While, ia that family, he married a fellow^fjervant, a yotftdg woman whofe name was-Mary Coates/i-knd theyjlived for more than feven years very happily together. They had one child living, a fine little bJ^|fabout fix years old, whom they maintained at a fihool, kept fome miles from town by Mary's fathJslJ This was thought better than putting him to fchbol in London, as he was under an affectionate relation, and lefs expofed to the company of wicked children. John and his wife got leave from time to time to vifit their child, and were always able to take him one little article or other of clothes, as well as a fmall prefent to the grandfather. Thus comfortable were John and Mary, and had John been religious like his wife, they would have had a very fair profpect of continuing fo. He, like many others, thought Religion rather an unnecef- fary .thing for a man who made it a rule to be fober, and honeft, and diligent, and kind. Befides A a the 1 * ) .the other very important confideratioris agamft ■which he fhut his heart, he did not reflect that without religion his good conduct to his family and his mafter flood on no folid foundation. One unfortunate day as he was going on a mef* fage, he received a hand-bill from a man Handing at the door of a Lottery Office. This hand-bill fet forth many wonders, and invited all who had a mind to be rich in a hurry, to feiEe the lucky hour of adventuring in the wheel of fortune ;.fhew- ing them how many thoufand pounds they would be fure to get for one guinea! Calling his eye over the advertifement, the thought ftruck him that he would try his fortune. ' Why may not I get a prize as well as another?' faid he to himlelf/ * and if I get the twenty thoufand pound prize, of tven one of the ten thoufands, I fhall be as great a man as my mafter? It was a woeful moment for poor John, when this imagination faf- tened on his mind. Full of the notion of getting rich, John returned home, and appeared all that day unufually thoughtful. At night, as he was not ufed to conceal any thing from his wife* he told her his intention. ' Molly, (faid he) we have juft got our wages, and the drawing begins to-mor* row; fuppofe we try our fortune in the Lottery. Not with my confent, fhe replied ; I think we are rich enough as we are, and ought to be thankful to God that we want for nothing. John was o- bliged to acknowledge this; but obferved that it would do them no harm to have fomething more. Indeed, but it might, (faid Molly) for you know> John, God is the bell judge of what is good for us, and it is his Providence that has placed us in our pre- A & fent v p "****£ e MTWH -JO- fent fituation. If he faw that tnore riches would do us good, I believe he would fend them to us in. an honeft way:-but I am fureyou and I know fome: people, that are not at all the better for their riches, no nor the happier either.' 'But what harm (faid he)- can there be in trying our fortune?' I I know there is harm, (replied his wife, who was Well, read in the Bible,) I know there is harm in covetoufnefs ; for the word of God fays, Be content withfuch things ss you have i and he that maketh hajie to be richjhall toot be innocent; and the love of money is the root of sll evil. For my part I am very,, well fatisfied as I Am, and when I think of the poverty and diftrefs our bleffed Saviour fubmitted to, I find great reafon to praife him for the abundance we enjoy. Befides trying our fortune, as you call it, is no better than tempting God, who is the real giver of what men. xfay fortune gives them. Our bleffed Saviour re- fufed, you know, when he failed in the wildernefs to act in an extraordinary manner, in order that God might give him riches and others things, for ihe faid that would be tempting God: and what would going into the Lottery be but tempting God, for would it not be taking an extraordinary courfe in order to try whether God would make us rich ? But, my dear, what has put this matter into your head ?' John pulled the hand-bill out of his pocket, ancj explained to her, as well as he could, all the wonderful advantages which it promifed. This did not fatisfy his wife: and fhe wifely obferved, that if there were fo much to be got by thefe fame tickets, it was ftrange that the people who fold them would not rather keep them for themfelves. £ But do you not fee there before your eyes (faid Jdhp) the num. bes ij. n £ m i ( 5 1 ber of prizes that were fbjd laft year at the Lions Office?' .