HOOD ON DUELLING.

Tom Hood describes an intended duel which WI
prevented by an amicable arrangement made upo
he ground The parties, rivals for the affections
Lucy Bell, found it necessary to appeal to arms;
But first they found a friend apiece,
This pleasant thought to give
That when they both werc dead, they'd have
Two seconds yet to live.
To measure ont the ground, not long
The seconds next forbore
And having taken one rash step,
They took dozen more.
The next prepared each pistol pan
Against the deadly strife;
BY putting in the prime Of death
Against the prime OF life
Now all is ready for tho foes;
But when they took their stands,
Fear made them tremble, so they found
They both were shaking hands.
Said Mr.. C. to Mr.. B.,
Here one of us must fall
And like St. Paul's Cathedral now,
BE doomed to have ball.
~ do confess did attach
Misconduct 10 your name;
If withdraw the charge, will then
Your ramrod do the samel
Said Mr.. b., "I DO agrec-
But think of Honors courts
II we be of without a shot,
There will be strange reports.
But look; the morning now is bright,
Though cloudy it begun,
Why can't we aim above, as Il
We had called out the sun?"
So up into the harmless air
Their bullets they did send
And may all other duels have
That upShot in the end

LET THE STOMACH HAVE ITS CRAVING.
In the diseases produced by bad food,
'scorbutic dysentery and diarrhea, the pa.
tents stomach often Graves for and di.
gests things, some of which certainly
would be laid down in no dictionary that
ever was invented for the sick, and es-
pccially not for such sick These are
fruit, pickles, jams, gingerbread, fat of
ham or of bacon, suet, cIe&p butter,
milk. These cases l have not seen by
ones, nor by tens, but by hundreds. And
the patients stomach was right, and the
book was wrong. The articles craved
for in these cases, might have been prin-
cipally arranged under the heads of fat
and vegetable acids. There is often a
marked difference between men and wo-
men, in this matter of sick feeling
Women's digestion is generally slower.

Sound DOCTRINE When Patrick
Henry was an old man, the late DR.. Rice,
of Virginia took his young son to see
him, in hopes that some word might fall
from the lips of the eloquent old man
that would leave lasting impression upon
the heart of the youth. Henry gazed in
to the face to the boy and said: Young
man, remember that every man is the
maker of his own fortunes and character. !"
In that single sentence was more truth,
more sense and moro sound philosophy
than in all theories Of Social Reformers

''THE Boy TAR, or Voyage in the Dark,
by Capt. Wayne Reid, has been published by
Ticknor & Fields. Capt. Reds power to
interest his readers, especially the younger
portion of them, is well known. Therefore
nothing he writes is likely to escape attention.
In this story, a boy runs away, hides himself
in the hold of a ship bound to Peru, is shut in
by the subsequent stowage Of the cargo, lives
there two or three months in the dark, feeding
on biscuits and rats, and finally digs his way
up to the main hatch and gets released. 1t is
theme on which Edgar A. Poe would have
been wonderful. Capt. Reid's best powers are
adapted to work of different kind. although
he does not fail here.

gives a faithful sketch of the Crusaders from
the time of Peter the Hermit
! ERNEST BRAcEBRIDGE, OR School DAYS
by w. H. G. Kingston, is another English
book, repubshed by Ticknor & Fields. It's
full of interest and entertainment for juvenile
readers, and portrays English boyhood, and
boy life at the English schools, with intelli-
gence and fidelity. Its lively and well drawn
sketches seem real, and it will be deemed an
important acquisition in every juvenile library
where it may find place.
SELF HELP, with illustrations of Character
and Conduct, is the title OF a well written Eng
lish book, in which we have much thoughtful
instruction concerning character and its intlu-
ence in society, with sketches of successful and
distinguished men. 1t is very seldom that
book of the kind is prepared with so much in

Smiles, the successful biographer of George
Stephenson. Republished in Boston by Tick"

HEAVY FeRGERIEs IN GRoToN. = The
Groton Mercury says that much excitement
has been caused in that place by the discovery
that Oliver Howe, of Lyme, N. II. formerly of
Groton, and more recently of Shirley, had
forged notes on some of their business men to
the amount of eight or ten thousand dollars.
He has not been seen since the 9th of last
month, and it is supposed that he took large
sum of money with him. 1t is reported that
Townsend Bank has lost over two thousand
dollars by his operations. The Lancaster and
one of the Fitchburg banks are among the
sufferers. The Bradford, VT Bank will lose
fourteen hundred dollars He forged a note
on Phelps, Harlow & Co. of Groton of 5000,
another of several hundred on Daniel Waters
one of S. w. Rowe and Charles Gerrish, of
Groton Centre, for $3.50 and $400-one Of $500
on &. Butler OF West Groton, and others on
Col. Whitney and Mr. Longley of Sherley. 1t
is presumed there are other notes, but some
weeks will elapse before the extent of his ras-
cality will be fully developed We have
known Mr. Howe for nearly twenty years.
He always sustained good character during
his residence in Groton. He kept a store
several years in Shirley, sold out and located
in Lyme, in the numbering business. His
connections are highly respectable. He pro-
babe sailed in the steamer for California
