How to meet a Duelist.
We clip thd following yarn from an ex- j
ebanpre, as “a good one of.the sort
A few years since, as a New England ,
gentlemen, whose name we shall call
Brown, was passing a few days at a hotel j
in one of our western cities, he had the j
misfortune to nnintentionally offend toe-j
susceptible honor of a tall Indiana Colo
nel, who was one of his fellow-boaraers.
His’ appologies not being satisfactory, a
challenge was sent him, which, however,
he declined, upon tbe ground of conscien
tious scruples. The Colonel—who, by the
way, had won in two or- three encounters
quite a reputation as a duelits —at once
conceived the idea that his opponent was
a coward, and resolved to disgrace him by
flogging him in the luce of all the’ assem
bled inmates of the house. Accordingly,
the next day at dinner time, in marched
the duelist, armed with a formidable cow
hide, and advancing to Brown's chair’ pro
ceeded to dust his jacket for him in the
most approved style. Brown was aston
ished. Luckily he had been a lieutenant
of militia in his native State, and knew the
importance of incommoding hie enemy by
a diversion. So, seizing a gravy ‘tureen,
he tossed the contents iyito the face of,-the
beligerent Colonel, and before that hero
could recover from the drowning sensation
thns octasioned, be sprang upon the table
and began to shower Upon him, with a
liberal hand, the contents of the’ dishes

“You are an infer raj”——-
“Coward,” the Colonel w’Hs nbcu.i.f.
but at. that moment k plate of greess Struck
full upon bis mouth, nnd the word was
blockaded and lost.forever!
“Ha I” cried the little New .Englander,
whose blood was no w up, “fond of greens,
are yon ? Taker a potaioe, too!” and lie
hurled a tolling volley, of bard potatoes at
hi in; “excel lent eggs here; capital things
with calves’ heads; 5 ’ and crash erfme a

The blows of the cowhide, which had
hitherto deseeded upon the Yankee’s head
and -shoulders, n,ow Jregau to Tall n>ofe v
weekly and wildly, ano it became evident
that the assaliant, half stunned,-choked,,
and partially blinded, was getting the
worst of it. His courage was rapidly ooz
ing out.
“Take a turkey?” shunted • Brown, as
noble old gobbler descended fairly upon
the Colonel’s head, and bursting, filled
his hair ami eves with ib'licious-iookirfg.
stuffing; “and here's the fixings,” he con
tinued, as the squash and jelly followed
after.
By this time the Colonel was irretrieva
bly defeated, and, as- his merciless oppo
nent seized a hnge plum-pudding steam
ing hot, and holding it above his head with
both hands, seemed abmf to bury him be-,
neath it, he quailed in .terror, and throw,
ing down bis cowhide, turned about and
made a rush for the doT>r. ~ ■
* “Stop tor the pn [ding, Colonel! stop
for the pudding!” shouted Brown. “Pud
ding, Colonel! pndb'nc !” screamed all his
fellow-boarders, aniid cmrv ulsions of laugh
ter. But the Colon l was too territio ■! tj)
listen to their kind. i:- vliotions, and did
not cease running until he had locked him-’
self in his room.
But., although the escaped from
the plum-pudding, be could not i-peapa
from the ridicule which the affair oc -asion
ed. He suhacquonily chul-lfeuged fenr a
gainst- whom his: ire was particularly ox
cited, a.ud they ail consented to fight, Hut,
availing themselves of the privilege of the
challenged,party,-a:>|)uir.led • ymddlog-biigs

