Jack pulled asood oar!)a dab at fendhig,

crown all , he had just made a not un
successful debut . 'as a 'speaker- in
at

ought to have-be - eh happy, from a-thou;

py 1" naethinke I hear a fair reader in
quire. Jack was not happy or - rather
he thought he was ant. happy. Jack
had got it, into' his silly hpail that in
spite of his . accornplishments, his clev
.erness, and Ins-liOnds . cirne - face _ and fig
ure, he (Jack) was acowaid ;. and that,
if ever his courage should-be .put; to the
proof, - he should be:lamentably. want
ing. .This . was ornbre noir ;"
- this was the tkonglit.which embittered
Jack's existence; atlhe time we intro
duce Jack to our readers, lie was in his
. aforesaid easy and under - the
soothing influence of his aforesaid pipe,
assisted by, a cup_ of strong Mocha,
turning over in
,his mind, the different
methods by which he thought it likely
that he might be able to'solve the knet
ty question" Am• I, or
,am I not, a
coward r'' • • ' -
Sack thought, and gmoked and amok
'edi till he Was half asleep, without:com
ing to any. conclusion; -the idea had
taken him strangely; he, however de
termiiied, as indeed he had fifty times
before determined,,to seize the first op
portunity which might present itself of
placing himself in the way of grappling
with some imminent danger. - •We shall
in less than ten minutes see that the
wished frit. opportunity -presented it
self, and in a rather curious manner.
The long vacation arrived ; that time
so wished for, so looked forward to by
all the legal-profession; that time dur
ing which, &c. .
Jack, like many other denizelrof
the Temple, packed op his traps, eent
his clerk, for a cab, stuck a card out
side his door, with the inscription
" Return before the 20th of October,"
" shipped himself all aboard of a ship,"
then of a diligence, and in a due course
"'o s lime found himself.in Paris. One
halrilay: was sufficient to enable him to
:find a OW suite Sr room os, Rue_do Hel
der, BouNtalien ;`and now behold
Jack, fully latitiehed in all the gaiety,
not to say dissipaticmoof the metropolis
of the French.. Jack s e, have before
said, -- was a very good .shOt...,with the.
~pistol, yet he had never been gtkilty of
'that height of folly, a duel ; and hiked
he had often - been heard to say, tha
lie never would. - lie, however, fre
quented many of the - pistol galleries
which abounded in Paris, and amongst
others, he had honored with his pres
ence the lir2aupistold of Mr. Lepage,
where, of course, he very soon became
-known as ~,C e Monsieur anglois, qua
- tire aussi bien qtenn Francais."
One day Jack, on going to the gal
lery of M.. Lepage with, one of his
friends, found it occupied by a young
man well known as one of the best
shots in Paris ; and Most assuredly he •
was a good' shot. • He performed all
the feats whiebsrailition'assigns to the
~Chevalier St. George ; he each, time,
hit the bull's. eye of the -target at the
-usual distance, snuffed a candle with
thaball, split a bullet against the edge
of a knife, and drove la nail! into the
waßby 'striking die fiead .exaCtly in
the centre with.biaball ; and, in,sport,
by a thousand feats of this - nature prov
-ed himself worthy of the name era
first-rate shot; - His amour piopire was'
'reified by the presence of Jack, whom'
the attendant, in , presenting .1 im with
the pistol, bad 'quietly said w s altiaiost
as:good shot as himself; buti at each
'-shot, instead of receiting @En -Jack
the tribute-of praisewhich he deserved,
he, heard . Jack ;in reply. to. the exclaini
tions of isfenieltment 'whteh Ooceeded
from all iti the gallery, say, " •Iti doubt,
. that is a very good shot; but-the result
would-be. very different Pie a . notion,
if he bad • a live 'than for his butt.-"
This,incessant. calling in, queiation 6C
,his pewits as a duellist,— tor Jack had,
repeated his iabseivatiott several" times,'
at first -astonished 'the ," tireur!' .andi
ended by 'annoying' hint ; and, at: len etti
tuning round to Jack, - and,i looking.--at
' him with an 'air half jesting 'end half
thteatening, he said, " Porgivme, Mr. i

" And 'Why;

" Forgive me," said Jack, «you
misunderstand me. t'falley that at the

another, he may tiemble from ,some
other .emotion than' that of Tear."

shot.

the cool reply.

‘ I warn you, you'd: fie somewhat
rash." •
Not at all," said Jack, " for I mere

my conviction is that I should risk bat
little."
Let us understand each other,"
said the Frenciiman ; you repeat - tn.me
a second time, that at twenty-fivepaces
I shalltuiss my. min.". •
You are. mistaken, monsieur,"

said Jack, .4 it appears to me that this
is the,fifth - time that I have said : it.".

The twtii'''young men entered their

and drove towarts4he Bettis de Bou

the seconds , wished to aft4lnge the mat

Jack's adversary -required an *logy,
whilst Jack maintained that he *ed
him, none, unless he himself was eithft:
killed or wounded '
;, for, unless this hap-
pened . , he (Jack) would _
- not have been
proved wrong. The seconds spent a
quarter of an hour, in the-attempt to e -
feet a reconciliation, but in vain. They
then wished to place theantagonists at
thirty paces frinn eachl other ; Lb this
Jack would not consent, observing that
the point in question could, not be cor
rectly decided, if any difference: were
made between the distance now tole .
fixed, and the distance .at which his an
tavoist had', the, in : the
