"Visitors!" exclaimed Kate Bennett, im
patiently, as she laid aside the book she bad
been reading, awl in which she had been
deeply interested, and tonic the cards,
"Dear me, how provoking! Just as I
am in the most exciting part of the story—
and that pert, disagreeable Emily Archer,
too," she added, reading ono of the cards;
"who else I wonder?"
IVas there magic in that simple bit of
pasteboard, inscribed only with tho two
words "Richard Warren?" It would al
most seem so, so instantaneously did her
countenance change. The frown 'that bad
Ilisfigurod her , -beautiful brow disappeared,
her -eyes fparkled, without apotisreiliotiklit
,Tr''''";r ,. •
exceptionable, and left the room.
As she entered the drawing-room, and
greeted her guests with all that grace and
elegance of manner for which she was dis
tinguished, Emily Archer surveyed ber with
one rapid, critical glance; but dress, as well
as manner, was faultless.
"It must be confessed that Kate 'Rowlett
enters a room like a queen," she thought,
With a pang of envy and jealousy, as in
Riehard Warren's thee she read undisguised
admiration of the lovely girl before them.
What casual observer, who had marked
the meeting of these young ladies, would
have dreamed that, under all their outward
friendliness, each hated the other with her
whole heart?
Yet so it was. sate and Emily were ri
val belles, and their claims to admiration
were so equally ballaneed that it required uo
little exertion ou either side to gain the as
cendency v,nd be acknowledged the victor.
If Kate, with her classical features, queen
ly dignity, elegant figure, awl exquisite
taste, at first sight threw her rival into the
shade, Emily's piquant style, sparkling, an
imated countenance, and sprightly conver
sation, were by many preferred to Kate's
statuesque beauty. It was impossible to
decide which was the loveliest; each had
her adherents and admirers, but as they
were equally numerous, it seemed probable
that the season would draw to a close with
out the all important decision of the ques
tion, which had been par excellence, the
belle.
Just at this time, Richard Warren return
ed from Europe. The arrival of so unde
niably elegant, handsome, and wealthy a
gentleman, was an event—all the fashiona-
ble world was in a flutter, and the rivals saw
at once that the important epoch had ar
rived. She whose claim he advocated,
whom he favored with his admiration,wouhl
at once stand upon the precarious pinnacle
of belleship. Each left nothing undone to
win him to her side, though their: tactics
were entirely different.
Emily brought to boar upon him the bat
teries of her sprightly wit, while Kate adroit
hy laid the mine of apparent queenly indif
ference. As yet, though it was evident
that Richard admired both, his preferencO
was not known—perhaps he hardly knew
himself which he , thought the most charm
ing.
But during this exposition of the claims
of the rivals, a lively conversation had been
discussed, as well as some of their mutual
friends, and in the midst of some wickedly
witty remarks of Emily on a -would-be-fash
ionable lady, a loud voice was heard in the
hall. It came nearer the door, and the
words could tfi. distinctly understood:
"You no-brained, impudent jackanapes,
I'll teach you manners, I'll make you laugh
on eother side of your mouth!"
Tho door was flung open, and in walked
a tall, athletic and sunburnt young man,
whose really fine form was disguised in an
ill-fitting suit of evidently domestic manu
facture, and who stood off for a moment
awkwardly looking around him, then, hastily
approaching Kate, ho flung his arms around
her, and gave her a loud smack on the
cheek.
She withdrew 11

well-knowing that tho fastidious Richard

"Yes," returned Warren, hardly knowing

possible spirits, internally triumphing over
the discomfiture of her rival.

listened with polite attention to his frank
and sensible criticisms. At parties, too, he

A DUELLIST DISGUSTED.
A very laughable circumstance is said to /
have occurred in Albany, daring a session ;
of the Legislature at the Capitol, several(
years ago—of coarse, before the prohibition
of duelling by statute in that State.
It was an exciting political time, and ow
ing to "some words spoken in debate," by a
heated member, "during the heated term,"
touching somewhat upon the character of n
brother member, a challenge was forthwith I
despatched to the offending member by a
"friend," as such a messenger is called in
the hinging° of the code of honor.
The challenge was at once accepted.
Pleased with bis promptness, the second
said: "When can we expect your friend?"
"Don't want any friend," said the chal
lenged party. "I waive all such advantages.
De can have a dozen if ho wishes."
"This is magnanimous but it is not accord
ing to the 'code: Well sir, if lam to confer
with you directly, what weapons?"
"Broadswords."
"The time."
"Day after to-morrow at 32 o'clock at
noon precisely."
"At what place?"
'At on the St. LIIIVIPCIICe. Your
principal shall stand on one side of the river,
and I will stand on the other, and we will
fight it out."
The .Psecostil ; frowned.: "This is no jest
ing /natter, sir. ? . ."ottarg,..not serious."
Wfiy, yes:lam, tool Itas'nt the ehal
i
longed party a right to the choice of weapons
and place?"
"Well—yes sir—but not to Unusual weap
ons in unusual places."
"Very well; pistols will not be objected
. to, of course."
"Very good, then. We will meet to mor
row iu the little village of P-----, and at 12
o'clock precisely we will fight on the "Sugar
loaf JIM; standing back to back, marching
ten paces, then turning and firing. Will
that arrangement be satisfactory?"
"It will. We shall be there."
And the parties separated. :NOW "Sugar
loaf hill," "at the place aforesaid;" was ex
actly what its name imports—a sharp con
ical pillar of ground, remarkable a3l over the
immediate country round fob its peculiar
formation.
IThe time arrived, and the "parties" ap
[ peered on the ground; bat the state of the
case "leaked out" very quick.
"Sir," said the second, "us he arrived
with his almost breathless "principal" a the
apex of the Sugar-loaf, and surveyed the
ground—"Sir'. this is another subterfuge!

