Their efforts can bo BENEFICIAL ONLY In all cases of the biliary system Hoofland’a Gorman Litters stand wlihoutan equal, acting promptly ami vigorously upon the .mvor, they loniove its torpidity ami cause healthful secre tion of bile—thereby supplying the stomach with the most indispensable elements of sound digestion in proper proportions.

In a word, there is scarcely a disease in which they cannot bo safely and beneficially employed ; hut In that most generally pi e valent distressing and dread ed disease, Dyspepsia, THEY STAND UNRIVALED. Now, there are certain classes ot persons to whom extreme Bitters are not only unpalata ble, but who Hud It impossible to take them without positive discomfort.

No.vfllco of any living thing Is near, Have thinvlld sea-bird’s wall; That seems the cry of sorrpw jleep and drear. Now in Uk air with broad, while wing they sail, And now descending, dot the tawny, pand. Now rest upon the waves, yet still thy wall Of bitter sorrow floats towards the land, Like grief which change of scone Is powerless to command. The sea approaches with Its weary heart Moaning unqnletly; An earnest grief too tranquil to depart, Speaks in that troubled sigh ; Yet. Its glad waves seem dancing merrily ! F- r bone from them conceals the warning tone Gaily they rush toward the shore—to die. Ail their hrlghtspray upon the bare sand thrown While still around them walls tuesndaud cease less moan. And thus it. Is In Mfo. and In the breast Gay sparkling hones arise. Each one In (nrn Just shows Ils gleaming crest, Then f 1 s away and dies; On life’s bare sands each cherished vision lies. Numbered with those that will return no more; Their early love—youth’s deadly cherished lies— Bright dreamsof fume, lie perished on the shore, While the worn heart laments what gr.lcf can ne’er restore. Yet still the broken waves, retiring, strive Again their crests to rear, Seeking In sparkling beauty to revive As In their first career; They strive In vain—their lustre bright and clear Forcsukcs them now, with earth , all dim and stained; And thus the heart would rise its visions dear* And shape them now from fragments that re mained; But finds their brightness gone, by earth’s cold touch profaned. Long have I lingered here, the evening fair In robe of mist draws nigh. The sinking sea sighs forth Its sad despair More and more distantly ; Hushed is the sea-bird’s melancholy cry. For night approaches with the step of age, When youth’s sharp griefs are softened to a sigh, A nd the dim eye afar beholds the page That holds the records sad of sorrow’s former rag*. And nature answers fny complaining woo With her own quiet loro. Bids me observe the mist ascending slow From the deserted shore. And learn that, scatte&d and' defiled no more, The fallen waves are wafted to the skies; That thus the hopes that I bitterly deplore. Though fust they fall before my aching eyes, Fall but In tears on earth to Heaven to rise.

Jl"' va. decayed Spanish nt bleruan, Bon Mosen Chavarri by name, and one thing notice ab‘e abort him was hie persistency in endeavoring to obtain au audience of the Emperor. Foiled in every attempt, either through accident or the suspicions of the attendants, he invariably received his rebuffs in silence and withdrew —merely to renew bis - importunities. Repulsed to-day, to-morrow found him at his post. He Imunted the palace'like a spectre,and even the gamin soon grew familiar with the story of hia hopeless quest, and hd* began to be treate'd with that sort of pit iful consideration which is usually ac corded to those of unsound mind. At length, however, there came a day, when, in the Rue de Rivoll, as (.he Em perwr was returning from a review, a pisto-.shot rang out from the corner of the court, and .the bullet, whistling thro’ the line of outriders, buried Itself in, a panel of the imperial carriage. The police at once charged the crowd, and among the number arrested was our friend the Spaniard. At the trial, there being no evidence against him, he was acquitted, but was warned to Instantly Ifave Paris. Acting upon the warning, be disappeared, and for a time all traces of him were lost. It was some two years after this occur rence that there began to circulate among the quirtnunccs of the capital reports of a marvelous clock lo be. seen in that city, which illustrated, by means of automatic figures, an episode in the life of the Em peror, and was designed for presentation to that personage. It wuh said to be the work of a famous artisan, wno had lately arrived, incogni to. from foreign parts, accompanied by a young Judy, ids daughter, who m a sup posed lit of eccentricity had taken her lodgings in an humble and obscure quar ter of the Faubourg St. Antoine. The report of the wonderful, almost super natural performances o( this little piece of mechanism, nnd the mystery which Htirr unded its owih/r and Inventor, gave rise fora short time and In cerium cir cles to no small amount of gossip Tills gradualh died away, and the ar tisan and ilia clock were alike forgotten, when an event occurred which restored them to more than their former promi nence, and entitled them to a place in history. Fouche, one morning in tils odice, re ceived a letter from hia secret agent in Bpain, which contained information of a most startling and important character. Its perusal thre v him into a state of very unusual excitement, and its result was an immediate descent of the police upon the imalerious shop in the Faubourg St. A ntoine, with orders to arrest the artisau and his daughter, secure the premises, and carefully guard all the stock, tools, implements ami other contents from be ing touched or displaced till further op portunity offered for a thorough Investi gation. The partv detailed for duty having departed, Foucho reseated h’mseif and wnit'-d. svith ill-concealed anxiety, the arrival uf tno prisoners. After a considerable lapse of time, the officer charged with the "Treel appeared empty handed, and his report, was snou made.

