his hand as the report of both pistols was
heard, and both of the antagonists fell to the
ground. The whole Of the spectators now
gathered around, while the surgeon examin-
ed the wounds and pronounced both to be
MORALLY wounded. The place where they
fought, was the very same spot where the
brave Decatur fell.
With every possible secrecy the wound
ed combatants were borne back to the city.
and it was now, when the dark winged an
Igel of death was lowering DER the unhappy
Henry, that he began to look back upon
happier days, and TO muse upon the rapidly
approaching hour when he should be wrap
ped in the sable habiliments of the grave
The love of Julia was still strong in his
heart, and he would have given worlds to
receive her forgiveness, before his dying
heart should cease to pulsate forever.
1t was night ere the carriages, which con-
Iveyed the wounded combatants, arrived in
the city. With the utmost secrecy they
were conveyed to the same house, where
every comfort was administered by the
friends who attended them.
The gay and graceful Julia was already
attired in her bridal dress, and her bloom
ing face was clothed in smiles. She was
sitting before large mirror, adjusting her
head-dress when servant entered and plac-
ed in her hand a written note. She no soon
er had read it than she fled from the apart
ment, no one knew whittier. As she en-
tered the room to which the wounded COM
batants had been conveyed, wild shrek
rung upon every ear, and she rushed to the
couch on which Henry lay.
ooh! how have you been deceived,' she
cried, land how rashly have you paid the
penalty of that deception. Thus have men
often doubted the affection of woman, and
cherishing that doubt, they have been be-
trayed to ruin. They listen to the tales of
the envious, while they doubt the vow OF
purest Affection
AS the eye of Julia caught the eye of the
expiring Maitland, another scream rdng on
Henry's ear, and starting, he awoke.
'Why, what in the world is the matter,
Mr. Freeland,' said his clerk, shaking him,
you have certainly been dreaming.'
As observed before, the merchant had
fallen into reverie in his chair in the
counting-room, and, while sleeping, had
been enjoying delicious dream of love, in
which he imagined what he often fancied
when awake, that Julia's heart was not sim
cere. Happy indeed was he to find it all a
dream. Julia remains as fair and lovely as
ever in the eyes of our young merchant
and equally as much beloved

SQUEAMIsHNEss.-A young lady tainted
at dinner party the other day because her
beau was SO ndiscreet as to offer some breast
Of the duck without dressing. 1t is the same
lady, we presume, who could not keep her
countenance on account of the flies in the
parlor taking liberties before her. If there
is anything in this country needs the sever
est ridicule, it is the unwarrantable squeam-
ishness of our ladies. We fancy that this
national peculiarly will, when education
shall have been more thoroughly difused,
be overcome by sound sense and refinement;
for it certainly is not refinement that causes
ladies to faint at nothing, and when nothing
is intended We abhor vulgarity as we do
the worst evils, but squeamshness is on the
other hand abominable. We have seen per-
sons pervert the holy scriptures while read
ing in the presence of the ladies; for fear of
giving offence, even at the family altar. We
could not but think they paid very poor
compliment to the refinement Of their audi
tors.-DeZ Com.

A TALE BEARER is a physical curiosity
His corporal organization, not less than his
mental structure, must be different from
Zeno's pupil, who had two ears and but one
mouth. He is an animated sieve-a walk
ing funnel, canal of communication; but
unlike that sometimes useful medium, he is
never either sluggish or stagnant-,but, like
water, which occasionally is SO, he generates
miasma and propagates disease. He is as
pestiferous as fen in the dog days, or a
tallow METERS on a Monday. If simplicity
enter him, it comes out compound; if puri-
ty, drug or puddle. He is an echo which
hears and doubles, and whispering gallery;
for if you address him in secret in the mar
ket place he will tell that you did so.

A NOVEL USE OF LADY's CORSET is
chronicled in a late number of the Liverpool
Mercury. A respectfully dressed female
was observed by one of the custom House
officers, leaving the Victoria dock, and
fancying-rash man-that she was bulkier
about the upper part of the body than her
natural form and figure would admit, he
took her to Bridewell A search was made,
when it was found that her calico stays
were not whaleboned as we believe, with
our limited experience ladies stays general
ly are, but that in place of the whalebone,
there were three long pieces of foreign
tobacco Qadies twistN weigh
ing, altogether, about three pounds.
The lady was fined 2Os and the stays for
feited and publicly exhibited in Court to
the great amusement and edifcation of the
bachelor spectators.

tin, who has bestowed great deal of atten-
ton to the subject, we'll observes, that every
motion of the human frame helps to con-
Istruct fortiication against disease, and to
render the body more impregnable against
its attacks. 1t requires, indeed, no very
strong imagination to see the horrid forms
of the disease themselves, as they are exer-
Icised and driven from the bodies which
were once their victims, and are compelled
to seek some new tenement. Those pro-
Idigious leaps over the vaulting horse, how
they kick hereditary govt out of their toes!
Those quick somersets, with their quick
and deep breathings, are ejecting bronchitis,
asthma and phthisic from the throat and
lungs. On yonder pendant rope consump-
ton is hung up like malefactor, as he is.
HLegions of blue-devils are impaled on those
parallel bars. Dyspepsia lost hold of its
victim when he mounted the flying horse,
and has never since been able to regain his
accursed throne, and live by gnawing the
vitals. .-> -@r

Tor twenty years was severely afflicted with

commenced when was seventeen years old, and
continued until the Fall Of 1896, varving IN vo-
