religiously a - .e pae. cd by, a.,d thanked the saints
sos their goodnc.-H
But when, after H'*me tim r , it became evident
sveu to the old lr iy, that the saints were some
what. arbitiary r Ihor favors, and iu fact only re
warded piety and zeal, and industry, in the person
of her son—leaving the p‘*>r widow, as often aa she
took charge of the busmen, without any customers
whatsoever —she addre-ed him one day in a in ore
terioua manner thau u.-ual. “Ales, alas, lam an
old and feeble woman, and have not the way of ta
king *o eUßtotAiet s as you Live; ’twere better for
me to give up. I have labored and kept house, and
saved and i.craped long mough. Work now for
yourself, take a wile, and I will live peaceably with
you tiil I die.”
The son, who was never known to disobey an in
junction of his mother, found this very reasonable.
He knew that it was usual when a man reached a
certain age for linn to take a wife ; and why onould
he trouble his head about what wan the object of
such a proceeding.
“But where shall 1 get a wife, mother?” said the
•on.
“Leave that to me,” replied the widow, I’ll man
age everything.”
“How If I were to take Maria, my godfather’s
daughter?” inquired Le Bond , ‘she is a weH be
haved girl. I recollect when w* were children we
used to play at man and wife. My godfather spoke
of it to me last week.’
“Hespoke to me,too,” said the mother; but that
can never be—and for a hundred and fifty reasons,
] will only mention toy u half a dozen of them. —
First, aa long hu we uul not get on in our trade,
your godfather looked at unovei li :< shoulder—now,
when he sees we are pi oypering, he tries to be civil,
I can’t bear the old fox. Second, Maria is good,
and tidy, and active bn: she /</ nothing. A mer
chant, my dear so . mu. t not ask what a wife as, but
what she hat. No-hing i. ultip ied by nothing pro
duces nothing. Third, there are objections to it
which I arn acqoaiate ! with, and even it there were
none, 1 would never give sny consent to it while I
live. Fourth- ’
“ Enough,enough,mother,” interrupted theyoung
man. “It was nothing but a suggestion ot my own.

In a few da>s the car ;ful mo?her had fixed upon
another, the Hiugiit . Paulet, the silversmith
The gill was rich, hut hi :mly ugly. A hump on
her back, and one eye elo • up by the smallpox,
were the smallest ot th* uulovclin* of the select
ed bride. It w r H from these causes she bad not ob
tained a husband, though her wealth was enough to
have tempted a dozen. Al.;,ter Paulet, the siiver
•tnitli, agreed with the old lady in a moment, and
the young dan- -.1, wno had never ventured to hope
that any of the four quarters of the globe would
have produced her a wooer, blushed so celestially
when she heard of Le Blond’s proposal, that her
countenance actually be aine blue But the good
Le Blond, when he heard of his acquisition, looked
exactly of the same color. When he had recovered
a little from his first surprise, be held out all his teu
fingers, ami said : “See mother. I will count you
not one reason, but two hu dred and fifty, on these
fingers, why young Mademoiselle Paulet. can never
become my wild. Fir j t. when i ©niy think of it, it

thirdly, giddiness in the head, fourthly, Asiatic

“ Hold *” exclaimed Madame Lc Blond, who did
not wish to hear the remaining two hundred grounds
of dissent :—“ You speak hke an apothecary, not a
merchant. Let us calculate-, if we turn over the
lady’s portion ten times iu the year, how much our
gains will be ”
But the mother and son never brought their reck
onings to tbo • ame sum. T’his produced a little bit
terness between the:u, the Indy stood oil the old
ness and wiariom ot her head—the young man on
the youth and warmth his heart, and when head
and heart are at variance, there can be no great
comfort till tkoir<ds( re panel en are recouc iied. Home
became uncomfortable to vu the best and most
unsophisticated of sous. It it had not been for the
Btrong filial afieci 1 01 he retained, he would have
1 ell the poor old lady to herseit. As it was, he
went more fir®quejxtiy n! i< ad than he had ever
doue in hi life, in order to hear no more of his
pestilence-creating bride. Once, indeed, he was
nearly off altogether, aim it was on the following
occasion
THF APPARITION.
One morning he had gone to m hp, as was his ons
tom, and he observed kneeling, not far from him, a
female figure iu a rich, yet simple traveling dr s*,
with her face hidden by a gold spangled veil. The
worshipper, although the golden balls of her rosary
fed quickly through her fingers, did not seem to be
very dee s* in I*r devotions She appeard to K-gard
Le Blond with great attention, and then si whisper

they are not so hi s iw mv pretty bargain.” But
this, to be sure . tlionj. t at t‘u ghr ot every wo