py duelist, finding lio one who was willing
to shoot or to be ‘shot id, was obliged to
quit the St te.
Helaxations of Groat Men.
It is interesting to note the amusem nts
.of learned and great men of present and
past times. Their predilections, their pri
vate tastes, their amusement, their domes
tic habits, their relaxations —in a word,
all that satisfies them, annoys them, amus
es them—are capable of furnishing useful
lessons to our race; for a man’s manners
and habits help us to a knowledge of him,
and are the best evidence of his reab-char
acter. „
Many great men lmve delighted m pass
ing their hours of-relaxation in the com
pany of children. This betokens a pure
and loving nature. Richter says, the man
is to be shunned who does not love the
society of children. Ilenry IV was pas
sionately fond of them, and delighted in
their gambols and little caprices. One
day, when crawling around his room on
fours, on his hands and knees, with the
Daiphin on his back, and the other chil
dren about him urging the king to gallon
in imitation of a horse, an ambassador sud
denly entered, and- surprised the ■ royal
family in the midst'of their fun. Henry,
without rising to his feet, asked, “ Have
you children, Mr. Ambassador?” “Tea,
Sire.” In that case I proceed with the
sport,” replied the king.
The Duke of Wellington was ‘extremely
tbnd of children, and was a general favor
ite with t 1 cm. He enjoyed their gambols,
took part, in them, and was constantly pre
senting them with little keepsakes, and
presents.
Leibnitz nsed to'pass months together in
his study, engaged with his laborious in
yestigations. At such times his only re
laxation consisted in collecting about him
in his study children of both sexes, whom
he watebed, and sometimes hVtuok part
in their frolics. Seated in his easy ebair,
he delighted to observe their lively move
ments, to listen to their conversation, and
to observe their several dispositions; and
~ when his soul.had sufficiently enjoyed the
innocent spectacle, he wduld dismiss tffef
children with sweetmeats, and return to
his studies with renewed energy.
Louis- Racine says of iris father, that he
took part in all the children’s sports. “I
remember a possession wo once .had,” says
he, in his memories, in which my sisters
itMKren. lie .:! ‘to >*k- the mfcut kiiif
of Rom© in his arms, andAtwYdingin front |

Would take the child upon his knee, dip
his finger in the sauce, and daub his face
with it; th© child’s goYerhes* scolded, the
Emperor laughed, and the child, almost
always pleased, appeared to delight ifv the
rough caresses of his father. Those who
on such occasions bad: a favor to solicit
from the Emperor were almost always
sure of being favorably received.
Perils of the Arctic Sea. •
- The following thrilling description of a
gale on the Arctic ice-fields, is from the’
new work of Dr. Kane. -
The imperfect diet of the party was
‘showing itself more and more in the de
cline of their muscular power. They seem
ed scarcely, swara of it themselves, and re
ferral the difficulty th*v found in drag
ging and pushing to something uncommon
about the ice or slndge rather than to their
own weakness. But, as we endeavored to
renew our labor© through the morning fog,
belted;in on all sffdea by ice-fields so dis
torted and rugged as to defy ortr ..efforts to
cross them. the truth seemed to flash upon
every one.’ We had last the feeling of
hunger, and were almost satisfied with our
parry brpth'. and the large draughts of tea
which ‘accompanied'it. I was anxious to
‘guild our small- boat, the Eric, across to the
lumme-hul ofAnpah, where I knew from
the Esquimaux wo should find plenty of
birds; but the strength of th© party was
insufficient to drag. tier.
We were sorely disheartened, and could
only wait for the fog to rise, in the bone of
sonic other platform than that which was
about us, or some lead that, might save us
the painful labor of tracking. Ibau cTrml)-.
ed the and'there was nothing in
view except Dalrynnde Rock, wit.h its red
brassy face towering in the unknown dis
tance. But I hardly got back today boat-,
before a gales hhk-Tc ns,from the‘north West,
and ivijoe,.yoking upon a tongue of ice
about a mile to the north of us, began to
swing upon it like a piyot and closq slow
ly in upon our narrow resting-place.
At firstourWu fioo was also driven be
fore the wind, but in a little while it en
countered the stationary ice at the foot of
the very rock itself. On t he‘instant the
wildest imaginable ruin arose around us.
The men spraug mechanically each one to
his station, bearing back the boats and
stores; but I gave up for the moment all
hope of our escape. It was not a nip,
such as is familiar’ to; Arctic navigators;
but the whole platform, where we stood j
and for hundreds of'yarde on every side of
us,Crumbled add crushed., and piled and
tossed itself madly under the, pressure. I
do not believe that of our little body of
men, all of them disciplined in trials, able
to tuc'isnre danger while combatting it—l I
do not believe there is one who this ‘day |
can explain how or why—-hardly when,
in sact —we found ourselves all oat. We
only know-that in the midst of a clamor
utterly indescribable,- through which the
braying of a thousand trumpets could no
more havd’ been heard than the'voice of a
man, wo were shaken and raised and whirl
ed and letdown again*in a swelling ‘waste
of broken hammocks, and, as the men
granted their’ boat-hooks in the; stillness
that followed, the. boats. eddied -a way ip
tnmnltuous skived of ice and-snow and
water. ‘ . . - -v- ‘
bfffne along in this manner us
long as; the unbroken remnant of the in
shore fide, continued, revolving—utterly
powerless, and catching a glimpse every
now and .then, o's the brazen head land.that
looked down on us through tlrC snowy sky
At |at the floe brought up against the
rocks, the looser fragments that hung
around it began to separate, atkl we were
able bv onus and boat-hooks to force our
battered little flotilla clear of them. To
our joyful surprise wesoou found ourselves
. in a stretch of the hind-water wide enough
to give ns rowing-room, and with the as
sured promise of land close ahead.
As we neared it, we saw the same for
bidding wall of belt ice as at Southerland
and Hakluyt. W. c pulled along its mar
gin, seeking in vain either an opening of
access or a nook of shelter. The gale rose,
and the ice began to drive again; but there
was nothing to be done but get a grapnel
out to the belt and bold on for the rising
tide. <- The Hope stove her bottom and lost
part of her Weather-boarding, and all the
boats were badly chafed. It was an awful
steam; and it was not without constant ex
ertion that we kept..afloat; baling out the
scud that broke over us, and warding off
the ice with boat-hooks. .
At three o’clock the tide was high
j enough for us to scale the ice-cliff*.’ One
| bv one we pulled up the boats ujwm a nm
| row shelf, the whole sixteen of us uniting
{.•teach pull. We were too much worn
down to unload; but a deep and narrow
gorge opened into the cliffs almost at the
spot where we clambered up; and,; ns we
pushed-the boats into if on an even keel,
the rocks seemed to close over .our heads,
until an abrupt turn in the course of the
ravine placed ft protecting cliff between ftsp
and fho gale. We were completely en
caved. ’ ‘ . ‘ v, < v *
• Justus we had brought in the last boat,
the Red Eric, and wei;e shoving, her up
with blocks of ice, a loug-nnused but. ffa
milliar and uutrastukable sound startled
and gladdened every ear, and a flock of
eiders fi-jcking the sky for a moment pass
ed swiftly in front of us. We knew that
wq must be at- their'breeding grounds; and
as we-tnrnel ip> wet and hungry to out’
longYoveted sleep, it was only to dream ‘of
eggs and abundance. . y.Ey A'E
We remained almost three days irr our

