EXTRACT OF A LETTER.
“I t in truth, would rather avoid expres
sing my opinions on this subject, (Duel
ling,) as I know they are different from
those of most men, and would be disa
greeable to thos concerned in putting
down the custom ; but as your request is,
as you state, founded on a desire to ob
tain such information as will enable you
to deduce certain principles whereon to
act, in cases of emergency, I will com,
ply, but beg you will allow me to remind
you of the necessity you impose on your
self in searching after correct principles,to
compare all that will be said on both sides
of the question.”
“ Wars between nations have very apt
ly been called Duelling on a large scale ;
they are so in fact, as the same principle
is acted on in both cases, viz—redress for
real or imagined injuries. Wars have
existed ever since the formation of socie
ty, and the Bible is authority for stating
that the first blood that stained the earth,
was shed to satify the vengeance of mm
out of the three men that then existed ;
in it, also, we find the wars of ihe Israel
ites lecorded, and especial mention is
made of the single combat, or duel, be
tween David and G. liali—the same re
cords inform us that these wars, &c. were
sanctioned, and in many instances direct
ed bv God himself.”
“ In an old work, now before me, I
discover the following, which shows in
what state society was then :—
“ This custom,” (Duelling) “came ori
ginally from the northern nations, among
whom it was usual to decide all their con
troversies by arms. Both accuser <$• accus
ed, gave pledges t<> the judges on their
respective behalf; and the custom pre
vailed so far among the Germans, Danes
. .ml Franks, that none were excused trmn
• a but women, sick persons, cripples, and
such as were under 21 years of age, or
■ over (30—even ecclesiastics, priests, and
monks, were obliged to find champions to
fight in their stead. The punishment of
the vanquished, was either death by hang
ing or beheading, or mutilation of mem
bers, according to the circumstances of
the case,” <Sc.c. “ In England, the trial
by duel is disused—the law on which it is
founded is still in force.”—(1764.)
“ Now, if Duelling has existed ever
since the formation of society, and was at
any particular period, from than till now,
sanctioned by the Almighty, why
is it now considered a sin against
him?—If the state of society was once,
such as to authorize the practice of this
custom, to the extent before mentioned,
why is it now said to strike at the very
root or foundation of society ?—Is it that
men tire more easily convinced of the
moral obligations they are under, or do
they with more certainty distinguish which
action is most pleasing to the deity ?—In
short, are men now better learned—more
virtuous or religions, than those win in old
times not only sanctioned, but also prac
ticed Duelling ? The auswers are obvi
ous.
Religion may reform, but did oot form
society—men associated themselves to se
cure the means of subsistence which their
multiplication had rendered precarious—
the strong man despoiled the weak, and
imperious necessity was the motive tor
the first act of injustice Action and re
action did not suit the temper of man.—
Those who had by their strength to-day
despoiled tire weak, would to-morrow be
despoiled by an aggregate power, and re
ciprocal acts of injustice became the bond
of union, the nucleus, the very key stone
of society. Justice was not discovered
until those who had amassed large stocks
of the necessaries of life found tune unem-
we see the widow and orphan in distress,
and our hearts bleed for them.—These
are feelings that ought to be excited, they
lead to reflections which, if not perverted
from their natural course, would awaken
important convictions, and teach us to ex
ercise that virtuous sympathy, that noble
charity, that all who are men in truth are
proud to practice, and it h those only
who cannot acknowledge such impressions
on their little souls, that are vociferating
loudest against duelling. I cannot resist
the application of the old law. “ He
strains at a gnat and swallows a camel, to
the “ hub-bnb” that is perpetually raised
against duelling. There are a thousand
other vices practiced as openly, wjt"
worse effects on society, and attended with
more certain misery to a numerous class
of individuals, and little or no exertion is
made to correct them. Can the eternal
well-being or misery of one of our race,
be of more importance to the deity than
another, that his worshipers should leel
more interested in the death of a duelist
than in a bawd. I will go no further, and
if what I have advanced is not clearly
drawn from the existing state of society,
I beg you will not admit it as leading to
the establishment of the principles you are
in search of. We may never have occa
sion to exercise this principle, but it is j
laudable In all men to lay up such j
stores of knowledge—such land marks,
that they may always be able to act con
sistently.” NIHIL.
THE SAILOR’S RETURN.
There was not in the whole villag 0
of a prettier dwelling than that of
the widow Wilson. Strangers who pas-
native village. His gains had been con
siderable, and he gladdened the hearts of
Lucy and William, by the assurance that
there now need be no obstacle to their u-
nion. Never did the village boast of a
gayer bridal, the honest sailor felt his
heart bound with joy at having been the
instrument of promoting their happiness,
and his hard earned gains were freely ex
pended to deck the lovely bride. The
widow and her son, with William and his
Lucy, aud his aged mother, inhabit the
cottage, and a happier family never exis
ted. The honest sailor amuses himself
by working in their little gardens, and
and twining the woodbines and honey
suckles round the walls of their dwelling;
planting flowers around the green yard,
or in telling long stories of toils, and dan
gers at sea always ending them with a
fervent thanksgiving that lie had quitted .2
roving life, and was enabled to live wilfcf -
comfort and happiness in the home of his
child-hood. The widow lived to a good
old age, rejoicing in the happiness of her
children, and acknowledging that although
our heavenly Father ees fit to chastise
his children, he does it in love ; and that,
even in this world, piety and resignation
sometimes meet their reward.—Bower of
Teste.