Ipoctical A CLOCK WONDER. CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, ,1871 Fouche reflected a moment, when his face suddenly whitened Withouta word bedashed down the stairway to the street and sprung into a passing fiacre. ' *To the Tuilories!’ he shouted. ‘Dou ble washes for double speed !’ Arrived at the palace he hastily alight* ed, am! demanded to be at once shown into tie presence of the Jihnperor. Na poleon was in the boudoir in which he frecjuently'recoived private visitors, and thither the ushers instantly conducted Fouche, who, encountering some delay in the’anto room; impatiently pushed open the folding doors and entered ona nouucod:- The Emperor greeted the at 11 rat with au ominous frown o: displeasure, but instantly recognizing hie,visitor, resumed hia customary ex pression, and nodded affably. ' Fouche tOiK in the situation at a single glance. * . . . “Resides Napoleon there wqjrp live per ■ ••scms-hr-t h e-roorm—Foo r-*o£—th officials of the palace—chamberlains ami armed valets —who frequently attended when he gave audience, to prevent any attempt at private assassination. The fifth was a man habited in a common workman’** biouse, standing apart from the others, in a respectful attitude, and holding in Ills hand a workman's red fez cap- It needed but a glance to assure Fouche that this person was none other, than the old familiar goblin of thoTuil eries—Don Mosen Chavarri. Dut how metamorphosed! His hair, formerly gray, was dyed to a glossy blackness; his face wasdespolled of its moustache and point* ed beard, and- his once smooth hands were roughened as though by exposure and toil. At his “ido stood a large lacquer table, supporting an object upon which Fouclie’s attention was immediately Us ed, This was seen at once.to be an exact model of the church of Notre Dame, wrought in metal, in the highest style of art, and serving evidently as,the case for acloek.sliicejust above the foUiing doors, which were perfect imitations of those which barred the principal entrance In Noire Dame, where two dials,-on one of which the hours and minutes were mea sured,while on theother a >ong sweeping hai*d marked the seconds. Fouche, by n natural impulse, noticed tne time in dicated by the dials. It lucked but a few minutes of noon. Immediately thereafter ho atarted with a nervous alarm oh the clock gave out a warning note us though about to strike —then suddenly there was a clank of compicatcd machinery, and the great doors folded slowly in ward, exposing the whnle.nf the gorgeous interior to view. ■ The mimic church was decorated as though for some great lute. Banners and hanging'* of the richest material and most costly workmanship' fluttered from the ceilings ami flaunted from the niches in the walls. The aisles were carpeted with tapestry and velvet, and life pillars were clustered with gold and blazing with gems. On the opposite sides of the great nave two thrones were erected, the one being approached by a flight of velvet covered .steps and canop ed with cloth of gold and scarlet voiyet-sprinkled with golden bee*. ' And now tho great bell in the tower struck one with a heavy, reverberating clang, there arose a swell of triumphal music, ami a mimic procession, dud In gorgeous robes, moved into view from one of the hidden aisles. At the head of this cortege walked an old man wearing a triple crown, who, as the bell lolled for the second time, ascended the steps of the smaller throne. It was the ceremony of the coronation performed by autamalons. Napoleon looked on with unusual in terest. ‘Confess, Fouche,’ said he, ‘that this is as admirable in its way as is the police system of Paris. There is one mistake, however,’ ho continued. ‘The great doors oi Notre Dame were not open on that occasion. The throne was built d M ■ them, and the only entrance was t .ough tho transverse halls;’ ‘True, sire,’ said tho fictitious artisan, casting a side glance at Fouche, whose name lie had just heard pronounced.-- ‘True, but your majesty will see that it is a mistake unavoidable here. Like the rest of the world, we have been obliged to sacrifice truth in order to secure ef fect.' The Emperor smiled and remained si lent. Meanwhile, Foncho was revolving a dilemma in ids mind with tbe rapidity of one accustomed (o act in dangerous crises. There are situations In which a slight vantage in the bands of a danger ous man may set at naught the strength of thousands, and in which the most ex (raordinary means must be employed to secure what are apparently trifling re sults. Fouoho adopted the course which seemed at firct most speedibly practica ble, since tbe consideration of first im portance was in this instance time. ‘Your Majesty, * said lie, advancing, ami speaking tepidly. ‘ may I reques your immediate attendance in your catti net to a mutter of tbe ufinest consequence —a matter which wifi not admit of a moment’s delay.’ Tito Emperor turned in surprise,and frowned. Chavarrl looked up sullenly and silently, and made a very auspicious movement toward his clock. With the rapidity ol thought Foucho changed hU plans. ‘Your Majesty.’ said he, more loudly and rapidly than before, ‘the Indy laid re Ohavarri has just been arrested near tbe Cemetery of Montmnrto, charged with a capital crime. She has already been Mied by a special tribunal and condemned to death. I come to implore your Majesty to grant her pardon.’ As bo spoke lie fixed a painful search ing gaze upon the Spaniard. This time tbe bolt bad struck. The old man’s lawny face was taking on a sickly hue ami bis knees trembled. ‘This is'a most unusual said the Emperor, in amazement. ‘Who is this lady,*and what is tbe nature of her crime?' Fouclu*. bent double with suspense, still keeping Ins eye riveted upon the tawny, changing face, spoke almost im ploringly. ‘You have trusted me before, sire. . I beseech you to trust me now Aak me no questions, bui write the pardon— quickly.’ There was au instant of silence, broken only by the ticking, and low, fair music of the clock. The second hand was mea suring off the sixtieth minute, with rapid and steady sweep. Almost unconsciously Fouche drew a ‘pistol from hia pocket, cocked it unobserved, and with a face as that of a corpse*, was raising himself to Are—with a cry to tbe Emperor on hia I,pa— when Cbavarri, whoso mind seem ed torn by contending emotions, bent suddenly over bis mechanism, touched a spring concealed in the rear of tbo lower, ami Instantly tbe whole complicated ma chinery of the clock stopped witli a sud den metallic dang. Tbe music Ceased, the automatons paused, standing like statues, each in his place, the mimic Emperor stretching out his band for tbe crown of tbe Ctcsars, ami tbe great bell 'in (!••* tower i oised midway in its swing . r the twelfth and final stroke. ‘Parbleu I’ muttered Foucbe, pocketing the pistol, uml wiping the prespiratiou from his brow. ‘Allow me, Monsieur,’ ho said, advancing to the table; ‘let me inspect this wonderful specimen of art.’ ‘it is ho delicate. Monsieur,’ said Cha varrl, hurriedly, still keeping his linger on the secret spring and waving Fouche oil'with his unengaged baud. ‘Here is the pardon,’ said the TSmperor, affixing hid signature to a paper as he spoke. ‘I hold you, Fouche, responsible for results. Well, what next?’ ~ *6ur worthy friend’s clock Is broken, it appears,’ said Fouche, awkwardly. ‘Broken, sire*’said the Spaniard, ‘and with it the plans of a lifetime!’ And, he added, casting down bin eyes, ami speak ing In a querulous broken voice, ‘since, when one’s hopes are broken, one cares .but little where he goes, I wish a pass* port to leave Franco.’ Fouche took up the cue Immediately. •I have to request, sire,’ said he, ‘that you also make out a full and free pardon for the Accomplice of tho Lady Isidore CUavarri —her father, Don Mosen Cha vuri, of Seville.’ ’ The Emperor smiled Bitterly, His ac ifvo r’md lmd"a'lrea(]y compassed the situation, and without a word, either of expostulation or iuqu-ry he seized »■ peu ami wrote. Then, having finished and signed the double pardon, he advanced with it in Ids blind. * ‘Our friend here,’ said ho, ‘doubtless knows where these parties are to be found and to him I confide these paper?.’ Tho old man, still jealously keeping his hand ou t!i6 spring of mechanism, read aloud : ‘A full permission lo Dou Aloaen and Donna Isidore Chevarri to Teavo Fra-nco immediately,.without hindrance or ques tion. ’ • . ■ * ‘Add,’ said he, ‘and alive.’ ‘You would have made 5 good diplo mat, 1 'said Napoleon, as ho made the re^ Tralrerl ad dftioit: ; - moved his hand lingeringly from ■ the spring, and bowing his head, glided to wards the door. Just upon tho threshold he turned in sudden dismay. ‘Where shall I find my daughter?’ asked Clmvurrl. ‘When she is found wo will send Mon sieur word,’ sneered Fouche- An expression of the most intense ma lignity flashed across.the old man’s face, and with an oath he sprang back toward the table in the room. But. a pistol con fronted him. ‘These pardons are forfeited!’ crier Fouche. •No,’ said the Emperor, Met him pass.* (hmvarri. with a look of wonder, wheel ed slnwtv about ami disappeared.. After his departure Napo'eon stood for a short time in the centre of the apart* ment Inst in a profound reverie. Then, as his gnze fell upon the clock and (he automaton standing beneath tin* suspended crown within, he bent forward and regarded the figure attentively. •So.’ he said, ‘tills was to have been iny successor.