In ike year 183- there lived at Bord eaux, the last.—or one of tlie last—of o long line of scoundrels who lmd made that part, of Li since iofamous (to our ideas) by a sue. vs.sion of cold-blooded murders, committed under the sanction of "■’..lit 1 ..t.-ivftteWrt to rail tlto Code <\t 'l’ljiK wtHifi Comte de \ , a I', mi of RTPiit , pliyiueal streufttli, inilifi'tiirlmbli' »nnj/jr‘‘i(l, null vuldiitlewH ur.iulty. Not. a lmd : urt of coinjumion, as soiiui wiiil, when the tit—the dueling lit —wiiß not on him; blit this cnine on once in nhout every six months, and tin'll he must lmvu blood, it muttered little whose. He lmd killed and maimed boys of sixteen, fathers of families, military officers, journalists, advocates, peaceful country-gentlemen. The cause of it quarrel was of no importance ; if one did not present, itself r adily, he made one ; always contriving that, ac cording to the t ■ode aforesaid, he should be the insulted party, thus having the ! choice of weapons ; mid he was deadly with the small sword. It is difficult for j us to realize a state of society in which j •such a wild beast copiil be permitted to j go at large ; but weiluiow it to be histor- , ioally true, that such' efwrttia-es were en dured in France, jitst us we are assured ! that there were at one time wolves in \ Yorkshire, only tluf less noisome vermin bad a harder time) of it as civilization progressed than ‘fas dealt out to the ; huiium brute. j i Tlie latest exploit of the Comte de ; V- -previous to the story I am about | to tell, was to guild a poor student into u j challenge ; and When it was represented ! to him that the hoy had never held a | sword iu his life, so that it would be ! fairer to use pistols, he replied that j “fools sometimes made mistakes with pistols,” and the next morning ran him i through the lungs. The evil fit was on him ; but the blood thus shed quieted him tor another half year, and rattier more, lot put.be opinion was un favorable, and the air of Bordeaux be came too warm for him. But the scandal blew over after a time, and he came lick to his old haunts, one of w hich was in case by the river side, where many used to spend their Sunday. Into the little’garden of tins establish ment our wolf swaggered one fine sum mer afternoon, with the heavy dark look and nervous twitching of the hands w hich those wlio.were acquainted with him knew well meant mischief. The evil fit was on him ; consequently he found himself tlije center of a circle which expanded its he went on. This did not displease him. He liked to be feared. He knew lie could make a quarrel when he chose, so lie looked around for a victim. At a table almost in the middle of the garden sat a man of about thirty years of age, of middle height, aud an expres ion of oounteuanoe which at first struck one as mild and good humored. He was engaged rending a journal which seemed to interest him, and eating strawberries, an occupation which does not call forth any latjit strength of character. Above all, he was profoundly unconscious of the pretence of JI. le Comte de V , and continued eating his strawberries and rowing his paper as (hough no wolf were it that pleasant fold. As the Count approached this table, it bocome sufficiently well known whom he was about to honor with his insolence ; and the circle narrowed again to see the play. It is not bad sport, with some of us, to see a fellow-creature baited—espe- j ially when we are out of danger of wolves. The strawberry-eaters’ costume was j not such as was ordinarily worn in i France at that time, and he had a curious j hat, whipl)—the weather being warm— i he had placed on the table by his side. : “He is a foreigner,” whispered some in the dress circle. “Perhaps he does not know Monsieur le Comte.” Monsieur le Comte seated himself at the table opposite the unconscious stranger, and called loudly, “Oareon.” “Garcon,” he said, when that function ary appeared, “take away that nasty thing !” pointing to the hat aforesaid. Now tlie stranger’s elbow, as he read his journal, was on the brim of the “nasty thing,” which was a very good hat, but bf British form and make. The garcon was embarrassed. “Do you hear me?” thundered the Count. “Take me that thing away! No one has a right to place his hat on the table.” “I beg your pardon,” said the straw berry-eater, politely placing the ofie-ud- ! ing article on his head, and drawing a | chair a little aside ; “I will make room | for Monsieur. ” The garcon was about to retire well satisfied, when the bully called after ! him “Have I not commanded you to take j that thing w l rich annoys me away?” “But, Monsieur le Comte, it is ini- , possible.” “What is impossible “That J slum iu take the gentleman’s hut.” “By no moans, ’ observed the stranger, j uncovering again. “Be so good, as to j carry my hat to the lady .it the counter, aud ask her, on my behalf, to do me the favor to accept charge of it for the ! present.” “You speak Flench passably well for j a foreigner,” said the bully, stretching { his arms over the table, and looking bis neighbor full in the face.