sed along the road frequently stopped to
admire its neatness. The walls were kept
nicely whitewashed, aud the luxuriant
honev-suckle and woodbine half hid the
bright windows; the little green before
the" door was always neat, and the sweet-
brie , clambering over the low paling, gave
to the little enclosure an air of rustic gai
ety. I was a sweet little spot in sum
mer ; and in winter it was not destitute of
beauty.
The widow had lived there in the life
time of her husband ; there she had rear
ed it familv of two sons and a daughter, all
good & affectionate ; there all her happi
est da vs Itad been past; but the scene was
now changed. The affectionate husband
was taken off by a sudden illness, soon af
ter, their eldest inclined to a roving life,
had left them to go to sea; the other soon
followed his father to the grave. The
widow bore ’lies? heavy bereavements as
became a Christian. She now lived in
the cottage with her only daughter Lucy,
now about eighteen—the pride and solace
of her mother, and the darling of all who
knew her. Lucy Wilson was indeed a
sweet girl, and her cheerful piety, affec
tionate cares, and unwearied industry,
soothed and sustained her bereaved pa
rent. In the long winter evenings she
used to read or sing to her mother; it was
she who in summer kept their little gar
den so neat, and trained the honey-suck-
les and woodbines around the windows;
her smiling countenance always cheered
her mother’s heart, and notwithstanding
their heavy bereavement, the widow and
her Lucy strove against the melancholy,
that sometimes oppressed them, and with
humble piety bowed to the will of theii
father in heaven.
Lucy Wilson was not without admirers
among the yoHng men of the village.—
She was courteous and friendly to all, but
her heart in all its native innocence and
truth was given to William Hammond.—
William had loved Lucy even in their
school days, and nothing hot his poverty
prevented their being united. He was
the whole support of his widowed mother,
ami fortune had not smiled upon his hon
est endeavours to obtaiu a competence
sufficient to enable him to claim the hand
of his fond and gentle Lucy. It is true
he had often urged her to marry, telling
tier that heaven would bless his endeavors,
and that he should be able to keep want
from the door. But Lucy listened to the
prudent advice of her mother, and smi
ling, bade him wait for better times.
It was on a sweet evening in thebe-
twining of winter—Lucy had kindled a
cheerful fire in their little sitting room.—
William had called in, as was his custom,
to spend an hour with them, and was rea
ding to them a book which he had brought
for that purpose. The story was a sad
ployed irksome to them; the arts were j one—a narative of ship wreck! The mo-