IreVnp-the-3Hissißsippi trip, it w;t* ruiiior
ed atriong thc passenjrers that the poet
Longfellow was on board. The Historical
Society had extefided to the poet an Jn.vi
tation to be jiresent-dt the corner store Iky
ing, and a distinctly marked trunk, ?H.
W. Longfellow,” corning on hoard, sotffed
the fact that the author of Hiawatha Was
one of their number. But tvipch is he ?
was the oft-repeated, question; and time
answered except to guess} At tho’ tk*,
each onewasTookiftg most intently ar tire
other to divine which was the poet, and
all wondered why every oue stared sol-
This man was pronounced the pout because
he wore a moustache; that one because be
shaved clean; and wo noted that the [act
as to who was Longfellow, was settled
either by the excess or I vck of hair. This
doubt, in a few hours; became uuendiru
ble, and the universal cry waste “trot
out” Longfellow. Finally, by the'aid of
the clerk, the number of his state-room Avns
ascertained to be 30, *and a guard placed
at either door of 30, so that no <me could
escape undetected. Soon the door opened,
and Longfellow passed tu tie deck, where
were assembled tlie curious. It was ar
ranged that an old Virginia major, who
had faced the red men in (heir most sav
age days, at Fort Sued ing,. should draw
from the mysterious passenger an admis
siorf that he was the pu t Longfeliow.—
The major, by his age aud fund of infor
mation regarding the ladings, was a privi
leged character on. board, and stepping up
to the occupant of 30, slapped bim on the
shoulder with Well, old chap, they
say you are Longfellow!” “That is my
nainejsir,” was the answer.. “Well,” per
severed the major, “■are yon H. W. Long
fellow?” “I am,” replied, the now ob
served of all observers. “Well,” contin
ued the major, .“ are you Longfellow, au
thor of—,of —, of—, what do you call it?”
“Hiawatha!” replied a dozen voices. “O
* yes! are yon H. W, Longff llow, author of
Hiawatha?” AH eyes were now rivetted
upon him of state-ruum 30; for the answer
to so direct a question mast determine the’
interesting query. We leave our readers
to imagine the scene when the close ques
tioned oeeupant of 30 said: “I am Hi VV.
Loqgfellow, a shoemaker at St. Paul.” A
shower of “lup-stonus” could not more ef
fectually have scattered that party; they
started to their feet as if sitting on a “bris
tle.” .The “Song of Hiawatha,” of which
of least twenty copies had, up to that mo
ment, been constantly open, vanished into
satchels, and the poetry of the trip was
suddenly changed into the matter of-fact
I article of shoe-leather. The shoemaker
| had unconsciously soled them.

