atlhoagh denuded of their ouce spleii

ascertain sway. ; 1
My week hpylDg ended, I prepared to
take leave of my friend, and I Invited
him to a farewell dinner at We; favorite:
cafe, named Marengo., The dinner was
good, the wine excellent, and,my friend
who .spoke English .wonderfully.well,
opened hto heart unreservedly, as not
being understood, even should a spy be
lounging within earshot.
After this we went to the magnificent
theatre—La Bckla: It was njore than
commonly, crowded In consequence of a.
new, candidate for the position of prlma
donna. My friend’s box was on the se-.
oond .tier; we made our way up the:
stone staircase with some difficulty;
here bur further progress was impeded
by the narrbw passage being filled with
people, leaking for accommodation,ppd:
in particular'by an.officer in Austrian
uniform, whom I immediately recog
nized as a great duelist, againat whom
my- friend.entertained: rather unfriend-,
ly views. Im'order to pass it was ne
cessary.for my friend ’to touch'.the offi
cers'elbow 1 , whioh ho ■ did ' with perfect;
foliteness, arid' parddH‘MoiuieHf., [the
talians and Austrians of. the bettor
class, usually spoke French,i.thp'tonly,
response to whioh , : was h'y thA.pmoer,
squaring his huge frame still.mere i»n- ;
accommodatingly.:. My.friend in ado a
seoond effort, this, time attempting with;
gentle force to pußh-himself between
the officer and the balustrade. The of
ficer looked around superciliously, and’
pressed his aria so rudely against py
friend as to thrust him agplUstthe wall,.
My friend, fora.rpah justybwea.forever
to peace, looking, strangely warlike,,
made a sudden effort, bent,down the.
offloer’s arm, and passed.hinrirapidly,:
In doing which- he trod,.l fearinten* :
tioually, on the officer's feet, a compli
ment which was returned by a vigor
ous kick from the, officer’s heavy mill- |
taty boot.
The pain ami publlo luSlgtilty jlrew
from; my friend a sharp,. .snarl;;
Indeed, for the moment he,.resembled,
nothing so much hs a wolf, with hiElips
tightly drawn back, and his gleaming
teeth'exposed, when, springing at’ bis
assailant, he clutched his ample whisk
ers with one hand, and with the' other
bufFettod him in the face repeatedly:
The attack was executed., with bucdl
rapidity thatitbe-officer had no time to
take for the defence, of his
person; bub when the blows rained, on
hlB face, and the blood flowed r he be
came perfectly mad with rage. l :He
stamped furiously, and with a deep
oath, he seized niy friend in his sinewy*
armß, and held him as easily w a cat
would hold a mouse; lie then , backed
down the passage until he came to the
opening, whenlifting him,high in-the
air, he prepared to dash, him on the
marble floor beneath; a must have re
sulted-in frightful mutilation or Instant
death. • But hto purpose was frustrated
by the spectators, myself ajnong- the
number, throwing themselves bri.him,
and, after,a severe struggle, rescued the
little dootor from hto grip. The guard,
attracted by the, turmoil, made their op-
Eoarance, and for the present further
ostillties were impossible. I lost sight
of my friend for a‘ few minutes; he then
rejoined me, and having lamented the
unlucky encounter that had unexpect
edly marred our entertainment, _prof
feped me hia pa 93, which I declined, and
then solicited me to return to the cafe
and wait for him.. I acoeded to hto re
quest, and having ordered a claret cup
well Iced, sat for some time meditating
on the probable issue of the event.
My friend at last came into the cafe,
and addressing me, said: “I, must beg
of you a personal favor —to prolong your
stay in Milan; for a week: You,.have
Been me kicked," looking like a demon,
“yes, kicked by the hoof of a German
pig. You must witness the mode in
which I' shall cancel the debt." , . .
“ I think you have already pretty well,
balanced matters,” I replied. “If the
Austrian used bis foot, you repaid the
obligation nth ply by spoiling hto handJ
some face, with yopr fists.” ' ' •
“ The.stain of a kick to, only effaced
with .blood-. Everything,.is,-, arranged
for a meeting next week. It can’t take
place 1 earlier, as-the Austrian .is still
under arrest for his' lost duel:. To-night
1 must see my' old fencing master,Dl-
Prati; will you come?” “ ; " . •
I consented, and accompanied my
friend, to the back of the Dupmo, where

