BEAUTY'S PRICE.

AT the seaside | first saw her,
Mid the trois-temps Of the dances,
Undulating as the elder
Ger the crested billow glances
Bronze-brown hair and rosebud sweetness
Perfect throat and pure complexion,
Features chiseled to completeness,
Tones attuned TO soft infection.
And q soul looks from chamber
Violet-tinted, draped with lashes
Coyly hiding half the danger
That beneath the white lid flashes;
While the gliding of her footsteps,
And the dropping of her shoulders,
Are poetry Of motion
Soul-enthralling to beholders.

LudIcrOus Termination Of Duel BE.
tween Russian Ladies'.

A good deal has lately been heard OF
the progress Of female emancipation in
Russia, but it is somewhat Of i novelty
TO find the Russian ladies figuring in
the character of duclists, us was tine
case not long since with two bellies Of
PetigOrsk, wcll-known fashionable re-
sort. A dispute arose between the
rival beauties, springing out Of the ut
tentions paid 10 each in turn by II hand
some young cavalry officer quartcred
in the neighborhood. The quarrel ran
so high that one Of the Amazons at
length dispatched her maid to the ether
with u formal challenge, which was in
stantly accepted. The belligcrcnts
met without seconds in lonely place
outside the town, each armed with u
brace Of loaded pistols. Before, how
ever, they had even taken up their
respective positions, the trembling Of
the one lady's hand caused her pistol
TO explode prematurcly, sending bul-
let through the dress Of the other, who
shricked and fell down in swoon
The assailant, frightened out Of her
wits, flung away her weapon and rushed
to raise the supposed corpse; but her
ungratcful antagonist, recovering her
senses Us suddenly as She had lost them,
clutchcd her by the hair with one hand,
while boxing her ears with the other in
the most energetic style. The firing
having now ceased, the battle proceed
ed hand to hand. Locks Of hair, rib
bons and shreds Of clothing llew in
every direction, and but for the timely
advent Of three or four policemen the
allray might have ended like the some
what similar combat Of the Kilkenny
cats. The military Iothario's only re-
mark on hearing the story was, " It's
lucky they took to clawing each other
instead Of me.

time, Mrs. Whitcher, who was woman
Of striking attractions, turned the heads
ofsaint and sinner alike,and was the re-
cipient ofmuch attention and admira-
ton. That, however, was not her first
acquaintance with La Crosse. For
some years previous to her marriage,
she resided with her parents in North
La Crosse, and even then was greatly
admired for her bright snowy beauty.
Her father was local Methodist
preacher named IIilliger, and lived in
what was then the last house on the
north end Of Mill street. The daughter
put her discomfort with the severe
manners Of her ministerial home into
the practical form Of going abroad to
seek her fortune, with probably better
success than young women usually DO
who make u similar venture.
