THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST Is, 1871.
A BLACK AFFAIR.

A duel between two darkies--a regu
lar built affair, conducted according 10
the most strict and punctiIlious provision
Of the code of honor-came off a shor.
time ago. The fight took place with pis.
tolls, Of the most approved fashion, at sun.
rise, on small branch of the Metatirio
road. We do not know what the origin
of the difficulty was except that one Of
the parties, to use the phrase OF one Of
the spectators, was
"Crossed in Tub by de oder, and dat
him Dina must hab satisfacshun.
We have learned from one who was
present at the combat the particulars as
they TRANSFERRED. They were substantial
y as follows:
After having taken their stands, one Of
their seconds noticed that, owing to their
position, the sunbeams Sc, his principal a
winking and rolling his eyes. This was
sufficient ground for interfering, and ne
called out to the other second WITH

sltion. It's again de rule OBJ all de codes

my fren composed upon, and lose all de
advantage"
swell, nigga, Use no notion too Use
just as good right to hap no notion as
you is, and sists on settling the matter
Just as we is--and-."
At this juncture, friendly cloud settled
the matter at once, by stepping between
the sun and belligerants. The two first
causes took their position, and all the lit.
tie prelimnaries being settled, each took
his pistol ready cooked from his second.
Both manifested tolerable degree of
spunk, although blueish paleness spread
over their checks. The second who was
to give out the fatal order which might
send them out OF this world now took his
ground.
"Geblehem, your time am come"
Each signifed bis assent.
"ls you ready! Fiah, one two,
three"
Bang, pop, went both pistols at once
one ball raising dust in the middle of the
road, while the other took santindicu-
lar course in among the bystanders, for.
;unately without hitting any one. 1t was
now time to interpose, and one OF their
seconds set himself about it. After lit.
tie conversation the challenged darby
stepped toward, and said to his antago.

"Yes."

ed the other. "When your mortal in

BY MRS. L. H. sIGoURSEY.
Yon slender boy his bark hath launched
On life's deceitful tide;
His balmy years of childhood DER,
He goes without guide
Amid the stir and strife of men
His devious course to run,
The tempter and the snare TO bide-
God bless the widows son.
He turneth from the pleasant door,
And from the garden fair,
Where with bis little spade be wrought
Beneath a mothers care
He bears his head like marhood high,
Yet tears their course will run,
When on his stranger-bed he rests
God bless the widows son.
Ye say he goeth forth alone
To dare the eventful field
No, no! spell is round him thrown,
More firm than diamond shield
A mournfu mothers fervent prayer
So, till his life is done,
Till time, and toll, and change are Ger
