Kissing.
There’s a formal kiss tor fashion,
And a burning kiss of passion,
A I -th r’s ki-s,
A mother’s kiss,
A sister’s kiss to nerve;
There’s a traitor’s kiss for gold,
Lise a serpent’s clammy lold;
A first kiss,
A stolen kiss,
A thrilling kiss of love;
A ttteeting kiss,
A thaiden kiss,
A kiss when fond hearts sever,
But Ihe saddest kiss
On earth is this—
A kiss to part forever.

Inline of the Duello.
A Northern contemporary regards
tlie decadence of the duello at the
South as an encouraging indica
tiou that Southern men "feel that
they have work to do, and haven’t
any time for fooling.” It is to lie
hoped, however, that it is from A
higher motive than merely having
“woik to do” that duelling, which
is inhuman, absurd and vVi'Ckcd, is
less the fashion in the South rioW
Ihan formerly. Whatever senti
ment remains to support it is, of
Course, the result of past, teaching.
As to tlie abstract merits of the
question there is no difference of
opinion worth mentioning between
Northern and Southern people.
All agree that the duel is opposed
to tlie precepts of morality, of
common sense, of humanity, and
>.i justice. Y'et, strangely enough,
the custom was once well nigh
universal among both heathen and
Christian nations Jurists, and
chun hme:i upheld it, and moit
arebs were its patrons and regula
tors. Even now it prevails all
over Europe, in the most enlight
ened nations, and tlie Emperor Of
Germany,himself a professed 'Chris
tian man, has not fdt himself
strong enough to abolish it in his
army.but has la’ely prescribed rules
tending to regulate and limit it
It is not thereioie just to speak of
the duel as a barbaric custom pe
culiar to the South. I’iit: iiist duel
that ever took place in tin- United
States Was in the North Tlie‘'code
of honor” was at one time in full
force in New York and New Jer
sey. Every one knows that Gen.
Han ilton, of New York, was killed
in a duel with Colonel Burr, of
New York, in i BO4, the lattei be
ing Vice President, and tlie former
the grout leader ol the opposition.
Five shots were exchanged between
Dewitt Clinton, of New York, ami
John Swartwout in 1802, and a
! challenge passed between air. C,in
i ton and General Dayiot, ot New
! Jersey, in 1803
I one fly duels were very common
in tlie United States navy, ami
valuable lives were lost. In tin*
duel between Barron and Decatur
the latter was killed and the Bar
ton i-everely wounded. It is iclat
ed of Richard Somers,who petisiie*4
in the and who is said to
have been a mild man, that he
fought three duels in one day In
1830 President Jackson caused tlie
names of four officers to be sit tick
from the navy roll bee use they
had been engaged in a duel. Yet
Jackson himself bad been engaged
in a duel and killed his antagonist.
And of So little practical vdue was
his action in regard to the navy
officers referred to that one single
ship, the Falmouth, in 1834, had
three officers on board who had
killed men in duels, one of whom,
Lieutenant Ross of the Marines,
had-, horitblo to Velatv, killed three
men. Stiil the pram ice has now
been entirely suppressed in the
navy. Great tcfcims like tliia can
not he accomplished in a day, but
by judicious and persistent efforts
every cause which has reason and
humanity on its side will triumph
in the end. Slavery was once uni
Vernal, yet though ii required oeu
tiiiics to extinguish it,the end came
at last, and it might have come
long before, and might have peace
Inlly, au<l with the voluntary C >n
sent of the slaveholders, but lor the
offensive and dictatorial interfer
! cnee of outsiders.
At the same lime It must be ssid
. ol duelling, as it could not be of
; slavery, that not a dozen men in
1 any civiliaeil nation can be I >uud
to dvlvnd its theory. Scripture was
! often appealed tu lor the sanction
of sluveiy,but no one ever appealed
to scripture in support of duelling.
"Thou shalt not kill,” shut out all
reference to the inspired records.
The plea of utility advanced in
behalf of slavery would not he pre
tended in behalf of duelling. Who
or what was ever benefited by it?
Where is the common sense or jus
ii, eof the practice? The man who
i> in the right is i ften killed as the
wrong man Our attention has
1 been called to Ibis subject by a
I fact mentioned by the New Oilcans
Picayune that eX-Guveriioc Her
bert, of Louisiana, regarding him
self grossly insulted, lit* honor as
sailed, and his personal integrity
quest'imed l»y a recent edi*orial in
the New York World, had engaged
a compatriot to bear a Inmile w s
sage to Mr. Marble,but More send
1 ing it bethought him to consult
Roger A. Pryor,who once fought a
due! in Virginia, now a lawyer in
New York city. Tlie Picayune thus
report# the ensuing conversation .
* “'Now, Governor,” stud Mr. Pryor,
“df cthirse this with Id he in the
Smith ample ground for the resort
suggested; but have you any idea
of the consequences which would
How from it here?” “No,” replied
the Governor with simplicity and
some anxiety. ‘‘Theri I Will tell
vdtt," continued Pryor. “In two
hour# after Sending SW'ch it message
yon would be lodged in Ludlow
street jail, a very Uricrimfortable
place for a gentlcinali of your
tasbes nnd habits. Tliore\ too, you
would have to l'ehiAin stevriral days
Until your Itiends Vbttld get norite
£sl),ot)t) bail; nekt you WUuld be
sent before a grand jury, which
would find a true bill against you;
and finally yon would be sunt be
fore a court and a petit jury, with
the chances all against you, to sav
nothing of Very heavy law fees.”
The GoVelriitr's face grew visibly
longer and his moustache Stiffer at
this appalling picture. At last lie
gasped out the inquiry,“ls there no
mode then of getting satisfaction,
apology, or any sort of reparation
lor gross personal insults offered
here to gentlemen?'’ “Oh, yes,”
replied Pryor, the counsellor ol
New Yo,!i, '‘this is a good ease for
an action lor libel-.'’ “Brit "Miat
reparation would that give me?”
a>ked the indignant Creole. “Well,"
drawled out the ex Virginian, “I
think 1 could promise you a ver
diet i>f damages to an amount from
live cents to rive thousand dollars.
ExtJu if ftr the small amount it
would V..f'ry costs,’’
This is a sensible And practical
view of the subject as far as New
York is concerned. It ia Also ap
p'icable to our own State. The
“code of honor'’ Waß formerly rec
ognized here, yet to day a resort to
the duello would be as UeSafe in
Maryland as New Yoik. No peo
pie. North or South, have ever
shown themselves braver, where
courage was demanded in the per
formance of duty, than the people
of Maryland. The same morn I and
religious influences derived from
our own guides public opinion,
not from outsiders, which have
pioJuced this reform in Maryland,
may be relied upon to work the
same change in time in other S.rnili
err. Slates. Personal courage has
been ever regarded in the Soriili as
an indispensable virtue in man, but
il is a delusive sophistry anil a de
#tmotive curse to make the duel a
test of com age.or t»> hold that this
quality was given to man to qualify
him for persona! turoimliters like
those of game cocks, instead *of to
repel ami counteract unavoidable
dangers anil privations. Uultiinoi'e

