Never frighten any one.

The following article, from the London
Magazine, administers a solemn warning
against the practice in which the young are
sometimes tempted 10 indulge, of frightening
their companions by way Of pastime -
''The sister of a medical nan in London
had, in the presence of two young gentle
men, who were studying medicine with her
brother, ridiculed the weakness and folly by
which some people were governed. She
said, for her part, she had no superstitious
fears, and had courage for any emergency
that might happen. The young men doubt
ed the truth of her boastings, and one of them
proposed to the other, that merely by way of
joke they would put her courage to the test.
In a glass case in the doctors study was a
human skeleton. This they removed and
placed in the young lady's bed. She retired
at the usual hour, and they stealthily follow
ed her TO listen. Some time elapsed, and
no sound was heard. They were about de.
scending the stairs, thinking that their Jest
had failed, and that in reality she was as
courageous as she had boosted herself to be.
Scarcely had they come to the conclusion,
ere their ears were assaulted by a most appal-
ling shrek, after which all became SILENT
They retired, pleased with their success, and
thinking of the laugh and joke they would
have with her in the morning at breakfast.
Morning came-but she did not come
down as usual. They Uttered an hour or so
to elapse, and her brother, thinking she
might have oversight herself, knocked for ad-
mittance, calling her by name at the same
time. No answer being returned, he and the
young men forced her door, and sad to relate,
there sat the poor girl, playing with the bo-
ny fingers of the grim and appalling skele-

Duelling.
f. L.. F..

The death of George G.. Dromgoole, of
Virginia, occasioned deep regret among a
large circle of friends.
We knew him in other days. He was no
ordinary man. His mind was unusually
clear and strong, and, had no adverse cream
stances occurred, he would have been an or
nament to society, and an honor 10 the ma
ton.
But it was in private life he charmed. So
simple, so kind, so true! We never knew
a more generous man; he was wholly dis
interested, and knew how 10 sacrifice self
with a grace which won him the love Of
friends, and the respect of acquaintance.
In an evil hour he was tempted, acting up
on false notions of honor, to peril his life, and
the life OF another. His antagonist fell. From
that hour he was an altered man he knew no
peace and to drown the bitter thought, that
he was a murderer, he sullied his soul still
deeper in crime by drinking to excess! And
In early life he was taken from us, a debased
and self-blighted man!
Yet how like him was the last act of his
life. This little paragraph below, inserted
In newspapers without comment, and glanced
at by the reader, possibly without thought,
tells at once the rectitude of his intentions,
and his own estimation of the depth of his
crime.
"George c.. Dromgoole, in his will, gave
all his property to the children of the indi-
vidual who fell by his hand in a duel"
1t had fallen TO our lot, in days when we
thought duelling no sin, if we could be said
to have thought about it at all, to meet with
many, to know well some, who had killed
their men. We never knew one who lived
IN peace after the murder we know only two
who survive, and they are sots.
The first time we were called upon 10 wit
ness a duel was in Augusta, Georgia, in
1879 we were just entering manhood
The parties were from our native State
we knew them both well. They were sta.
toned at their places, and at the word fire,
tne elder OF the two, a man Of promise and
place, fell dead. We saw him, saw his
brother who gazed wildly into his pale face
Just now SO full Of life, saw friends as they
hurriedly took up his body, and bore him on
ward to his home. And we saw afterwards
the gray-haired father as he bent over tina
body, hot tears falling down his checks, fal
as one struck with palsy, for his prop, the
boy of his hopes, was taken away, and ther,
was no longer happiness for him on earth
But the survivor Business relations hal
brought us together; we were his attorney
and we had to see him at his home, and on
house. In company, we saw no change il
him he was light-hearted, almost frolicsom
in his gaiety. He never spoke of the murder
by an unuttered, but we'll understood com
pact, (and how terribly did this describe tn
deed, none ever refere ed to it. But soon W
learned that he never slept without a light i
his room. Soon after we found that he wa
fast becoming a drunkard, and scarce tire
, years had passed since the duel ere he wa

Sympathy of Birds.

