perfectly optional whether he would fight
or forbear. The same may be true with
regard to the challenged in most cases.,
| know that it is often said that duelists
do not intend to kill and that they are, in
principle opposed to the practice. But,
in reply, it may be asked why they make
1.-THE skl(ul use Of deadly weapons part Of
their education from youth to manhood?
And why is il considered among such as an
attainment of high distinction to be able
to split a ball upon the edge of
razor at the usual distance Of duelling?
And why do they, upon the field, aim at
each others life? The whole history of
such transactions, from their completion,
whether prosecuted with dreadful haste"
or with greater deliberation, evinces the ex-
is,ence of cold-blooded system, of taking
away human life by the hand of violence.
Again: this practice involves direct in-
suit TO Jehovah's image for in one of the
passages which stands at the head of this
discourse, shedding mans blood is inter-
dicted, for the reason that he was made in
the image Of God and although now,
Through the apostacy the crown has fallen
from his head, and his original glory has
departed, yet his condition is common to
the whole race, and he still retains the nat
ural image of Jehovah. and through Divine
mercy and grace is capable of recovering
Gods moral image The life Of being
capacta,ed as man is, bought with the
blood of the son of God, as he has been,
and destined to an eternal perpetuity Of ex-
istence, as he is, must not be wantoned with,
and cannot be, without the offer of di-
rect indignity to the image as well as a
fragrant contempt for the authority of God,
And in the very act of exposing himself
to DEATH at the very instant in which his
own life, and that of his antagonist is at
stake, when they both run the risk of being
hurried into the presence of their Judge. in
the very act Of offending him, the duelist
deliberately prefers the favor of man to the
smile and approval of Jehovah seeking
the honor which comes from man, rather
than that which comes from God.
/ cannot better close this branch Of the.
subject, than in the foreible language Of
President Mott ssYou will say that the
duelist feels no malice. Be it so. Malice,
indeed, is murder inprinciple. But there
may be murder in reason !; and in fact,
where there is no malice Some other
nnwarrantable passion or principle may lead
to the unlawful taking of human life. :
The highwayman, who cuts the throat and
rifles the pocket of the passing traveller,
feels no malice. And could he, with equal
ease and no great danger of detection, have
secured his booty without taking life, he
would have stayed his arm over the palpita-
ting bosom of his victim, and let the plum

The editor of the Gospel Banner, pub

nearly seventy bushels of sound ripe ears of
Indian corn from one third of an acre.--this
would not be far irem 100 bushels Of shell
led corn to the acre. The greatest amount
on an acre that we have ever seen record,
ed, was raised by Mr.. Pratt in the town OF
Eaton, N. ". some twenty years ago, for
which he received the premium Of the Mad
son Agricultural Society. He had ono
hundred and sixty bushels on an acre, as
actually measured and sworn to. He plan
ted only one kernel in a place and had ali
the stalks growing at equal distance from
the other, about a foot or Is inches apart,
of course there were nosbills. The exact

are recorded in numerous agricultural pub

of large body Of the Watch who had been
ordered in attendance by the Mayor. The
Lecture proceeded and was gone through
with without Interruption The crafty
Fanny, carefully avoiding throughout any
allusion to Politics on either side of the
question.
At the close Of the performance, nearly
an hour was consumed before the male por-
ton of the audience retired from the Hall
By this time the crowd without had in
creased to most fearful extent-not less
than 10, 900 persons were assembled in
front of the building. A large number of
females who, Ito their shame be it said)
had attended the Lecture now attempted to
effect their egress. This movement was
not effected without the most degrading in
suit and partial and personal violence
from the mob.
The bonnet of each female was upturned
as she passed, and the most disgusting ep-
ithets applied to each passer the crowd
eagerly searching for the object of their
incensed and outraged passions. length
the Heroine of the hour made her appear
ance, as she passed down the staircase and
along the passage way, no symptoms of
personal violence were exhibited, but the
feelings of the assemblage were manifested
by means and groans loud and deep. AS
the fair Fanny reached the street door, the
whole crowd made simultaneous rush to-
ward her. Being surrounded by that body
of the police she was in a measure protect
ed from violence; but yet SO great was the
pressure that she was lifted from her feet
and forced along the walk to the corner of
Anthony street. Down this street her sup
porters were forced, and the Watchmen
forming double file Gordon, for moment
stayed the violence of the mob, till the
modern Hecate was hurried into coach,
which was fortunately at hand, and she
was hurried off, homeward bound, amid
the horrid din of oaths, shouts, and i'm
precautions of the outraged multitude
thousands of whom followed her even to
the very door of her lodgings.
The scenes of violence did not end here.
Several females who were at the time
passing on the west side of Broadway,were
assaled by a band of rufians, and most
shamefully treated.-Two of their number,
viz: William Taylor and John Fl. Miller,
were secured by the watch, and safely lodg-
ed in Bridewell
Excitement and violence seemed now to
reign in every quarter. Officer Ben amin
Hayes, with a friend, were passing down
Peal street, and when near the corner of
Centre street, they encountered a mob Of
about 100 persons who had assembled
seemingly with the determination to end
the night in riot and confusion. Mr. Hays,
with accustomed daring and prompttude,
rushed into the midst of the rioters, and at
the iminent peri! of his own life, secured
two of the ring-leaders, Alexander flaming
and Davis Knapp, who with the aid of
the Watchmen were safely lodged in pris-
on, and the mob then dispersed.

The complainant, according TO his phrase

hdgeuy, and the defendant short, shrewish and
squirting
The complaint was stated with mach volatility in
broken English.

self into an illustrative attitude, making noise and
motions similar TO those which couple of cats might
be supposed 10 make at the appearance Of favonte

kitchen IN a towering passion, made vigorous at.
tack on her mob cap, and gave her 50 many hard
punches that she was compelled TO stand upon her
own defence, when, as mostly happens in such en-
counters the grey mare proved the better horse"
The maid further declared she had made away with
many of her clothes to supply the complainant and
his family with fsoa In confederation she pulled out

we must make one more extract, and with 1t con-
clude notice of the Periodicals for December. Ii
is from "The Early History of Egypt, from the Old
Testament, Herodotus, Maneho, and the Hierogy-
phlcal inscriptions, by Samuel Sharpe"
Enough has, think, been seen to make II clear,
that whatever may have been the origin of hierogy
phlcs, they have, we now find them, no analogy
with the Mexican picture writing discovered by Hum
boidt. The Mexccns seem never TO have known a
way of expressing their cords; they therefore used
drawing to express actions and ideas. The Egyp-
hans, on the other hand both could and did, when
they pleased, express their words alphabetically"
The MexlcaRs represented an idea, sentence or &C
ton by picture; but an Egyptian hieroglyphic re.
presents word or syllable, and these pictures
run into sentences words DO The difference is
sufficiently clear between an action represented by
picture, and an action expressed in words, and
those words represented by pictures.
We must find room for one more quotation, not
withstandng our promise.

Countess of Blessingtons Gems of Beauty, thuscen.