Sambre, he to k mam yto v !iuib the Castle-hill. —
On the si < ps of thelwir asicnt he was rucountered
by the gentlemen ho had seen at church. The two
carriages were also drawn up in waiting. When ho

iS Blond rushed up the steps to her assistance, and
raised her courteously. She thanked him. and took
the arm he had ottered ?i 1 her support. But as her
foot was sbgt tly hurt, she frequently paused on
their downward way to rest. >he asked many
questions of polite lx* Blond, and when she beat o

to their respectful inqun • and on Loaiing it they
nearly fell into tbs, comr.u .. and her with the utmoet

to the spot. In theouuno of time, however, he re

and tell his mother the whole occurrence. ’ At the
appointed hour L >.. to the hotel and inquired

Lud bL happiest hours, and f> devote hmnelfto
the study of Italian, m order to be able, like other :
silk merchants, to write to his oerreepoudents in |
their owu iahtruage. The splendid house of which
be had hired the ground floor, belonged to the Pres
;aent of the Sovereign Court, who troubled himself j
very little about his tenant. Everything went on |
delightfully. The ladiee who had formerly shown
so much favor to the wares of the handsome lace
man did not desert him in his new poeition. They
were constantly dropping in to rummage his stock,
and make their purchases, and have a few minutes
conversation. Le, blond, indeed, appeared to grow
handsomer every day. but the ladies

i was a wearisome empioytr.ecf and hesd-
j wa g not long before he encountered another obeta