« Well (replied his wife) I wifh they had publifhed the number of blanks that were, fold too s But ah! John, there are a great many lies in print r and to tell you the truth, I fancy it is all a gambling trick, and that, the people who fell thefe tickets are little better than knaves., and the folks who buy them no better than fools. And you know* my dear, our little boy wants clothes, and this it the time that you generally take fomething to his old grand-father. Sure (faid fhe, while a tear Hole down her cheek) you will not forget our deaf Johnny/ JJut all her arguments were in vain; and he concluded the converfation rather peevifhly, •with declaring. ' It is a folly to talk ; I am refolved to try.' His wife wiped her eyes, and only faid with a figh, «I am forry for it.' He had never grieved her-kfo much before.' That night John flept little; he was anxioufly debating which of the various modes of adventuring was to be preferred, and laying a thoufand plans as to what he would do upon getting his expected riches. Early next day he got from his wife fome? money which he had given her to keep; and making a falfe excufe of bufinefs for leaving home, he hurried to the Lottery Office. There, looking at various tickets, and fhares, and policies that werd Ihewn, out of feveral numbers that he was informed were peculiarly lucky, he felected one ticket. Butv as he was returning with it home, beginning to thihlc that it was foolifh to fpend all bis luck (as he called it) upon one number, he went^^ack, and changed the ticket for fix policies, which he got at a guinea a piece. | Well (faid b/e) as he put them in his A, 3 pockets. fSflBP" pocket, they can never be all drawn blanks.' Upon hearing that the ticket he had taken firft was drawn the next day a prize often pounds, he thanked his ftars that he had parted with it, as he fhould by ho meaj?s:be fatisfied with gaining fo little as two pr three pounds, by his venture. John now became hourly anxious to know whether his numbers were drawn or not, and often neglected his bufinefs to enquire after them. He appeared thoughtful and gloomy in the houfe; and fometimes gave his mafter a very fhort anfwer, if he found fault with him. All in the family wondered Sat'the entire change in his conduct:—his poor wife alone gueffed at the caufe. To her he now obferv- ed an entire filence upon the fubject, as he had found her fo decided againft his venturing in the Lottery. But one day, when he had come home after hearing that two of his numbers were drawn blanks, and a third drawn a 10I. prize, (from which he of tourfe got nothing,) fhe affectionately feized his hand, and with a flood of tears afked him why he had been for fome days fo peevifh to her. ' My deareft hufband, (faid fhe) it was never fo with you, before fince our-marriage. If I have done any thing lately to offend you, I am ready to go. on ra,y lpees to afk your pardon. Only do not- break my fieart by behaving as if you did not love me.'-r- | Pughl Woman! (replied he fullenly)—don't make a fool of yourfelf.'- | Alas.l (faid fhe) is it folly to- be grieved at feeing you unhappy, or at the fear of haying difpleafed you?; But, ah I I fear the Lottery is the cawfe. I thought no good would come of it.' rM-611.y perceived that his mind was in a State of vexation; and therefore did not prefs the.- - (. I) fu&jf|£ then. ;J3ut.in the evening fhe took an op- poruinity.^of tqnderly entreating him to reft fatisfied under any lofs he had already fuffered, without venturing: farther; obferving that he might thus, learn a leffon which might be ufeful to him all his life; but that in the courfe in which he was he could not; expect the bleffing of God.—'And furely (added fhe) ,we fhall be richer with that bleffing and a few worldly comforts, than if we had all the yrprld without it. Ah! John! there is indeed, as our.cjayiour fays, but one thing needful. What matter whether we be rich or poor in this life, if we get to.heaven at.laft? And truly God is fo gracious a.mafter, that his fervice brings peace and comfort with it even here: while on the contrary, thofe who jgfe their hearts upon the world, do not even find .i^JLt^jiow the enjoyment which they feek; not to fay, that if they gained the whole world, and lofl their g^n fouls, they would make a fool's bargain.' Though John feldom read his Bible; yet he knew enough..o*.jit, to be fatisfied, that what fhe faid was all very true; and fhe fpoke with fo much gentle- nefs andj affection, that he could not take it amifs. He then promifed her, that he would not throw away any more money in the Lottery. She thanked God for her hufband's refolution, and prayed that ij^might, have'grace to keep it. But wifhing to withdraw him from the fcene of temptation, fhe proposed that he fhould afk, leave of his