A very comical conclusion to a
very ordinary (licit took place in
Paris recently. A srteak thiel eu-
I tered a gent lonian’s apartment one
j afternoon by means of false keys,
and proci oiled to ransack drawers
| and closets ill search of valuables.
To his disgust, he found neither
jewels, money, nor any portable
j valuables: so lie finally concluded
I to tieat himself to a new suit of
] clothe*. Accordingly, he selected
a nice outfit, including shirt, stock
ing», nnd underwear, laid them out
on the bed, and proceeded to re
move bis own gaunonts. Just as
he got to the critical point, when
his own clothes were off and the
new ones were not on, he lieind
some one open the enter door of
! the apartment, lie scrambled un
der tlie bed iii all haste, and while
Iving peril# there lie heard the new
comer prowling round the room,
opening drawers, etc., and finally
hoard him depart. He then crept
out but w hat was his horror to find
that the second individual had been
a brother thief, and that not only
the clothes ho ha I been about to
pul on Were gone, but bis own suit
as well. While be was in the
midst of a searcli for soutrs other
garment lie was again disturbed
by tile opening of a door, and lliis
lime he popped into a closet. This
last arrival proved to be the owner
of the apartment, who, finding his
furniture in disorder and his wear
ing apparel gone, proceeded to
search for tlie malefactor, and soon
discovered the poor,shivering eiiim
inal in tlie closet. He summoned
the police and gave him into cus
tody, and the unfortunate fellow
was conveyed to tho sation house,
wrapped in a blanket, and piteously
declaring that he had stolen noth
ing—that, on the contrary, he had
been rubbed, basely robbed, of all
; Ida clothing.

