During he las week.we have all been looking in with loathing and consternation. We have stood [n thu chamber.whose walls were bespa ered with blood, and huve seen the bt icrend of a career which cast oft ihc sweet restraints of domestic purity for the polluting caress of ihc ’Strange woman.’ We nave seen a remarkable cluster gathered around that corpse, amid hysterical tears and ill limed merriment- We have seen the unblushing courlcztn tes tifying against the ‘man of pleasure’ who had ' flung her aside for other spoil : the officer of justice swearing id scenes of Urod and bitter ness m a hoove where Ood’slaw of marriage had been trampled under foot: and amid such surroundings wu can descry someyc fresh from the family altar of a rural home.

Then her took his po sition, offering the other end of a silic hand kerchief, and at tho same time drawing from tys belt a bowie-knife, declared himself ready, and requested a bystander to give the word.— The spectators panic-struck at the desperation of the men. crowded hack to the wall without offering the least opposition to the mnrdemus fight, and scarcely a whisp«r was heard in the house. The combatants stood waiting for the word, booking steadily in each other’s eves, and apparently without the quivering of a nerve The word was given, and the gambler's pistol snipped ! At the same time his ontogonist struck a f. arful blow nt his neck, which would have severed his head from his shoulders had not sonic one touched Ids elbow and diverted the knife, which pns-ed over the gambler's shoulder, and cut a dreadful gash in his hack. At this moment »h«- linkers on having recover ed from their snrprUe, sprang forward and sep arated the men, and ended the fight. ‘Think for a moment, of the courage requir |cd for an individual armed with a knife only.
