TOW AND A:
tUebncoban Amino, October 11,1848.
Thy cheek is pale witkraarty cares,
Thy brow is overcast,
And thy fair face a shadow wears,
That tells of sorrows past; '
But music hath thy tongue for me;
How dark soe 4 r my lot may be
tarn for comfort, love, to thee,
My beautiful, my wife!
Thy gentle eyes are not so bright
As when I woo'd thee first,
Yet still they have the same sweet light,
Which long my heart bath oared :
They have the-same enchanting twins— •
Which charmed me in love's early dream,
And still with joy on mg they stream,
• .ftly beautdel, my wife I
Whin all without !Oohs dark and cold,
And voices change their tone,
Nor greet me as the,• did of old;
I feel I am not lone,
For thou, my love, art aye the same,
And looks; aml deeds thy faith proclaim;
Tho' all should scorn, thou wouldst hot blame,
My beatiful, my wife!
A shadow comes across my heart,
And overclouds my fate,
Whene'r I think thou may'st depart
And leave me desolate;
For as the wretch who treads alone
Some, gloomy path in wilds unknown,
Such should i be if thou wart gone,
Itiv beautiful, my wife!
If thou wert dead, the flowers might spring,
But I would heed them not.
The merry birds might soar and
They coilld not cheer my lot,
Before me dark deFpair would rise
And spread a pall-o'er earth anti skies,
If shone no more thy hiving eyes,
My beautiful, my wife!
And those dear eyes have shone through tears,
But never looked unkind;
For shattered hopes and troubled years
Still closer seemed to bind
Thy pure and trusttngart to mine,
Not for thyself didst thou repine, '\
But all thy hu'sband's grief was thine,/
My beautiful, my wife !
,When, at the eventide. I see
My children throng around.
And now the love of them and thee,
My spirit still is bound
To earth, despite of every care ;
I feel my soul can do and dare
$o long as thou my lot dost share.
Mr beautikl, my wife'
A DUEL EV V.F.ORGIL.
Ii ;the bar-room of a rude tavern and post-house
in the western part of Georgia, around a rough deal
table, ornamented with two or three old newspa
pers, were seated nine or ten persons—overseers,
book-keepers, and small planters., As the weather
was intensely hot, the party had cause to be thirsty;
and thirsty enough they were, if one might judge
from their incessant portations of mint•julep, sher
ry-cobbler, sangaree, and divers other species of
those American beverages. the names of which are
as singular as their flavor is delicious. The party
sad for some time been engaged in a tioud and
boisterous political conversation, when they were
suddently interrupted by— - •
"What are you making all /his jaw about I"
On hearing this gentkmanfy querry, the assetn
blage turned their eyes upon
..the speaker of it with
a stare of astonishment and rage; which, however
was instantly converted into an eperssion of undis
guised consternation, as soon as they fully recog
nised the new comer.
In the door-way stood a man at least six feet
three inches in height, and stout in proportion. His
features were most essentially villanouii, and his
large grey eygs gleamed with an expression that
was absolutely fiendish. Every thing about him
had a ferocious aspect, from the dilapidated white
musk-rat hat that was fiercely cocked on one side
of his head, to the clumsy and muddy shoes that
pretected his huge feet : while the butts of two
horse-pistols peeping out ;from the breast of his
waistcoat, gave the finishing touch to the picture
As he stared savagely on the company, they forgot
every thing but the formidable monster before
them—Meriwether Ganalt, the bully of Sodom
and Gomotrah:
This interesting personage lived some fifteen
miles off, close to the Alabama frontier. The real
name of his place eif residence (if it had ever
been regulary christened by the Goi;emment sur
vey) had long ago been forgotten ; but it was uni
versally known throug,hotit the district by the ap
pellation we have just given it. it was a perfect
Alsatia, within the magic limits of which no sheriff
dare shew.himself. Here Gamble lorded it over a
plantation of eighty or ninety slaves ; and here he
presided over a gang of miscileants, whose doings
. were the terror of the country for fifty miles round.
Every one of them had in his day murdered at
least one white man, counting Indians and negroes
for nothing ; and theirehlets had been outlawed a
dozen times, for as many atrocious crimes. At
that very moment there was a price of 500 dollars
on his bead. Several- attempts had been made,
both by the legal authorities and by private individ
uals, to take him dead or a live, but they bad id
ways failed most signally. 0.1 one of these cidea,
sions he was said to have killed, or mortally woun
ded, five men, single-handed. Such being his
chapeter, it was no wonder that his appearance in
Major Lawsores barroom struck Macs into all Its
occupants. But lam tong in saying all; for as
he looked round triumphantly upon -the cowering
assemblage, there was one man who cast back on
him a gaze as haughty as his owe. As thia person
was, moreover, distuign.ished by being the only
individual present who could by any stretch of cour
tesy be called a gentleman, he deserves more par
ticular mention.

