A SILLY TRAGEDY.
The Duel Between Tom Porter and
Sir Henry B~eIlasis.

SIR Henry BeitaSiS.
Some of the royalists who were
forced to endure the English common
wealth seemed to console themselves
for the dullness of life under q Puritan
government by fighting as many duels
as they could compass, so that ignoble
squabbles and foolish plots make up
the history Of their days.
Tom Porter was Of a family which
had z%ealously served the king. Under
the new government his occupation was
gone, and he descended to a triviality
of life which finally involved him in a
most pathetic event. This was a duel
which he fought with his friend, Sir
Henry Bellasis, and which, says Pepys
in his "Diary," is worth remembering
for 1.-THE Stiffness of the quarrel, = a
kind of emblem of the general COM
plexion of the whole kingdom"
But, silly as the. quarrel undoubtedly
was, it carried in it an element Of heart
break.
The two young men involved were
intimate friends and companions, but
one day, "being merry in company
Tom Porter said he should like to see
the man in England who would dare
give him a blow. With that Sir Henry
Bellasis struck him a box on the ear.
The inevitable duel followed, wherein
each was wounded. Sir Henry proved
to be seriously hurt, SO he called Por-
ter, kissed and bade him fly.
"For," said he, "Tom, thou hast hurt
me, but I will make shift to stand upon
my legs till thou mayest withdraw, for
I would not have thee troubled fol
what thou hast DONE"
Porter profted by his friends gener-
osity and escaped to France. Sir Henry
died a few days later, and Pepys con.
cludes, ut is pretty to see how the
world do talk of them as a couple of
fools that killed one another out of
love-"
