Duel between pickets.

A Washington correspondent of the
Detroit Tribune tells the following
yarn:
A good story is in circulation here,
but which has not yet got into the pa
pers. AS it is too good to be lost l put
it in shape to print, for the benefit OF
whom it may concern:
Ono of the Michiganders being on
advance picket duty few days ago,
came in 81 ght ofa South Carolina reb-
ell, also on similar duty, when the fol-
lowing dialogue and duel took place:
Michigan" Halo, South Carolina,
how are you to-day?"
South Carolina-"P Pretty well, thank
YOU how are all the Yankees
Michigan" So, so. What's the
news over in Dixie 7"
South Carolina-"Nothing in partic-
ular, only we've got some rifles now
that will outshoot your Yankee guns
all hollow"
Michigan" Don't believe the yarn.
You Seceshers brag to much. Can't
fool your Pap on that trigger"
South Caroline" Suppose, then,
you and I just take few private passes
at each other to settle this question.
What say you?"
Michigan-"Agreed. Forty rods
and three shots each"
The question then arose as to the
preliminaries, ETC., there being no par
ties present to act as seconds. These
were, however, soon settled by South
Carolina giving Michigan gold dollar
for the first three shots. The parties
then took their positions, and South
Carolina blazed away his three shots at
Michigan, who stood erect and pointed
out to South Carolina the direction
each of bis shots had taken. Michigan
escaped unhurt. and now came his turn
to fire. South Carolina, to his credit
be it said, stood erect and received
Michigan's first shot iu the thigh, which
brought him down fiat upon the ground.
Halo, old fellow, none Of that, I"
said Michigan ; no 'dodging the cues
ton. Stand up like = man, will you
You owe me two more id good shots,
and you must pay them, mind that, or
no more Dragging about chivalry."
But South Carolina, having one leg
broken already by = shot from Michi-
gan's unerring Minnie musket, could
not stand on both pegs Of his chivalry,
and therefore squatted," and cheated
our honest Michigander out of "two
id good Shots" and thus ended this
funny impromptn dsel.

N0. The following resolutions were
recently adopted at meeting Of the
citizens Of Portland, Ggn.:
WHEREAS, Gen. L. u. Baker, late U.
S. Senator from Oregon, in the hour of
his country's need, and while in the
service OF his country in repelling the
nations foes, has fallen; and being de-
sirous Of giving expression to the deep
sorrow we feel in this bereavement !;
therefore be it
Resolccd, That in the death of Gen.
Baker the nation has lost an eloquent
and brave defender of her liberties, aud
our State loyal and faithful Senator.
Resolred, That the distinguished SER
vices of Gen. Baker as a Senator, and
the devotion with which he has adhered
to the nations cause on the field Of bat
tie, have shed bright lustre upon our
State, which will secure to his memory
a lasting monument in the hearts of a
grateful constituency.
Resolred, That the long career of our
deceased Senator as legislator, aud
his services as a soldier during tho
Mexican var and the present rebellion,
afford an example worthy the emula-
ton OF all patriots.
Resolred. That we offer our sincere
coincidence to his bereaved family in
the loss Of a faithful son, and and an af-
fectionate husband and father.
HARD ON DIxIE.-TLe Marysville
Democrat has the following:
"It is to be hoped that when califor-
mia knocks for admission at the door Of
the Southern confederacy, she will not
be compelled, by the Cotton State lead
ers, to stay out in the cold SO long as
they kept her out when she applied for
admission into the Federal Union. 1t
is also to be hoped that, if ever she is
admitted to the secession hell. the same
Cotton State leaders will not threaten
to make her uuwelcome presence 4
pretext for shivering the Davis
Government to pieces, as, in 1850 they
threatened to dissolve the Union If she
was admitted to the fold"

