IIo offered a klM in the morning Hut I coldly turned nway ; For an Idlo word that I overheard Had wrangled a night nnd a day, I know In tiuthlt was nothing mint ho would hu o blushed to own. That point and sting of tho trilling thing Orow out of my hemt alono. Dut a vexed, unquiet spirit Weighs no matter aright, And the sore smart of a Jealous heart Puts reason out of sight. I let him go in tho morning Without tho kiss ho sought ; And tho day was long, but I nursed my wrong With many a bitter thought. Ono bitter thought, nod help mo I Did not enter my brain, That kls3 of mine, by word or sign, He would ncior seek again. Dut ns evening shadows gathered, My heai t began to bum Witli a (tulckcntd sense of his Influence, And I longed for his return. Leaning against tho window That overlooked tho street, I strained my ear his step to hear In the crow d of hurrying feet, r.u- off In Iho dimmest distance, 1 sliould have known It well ; Dut thcie camo Instead a munied tread And n sharp alarm of the hell. Some griefs, though deep nnd bitter, Find nt last their cures, Dut somo retain the old, old pain As long as life endures.

For fivc-and-fotty years I have borno tho name of l'eter Smith. Though you havo never heard of me, I (Litter myself that my family namo will bo familiar to you. lam epiiet in my habits, and, I believe, not dis posed to intcrfero with tho rights of other inon ; yet even thU did not avail to savo mo somo ten years sinco Irom becoming involved in an affair of honor. Let mo tell you how it happened. At tho timo of which I speak I was an in mate of Mrs. Jones' family, I uso tho word inmato advisedly, sinco it was well known that Mrs. Jones nover took boarder?. In fact, sho expressly gavo mo to understand that her only inducement in taking mo was tho pleasure sho expected to derive from my society j that sho was far above mercenary considerations. Of courso T felt Ilattcred by tho compliment thus insinuated though I confessed I was somewhat surprised, sinco all mercenary considerations wcro disclaimed to bo charged a higher rate for board than I over paid. Still I did not demur, feeling certain that I had nt length found a homo. Let mo describo Mrs. Jones, my hostess. Physically speaking, I should say that sho camo of a great family, her proportions be ing most aristocratic, In her demeanor to ward mo sho was always 'very gracious and condescending, for which I felt properly grateful. Sho always camo to tho table arrayed in stiff satin, tho very rustlo of which betrayed her con-cipicnce, and im pressed mo witlt my comparative itislgnill canco. Mrs. Jones had n daughter, by tho namo Sophronia. In external appcaranco sho was qulto unllko her parent, being exceedingly tall and slender j while; tho other Is exceed ingly short nnd dumpy. In a copy of verses which bho was kind enough to show mo, soma enthusiastic young man had tho tem erity to call her u sylph. I do not know much about sylphs, never having seen ono to my knowledgo; but I question much whether oylphs havo red hair, or noses with nu upward tendency. 1 havo my doubts al so tu to whether sylphs squint. Still I nm fur from denying that Miss Sophronia Jones was a sylph, sinco that belief evidently af fouled her satisfaction. Mrs. Jones' table was admirably adapted for a vuletudiiiariau. Thero ho would find no dishes of unwholesoino richness noth ing, indeed, that was calculated to induce I'sceasivo catlug. Jf s somo physicians have derlared.hcalth is best preserved by al ways rising from the table witli an appetite, I was never in f.iircr way to secure its blessings than when enjoying the genteel in Htillicicnsy of Mrs. Jones' hospitality. About a mouth after my arrival, conver sation turned, at tlio dinner table, upon a concert which was to bo given the same evening by Signora Fulfill ini. I have a poor memory fur Italian names, but this is tho name, to the bet of my recollection. "I wish I could go, ma," said tho fair Sophronia. "So you could, my dear," replied Mrs. Jones, "if you had a gentleman protec tor." Thereupon she began to disclaim against tho customs of society which precludo a lady's attending a place of amusement with out a gentleman, lamenting that Sophronia had on this account been more than once de barred from gratifying her exquisite tasto in music. Of courso I could not in politeness refrain from offering my escort, although I sliould thereby bo prevented from attending the weekly meeting of tho club of which I was a member. Sophronia was in great confusion, and sho could not think of troubling me. I began to hope that she would not, but tho mother quickly silenced scruples by say that she was a silly girl, (thirty-five if she's a day,) and that she must not think of re fusing. Sophronia mado no further objcctions,and I had the pleasure of paying a high price