Hoary Ward Beecher, in u recent lecture,
ears:
"I may here, as well as anywhere, impart
the secret of what is. called good luck and
Lad luck, There are men who supposing
Providence to have an implacable spite
against them, bemoan in poverty to a
wretched old age the misfortune of their
lives. Luck forever ran against them and
fur others.
"Oae with a good profession, lost his luck
in the river, where he idled away his time
fishing when he should hare been in the
office. Another, with a good trade, perpet
ually burnt up his luck by his hot temper,
which provoked all his employees to leave
him. Another, with a lucrative bu-iness,
lost his luck by amazing diligence alt every
thing but his business. Another. Avho
steadily followed trade, al StCallitY follow
ed the bottle. Another, who was honest
anal constant at his work, erred by perpet
ual misjudgments; he lacked discretion.—
Hundreds lose their luck by endorsing; by
sanguine speculations; by trusting fraudu
lent men,—and Ly dishoneq gain.. A man
never has good luck who has a bad wife. I
never knew an early-rising, hard-working,
prudent man, careful of his earnings, and
strictly honest, who complained of bad luck.
A good character, good habits and iron in
dustry, are impregnable to the assaults of
nit the ill luck that fouls ever dreamed of.—
but when I see a tatterdemalion creeping
out of at grocery late in the forenoon, with
his hands stuck into his pockets, the rim of
Ms hat turned up; and the crown knocked
in, I-know he has bad luck—for the worst
of all lock is to be a sluggard, a knave or a
tippler."
MEANNESS DON'T PAY.
There is no greater mistake that a busi
ness mau makes than to be mean in his
business—always taking the half cent for
the dollars he has made and is making.—
Such a policy is like the farmer who sows
three pecks of seed when he 'ought to have
sown five, and as a recompense for his
meanness of soul, only gets ten 'when he
ought to have got fifteen bushels of grain.—
, FAery body has heard the proverb of "penny
wise and pound foolish." A liberal expeit
. allure in the way of business is always sure
. to be a capital investment.
There are people in the world who are
short-sighted enough to believe that their
interests can be best promoted by grasping,
and clinging to all they can get, and never
let it cent slip through their fingers. A s a
general thing it will be found, other things
being equal, that he who is most liberal is
most successful in business. Of course we
do not mean it to be inferred that a man
should be prodigal in his expenditures, but
that be should show to his customers, if he
is a trader, or to those whom ho may be do
ing any kind of business with, that in all
his transactions, as well as social relations,
ho acknowledges the everlasting fact that
there can be no permanent prosperity or
good feeling is a community where benefits
arc not reciprocal.—hunt's "Verchane -Vag

13ZGINNrtiG AT MCI.
Faith is the starting point of obedieriCin
but what I want is, that you start impact'',
ately—that you wait not fot: more light to
spiritualize your obedience, but that you
work for more tight, by yielding a present
obedience up to the present light which you
profess—that you stir up all the gift which
is now in you; and this is the way to have
' the gift enlarged, that whatever your right
baud fiudeth to do in the way of service to
God, you now do it with all your might.—
And the very fruit of doing - of his authority,
is that you trill at length do it because of
your own renovated taste. As you perse
vere in the labors of His service, you will
grow in the likeness of Ills character. The
graces of holiness will both brighten and
multiply upon you. These will be your
treasures, and treasures fur heayspi,too—thc
delights of which mainly consist in theaffoc
tions and feelings, and congenial employ
ments of the new creature.—Dr. C7m/nter.t.
HAPPINESS IN THE SHRVICE OP
GOD.
The Christian does net serve God for hap
piness, but God by a sublime necessity has
attached happiness to his service. Along
the ranks of his army goes the command to
rejoice; above it floats the banner of love.—
Felieity is the light which rests over it all.
From the helmets of the seraphim that light
is flashed back in full unclouded blaze; on
us of the human race, who, as Isaac Taylor
says beautifully, "seem to stand almost on
the estreme confines of happiness," its first
rays arc even now descending. happiness
is the spheral music in which a God, whose
name is Love, has ordained thaf holiness
must voice itself; his light, as it sweeps over
the zEolian harp of immensity, kindling
every dead world into beauty, breaks forth
in the Memnonian anthem ofjoy.
BEAVELFui. AND TRICE.
In a late article in Prazier's Magazine
this brief but beautiful passage occurs:
"Education does not commence with the
alphabet. It begins with a mother's look—
with a father's smile of approbation, or a
sign of reproof—with a sister's gentle pres
sure% of the hand, or brother's noble act df
forbearance--with hands full of flowers in
green and daisy meadows—with bird's nests
admired but not touched—with creeping
ants and almost imperceptible emmets..--
with humming bees and glass beehives—
with pleasant walks in sandy lanes, with
thoughts directed in sweet and kindly tone.,
and words to mature to acts of benevolence,
to deeds of virtue, and to the source of all
good, to God himself,"
The great thing to be attended to in
prayer, that which is the very essence of it,
is reality! Every sentence must be the ve
hicle of truth. All falsehood is wicked:
never is it so wicked as in prayer. The
terance of lies, direct in the face of God and
truth, is the very climax ofiniquity. As the
Searcher of hearts, he "desires truth in the
inwa.rdparta" lie is pre-eminently "the God
of truth, by whom actionsare weighed," and"
to whom "all thiugsarc naked and opsn,"
BE STIICERE.