mafter to vifit their little child in the country. To this John con- fented, and eafily obtained permiffion. It was with joy that:'Molly faw him fet off next morning; but jffij little thought how foon her joy was to be fuc- ceeded by the biuereft'.forrow. Her hufband's heart A ^ was; -i if I f 1 "M"'){ll" I 1 S m m > was flill hankering, after his three, numbers that re* mained in the wheel; and as the drawing was pretty far advanced, he became every day more anxious! and impatient. He therefore refolyed, inftead off leaving town that- day, to fpend it in the place where the drawing was going on. s Who knows (faid he to himfelf) but I may return to my wife, this even-., ing, with news that will make her own, that I did right in trying my fortune?' As';he was. on his way, he came to a famous office for infuring numbers. John, had often heard of infuring, but did not well, know what it meant. Haying however become a gambv ler, he had an itch after trying h.is fortune in this, way alfo. He. therefore ftepped into, the office. ' I want (faid he) to. injure ;f1 xmt I. don't know how to do itj nor indeed what it is.,; ^Sir, (replied a well-dreft man behind the counter) yoifetre perfecV }y right. Infuring, Sir, is. the only way to mafiS inoney; and I will explain, it all to you in a. mo^ ment with the greateft pleafure.' John thanked his honour. «. Only give me (continueti't^e other), the trifling premium of 6s. iod. on ariy number you choofe, and if it, be drawn either. blarliP^ prize tn;:the' courfe of the day, you, may call on, me for Five Guineas, and they will be paid you, down upon the nail: hard guineas, Sir, hard aifdi Iheavy. There is no office in the city that, pays Hits with fo much honour as this. I htnl demands on me yefterday to the tune of 300I. and^/adl were ahfweredas fodiras called for.' ' Well, (faid John, vho had hot the wit to afk himfelf hoivthe gentleman came to be fp finely dreft while he was lofing fo rnuch nioney,) * Well, and. if the number be rieft; <irawn torday ai.allj will you give me any thing?' (9) c Of Sir (replied office-keeper) as to that, it is- very unlikely. And really^ it is hot any intereft I have in this, that makes me carry on the bu- finefs; but a pleafure I have in offering betted terms to my cuftomers than any other office in London qan boaft of. And I would recommend it to you, as a friend, to infure at leaft ten or twelve numbers; that you may be certain of winning. Take my word for it that is playing a. fure game. Five Guineas, Sir, for 6s. iod. I think ©f that.' The cunning office-keeper was fo friendly and fo obliging,' that he eafily prevailed on John to infure his three remaining numbers, befides fes veral • others, for'that day. The poor man now thought it was hardly poffible but that he muft put. fomething in his pocket. ' Whether, the-nufiabers. (thought he) -be drawn blanks or prizes J get money: and if any of my three remaining policies, turn up the io,oool. prize, my fortune is made. It is yet in the wheel; and why may not I get it as Well as another?' Full of this thought he haftened to watch the drawing; while the office-keeper, as he went out, put the money in his pocket and his- 1 tongue in his cheek, fneering at John's fimplicity. John found at the place of drawing a number of1 drunken, ragged, blafpheming wretches. Their appearance and language at firft fhocked him; efpe- cially when he heard one and another curfing themfelves for their folly in trying their fortune.' But he now became all attention to the numbers that were declared as foon as drawn> and his heart beat, whenever any one near his own was mentioned. In a little time, wearied with expectation, lie began to-imitate the example of others around- liitattiH juuMi *y WB him in laying wagers,. whether^ the nwrpbef nfi-Kt* drawn would be a blank or fnri/le: and a decent looking man, who fat near, foon engaged with him in the bufinefs. The ftranger, who. knew better than John how to reckon chances, let him win a fewfhillings at firft; but foon ftript him of every ferthing in his pocket. He was afhamed to con- iefs that'he had no .more money, and the fpirit of Gaming having now completely feized him, he hurried back to his mailer's houfe; and when his wife with furprize afked the caufe of his fudden appearance, he pretended that he recollected on his way to thei«ttkitle- boy fome article which he had fo,r^ gotten to take with him, and returned for it. He had not been.ufed to lyiSJjgs, but having now com-. menced'Gamefter, he was going^pn ftep by:ftep ixi wickednefs. His poor wife perceived confufion and diftrefs in his countenance; but believing what he faid, fhe made no farther enquiries, and only •urged hjrn" to haiten his departure. She knew not that he took away with him a .filver^gjoblet and fome fpoons,i^hich belonged to; his; ^rnaftera j and were under his?:care, r {Thefe he immediately pawned^ expecting that he fhould,be able, to releafe them before they would be miffed. But fooher or later the devil always--leaves his fervants, in the lurch: and fo he now ferved John.