Mariposa Democrat., 1857-12-10

TRYING ON THE NERvEs--ln one of the
mountain towns, four years ago, we saw most
appalling trial of courage. Two gamblers quar-
relied and agreed to fight each choosing his own
weapons. One chose bowie knife and the
other revolver. Taking their places, sepa-
rated by handkerchief only, they stood wait
ing for the word, the man with the knife fixing
his eyes on the other with his pistol ready
cooked, by his side. The spectators were pan
ic-struck, and neither moved or spoke, until
the word was given, when the pistol snapped,
and the man with the knife sprang at the other
with the ferocity of a tiger aiming to cut his
throat, and had not another person struck his
arm with stick he would have struck his
antagonists head from the body Atthat mo-
ment the crowd closed in on the combatants
and the fight ended. We have never seen and
never expect to see another such impcrsonatop
of stoical daring as was displayed by the person
whose life depended on the fascination of the
eye and the chances of the pistol missing fire.
Not nerve trcmbled, nor did an eye.lash seem
to move during the awful moment of suspense
Mariposa Democrat., 1857-12-10

W- No woman can be lady who would
wound or mortify the feelings of another. No
matter how beautiful, how refined, how cult
waited she may be, she is in reality, coarse
and the innate vugarity of her nature mani
tests itself here. Uniformly kind courteous
and polite treatment of all persons, is one
mark of true woman.
eB-A clergyman who was consoling a
young widow on the death of her husband
spoke in very serious tone, remarking that
he was one of the few. Such jewel of

piled, with an almost broken heart, " You bet
will"
rW- An exchange says: "Among the fail
ures ofthe present season most to be deplored,
is the Atlantic Telegraph and the Delaware
peach crop" That comparison is nearly on
par with the misfortunes ofthe individual who
had lost his wife and an ivory toothpick with
three blades and one rivet loose.
sB- Human affections are the leaves, the
foliage of our being, they catch every breath,
and in the burden and heat of the day, they
make music and motion in sutry world.
