Putnam's Opinion of Duelling.

General Putnam is known to have been
decidedly opposed to duelling, on prin-
ciple. 1t once happened that he once
grossly affronted a brother officer. The
dispute arose at a wine table, and the
officer demanded instant reparation. Put.
nam being a little elevated, expressed
his willingness to accommodate the gen
tleman with a fight and it was stipulat.
ed that the duel should take place on the
following morning, and that they should
fight without seconds. At the appointed
time, the General went on the ground
armed with swords and pistols. On en-
tering the field, Putnam, who had taken
q stand at the opposite extremity, and
at a distance of about thirty rods, levell-
ed his musket and fired at him. The
gentleman now ran towards his antagon.
ist, who deliberately proceeded to reload
his gun.
What are you about to do 2" exclaim.
ed he is this the conduct of an Ameri-
can officer and a man Of honor?"
What are you about to do" exclaim.
ed the General, attending only to the
first question "a pretty question to put
to a man you intend to murder. I'm
about to kill you, and if yoq don't beat a
retreat in less time than it would take
old Heath to hang a Tory, you are a gone
dog !" at the anne time returning his
ramrod to its place, and throwing the
breech of his gun into the hollow Of his
shoulder.
This ~intimation was too unequivocal
to be misunderstood, and our valorous
duellest ,urned and fed for dear life.

Effect of Old Persons Sleeping with
Young.

A habit which is considerably prevail
ent in almost every family, of ALLOWING
children to sleep with older persons, has
ruined the nervous Yiyacity and physical
energy Of many q promising child. Those
having dear old friends, whose lives they
would like to perpetuate at the sacrifice
of their innocent offspring, should alone
encourage this evil, but every parent who
loves his child, and wishes to preserve to
him a sound nervous system, with which
to buffet successfully the cares, sorrows,
and labors of life, must see to it, that his
nervous vitality is not absorbed by some
diseased or aged relative.
Children, compared with adults, are
electrically in a positive condition. The
rapid changes which are going on in their
little bodies, abundantly generate and as
extensively work up vital nervo electric
fluids. But when, by contact for long
nights, with older and negative persons,
the vitalizing electricity Of their tender
organization is absorbed, they soon pine,
grow pale, languid and dull, while their
bed companions feel a corresponding in.
vigeration. King David, the Psalmist,
knew the effects of his practice, and
when he became old, got certain young
persons to sleep with him, that his days
might be heightened. DR.. Aufeland, the
German Psychologist, attributes the fre-
quent longevity of schoolmasters to their
daily association with young person.
Invalid mothers often prolong their
existence by daily contact with their
children. I once knew a woman who,
by weak lungs and mineral doctors, had
been PROSTATE with incurable consump.
ton. Her infant occupied the same bed
with her almost constantly day and
night. The mother fingered for months
on the verge of the graye-her demise
being hourly expected. Still she linger
ed on daily disproying the predictions of
her medical attendants. The child, mean
while, pinned without any apparent dis
ease. Its once fat little cheeks fell away
with singular rapidity, till every bone in
its face was visible. Finally, it had i'm
parted to the mother it's last spark of vi
tally, simultaneously both died. | saw
it recently stated in a newspaper, that a
man in Massachusetts had lived forty
days without eating anything, during
which period he had been nourished by
a little cold water, and by the influences
absorbed by him while daily holding the
hand of his wife."-Dr. E.P. Foote.

The Dandy.

"The dandy" says III. w. Beecher, " is
the sum total of coats, hats, vests, boots,
&c.Heis the creature Of the tailor.
His destiny is bound up in b~roadcloth
and fine linen. His worth can be esti,
mated only BY the yard, cloth measure.
We are puzzled to tell whether he is a
female gentleman or a male lady. He
combines the little weakness and foibles
Of both sexes, but knows nothing of the
good qualities of~either. He is 8 human
poodle, handled at>home in the lap Of
effeminacy, but the sport and butt OF
every sensible dog, when he ventures In
to the street. On pleasant days he ,ex-
hibets himselfo on the fashionable promin.
AIDES, to the admiration, as he supposes, Of
every fair lady who is fortunate enough
to cross his path. The seyerest labor his
hands perform is to tote a dainty cane
about in his daily walks. Fhe only hard
work to which he would stoopis to twirl
and eoaxI a reluctant moustache, and
battle his glossy locks and ringlets in
odors sweet He is i~nconsolable oyer
a soiled boot, and would be driven to dis.
traction were he compelled to appear in
tumbled linen. Original sin, with him,
consists in not being born with a full suit
OF the latest Partisan mode and the
c~learest proof of ~depfayity as well as vul-
garity, is wearing last years style.A In
line, his soul is in his clothes and when
at last he goes down to that most unfash-
lonable and sundandifed place, the hoase
Of the dead, a proper epitaph would be y

Hymn of the Marseillaise.

