Charles I" said 'crank, "think of _your mother—think of Adele." "Adele would scorn me, were I bran ded as a coward," replied Charles; "and though my doer mother's heart will bleed when. tlle cold corpse of her only child is lmiught home to her, the consciousness that he has not dis honored the name he bore will con sole her and heal her wounded spirit." . "You always &spilled the character of a duelist," urged the kind-hearted Frank. "Never more than I do at this mb meet," said Charles. "I have not sought this rencontre. Frank,lt has been forced upon. me, You know I have shunned this Kortan as I would a pestilence; I haie avoided him as if a venomous serpent stood in my path, Were Ito decline this chal lenge, the bones of my buried fore fathers would shrink from Mb in the grave." Frank whispered with tearful eyes, "Adele, Oh, my poor sister!" "Do not make .a coward of me, Frank,"" said his friend; "rather strive to term the for the trial I must meet to-morrow"- "To morrow! So soon Oh, not 4,0-morrow!" exclaimed Frank. ‘fAye, to:morrow, at door& ; the soon er is over, tha - better," said Charles, Mournfully. He - then prqduosd tWo miniatures of himself, one for his mother, the other for Adele. ' "I did intend to present them my self on my birthday," - he added with a sigh ; "but,_alas, I shall not be here then. yon be my represents- Frank took the miniatures, but could scarcely - find~ words to assure his unfortunate friend be might de. pend on his executing the commission faithfully. "Mr. Morton has named Dr. Ed wards as his friend," said Charles; "Of course you will be mine." Frank pressed the hand Charles extended to him, but his heart was too full for words; "Our fathers," continued. Charles, "faced death st.the cannon's month, would you have me fear to meet a single bullet? I 7cannot trust•myself to write to my mother, or my dear Adele, it, would unman me; you must be my messenger; say to, them. all I would; if possible. It is now late— we will retire to rest; it will he my last sleep, until I sleep forever." 'l'ke young men then parted for the night. Frank could not sleep; he was too *retched to - close his eyes that night. Before' Charles lay his head on his pillow for the last. time, he humbly addressed a solemn and . fervent prayer to the throne of grace for pardon .for the step he was= about to take. Earnestly did he pray for consolation for those beloved beings it was his unhappy fate to plunge in certain misery. With heartfhlt fervor did he entreat that, though doomed to part forever in this world he might, be permitted to join than once More in the world to come. Then, with the consciousnese"that he was acting as a man and a gentleman, he com posed his weary spirit, and slept much better, than any one could„eipect un der his present difficulties, We will now eiplain the foregoing scene. ..These young men were' both . stu dents in the same college; they had, been friends from childhood, and were both intended for the bar. Charles was in his twenty-first, year. From a boy he had * been most fondly at tached to the sister of his friend. He had long looked -anxiously for the time when, he should be able to com mence the practice of law; as the pe riod when be could claim the lovely Adele for his bride. Both families were wealthy; both descendants of these.bmiencon wholought—bled--- died inthe cense offroAdom. Charles preferred the stndy -of law to the sr- my; and gladly did his fond mother acquiesce in the opinion, that his country needed statesmen now--not soldiers; proudly did She look forward to the tme when her son, her only child, should stand foremost in the legisrative halls as the honored rep resentative oft<bis native State. Alas I it was not to be. - Some months before the date of 'Our little tale, this: Lorton made his ap pearance in the neighborhood of the college. From the first moment he met Charles Singleton, Morton seem ed determined , ,to annoy him. The character of thelatter was soon bla zed abroad. Irk was a notorious du ellist; insolent,md overbearing to all about him; he w*s-addieted to gaming, and was universally disliked by al most all wholmeivhisu. Charles said truly he bee /voided all collision with that= bad man. - On one unfortunate evening, a ball bad been given in. the county court house to welcome the time-honored Lafayette to the country in whose cause he had fought 60 gallantly in his youth% The very flowers of Virginia's beau ty and chiVal.ry were present. All was mirth and happiness. Every heart beat joyfully to the merry sound of the music. - Charles was Rromenading with the beautiful Mary Welford, the affianced bride of his friend, Frank Thornton, when pass ing by Morton, he placed his foot in such a manner as to cause Charles to stumble, and but for the sudden jerk given by his lovely companion he wduld have .fallen to the ground.