There was ono fellow, among us named

pistol was death, and his.. broadsword cut
like the scissors of fate; It,was

to see the fine .fellow fire—one, two three,

with shouts of laughter, and drank-With
riotous confusion, to the health of Ger 7
truck, the fairest of the ' fair. As theglearn
ing goblets were emptied and dashed rat.
tling on the table Mentz arose, and with
the bloated importance of a despot, gazed
around to see that all present had fulfilled
his orderS. Every goblet wasemptied but
one, which stood untested, untouched.—
On perceiving this, the ruffian leaned for
ward, fixed his eyes on the cup, struck his
brawny hand down fiercely on the table,
which returned a thundering clatter, and
said in a voice husky with rage.
"There is scup full; by St. Anthony!
I will make the owner swallow its meas•
ure of molten lead if it remain thus one in
stant longer."
"Drink it, Arnold; drink it boy ! Keep
thy hand out of useless broils," whispered!
I a l Student near him rather adVencedin age.
"Drink, friend," muttered another 'drily,
"or he will not be slow in doing his threat,
I promise thee."
"Empty the cup, man," cried a third;
"never Frown or turn pale, or thy young
head will lie lower than thy feet ere to
morrow sunset,"
"It is Mentz, the duellist," said a fourth.
"Dost thou not know his wonderful skill?
Ile will kill thee as if thou wert a deer,
if thou wilt oppose him in his wine. lie
is more merciless than a wild boar. Drink,
man, drink."
These good-natured suggestions were
muttered in hasty and vehement whispers ;
and•while the students were endeavoring
to palliate theAreadful catastrophe, the fu
rious beast again struck his giant hand on
the table violently, without speaking,
as if words were too feeble to utter his
rage.
During this interesting scene the youth
had remained motionless, coot and silent.
A slight pallor, but evidently more of in
dignation than fear, came over his hand
some features, and his eves, dilated with
emotion, rested full and firm on' Mentz.
"By the mass, gentlemen," cried he at
length ; "1 am a strang,er here, and igno
rant of the manners prevalent in the Uni
versities; but if yon person be sane and
this no joke—"
"Joke," thundered Mentz, foaming at
the lip.
"I must tell you that I come from a part
of the dountry where we neither give nor
take such jokes or such insults.
"Hest thou taken leave of thy friends?"
said Mentz, partly hushed by astonishment,
"art thou tired of life that thou hurriest so
blindly to &bloody pillow 7 Boy, drink, as
I have told thee to Gertrude, thew fairest of
the fair!" And his huge eyes opened and
gazed like those of a bull on a dying vic-
tim. •
"That Gertrude may be the fairest of
the fair may not be denied by me. But I
demand by what mischance I find her,
name this night common at a board of ri
oters, and polluted by the lips of a drunk
ard and coward ?"
"By the bones of my father," said Mentz,
in a tone of deep and dire auger, which
had ere then appalled many a stout heart;
"by the bones of my father, your doom is
sealed I Be your blood on your own head.
But," said he, observing thatthe youth, in
stead of lowering bore himself more lofti
ly, .'what folly is this? Drink, lad, dribk,
and I hurt thee not! I love thy gallant
bearing,. Y
_mv game is not such as thou
c He adde . ci this with such a wavering of
manner as had never before been witness
ed in him, for never before had he been so
calmly and fiercely opposed ; and, for a
moment he quailed before the fiery glea
ms darted'at him from one he supposed
'Meeker than a dove. But ashamed of his
transient fear, he said, ~Come tome, poor
child'! Bring with thee thy goblet ; bend at
my foot arid quafrit, 1113 I have said, out of
pity, I spare thy young head."
What was the astonishment of the , coin
pany'on behelding Arnold, as if effectually
aw,,ed'by a moment's reflection, and the fe7
rocious enmity of so deadly and celebra
ted a foe, actually do as he was command
ed. He rose, took the cup;, and slowly

