Laws ofHonor.

The following are the laws of dueling,
as laid down by foreign nobleman Of
distinction. who in days when the duelo
was considered an honorable combat, par
ticlpated as principal and second in no
less than forty duels, several between
men OF the highest rank and distinction,
and which were acknowledged as the
code of honor by Lord Harding, in his
correspondence after the celebrated duel
between the Duke of Wellington and the
Earl of Winchester, in England: ....
/. The honor Of man does not con-
slst in his fighting or not fighting duels.
The men OF honor in Earope have divided
opinion on this point. each party rcspect~
ing and paying Difference to the convic-
ton Of others.
2. A man OF honor never uses what is
termed billingsgate language.
3. A man OF honor never strikes or
deals in blows. In England or France
he is permitted to touch the party he de-
sires to insult, with his glove or rod. In
Russia, Austria, Prussia and Poland,
even this is forbidden, for fcar it might
under the influence of passion, provoke
severe blows.
4. A man OF honor avoids, emphatical-
ly, any intercourse or contact, as contain
mating, with individuals using brute
blows.
5. A man of honor never. under any
circumstances, picks quarrel with indi-
viduals, whose well known conscientious
convictions forbid them to accept chal-
lenge.
6. It is cowMrdice to challenge such
persons. Ii they use di<grAceful Ian
guage, without being prepared to bear
its responsibility. it sufficiently carries its
own disgrace.
2. A man of honor, under the penalty
OF absolute forfeiture of any claim to BE-
considered as such by his equals, n6Ver

as the perpetrator.
9. A man Of honor, if attacked, uses
the right of defence in its broadest sense.
10. A man Of honor is no moro disgrac-
ed by assault on his person by bullies or
skulking assassins, than by being attack
ed by robbers and high way men. In all
these cases. ho uses the right. common to
all, to disable or destroy his assailant.

The Sailor and the Widow, or NOthin,
Lost by Kindness.


Nearly half century ago, when a
a coach run daily between Glasgow and
Grecnock by Paris, one afternoon, when
a little past Bishopton, n lady in the
coach noticed a boy walking barefooted,
seemingly tired and struggling with tender
feet She desired the coachman TO take
him up and give him a seat, and she
would pay for it.
When they arrived at the inn in Green
ock' she cnquired Of the boy what was his
object in coming up there. 1e said he
wished to be R sailor, and hoped some Of
the captains would engage him. She
gave him half crown, wished him sue.
cess, and charged him to behave we'll.
Twenty years after this the coach was
returning to Glasgow il the afternoon, on
the same road. When near Bishop,on,
sea captain observed an old widow la.
dy on the road, walking very slowly. ia,
tigued and weary. He ordered the
coachman to put her in the coach, as
there was an empty seat, and he would
pay for her.
Immediately afterwards, when they
were changing their horses at BishopIon
the passengers were sauntcring about
except the captain and the old lady, who
remained in the coach. The lady thank
ed him for his kindly feeling towards her
as she was now unable to lay for seat
He said Ill" always had sympathy for
weary pedestrians, since he himself was
in that St<r wien boy, twenty years
ago, near this very place, when a tender
hearted lady ordered the conchmon to
take him up. and paid for his scat"
"Well do remember that incident"
said she. IL am that lady, but my lot in
life is changed. | wus then independent
Now am reduced to poverty by the do,
ings Of a prodigaI son."
How happy am I" said the captain,
"that have been successful in my enter
prise. and am returning home to live on
my fortune; and from this day shall
bind myself and heirs to supply you with
twenty five pounds per aunum till your
death ."-British Workman.