* Tt is scarcely necessary to add that the .clock proved, on examination, to be an infernaf machine-of the moat ingenious and deadly . description. Concealed be neath the metallic slab, which .formed Ctie navements of tho mimic chapel, and which was constructed to fold back at the proper moment, was found a triple row of small wrought iron barrels, load eu heavily with slug? ami balls, and.ar ranged to caver an area of forty-five de grees. at a distance of twenty yards from the.machine ; no tine within that range could possibly have, withstood their dia charge, exploded simultaneously, exactly when tho hands on the dial indicated the hour of noon; but a spring on the outside l of the case gave, the manipulator power to alter the 'sot’ of the works, and dis charge them sooner if necessary. A few mouths after the ocoimence of the incident narrated übotfe, Fouche re ceived a letter from (Jlmvarri, then In. England, written in the vein in which men. who have played a desperate game and lost, occasionally write to those who* have outwitted them* The writer staled that the clock was entirely the work of Ids aiwii hands, and that he and bin dabgltlor alone were concerned in the plot, which had been frustrated by Fetiche's promptness. Ah for himself, he hail little expectation of escaping, having freely resolved to in volve himself, if necessary, in tho de af ruction which should overwhelm the Emperor. His daughter, however, the only person on earth for whom ho retain-’ ed any affection, be cmila not afford thus to sacrifice. He bad, made provision elsewhere for her future support, and ac cording to the original plan, she was to, have left Paris some thirty days before tho consummation of tho plot, thus hav ing abundant time to, pass the frontier and reach a place of safety. This had been foiled by an unforseen ©vent. On the evening before the final fiasco at tho Tuileries they had received information to the effect that Napoleon was on the point of departurd for the frontier, and everything being in readiness, and the period of - his return lining uncertain, it was determined to make the attempt at once. On the following morning accord ingly, the daughter had departed at as early an hour as possible, trusting for her escape to good fortune, ami he, himaelf» fortified with letters from prominent of ficials, hud proceeded to the palace at eleven, havinggiven his daughter all the time it was pos-iblo to spare. Fouche himself knew the rest. No personal danger; no promised boo or, nothing, in short, but tbe cunningly devised falsehood regarding his daughter, could have induced him,. Cbavarri,, to stop the hands of tiie fatal cluck. ' • He also.confessed that it was he who, two years before, bad fired tbe allot in the Rue du Rivoli, and stated that it had long been the sole aim and purpose ot his'life-to assassinate Napoleon. Ho ad-' ded, however, that they need have no fear of hia repeating the attempt, ns the magnanimity of tbe Emperor on the last occasion'had completely disarmed him. (Jluwarri subsequently died in extreme poverty in London! Of tbo after .fate of his daughter nothing is known. His clock, despoiled of the murderous portion of Hh machinery, was preserved lor s«v r oral years in IbeTuileries, and was Anally destioyed by an accidental fire and tbo falling of a wall. A Had Little Story.—A very curious incident, illustrative of the power which can lie exercised overtbeanimal creation by kindness and careful training, occur red bur a few days aim at Scotlsvllle, in Kentucky. The sister of officer Harry Mansfield, of this city, hsd raised a fine mocking bird, which she taught to go and come at her call, and in return for all the kindness bestowed upon it, if'ex hihited a peculiar fondneak for iier. Last Monday' Miss Mansfield was taken ill, and, to while away the tediu m of the sick mom. she had the little pet'brought to her bedside and day and night it cheered lier with its sweet’ carols, bringing to mind many happy thoughts of field and meadow, sunshine and song. As her illness grew more alarming, anti day af ter day brought no relief from suffering, the warbling of the little s mgster rather served to annoy than plemo her, and so, turning on her pillow, she said to him, TJirdie, you worry me.’ Strange to say, the words seemed to ho understood, for immediately the song was hushed, and the bird retired within itself as it were. Ou the next day tho Jady diet!, leaving, ii would seem, a command of silence upon the bird, which will never be broken, for, although several days have elapsed since, and every effort lias been made to Induce blur losing, he refuses to respond with song to anv lips hut those of his once Banner* Irish Bulls.