thy base, brutal insolence, and thy stupid
presumption."
As he spoke he dashed the contents of
the ample goblet full in the face of Mentz,
and than with all his strength hurled the
massy goblet itself at The same mark. The
,giant reeled . and staggered a few paces
back ; and amid,the shining liquor on his
drenched 'clothes and dripping features a
stream of blood was seen to trinklo down
hisforehead.
Never before was popular feeling more
suddenly and violently reversed. A loud
and irrepressible burst of applause broke
from every lip, till the broad and heavy
rafters above their heads, and the very
foundations of the floor shook and trem
bled. But the peal of joy and approbation
soon ceased ; for though this inspiring dra
ma had so nobly commenced, it was un
certain how it might end. nefore the ty
rant had recovered from the stunned and
bewildered trance into which the blow,
combined with grief, shame, astonishment
and drunkenness had thrown him, several
voices, after tho obstreperous calls for si
lence usual on such occasions, addressed
the youth who stood cool and erect, with
folded arms, waiting the course of events.
"Brave Arnold ! Noble Arnold ! A gal-
lant deed ! The blood of a true gentleman
in his veins !"
"But canst thou fight criAttV one.
"I am only a simple student and an ar
tist by profession ; I have devoted . myself
to the. pencil and not the sword," answer
ed Arnold.
"But thou canst use it a little, canst thou
not'!" asked another.
"But indifferently," answered the youth..
"And how art thou with a pistol ? de
manded a third.
"My hand is unpractised," replied Ar
nold ; "1 have not skill in shedding human '
blood."
"'Fore God! thenirrash boy, what has
tempted thee to this fatal extremity ?"
"Hatred of oppression, in all its forms,"
replied the youth, "and a willingness to
die rather than submit to an insurt."
"Die then thou shalt, and that ere to-
I I
morrow's sun shall set !" thundered Mentz,
starting up in a frenzy, and with a hoarse
and broked voice that made the hearts of
the hearers shudden as if at the howl of
a demon.
"I challenge thee to mortal combat."
"And I accept the challenge."
"It is for thee to name time, place and
weapons,but as thou lovest me, let it not
be longer than tomorrow night, or I shell
burst with impatience_and rage."
"I love then not, base dog I" replied Ar
nold; "but thou shalt not die so inglori
ous a death ; I will fight with thee, there
fore, to-night."
"By the mother of Heaven, boy !" cri
ed Mentz, more and more surprised, "thou
art in haste to sup in hell I" and the ruffi
an lowered his vrice, "art thou mad ?"
"Be that my chance," answered Arnold,
"I shall not be likely to meet even in hell
a companion so brutal as thou, unless,
which 1 mean shall be the case, thou bear
me company.
"To-night then be it," said Mentz,
"though my hand is unsteady; for wine
and cigars arc no friends to the nerves."
"Dost thou refuse me, then 1" demanded
the youth, with a sneer.
"By the mass, nol but to-night is dark,
the moon, is down, tho.stars are clouded,
and the wied goes by in heavy gusts and
pug's. , Hear it, oven now,"
"Therefore," said the youth,apparently
more coldly composed 49 his fierce rival
grow more perceptibly agitated—"there
fore wo lay down our lives here,,in , this
hall, on this spot, at thisinstant, oven us
thou standest new."
„.
"There,is,no one here, .who will be my
friend," said . Mentz, so . evidently sobered
and subdued , by the singular composure
and self-possession of his, antagonist, that
all present held him in contempt, and no
one stirred..
"No matter," cried Arnold,"l •will my
self forego the, same privilege."
,"And your .weapons, " , said,Mentz,:
"Aro here,", cried. Arnold,,drawing, them