1 (;e so uis etcHua©. . . . .
i <>at warm summer day, he went into the gar
den with the Italian grammer m hts hand, and was
shout to enter the jasmine bower, he perceived that
it was already occupied. A yourig lady sat there.
Lastly intent tpoti a book. She not
more than eighteen—graceful as a Uly—in short, a
revden such as I j* Blond had never seen in hia lile.
F ,r it was not an every-day-eight—that throat of
those checks of roses, those glowing lips, and
1 and the stately head, those raven ttesee* waving
in a<• oud that might have formed a portion of the
Egyptian darkneM. Le Blond stood at the entrace
~f the bower abashed and thunder-struck. No leas
aatoniahed wa the beautiful stranger at the ap
proach of Le Blond who appeared to her like a be
ing from another world. She seemed, indeeed, nev
er to have gazed on a Le Blond before. In the
agitation ot this moment sue bowed to him, and he
learly curt*ied to her, and both begged pardon a
thousand tiin**, without being offended with each
other in tne least degree. At last a convereation
wa* commenced; the beauty cairied it on with
wonderful fluency, but without much benefit to Le
i Blond; for, iu the first place, that individual’s soul
j was situated more in his eyes than hia ears ; and in
: the second place, her French was nearly unintelli
! Kible, and terribly mixed with Italian idioms But
j they made out they were neighbors. The garden
that joined the foot of Le Blond a belonged to the
! great house, whose front locked toward the street
of S* Fiacre ; the said street of St Fiacre being pa
I y. 1 tii that which Le Blond resided. He had
come to leant Italian ; she with a French grammar,
for she had only been three months arrived from
I Italy md was anxious to acquire the French as
j quickly as possible.
While hy were engaged in this mutual explana
tion. which was, indeed, a somewhat tedious pro
-000* —for signs aud attitudes bad to assist in the
translation of Italian info French and French into
Italian—a female voice was hearu calling the name
of Jacqueline! Hereupon Jacqueline rapidly took
leave, lifted the grammar from the .table and disap
peered Le Blonl stood nearly rooted to the ground, j
and was scarcely e ware of what had passed. He
seated himself on tb-. bench she had left—he dream
ed—he raved as if and was profuse in
complimentary spe has to the vanished beauty,
aif she wre still before him. And now, for the
fir-<t time, he cursed with all his heart his ignorance
of Italian, and swore by all the saint* to devote
himself to the study of the grammar, that he might
tell his neighbor—he was not exactly certain what.
But when Le seized the grammar, he perceived that
the book was not the same—it was a French one.—
In the agitation of the moment Jacqueline had ta
ken his Italian rudiments, and left her own. He
scarcely ventured to touch the holy leaves that had
been consecrated by her fingere, and lamenting his
fate in being only Julius Le Blond, and not the en
viable Italian grammer that Jacqueline had carried
aw ay with her. He did not recover himself the
whole day ; but when there were no customers in
hi- shop, he sat in the littie back parlor and gazed
at the jasmine bower and the great house beyond it
that it. belonged to. It wa3 only towards the even
ing that the thought struck him that it would be
proper to go and restore the volume, aud by way
ot insuring its t-nfe delivery, to give it to his lovely
neighbor with his own hand. He set off on the in
stant, and had very soon hurried through the cross
alley and reached the stieet of Bt. Fiacre. The
great house was soon discovered. On the ground
floor was a merchant’s shop, aud there, iu great let
ters on a black, he read, ‘ Mesdemoiflellea Buonvi
c ni, mantua makers f om Milan.”
Thus far all was well, but all of a sudden a sort
of failing of nerve got possession of him; he went
past the palace, for a palace it really was. the whole
length of the street; and only recovered his courage
when he had got to some distance. “Why shouldn’t
I go in?” he thought; “I am not going to do any
harm.” He turned round, but with every step that
he made towards the palace his nervousne-s increas
ed. “What will she *-ay when she sees me with the
grammar ? Won’t she consider m?a pushing, im
pertinent fool l Couldn’t I wait till she asked ine
for the bcok herself? And which of the sisters Bu
onvicini is Jacqueline ? Who cm tell whether she
Lat home ? And besides, wouldn’t it be giving up
the grammar the only chance I have of ever seeing
her again?” In the midst of these ruminations he
was long past the palace on the other side ; but with
every step hia anxiety to call upon Jacqueline grew
stronger. Again and again he returned, and always
lest heart at the door. At last when he had wearied
himself with his wanderings up the street and down
the street, he fairly put his grammai into his pocket,
and betook himself—grumbling at his want of im
pudence—to his little bac k parlor again.
The good and modest Le Blond soon discovered
some gleams of comfort in his distrees. The French
grammar he laid safely under lock and key, as a
pledge of its bringing him to another interview
with the owner. We cannot maintain that ho en
joyed hia supper on that night, but there are occa
si'.i.j when people can live very well upon air ; and
indeed, build stately castles on the same unsubstan
tial foundation. For instance, Le Blond was de
lighted beyond measure that the beautiful Jacque
line was of no higher rank than a milliner —it fitted
so admirably to his own trade, in laces and silks.