The Marseillaise Hymn was inspired
by genius, patriotism, youth, beauty and
champagne. Rouget de Lisle was an
officer of the garrison at Strasburg, and
a native of Mount Jura. He was an un.
known poet and composer. He had a
peasant friend, named Dietrich, whose
wife and daughters we're the.only critics
and admirers of the soldier poets song.
One night he was at supper with bis
friends family, and they had only coarse
bread and slices Of ham. Dietrich. look
ing sorrowfully at De Lisle, said, 's-Plen-
ty is not our. feast, but we have the cour-
age of a soldiers heart | have still one
bottle left in the celIar-bring it, my
daughter, and let US drink to liberty and
our country ]"
The young girl brought the bottle /; it
was soon exhausted, and De Lisle went
staggering to bed he could not sleep for
the cold. but his heart was warn and full
of patriotism. Hetook a small clauicord
and tried to compose a song sometimes
the words were composed frst-sometimes
the air. Directly he fell asleep over the
instrument, and waking at daylight wrote
down what he had conceived in the
night. Then he walked the family, and
sang his production ; at first, the women
turned pale, then they wept, then burst
forth into a cry of enthusiasm. 1t was
the song of the nation.
Two months afterwards, Deitrick went
to the scafold, listening to the self-same
music, composed under his own roof and
by the inspiration of his last bottle Of
his wine, The people sang it every
where /; it few from city to city, to eve
nv public orchestra. Marseilles adopted
the song at the opening and close Of its
clubs-hence the name, Hymn of the
Marseillaise )" then spread all over
France. They sung it in their houses, in
public assemblies, and in the stormy
street ~conyocation. De Lisle's mother
heard it and said to her son, . What is
this revolutionary hymn sung by bands of
brigands, and with which your name is
mingled Z" De Lisle heard it and shud-
dered as it sounded through the streets
of Paris, rung from the Alpine passes,
while he, a r~oyalist fed from the infuria-
ted people, frenzied by his OWL words
France was a great amphitheatre of an
archy and blood, and De Lisle's song was
the battle cry.
There is no national air that will com
pare with the Marseillaise in subHmity
and power it embraces the sofs caden-
ces full Of the PEASANTS home, and the
stormy clangor Of silver and steel when
an empire is overthrow it endures the
memory of the vine dresser's cottage, and
makes the Frenchman, in his exile, cry
" La belle France! Z forgetfulo of the torch
and sword, and guillotine, which have
made his country q spectre of blood in the
eyes OF nations. Nor a the foreigner
listen to it, sung BY a company Of exiles,
or executed by band Of musicians, with
out feeling that it is the pibrech Of battle
and war.

Sprains Cured by Manipulation.

This leans Of treating sprains, recent
ly revived by Mr.. Gerad, is frequently
had recouse to bv NJ. Nelaton, the distin.
guished surgeon Of the Clinique Hospit-
al, Paris, with complete success, both in
recent and old standing sprains. A case
presented itself, in which a man ~sprained
his ankle while leaping. Cold water
was continuously applied, but he remain
ed unable to walk for three weeks, when
he came under Nelaton's care. It hay.
ing been ascertained to be an example Of
simple sprain, one of the internes slid his
fingers under the foot, and having
creased the two thumbs. pressed these
successive.y with increasing force over
the painful parts, for about a quarter Of
an hour. The application was repeated
several times, and in the course of the
day the patient began to walk, and the
next day left the hospital. This is a
most simple cure for a very frequent ac-
cident, and can be applied by the most
inexperienced. We would advise those
of our readers who may be afflicted with
a disruption ofsny Of their ligaments to
it a trial.

rs In a place in Wisconsin, says
Harper, the name of which we cannot
pronounce if we should succeed in spell
ing it, resides a correspondent of the
Drawer who furnishes the following
"Odd and good is old DR.. Nichols
who formerly practiced medicine in Ohio.
He took up the business, having been
brought up to a trade and as the calls
and tees did not come fast enough to suit
him, he added an apothecary's shop to
his business, for the retail of drugs and
medicine. He had a great sign painted
to attract the wondering eyes Of the vii
layers, and the Doctor loved to stand in
front of the store and explain its beau
ties to the gaping beholders. One of
these was an Irishman, who gazed at it
for a while with a comical look, and then
exclaimed.
"Och! and by the powers, Doctor, if
it isn't fine but there's something a lit
tie bit wanting in it."
"And what, pray, is that ?" asked the
Doctor.
Why, you see, says Pat, you've got
a beautiful sheet Of water here, and not
a bit of a bird swimming in it,"
"Ay, yes" replied the Doctor " that's
a good thought. I'll have a couple of
swans painted there wouldn't they be
fine 2"
Faith, and / don't know but they
would" says Pat " but I'm after think
ing there's anither kind O. bird what
would be more appropriate"
"And what's that 2" asks the Doctor.
Why I cant exactly think of his
name list now, but he is n of them
kind Of birds that when he sings, he says
quack, quack, quackl"
1.-The last that was seen of Pat and the
Doctor, Pat was running for dear life,
and the Doctor after him."