A gentleman OF our acquaintance a week
or two since remarked an unusual collection
OF brown thrushes in a thicket contiguous 10
his residence. His attention having been
drawn towards them for several successive
days by their loud cries and eccentric move
ments, he was at length induced to %investi-
gate mere closely the cause of this unwonted
congress OF his feathered tenants, and ascer-
tain 1t possible, the cause of their excite
ment. Upon examining the thicket he dis
covered a female thrush suspended by one
wing to a limb. Near by was a nest con-
tanning several half grown birds. From the
attendant circumstances he Immediately con-
cluded that the maternal bird must have be-
come %entangled before the process of incuba-
zion was completed and that some kindly
hearted neighbor had supplied her place in
Matching and brooding her callow offspring.
He withdrew a few rods and the committee
of relief Immediately resumed the self impo-
sed duty of administering ''aid and comfort
in the form of worms and other insects, alter
mating between the mother and her young
she meanwhile, cheering them on in their la
Dor of love with the peculiar note which first
led to the discovery of her situation.
Having watched this exhibition of charity
for some half hour, our informant relieved the
mother bird. She Immediately flew to hel
nest, expressing her gratitude by her swee'
test notes. Her charitable friends, their 'oc,
cupation now being gone,' (as the police re.
porter says) dispersed TO their respective rla
ces of abode, singing as they went a song o
JOY.
The above statement may be relied on il
every particular. The many pleasing reiec
tlons which it suggests We leave to be re
corded by some of our friends abroad.-Neu

Thomas Chittenden, the first Governor Of
Vermont, who was a plain farmer, alike re-
markable for strong native powers OF mind,
and the republican simplicity with which he
conducted everything in his public duties
and In his domestic establishment, was once
visited BY a party of travelling fashionables
from one of our cities. When the hour OF
dinner had arrived, Mrs. Chittenden, to the
establishment of her fair guests, went out and
blew a tin horn 70. the workmen, who soon
arrived when to the still greater surprise,
and even horror, of these fair cts, the whole
company-governor, his lady, guests, and
workmen and all-were invited to sit down
together 10 the substantial meal which had
been prepared for the occasion. After dinner
the ladies' were left by themselves, and one
of the guests thought she would gently take
Mrs. Ch;ttenden TO task for this monstrous
violation Of the rules of city gentility to which
she had been, as she thought, so dncourte-
ously made a victim.
"You do not generally sit down TO the
same table with your workmen, ] suppose,
Mrs. Chittenden! Z" she commenced.
"Why." replied the Governors lady,
whose quick wit instantly comprehended the
driGt of the other, " am almost ashamed TO
say we generally do, but l intend soon to
mend in this particular. ! was telling the
Governor this very morning that it was an
absolute shame that the workmen, who did
all the hard labor, should fare no better than
we, who sit so much of the time in the house,
earning little or nothing; and ! am deter
mined hereafter to set two tables, the FIRST
and best for the w%orkmen, and the last and
poorest for the Governor and myself.-Gresn

Or what were Poesy's heaven-taught lore,
Should the pen its aid deny!
Oh,-doubt il we will, that the rose is fair,
That the planets pursue their way,
Go, question the fires of the noontide sun,
Or the countless streams that to ocean run,
But ask no more, what the Pen hath done.'

Till every nation echoes back the sound
Columbia proudly claims him as her own,
Her gallant Scott, her most chivalric son!
His grateful countrymen impatient wait,
To vote his passport through the White House
gate,
For they are taught in politicians school,
That bloody hands DER Freedoms soil should
rule,
And all men, heavenly virtues must des-
pise,
When for their country, they would aggran-

They're told, Philanthropy is but a name!
That, Patriotism has superior claim
And ever is their motto, as their song,
"Our country, whether right or whether

Skilled in their lessons, to their learning

They think, to this great man, some prize is

For faithfully performing their decree
They deem him worthy now, their chief tC

Submissive servant, pattern patriot he!
The nations canker sore wants room tC

For this, lie ravaged sister Mexico!
For this, with hellish cannon, brand and
bombs,
He robbed her of her rights, destroyed her
homes!
For this, the beardless boy, grey-headed sire,
And vigorous manhood fell before his FIRE!
All yes, if one with blood Of hundreds dyed,
Is requisite, he surely may preside!
Ladies, for him, shall garlands wreathe more

Than e'er adorned the brow of favored knight!
Rich evergreens, fresh gathered from the

All sparkling DER with crystal drops of blood!
Large, noble drops, from warrior bosoms

Among the list of martyrs, widowed wives,
Frantic, gave up their d%esolated lives!

For mercy craved, but mercy was not there
Heroic sisters, to their brothers flew,