How They Played it on I»ttii
glierty.
On last week four or five Detroit
ers went irito Macomb county t.)
shoot squiirels and kick llieir shins
against log's ami fence rails. They
had just eaten a cold lunch in the
woods one noon when one of thb
party,a young man named Dougher
ty, stietched out on his hack, pulled
his hut over his eyes, and gave liis
mind tip to the wmk of assisthig
his body to catch a little rest. The
remainder of the party, having an
understanding before hand, quietly
withdrew, ontvby one. One of them
passed around to a bush near Dote
gherty's feet and took a tin rattle
box from his pocket. Another
stood close to the young man’s legs,
and, in a surprised voice, when the
signal was given, whispered :
‘For Heaven’s sake! Dougherty,
doSt’t move so much as a finger!
A hig rattle-snake is right under
yout leg-! 1
Dougherty was fiat on hie hack,
eves covered, arms squ aw led out,and
ins voice trembled a? lie replied :
‘My (jod! what shall I do?’
‘Keep perfectly quiet! It is your
only hope! If you even raise a fin
ger he will dart tits fangs into you!’
The tttab with the rattle box gave
it a shake, and reached out and laid
a club across Dougherty’s leg, while
the other mat), moved off üboul
twenty feet anJ exclaimed :
‘Heaven’s! wlihl •an we do? If
we shoot we may kill Dougherty!’
The club was roiled off' on the
ground and the victim whispeied:
‘For mercy rake kill it!’
Tiie club was rolled over his legs
again, the box shaken, and the man
whispered back:
‘He quiet or it is instant death!’ I
think the snake wants to go to
sleep, and if you wifi keep still
you will be all right.’
The box was shaken, the club
moved around, and Anally the
•snake” seemed to Dougherty to set
tle down mi his breast. He dared
not whisper for fear of rousing it,
but one of tlie mm called
‘There it is asleep! We’ll move
away and wait for it to glide off!’
The whole crowd nmVwd off behind
a hank and laughed and rolled and
tore up the dirt until they were de
serted, while pvrot Dougherty lay
ilietc like a log, not even daiing to
draw an ordinary breath. The
sweat ran down his face and started
out from his body until bis shirt was
wringing wot. The fed to Ws 'took their
guns and tramped away, leaving
him thus, and Were gone an hour
and a half. Whvrt they returned.
Doughcity was silting up* having
discovered the joke about five min
utes previously. lie didn’t have a
word to say, but tlieie was a whole
i.tnbridged dictionary in bis eye.—
They spoke to him hut for an an
swer he rose up,shouldered his gun,
and made a bee-line for the highway
and none of the party lias met him
since.
/. Jealous Wire's Mistake.—
West Third street, in the vicinity
ol Plum,had a sensation last even rig
that attracted a large crowd, A
tall, portly, well-dressed man, with
a woman eu Ins arm, was promenad
ing along the side wr'k, when an
other woman rushed up hubihd, atld
with an iron poker which she ha 1
concealed beneath her shawl, dealt
the female member of tiie pair a
Mow on the temple that felled Iter a
senseless burden into the arms of.her
companion. The assaulting patty
then lied To her home, but not before
site Inid discovered she had made a
mistake. In the dickering gaslight
she was deceived and took the strati
get' for her husband, whom she sus
peeled of maintaining an improper
intimacy with a bad woman. Be
tween tiie two men there is a strong
lesemhlanre. The injured woman
was conveyed to a drug store,where,
with proper restoratives,site revived,
and where her wound was found to
be not dangerous. Application was
made to the Third Street station for
the arrest of the person making the
assult, but tbs charge was sulmo
queuily withdrawn, and an effort
made to hush the matter up. — Cut

A negro man, one day last week,

I’kE-ABAUIftr Man— A CcßiotiS
Discovery —G. Tonski, a Swede,
moved from Htirklunan lOuntV.Mis
ouri, last spring, and opened up a
farm in tlie northern edge of Brown
county. Two weeks ago lie commen
ced digging a well, and at the dis
tance of forty two feel struck some
cedar poles, five inches thick, which
lay across the well like a corduroy
road. Removing there after con
siderable woik with a hatchet, as
the narroWhcsS of the well prbVCHtv
ed the use of a iaiger tool, he struck
a similar obstruction a foot lower
down. N*it discouraged, the plucky
Swede went to work on’the second
obstruction, and finally succeeded in
removing that also. Some of the
poles were Us solid And sound as
when first put down, others were
petrified.and a part of it was so rotten
as to crumble to pieces as soon as
struck by the air. Underneath this
second layer of wood was found
four human skulls, partly decayed,
a stone axe, two stone spear heads*
a large stone pipe howl, a atone
mortar, and two tArtlrehVirtue kettles*