Who is a Lady ?
’ “J mean to be a lady,” I heard n little
girl say, “and do just as I please, and
• have everything I want; I won’t marry’
anybody but a rich man. I’ll live in a big
house, —and have a carriage to ride its, —
jind servants to wait upon tne. I won’t
be poor'and have to work, I know.”
I wonder if the little girl knew what a
buiy was. I wonder if the children that
read the Pacific know. Do you think, as
• this little -girl did, that it is only by hav
ing plenty of money that you can hen la
dy ?
I knew a lady in my fare off home, who
lived in a beautiful, grand, old house, and
in this nice home, she was surrounded
with rich and elegant things. You could

Ht-r solid fOrnature was loaded with carv
ing. it would take a long time to tell you
about, bur house and her beautiful grounds.
But do you think that it was these things
that made her a lady ? *,
If she had been boastful of her wealth,
coarse ami vulgar in her manners; if she
had been vain, proud and disagreoable,
would she have been a lady? No, indeed!
you will say. ‘
“Why was she a lady ?” Think. •
She was a lady, only because she was
gentle in her temper, quiet and pleasant
in manner, and of a loving spirit to every
one. She was a true Christian; she loved
others as herself; it was this that made
her a lady.
Do you think she would have ceased* to
be one, if her beautiful house had burned
up, and all her money had been sunk in
the sea ? : ...
Children, pride and disdain of poverty,
never constitute a lady. A sweet and
gentle spirit does.— Hattie Hate..
Ancient Music.
In 1714, the Rev. John Tufts, of’ the
west parish of Newbury, published a small
work on music, entitled, “Avery plain
and easy introduction to the art of singing
psaim tunes, with cant ns or trebles of 28
psalin tunes, contrived in snob . manner
a9 that the learner may attain the skill of
singing them with the greatest ease and
speed imaginable. Price sixpence, or five
shillings a dozen.”
Small as this book must have baen; to be
afforded for sixpence, it was a great nov
elty, it being the first publication in
New England if not in America. As late
as 17.00, there were not more than four or
five tunes known iD many ot the congre
gations in this country, and .in some not
more than two or three; and even those
were Bung altogether by note. These tunes
were York, Hackney, St. Mary’s, Wind
sor, and Martyrs. To.publish at this time
a book on music, containing, the ernor
mous number of twenty-eight tunes, was a
daring innovation on the old, time-honored
customs of tho conntay; and the attempt
to teach singing by note, thus commenced
by Mr. Tufts, was most strenuously resis
ted for many years by that large class of
persons, everywhere to be found, who be
lieve that an old error is better than a
new truth.
The LmM Christian Lifer-* The- Chris
tian's life finds its divinity appointed and
permanent sphere in the practical follow
ing oft hrsit in the family, the Church,
and the State; and its aim aud its object
is the development of a free, conscious
mural personality, or of the spirit. The
most beautiful of all Divine services is -a
life well-pleasing to God; and in that, too,
it is not the works but tho spirit that is
the essence; how much more so in adora
tion ! Everything rests upon the Ecclesia
of the Bible of th e Ecclesta. But the root
of the Ecclesia and her Divine life is per
sonality—that alohe is an end in itself.

