A Novel Duel.

AMONG the "reminiscences told of the
Franco-Prussian war is the account of a
curious duel between two subordinate Of
ticers of the French army.
You intend to fight duel, eh?" asked
the commandant
"Yes, Colonel. Words have passed
which can only be wiped out with blood.
We don't want to pass for towards"
VERY well, you shall fight, but it must
be in this way: Take your carbines, place
yourselves on IA line facing the mansion
where the enemy is. You will march up
on their garrison with equal step. When
sufficiently near their posts you will fire
upon them. The Prussians will reply.
You continue to advance and fire. When
one falls the other may turn upon his
heels, and his retreat shall be covered by
one of my companies.
"In this way" concluded the COM
mandant, ''the blood which you both de-
mand will be spilled with profit and glory,
and he who comes back will do so with
out regret, without the remorse of having
killed or wounded, with his own hands, a
Frenchman, at "A time when France needs
all her defenders, and all her children
If you both fall who shall say that you
are towards? l may also add that L thus
give you an excellent opportunity for
putting couple of Germans out of the
way, a service that will procure for you a
good recommendation for reward and
promotion.
The matter was arranged as the com
mandant had dictated At twenty PAGES
from the walls of Malmaison, one Of the
adversaries was wounded, staggered and
fell. The other ran to him, raised him
up, and carried him away on his Shout
ders amid "A regular hailstorm of balls
both, thenceforth, entitled to the greatest
honor and respect from the whole regi-
ment.

Boys, do you ever think how much real
courtesy will do for you? Some of the
greatest men were ever cautious in this
respect. When the Duke of Wellington
was sick, the last he took was a little tea.
On his servant handing it to him in a
saucer, and asking if he would have it,
the duke replied, Eyes, if you please. "
These We're his last words. How much
kindness and courtesy are expressed by
them! He who had commanded great
armies, and was long accustomed to the
tone of authority, did not overlook the
small courtesies of life. All, how many
boys do, What rude tone of command
they often use to their little brothers and
sisters, and sometimes to their mother
They order so. That is Inbred, and
shows, to say the least, a want of thought
In all your home talk remember IF YOU
please" To all who wait upon or serve
you, believe that ''If you please" will
make you better served than all the cross
or ordering words in the whole diction-
ary. Do not forget three little words:
"lf you please"
Speak gently; it is better far
To rule by love than fear

keep it. Twill give it back to him"
An opportunity came. He was sitting
on the terrace one bright evening. L
went and took seat near him.
"How lovely this view is!' he exclaim-
ed, pointing toward the distant hills.
Eyes, and you shall wish for your
right no longer, Mr.. Sedley. Redburn is
yours | have no claim to it.
He did not speak, and l went on.
"Your sister was just, and she would
have made you the heir had she lived to
see what you are to-day"
"But it was. your mercy, and not her
Justice, Miss Violet, that saved me. Vic

TO a section of the Union exclusively fol
support. The people of the Northern
States-for to them the Radical appeal is
now made-are not likely to hearken to
the call OF sectionalism. They, like then
brethren of the South, are weary of wal
preiuGices, and of sectional animosities,
and anxious for reconciliation and peace.
We do not think we are mistaken in con-
Guiding that a majority of the people of
all sections are ready to clasp hands across
the bloody chasm made by the war. The
New York Times, discouraged as to
the South by North Carolina, appeals to
a section, and suggests that the efforts of
the Administration shall henceforth be
chiefly directed to the North. While this
is in accordance with the fitness of things,
we are not at all uneasy as to the effect of
those efforts. We are about as willing to
leave the decision to Northern as South
ern men. The day has passed for pas
sion and prejudice, and the time for re-
Cancellation and peace has come. Right
thinking men of all sections are of opin-
ion that more than enough time has al
ready been devoted to bitterness and sec
tionalism. and that now fraternity and
nationality should prevail
The result in North Carolina, the New
York Times says, has been virtually de-
feat of the Grant party. We agree with
il. We agree with it also in its cOnclu-
sion that Grant has nothing to expect
from the Southern States and the South
being thus accorded to Greeley, we look
confidently to the Northern States for a
decision in his favor. The war termin-
ated seven wears ago, and if ever we are
to have a return to constitutional and hon
est government, it is high time we were
having it-LouisoiUe Cour5er-Journa.

nine dollars and twenty cents a year
Take the next ten years at that rate, and
you can invest over a thousand dollars in

Just as you are beginning life. Now l

ulty for stringing words together and

The young should beware of the error
of supposing that there are great many
better places in the world for them than
home, They have their part to act in
making home what it should be to them
and their parents. There are many So
licitations in these days to abandon home.
which should be resisted. 1t is not every
gay and well-appearing young person,
who is better company for you, my young
friends, than your own father and mother.
While you may get and give pleasure by
going occasionally abroad, you will pro-
mote your interests most surely by being
habitually keepers AZ home. The present
tendency of society is u be far, too often,

The Lions Ride.

