TIIE BILL COLLECTOR, A Most Myaterloua Acquaintance. He -was a peculiar-looking person, not more than thirty, I should say, with a face full of points ; rather tall, with an easy, shambling gait ; scarcely well dressed ; hardly a gentleman, and if not a gentleman what? When I say "a face full of points," I de not mean in tellectual points, reflective points, vici ous points, in fact, any ordinary or ex traordinary points, but rather a face full of possibilities. ' WTas he an actor, an artist, an eccentric man. of letters ? After considerable scrutiny, I decided "No." Wm bo a nrnfancmn.l kind ? Since nowadavs th nrofpsainna are bo varied, I said, after much hesita tion, "Yes, a professional." The de cision availed little. Meanwhile the man's presence had a fascination for me. As I occasionally met his small blue-gray eye, suspicions of his being a detective were indulged in ; but he lacked the hard expression and the se cretive air acquired by that odious yet necessary member of society. This was a few years ago, on the long colonnade of Congress Hall, in Sarato ga. My man would take a position fav orable for seeing the world which surg ed to and fro, and there he would sit nearly all the morning, nearly all the afternoon, not talking with anybody, doing literally nothing, except in the way of observation. I did tot once see kim speaking with a human being. It was all the Bame to hira, I am, sure, for he wore perpetually that easy, vaga bondish look. I resolved to fronfl ac quaintance with him. Taking advantage of a vacant seat next him, I sat down. "A fine-day?" ' It was with this original observation I commenced the attack. He actually turned and looked me full in the face, as much as to say, "Who the deuce are you, and what object can you have in speaking to me ?" A pleas ant look, nevertheless, though not un mixed with suspicion. After he had satisfied himself apparently, he replied, "Very." The answer certainly was not provocative of further conversation ; still it was not spoken inta sharp, cut off tone, but dropped from his lips in an acquiescing, amiable way, as if here was a congenial subject op which -wo could exchange fonfidences. "Do you know," I said, "that, of "all the people I have seen here, you appear to be most enjoying yourself." "How is that?" He uttered "How is that ?" in the easiest, most companionable tone im aginable, as if we were old friends about to enjoy a Bnug, cozy chat. "Why, you seem to take.things philo sophically, aad to make of Saratoga, what in reality it should be. a place to 1 rest and recreate in." "Well, you have hit myase, that's a fact it is rest that I am after! though I don't cre much for the recreation." I " You don't look overworked." "Don't I? That is strange. It is owing to my native vigor, I guess. Per haps you won't believe me if I tell you I am the hardest-worked man in New York city more than that the most im-posed-on individual in that little village the very most." " I am sorry to hear it. I confess I can't find the least trace of what you complain of in your countenance. By-the-way," I continued, "your face is very familiar to me. Where have I seen you?" - My companion's manner suddenly changed. He looked at me in a curious and prying, not to say offensive, way. " No, it isn't so," h presently ejacu lated, by way of soliloquy.- " We never got acquainted am downright sure." . " I did not intimate that we had," I replied, tartly. " I said your face was familiar.", " Oh, that may be that may be ; easy enough, if you belong to New York. I am around, you may be cer tain of that." " How as to your being bo much im posed upon ?" " I could not , explain unless I told you my business, and I sink the shop when I leave home. Don't 1 enjoy it here I" he stretched his legs at full length, and they were very long. ".Nothing to bother me ; no care, no responsibility." ' " And no one to impose on "you," I put in. He laughed. " You are curious to find out who I am. I saw that plain r X. C SATURDAY. enough yesterday. You took my War ing all sort of waya. Yoa can't gaeea now." ; " No, I piTe it up." " Well, I may call mylf a philos opher. My life ia spent in studies of human nature that makes a philos opher, doesn't it ?" . I aanented, and he went on. " My father intended me for a lawyer, but it was too narrow busine-It little scope for real gc niu not exciU ment enough. In fact, I invented tar present occupation not to say invent ed,' .exactly, but I struck out a new path, a new mode of treatment, baaed on truly humane principles. Nut but what I can be severe if neceas.ry, yet it seldom i neceaaary. New and varied acquaintances, th intimate raraifica tious of society, the myateriea of this mundane life, the weaknesses and foi bles of. humankind, all pass in review before me philosophically interesting in short, sir, interesting ia every way !" Tins was delivered in ahighlv rhetor ical tone and manner, and with" such a