for a cotiplo of tickets. Xnturo not having bestowed on me a musical ear, I could enter but indifferently into the rapturo of my companion, who pro nounced Signora Falfalini's singing divine, although slio considered Iter quite devoid of personal attractions, Tlio Signora being built after tlio same model as Sopluonia, I qitito agreed witlt her in this bit of criti cism. "Do you knnvvV'simpcrcd my companion, confidingly, "I havo myself thought at times that I was designed by nature for u prima donna, or an opera singer, like Signora Fal falini'i" "Then why do you not beeomo one?" I enquired. "ilecauso ma bad such an objection lo anything nf a public character. She felt that I should be demeaned by so doing, and advised mo to content myself with con tributing to tlio gratification of my friends at home. You havo never heard me sing, I think." I had, at times, heard a shrill voice, in a very high key,, as I sat in my room, which had struck mo as far from agreeable. I thought it best, however, without mention ing this, to utter a simple negative. "You must not expect much," continued Sophronia; "my voico is rough and unculti vated. Ma is always telling me that 1 ought to devote moro jittention to it; but I can never sing except when inspiration seizes me. If you will como in to-morrow evening I will sing to you, if you would like." I expressed my thanks fur tiiis disinterested kindness, and, as the concert was finished, proceeded to escort tho lady home. As wo wcro making our way through the crowd it chanced that somo one.aecidentaliy or otherwise, jostled my companion. She immediately seized my arm con vulsively and informed mo that she had been insulted. "Who did it?" stammered I, for I con fess my courago is not of tho highest order. In reply Sophronia pointed out a small man with n fierco moustache, who was stand ing at a llttlo distance. Mentally deciding that it might not bo prudent to havo nu altercation witlt such n person, I hastened to nsiitro my companion that it might liavo been an accident, "Xu," said she, very decidedly. "It was not an accident. It was intentional. I wisli you to demand an apology in my name." "Don't you think it would bo better," said I,in great embarrassment, "lo treat him with silent contempt?" Sophronia was by no mean? of this opin ion. Accordingly I approached tho gentle man, who appeared still nioro fnriuidablo on a nearer view, and asked, in what wasju tended to bo a resolute lone, "What ho meant by insulting tho lady under my chargo?" "Slr-r-rl" ho ejaculated, wheeling sharply around. 1 repeated my request in n fainter tone, and suggested that I trusted il was acciden tal ou his part. Stiokinghis moustache very fiercely, ho informed mo that ho had no explanation to mako ; that if I wished to hear from him at any tlmo, I should havo nn opportunity, nnd forthwith presented his card, Without stop ping to look at it, I slunk away in tho crowd and Boon reached home. My companion intimated that sho sup posed I should seek satisfaction iu the usual way. I said Homcthing indistinctly I am not Buro exactly what and very thankfully took lcavo of tho fair Sophronia in the entry. Iteaclilng my chamber, I examined tho card which had been placed in my hand, and found Inscribed llicrcon tho namo of Captain Achilles llrown, Astnr House. Yery probably ho was distinguished bythesanio qualities which characterized his great name sake, nnd It niailomoHhivrr even to think of a cnnlllct with him, ltcsolvlng that I would at least take every possible means to avoid it, I went to bed and sank into n slumber disturbed by frightful dreams, in which I f.mcicd myself shot through tho heart by tho tertible Achilles llrown. Early next morning, while lu tho momen tary expectation of hearing the breakfast bell, I was startled by n knock nt the door Immediately afterward entered a tnlt man, "bearded liken pard." Ho Introduced him self to mo ns a cousin of Sophronia, and in timated that, having heard nf my dilliculty of the previous cvcnlnpjic had como to offer bis services as my second. Thanking him for his kindness;,! said that I had not, as yet, decided to call out the gentleman in question. "X'ot yet decided 1" repeated my visitor, springing to his feet, causing mo thereby to recede two paces, in somo personal appro henion. "Xot yet decided I Hut perhaps I do not understand you." I intimated, rather uncomfortably, that I bad conscientious scruples against the prac tice of tlio duello. "Conscientious fiddlesticks!" interrupted my visitor. "Sir, you must fiht. There is no alternative. A lady has been insulted whilo under your protection. That lady is my cousin. Unlcs you take notice of if, I must. "lint you havo no quarrel with Capt. llrown," I said. "You misunderstand mo, said he. gravely. "Unless you challenge Capt. Drown, I shall