-:-- Burning with indignation.poor Charles exclaimed : "Villain I the lady's - presence saves you from thuehastisement your das tardly conduet merits." Mary urged Charles to pass on and not heed: the. ruffian. Re-complied with her request, builhe felt from that moment his doom:was sealed. The following Morniu Charles.re ceived a challenge from Morton.— This was no more than +lle expected. He was sufficiently-versed in . the code of honor, as it is termed, to be aware the choice of weapons fell to his hit. Charles bad never fired a.pistol in his life, and it was the boastof his antig onist he could snuff a candle at twen-. ty paces without extinguishing the light. Morton knew, and exulted - in, the advantage he had over the brave boy. His exultation was of short du ration. When Charles's answer was handed to him he hastily broke the seal, but turned pale as he perused its contents; then, looking towards his friend Edwards, he exclaimed: "By heavens 1 This boy has cor. nered me completely; read that I Is it not .a pity to shoot so bold a lad ?" Edwards took the note and read aloud:—"Behind the pines in Suffolk county; weapons, rifles; to advance from twenty paces until the muzzle of each rifle shall touch the breast of the antagonist; to fire together atthe• word; time, noon, Thursday ) Septem ber 18th." "Great end! Morton," ejaculated Edwards, "this is certain death to both I You will not accede to such an arrangement ? You surely will not - meet him on these terms?" "How can I avoid it?" replied Mar ton. "This hot=headed youth has caught me in ray own snare:" "Explain yourself," said EdWards. "I did not intend to shoot the boy," Murton observed, with sigh: 4 .thought to have a clairir on his moth er's gratitude, by receiving his ran dom shot and magnanimously firing my weapon in the air." An incredulous smile played for a moment around the mouth of .Ed wards, as he asked: "Do you, then, know his mother ?" "Do I knoW her! 0 God! how fondly, how madly, have I loved that woman !" Morton paused for a moment,' and then, subduing his agitation, contin ued: "In early youth I sought the love of this lady. She was then a beauti ful girl of siXteen. She avoided me; repulsed my addresses in a gentle but determined manner. I hoped time and assiduity would overcome all ob stacles. I was abient for a few months, and during that time the father of this boy wooed and won the prize I had so long and vainly coveted. Mad dened at the mortification I endured, I vowed eternal Vengeance. Single. ton was a lieutenant in the army; highly respected by his officers, wor shipped by his soldiersi his.country claimed most of his time. I had no opportunity. to put my fearful vo* in execution. Years passed. Singleton rose rapidly in his profession; he was now a colonel. We never met; but everywhere - I could hear of Colonel Singleton's beautiful wife. At last the newt came that the colonel had f a llen in battle. 0,! how my heart leaped with joy! Fanny, my adored Fanny, was a widow—was free'! I determined, as soon as decency would permit, to renew my addresses.— TWelve long, long months pabsed.— The bereaved widow never had been seen except at church, or - in ,the grounds around her own mansion.— .At last, accompanied by ber son, then a child, she would - sometimes ride out: I beard the boy had been sick; she went abroad to restore her darling to health. Iler husband had been food for worms now two years. Anxious to know my fate, I wrote to Fanny, requesting an interview. She coolly declined' the honor`of my visit. Nothing daunted, I wrote and wrote again. At length my letters were re turned, unopened, 'with a request to b e troubled no more. I cursed tbe felly,thaf led me to buMblelpyielf to the haughty " dame. If I - was galled before, I was now stung to. the heart's ,pore. , I left my native - land; for ten years I sought ,amusement in foreign travel. When I returned, some months ago, fate—accursed fate— brought me in the neighborhood of, the college where this boy was com pleting his studies. All tongues were loud in his praise; his virtues, his gen tleness; in- short, Ike was the constant theme of every conversation. - / hated him; for hiamother lavished that love on him I had so long sought in vain. We met, sometimes, in company, but it was impossible not to perceive that he 'most industriously shunned all in tercourse with me, and, with cool po liteness, repelled all endeavors on my part to be friends. On the night of that fatal ball I know not what devil prompted me to insalt him. Ilifear. less and determined• manner, before the lovely girl who hung on hie arm, utade me feel as contemptible as I knew I must appear in her eyes. I hastened home, wrote a laconic chal lenge, which produced that equally laconic reply.' . Edwardslisteited attentively to Mar, ton's tale - of his early love; but, while he pitied his disappointed and unre quited passion, despised the steps he had taken to obtain revenge. - After a few moments' silence Ed wards observed: "Perhaps -Charles Singleton may withdraw himself, from this mad-ar rangement, which mustprove certain death to both parties." Morton an swered "You do not know,; the boy. As soon might