Taking into consideration certain affairs
which have recently tronspired on the
Maine Frontier, we cannot fail TO perceive
that tho following passage from OId Pep
7ys' diary paints an excellent and appro'
pirate moral. 1t was in 1886 VIXEN there
was reason to suppose that old Hickory
would have q ''Jrush" with Johnny Crapaud
and, then the satire conveyed a very salu
tary lesson.
From Pepys' daryl
HoNoR 600 YEARS AGO.
"Here Creed did tell W. a story of the
duel last nigh. in Covenant Garden, be-
tween Sir II. Bellasses and Tom Porter.

With that Sir Henry did give him a box of

no was resolved 10 fight Sir Fl. Bellasses

blow would rest on him, which he would
prevent, and desired Dryden to let him
have his boy to bring him word which way
Sir Henry goes. BY and by he is informed
tina, Sir II. Bellasses' coach is coming, so
Tom went out Of the coffcc.housc, where
he had stayed for the tidlngs, and stopped
the coach, and babe Sir Henry to come
out. WHY says Sir Henry. 'yon will not
hurt me coming out, will youH No. says
Tom Porter, so out he went. and both
drew and Sir Henry having flung away
his scabbatd. Tom Porter asked him if he
were ready? The other answering him
that he was, they fell to fight, and some
ofihelr acquaintance by. They wounded
one another, and Sir Henry so badly that
it is feared that he will die: and finding
himself severely hurt, he called to Tom
Porter. and kissed him. and babe him shift
for himself; "For" SAYS he. "Tom, thou
hast hurt me. but | will make shift to stand

and the world not take notice ofthis, for |
