Honorable Courts.aip.

We heard very pretty incident the other day which we cannot help re- beating. A young lady from the South, it seems, was wooed and won by a youthful physician living in California. When the engagement was made, the doctor was rich, having been very sue cessful at San Francisco, It had not existed many months, however, when, by an unfortunate investment, he lost his entire .heap.' The event came upon him, it should be added, just as he was about to claim his bride. What does he do? Why, like an honorable and chivalrons young fellow, as he is, he sits down and writes the young lady the particulars of the unhappy turn which had taken place in his fortunes, assuring her that if the fact produces any change of feelings towards him, she was released from all the promises she had made to him. And what does she, the dear good girl, do? Why she takes lump of purge gold, which her lover had sent her in his prosperity as d keep sake, and having it manufactar- ed into ring, forwards it to him, with the following Bible inscription engrav- ed in distinct characters on the outside ::
 "Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee; for whither thou goest I will go, and whither thou lodgest I will lodge; thy people shall be my deople, and thy God my God; where thou diest I will die, and there will be buried the Lord do so to me, and more also, if aught but death part me and thee"
 The lover idolized his sweetheart more than ever, when he received this precious evidence of her devotion to him both in storm and sunshine. We may add that fortune soon again smil- ed upon the young physician, and that he subsequently, returned to the South to wed the sweet girl he loved, and who loves him with such an undying aflec- ton. Young ladies who read the Bi- ble, as the heroine of this incident seems to have done, are pretty sure to make good sweethearts and better wives.-Louisville Journal.

Two pistols went off simultaneously in the darkness.- Their roar was succeeded by the sound of several blows, and of persons falling heavily on the floor. besides a few stifled groans of mortal agony i; and when they rushed in from the ad- joining room with fresh lamps, a hor- rible vision revealed itself. There lay the gamblers, Jones and Smith. in large pools of their own blood, ghastly corpses while over them, unharmed by lead or steel. stood their triumphant foe, holding aloft the dreaded Knife, dripping with gore from hilt to point.
 "How are you, Bowie? You seem to be victorious, as usual" cried sever al persons, who recognized him-and all that ever knew him well were his friends. He then detailed the circum- stances and cause of his recent combat, and his behavior in the transaction met with the cordial approval of great majority in the crowd.
 Finally as day was beginning to dawn, Bowie said: "Come, Major Ry- an, to the yictors belong the spells; let us take our hard won trophies to your own house and lay them at the feet of the fondest wife and mother in Amer ica--or the world; one who defied the horrors of last nights storm, in order to rescue you from utter destruction And then the two men gathered up their nOney and hurried away from the den of gamblers.
 Such was Col. Bowie. Men led him dcsparado. Perhaps he was SO; but every deed of his life, down'to his glorious death, was heroic, generous, disinterested. All his most bloody combats were wagcd to defend the rights, or avenge the insults of others, and never, probably, in affairs of his n u