— The Irish, rightly or wrongly, get the credit for almost all the bulls that go the round of the papers. It was an Irishman who wanted to find a place where there was no death, that he might go and end his days there. It was an Irish editor that exclaimed, when speaking of Ireland, ‘Her cup of misery bus been forages overflowing and is not yet full. 1 It was an Irish newspaper that s;,ld of Robespierre, that ‘he loft no chfl-. dren behind him, except a brother, who whs killed at the same time.’ It was an Irish coroner who, when asked how be accounted for an extraordinary mortality in Line rink, replied, easily,—‘l cannot tell. There are people dvlng this year who never died before.’ It was an Irish hiuolhill that announced with boundless liberality* in reference to a great political demonstration in the Rotunda, that tire t Ladies, without distinction of sex, would b,. welcome.’ Sir Boyle Roche, said, ‘Single misfortunes never come alone, and the greatest of all possible mlsfor tun/?* if generally followed by one great <»r.’ An eminent spirit merchant In lire city of Dublin, announces, in an Irish paper, ttiat ho has still u small quantity of the whisky on hand which was drunk by George IV., when iu Dublin,— Every Saturday, “GO FEEL WHAT I HAVE FELT.

That's whut it is ; and Its no new thing under the sun. It has been pre sented in a great variety of forms by ail the authors of children's primers— from Mother Goose to Edward Lear. For In stance. wltrfess the following ancient ex position of it “The monkey married the baboon's sister, Hmacked his lips, and then he klsscu her, Kissed so hard he raised a blister— She sot up a yell.” This Is a touching incident in tho beau tiful processor transition from worm to Wallace—from dirt to Darwin. The in termarriage between correlated families; the reciprocal attachment so Interesting to the thoughtful mind; the pathetic preliminary of osculation; tbecu'ioular accident of vesclcation; his fervency; h r coy affectation of displeasure—all point with unerring linger to the mysterious origin and solemn destiny of man.— Again, observe the continuance of this resemblance, as shown la the same fam ilar poem: “bridegroom stuck on some court plaster stuck so fast it couldn’t slick faster ; 0, it was a sad dlHaster— Hut It soon got well.” Here you are again. These be human passions, affections, afflictions. We see the praiseworthy solicitude of the bride groom ; the faithful constancy of the court plaster, and behind all, cunningly suggested rather than stated, the uncom plaining patience of the young wife. Then the slow recovery. But we must not linger: “What d’yo think th e bride wna drest In? White gauze veil and urcen glass breastpin; She did look quite Interestin’; She was quite a belie." - Tbe scene is changed. The cohesive ! emolient has been removed from the sa luted lip. The bride, though of Simian origin, betrays the divine symbol of her sex—the taste for decoration'. She robes her lovely form In transparent gossaraar, revealing by concealing. She omimenU her undulating bust with sapphire gaud —just the way they do now. Is It not sufficiently obvious that tbe author of this understood the great principle of natural selection and the survival of the fightist, as it is how einlained Dar win, Huxley and the rest? But, oh arriving at the blunt termina tion of the affecting stanzas, it occurred to us that they sero. incomplete—that they wore, as U wen, rudimentary—so we handed them over to our ingenuous office boy to finish according to the evo lution theory. He pulled up hie shirt collar, rolled up his eyes and his sleeves, spasmodically seized a sheet of paper and wended his winding way along after the following fashion ; What, d’ yon think occurred soon nrtor? First a son and then a darter; And thov kept a prowin’ smarter ’Cordin to the law. Lost thelr’talla and found their knowledge; Put on clothes and went to college; Studied science and zoolldge— Wagged a classic Jaw, , One remembered his “poor relation','' Then lie printed n narration, All about his derivation From his grandmamma. Thus much the bov. Then ho fainted dead away, like Prof. John Tyndall. F. R S. ; when he surmounted the highest peak of the Matterhorn. We dragged the youth to the sink and sprinkled him with the wafer the “ forma’’ had bathed In, and he sadly opened his eyes. ‘How are you ?’ said we, to which vehemently the lad replied: ‘Walter Whitman aln’i no poet. He never caught nothin’ from the Muses ’cept tho St. Vitus’s dance.’— We let him warble on, seeing that his mind was wandering; But here are our subsequent meditations: ‘Darwin 'is right. Tbe hook of nature is now per spicuous. We are what we are, because tbe monkey married tbe bahhou’s sister. ’ The Wives of Great Men. —In one of.the towns of Michigan, resides a legal gentleman of fine abilities, an eloquent talker, a thorough lawyer, and a good fellow generally ; but he tipleth too fre quently, and this habit has retarded his advancement. His party frequently promised him a position, but the poor man’s fallings hod as frequently render ed it inexpedient just at that time Fi nally the time came when the congres sional nomination was within his grasp. He hod a wife. She too wished to go .to Washington. Other representatives took their spouses to the capital. , ‘You expect to go, dear, don’t you V A‘Yea.