gleam of those blue-gray eyes, that for a moment I doubted my companion's sanity. " But you have not told me what the ccupation is," I interposed. " It is difficult to comprehend and embrace it by, any known appellation. To tell you in one word would be im possible ; I should have to enter large ly into the subject." "Just what would most interest me." " Do you understand," continued he, grandiloquent!y, "the antagonism be tween buyer and seller, employer and employed, first man, middle m'an. and public ?" " Something of this I have paid atten tion to." " Well, you are also familiar with the credit system ? " He brought one of his little twinkling orbs to bear on me in a manner m deli cately insinuating, that I could iosi tively feel myself changing color. I nodded. "The credit system, sir the greatest blessing of civilization, and the most absurd of all our blessings. Have you ever considered, sir, of the millions on millions of individuals on this glolx who are benefitted, I may say vivified, by it ? Do you know to what it is con stantly subject ? Did it ever occur to von that to lo in such case the medium between persons holding opposite rela tions is one of the noblest mission- of humanity ? And yet," he added, with an entire change of voice, and in a tone exceedingly pathetic, "how wearisome, how hever-ending the toil." "In other words," I said, beginning to be. weary of his circumlocution, "you are " " A collector 1 there !" he exclaimed, "I see you are disappointed. I knw you woutd bo so. (It was impossible for me not to show it at such an im potent conclusion.) But hold on. I told you no one word would define what I meant, and. I have got to go into the subject with you." I signified my wish forhim toproceed. " Yes, you may call me a collector. Understand, I treat the busiuess on the higliest grounds of psychology, hu manity, and animal magnetism. I shall explain. I have for my constituents doctors and dentists, retail merchants of every sort, first-class mechanics, and so on, and so on. Lawyers and clergy men have little occasion for my services; but undertakers fashionable under takers frequently call in my assistance. Imagine me with hundreds of these bills in hand, ranging from ten dollars to a thousand dollars. I don't refuse the very smallest. These bills are against persons of all crades of resner- tability. Often, when put in my baud. they are accompanied by a suggestion which the principal thinks he ought to make, but which he does not expect will influence me much nor does it. For example, he will say, I want you to collect one hundred and three dollars fronvJones. You must be sure to treat him with courtesy and not wound his feelings he is a gentleman.' Now, if I find Jones to be really a gentleman, as is often the case, I hae no difficulty. Perhaps he will tell me he can't pay at present, and will explain why. The explain part may all be manufactured out of whole cloth to save his pride ; but I accept his statement of inahilittv and I sympathize with all my magnetism l.T- 1 1. i; I - I "u u" ri'. ur, nun a."b. m in vo ui ill own time, when I shall call for the money. He dislikes to fix too distant a day, but he postpones, say, for three weeks. I accept, the date with alacrity. I produce my memorandum-book. Let me see that will bring it to Thursday, June 4th. Am very much obliged to you, Mr. Jones. I will cal 1 on (hat day;' and I look at him courteously, but with a full magnetic current, by which lam brought into a peculiar relation with that man, and he feels I mean busi ness." " Does he pay on the day ?" " Not always. Perhaps he will give me a part, and manufactures another excuse poor fellows ! why will they lie so? or, he may really I e obliged to fmt me off again for the whole recol ect, I am talking of a gentleman, and no mistake ; then I bring a stronger current to bear, but always as the same polite ,' your humble servant,' and the next fetches it. Why, such a man feels as much relieved' when he pays one of my bills as a criminal does at a verdict of not guilty. -Can't explain it myself magnetism all magnetism !" " You have given me, I should judge, a very gentle example. You have much harder cases ?" " I should say so ! I was about to tell you. After seeing my people once I call them my people, for I take an affectionate interest in them all after seeing them once, I classify right off know just how to deal with each type, just exactly. " You have many divisions ? ' A good many reduce down to as few as possible. Besides the type I have just mentioned, is the good-natured, careless fellow, able to pay, not quite ready, because he won't take the trouble to raise the money. These are difficult cases very hard to bring them into magnetic relations with me. I present tho bflL Thunder I isn't that paid ? It ought to have been paid long ago I No money to-day not a stiver ; too bad, isn't it V VWLe shall I call G AZE MAY 17. 1873 ajrain ?