- With the money thus wickedly obtained he returned to the place of drawing, and arrived jdjjjfe time enough to lofe it all, except a few {hillings, before that day's drawing ended. Stung with vexation he came o,ut into the ftreet, curfing him- felf, and curfing others; and hurriejd along with fome of hi,s nev companions ^o a public houfe. hW- Public f ti ) Public houfes in his better days he had not been accuftomed te^.frequent. The liquor which he drank to drown care foon inflamed him to madnefs, and prepared him for every thing that was bad. Atone" moment he thought of putting an end \q his own life, which had now become a burden. Alas! had he followed the advice of his wife, or taken the word ofcGoD for his direction, how different would his fituation have been! He knew not now what to do. Return home he durft not; for he dreaded the thought of its being difcovered that he had embezzled his matter's property. And to continue adventuring in the Lottery he had riot the means. His mind was torn by various paffions; it was a kind of Hell. BuChe was not truly penitent for his offence; and did not pray to God for His gracious affiftance: he therefore went on front' bad to worfe*. His companions, more hardened jfaj wickednefs, laughed at his diftrefs. He heard them with furprife boaft of the various cheats by which they fupported themfelves in their villainy. But one of them took him afide into an inner room,, an,d after they had called for more drink, told him plainly that he was a blockhead for being fo much call down by his lpffesj and that if he had only fpirit ?nough,he might foon have as full a purfe as ever. Firft fwearing John to "fecrecy, he propofed that they fhould join together in a fcheme which he had formed of committing a highway robbery that night. He mentioned a gentleman who was to return to town with a fum. of money late in the evening by ^he JEdgeware road,; and affured John of getting a rich and eafy booty. | I lived in this gentleman's ifemily (faid he); till a year ago; and a good fervice i 1 i - 'I: f s i } ft was, fork! had high wages anji little work. But truly becaufe I got drunk now and then, he parted with me, and would not give me a character for fo- brie^y, and I have been out of place ever finee. But I am now my own mafter; get money, in an eafier way, and. drink as much as I pleafe. A fhort , tte and a merry one, fay I.' John was at firft ftartled fey the propofal; but after a moment's paufe, ob- ferved with an oath, that he was in for it, and would not flinch. He was foon furnffhed with piftols by his companion, whofe name was Smith; but when John took them, he expreffed a hope that there jrtight be no blood fhed. They fallied forth together, and lay concealed m a field near the road, A few days before John would have ftarted with horror at the thought of being engaged in fuch a bufinefs: but when a man once gives way to what is evil, it is impoffible to lay where he will flop. The expected gentleman foon arrived; when rufhing cut, one of them feiz- ed the reins of his horfe, while the other held a piftol to his breaft, and with horrid oaths demanded his money. The gentleman, a Mr.- Stewart, immediately fnapped a piftol, which miffed fire; and both the robbers discharging theirs, fhot him dead on the fpot„ They had hardly time to rifle his pockets,, when the neighbourhood was alarmed by the report of the. piftols, and they were obliged to fly with all fpeed: hut being favoured by the darknefsoffthe night, they got clear off from their, purfuersv After haftily fharing the fpoils, and again fwearing. each other to fecrecy, (as if oaths could bind villains,) they feparated for greater fafety, and foent the remainder of the night at different houfes H c 131 of ill-fame. But John's mind, wasjiow racked with remorfe, and guilt was vifible in *his countenance. When day-light came, he endeavoured to compote himfelf to fleep; but in vain: the image of the perfon whom he had murdered haunted his imagination ; and ^he torment of his* eonfcience was al- moft more grievous than the punifhment of the la% which he dreaded. He had intended to employ his ill-gotten gain in trying his fortune