—a titter of con tempt going round the circle. “1 am not n foreigner, Monsieur.” I “1 am sorry for that.” 1 “So Hill 1.” 1 “May one, without indiscretion, iu why 1” I “Certainly. Because, if I were a f foreigner, I should Ik? spared the pain of seeing a compatriot behave himself very ! rudely.” ! “Meaning me?” I “Meaning precisely you.” : “Do yon*know who I am?” asked the Count, half turnjng his back upon him, and facing the looker-oil, as much as to say, “Now observe how I will crush this poor creature.” “Monsieur.” replied the strawberry eater, with perfect politeness in liis tone, “I have the honor not to know you. ” “Death of my life ! lam the Comte de V- -.” The strawberry-eater looked up and tlie easy, good-natured face was gone. In its place was one with tw»o gray eyes which flashed like tire, aud a mouth that set itself very firmly. “The Corate de V——he repeated iu a low voice. “Yes, Monsieur. And what have yon to say against him ?” “I? O nothing.” “That may be well for you.” “But there are those who say he is a coward.” - “That is enough,” said the bully, j starting to his feet. “Monsieur will find me in two hours at this address,” Hing ing him a card. “I shall not trouble myself to seek Monsieur le Comte,” replied the straw berry-eater, calmly tearing the card in two. “Then I shall say of Monsieur what lie, permitting himself to lie, said just j now of me.” “Aud that is ?” “That he is a coward.” “You may say what you please, ! Monsieur le Comte. Those who know j me would not believe you, and those j who do not—mj faith ! what ewe I what j they think ?” “And thou—thou art a Frenchman 1” j No one but a Frenchman could have | thrown so much disdain as he did into I tlie "thou." The strawberry-eater made no reply, j but turned Ins head and called “tbir- ! con !” The poor trembling creature came up again, wondering what new dilemma was prepared for him, and stood quaking some ten yards off, “Garcon,” said tlie stranger, “is there a room vacant iu the hotel ?” “Without doubt, Monsieur.” “A large one ?” “But certainly. They, are all large— own apartments.” “Then engage the largest for me to day, and another—no matter what—for Monsieur le Comte.” “Monsieur, I give my own orders when necessary,” said the Count, loftily. “I thought to spare you the trouble. Go, if you please,” (this to the waiter,) “and prepare my rooms.” Then the strawberry-eater returned to his strawberries. The bully gnawed his lip. He could not make head or tail of this phlegmatic opponent. The circle NO. 21. ; grew a little wider, for a horrid idea got abroad that the Conut had not found one who was likely to suit him, and that he would have to seek elsewhere what he wanted. The murmur that went round roused the bully. “Monsieur,” he hissed, “has presumed to make use of a word which among men of honor—” “I beg your pardon ?” “Which among men of honor—” ; “But what can Monsieur le Comte possibly kuow what is felt among men of j honor ?” asked the other with a shrug of | incredulity. “Will you fight yourself with me, or ! will yo •. not,” loured the Count, goaded j to fury. “if Monsieur le Comte will give him- | self the trouble to accompany me to the ] apartni<'lit which, no doubt, is now pre- ; pared for me,” replied the .stranger, ris- ! ing, “1 will satisfy him.” “Good,” said the other, kicking down j his chair ; “I am with you. I waive the usual preliminaries, i only beg to on- i servo that I am without arms ; but if you—” “O, don’t trouble yourself on that | score,” Wild the stranger, with a grim smile, “it you are not afraid, follow i me.” This lie said in a voice sufficiently loud for the nearest to hear, and the circle parted right and left, like startled sheep as tile two walked towards the house. Wjis there no 0110 to call “police,” no one to tiy and prevent what to all seemed j imminent ? Not a soul! The dreaded du- I elist had his evil tit on, and every one j breathed freely now that he knew the victim was selected. Moreover, no one supposed it would end there. Tlie count ami ins friend (?) were ush ered into the apartment prepared for the latter, who, as soon as the garcon had left, took off his coat and waistcoat, and proceeded to move the furniture so as to leave the room free tor what was to fol low—the count standing with folded arms, glaring at him the while. The decks being cleared for action, the stran ger locked the door, placed the key on the mantel-piece behind him, and said : ; “I think you might