.The Ion? yeais 'Which
between Sabailea age*/ his
majority, were passed without much profit to him
tell or any one case. He was nominally studying
for the law; batlike many young men Ortorturn,
only did so that he might have the credit of belong
ing to some profession. This sort of life, howev
er, did not last for aver.
At the period of which we are speaking, the
American commercial world was kn i ghting to re
cover from the great explosion of 1'837 ; or, indeed,
we may Say that it had nearly recovered. But du
ring the continuance of the great panic, Mr. Schuy
ler, had in, common with hundreds of his brother
merchants, became a bankrupt.
He had but one cause of satisfaction—no small
one, it must be confessed, to an honest man 1 .-not
one creditor lost a cent by him. Having it length
wound up . his affairs, ...he found himself, as he
would have expressed it, with a capital of half
nothing to begin life again. He became a clerk
in a house far inferior to that of which he had been
the:head ; his daughters took in needle-work ; and
his sone determined to get his living as a teacher,
Unwilling to remain in his native city, amid scenes
of ltizury in which he could no longer participate,
young Schuyler endeavored to obtain a tutorship in
the south. Having heard of an excellent one in
Alabamy, he made instant application for it; and
secured it over several competitors, by dint of Pro
festior Anthon's testimonials. He then made his
will, took leave of his friends, bought a pair of pis
tols and dirk, and made such other preparations as
a man usually does who is about to leave a civilizd
for a barbarous country. Thus far, however, be
had penetrated in safety to within sixty miles of his
destination ; and was now waiting at Major Law
son's hotel for the mail-stage, which was expected
iu a few hours, inr days. as the state of the roads
and other contingencies might determine. As we
have found him in rather dangerous company, it
may not be amiss to add a word respecting his
qualifications, in case of a row. His height did not
exceed five feet tett, and none of his proportions
were large; but he was symmetrically built, pos
sessed great strength and greater agility ; and was,
moreover, a tolerable scientific pugilist. On the
whole, notwithstanding their disparity in rize, a
worse antagonist might has; been found for the re.
doubted Nieriwedier Gamble.
We left that gentleman standing in the doorway
of the bar-room, and looking most rantancorously,
as a Kentuckian would say, upon the terrified com
pany. Having waited about two minutes, possi
bly: in the hope of receiving an answer to his first
interrogation, he thus delivered himself of his opin
ions on things in general.
"So'you're all quiet sow. You were making
noise enough just now, when I came in. What's
the matter? Paps you don't know Tel" The
countenances of all expressed that they sincerely
wished they did not. u I'm a
,pifect steam-boat,
with a considerable sp4kling' of the comet. I can
knock down and drag put a whole regiment, whip
my weight in Indians, swallow a buffalo whole,
and pick my , tenth with the horns. And its my

which practical appliCation of his somewhat desul.
ory remarks, tne bully ejected a torrent of tobacco

