The next point 70 be a5-cuained, was, how
should Colonel Jackson be informed OF the re-
suit, Mr.. Thompson felt a deicacy 100 tender
70 admit Of his personal inicrleTence; and well
he might, a. the affair was in a measure, the af-
fair Of love between Col. Jackson and his daugh.
ter. TFingham was anxious u s,au forthwith
after him, tor il had been lately ascorained that
Jackson vas in augusta. Georgia; bul the family
Ihoug.t il bss, TO let the Col. take his own limo
10 r5.urn, aad things thsir natural course. TiY-
ingIam therefore went 10 Connecticut.
Matters ramuincd in this situation about six

quests, although she kept retired as possi-

her afterwards, having enough TO do with pacly-
ing h5 friends and Mr. Thompson through them
70. tho ria!cdogs part he had octed. lis pas

It's through lr5u.aiion that the saints enter
the kingdom OF Hlaycn-aud il is also through
much ir5uiagloH that the lover, very frequently,
Is 1rOJgh,to the consumalion Of his or her wish

Tie next shock which Sophia received, was
from notice 10 the papers, that Col. Jackson had
accepted q challenge 70 adJe. from an officer in
the ua' a.L lAaI u meeting would soon take
place.
IA.s intelligence threw Sophia and the family
into ,Rs depth Of distress; they knew that Jack
soa was conscienuous.y opposed TO duelng; but
lh-y knew that he also possessed an undaun'cd
and lofty spirit, which could not brook an insult
lie had ne.L Ca.onel's commission in the Brit
ish army when quite young; but had resigned in
disgust, On account OF the principles which be
hal lmblD.d in carly childhood. IN favor Of Amer.
icaa liberty, under whose banners he was born.
The papers wgr, searched with great aviditv
for about twenty days when news arrived that
The parties had met, and that the difference was
terminated in q manner highly honorable 10 the
character Of Col. Jackson.
BG, poor Sophia was destined to face another
'whirlWiHd more terrible than the first. Abgu, q

is founded principally on fact, (excepting thI
