Commissioners at Rutland, last week, they
were all present but thirteen. Mr. Rich,

Finale to a Duel,

The New Orleans Picayune of June 10th.
says =" AT late hour on Thursday night
last two Of our young ire-eatng bloods en-
tered one of the fashionable saloons in St.
Charles Street, in state which indicated con
siderable fatigue, appeared to be caused by
carrying too large brick in each of their re-
spective hats-in point of fact, as Micawber
would say, they were decidedly inebriated.
After imbibing once or twice more, they COM
menced bandying wit, which gradually grew
PERSONAL and finally some very insulting Ian
guage was used by one Of the parties, which
fired the blood of the other, previously suffi-
ciently heated by liquor, and challenge was
Immediately given and promptly accepted.
Cabs were called, and the belicose young gen.
tlemen entered different vehicles, and ordered
the drivers to proceed at once to The Oaks,
a locality which has acquired a bloody distinc-
tion from the number of duels which have been
fought there. They steadily refused to allow
any Of their friends to accompany them, or ad-
nit of their interference for the purpose of ef-
fecting a reconciliation and one of the party,
famlliarly known as Parades,' who was
gravely drunk, was requested to stand guard
over another who wished to interfere, which
he promised 10 do.
On arriving at The Oaks the cabmen
were very much astonished to find the embryo
duelists wrapped in the arms of Morpheus
With some difficulty they were awakened,
and recognizing the locality and each other,
they both looked somewhat surprised, having
entirely forgotten both the quarrel and the in
tended fight. One Of them finally broke out
with
Why, A, what are you doing here 2
A. looked confused for moment, then
answered.
] recollect now; some fellow grossly in
suited me, but can't remember who it was.
However, know that challenged him, and
I suppose he will be here soon.'
The other Immediately pronered his services
as second, and swore he would stand by his
friend through thick and thin. They both
embraced with tears of affection in their eyes,
and sat down on the damp grass to wait for
the arrival Of the antagonist.
After remaining there till near daylight,
and anathematizing the cowardly scoundrel
who had insulted one, and disappointed both,
they entered their respective cabs, and returned
to the city.
They were seen breakasting together the
next morning at restaurant, voting to dislo-
cate every bone in the body Of the man who
had played them such contemplate trick, if
they could only find him.

the distinctions between the sexes are psychol-
ogica, and are as visible in the differences of
their moral and mental developments, as of
their physical organization. Hence in man,
courage, judgment, and understanding predom-
mate; in woman, mildness, timidity, tender
tual the other more moral. Hence the char
acter of neither is perfect by itself. Each has
some quality which the other needs and their
union is indispensable TO the perfection of both.
Man, roughness and fierceness are softened by
the tenderness Of woman; his courage and
mental pride are moderated by her gentleness
and love. On the other hand she leans on
him, confdes in his Judgment, trusts in his
courage, and shelters under his protecting
9gis. So that, marriage not only makes the
twain one flesh,' but perfects the character of
both, by making such qualities as the one has
and the other needs, their mutual property
This lays the foundation for conjngal happi-
ness; and therefore, a felt necessity for these
mutual compliments, and the conviction of
both, that each may supply them 10 the other,
is the proper inducement 10 marriage. This
is the golden chain of true love which should
link them,
In partnership of dear delight
Formed upon such considerations, the marriage
relation is the source of the most exalted and
unalloyed felicity. 1t makes home, however
humble, terrestrial paradise, prolific of every
blossom of joy"

" Seven Cities Of Asia" +"

The trade Of Smyrna il very great, espec-
Minor, one of the finest fruit countries in the
world. The camels bring in the ripe figs
which are picked and packed by women and
children in drums and boxes, hastened on ship
board, and then commence the races across the
seas; prize of $3.50 being paid in London 10
the captain who arrives with the first vessel,
and much greater prize being won in the
market by the vessel that arrives first in New
York, after the fruit crop comes in. Smyrna
is celebrated for its figs, but the market was
better supplied with almost all other kinds Of
oriental fruit than figs when we were there,
this having been very poor season for them,
as we were told. The scholar is interested in
Smyrna as the reputed birthplace of Homer
this being one of those Of which it is said
'Seven cities claimed the Homer dead,
Through which the living Homer begged his bread
The ancients celebrated it under.ihe names
Of the lovely, the crown of lonia, the ornament
of Asia, and perhaps we should have admired
it more, had we not recently come from the
Bosphorus, where nature has done more TO
beautify the site of town than in any n the
world But the chief interest in Smyrna which
the Christian traveller finds is in the fact that
here, was one of the seven churches of Asia of
which mention is made by ST. John in the
Apocalypse, the others being in the same re-
gion. and accessible bJ journeys of few sue
cessive hours. Ephesus, where John resided,
is only IL hours off, and near the coast, but
the ruins of the great temple of Diana Of the
Ephesians, one Of the seven wonders Of The