1 young 1-1., whose round; smooth face, soft
skin, and clear complexion gave him a
rather ferninine cast of countenance. And
the mode in "which he dressed his halir
heightened the• effect of his peculiar phy
siognomy. In his childhood he received
'an injury on his head from a scald, which
l ever prevented the growth of any hair on
i the scalded spot. On ovey other part of
' his head his hair was of the most luxuriant
growth. This blemish he was always
with a lady's comb.
But it must,not be inferred that H. was
feminine in dispositions for a more manly,
generous-hearted, good-natured fellow nev
er lived. He was always full of fun, and
very ila i

it
always ready to enter in any joke that
was going on.
The lunlady at' one of our usual stop
ping places on the circuit, was a very pre
\cise formal widow, considerably past the
prime of life e dvlie valued herself very
'
much for her strict propriety of deport
' ment, and the respectability of her house.
To do Mrs. L. justice, it must be admitt
ed that her house was the most orderly,
and the neatest in its arrangements of any
in the circuit. '
But some of us thought that her extreme
nicety of demeanor bordered rather on
prudery, and the great pains she always
took to provide for the comfort of the
Judge, who was a formal old bachelor,
manifested a preference not altogether, to
the taste of sonic of the young metaberSOf
the tar, who thought themselves equally
las well entitled as the. Judge' to the kind
consideration of the landlady. Some of
them, therefore, determined to iudulge
themselves in a joke, at the first conveni
ent opportunity, at the expense of the Judge
and our hostess.
The appearance of H. on our circuit
suggested a convenient opportunity for
playing off the long contemplated prank.
As I-1. never had been "victimized" on our
circuit, no scruples were entertained on
his account.
We had been riding during the greater
part cf a cold uncomfortable day, over un
extensive prairie, exposed to n sharp, cut
ting wind, when we approacned within n
few miles of the house of Mrs. L. whom
we intended , honoring with our company
for that night.
F. and B. suggested that it would be
better to ride ahead and give Mrs. L. time-

man race and of God—a dangerous beast,
whom it will be a mercy and a virtue to
'destroy. My own life I would well be rid
of, but would not fling it away idly, when
its loss may ho made subservient to the de
struction of vice and the'relief of humani
ty. Here, then, I yield my breath; and
hero, too, this trembling and shrinking
craven shall close his course of debauche
ry and murder. My companions, fare
well ! Should any of you hereafter chance
to meet with Gertrude de Seale, tell her I

turning fiercely to Mentz," plant thy pistol
to my bosom, as I will plant mine to thee.
Let one of the company cry three, and the
third number be the signal to fire."
- With an increased paleness in his coun
tenance, but even with more firmness, Ar
nold threw off his cap, displaying his fair
forehead and glossy ringlets. His lips were
closed and firm, and his eyes which glst
ened with a deadly glare, were fixed on
Mentz. He then placed himself in an at
titude of fi ring, broadened his exposed
chest full before his foe, and with n stamp
of impatience raised his wenpon•
The
brow-beaten bully attempted to do the
same; but the pistol,' held loosely in his
grasp, whether by: accident or intention,
went oil' before the signal. Its contents
passed through the gitrments of Arnold,
who levelling the muzzel of his own cried
calmly.
"On your knees, "el Vile dog !
Down! or you die !" '
Unable any longer to snpport his frame,
the unmasked coward sunk on both knees
and prayed for life. Again wild shouts of
applause and delight, and penis of riotous
laughter stunned his ears. 1 shall never
forget the shouts when Mentz's knees
touched the floor. It seems to me that the
echoes may be scarcely quiet in the woods
of Saxony. As he rose from his humilia
ting posture, Arnold touched him contemp
tuously with his foot. Groans and hisses
now began to be mingled with several mis
siles. Mentz covered his face with his
hands and rushed from the room, and was
never more seen among us.
Arnold had been jilted like many n good
fellow before him, and like most men who
have to do with women. He was but 'a
poor artist, after all; and though my pret
ty mistress encouraged him at first, taken
by,his person and manners, yet he was
not high enough for, the daughter'of a Ba
ron.

"You are indeed I" replied our hostess.
''Do you not regard it as an insult to a
lady, to introduce to her such a worthless

"Why, 'Mrs. L., said tlie Judge, "Mr.

gentlemen in our country. You certainly