liis plans was innumerable, aud one of the most
fixed of them was, to make the captivating Ma
demoiselle Buonviciui, with all convenient expedi
tion, into Madame Le Blond. The only question
was, |ow such an angle wasto b : won ? These
plans, and even this last one, were admirably well
laid wiiii but one error in them, and that was, that
Jacqueline resided indeed in the palace, but alas !
alas ! not on the ground floor. She was no con
nection of the sisters Bounvieini, but was the only
daughter of the French General De Fano, who had
received sonic wounds at the siege of Namur, and
had remained to have the u cured. The good lace
man—who had entirely accommodated himself to
hia situation, and in consequence of his mother’s
advice, ent rely forgotten the former rank of bis
father—would never have ventured on such an un
dertaking as to lay siege to the heart of the daugh
ter of oue of the Grand Monarque’s most famous
General*. Poor Julius was no politician, aud had
never even heard of General De Fano’s name.
Jacqueline, on the other hand—for since we have
told th - secrets of one of the parties, we may ai
well be equally communicative about the other—
Jacqueline had left the jasmin bower, iu scarcely
an inferior state of bewilderment—she could not
drive Le Blond out of her memory, aud in girls of
eighteen the of the memory is the heart. Now
t'ie image of a Le Blond in the heart is not unattend
ed with dang* 1 to girls even a year or two older than
Jacqueline. She was anxious to know who he was
but as to making any inquiry that might lead to the
supposition that she took any interest iu the matter,
Mich a thing never entered her head. She tried,
therefore, to attain the information iu a roundabout
sort of a way, and discovered that the great house
to which the jasmin bowor belonged, was inhabited
by my lord the President. How then was it possi
ble to doubt tha* Le Blond was one of his sous.
•She had soon perceived the exchange that had
happened of the'.r grammere; by a paper mark at
the place, she saw that his lesson had stopt short at
the conjugation of Io aino ; a verb which she was
quite able to translate into the French J’aime. But
Bomehow, on this occasion, the translation was ac
companied with some odd sorts of feelings, for
which she could not exactly account; aud more than
once she went into the apartment of her dressiug
u aid, whose wiudow commanded a view of the jac
mine bower. Every morning as soon as the sun
rose, b;th the young people kept constantly look
ing towards the arbor; one watched for the other’s
appearat.ee, onlv hat they might restore the gram
mars, but as neither f them liked to be the first to
go, three days wt re wasted in useless expectation.
.Jacqueline was very 1 eetless, aud Le Bond nearly
died of anxiety.
At last, on the fourth morning, jus. as the sun
was rising, the bssLful Le Blond determined to visit
the jasmine bower; and as be went to the window,
he saw a figure iu white wandering iu the milliner's
garden. With the speed of lightning he rushed
forth, the gr&min r under hi* arm, aud pretended
to be busy examining his flowers; keeping his eye,
however, attentively fixed on the movements of the
living flower on the other side of the hedge. She
approached the harbor—he walked towards it at the
same time. Heavens! how both began to blush aa
they mutually showed the borrowed volumes ! — at
last, however, the explanation was made, and the
exchange effected. When once the conversation
was commenced, it seemed to flow more naturally
than either of them could have expected. Jacque
line complained of the difficulty of French; Le
Blond ot the tediousness of Italian. The com
plaints of each raised iu the other the tenderest
emotions of pity; aud nothing iu the world could
be more natural than the offer to be of assistance to
each other in their studies—they resolved to dedF
cate the first hour after sunrise to this system of mu
tual instruction—long before Pestalozzi was born—
and they fixed on the hour of prime, probably be
cause iu both grammars was the proverb,
“ The morning hour
Brings golden dower. - ’
It was wonderful what a charming schoolroom
they made of the jasmine arbor. The commence
ment was made that very hour. They sat down
beside each other on the bench and took the g:am
nt&r in hand with the most studious intention in the
world. Perhaps, indeed, they might have made
more progress in the language if they had not sat
Quite so close. For, when, by any accident, Le
nioLd was touched by JacquelineV aim 1 or, if, in
the morinng breeze oqc ct her curls was waved
against Lis check, a sort of shudder passed through
him ;.e forgot the art of speaking either in his own
language or any other; and appeared, poor fellow,
to so laboring under a difficulty of breathing ; or.
when Jacqueline's hand, in pointing out the place,
came in contact with that of her pupil, all of a sud
den she lost the power of distinguishing a single
syllable, though on other occasions having no cause
to complain of blindness. But to be sure not much
can be expected in a first lesson, so they looked for
ward to making a greater progress in the second.
And indeed the studious propensities of the young
people were most exempiaiy. Iu spite 0 die earii
nees of the hour, neither of them ever one
instant behind the appointed time yet it migqi
in consequence of this over zeal kintioD ’
occasional y fiagged. and Jacqueline tiers*? F occa
sionally laid her forefinger on the lower line instead
of the upper. Oa those occasions it was of course