aad other u'piw of the body, and, by restoring their irregular ar
tion to health, correct,'-wherever they exist, such derangements
as are Ike.first <-;. sal of diee-ae.-. An extensive trial of their Vir
tues, by t J roiet-s.ni-.), Physicians, and I’atient3, hasshowu cures of
dangerous disease* almost beyond belief, were tbeJUioLiubatanti
nteil by pefhpTis of suotvexaltedpoßiticn ;uitl character as L> forbid
the sußjncioo. of untruth, fheir certificates arc published in my
American Ahnanac, whfch the Agents below named are pleased to
furnish free Jo all inquiring.
Annexed we give Dircctfpru for their use In'tlie.coinplsinta
which they hux-e been found to cure.
Fo* Costivrnkss. —Teke'otic or two PIUs, or such quantity as lo
gently move the bowels. Costiveness frequently the aggrava
ting cause-of X’iles, and the cure of one complaint is the cure of
both. No person can feel veil while under a coktivc habit of body.
Hence it should be, ns it can be, promptly relieved.
For JiTsm-siX, winch is sometimes the cause of Oostiveness, and
always uncomfortable, take mild doses—from one to sou stim
ulate tiie'stoioßch and liver’ into healthy action. They will do it,
and th c jikarthum, ftodyburn and svillairn of dyspepsia will rap
idly disappear. When it has gone, don’t forget what cured you.
For a Fodl STOXAt n, or J toy bid Inaction of the BmacU, which ■
yroduecs general depression of the spirits aud bad health, take
from four to eightPiiia at first, and smaller doses afterwards, un
til aztirity aud strength is restored to the system.
- For NKiivorssEsS, j-'icxc Headache, Nausea, Pain in IheStoin
ach,Sack, or Side, take from four to eight pills ongoing tohed.
If they do not operate sufficiently, tuirc more tire next day until
they do. These complaints will be swept out from tbe .-ystem.—
Don't wear these and their kindred disorders because your stom
ach is foul.
For ScßorcLA, Dkybipu.as, and all diseases of the Skin, take
the Pills freely and- frequently, to keep the bowels open. Thecrup
. tions will generally ecou begin to diminish end disappear. Many
dreadful ulcers and sores buve been healed up by the purging and
purifying effect of these Pills, aud some disgusting diseases which
seemed to saturate the whole system have completely yielded to
their influence, leaving the sufferer in perfect health. Patients!
your duty to society forbids that you should parade yourself
around the world covered with pimples, blotches, ulcers, sores, afld
all or any of the unclean diseaues of the skin, because your system
wants cleansing.
To Purify the Blood, they are the best medicine ever discover
ed. They should be taken u-eely and frequently, and the impuri
ties which sow the seeds of incurable diseases will be swept out of
the system like chaff before the wind. By this property they do as
much good in prexenting sickness as by the remarkable cures
which they are making every where.
Liver Complaint, Jaundice, and nil Bilious Affections arise
from some derangement—either torpidity, congestion, or obstruc
tions of the Liver. Torpidity and congestion vitiate the biie and
render it unfit for digestion. This is disastrous to the health, and
the constitution i3 frequently undermined by no other cause. la
dige; tiou is tho symptom. Obstruction of the duct which empties
the bile into the stomach causes the bile to overfiewinto tlte blood.
This produces Jaundice, with a long and dangerous train of evils.
Cootivcneas, or alternately costivenesa and diar/hcea, prevails.—
Feverish syrnptons, languor, low spirits, weariness, restlessness,
and melancholy, with sometimes inability to sleep, and sometimes
great drowslhers; sometimes there is severe pain in the side; the
skin aud the white of the eyes become agreonisli yellow; the stora
ach acid; the bowels sore to the touch; the whole system Irritable,
with a tendency to fever, which may turn to bilious fever, bilious
colic, bilious diarrhoea, dysentery, Ac. A medium dose of three or
four Pills taken at night, followed by two or three in the morning,
ijnd repeated a few days, will remove the Cause of all those trou
bles. It Is wicked to suffer such pains when you can cure them for
25 cents.
Rheumatism, Gout, and all Inflammatory Friers are rapidly
cured by the purifying effects of these Pills upon the blood am! the
stimulus which thOy afford to the vital prinoiple of Life. For these
and all kindred complaints they should be taken in mild doses, to
move the bowds gently, but freely. •
■ Asa Dinner Pill, this Is both agreeable and useful. No Pill can
be made more pleasant to take, aud certainly none has been made
more effectual to the purpose for which a dinneffpill is employed.

5. BLACKWOOD’S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory.)
The great aud important events—Religious, Political, and Mili
tary—now agitating the nations of the Old World, give to theec
Publications an interest and value they never before possessed.-
They occupy a middle ground .between the hastily written news
items, crude speculations, and flying rumors of the newspapers,
and. the ponderous Tome of the historian, wrilten long after the
living interest in tire facts he records shall have passed away.—
The progress of the War in the East occupies a large space in their
pages. Every movement is closely criticised, whether of friena or
foe, aud alt short-comings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from
the Chimra and from the Baltic, in Blackwood's Magnuine, from
two of its most popular contributors, give a more intelligible and
reliable account of the great belligerents than can elsewhere lie
found.
These Periodicals ably represent the three great political parties
of Great Britain—Whig, Tory, and Radical,—but politics forms
only one feature of their character.- As Organs of the most pro
found writers on Science, Literature, Morality, and Religion, they
stand,” as they have ever stood, unrivalled in the world of letters,
being considered indispensable tb the scholar and the professional
man, while to the intelligent reader of every class, they furnish a
more correct and satisfactory record of the current literature of
the day, throughout the world, than can be possibly obtained from
any other source.
