Glances, sighs, soft tones on the part of the Maiden. , Byron, satire, and stuff and nonsense on the part of the Captain. , The Malden found the Captain hard to manage. ■ Xu 1 fact she totally failed to manage him as she had been accustomed to man age the others of his sex who dwelt in her universe, and she therefore became piqued. ‘Captain, pray let us return.’ But why, please ?’ returned the immo vable man of Mars ; ‘they are playing a waltz. You never dance that, you know. The thermometer is eighty degrees, if it is ten, in the hail, and there’s your shad ow,, the monstrous Major lying in wait for you. I can see him from where I sit. It is either the glow of his epaulette or the morning sun, I am not sure which. The fair Maiden sat down again and pouted; She did it without a thought, and for a moment of two was oblivions of the meaning of her own act. But sud denly It bioke upon her astonished sen ses that she bad surrendered to the wish: es of the captain for the fifth or sixth time! within twenty-four hours; a thing she had never been guilty of since the stern age of school mistress. She ques tioned herself. Was it love ? No. He was ’nice, had money, a grandfather, a position in, life, and a mustache—but no; it could not be love! If it was she must endure it. She was not to be snapped out of the glorious atmosphere of bclledom— at twenty years—no, no, not she. Bui she must subdue the Captain for the sake of her reputation. He must be taken down. Her rrc :iess thoughts reverted to a former conversation with the self same Captain,, in which he arraigned a comrade for dueling. That comrade was the self same Major of whom he had just spoked disrespectfully. Here would be a rare novelty. A duel about her. They needn’t hurt each other very much, of course; , if they only ‘pinked’ their individual opponents, it wouldn’t suit'very well. A sword thrust through tlie forearm, which no true man would mind ,very much, would be so de lightful. It would add so much foiher already wide-spread fame, and Iheu she would go farther still and marry the victor; that would soothe him a hun dred times over. She delicately and cheerfully laid her first parallel. . ‘Captain, please tell me, arn’t you.a fencer ?' ‘A little, a very little of a fencer.’ .‘Dear me, you always say ‘a t little,’ you play chess ‘a little,’,'you ridej'a little,’ you sing; *a little,’ you dance 'a little,’ you make negus 'a little/ and all the wide world knows that you do every thing in the moat splendid way; and now you fence ‘a little.’ No doubt you could .bring your man down at twelve paces easily-’ TTon confuse swords and pistols, as you will be likely to confuse your hu manities, If you allow yourself to speak of ‘bringing men down/ It doesn’t come well from Ups like yours.’ This was severe, and the Captain was not surprised to be instantly commanded to give his arm to lead the rufflled Prin ces back to her congenial waltzers. He did so and retired to the garden again— In love. It was no new state for him. . The val orous Captain had fallen weeks before— though no one knew it, and he was just beginning to discover it himself. For her part, she was the moat entrancing creature of the season; or any season.— Money he did not care for, though be bad a vague idea that she wanted for none ; but it was the never dying sparkle of her nluok and spirit that consumed him.— bhe was nearly always brilliant, active, keen'and alive to the present world, and she always dressed like a queen. The Captain loved taste and brilliancy, there fore be dreamed-of the divine Maiden, the diamond dust of whose, hair still powdered the sleeve of his coat. She, for her part, rested her languid eyes upon the tall Major, who instantly flew to her- He bowed and used his val iant heels to bring her flowers* her fan, her partners, for which he got smiles.— His military form-swelledwith pleasure, and he regarded no one else but the di vine Maiden, and the divine Maiden re garded no one else but him. She took bis arm and walked to and fro, ‘Ha!’ whispered the Captain to him self, ‘this is meant for me, as an offset to the confusion of humanities.’ He laugh ed, and began to have a scorn and con tempt for the Major, who smiled and chatted and was 1 happy. The Captain foresaw that tbe morrow would bring his turn, antfSt surely did. He. basked In the sunshine all the day. She was cool to the Major, who began to have a scorn and contempt for the favored man. The lovely maiden had a bosom friend, a minor star in her galaxy, In whose ear she privately whispered her intentions. TheMlnor Star screamed with delight— but added with a serious look i ‘But, my love, the Major Is a fire eater.’ ' ... . T •Indeed, he la a brave fellow. But 1 am sure the Captain would also eat'Are if he only had the chance. I'm infajjia ted with him, and—my darling—l do think that mountainous Major is a real booby!’ Hero; she dandled her fan. fingered her rings, looked complacently upon the folds of her dress, and calculated the ad ditional importance which would accrue to her for producing passions In the minds of men which would rise to tjie .fighting point. The Captain had domineered over her, ami the Captain, must pay. She loved the Captain, and w'mld marry the Cap tain, but the Captain must understand who be Is getting. He must understand her power; he should not bo allowed to ignore it. She would give this ope grand exhibition of her skill and mastery over the sterner sex, and then surrender to the Captain, covered with giory and ro mance. ‘But how?’ demanded the Minor Star, all aglow with the prospeot of a plot. Proprietor. IJaetital. A'FAMOUS DUEL. CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1871. ‘Easily, my love. You are not so ex port as your best Mend. Come and sit down.’ . 'She did; and between the lovely in genious two there was fomented a plot— the explosion of which shook society to its foundations, and laid the marrying .-pluck of many a hardy man in ashes. ; . In pursuance of it, the Major was again Installed in'the position: of first waitlng.- mnid-and was-regularly-sucoeoded on the following day, by the Captain, and. as a natural consequenoe/'the two resolved that unyielding hate must ever live be- tween them; <' 1 Now,, the Captain had two ways of looking at the affair—first, with the cal culating eye of a man of business, and second, with the eye of a society-man— tormented and angry at the insolence and airs of the sublime Major, who, when his star was in the ascendant, was an un endurable ass. Matters grew black. Eyes, whispers and music did it. ’ The face of Ibe fair Maiden slipped out of . the minds of the two men as a first consideration, and autagoi ism and rivalry crept in. It got to the pitch of high words, angry looks and polite slurs, and courteous insults, and the Maiden, with her single Minor Star, increased to half a dozen Minor Stars, looked on with high delight for the catastrophe. It came, precipitated by a pair of hor ses. Neither the Captain nor the Major had his own and they were obliged to. hire. The best at theirdisposal were (hose iOf a stabje-keeper. The Captain engaged them for the af ternoon, but the Major took them in ear ly morning, and drove with the fair Maiden, and kept her and the horses un til the beasts Were too tired for further use. The Captain grew irate. The Major laughed. Then the Captain grew satiri cal—his strong point—and then laughed, and the Major became furious in his turn. * Beauty was in raptures. Such a high sense of honor ! Such courage 1 • bat a splendid Captain I What an adorable Major I The Major received a delicate note that evening, which threw him into afeverof anger and excitement ‘My dear Major A : Pray be care: fui, .Captain.Z is terribly enraged. You' may receive a challenge if he is not merciful. Yours in anxiety. Blank.’ ‘Merciful I’ thundered the Major; ‘mer ciful I By heavens!’ And he sat down and dispatched a challenge within an hour. The Captain, smoking in his chamber, also received a note from the same mes senger, and rend It coolly. He then seiz ed the boy by the collar, shut ihe door, and took down'a cane, and by the furth er persuasion of money, the fact was de veloped that ho came from the Malden. ‘Hum 1’ said the Captain ; and fell Into a deep reverie. He accepted the challenge of the Major .and named swords, and stepped over per sonally to have an- ln conse quence of which they nameo rather a. singular plage of meeting. •We shall be alone, sir,’ said the Cap- tain.' ‘You may provide‘the surgeon, and \ve will go at four P. M., to-raoruW.’ The Major acceeded.andstraightwpy be gan to brush up his rapier exercise, with the help of two brave dragoons. The Captain had some little arrangements to perfect, which he did quietly. He pur suaded an intimate friend to invite the Malden ami two of her particular friends, whom be had noticed ae, being active in making ‘-the breech between the Major and him Self, to a picnic on the'following day, on the grounds of an old estate some miles out of town. He told his friend tho -reason, gave his strict directions,*and then .went to the house himself-and pitched open a long, darkened, unused, and unoccupied dining-room, with long, shuttered windows, as the place for his meeting with the Major on the morrow. He locked and bolted alt the doors— nailed up all the windows, and left but one'mode of egress or ingess to'the apart ment. He then returned,.flirted desperately with the Maiden, prostrated himself more deeply than before. Then he retired to smoke and to laugh, while the Malden and her companions grew a little more anxious at the curious stories floating about, and while the Major lunged and parried the livelong night before the mirror. : The next day the gallant (our started on their picnic. < And at three by the clock, three more Went secretly out by the rock way and ‘ reached the house. ® The faithful friend whispered to the Captain that all was arranged, and the men wentstraight to the dining room.— They passed in and the Captain looked the door’behind them, softly. It was somewhat dark, and the Captain threw open the shutters. The three ladleswere present in a corner. They all wondered and demanded explanations. Said the Captain, promptly. ‘The Major and myself have been in; duced to quarrel by a person now pres-'- ent. I wish this person now to see-the effects of her planning. No one dan leave. I have the only key in my pock et. Draw, Major!’ Bewilderment seized upon them, but the Major knew his opponent.and obey ed. A hundred thousand piercingsoreams arose to no effect. The Captain was resolute. They crossed and went at it. Both were angry, and both were good swords men. One of the Minor Stars fainted, but they kept on fiercely. The Major was unlucky and caughton the shoulder. They rested, and then went on. Another pink for the Major, and the blood flew pretty freely. They were besought to stop on all sides ; both refused. Only the, Malden, of the three ladles, was cognizant of the combat. She was pale, rigid and calm. . The Major fared worse; the other shoul der suffered, and.-then his:side. < .This ended him. He dropped his sword, and whispered, ‘quarter I’ The Captain then approached the Maiden, without his sword. ‘Maiden, you have,done a foolish thing, I have seen through it all. You were vain; I was weak. One of the instru ments with which you tried to gratify your desire for mischief is badly hurt, the > other, leaved you, trusting you will make.- better use in the future of your beauty, wit and heart-’ ' All this was gallant enough, and gal lantly was it taken by the bright girl who heard. The Captain went away i but in a year back he came, and did the sensible thing, and by no means an un lucky one, by the'lovely Maiden. "00 IT, BOBTAIL I” • The following is an old story, familiar with the steamboatmen on the Ohio and the Mississippi, but good euough to be retold occasionally, if It is old: A specimen of the genus ‘Hossler,’ was found by Captain , of the steamer . In the engine room of . his boat, while lying in Louisville, one flne morn ing. The captain inquired what he was doing therel . ‘Have you seen Captain Perry ?’ was the Interrogative response. ‘JDonit Know him, and can't tell what that has to do with your being in my engine room,’ replied the captain, an grily. ■ ‘Hold on, that’s what I was Just get ting at; You see Captain Perry asked me to take a drink, and so 1 did. I knew- that I wanted a drink or.l should not have been so dry—so captain and I went to the ball—Captain Perry was buttling, on some extra on one toe. X sung out, -‘Go in, Captain Perry, if you bust your bller. 1 . With that a mau l stops up to mBj ; Stranger, you must leave.’ Bays I,'What must I leave fur?) Says he,’You’re makln’ too.much noise.’ Says! li'lil've' beep , in , bigger crowds than this,and didn’t leavo nother. 1 With that he took me by the nap of the neck and the'seat o' my breeches—and I € ‘Ab I was shoved down the street I met a lady—X knew she was a lady by toe remark she made. Says she, ‘Young man, I reckon you’ll go home with me.’ Politeness would not lot me refuse; and 0.1 went.’ 1 had 1 hot'been in the house a minute, when I beard considerable knocking at- the , door. I knowed the chap wanted to get in, whoever he was, or. .he wouldn’t have kept up such a tremendous racket. By and by.saya a voloei .‘Ef you don’t open, I’ll bust In the .door.?-.And so. be did..l puL on a.bold face, and says I, ‘stranger, does this wo man belong to you ¥’ Says he, ‘she does, - ' ‘Then,’ said I, ‘she’s a lady I think, from what! have seen of her. ‘With that, he came" right at me .with a Bowie knife, in.one hand, and a pistol in the other, ahd, being a little pressed for room, I Jumped through the window, leaving the greater part of my, coat tail. As I was streaking it down town, with the fragments fluttering in the breeze, I m-1 a friend—l know he was a friend by the remark he made. He said, ‘Go it, bobtail, he’s gaining on you.’ And that’s the way I happened to be In your engine room. I’m a good swimmer, Captain; but do excuse me, if you please, from taking to the water again.’ MARK TWAIN ON JUVENILE PUGILISTS. •Yes, I’ve bad a good many lights in my time,’ said old John Parky, tenderly manipulating bis dismantled noseband It’s kind of queer too, for when I was a boy, the old man was always telling me better. He was a good man and bated lighting. When I would come hoihe with my nose bleeding, or with my face scratched up, be used to call me out in the Woodshed, and in a sorrowful and. discouraged way, say, ‘Bo Jhonny, you’ve had another light, hey ? How many times have I got to tell ye how disgrace ful and wicked It Is for boys to light? It was only yesterday that I talked to you on hour about the sin of lighting, and here you you’ve been at It again. Who was It with this time? Wilh Tommy Kelly, hey? ‘Don’t you know any bet ter than to fight a boy that weighs twen ty pounds more than you do, besides be ing two years older? Ain’t you got a spark of sense about ye?

The bell-ringer in the old cathedral of Wurtzburg lias perished under very sin gular dlrcumstauces. The church has a splendid clock, with ponderous and com plicated works, and a pendulum of pro portionate length vibrates to and fro with a dull ‘thud.’ Recently, the clock needed cleaning, and the ringer was deputed to superintend the work, though he ruefully endeavored to be, excused from the task. It seems that-ho never willingly went to the' belfry, from certain unpleasant as sociations. About'twenty years ago he bad killed bis predecessor in office, ac cusing him of carrying on a criminal intrigue with his wife. "When brought’ tp trial, he escaped the gallows, owing to 5 deficiency of legal proof. , The patronage of one of the canons bad then procured him the appointment va cant through the death of his victim ; hence,' it is said, rose bis superstitious dread In connection with the belfry, and which was supposed to be haunted by the ghost of the murdered ringer. On the morning when the clock was to be clean ed, it suddenly stopped, and the bell ringer was nowhere to be found. A workman from the town was sent for, and, on ascending the tower, he was hor rified to find the pendulum and lower works dripping with blood j and upon searching further, the body of the ringer was found entangled in the works, most frightfully mangled and crushed. One supposition Is, that be committed suicide by.climbing up the pendulum, and then pitching himself, into the middle of the machinery of the clock. But the wonder-loving gossips of the place, with a thorough German propen sity for the horrible, declare that the guilty man, upon reaching the gloomy chamber wherein the works revolve, was horror struck by the apparition of his murdered predecessor sitting astride of the great balance-wheel of the clock, and bad then been drawn into the works by a species of horrible and irresistible fasci nation, similar to that which the rattle snake is said to exercise over its prey.