recurrence of the strange sensation he had expe
rienced when accidentally touched by Jacqueline's
hand. Le Blond thoognt it better to take hold of it
at ouce and keep it close prisoner in his own. A
tremor ran through the captive thus laid hold of
which luckily escaped the captor s observation, as
at that moment he was laboring under a very simi
lar fit of agitation himself After a long silence,

pealed what he had said before.

aiinona, we love, bnt suddenly she corrected her
self, and said the lesson was ill done.
“But it is no sin to be slow m learning grammar,
whispered Le Blond, and raised the hand to his ups.
To such a truism as that it was impossible to rep;y
—and yet she appeared uneasy; perhaps on account
’ of the slow progress they made in parsing; but af
i ter a somewhat embarrassing pause, they simulta
neously returned to their leeson, and whispered at
i the same moment, as if in concord —
‘•Nousaimona,’’ we love.
j This was the whole extent of their progress that
day, yet both fancied they had learned a great deal
! or the hearts of those young and innocent beings had
learned a language that was neither French nor Ital
ian but more intelligible than either more musical
than the Tuscan, more graceful than the French:—
Two hours passed in this lesson, and when at last
they found they had to part, neither of them could
be persuaded that it had lasted twenty micutes
From day to day their studiousness increased ;
and it may be remarked, as a proof of the correct
ness of certain new theories in the art of teaching,
that they soon acquired a power of carrying on a
conversation without having committed to memory
a single rule of grimmar. Le Blond all this time
was deeply in love with the mantua maker from Mi
lan—Jacqueline with the son of the President of the
Sovereign Court. But at last when they discover
ed their mistake, it made no difference, except that
it infused into the cup where Love had brimmed
before, a bitter drop of fear and disappointment.—
But this bitter drop seemed by some chemical traus
mutation, of which they, poor souls, were ignorant,
to increase the strength of the contents of the afore
said cup a hundred fold.
“ Tis true,” sighed Le Blond, “ that by birth I
am a gentleman —I only wish I were ricn!
And I,” sighed Jacqueline, “ ah ! I only wish I
were poor!’’ . ... .
And now, as if to increase their misery, winter
came on apace, aud stripped the jeeamine bower of
its leaves, and shed showers of enow upon the
ground that left every footprint shamefully distinct..
Their meetings were now more rare, and only took
t lace at church or in some appointedstreet; and then
only for a moment. But even these meetings were
something; and spring, they thought, would bring
its leaves agaiu to the bower. Iu the meantime,
deep were the mutual protestations of love and li
delity, but no less deep were the apprehensions of
them both that these protestations were vain. Oue
day Le Blond sat, immersed in melancholy forebo
dings, in one of the principal coffee rooms of the
city; but the wine, though the best of the vintage
oi Champagne, had no effect upon hie spirits. It
was eight davs since he had seen Jacqueline; aud
ail this time she was going out to tails aud parties
among the chief people of the town aye, at that
moment was gracing an assembly in the house of
the President, but two flights of stairs above his
bumble warehouse! He had rushed out to avoid
the revelry and fly from his own miserable thoughts.
Near him sat a gentleman in a gray riding coat, a
man of middle age, calm and silent. He looked at
i Le Blond, and pledged him a glass of Pontac.
“Have I not the honor of speaking to Monsieur
Le Blond !’’ be inquired.
Le Blond looked at him closely, and recognized
him by a deep scar upon his left check, to be a gentle
man he had seen frequently gazing upon him for the
last two days ; once he had come into his shop aud
bought something ; then he had beset him on the
Street; then at church; then kept constantly prome
nading in front of his door -, ana now had addressed
him here.
There was something repulsive in the stranger s
appearance; a long, haggard countenance, and
eyes that glowed like flame. Le Blond ans wet ed
his inquiry.
“You don’t seem in good spirits 7 continued the
stranger.
“Perhaps so, sir,’’ replied Le Blond; “one isu’t
merry at all hours.’’
“Drink !’’ Baid the stringer.
“That has no effect,” answered the other, des
pondingly.
“Indeed! I am distressed to hear it. Is there
anything I can do to serve you ?”
“I can’t say.”
“Try me,” rejoined the stranger; “you inter
est me deeply, young man—more deeply than you
think. You don’t know me ; but let us become ac
quainted. lam sure I can help you, if you will only
give me your confidence.”
“You are very good,” sighed Le Blond, and shook
his head.
“Has any oue injured you 7”
“By no means.”
“Or a lover's quarrel!”
“No, no, no quarrel!”
“Or do you wan t money ? I can help you to as
much as you want.”
“Le Blond looked astonished into the long yellow
face of the old man.
