DUELNG.-At the request of numerou;
citizens, We publish in to days issue of the
DEMocRAT a very able sermon, delivered at
the Presbyterian Church of this city by Rev.
| E. b. Walsworth, on Sunday last, on the
| subject of dueling. As to the necessity of
dueling, under certain circumstances, we do
not care to express an opinion. Every man
| is his own best judge as to how he should
act in contingencies affecting his personal
honor, and his own conscience must deter
mine the course which he takes. While we
are willing that every man should thus de-
eide for himself, in matters of such high mo-
ment, and are not prepared wholly to con
denim, in every case, the person who may
he drawn into a duel, yet we are very firmly
of the opinion that it is by no means the
duty of public press deliberately to ddvo
cate, as some do, the code of honor" or in
deed to advocate in any manner the she'd
ding of human blood for purposes Of revenge
or private satisfaction. Men will fight often
enough without being encouraged to it. 1t
is fearful thing to take life at any time and
in any place, and "A public journal should
rather neulcate peace and harmony among
men than instigate revengeful slaughter 10y
openly sustaining and approving the system
under which it may best be effected. But, it
is peculiarly the province of the pulpit to
auolyze the morality of such practice as
dueling and Mr. Walsworth has accomplish
ed the task in the sermon to which we refer,
in a very able manner indeed

DWroULT OPEEATIoN.-Dr. Hubbard, with
the assistance of Doctors Teed Lasyignes
Mcguire, Webster, and perhaps others, per-
formed very difficult surgical operation
yesterday, on the person of lady living in
the country. She had had cancer in one
Of her breasts for number of years, the
roots Of which had struck down to the ribs
and brapched off into the armpit. She came
in town for the purpose of having it removed,
and stopped at the St Nicholas Hotel, where
the operation was performed. The diseased
portion of the breast was cut entirely out,
all the roots of the cancer being diligently
sought for and extracted. We saw the re
moved part, and it was a sorry looking spec
tacle, discolored, and portions as hard as Il
bone. The incision made deep hole in the
body, barring it to the ribs. The unfortunate
lady was at once relieved of the intense pain
which she had been suffering, ana it is quite
possible that no taint Of the cancer is left
The operation was performed under the in
fuence of chloroform. DR.. Hubbard, We
understand, intends preserving the amputa-
| ted part in alcohol.

Make Home Bright and Pleasant.
BY GRO. \. HAMILTON.

More than building showy mansion
More than dress and fine array
More than domcs or lofty stecplrs-
More tn station, power and sway.
Make your Home both neat and tasteful
Bright and pleasant always fair
Where each heart shall rest contented.
Grateful for each beauty there.
More than lofty, swelling titles
More than fashions luring glare
More than mammon's gilded honors-
More than thought can well compare,
See that Home is made attractive,
by surroundings pure and bright,
Trees arranged with taste and order,
flowcIet5 with their sweet delight
Seek to make your Home most lovely,
Let it be Il smiling spot
Where, in sweet CuItcntmcnt resting
Care and s"!ruw are forgot;
Where the flowers and trees are waving
Birds will sing their sweetest songs,
Where the puIcst thoughts will linger,
Confidence and love belongs.
Make your Home a little Ellen,
Initiate her smiling bowers,
Let a neat and simple cottage
Ssand among bright trees and flowers;
There, what fragrance and what brightness
VIII each blooming rose display
Here. a simple yinrclad arbor
BrigAtcns through each summer day.
There each heart will rest contented,
Seldom wishing far t. roam,
Or, if roaming, still will cherish
Mem rics Of that pleasant Home.
Such Il Home makes man the better,
Pure and lasting its control
Home with pure and bright surroundings
Leaves its impress on the soul.
