New YORK, April 25-lt was when our
fair countrywoman, Marie Van Zsndt,
was turning the heads of all the Parisians
Among those who were bewitched by her
beauty was a young American, living
abroad, who seemed TO meet with some
favor in the singers eyes until he was cut
oat by e Frenchman who, TO put it very
mildly, had decided facial blemish- To be
Tilted was an insult not easily to be borne,
but to be Tilted for a one-eYed man was an
insult only 70 be washed out in bl-l-l-ood-da,
and the young American challenged and
was promptly accepted.
The spot chosen for the duel was secluded
forest nook near Gree, Department Seine ct
Marine, where a Jolly lot of artists, friends
Of both parties, and including many Ameri-
cans, were then sketcbing, and something
like three dozen Of these set out to accom-
pany the fighters to the field of honor. It
was a novelty TO most Of them and they
we're in very high spirits as they walked
along in the early dawn. Presently, how
ever, they heard the thunderous approach
Of a whole squadron of cavalry, and before
they had thought of getting out of the way
they were all placed under arrest
They were taken 90 the nearest village
and arraigned, and the trial adjourned TO
the next day. The judge. the principal
innkeeper and the gens-d'armes were not
going to miss such an opportunity to pluck
the criminals. They were remanded to the
custody of the officers, who took them to |
the hotel. Here they were allowed to drink |
wine or play billiards ''tor the good of the |
house" but not to leave it, lest they should |
patronize the rival establishment. After |
they had paid heavy bills for their nights |
lodgings thirds of them slept on the |
foor-and had turned over in fines to the |
judge the few francs they had left, they |
were allowed to depart. Everybody was |
we'll satisfied. The judge, the innkeeper |
and the officers had something to divide, |
the duelists had proved their courage and |
the spectators had an adventure to tell of |
and fat sketch books to show
Tell you the challenger's namel Ger |
tainly not. He is living in New York to-
day, aud l doubt whether his beautiful |
young wife has ever heard of the duel, or |
would so much as guess his connection with |

OF SPRINGFIELD, N. j.
U78O).

Here's the spot. Look around you. Above on
the height
Lay the Hessians encamp ed. BY that church
Stood the gaunt Jersey farmers. And here ran
wall
You may dig anywhere and youIl turn up ball.
Nothing more. Grasses spring, waters run, now
Pretty much as they did ninety three years ago.
Nothing more, did say Stay one moment;
OF Caldwell, the parson, who once preached the
Word
Down at Springfield? What! no? Come-that's
All the Jerseys ailame! And they gave him the
name
For he loved the Lord God and he hated King
George.
He had cause, you might say When the Hes
Marched up with Knyphausen they stopped on
their way
At the " Farms" where his wife, with child in
her arms,
Sat alone in the house. How it happened none
knew
But God-and that one of the hireling crew
Who fired the shot. Enough! there she lay,
And Caldwell, the chaplain, her husband away
Did he preach? did he pray? Think of him as
you stand
By the old church today, think of him and that
band
OF militant plowboysl See the smoke and the
OF that reckless advance-of that struggling re-
treat
Keep the ghost of that wife, foully slain, in your
view,
And what could you-what should you, what
would you do?
Why, just what he did! They were left in the
lurch
For the want of more wadding. He ran to the
church,
Broke the door, stripped the pews and dashed
out in the road
With his arms full of hymn books, and threw
down his load
AT their feet! Then above all the shouting and
shots
Rang his voice" Put Watts into 'em-boys, give
EN- Watts!"
And they did. That is all Grasses spring,
flowers blow
Pretty much as they did ninety three years ago.
You may dig anywhere ami you'll turn up a
ball
But not always a hero like this-and that's all.

NOBODY CARES.
From Cornhill.

From Cornhill.J
A wearily-wan little face,
A feeble, forlorn little smile,
Poor falt' ring feet,
That must face the heat
For many and many a mile
a star stealing out of the dusk;
A lamp that luridly flares,
In the wide city's whirl
just a nameless girl
Nobody cares!
A desolate, death stricken room,
A pillow pushed up to the wall;
A flicker that shows
A face in repose:
Sile ce, and that is all,
S We just on the woebegone cheek
The look which such raptness wears,
The Light on the brow
All, who shall say now,
IN body cares?"

Ring the Curfew Bell!

The curfew bell was myth.
1t was summons to the people to put out the
fires, stop all labor and retire to sleep. 1t was
summons also which none dare disobey, for
heavy penalties followed disobedience.
o, for curfew bell at the present day.
A bell who ringing tones should summon us
to rest from work.
To rest from fret, worry, strain, push, hustle
and excitement
To rest from the wear and tear of erve,
the exhaustion of brain and intellect.
To rest from the intense, mad rush which hur-
ries us on in the weakening, wearying nerve
tearing, brain destroy ing struggles of life.
DO goa knoo what this means?
You professional and business men, how severe
is the tension of constant and unremitting strain
of thought and mind, is plainly evidenced in
your weakened nerves, your trembling on excite
ment your sleepless, restless nights, and utterly
relaxed nervous condition after mental eXer-
ton.
You clerks and mechanics, who work all day,
and yet to whom the day is not long enough in
which to work. how weak you grow. how pale,
lifeless, and spritless you become, how dull and
tired eaded, how disguised with your work
which SO tires you in the doing.
You women, sales girls, and you who are con-
nneu III mills anu factories, now neaVy is your
drudgery, how wearing upon your life, how en-
ervating to your feelings, how eXhausting to
your strength, how blighting to your beauty!
You ire often nervous, generally ,ceah, and al
ways tired.
Alas, no curfew bell can call halt in the
worlds work, but a warning voice can direct
how best to overcome the nervous and physical
weakness which such work entails. You who
would be strong in nerve and brain, who would
gain physical and mental strength to continue
your work successfully, use as the vital restora-
tive the brain and nerve tonic, the giver of re
newed life and yigOr, that greatest of all medi-
cines, DR.. Grcene's Nervura Nothing on earth
will SO quickly and surely restore you
strength, and is conceded by all to be the best
spring remedy in existence. 1t is purely vege-
table and perfectly harmle, remedy, and will be
found at all druggists for 81 60 per bottle.
