He fled into the city and hid himself there, until, with a new face, a new name, and a temper steeled by obdurate fortune, he could recom- mence his great career, and become at length a serviceable engine for the use of the grand masters of fraud and delusion. His first plunge from the church into the world was attended with many vague and painful emotions, resembling remorse, but soon degenerating into selfish spleen and rage at his own imprudence. Quickly then he consoled himself with lively ...occupation, and in the office of a scurrilous paper, to which his ready talent at lampoon had in- troduced him, began a study of that vei-itable hell, the metropolitan press. Here he found the worst and the best crowded together, the devil elbowing the saint, the man of talent alternately ousted by and ousting the fool. With a rank and ceaseless appetite, his in- telligence absorbed and assimilated falsehood and corruption. He became an adept in the wickedness of cities, and by daily assidu- ity secured for himself the means of nightly debauchery.