— There sat the spectre, rubbing his goary hands with hideous glee ns the victim was slowly drown in among the cogged wheels and ratchets of the machinery. An agonized yell, a crushing of bones, and all was still. A BHOST STORY. Lord Brougham told the’ following ghost story on his father : On ail such subjects my father was very skeptical. He was fond of telling a story in which he bad been an actor, and, as ho usod-to say, in which his,unbelieving obstinacy had been the means ofdemol ishing what would have been o very pretty ghost story. He had been dining in Dean’s Yard, ■Westminster,- with a party of young.men, one of whom was his most Intimate friend, Mr. Calmel. There was some talk about the death of a Mrs. Nightingale, who.bad recently died under 1 some melancholy oircumstrnces, and had been burled in the abbey. Some one offered to bet that no one of those present would go down in the grave and drive a nail Into the coffin. Mr. Calmel accepted tho wager, only stipulating that he might have a lantern. Ho was ac cordingly let into the cathedral by a'.door outofitbo cloisters, and there he was left to himself. 1 The party, after waiting an hour or more for Calmel, began to think some thing must have happened to him, and that he ought to be looked after; so my father and two or three more got a light and went down to the grave, at the bot tom of which lay tho apparently dead body of Mr, Calmel. He was transported to the prebend’s dining room, and recov ered out' of bis faintingfit.' As soon as be recovered bis tongue, be said; ' Well, I have won ray wager, and you'll And tho nail iu tho coffin; but, by Jove! the lady rose up, laid bold of mo, and pulled me, down before I could scramble .out. of the grave,’ Cal mol stuck to hie story in spite of all the scoffing of his friends; and .the ghost story would have been all over, the town but fo'r my father’s obstinate incredulity. Nothing would satisfy him but an occular inspection:of the grave .and cofllnpand.so,.getting ajiglvt, he and some of tho parly returned to the grave,. There, sure enough, was the noli, “well driven into the coffin; hut hard flxed by it was a bit of Air. Caimel’s coat tail! So there was an end Qf Mrs. Nightingale’s ghost! This grave afterwards became re markable for a very beautiful ,pipes of sculolure, by some celebrated artist, rep resenting ,Mr. Nighliugale yaiutly at tempting to ward from his dying wife the dart of death'. ■ MATRIMUNV UNDER DIFFICULTIES. There la a part of the world (in Central Asia) whore marriages are made on horse baoki A day is set when the young men who are in want of wives assemble, and the jtoung lady who is to be disposed of Is there with a good horse. She has her preferences, ns young ladles do in other parts,of the World, and gives a signal to the youth she wishes to capture, so that ho may know how to ride In order to distance his competitors. She is better mounted than any of her pursuers, and can generally manage things so that she can he picked up by the youth she has selected. But if a fellow that she con siders a flat Is likely to overtake her, she digs the spurs into her horse and leaves the entire crowd. The race is then de clared “ off,” and another day is sot for the trial of speed. Sometimes, when her papa wants to get rid of the girl at ail hazards, he puts her on a horse that could not outrun a turtle, and thus makes it certain that soprebody will capture her. There is yet another part of the world where ayonng man‘must take bis bride froEm a houseful of old women, who are armed with whips, and have their finger nails specially sharpened for the occasion. They surround the bride, and fight the individual who wants to take her away. Ho may.puah them aside, but he must not Introduce the practice of the prize ring, and allow their faces to come in contact, with, his fists. Frequently he emerges from the fray with his clothes pretty well torn from his body, while his face and his whole skin have so many marks of whips and finger-nails as to re semble a piece of calico of a fancy pattern ■ For the sake of the timid youth of the. United States; It is to be hoped that this marriajge.oeremonywlll not become faahr ionable here.' ■ A friend of mine, who once lived in lowa, used to tell a story of a wedding that he witnessed, where the ceremony was performed on the bame couple three times in one night. He was wandering through Northern lowa and Southern Minnesota, on a search for timber lands, and was accompanied by a backwoods adventurer named Preston. Near the line between lowa and Minnesota they stop ped a few weeks at the house of a settler named Jenkins. The latter bad a buxom daughter, and was well off for,a back woodsman, and the situation appeared decidedly favorable to Preston. So he courted the daughter, and. was polite to the parents; the result was, that a wed ding was arranged, and all the neighbors for tep miles around were