you expect .the roaring cataract to retrace its foaming up the rugged rocks from which it dashes, as that brave youth to recede from any step When he feels assured that'he is right!' "Allow me, then to settle this dif fictilty amicably, if f you do not wish to take his life," said Edwards, quick= ly, eager to catch at any - plea to stop this horrid dael. "What 1 to be poded for'a coward —a poltroon—through the whole State of Virginia? Never 1" replied the duelist, "never! .Would not all the World say, if he had fought with pistols, I sbouldnot-have shunned the encounter? I know he is totally un skilled in the use of fire-arms; of course he had but fr a poor chance to hit me. My object was to humble his mother's, proud soul, -when she should be told she was indebted to the man she spurned for the life of her much loved son. This Hotspur has signed the death-warrant of both." "For G'eod'e sake ! let me appeal to his mother to put a stop to this duel? 1 will make it appear the act is en tirely unknown to you—will that sat isfy your revengeful heart ?" “And make her hate me worse than ever,” returned Morton, with a. bitter Smile. "It cannot be; all leMonstraince is in vain; it is too late to retract now." With a heavy "heart, the Doctor tdolc.his - leave to meet the following day 'to attend his friend to the scene of certain death. Thursday morning dawned as calm find bright as thoug,h no deed of death were contemplated. Before the ap. pointed hour both parties were on the spot. ' - • Morton was pale and agitated; over and over again did Dr. Edwards urge him to desist before it was 'too late. His only reply was; dare not; I, who have Thad death so often, am doomed to meet it at last from the hands of one I ought to love as my own child, for he is the offspring of her for whom I would. willingly sac• rifice ten thousand lives." -"I cannot fight against fate; my d6opi is sealed." On the other side,poor Frank, with tearful eyes and almost bursting heart, entreated Charles to "let him adjust tbe matter, and notlbe the death. of his dear.mother andhis loved Adele. "Name not those dear objects to me now," said Charles, "it will unman me; tell them my last prayer—my last thought was for them—bid them pray for me when I arri gone." The turning with a bright smileto wards ids adversary, he inquired of Frank if the hour was nigh? Previous to taking their ground, Edwards „once more appealed to Mar ton--once more endeavored to melt the hard heart of that revengeful man. "Look at him, Morton, look at him; have you the heart to be the death of thatbeautiful, that dauntless boy ?" "I dare not look at him," cried Mor ton; "he is too like his mother; if I see her image reflected in her chld, it will make a coward of 'roe; -urge me no more, the die is 'cast for us both." In a fe* minutes, the seconds on either side made their requisite ar rangements, the opponents took their respective places; Charles with a firm step, but flushed cheek. Morton ' pale" tottering, with eyes averted from the - Sbject of 'his vengeance. ,The word wasgiven—they advanc ed, and as bad' rifle touched the breast of his antagonist,-thdy sithultaneons ly fired. Charlss—the noble, whole smiled Charles, fell dead instantly, the ball hid pierced his heart. Morton uttered one shriek—one fearful yell, and then expired. The friends of these unfortunate beings whi had been hurried out of eiistence, jointly expresatti.their re gret at the result of :thia ,encouuter, , and as. they departed, :bearing, with them the remains of. the -victims of mistaken vengeance, clefSi/mined per , tiagain. to,join in an affair uf honor. Edwards had, comparativelyspeak ing, an easy task to perform. Mor ton directed in his Will that his body shorytdd -I)e:,plaeed in the burial ground f iiiitatieestOrs irLtin*lddiemounty WHOLE NO. 563. as be had no near relatives; none grieved at-his untsniely death, partic ularly as his Wealth consisting of (lA ton- plantations -and slaves; he request ed should-be-equally divided .between the two beingg, he had most injured. namely, the „mother,' and alTianced bride of his victim. On poor Frank, the affieLionate, '4le tender,hearted Frank, devolved a duty as distressing to him, as_it was to those t&whom it was his lot todis close the adventure of that fatal day. When the dead body of her darling Bon was bornefto the dwelling of his widowed parent, her heart bled with anguish. No one but .Dr. Edwards and her self could surmise why Morton bore such a deadly nimosity to her amia ble and muctit t f",,,apeCted son. Deep err-far deeper, was the wound Mrs. Singleton endured from the- (torts% conviction that Charles had . fallen a victim to the malice Morton felt to wards her., As the grave close over his remains she felt as if the whole world was centred in the coffin that held the asheS of her only chid. _ We will now turn to Adele—the tender, thnid'Adele. She bad looked forward to the approaching vacation with delight. Charles would come home with her brother Frank. Their plantations