farther in the Lottery, that curfed Lottery which had brought on all his mifery; and had he done fo, it is moftprd- bable that he would have been ftripped as he was the day before. But all courage now failed him; and being afraid to appear in public, he flunk to his mailer's houfe at an early hour, and indulged the hope that as there was no witneffs of the horrid deed but himfelf and his companion, it would re- mainliiindifeovered for ever. He little remembered that God's eye faw it; and that his Providence fel- dom (if ever) fuffers fuch wickednefs to pafs u|t« punifhed, even in this world. His wife, though furprifed at her hufband'* fpeedy arrival, welcomed him with affection; arid tenderly enquired after the welfare of their little boy. % Afk no queftions, Woman!' was his only reply. She was ftruck dumb with aftonifhment: but when fhe perceived a piftol under his coat, fhe clafped her hands in an agony of horror; and not daring to afk a queftion, fhe funk on the chair, and trembled like afpen leaf. The robbery and murder now became the talk of the town; and John's mafter afked him whether .he had heard any thing of the circumftances. He, ihad ouly power .to anfwer, * No^-$ir,? with a faul- tering rV 3 4 l\ 1 i ), tering voice; ftBut^ how did his heart fink within him, when he heard foon after that his companioh (who had been a notorious offender) was taken up on fufpicion of having committed the fact! yet he ftill thought there was no evidence that could prove the charge. Every rap at the door ftartled him. j&rery perfon that looked at him feemed to know his guilt. He fometimes thought of flying; but again determined to ftand his ground, left his ab- dfepnding fhould occafion an immediate purfuit. Some days paffed thus, and he began to flatter himfelf that all was fafe. But as he lay one night fleeplefs and toffing, his afflicted wife weeping by his fide and afraid to enquire into the caufe of his fituation, a noife was heard at the door; and on its opening, the officers of a juftice entered to apprehend him. Smith had turned king's evidence to fe- cure his own life; fo little confidence can villains place in each other. John was now dragged pale and trembling to Newgate, while poor Molly clung to him fhrieking, and faintod away as foon as they entered the prifqn. When fhe came to herfelf, fhe felt that her heart was broken. She never raifed her head, again. Yet fhe attended him clofely for a while; but pined, and foon funk beneath the weight of her affliction. With her dying breath fhe prayed, that her hufband might be brought to repentance, and might yet obtain mercy at the hands of God. When»brought to the bar, he caft a look of indignation and reproach at his accomplice, who now appeared as evidence againft him; which the other returned with a malicious fneer. His guilt was clearly proved all : circumftances confirmed it. When the Judge was going to pafs fentence; he WW cried i 11 c p I cried out for a long day. Oh iff ata" l'Ong'-%my*!*fieve, granted to every man fentenfced to fuffeiH death; €ven%)%L.murderer! But in the cafe of murderers the law determines otherwife, and it was not the bufinefs of the Judge to give his opinion of the law, but to pafs its fentence. He addreffed John as follows: j'^TJnhappy man! you feem to have fcft"- . gotten that in the murder of Mr. Stewart you allowed him no time. In a moment, and without provocation,, you fent a worthy perfon who had never harmed you into Eternity. The laws of God and man demand your forfeited life. You -muft prepare for alrrioft immediate execution. Your fate will, I truft, be an awful warning to many. You might have lived long, ufeful, and refpected, had you been content with what you acquired by honeft induftry; had not the defire of hafty and unrighteous gain taken poffeffion of your heart. I mourn over -the exiftence of fuch a public nui- fance as appears to have been the firft occafion '"•of your fall: and! cannot help declaring, that I have never fat upon this bench after the drawing of the Lottery, but It had reafon to think it had proved the ruin of many of the unhappy culprits who appeared before me. I would ear- rieftly exhort the crowds that hear me to abhor the thoughts of adventuring in it, and to fly from it - as from a plague, which will deftroy domeftic hap- pinefs and inward peace, and bring upon them, every kind of diftrefs. Prifoner! I mourn that others fhould be involved in your calamity, who have not been partners in your guilt;, that an amiable and virtuous woman (as I am informed) fhould have died broken-hearted on your account; [here i £ -^v JJU» *&. ■'•■ ■■'■■■:.