invited. -- Jenkins was a liberal provider, and weddings were not very frequent in his family. He laid In hall a barrel of whis key, and his wife and daughter cooked enough for a small army, so that nobody should go away hungry. There was a preacher in the neighborhood, who had arrived there recently, and ho waainvlted to unite tire pair. He tied the knot, and , was rewarded by Preston, who made a mess of the aflairby dropping a couple of silver dollars into the punch howl while trying to hand them to the parson. The bride’s arm was called into requisi tion to lift out the cash, which she did with all the skill of a native of Long Island fishing for “Blue Points” with a pair of oyster tongs. For the invited guests the serious busi ness of the evening began with tho slipper that followed the wedding ceremony.— Preston took his full share of punch and straight whiskey before retiring to the bridal chamber, which was reached by a ladder through the floor of the garret!. Mrs. Preston had been taken there by the bridesmaids half, an hour earlier, and as soon as the couple had disappeared there was a fresh assault upon the Whiskey. It leaked out in the course of the eveu ing that the parson was not an ordained preacher, but only one of those ministe rial Hedgings who have been “licensed to exhort.” When old Jenkins heard the rumor, he went for the exhorter and extracted from him the horrible fast that he was not really, authorized to unite couples in holy matrimony, but he had officiated on this occasion because he had thought it wrs all right, and that nobody would know the difference. Jenkins flew around like a boy with a bumble bee in the leg of bis trousers; he kicked the un happy exhorter out of doors, and went up the ladder like a monkey climbing a window-blind. ‘Here you, git up ! git UP I’ he shout ed ; ‘ you ain’t married at all. Git up this minute. Git rightup and come down quick I’ The voice of Preston was now heard to drawi out that he wouldn’t get up, and that if his respected father-in-law did not clear out and mind bis business he would get bis nose busted. ... Jenkins explained the situation, and the couple arose. In a few minutes they came down the ladder, both, looking very sheepish, and the bride blushing like a red wagon, There,.yas a justice of the peace in the party, and he performed the ceremony; Which, unfortunately for Mr. Preston, tank his only remaining silver dollar. There were more drinks, and then the couple again ascended the ladder to their bridal apartments. Preston mut tered, as he climbed theHadder. that if be ever found that parson be would hurt his face, so that bis friends could not identfy him without a magnifying glass. Of course the party down stairs,‘Who were making a night of it, talked over the peculiarities of the. wedding, and their talk developed tbefact that* the justice of the peace lived in Iowa; while the house of Jenkins was in Minnesota. Jenkins, was informed of the situation, and away be went’ once more for the ladder. He was louder in bis tones than before, and his first words met a prompt answer from Preston,. .. ‘Now, look here, old man,’ said Preston, as he bounded out of bed; ‘ there’s’bAen fooling enough around this yere ladder to-night, and if you don’t git I’ll bust yor head.’ He picked up a cow-hide boot as he spoke, and advanced menacingly. A shrill voice from the bed urged him not. to hurt ‘pa.’ ‘Don’t shoot, drntl’ said Jenkins, as hs retreated down the ladder, till, his head was level with the garret floor. • There ho paused and explained the new state of affairs to the enraged bridegroom, who stood over him with the boot uplifted, and ready for a blow. ’ . * Preston accepted the explanation, and the resujt was that the couple rose and dressed and descended the ladder. Then, with Mr. and Mrs, Jenkins, add all of the guests who were sober enough to stand, they walked halfa mile down the road to the lowa line, and entered the Badger State. There the Justice again united them. ‘And this, time,’ says he, as he concluded the ceremony, ‘you.aro marriedsarlln, sure !’• During the entire war but one act of sacrilege was committed on the tomb of Washington. ’ One soldier, wishing to connect his name with that of the illus trious dead, etched bis Ignoble initials on the sareopeagus of Washington by means of some sharp instrument which-he iu troduced through the grating.