have helped a iit j tie, but never mind. Will you give me j your attention for five minutes !” j “Perfectly.” J “Thank you. I am, as 1 have told | yon, a Frenchman, but I was educated | m England, at one of her famous public j school.!. Mini 1 lo: 1 " ad V\ one of our own Lyeees,. I should, perhaps, have ! gained more book knowledge, but, as it | is, J have learned some tilings which we !do not teach, ami one of them is, not to take a menu advantage of any man, but to keep my own head with my own hands. Bo you understand me, Monsieur le Comte ?” “I cannot flatter myself that I do.” “Ha ! Then I must be more explicit. I learned, then, that one who takes ad vantage of mere brute strength against the weak, or who, practiced iu any art, compels one uupraoUeed iu it to contend with him, is a coward and a knave. Bo you follow me now, Monsieur leComteV” “X came here, Monsieur—” “Never mind for what you came, be content with what you will get. For ex ample—to follow what i was observing— if a man skilled with a small sword for . flic mere vicious love of quarrelling, 1 goads to madness a boy who has never leaned iu his life, and kills him, that ; man is a murderer ; and more—a cow- ■ ardly murderer, and a knavish.” “1 think I catch your meaning ; but if you have pis Lois here-—” loamoil tlie bnl ly. “i do not come to eat strawberries with pistols in my pocket,” replied the other, in the same calm tone he had used throughout. “Allow me to continue. At that school of which I have spoken, and m the society of men who have grown out of it, and others where the same habit of thought prevails, it would be considered that a man who had been guilty of sucli eowarilice and knav ery as i have mentioned, would be just .y punished if, some day, he should be paid iu liis own coin by meeting some one who would take him at the same dis advantage us lie placed that poor boy at. ” "Our seconds shall fix your owu wea t ous, Monsieur,’ saul the Count; “let this farce end.” ‘ 'l/resell tiy. Those gentlemen whose opinions X now venture to express, not Having tlia’. erase for blood which dis t.nguishes sonic—-who have not had a similar enlightened education—would pruoabiy think that such a coward and Knave as we have been considering noiud best meet ills deserts by receiving a humiliating castigation belitting his knavery and his cowardice.” “Ah ! I see ; I have a lawyer to deal with,” sneered the Count. “Yes. X have studied a little law, but I regret to say I am about to break one of its provisions.” “Y’ou will fight me then ?” “Yes. At the school we have been speaking of, I learned, among other things, the use of my hands ; and if I mistake not, I am about to give you as sound a thrashing us any bully ever got.” “You would tuke advautivge of your skill iu the box?” said tho Count, getting a little pale.” Exactly.

HARD TIMES. What a prolific time of complaint. Ask jour neighbor what he thinks, and he thinks of ‘hard times.’ How be feels.*-- and he feels the hard times.” The co>M| plaint is unive rsal, general, and the consequences are apparent to A community can soon complain itsellH onto! money, credit, enterprise, aud ini fact every other requisite to its generj good and welfare. Just now we are n. aiizing some of the benefits of course. Bailiffs are like warriors on t war-path ; merchants, eagerly, l.y striving to collect even the smallest* accounts due them. Bankers are grave, A and sit with closed vaults. J “Xo accommodations” is written on faces, and all results from our desire to complain of “the times.” Let! us hedge off for awhile. Do as you please, “the times” are not l so bad as we suppose. There is bread I in the country—plenty of it—and moiM e y> t*>o, as to that. We know we speak. Let us quit complaining, and rest assured “the times” will assuredly grow better, and we will be a happier J and better contented community. i That’s What’s the Matter.—You may think the word that of very little consequence. If you will read on, however, you will soon see that that is of considerable importance. You will see that that that, which is used in the second sentence, is used as a noun. And we will say still further that thatr' that that has been spoken of last third sentenoe, is also a noun. - Wo gave the fourth'sentence out one time to a gentleman to parse, and friend afterward remarked, “that that that that that gentleman parsed, was parsed in correctly. ” The first gentleman retorted, “that,- ‘that that that that gentleman parsed,’ was rather a clumsy sentence.” Another oue said, “that, ‘that that that that that that,’ was a still more clumsy sentence.” A lady present ventured the suggestion, “that, ‘that that that, that that’that that gentleman made use of was a correct grammatical sentence,-’.’ ’ That’s enough..