WHEN a lion wishes to have a giraffe
for his dinner. he is obliged to be very
careful how he goes to market. Giraffes
are not cheap articles of diet, even for a
lion, and an attempt to get meal of that
kind of meat always costs him great deal
of trouble, and sometimes costs him his
life. OF course, the lion slips up very
quietly toward the giraffe. He always
does that, no matter what his prey may
be, but in this case it is necessary to be
very careful indeed, for if he springs and
misses the giraffe, the great beast may get
a kick at him before he has time to re-
cover himself, and a kick from giraffe,
whose hind legs fly out like sledge ham
mers, will make even lion feel ''consid'
able shuck up like" But even after the
lion has safely landed himself on the gi-
ratfe's back, his dinner is not ready yet
The giraffe is large and powerful ami
NAL, and away he rushes, as fast as his
long, awkward legs can carry him, and
that is very fast indeed. Glitter, olattcr,
Spring and boundl Away he
goes, with the lion hanging on
like good fellow, and the hyenas come
yelling after, hoping to have chance to
get something at the second table, for it
is hardly possible that a lion can eat
whole giraffe. But it is not at all certain
that there VIII be a giraffe for dinner at
all, for if the frightened creature can
once get into the woods, he may be safe.
Dashing among the trees and trunks he
may knock the lion Off And then look
out, Mr.. Lion! The giraffe will turn on
you as quick as lightning and kick the
life out of you before you can get out of
the reach of his heels, and all those poor,
dear little hyenas will have to go hungry
to bed Although girafles have frequent
ly been known to get the best of lions in
they ar al
ate. If thick wood cannot soon be
reached, the strength of the giraffe will
be exhausted and the cruel beast upon his
back will fix his teeth in his throat and
drag the poor creature down and kill and
eat him.-Hea,M and Home

local fame as arraigning himself for de,
linQuency. The Justice of the Peace re,
ferred to (no matter about his name OF
where he belongs) possesses the excellent
attributes of integrity, ability, and worth,
but on one occasion he forgot his magis-

part of one. A man who was appointed
to swing the fail of justice over the heads
of poor unfortunate fellows, wandering
over into the wrong pasture himself !!
But there it was. He felt reminders of
it in the occasional throbs of headache.
But what was to be done The more he
viewed it the more he became disguised
with himself. He made up his mind. He
would attend to his case. lie would vim
dictate the outraged law.
So at the usual hour he entered his Of
fee He formally opened court, and
then he called his own name as defendant
him with an offense against the law, went
over the circumstances in detail so far as
he could remember them, read ''the
statute in such cases made and provided, !"
and then asked 1.-The prisoner what he had
to say"
In the role of prisoner he pleaded
guilty to the ofiense, said it was shame

but hoped 1.-The Court" would not be too
severe on him, as he was determined to
reform.

stern old Justice. Then the prisoner
arose.

sorry you have been brought into TINS

The 'prisoner" said he would prefer to
pay the fine, and then the Court closed.
He walked over to the Poormaster of the
town and paid the S10.-Uhca Obserrer.

What Smoking Does for Boys.

A certain doctor, struck with the large
number of bows under fifteen years of AGE
whom he observed smoking, was led IL
inquire into the effect the habit had upon
the general health. He took for his pur-
pose thirty-oight boys, aged from nine To
fifteen, and carefully examined them. In
tweuty-scven of them he discovered inju-
rious traces of the habit. In twenty-five
there were various disorders of the circu-
laiion and digestion, palpita,ion of the
heart, and more or less marked taste for
strong drink. In twelve there was fire.
queut bleeding of the nose, ten had dis
turbed sleep, and twelve had slight ulcer
alton Of the mucous membrane of the
mouth, which disappeared on Ceasing
from the use Of tobacco for some DAYS.
The doctor treated them all for weak
ness, but with little effect until the smok-
