FIeHuNa ON EQUAL TERMs.-I will tell
you little incident that occurred in Georgia
many years ago. Judge T., celebrated
duelist who had lost his leg, and who was
known to be dead shot, challenged Col. D.,
a gentleman Of great huhaor And attachments.
The friends tried to prevent the meeting, but
to no effect. The parties met fon the ground,
when Col. D. was asked if he was ready.
No" he replied s Z, o.
"What are yonl waiting for then 2" in

boy into the woods to- hant bee gum to put
my leg in, for don't inteud to give the Judge
any advantage oycl me. You see he has a
wooden leg!" 'l Z. +. + ~ ~ 'S2' e.
The whole party roared with laughter, and

the former will rust the nail and cause Il to

to insert q nail SO that its widest diameter

SrEAM.wHrsrLE.--Many persons who are
constantly in the way of listening tothe hor-
rid howl Of the steam.whistle are unacquaint-
ed with the mechanical means by which its
effects are produced. We extract the follow
ing description ,ofsthe. instrument from the
Railroad Record asst conveys the knowi-
edge in few and clear worlds
"The whistIesis formed of two cups, placed
one above the other, and opening towards one
another. The lower cup is nearly filled BY a
bail or gland, 50 asto leave narrow annular
opening Of 1872 ipeh in width, around the
edge Of the cup. The upper cup is hollow,
and its lower edge is.about one inch, Or IL
inches from the lower cup. BY admitting
steam through a valve to the lower cup, it
escapes through al anhular opening and i'm
piuges against the edge Of the inverted cup.
This produces the sound. The heaviest whis-
ties for locomotives are six inches in dame
ter. The hollow or upper cup is made of
sheet brass or copper"

REALIT
, BY THE INVISIBLE BARD.


When progress marked the moving age,
And maids were wiser than the sage,
And fortune smiled on noble youth,
And falsshood scorned the approach Of truth
When virtue was enthralled on high,
Aud "honor's temple' reached the sky-
When man, 0he life Of ell creation,
And firm supporter Of the nation,)
Did BY mistake go once astray,
And wander from pure wisdOm's way,
The maids Of thirty years and more,
And those in fact above three score,
Did form circle and made use
OF all malicious, vie abuse,
And pertly moved their lips in SANDER,
Against the youth whose hearts were tender,
And made an honest man appear
An object Of their scorn and sneer.
The antique baud had all arrived
A crowd Of wrinkles deep and brown
The eager ones have all connved
The "desth-bel sounds upon the town
The grey-haired maiden breaks the spell,
Aud wondrous tales Of love does tell:
When going to the mansion bold,
In which the slandalous tale Is told,
She met 'lsddie with her 'ass,'
And heard the sharp and cherished kiss"
Bhe listed and " heard their tales Of love,
How Cupid both their hearts did move"
Then words she could not understand,
Yet sounded much unlike command.
This hale old woman could not bear s
Such pure and harmless words to hear.
81 moved with her ungainIy grace
Toward the bleak, appointed place.
a.5 sasssls = ). &tse.tw. q .es sb
She thought not Of her youthful days,
When storms and Winds both tuned their lays
When she in secret met her lover,
And various themes Of love talked over;
Or that she'd ever at midnight
Been dreaming Of her "beacon.light
All scenes like these had she forgot,
For tits the brazen slanderer's lot.