understand it ns a personal disrespect to my cousin, and shall challenge you. Chooso which of ns you will light." This was said so resolutely that I suc cumbed at once. I reflected that, whilo ther was equal danger lo bo incurred in a duel with my visitor, thero would bo less credit. "Shall I write tho missive?" inquired my companion, who called himsolf Lieutenant Kustace. "Yes," said I, faintly. lie sat down at my desk, and in a few minutes produced tlio following : "Sir : You grossly insulted a young lady, while under my protection, last evening. As n man of honor,! call upon you for ample apology, or for tlio usual satisfaction accord ed in such cases. I send thero, by Lieut. Eustace, who is authorized to act as my friend. Yours, etc., Peteu Smith. "Captain Achilles Brown." Having signed this, witli some misgivings, I inquired as to tho character of Captain lirown. "I don't know much about him," said my friend, "but I suppose ho is a regular fire eater." This was satisfactory very. "Suppose," said I, in a tremulous voico, "you erase tlio word 'ample' before 'apology.' I consider apology sufficient." "Hut I shall not," was tho lieutenant's emphatic reply. Thero was no more to bo said. IIo de patted with his missive ; audi was left iu no very enviable frame of mind. On his re turn, "Has he apologized ?" I inquired, eagerly. "Xot n bit of it," was the reply ; "he vows that ho will shed the last drop of his blood first." "What a sanguinary monster bo must be," was my internal reflection. "Tho meeting is appointed for to-morrow-morning, an hour befuro sun-rise," resumed tho lieutenant. "It is to take place at Hobo ken ; weapons, pistols ; distance, fifteen paces." "Isn't that rather near ?" I ventured to remark. "Xcar? Of courso you want it near. You will be more likely to hit your man. "And ho will bo moro likely to hit me," I replied. "Of course," was tho reply. "You must take your chances of that." I could not help wondering whether he would bo so' cool about it if ho were the principal, and I the second. In fact I have always observed that seconds are much .moro scrupulous about the honor of their princi pals than tliey aredisposed to bo about their own, I suppose it is human nature. I think it altogether likely that I should make a very fierco second. "I suppose you are used to pistols?" re marked my friend. Used to pistols ! I remember onco having fired ono as a boy, to the imminent danger of my llttlo sister's life. Since then I had not had one in my hands. As I strolled out into tho streets in an un happy frame of mind, a newsboy thrust into my hand a daily paper.whieh I mechanically bought. Glancing over tho columns, I ob served that a boat was advertised as about to start that day for Havana. The hour of departure was A iu tho afternoon. A sudden thought struck me. Would it not bo much better to embark for Cuba than to remain behind to be shot"? a result which tho state of my nerves and my want of practico with tlio pistol rendered altogether probable. Willi new-born alacrity, I immediately re paired to tho boat, and demanded to sco tlio agent Ho informed mo that tlio boat would positively ttart at tho hour indicated. I asked to sco the list of passengers. Ktitining my eyes casually down tho list, my heartbeat quickly as they fell upon tho last name. Could it bo possiblo that my op. ponent.Captain Achilles llrown, had secured passage ? What could bo his motive? "When did this gentleman book h's namo as a passenger?" I inquired. "Xot half an hour since." "Did ho understand that tho boat started to-day?" "Yes; ho made particular enquiries on that point." "Will you describo him to mo f Is ho tall?" "Yes, quite ao," "And has a black motistacho?" "Yes." "A dark coiiplexion and wears a largo cloak?", "Precisely. You know him, then ?" "Yery slightly," naid 1, carelessly. "Hy tho way, I don't think I shall be ablo to get awoy for week. I won't en gage to-day," "We would give you, good accommoda tions." "No doubt oi that. On tho whole, you need not mention to Cuptaiu Drown that auyono Inquired for liiin," tiik couiximAN, vol. X, NO. 2 COLVMMA DIlMOCltAT, VOL. XM, NU. 10 My heart bounded with exultation, as witli somo difficulty I realized that my op ponent, whom I had dreaded so much, was. about to leave the country from fear of en countering me. What n Joko that was I I laughed all tho way homo, though I endeavored to preserve my gravity. On the way homo I purchased a brace of pistols, which I ostentatiously displayed on reaching my boarding-houso. "To think you should risk your llfo for me," simpered tho fair Sophronia. "Miss Sophronia," said I, with suitablo fierceness, "no ono with Impunity shall in sult a lady while under my protection." During a portion of tho afternoon I prac ticed shooting at a mark, ami was never more lively that nt the