A FEMALE RELIGIOUS DUEL.-Thc Correspon-
dence Havre has the following account of a fe-
male religious duel :-ssThe Swiss Protestants
are absorbed by a serio-comic topic. 1t is a
feminine duel which has just taken place,
apropos to the unsolved questions between the
disciples of Luther and Calvin. Two young
women, teachers of Berne, made fanatical by
their reading, and the individual interpreta-
tions which it suggested, could not agree upon
a point of doctrine, and finally agreed to re-
sort to force to settle the question. The place
of meeting was the most obscure part of u
neighboring wood, the hour fixed was two o.
clock-seconds had procured the steel wea-
pons, for the duel was to be fought with
swords. After several lively thrusts, one of
the fair combatants received q severe wound
in tho knee, and fell upon the grass fainting.
The combat ceased, but our two causists in
petticoats have already rallied a good number
of adherents: 1t is new element of discord
with the Bernese. 1t has almost eclipsed the
Neufchatel question:

CHRISTIANITY AND CHEERFULSEss should go
together. The esgood hope" that ones name
is written in the Book of Life, that he is an
heir of God, and JOINT heir with Jesus Christ,
ought to fill his soul with constant thrill of
joy, giving him no time for sadness, no time
to feel pain, no time for anything but to reflect
upon the ssglory that shall be revealed Yet,
how many there are, who profess to be expec-
tants of that glory, who seem never to be bles-
sed with the prospect who always go bowed
down with their heads as buirush, thus dis
honoring God, giving to their enemies occa-
sion to laugh, while they themselves drag out
a wretched existence! Could such unhappT
creatures but learn that it does no good to af-
fict the soul by rejecting upon painful pres
ent, or dark future that it does no good to
create an evil by fearing an imaginary one =
that it makes dark object no brighter to view
it through a dark cloud, there would be less of
suffering in our world, less complaint of Gods
providence, and society would assume that
cheerful aspect tn at it should wear.

A FAMINE.-Great distress is said TO prevail
in parts of Russell and adjoining counties in
Kentucky, owing to the scarcity and high price
of provisions. There is but very little grain
meat in that section to be purchased at any
price; and while many families are in a desti-
tute condition as regards food, many are ac-
tually in a state bordering on starvation. A
public meeting was held at jamestown recent
ly to devise some plan by which the neccssi-
ties of the sufferers could be relieved, and lib
eral donations were made, with the view of
sending to Nashville for provisions

Hon. Frank P. Blair, of st. Louis, has a
brother James G.. Blair, residing in Lewis
county, Missouri, who, like "Frank, ]" is in ia
vor of Kidding his State of slavery. The ssNa-
tienal Democracy of Clark county held a
meeting at the county seat, Waterloo, few
days ago, and James G.. Blair was called upon
to address them, which he did. He ssdeclared
his opposition to the agitation of the slavery
question, but at the same time admitted that he
looked forward with delight to the coming of
the time when slavery would be blotted out in
Missouri. Mr.. Blair said, that while he en-
dorsed the principles of non-intervention, he
felt that he had right to entertain private
opinion with regard to the subject of slavery
The emancipation sentiment seems to be rap
idly spreading in Missouri.

found large fissure, into which they poured
1000 lbs. Of powder, and then stopped up the
crivice. When the train was fixed, at least
5000 tons of rock were removed, 1000 tons be-
ing thrown from 25 to 100 rods distant. One
solid mass of rock, weighing at least so tons,
was thrown a distance of 30 rods. Fences in
the vicinity were completely destroyed, and
the tops of trees taken Off as clean as if done

THE STAR AND THE wATER-L1LY.

BY OLIVER W. HOLMES.
The Sun stepped down from his golden throne,
And lay in the silent sea,
And the Lily had folded her satin leaves
For sleepy thing was she.
What is the Lily dreaming of
Why crisp the waters blue 2
See, see. sac is lifting her varnish'd lid
Her rwhite leaves are glistening through.
The rose is cooling his burning cheek
In the lap of the breathless tide;
The Lily hath sisters fresh and fair,
That would lie by the Roses side
He would love her better than all the rest
And he would be fond and true
But the Lily unfolded her weary lids,
And look'd at the sky so blue.
Remember, remember, thou silly one,
How fast thy summer will glide,
And wilt thou wither virgin pale,
Or flourish blooming bride2
30, the Rose is old, and thorny, and cold,
And he lives on EARTH" said she;
"But the star is fair and he lives in the air,
And he shall my bridegroom be"
But what if the stormy cloud should come,
And ruffie the silver sea
Would he turn his eye from the distant sky,
To smile on thing like thee!
o. no, fair Lily, he will not send
One ray from his far off throne;
The winds shall blow and the waves shall fow,
And thou wilt be left alone.
There is not n leaf on the mountan-top
Nor n drop of evening dew,
Nor golden sand on the sparkling shore,
Nor a pearl in the waters blue,
That he has not cheerd with his tickle smiles,
And warmd with his faithless beam
And will he be true to pallid flower,
That floats on the quiet stream
Alas, for the Lily she would not heed,
But turned to the skies afar.
And barred her breast TO the trembling ray
That shot from the rising star;
The cloud came over the darkened sky,
And over the waters wide
She look d in vain through the beating rain,
And sank in the stormy tide