* ‘And do as other Congressmen do?’ ‘Yes.’ gruffly. ‘Well, as other Congressmen take their ives, you’ll take me.’ ‘I don’t care, you can go.’ ‘But dear, you know I’ve never been there, nor never been out much. How do you think I’ll appear among other great men’s wives.’ * ‘Pearwellenoughl’ ‘pear well enough!’ replied Robert, beginning to get a little riled. ‘All great men have confounded fools for wives!’ Unlortunately for Robert, the people did not see in Robert the Representative tire exigencies the times demanded, and elected the other man. But what an atrocious sentiment Robert uttered! Moral Character.— No young man can hope to rise In society, or perform worthily his part In life, without a fair moral character. The basis of such a character is a virtuous, fixed sense of moral obligation, sustained and invigor ated by the fear and love of God. The youth who possesses such a character can be Crusted. Integrity, justice, truth, benevolence, are not with him worda without meaning ; be feels and knows their sacred import, and aims in the tenor of his life to exemplify the great, virtues they express. tiuoh a man has decision of character; he knows what is right, and is firm in pursuing it: and be thinks and acts for himself. Such u man lias true worth of character; Ills Hie is a blessing to himself, to his family, to sa tiety, and to the world* YOL. 58.—N0. 23. ANDREW JACKSON'S DUEL WITH CHAS. DICKINSON We find iu a southern exchange the ! following account of a duel fought by Gen. Jackson with Charles Dickinson. It took place May 30, IbOO. at Harrison’s Mills, on Red river, in Logan county, Kentucky: The place of combat was a long day’s ride from Nashville, and the duelists were consequently obliged to start,twen ty-four hours previous. Dickinson, be side his second, was acoompainea on the fatal Journey by a number of gay companions, who went out to see the meeting and appeared to have cherished the utmost confidence in the prowess, of their friend. Tradition states that when* ever the party stopped for refreshments, Dickinson displayed his skill with his weapon Ijy shooting at a mark, and so wonderfully-accurate was his aim thatat the word of* command he put Tour balls into a space cbve'red by a dollar, twenty be repeatedly cut a email string suspen ded from a bough, and left it behind, ' witb iustructlon to the tavern keeper to show it to Gen, Jackson if be came that way. It is also said that he bet $5OO he wuuld hit his enemy within a half inch of a certain button on bis coat. Both were conscious that It was indeed to he a life and death affair, and they stuuied the eituatiou accordingly. Their delib erations resulted in Jackson’s determi nation to lei Dickinson have the first fire and take his chances for the second. He felt perfectly confident that Dickinson would hit him, and equally confident that he would hit Dickinson. ‘I should have hit him,’ said this iron man lung afterward, ‘if ho hud shot me in the brain. The two parties passed the night at dif ferent cablnß.oc the bank of the river— and Jackson Is reported to have taken a beany supper, smoked his usual pipe and indulged In cheerful conversation previous to retiring Next morning be fore breakfast, Jackson and his friends were in the saddle, and fording the shal low stream, proceeded to the appointed spot—a level piece of river bottom in the ■ bosom of a forest of poplar trees. Dick inson was equally prompt; nd after ex changing the salu taiioas business went ou at once. The grou id Was measured, pegs driven, and men placed, the pistols loaded, and all was ready but the word., The giving of this had been wou by Overton, and he shouted it out with the strong old country accent —“Fire!" — Dickinson raised his pistol quickly and fired on the instant.. The dual flew from the brea*t of the loose-fitting frock wbicb Jackson wore, ami he was seen to place his left arm with a tight grip across Pis cheat; but .he neither staggered nor turned pule. Dickinson, amazed at the sight of his foe, still erect and apparent ly untouched, fell back a pace or two and exclaimed: ‘‘Great God! have I missed him?” “ Back to the mark, sir I” said Overton, with his hand on his pistol.