if you can, for me to communicate direct. The name of your mercury will be sufficient.--S. T.

438.--_Thursday, April 14, 1853._

W. B. B.--How absurd it is of your parents to anger me, and to threaten me with law, when one word from you would answer every purpose. You cannot have received my letter of Saturday. How shameful to mistrust, you who have ever been so dutiful a child, and who now sacrifice your feelings to satisfy them.--W. B. B.

439.--_Saturday, April 16, 1853._

TO G.--The hope of one who could have sincerely perished for thee is utterly destroyed. The Unknown Admirer feels acutely the grief and pain the past must have occasioned in the mind of G. Forgive the past, and no more will be heard of the sincere Unknown Admirer.--Paris.

S. T. R.--Second Appeal.--Would you play the philanthropist’s part, and act as mediator to remove that profound mystery which prevails (I think) equally on both sides? Not having heard of the nature of the fault imputed to me, I could not justify myself in publishing a denial to what possibly never existed. I anxiously await a candid explanation before I proceed, for in my state of doubt reason imposes silence, which oft-times is the evidence of guilt; but as you must be fully convinced that I could now have no motive in continuing the deception, whatever you may suppose me formerly to have had, state where letters can reach you. Address (as before) to X. Y. Z. W’s letter duly arrived, but the tone of it I cannot understand.

442.--_Saturday, April 30, 1853._

S. to W.--Your WIFE wishes to JOIN YOU, but must first know more. Your first letter is not received. You may trust me. It is out of the power of my friends to promise secrecy, others being concerned; but they will not voluntarily expose you to injury. H. has another important letter for you.

443.--_Monday, May 2, 1853._

RECEIVED your LETTER with great pleasure, but with great regret for the pain you have suffered. What you desire so much would only keep alive the subject in your mind, besides would cause grave suspicions if discovered, and render nugatory all that has been done, which would be lamentable indeed. The other reason you mention has no influence whatever. Above all, to retrace your steps would be most unwise, rendering everything still more nugatory than in the other case. Consider the consequences and the pain which the sacrifices that have been made (but which do not suppose regretted), having been thrown away, would cause to others. I have gone away for five years for that reason. The initials had better be omitted, and I therefore do so. This will be copied by the lady you mention, and sent you as agreed upon. May God bless you always.

PITY.--Yes.--The future of a buried heart and conscience! It is more than unfeeling to seize the unhappy hour of a weak and erring heart to influence it, to violate its whole nature, abandon the tenderest ties, and make it for ever bankrupt of every true and proper feeling. Remorse, and one day you will feel it.
