Tom Marshall's Duel.


Tom Marshall was captain Of a com
pany in Col. Humphrey Marsbalf
regiment Of cavalry in the Mexican
war. One evening, when very much
under the influence Of liquor, no went
to the quartermaster with whom he
was intimate, and behaved in so out
rageous manner that the latter was
compelled TO kick him out. Next
morning, Of course, the quartermaster
was the recipient Of cartel fros7
Captain Marshall. The challenged
officer declined to fght duel for the
several reasons that he held profta-
bic position, from which bc derived a
comfortable support for his family,
who depended upon his exertions for
a living; that be was oonstitutionally
opposed to dueling anyhow; that he
had taken an oath when sworn to his
commission not to engage in duel so
long as he was an officer in the United
States army. and be did not desire or
intend to forfeit that commission and
suffer ignominicus dismissal from the
service by gratifying Captain Mar
shalfs very evident mania for the
duello. "But," wrote the quartermas-
ter in conclusion, las Captain Mar
shall is dissatisfied with one kicking, |
will pledge myself TO give him kick
ing every time he comes about my
quarters and misbehaves himself as he
did on the occasion complained Of"
"Gcntlemen," Tom would say, in
that peculiar serio.droll way Of his, ~
would rather the rascal had shot me
dead than decline my challenge in that
manner"

How She Became Green.

Mr.. Green was good looking man,
very-he dressed well-was well post
ed up in matters of business, and bad
the reputation Of being q smart man
But l.r. Green had lived thirty years
without wife. 1t was not his fault,
for he was fond of the society of the
fairer sex; owned a fine house, which
he rented for his board, and there
were plenty of marriageable ladies in
the village.
How happened it then, that Mr..
Green remained in state of single
blescsdness? Want of courage. Nj.
Green was coward among the ladies'
True, could pick up lady's handker-
chief, hold a skein Of yarn, or give
his arm in the politest manner to es-
cort lady from church. He had seen
at least half dozen women he would
have married, or who would have
married him; but he never could mus
ter sufficient courage to ask either of
them whether she would or not.
One evening he was visiting at the
Widow Smith's-Widow Smith-not
wenty- six years had flown over her
head, and yet she had been a widow
three years, and had long put off her
widows weeds. She was pretty, had

and in the graveyard, a sighed for

her house, and woud have married
her at an hours notice. But she did
not know il. He had never whis-
pered to her of love.
He could talk about the crops, the
growth OF the village, the industry of
the young men, aud all other matters
which the widow did not care to hear
about, but the cone thing" whicl.

"Mrs. Smith, il it place you," said
the domestic, twill you look into the

Scarcely had Mrs. Smith returned,
when the bushy head of John, the
hired man, was thrust into the door,

In bold relief He told them defiantly
that he did not fear them, and that
tho hour OF retribution awaited them.
Dick had assembled the tree and lay
stretched on the fatal limb, aud look.
cd like some imp from tho regions IN

moose was thrown to Dick who caught
| It with demoniac laugh, but before
the laugh had died on his lips he came
down from his perch in a hurry, with
q bullet in his heart, for at this Instant
q ringing peal of musketry broke on
the still morning air, and fifteen of
the murderers lay bleeding around
their intended victim. Now, with q
loud shout, twenty horsemen camo
dsshing into their midst. The bal.
ancc of tho Tories tried in vain to es-
cape. II was perfectly useless. Among
the foremost in the charge was a raw
bone, spared boy, scarcely fourteen
years Of age. This brave youth came
dashing on, shouting his battle cry.
His aim was for the brutal captain,
who seeing his antagonist was moth
ing but a pale boy, stopped and Cred
a pistol at him, but it was his last
shot, for in an in instant more his
head was split in twain by our youth
ful warrior; and reader, that boy was
Andrew Jackson, afterward the hero
Of hundred fights. The Tories we're

and the rest wounded aud prisoners.
Not one of them escaped. During
the melee lady dashed into the con-
test mounted on an elegant charger
which she guided with ease and grace,
and unmindfal of the wild, blood
scene around her, she nimbly dis
mounted and in an instant she was
standing by the side Of Sergeant Pick
ems in the cart, when drawing sharp
dagger she quickly cut the cruel ropes
that bound him, and he stood free
man by the side of his beauti ul wife.
The victory was complete. Not
one Of the rescuers had received

of his men were dead and FIVE were
wounded. The traitor Dick lay dead
