ALL READY FOR A DUEL.
BY SYLVANUs COBB, JR.

Our regiment was stationed at Nor.
gan's Ford. Our colonel had been shot
by an Indian guerilla, and our leuten-
ant colonel had gone home sick, so the
command devolved upon our major,
whose name was Farewell He was
middle aged, dashing fellow, gwen to
social enjoyment, on good terms with
himself, and as general thing kept on
pretty good terms with those about him,
He was naturally free and easy, fine
soldier, and strict disclnarion. lie
was a kind hearted, generous man,
though troubled with temper that
sometimes led him into error.
Major Farewell had been in command
but few weeks, when he concluded to
send for his wife to come and stop with
him through the summer. He had COM
Portable and commodious quarters, and
there was little danger that the Indians
would make another attack. Twas away
on a foraging expedition when Mrs,
Farwell arrived, but | returned on the
following day, and in season to attend
the party which the Major gave on the
occasion. The staff and line officers, not
kept on duty, were all present, aud joy
and merrimcnt ruled the hour. Mrs
Farwell was younger than her husband
a handsome, portly woman-bearing her
self with peculiar grace and dignity,
with one any effort at show or afectatlou.
She assumed no needless reserve, but
treated her guests with kindness and
consideration, seeming only anxious
that all should feel at home, and enjoy
themselves.
In that ear off region the laws Of total
abstinence were not strictly adhered to,
aud on the present occasion, we not on
ly emptied many bottles of wine, but
sundry bottles OF "0ld Bourbon" we're
included in the bill of fare. Towards
midnight the lldies Withdrew, but the
officers were not quite ready TO retire,
The major was in the highest Of spirits,
and song and story, with flowing COB
lets, gave us occupation. BY and by |
proposed toast, Mrs Major Farewell"
and it was drank with three cheers.
Why in the world the major should have
taken offence | could not comprehend.
But he did so, aud ntimated that ! had
better not make too face with his wife's
name.
"Egad," | replied, without stopping
to weigh my words, "if you must have
your handsome lady as sacred as that,
you ought not to have brought her out
here"

his feet, "if you breathe that lady's
name again, I'll kick you from my quar-,

l had started from my seat, when
Lieutenant Walker, who sat by my side
pulled me back.
"Zounds :" lie uttered, in hurried
whisper, "don't say another word. The
I'D majors mad, aud he's a bit jealous,
too. Cant you see it p
As walker spoke it flashed upon me
that Mrs. Farweil had been very atten.

four or five times, and had promenaded
with me upon the piazza. But | could

YOUR MISSION.

If you cannot on the ocean,
Sail among tn, swiltest feet,
Rocking on the highest billows,
Laughing at the storms you meet
You can stand among the sailors,
Anchored yet within the bay,
You can lend a hand to help them,
As they launch their boat away.
If you are too weak to journey
Up the mountain steep aud high,
You can stand within the valley,
While the multitudes GO by
You can chant in happy measure,
As they slowly move along
Though they may forget the singer,
They will not forget the song.
If you have not gold and silver,
Ever ready to command,
If you cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever open hand,
You can visit the afflicted,
Der the crring you can weep,
You can be true deciple,
Sitting at the Sayiour's feet.
IF you canuot in the couAict
Prove yourself a soldier true,
#, where fire and smoke are thickest
There no work for you to do;
When the battle field is silent
You can 20 with careful tread,
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead.
Do not, then, stand idly waiting,
For some greater work to do
Fortune is lazy goddess,
She will never come to you,
Go aud toll in any vineyard,
Do not fear to do and dare
If you want field of labor,
You can find it anywhere.