ed boots of the. New-Yorker,.who involuntaryily
shook his foot as 'a man might do who had step:
ped into a puddle.
The rest of the company were not • sorry to see
• the insult, which had been' oflined to all present,
thus particularly fixed upon the stranger, who was
. .
thus bound to take np 'the quarrel ; but they very
much doubted if he would show fight. They had
not song to doubt. Schuyler rose from his seat,
and silencing, close to the huge 'ruffian, asked, in
a cool and unpassioned tone :
" Did you intend to spit on my boot, sir!"
Gamble appeared speechless-with astonishment
and rage.
"I ask, did you intend to spit on my boot, sir!"
"Spit on yOur boot ! I'll spit in your face next
time !"
Very - possibly he might have pioceeded to put
his threat into execution ; but Hanel Washis inten
tion, Schuyler gave him no time to performs it, fok
on receiv.ingthe above response ; he instantly plan
ted his &t, with 'ill the emphasis he could com
mand, full in the Georgian'schest. So enemetical
ly a n d skilfully was the Wore given that the giant
reeled back, and, with scarcely -an effort to save
himself, toppled over on the floor.
Had this result been brought about by a miracle,
the company could not have been more stupified—
that the strohgest man that they had ever seen
should be knocked down at one blow by a fellow
who seemed hardly a mouthful for him ! Bat they
had no longspace for their wendeing cogitalious;
for Gamblasuddenly sprung from the Hopi with a

Three men immediately caught bold of Schiller,
and fear surrounded Gamble. The billigerento
Fere dauctlesi not at all sorry: to be separated ;
though Gamble made a show of resistance, and
swore terribly at those about him. And now, Ma
jor Lawson, who being on his Own premises felt
authorised roars - urging a little authority, proceeded
to.explain his views on the subltct, and ended a
short but characteristic speeciir-s , Let'em have a
pair of pistols and a Bowie a piece, nothing else
put 'em in a dark room togethrth and let'em fight
it out like gentlemen."
This proposition was received with a shout. The
room selected for the duel was a sort of garret,
which, having. no window, Sias.reduced to a state
of total darkness by closing the door. To this the
combatants were conducted, and immediately
commenced their preparations for the encounter,
in which they were assisted by all present. After
being provided with weapons, Gamble kicked oil
his shoes, am! Schuyler pulled of his boots, rolled
up his trowsem a little way, and cut off his straps,
for fear the buttons_should r make a noise. The Ma
jor suggested that they had better take oil their
coats also, which they accordingly did ; and Schuy
ler„ while giirmg, his to the landlord, made this
brief testamentary disposition :
" Major," said he, " it's highly probable that one
of us two will never go out of this room till he's
carried.. If I happen to be the one, you'll find -on
me a silver watch, a silver pencil-case, and thirty
dollars in New York bills. See that Urn decently
buried, and keep the balance for your trouble."
""1 say-, Major," growled Gamble,"juit fix me
a good stiff mint-julep, and have it ready for me in
fifteen minutes. Don't forget, now !"
• These were the last words the combatants opal: • .
Almost every one had left the room ex w.
'son ; who now stationed the paries leXspposite
corners, asked if they were quite readY, and on re
ceiving affirmative response, ' them good
bye, and locked the door n them, leaving them
together,"to fight it ou -e gentlemen.
The first thing which each did was to change his
place five or six - feet : after which they remained
some time.itiactive. The difficulties of their posi
tion wilrlie readily appreciated. If one of the du
elist advanced upon the other, with the intention of
coming to close quarters, he might by some slight
noise expose 'himself to his antagonist's fire, or
might run unawares upon the point of a knife or
the muzzle of* pistol. II he fixed without being
shure of his man, the flash of his pistol would guide
the enemy in returning the shot. The most natu
ral comae was for them to wait, each in the ' hope
otexhausting his opponent's patience, and tempt
ing him to commit some impudence.
In this way they watched each other, or rather
watched for each other, for about ten minutes;
when at length Schuyler thought' he detected the
cat-like gleam of his antagonist's grey eyes at the
opposite aide of the-garret. Turning his left side
in that direction, and -Winging his right arm across
his breast, be peered more, eagerly than before
into the darkness. .Ris suspicion was increased , to
certainty ;—he fired: Instantlythe fire was return
ed ; and his left arm, which he had involuntary
raised, fell shattered by bis sidn. In the agony of
the moment, helm:tried the discharged pistol acme
the room. As it struck harmlessly on the rough
logs which formed the side-walls, be,heard a low
taunting chuckle. Homan nature could not bear
it ;--he fire:l,l'pin, almost a random. Again the
fire was resumed;—the ball piereeing his side,
and, overcome by, pain and loss of blood, he fell
heavily to the floor, while onother fiendish laugh
sounded in bis ears.
But thongh sorely wounded, Schuyler was nos
yet hors ifs combat: Raising himself - with seine
difficulty to a sitting posture,. be drew his
prepared td sell his life as dearly as possible; mai
hoping that his enemy would assail him before he

