A SINGULAR DUEL.

DR.. Young, the well-known English
surgeon, was once in party of pleas
ure with a few ladies going up by wa
ter to Vauxhall, and he amused them
with tune on the flute. Behind him
several officers were also in a boat,
rowing for the same place, and soon
came alongside bis party. The doc
tor, who was never conceited of his
playing, put up his flute on their ap-
proach.
One of the officers instantly asked
why he ceased playing, or put up his
flute.
"For the same reason" said he,
"that took it QUITO please myself"
The son of Mars very peremptorily
reioined that ifhe didn't instantly take
out his flute, and continue his music,
he would throw him into the Thames.
The doctor, in order to allay the
fears of the ladies, pocketed the in
suit, and continued to play all the way
up the river.
During the evening, however, he OBJ
served the officer by himselfin one Of
the walks, and making up to him,
said, with great coolness:
at was, sir, to avoid interrupting
the harmony of my company, or yours,
that I complied with your arrogant de-
mand but that you may be satisfied
that courage may be found under a
black coat as well as under a red one,
I expect that you will meet me to-
morrow at certain place without any
second, the quarrel being entirely en-
tire nous"
The doctor further covenanted that
the affair should be decided by swords.
Tt all these conditions the officer
assented.
The duelists met, but the moment
the officer took the ground, the doc
tor pulled out horse pistol.
"What !" said the officer, "do you
intend to assassinate me?"
"No," replied the doctor; "but you
shall instantly put up your sword and
dance a minuet, otherwise you are
dead man."
"The officer began to bluster, but
the doctor was resolute and he was
obliged to comply.
"Now," said Young, "you forced
me to play against my will, and have
made you dance against yours; we
are therefore again on level, and
whatever satisfaction you may require
I am ready to give it,"
The officer acknowledged his error,
and the affair terminated in lasting
friendship.

THE PURITAN SUNDAY.-In his last
book, "Among the Northern Hills"
William C. Prime says, in his whole
some way: 81 do not take any stock
in the common saying of this day that
the Puritan Sunday was injurious to
the character of children, because they
so gladly escaped from its bonds into
freedom that they went to the other
extreme. l believe if you could poll
the honest vote today of the sons and
daughters of old families, in which
they kept Sunday in the most rigid
Puritan style, and who are now keep
ing it in the free and easy style of our
time, they would be well-nigh unani-
nous in saying that they would prefer
to have their children taught to keep
Sunday as they used to keep it, rather
than brought up now. practically with
out any severance between the life of
the first day and the life of the other
six

SYMPATHETICGU GUARD.-The railway
world witnesses daily so many piteous
parlings, that weeping travellers sell
dom attract official notice, but Mr.. G.
A. Sala records an exceptional in
stance. 1t was at the time of our
Civil War, and he was about depart
ing for America, as correspondent of a
great London daily. He says:
My wife was bitterly opposed to my
going to America at all, and the idea
of my travelling in a country con-
valsed by war, so worked upon her
mind that she became positively i'll.
Still she insisted on coming to the
railway terminus with me, and party
of friends were on the platform to
give us parting cheer.
1t was a desperate moment; | had
parted from all that was dear to me,
and had flung myself in u very limp
and boneless manner in corner of the
carriage Of the mail. | glared feebly
at the burly, bearded guard who thrust
his head into the window. He leaned
toward me, and in a voice hoarse with
sympathy whispered:
"Excuse me, sir, but you have anoth-
er three quarters of a minute before
the train starts, and you can get out
and give the lady another hug"