If I ran grt hia anber attention I am a'l right, but the chan ces are he will chaff turn two vr three times, and, aa he is a good Ullww, taj Jereverance is rewarded at last. " Thus far I dou t are the dark side of the picture." " Will come to it presently. I mut get on methodically. Ymi muat l-ear in mind, xl have often a double trial. A physician sends for me J.e is dtper- ately hard up. Take these accounts,' i L says recollect, money I mut have.' I go ahead. The first person I j call on flisa in a pasion. It is not I possible ! I, can't Wlire it ; I dou't ! believe it ! Why, I sent the doctor 1 fifty dollars last week, with word Le muat wait another nioLth for the bal- 4 ance ; he sent answrr it was all rijrht, I and now he has pot it in the handeof a j collector ierfrctly shameful, consider- I ing the amount of money I hare paid I him. I try to explain. I ta k of a t sudden Io, of I don't know what ele, j but the man has got me down on mac- j netism, and he keens me down. He t defies the doctor, and looks at me as if j I were a swindler. He will rav it in a month, and no sooner, jut a screed I on wouIJu t pay sooner if he had the cah in his pocket. I get out of the house the easiest way possible. bare made no mistake, but the doctor has. I report to him. He at once blown me up for being too pressing ; too profes sional ; for not managing better, sut how. I accept the talk ; it don't mean anything. 1 know that, but it in t pleanant no, it isn't p!eaai.t. The chances are, the doctor w ill write to hia fatient, tell him a direct falehfMd, iow the account got by accident into my hand, that I acted without orders ; hoping the matter will le overlooked. Poor man, to tell such a lie juit for nothing how humiliating." Others go further. I had a bill for nine hundred dollars against will, a very pretty, fashionable woman. It was for all sorts of fancy goods. The mer chant thought life eople were getting shaky. "We must look very sharp," he said, "or we shall lose this. ' I bad no idea of losing it. I called io the morn ing, about ten ; mv lady had not been to breakfast. I called at one, she was engaged ; at six, she was at dinner ; later in the evening, she was at the opera. By dint f extraordinary perac vermce I succeeded, through Jhe ser vant, in getting her to name an hour when she would Lm at home. She was at home, but dressed for a drive, and could not stop a minute to see me. She was impertinent, very. I always call that a good sign, jnt as getting angry is a good sign. "Who sent me?" she wanted to know that. " No one sends me, madame," I said ; "it is my own business I am conducting, which is that of collecting bills which are considered a little doubtful or difficult," "Doubt ful ! do you call a bill against me doubt ful?" "With entire respect, I must say I do." She rushed in the carriage in a rage, and was off. The nr xt day she called at my client's store and pai'il up every cent ! My man was so much in fluenced bv her statement of my con duct, coupled with the possession of the money, that he took me to tak for do ing my duty, although those folks failed in thirty days fr m that time. . My feel ings were very much hurt, but I could afford to pity the man. I pity all who prevaricate and lie, and he did botlu The collector drew a long breath, and continued: "Next come the nnfortnnates who are so hard-pressed they really can't pay, but they are ashamed to own it. Why, if folks would come right out, honor bright, and say, Vc can't do it, there's no use talking,' I would wait a whole year; but they say 'next week,' and next month,' and "in a fortnight,' and very soon indeed, probably Thursday. Now, I alway krrp an ajijfAntmmt and if you could hear how, time after time, running through a year or two years, new excuses are fabricated for each occasion, yon wouldn't wonder at my nity for these poor, wretched, de graded souls." " But I should think, understanding their situation, you would let them know it kindly, and save yourself much running." "That is not my occupation. Mv oc cupation is to ctjllrrt the tnon'y, and I ; expect io run after it. Yes, noUnly runs like me ; morning, noon, and inte the night. But I don't mind it." "You have said nothing of those who impose on you." "Ah.it is only when my people un dertake to impose on roe that my genius rises to the occasion. I once had a bill against a club-man only fifteen dol lars. You would know dim if I men tioned his name. He never pays any thing belongs to two first-class clul-s. I followed him from one to the other ; he would make appointments as often as I liked, but never kept them was of the pomjKms sort. One day he would be going to receive a check ; another day he would show it to me ; it was to W eashed in the morning, and I should le paid. Then he would go to Wash ington, and no one knows where. I lost his track once for three months. At last I caught him at the Club. He looked very lofty. Thomas said he to the waiter, change this bill for me. The waiter took it, and presently returned. It was too large. 4 You see how it is, said the magnate ; ' if the boy could change the note, I would give you your money. You will have to call again. 4 now large is it?' I asked. 4 A hundred dollars,' said he. 4 1 can change it for you, (you see, the big bill dodge is not uncommon, and I go pro vided) ; so I took the hundred dollars counted him out eighty-fire.

But it waa imiosib!e for him to comply ; Le had a large party to dinner some twenty or thirty persons of the highest rank, '.in cluding princes. The young author not discouraged by Una Ui faculty. With surprising realinesa and boldness he suggested that His Highnesa should bring the whole party on to the theatre I The Duke was not displeased, and merely suggested another difficulty. His dinner was to be at six, while the plav began at seven. The petitioner had another suggestion ready ; the play could be put an hour later and the din ner an hoar earlier ! Strange to say, the Duke inclined to the idea. But would the theatre agree ; and where waa such a party to be placed ? The theatre would agree, and the author had already reserved the grand gallery, hoping that the Duke might consent. The latter smiled, and agreed, and from that day Dumaa date the comment ment of his success in life. Wwraw Farrr. J. E.