YOUNG NAPOLEON.
The Young Napoleon is an interesting
youth, beautifully fo mod with the counte
nance and fine cut lips of trs father, and
the blue eyes of his mother. One can
not see this blooming youth, with his inex
pressible tint of melancholy and h ugh;-
fulness, without a deep emotion.—He has
not that marked plain and familiar ease of
the Austrian princes, who seem to be eve
ry where at home ; his demeanor is more
dignified and noble in the extreme. He
has an Arabian steed, which lie strides
with a nobleness which gives the promise
of as good horsemanship as that for winch
his father was so celebrated. His .squa
dron almost adore him ; and he com
mands with a precision and a military eye,
which prognosticate a future gene al. He
is by virtue of an imperial decree, propri
etor of the eighth dominion of the Grand
Duke of Toskana, in Bohemia with an in
come of above £25,000 sterling, a greater
revenue than is enjoyed by any of the im
perial princes, the Archduke Charles ex
cepted His title is Duke of Reichstadt
He is addressed “ Duer Curchlancht.”—
Votre Altesse.) His rank is immediately
after that of the princes of the reigning
house, the Austrian family of Este and
Toskana. His court establishmert is the
same with the imperial Princes ; he has
obsthofeneister, his lord chamberlain, aids
de camp, and a corresponding inferior
household. In possession, as he is of a
large fortune, his destiny will depend on
his talents and on his inclination.
Austria as It Is
New-Orleans, Dec. 20.
This day, twenty-four years ago Louis
iana became a part of the American Re
public. Tbe mind, in recurring to that
part of our history, is enraptured and as
tonished at the revolutions a few years
may bring forth. This, seemingly a few
years ago, a Spanish hamlet, is to-day a
powerful and opulent city ! The hovels of
former ages are daily giving way to the
more elegant structures of commerce.—
There can be seen no monument of Cas
tilian despotism; no thraldom of rapa
cious clergy, and scarce a kindred tongue
to speak Pizarro’s name. The character
of the citv bears no resemblance to what it
was. It is American (always and every
where an honorable appellation,) in feel
ing, wealth and freedom. W T ith an ex
tensive and continually increasing ship
ping; the best of steam power navigation ;
a growing rich population, and the com
merce of several States actually centred
here—all give promise, that New Orleans
is destined to be one of the first cities in
the world.

The Cock afloat in a Bowl—Many at
tempts have been made to explain why
the cock is sacred to Minerva ; and his
claims to her protection is often founded
on an assumed pre-eminence of wisdom
and sagacity. This brings to our mind a
story related by a gentleman, late resident
in the Netherlands, of acock in a farm
yard somewhere in Holland, near Rotter
dam whose sagacity saved him Irom per
ishing in a flood, occasioned by the burst
ing of one of the dykes. The water rush
ed furiously and suddenly in to the village
swamped every house to the height of the
first story so that the inhabitants were
obliged to mount and had no communica

cattle and’other animals and many fowls
perished. ’ Our friend chanticleer, how

What is existence without character?—Is
it not sought even in the cannon’s mouth.
The moralist would say, “ seek redress
by the law of your country.” The law
of any country is but a poor plaster to
■' patch up a wounded reputation ; it cannot
avert the finger of scorn, or the iusiduous
whisper of tho malicious that reaches to
the very marrow and curdles the hearts

wanton barbarity that ought not to be en

the contrary was admitted, our legislators
would soon be busied in regulating th8
scrapes and congees of a cotillion party,
and making the step of a waltz, contorm

the door. It was opened, and a man in
seamen’s dress stood before them. The
widow, with a scream of joy, recognized
her sou, and she and Lucy’ were alter

sailor. All was joyful confusion; tears
and smiles were mingled ; Charles had
his tales of peril and hardship to recount,
but first his affectionate heart unburthened
itself in tears for the death of bis father
