A Duel Between Boys.

AN extraordinary case was brought be-
fore the Lindsey (Linconshire) Magistrates
on March -. Two boys, Gerald Maurice
Brown and George Henry Seagrave, pu-
pills in boarding. school at Lincoln,
quarreled about trivial matter, and
Brown, by way of settling the difficulty,
sent Seagrave a formal challenge to fight
duel. Seagrsve duly accepted it, and
about two O'Clock, at which time the
boys are allowed to go out for a walk, the
duelsts and their seconds started for a
secluded spot. Here Browns second, a
boy named Dawson, loaded the pistol for
Brown, and youth named Walter Green
did like Office for Seagrave. Both pis-
tolls were loaded with powder and ball.
DAVIS son measured the distance decided
upon-thirteen paces-and placed a peg
in the ground for the antagonists to stand
against. Dawson then counted three, and
dropped handkerchief He counted
slowly, and the boys took direct aim at
each other, firing the instant the hand
kerchief fell Seagrave Immediately cried
out, I'm hit" and then lay down. 1t
was then found out that his pistol had
burst. The seconds then searched for
the wound and found it to be in the leg.
They bound up the wound, and, with the
aid OF Brown, assisted the boy home.
The pistols used on the occasion were
bought on their route at toy.shop six
pence each being the price given. One
of tie witnesses (all of whom were schol-
ars) described the com batants as being OF
apparently friendly terms while going to
the place of the fight, and said that no
ill-temper was displayed when on the
ground. The Magistrates remanded the
prisoner Brown and the two seconds until
Saturday, pending the doctors report of
the state Of Seagrave.-PaA Nal LondoH)

LOVE-.

Love is not made Of kisses, or Of signs,
nj clingng hands, or OF the sorceries
And subtle Witchcrafts of alluring eyes.
Lave is not made Of broken whispers; no!
Nor of the blushng cheek, whose answering glow
TELLS that the ear has heard the accents low.
Love is not made Of tears, nor yet of smiles;
OF ouiyering lips, or of enticing wies;
Love is not tempted; he himself bsgules.
This IL Loves language, but this is not Love.
7, we know aught OF Love, how shall we Hare
To say that this is Love, when we'll aware
THAT these are common thugs, and Love is rare
A separate streams may, blending, ever roll
In course united so, of soul to soul,
Love is the union into one sweet whole.
As molten metals mingle; "a chord
: wells sweet in harmony; when Love is lord,
Two hearts are one. IL letters form word.
One heart one mind, one soul, and one desire,
A kindred fancy, and sister fire
of thought and passion; these can Love inspire.
This makes a heaven Of earth; for this If Love.

The usual rate Of interest in the West is 10
per cent, and it il generally believed that this
is the correct measure of the value of money
Ii the measure of the value of commodity
is what it will bring, this is true; but if the
| true measure of value is what the article can
be made to yield, it is not true. Experienced
capitalists and business men give it as their
mature opinion that there is no kind OF prop
erty as profitable as money loaned at 10 per
cent-which is tantamount TO saying that the
average yield of industries, enterprises and
speculations is less than 10 per cent on the
amount invested, or, in other words, that
money is not really worth 10 per cent. There
are several considerations that strengthen this
conclusion.
Money loaned at 10 per cent will double it.
self in seven and half years; $4,000 will
grow into $50, 1000 in that time, and $4,000
will grow into $4,000. That the average in
vestments in business ventures and industries
will not do this is too well known to need
demonstration. While hundred men who
loan money at 10 per cent compounded, will,
with prudent management, double their for
tunes in seven and a half years. one hundred
men who borrow money at that rate viii fail,
in spite of all the prudence and foresight they
may exercise, to double theirs. So far from
II, fifty OF them, if not more, will break.
There is nothing more clearly established by
the experience Of business than the fact tina.
man who conducts his enterprises on Dor
rowed capital-whose only resources, or
chief resources are the products of bills
drawn on his shipments. will, in
four cases out Of five. come to bank
ruptcy; and a farmer who mortgages his
farm for half its value to secure money at 10
per cent, in hope that its net yield will pay
the interest and the principal, will, in four
cases out Of five. be sold out. These plain
and well-known facts appear to prove that the
annual average product of money invested in
commerce, speculation, industry and agrcul-
ture is not 10 per cent, and that, while it may
bring that price, it is really not worth it. If
all classes Of borrowers in the West could be
brought to appreciate this very important fact,
it would be worth millions to this region.
