the latter looked too much at his newly mar

in the face which the Count gave him had not
been sufficiently atoned for by the sword thrust
which he received through his own shoulder,
has just had another fight with his adversary.
The weather being too cold to permit the gem
tlemen to remain in tho open air with their
breasts uncovered, the duel took place in q
carpenters shop, hired and expressly cleaned
out for the occasion. M. de Lauriston was
slightly wounded in the hand, and MARQUIS
Gallifet more severely in the hip. The seconds
declared that "honor was satisfied" and the
principals thereupon shook hands, and mu
tually expressed regrets at the causes which
led to the difficulty, Lauriston leading off in

ANGEL WoMEN.-Angel is one of the most
extravagant words which love applies to
woman; and the mad kind of love which uses
such strong epithets, generally Is the soonest
to cool down into chilling indifference.
Erasmus almost inhumanly says, "The angel
that We have loved with the most amorous
folly, becomes in time an old devil that we
detest" But still the idea is not to be ridi-
culed that the fondest, intensest love sees in
its dear object all the graces and charms Of
angels; and it depends upon the purity and
truth Of the ono that loves, as much as the
one that is loved, to say how long the sweet
religion of the passion shall last.