.“ And now for your weapon,”, said,

ducing a sword. 1 have the measure of
the Austrian’s sword; this one is the
exact length.”
The BWord at a cursory glance.looked
a very uhpromisingweapon with which
to defend a man’s life. My- friend evi
dently thought so, for he examined it
with a dismayed look.
“Why,” said he, “ It’s hardly more
than a lark spit; the Austrian uses a
Konlgsberg. blade, double the weight
and width of this toy.v '

viTwitn all hla force, “there, that alone
is a test which I defy even-the famed
Konlgsberg sword- to undergo. Enough
for this night.,. Come, early to-morrow
for your lessonß.”
When an emitted t.hft professor.' the.,
dootor obtained a promise for me that I
should not leave Milan until the result
of the duel WaS'determined; and that I
would accompahy him to the field.
I saw littleofmy friend except in tire
evening—hewai, engaged elsewhere—X
did not ask in What direction. I surmis
ed he was with'bis finolng master. He
never alluded to the approaching duel
hlB conversation was. tranquil and on
general topics; the affray at the theater
had, however, been bruited about the
city—every one knew the duel was to
come off, but no one knew precisely
when or where.
We were ahont to;part one nigh t when
he saidj"quietly: 1 •
“ To:morrow morning, at five o'clock,
two carriages will be.at the ramparts,
one for myself and second, theother for
the surgeon and my master, Di Prati.
You will pass muster as a surgeon. Let
ms enfcraat-you to make, no objection;
the details have already been finally
arranged. My opponent is provided in
a similar Way; he and his second In one
carriage, DeLlan court, his teacher, ami
a rdal surgeon in the other. .Be puuc
tu&l.”
At five o’clock X found myself in the
c&friage with Prof. D 1 Prati.
; <phe place of combat waa to be near
Monja—just beyond the Milan territory
—there were reasons for this whioh
need not be particularized.
The morning was cold and cheerless,
and when - we alighted, which was in
about two'hours, the day had not bright
ened. ’ All parties got out of the car
riages : the foes Baluted each other brief
ly. I noticed the murderous look in
the Austrian’s, eyes,' and gave up my
friend as lost. ' -Without a word being
spoken we walked on .until we came to

himself of his cloak, and divested him
self or all his upper clothing, leaving
his breast uncovered. I never saw So
fine a form. Perfectly proportioned on

>eople to appreciate small things. They
: eel that If they cannot save large sums
they wilt not save anything. They
do not realize how a daily addition,
be it ever so small, will soon mdke
a large pile. If the young men ah,d
young women of to-day will only begin,
and begin how, to. save a.little of their
earoingß, and plant it in the Bollof some
goodsavings bank, and .weekly or
monthly, add theirmite, they will wear
a happy smileof confidence and inde
pendence when they reach middle life.
Not only the pile itself will increase, but
the desire and ability to increase it will
also grow.' 1 Let clerk and tradesmen, ‘
laborer dhd artisan inake now and at
onoe/a 3?eginhiqg,.V Store up some of
your yputhfal force,and vigor for future
contingency, Let parents teach their
children to begin early to save. BegiD
at the fountain head to control the
stream of extravagance, arid then work
will bo easy; To choose between spend
ing and saving, is'to. choose, between
poverty and riches. Let your youth go
on in habits of extravagance, for' fifty
years to : come, as. they have for fifty
years past, and..we shall .be a nation of
beggars with: a moneyed aristocracy.—
Lot a generation such-as save in email
sums be reared , and we shall be free
from want. Do not be ambitious for
extravagant fortunes, butjlo seek that
which is the duty of every oneto obtain
independence'and a comfortable home.
Wealth.and enough is within the reach
of all. it is. obtainable by one process
and by one. only—saving.