“Say the word,” he went on; “bow much? Two
or three thousand livres 7 Y'ou are in luck’s way,
my friend, and may be the richest man in Namur.”
“How 7”
“That I will tell you whenever you wish lo be so.”
“Who wouldn’t wish to be rich 7” inquired Le
Blond, with a faint smile.
“Good,” said the stranger ; “but we must leave
this placs, where so many eyes may be upon us. I
am a stranger in Namur. Will you accompany me
to my hotel, and do me the honor to sup with me to
night 7”
Le Blond looked distrustfully at the stranger ;
but when he recollected that Jacqueline, was per
haps, at that moment danciDg above his small back
parlor, he resolved to accept the invitation for the
sake of a little amusement.
The stranger occupied two or three
apartments at the hotel; a couple of servants flew
at his bidding to prepare a supper. Le Blond was
wonder-struck at all he saw ; lor he perceived that
the stranger in the gray riding-coat must be a man
of great wealth, who might have his choice of finer
company than that of an humble laceman. _
“With whom have I the honor to be 7” inquired
the young man, modestly.
“Call me only Abubeker,” answered the other,
“by birth X am a Chaldean.”
“My stars!—a Chaldean How came you into
our parts, bo far from Asia 7”
“My course has happened to bring me here.—
Fartly ennui, and partly a thirst of knowledge to
regulate my motions. I have thoughts of going to
Iceland as soon as the spring is a little advanced.”
“To Iceland 7—and is it long since you left Asia?’
The Chaldean appeared to consider for a minute,
and then said, TttiSuk in about a foright from
this time, it will be A hundred aud twenty-two years
since I left home.”
“My God!” exclaimed Le Blond, “ahundred and
twenty-two years. And how many years old are
yon, sir 7”
“Three hundred and twelve years full.”
Three hund.ed” -cried Le Blond.
‘ —Aud twelve years last month,” calmly repeat
ed the stranger. “1 perceive you are a little sur
prised—you thiuk, perhaps, I am quizzing you ;
but when you know me a little better, you will
think far otherwise, but think just what you like;
and never trust to any man’s words, but to his ac
tions.”
Le Blond thought it somewhat extraordinary,!but
resolved to let the oldgentlemnn goon with his
hoax, being determined notto be taken in.
The servants announced supper, and when Abu
beker and Le Blond had taken their seats at the
splendid table, which was covered with the richest
wines aud dishes, and were left again alone—
“ Now, my good fellow,” Said the Chaldean, gaily
“throw aside all troublesome thoughts for a little ;
fill up a good bumper, and tell me all your distresses
in the same open familiar way I have spoken to
you. ”
Le Blond took the advice as regarded the bump
er, aud towards the end of the feast was lively and
amused. The Chaldean exerted himself for his en
tertainment but, in spite of all his efforts, he could
not penetrate the “secret sorrow” cf his guest. Le
Bloud was very incredulous, and couldn’t bring
himself to swallow all the wonderful narratives
given by Abubeker of hie adventures by sea and
land.
“Yes, my good friend, ’ he said at last, offended
at the old fellow's exaggerations, “you tell your
mai ve!s very well, but do you fancy that any sensi
ble man would believe a word of then 7”
“It makes no difference to me,” replied the other,
“whether you believe me or not; the loss is yours;
but you may easily convince yourself that my stu
dies have been pretty deep. Did you ever hear of
necromancy 7”
“To be sure, but never believed in it. It is a
science that depends entirely on cheating and slight
of hand.”
“Likely enough, among you unskilful Europeans.
It is very different, I assure you, in Chaldea.”
“Will you let me see a turn of your art 7” inquir
ed Le Blond, with a distainful smile.
“I make no turns, a you call it, of my art, but
this I can tell you, young man, the lines of your
face inform me you will be i ich and fortunate.—
Tell me your exact position—you will find my as
sistance no affair of legerdemain. For example,
are you in any mercantile difficulty? Do you need
money?”
Le Blond laughed, aud said to try him, “Perhaps
I am ; what then?”
“Ah! why did you keep this from me so lorg?
Y’ou should have told me so at first. You are de
creed to lift a treasure that lies hidden under the
ruins of Valerien des Anges.”
“A treasure?”
“Av, and a great one.”
“Why don't you lift it for yourself, Master Abu
beker?”
“Because it is not my fate, aud, besides, I don’t
require it.”
“When should I lift it?”
“As soon as you can make the journey.”
“Does it need no previous preparation?”
“Not the least.”
Le Blond was somewhat startled by the dry run
ner of the Chaldean, but stiff believed he was amus
ing himself with trying to cram him.
“Very well, Master Abubeker,” he said, “I w ill
put you to the test. To-morrow morning I have a
bill of exchange to answer for five thousand livres,
if this matter is so certain, as you say, you will per
haps advance me that sum. and I will faithfully re
pay it when we dig up the treasure.”