— Dickinson resumed his place, and stood firmly waiting the result. Jackson raised his weapon, took deliberate aim, and pulled the trigger. It stopped at half cock. He cocked again, agaiu aimed as deilbe* ately as before, aud this time the ringing crack followed, and Dickinson, reeling toward the ground, whs caught by his friends and supported against a clump of underbrush. .His lower gar ments reddened with blood, aud a brief examination showed that the bull had passed directly through the body below the hips, and lodged under the skin on the opposite side from the point of en trance. Such a wound could have hut one termination, and Dickinson, after suffering terribly all day, died at nine o’clock the same evening. As, Jackapn and his companions went from the spot the surgeon noticed the blood oozing from bis shoos. “My God, Gen. Jack son, are you bit?’ 7 I exclaimed. “Oh, I believe he has pricked me a little. Lot’s jat it. But say nothing about it here,” 1 pointing to the house they were then ap proaching. Whj r he was so particular In concealing his wound from outsiders is explained, by a friend to whom Jackson I afterward said : “ I did not want him— Dickinson—to have the gratification of knowing that he had touched me,”— Drinking a deep draught of butter milk, ho had the wound dressed’aud was able to ride home without much difficulty ; hut three months elapsed before be could move about comfortably,and the indirect consequence of the injury filled his clos ing years with pain, and at last laid him in his grave. The duelling pistols used on - this occasion Jackson never parted with, and iu his last days a friend calling upon him took up one of. the pistols which lay on the mantel. The old man remarked quietly. “This la the pistol ; with which I killed Mr. Dickinson,” Bo Aarou'Burr would now and then say i with a smile: “My friend Hamilton, whom I shot.” the; early days of william i. marcy. A correspondent of the Liberal Chris tian tells this story about William L. Marcy: .1 spent a day of ray vacation at Charles town, Massaehuaetis. As we rode into the village on the evening of our arrival there we saw an hid man on his way from his house to the barn close by, going witba pail in hand to milk tlx* cows. He was ninety-two years old. He not only milks the cows but drives them to past ure and goes after them again every day, just as he had done for I do not know how many years. In the morning, as we sat upon the piazza of the hotel, the old raau was seen walking along the street on the.other side, with a quick, energetic stop, when Mr. Pratt called him over to the house and introduced ua to him. He sat down and was very chatty, talking over the times that were long ago, and telling us of the years when he saw such men as George Washington and John Adams and Fishor Ames,' and mingled with the great spirits of a gen eration which seems quite distant from the men of to-day. • For General Salem Towue, our venerable friend, was form erly himseifa man of mark and influence, well fitted by nature and education to associate with the most eminent of bis contemporaries. The General is often spoken of an ‘the man who made Bill Marcy.’ Bill Marcy was a native of the immediate vicinity, and grew up to be a wild and heady youth. Ho was thought by his parents and by all tbe neighbors to be the worst boy tboy knew. One winter h© succeeded, in conjunction with kindred spirits, In ousting the teacher from the district school. Salem Towne, then a young man, was summoned ns the fit test person to take charge of these unruly youths and complete the term.— Everybody thought tbe new (eacher would certainly have trouble with Bill Marcy. But that trouble did not come. The first day had not passed before Mr. Towne discovered in his pnpll an ele, mentof real good, and told him so. Tbis to the boy, was a most unusual acknowl edgment, and it touched his heart.— Some one had seen good In him. Ho was then, capable of better things, and was determined to make the endeavor. it was the.turning:* point of bis life.— Such was his conduct and such bis pro f'ress in study, that his teacher advised lim to go on mid prepare himself /or college. It was a great surprise 10 bis parents, hut at the urgent solicitation of Mr. Town© they gave their consent, and be was placed under the instruction of a clergyman iu the vicinity of his home. At length he entered college and passed through the course with great success, Justifying at every step the confidence and hope of his best friend. In subse quent life h,e arose from one degree of eminence to another, until at last the whole world was lamilar with the name and fame of (he great statesman of New York, VVm. L. Maroy. Long years after he had left hie school day haunts, and when he had come (• deserved, eminence, he visited Bsoston and was the guest of the Governor of the old Bay ritate. Among the diatin •guished men who wore Invited to meet him was General Salem Towne.

