II E,slly's Fate.

4 young French lieutenant, who was
serving in lancer regiment, and who
was much liked by his comrads on ac-
count OF his sunny ways and upright
character, found himself suddenly visit
ed by the systematic spite Of an uncouth
bully, his superior. This fellow, cap
tain, was never tired of vexing the lieu
tenant, and one dly, in the course Of a
discussion at table, he gave him the lie
direct, and followed it up with box on
the ears. The Lieutenant left the room,
and by and by, to the CONSERVATION of
his friends, announced that his religious
principles forbade him to fight duels.
In vain was it pointed out to him that he
would be taxed with cowardice and sent
to Coventry: he held good until the col
onel summoned him, and gave him his
choice between fighting and sending in
his papers at once Then the lieutenant
(whose bravery had been proved in bat.
tle) agreed to a duel; but, as the insulted
party, he stipulated that he and his ad.
versary should fire over handkerchief
one holding a loaded pistol, and the other
one that was not loaded.

rangment, but he had to submit; and the
two men met accordingly at daybreak