Can you find tomb in the land where
sealed lips are, that have not sang that tune
If they were gray haired old men, they had
heard or sung " Old Hundred" Sinner and
saint have joined with the endless congrega-
tiOn where it has, and without tho pcaling
organ, sounded on the sacred air. The dear
little chi dren, looking with wondering eyes
on this strange world, have lisped it. rhe
sweet young girl, whose tombstone told of six
teen summers, she whose pure and innocent
face haunted you with its mild beauty, loved
+" Old Hundred" and as she sung it, closed
her eyes and seemed communiug with the
angels who were so soon to claim her.
He whose manhood was devoted to the SER
vice of his God, aud who with faltcring steps
asccndcd to the pulpit stairs, with white hands
placed over his labO,ing breast, loved "Old
Hundred"
And though somctiu es his lips only moved,
away down in his heart, so soon to cease its
thrcbs, the holy melody was sounding. The
dear ', Mite headed father, with his trcmulous
voice, how he loved "Old Hundred" Do
you see him now, sitting in the venerable
aru-chair, his hands crossed over the top of
his cane, his silvcry locks floating off from his
hollow temples, and tear, perchance, stealing
down his furrowcd checks, as the noble strains
ring outY
Do you hear that thin, quiverng, faltcring
sound now bursting FORTH HOW listened for
almost in vain? If you do not, we do; and
from such lips, halowed by fourscore years
service in the Masters cause, cold Hun
drcd sounds indeed a sacred melody
You may I'll your churches with choirs
with Sabbath prima donnas, whose daring
notes emulate the eteeplc, and cost almost as
much, but give us the spirit stirring tones Of
cod Hundred," sung by young and old to-
gcthcr Martyrs have hallowed tit has
gone up from the dying beds of the saints
The old churches, whore generation after gen
Grafton have worshippcd, and where many of
the dear dead have been carried and laid be-
fore the altar where they gave themselves 70
God, seems to breathe of "Old Hundred -
from vestibule to tower-top--the very air is
haunted with the spirit.
Think for a moment of tho assembled com
pany who have, at different times and in diff
tercnt places, joined in the familiar tune =
Throng upon throng-,lic stern, the timid,
the gentle, the brave, the bcautiful-thcir
rapt faces all beaming with the inspiration of
their heavenly sounds. "Old Hundred :"

Never shall our ears grow weary of singing
thee And when we get to Heaven, who
knows but what the first triumphant strain
that welcomes us may be- Be Thou, o God,

POETRY
From an Exchange Paper.
Jim's Love and disappointment.


FOUNDED ON FACT G NJ
once did love lovely belle,
know loved her truly well
thought she loved me in return,
And how my heart with love did burn.
She said in language very plain,
That for my sake, sh'd change her name,
And be my true andloving wife,
That we might live happy life.
/ was not doubtful of success,
Though was doomed to great distress.
She caught much more wealthy beau,
And then, you very we'll must know,
That was treated with disdain,
And told must not come again.
My rival sported with her heart,
And thought he acted very smart;
lie many little vows did make,
And tried her little heart to break.
Whom he was gone, forever gone,
She wished she never had been born
She did not very long complain,
But asked if would come again.
She sent to mo n few short lines,
Which roused the love of former times;
She said with me to live and die,
Had ever been her whole desire.
She talked so good, and looked so kind,
l wished again to call her mine.
l. many happy hours did spend,
With her, and thought she was my friend !;
But now she caught another beau,
And turned off me, just as before;
She now became my rival 8 wife
So ceased my love and Jealous strife.
He said he would be kind and true,
But, OH Inc loved his brandy, tee;
She now became drunkard's slave
But soon he filled drunkard's grave,
And left her with shattered heart,
To act the dimless widows part.

Sunday After the Victory.

0uhudJ hlLCE tu0
The services in all our sanctuarics ycstcr-
day exhibited the fcrvid outpourngs of graft
tude from people penetrated with the mer-
cies of God.
The incidents in cold st. Phillips" we
witnessed were deeply touching. The heart
of the worshippers in that sacred fame, con-
secratcd by tho precious historic memories
which made the glory of the (" first temple ."
on this site, had been poured out in devout
Thanksgiving to the only Givcr of Victory,
when venerable old man, leaning on lis staff,
was led by the Rector to the sacred desk 1t
was the Bishop of the Diocese, wholly blind
and physically feeble, yet with the eyes of
faith, keener than the cngles, discerning the
! light of Heaven and rejoicing therein. The
congregation were taken by surprise; but
whose heart may not be stirred even to it's in
ncrmost depths, as the apostolic servant of
God, selecting one of those paternal cxhorta-
tlons of the "beloved disciple" accounted
for his presence. Not only patriotic, but n
personal interest in the great event of the
past week had brought him to the city, and
made him here abide until the battle had
beeh fought Your boys were there and mine
warc Share, end i wes right that they should
be there. Still the heart had inly bled the
strong man, as well as the tender woman, had
quivered under the influences of natural affcc-
ton, for we were not children, We knew what
we we're doing, and had counted the cost, and
had weighed in our very souls the warfare up
on which VIC were going. And how very
marvellous had been Gods doings How
unparalleled his agency. All our children
had passed through the fire unhurt " Not
unto us, not unto us, but unto Thy namo, Oh,
Lord, be the glory" !"
Wcforbear to follow tho good Bishop thro'
the affecting application which he made of
this wonderful Providence Of God but can.
not pass over the strong testimony which he
bore to his firm persuasion, strengthened by
travel through every section of our State in
the discharge of pastoral duty, that the grand
movement in which our people were now en-.
gagged, was begun b. them in the deepest con.
viction of duty to Gud, and after laying their
case before God---and God had most signally
| blessed our dependence on him. !" Vcrily, the
Lord Of Hosts is with us, the, God of Jacob