joined; she would see her loved Charles every day until he should go to the city to commence the study of law. Oh, how fondly, how anxiously did that young girl vhsh for that vacation. When the news reached her that he was dead—shot--we may almost say murdered—she fell as lifeless as the body -of him she mourned. Days, weeks,rnonths passed-7-that beautiful, that innocent being *at a raving ma niac, with brain fever; and when rea son once more dawned on her Bo long benighted soul, it Ivits only to renew her sorrows; she seemed as if awak ening from a long slumber. One by . one ,the inquired every circumstance of. Charles's death. Daily,hourlydid she view the little miniature—his last, his dying gift. As she kissed the senseless ivory, she would gently whisper, shall soon be with you dear, dear Charles." - Truly did she surmise, bar stay on eartipwas but for a short duration.— As the fever left her fragile frame, She sank into a deep- decline, from which no art of medicine could save her. - She faded daily, and as the an niversary of Charles's death drew nigh, her physician • requested no al. lusion whatever might be made tore new her grief, as_any agitation might prove fatal.. I About noon on the 18th--the un fortunate, the fatal 18th of Septem ber—Adele requested td be assisted to the window to enjoy the fresh air. The day was serene and beautiful.— The foliage was just beginning to change in the neighboring threat, and poor *Adele nodded to Mrs. Singleton, who was watching beside her: "The. leaves are falling again; I shall soon fall too. This is the anni. versary of our dear Charles's murder; have you forgotten it ?" Then taking the miniature from ber bosom, she kissed it over and over again, and, turning to .her weeping Mother, said "Proinise to lay me in the same crrave with Charles, will - "you?" Sobs were the only answer she re. eeived. She then continued "It is near noon now, I,come, dear Charles—l come." She bent her head over his image, au though to, press it to her lips,- but, •alas, that gentle spirit had fled forev er. Adele was dead! According to her dying request, she Wa§ laid in the grave beside him whom she liadloved so fbndly thrmigh life. Rot a dry eye followed that sweet girl to the tomb; and many, very ma ny were the execrations that were uttered by the assembled slaves on the bad white man who murdered their young master and mistress. The wealth bequeathed by Morton to Mrs. g Singieton and Adele was scornfully 'rejected by both. Dr. Ed wards, as the most intimate friend of Mr. Ithirton, was requested to seek out the lawful heirs; and restore their property, which he most honorably did. • Ere 4hother year had waned, the heart-kroluen raother was laid in the grave of her murdered' boy. "Thus three amialle beings were hurried oat of 'existence; the victims of a liad man's-revenge. - „ A "DEFEATAT h ANOESTRY.—It is announced with great pomp by the Abolition press, that Col.

ANJITRIES TO WOMEN AND GIRLS FROM THEIR GARMENTS TARING FMB -Wi3 call public attention to the simple and effectual remedy which has been frequently published. here tofore, but which *seems to beforet ten. It. is that, immediately upot discovering that their garments itifi on fire, they shall throw themselves upon the floor and roll once or twice. This is an act so easy, that it can be performed as well, by the smallest child, as by _the most decrepid old woman that is able to stand or sit by the fire. If any one doubts the effl may of the remedy, let them take a strip of Cotton cloth, and holding it with one end dOwnwardiil, set fire td the lower end, and see bow quickly it will be Cdrisumed; . then light an; other strip and throw it upon the floor as soon as it is ignited, and see that it will burn very slowly and soon go out. This remedy ought to be im pressed upon the mind of every wo man, and ought to be taught by every mother' to her daughters, as soon as they are able to learn anything: PRECOCIOUS JUVENILES.--. A few days since a telegraph despatch was received at the 'police head.quarters Now York frem Albany stating that James Baylis, a boy tive*6 ytotf§ of age, had eloped from that city iirith agil named Ellen Shurrer, aged thir teen years. The little couple came to New York by steamboat, and the girl when she got here made her *ay to an acquaintance living in Eighth avenue, where the police found her. The girl said she had not yet become a wife, though waiting to be one, and supposed that for the present she would have to give up all hope, owing to the "great fuss" her folks had cre ated. Neither she nor "Jimmy'' had been treated well at home, and they hardly knew a better coarse to,put sue. than to come on to New TOf and seek their fortunes together. Ob tained $3, they started on boat for New York, hiring a state-coon for $l, and having another $1 left. After spending all their money, the ambi tio.us pair sought out their Eighth avenue acquaintance,whe . 6, as above; stated, they were arteated. 'The girl is a bright, intelligent little thing.
