A PrOud BOY.

1t was a cold night in winter. The wind
blew, and the snow was whirled furiously
about, seeking to hide itself beneath cloaks
and hoods, and in the very hair of those who
were out. A distinguished lecturer was to
speak, and Notwithstanding the storm, the
villagers very generally ventured forth to
hear him.
William Amnesty, buttoned up to his
chin in his thick overcoat, accompanied his
mother. 1t was difficult to walk through
the fallen snow against the piercing wind,
and William said to his mother:
Couldn't you walk easier if you took my
arm?"
'Perhaps I could" his mother replied.
as she put her arm through his, and drew
up us closely as possible tohim. Together
they breasted the storm, the mother, and
the boy who had once been carried in hel
arms, but who had o grown up so tai
that she could lean on his. They had no
walked very far beforehe said:
81 am very proud Tonight, mother"
Proud that you can take care of me? 2
she said to him with o heart gushing with
tenderness.
This is the first time you have leaned
upon me" said the happy boy.
There will be few hours in that child
life of more exalted pleasure than he en-
loved that evening E5chnnqe

James Brizzolara and George r. Phelan,
two well-known attorneys of this city,
fought q duel this evening, on the Arkan-

with Colts navy skies, resulting IN the Sc

former 1t the second fire.
The difficulty arose by a card published
a few days since by Phelau, severely crit

Committee, Brizzolara among the number.
He published a retort the day following.
A correspondence then ensUed. Phelan de-

used so much medicine with no good effect, / Wasm
inclined to let nature take its course and calmly submit

great faith in them, and Inna1ly consented to take thems
but no. as q gift went home, and went at it most hope

ONE OF MBs. SDDoNs' SCREAMS. "A cor
respondent of the North British Mail
prints an extract from a letter by the Rev.
DIR. Mackenzie, who was for 63 years min.
lister of Portpatrick. giving an account OF
how when Mrs. Siddons, on the 18th OF
June, 1874, babe adieu to Scotland, she ut
tured a scream in P~ortpatrick, and of the
effects of that scream: "When she, Mrs.
Siddons, came to the shore to embark, and
raised her eyes to throw a parting glance
at Scotland, " to the utter establishment OF
all present, ''she emitted all at One one
of her wild cries. The effect was powerful
beyond conception. The rocks, the shore,
and the concave in which our little village
stands conveyed the echos. There was q
general rush from the houses scattered
around the beach. Seeing men, women,
and children so alarmed. she herself appar-
emily became more terrified She repeated
the cry, and actually screamed aloud. II
Was melancholy, it was wonderful, it was
piercingly loud. In a moment, as if by
some sudden shock, through the influence
of some supernatural agency, the whole Of
the people lamented and sobbed aloud.
''Such a scene, the Rev. DR.. Mackenzie
adds, 81 never witnessed"

During the late war he was in the Con-

An sxaminati on of the body proved their

several months when he recovered.