The Novel Shooting Match.—lt has been an
nounced that Capt. Travis has accepted a wager to
shoot, at three shots, three oranges, placed upon
the head and hands of a boy. It is certainly a mpei
remarkable feat, only equalled by that of th~g**at
Wm. Tell, with his “cross-bow and arrow,’’ shoot
ing an apple off his son s head. U will require an
extraordinary amount <:f cooiueis, nerve, judgment
and precision e\en io make the attempt and much
more tc accomplish it successfully, as we are cer
tain tke will do. Great steadiness of nerve
and acute sight are required to thus delicately play
with hair triggers, while aimiDg at an oraDge on the
head of a gentle and confiding youth, who trusts
his life to your keeping for the time being. When
we reflect that the lets! tremor or movement of a
mkjele may be sufficient to cause a premature dis
charge, and that the deviation of the fraction of an
inch from tbe precise aim might terminate fatally to
this trusting lad, the feat appears &9 fearfully won
derful as it is certainly novel.
Capt. Travis is a man of medium height and size
and well formed. He has a mild blue eye, with a
a very earnest expression. In manner he is per
fectly easy. With a high degree of suavity, he com
bines great coolness. He is the very man to exe
cute what he proposes, possessing, as he does all the
requisite necessary to accomplish his aim and hit his
object. The pistol which he intends to use in this
;nai sh >t is one made by Morgan James, of Utica,
New York, who has no superior in such workman
ship. Tbe oranges are eaea to be ‘2± inches in di
ameter. one is placed on the top of his head and one
on the back of each hacd.the arms being extended.
In this positition at the distance of ten paces or thir
ty feet facing the shooter, and with no intervening
object, Capt. John Travis proposes to hit each
orange ana has only three shots to hit the three
oranges. The feat is to be performed in this city in
June next. The boy who is to support ihe oranges is
ten years of age and a bright and sprightly lad.—
He nas every confidence in the ability ot Capt. Tra
vis to hit each object, and has equally as much in
his own nerve, which cannot be surpassed. He is
now under daily training.
The boy’s feet are placed twelve inches apart
and his hands upon his hips. The Captain shoots
through the angle made by the bending ot the arms
and between the feet. This done to accustom the
boy the firing, and, if possible, give him more ecn
fidenoe and make him feel at ease. From what we
have seen, he possesses all the nerve requsite to the
perfect accomplishment of this most extraordinary
feat. The little tellow is & native of Louisville, ancl
his mother is always present during the practising.
She is entirely satisfied that it will result in safety
to her son.— Lou. Jour.
“1 hope you will be able to support me,” said a
lidy while walking out with her intended, during
the’slippery state of the sidewalks. ‘ Why. yes,
said tbe somewhat hesitating swain, “with some
little aseistan-e from your fatfcei.”

Exchanges —The transactions in Exchange for the
past week have been light, owing more to our over
supply than any want of it, and holders weie rot dis
posed to meet a decline. The Banks are supplying all
demands for sight on New York at i per cent, premium.
There has been some trouble experienced in negotiating
bills drawn on persons in v orthern cities, and it is more
than probable that this difficulty will increase towards
summer, as the banks cannot afford an accumulation of
money there, and in summer there will be but little de
mand for checks.
A good supply of Sterling is offering, and tbe rate is

CHARLESTON, March 12.— Cotton— The transac

very active business was done at about the prices of the
previous day. The trade were in possession of the Eu
ropa s advices on Monday. To wliat extent these ad
vices may have influenced the operations, we are not
prepared to say, but certain it is, they ran ahead of those
of any previous day tills season. The transactions were
accompanied with rather improved rates on the middling
and lower descriptions. Tuesday may also be classed
as an active day, and prices were well sustained. The
sales of Wednesday and Thursday were heavy. The

the present dull stateof the market than the continuous
large receipts at the different Southern ports, stowing