SHAMS. Sonic nenslble Bemarkp Tbcreow. In a Fourth of July address Efastna "Brooks made these remarks on ttrergbi of our country: To pass by the political shams, which are almost os numerous as the legion cost into the sea, under whose march integ rity of purpose, honesty of administra tion and sagacity in government are put far behind that which is attractive but false—passing by politics, I say, because It Is the fashion to sneer and slur at that which in good bands mea'ns good gov ernment and good laws, let us look abroad upon professions and professors, teachers and dootornaries. Science, so* culled, quarrels with theology, not so much i ecanse science and theology are reasonably at variance, or the Mosaic record of man and nature inconsistent with modern research or discovery; but because the ignorant theologian and the more Ignorant discoverer—two block heads in close collision—believe that their ignorance is the best interpretation of divine wisdom. And it is a mistake Co suppose that shams are confined to lowlife. Pulpit and press, physloand law, the shop and the laboratory, pro* feasorahlps and colleges, teachers and students abound in shams. Men buy and build paper houses and sell them fur oak or brown stone, with plenty of paint and tinsel to gild the goodly outside of . falsehold. We call our veueerings of walnut, rosewood and paint the general thing, when it is all a sham. How tnany shams attend ourcollege comftnencementfl in the heat of midsummer? OurgUdud. cars and steamboats, where they take the place of durability and solid comfort, are shams.. Plain words and facts^—as a spade for a spade, a prison for a theft—do not suit the age. Men love to be .hum* bugged. There is no folly so great, no creed so monstrous, no pretension so ab surd, no appearance so strange and un natural, no fashion so slavish and grotesque, os not to pass current before tiie pure gold of simplicity and sober truth. Pardon mo for so much truth on the day we are accustomed to believe and say that We ore the only really in dependent and patriotic people in the history of the world; , Here now, my lady friends, is a passing beauty, with golden looks hanging grace*, fully upon her shoulders as fair as those of our mother Eve; with teeth of the purest white ; with cheeks vieing with the fairest roses Chat bloom this side of Paradise; perfect in symmetry, ‘theglass of fashion and the mould of form”—and how much, or rather bow little, of all this moving picture, fitted for a gilded, frame,or a frontispiece to a holiday book,' is of Nature’s make? That man Worth, of Paris, before Paris was in part consum ed by fire, and a greater despot l?y far in bia way than Napoleon, made thousands of such walking beauties, from Empress to grisette. and at a cost for-outsille wear that made the tiard-earned gold of fathers and husbands at home the very sport of avarice and folly. Ten such shops, with such patrons—Americans the beat patrons of all,and the-most cringing of all—would give bread and labor to half the peasantry of France. I can say nothing better of a class of men—men no-called, eomeof them with their coats lined with rose buds—a bud to every button hole, ora bouquet in one' as big as a cauliflower —men X pre sume they are, hut yet, men made by. their drapers, and tailors, and furnishers, their shoe rankers, hatters and bairbers. Why such creatures are brought Into thf world, who can tell? COMMERCE OF THE WORLD.

Curiosities of Earth.— At Iho city of Medina, in Italy, and about four miles around it, wherever tbe earth is dug, when the workmen arrive at a distance of sixty-three feet, they come to a bod of chalk, which they boro with an auger, five foot deep. Then they withdraw from the pit, before the auger is removed, and upou its extiactiou tbe water bursts up through the aperature with great vio lence, and quickly fills the newly-made well, which continues full, and Is affect ed by neither rains nor drought. But what is the most remarkable in this ope ration, is the layers of earth as wo de scend. At the depth of fourteen feet aro found the ruins of an ancient city, paved streets, houses, floors and different pieces of mason work. Under this is found a soft, cosy earth, made up of vegetables; at twenty-six feet large trees entire, such as walnut, with tbe fruit stuck to the stem. the leaves and branches In a perfect state of preservation. At twenty-eight feet deep a soft chalk Is found, mixed with a vast quantity of shells, and the bed Is eleven feet thick. Under this veg etables are also found. A Parisian newspaper relates that at a recent meeting of tbe Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Aulraals.a coun tryman, armed with an immense club, presented himself' and demanded the first prize. Ho was asked to describe the act of humanity on which he founded hta claim. ‘I saved the life of a wolf,’ repl ed the countryman. ‘1 might easily have killed him with this bludgeon,’ and ho swung his weapon in the air, to the intense discomfort of the president ‘But where was tbe wolf?’ inquired the latter; what had lie done to you?* 4 Ho had just devoured my wife,’ was the re ply. The president reflected an Instant, und then auid, *My friend. I am of iho opinion that you have bssn sufficiently rewarded.’