tea table. Licutennnt Kustace, who was present, seemed consider ably surprised at tlio change in my demean or, and was evidently puzzled to account for it. After tea I invited tho company to wit ness my will, which I had drawn up far the sake of producing an impression. It proved a master stroke. I noticed that Lieutenant Kustace treated me witli increasing respect, while Sophronia repeated several times un der her breath, but loud enough for mo to hear, "brave man I" All this I enjoyed, and took tho opportu nity to severely discourso upon tho sacred ness of honor, in defense of which I nsserted that any man ought to be willing to lay down his life. In tlio course of tho afternoon I had the pleasure of witnessing the sailing of tho Ari el, with Captain Hrown onboard. Whether this circumstance had anything to do with inspiring in me theso elevated sentiments, I leave tho reader to judge. Tito next morning, ut an early hour, I pro ceeded to the field with my second. Captain Achilles llrown was nowhere to bo seen. I professed a great deal of disappointment and insisted on waiting three hours to allow him time to appear. All, however, testified to the remarkable courage which I displayed under the circumstances, and tendered their congratulations. Tho affair found its way into tho papers, and I found myself at onco elevated into a hero. I could not walk Broadway without being pointed out as the celebrated duelist. Among tho ladies, par ticularly, I becamo an object of great atten tiona circumstanco that may well excite surpriso wbeu it is considered that my only claims to their regard lay in my having been implicated in an affair which the moral sense of tho community condemns. Soon afterward I left my boarding place, to the great regret of the fair Sophronia. I aftcward learned that, had I shewn the white feather, it was arranged that Lieuten ant Kustace should force me into a marriage witli his cousin, on pain of a duel with him self. Tho extraordinary show of courage which I exhibited imposed upon him to such an extent that Uo did not think it advisable to ofier the alternative lest I should accept the duel. I have heard nothing of Captain Achilles Hrown sinco tho memorable day on which ho did me the servico to sail for Cuba. Had he possessed a little more courage I shudder to think what might have been the result. Tin: Two Wi:i!yn:i'.s. When Mr. Web ster visited Knglaud, after be had attained fame enough to precede him, an English gentleman took him one day to seo Lord Hrougham. Tho eminent Hriton received our Daniel with sucli coolness that ho was glad to get away and back to his rooms. The friend who had taken him at once returned to Lord Hrougham in haste and anger. "My lord, how could you behavo witli such unseemly rudeness and discourtesy to so great a lawyer and statesman? It was insulting to him and has filled me with mortification." "Why, what on earth havo I done, and whom havo I been rude to?" "To Daniel Webster, of the Senato of the United States." "Great Jupiter, what a blunder I I thought it was that fellow "Webster who made a dic tionary and nearly ruined tho English lan guage." Then the Great Chancellor quickly hunt ed up tho American Senator, and having other tastes in common besides law and pol itics, they made a royal night of it. iVi ior's Drawer in Ihirper's Muymine for June, Altitude Fascination. Jumping from points of elevation is a fashion of suicide. To stand on an elevated sito exercises a sin gular fascination over some people, leading them to jump into tho air. It causes others to perspire nnd tremble with fear. Last summer I talked with the guardian of the steeple of the Cathedral at Strasburg on this subject, and he informed me that few visi tors were frco from tho feeling of fright on reaching the first terrace, which is of great altitude, and that it was so pronounced as to generally prevent them from going any higher. Sometimes tho women fainted. I confess I was not frco from a vague dread in looking out over tho immenso reach of land capo which this view takes in, although thero was absolutely no danger, the terrace being securely guarded by strong iron rails. This man of the upper air tho guardian or guide informed me that tho summer before an Englishman had fainted, but deter mined to overcome his fright, nnd con tinued to ascend every day for a week, until ho could look out in the direction of tho Black Forest, from tho lantern, with equan imity. During tho summer a man had jumped into the air through nltitudo fascina tion. Uo was probably dead before reach ing tho ground, on account of tho Immenso height front which ho hurled himself. Formerly tho Ycndomo Column was the scene of so many deaths of this kind that a decreo was issued to provcut visitors from ascending it unless accompanied by a guar dian.
