"Madman! you surely have not
accepted the challenge of this bar
barian ?" _
"1 was not mad enough to refuse
it," was the reply.
"Charles! 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 ,

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. -

The lady is a beautiful white, widow,
has two or three grown up children,
and possesses a large atnount of prop.
erty, and has just recovered 85000 in
surance on her husband's life. SoMe
months ago she was found to be in

Bridgeport, and such was the feeling
created in the town that he went to
Now York where he opened a reatin
rant. The widow was only
.preven

ence of her friends. At this she told
them they were already married and
that the ceremony was legally per
formed in New York, last fall. The
lady's friends, however, having re
ceived communications from the,ispir
it world that she vs-as insane, hid Nit
coral - tinted to the asylum, at Hartford - ,
but no sufficient authority being
shown for her detention, she was seat
back, and after certificates were ob
tained from three BridgepOrt
clans declaring her to be insane, she
was again returned. Tuesday morn
ing, however, her negro husband Ap
peared at the Asylum to claim her
and as there were no grounds for de
4ention, the negro sailed off with her;
in triumph. The case has created in

while the lady is described as quite

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