--!•—pwhich made a great impeathin on. as, end
which we wish we calk] repeat 'With the iinctim
and nautical phraseology of the worthy narrator
dL occured during, the {art war: The Captain,
wholes:La native of Plymouth, (Mass.) was run
ning on the coast in a schooner laden with flour.--
lie bid nearly reached his death:ahem, when be
was overhauled by one of .the enemy's frigates,
who ordered him peremptorily to heave a line
aboard.
i t`• There was no resisting the comman.!,' for 't
.e
schooner was without arms, and the tender full of
marines and sailors armed to-the teeth with pistols,
muskets and cutlasses. The captain had 'a light
but fair breeze aloft, his snail, and be Was dririfig
on to a reef, the enterince to which he was perfect
ly familiar-with , and once inside which, he was sure
of making port, undisturbed by the tender.
In this view he ordered one of the men forward
with the line, and in clear, stentorian voice, pre,
tartly audible on board the tender sang out:
" Heave your line aboard!" then added he, auto
vote, so as to be heard only by his men. ",heave
it short r
The Yankee sailor caught the hint, and " hove"
according to directions. The end.of Me line splash
ing in the water.
High above the execrations of the• English officer
commanding the tender, rose the roar of the intlig
cant Yankee skipper.
" Is that the way you heave a line, yerrhabberly
sort of a land crab t Heave the line iti ship-shape,
or I'll cut our liver out ! Heave It shod."
Again the line fell short and the English o ffi cer
and Yankee captaitvieyl-With each other in show
ering imprecations and invectives on the head of
the blundering,'" landlubber." Meanwhile . the
breeze was,freshing, and the• schooner dnewing
nearer reef.
and vain the order to heave was given,
tth the -same undertone addition, and the same
result. The Englishman began to smell a rat, and
just as the Yankee captain threw himself flat on
the deck, and made his men follow his example,
the report of a dozen muskets was heard, and a
shower of bullets came whizzing, through the rig
ging.
" Let em tue and be darned !"said the captain—
",l'll show them a clean pair of heeLs."
Arid taking his tiller between his heels, as he lay
urn the deck, he nut the schooner cleverly inside
the reeL ,
They were soon out of gun shot from the baffled
tender. Up went the stars and stripes,with a hear
ty cheer from the marinas, and t the old one-eyed
sea-dog pulled out a rusty fife, and.gave them Yan
kee Doodle in strains as melodious as the triumph
ant notes of a porker that has escaped the butcher's
knife. Captain Jacob saved his bacon and flour
too.
Law. Nevis.—All animals, except those that
prowl at night, retirem rest, soon after the sun goes
down, from which we may conclude that Nature
intends that the human-speciesehould follow their
example. It is from the early hours of sleep, which
are the most sweet and refreehing, that the re-ac
cumulation of muscular rem and bodily strength
takes place, as well as of that due excitability of
the brain i 3dispensable to the exertion of our wak

order in that sleep may be refreshing, is neces

the day, to eV a light eupper, or none at all, avoid

hair mattress with a light covering of bed-clothes,
in a room freelyverttilated. It is well known that
the Doke a Wellington, now a hale old man, is ac
customed to sleep on a narrow bard pellet ; and we
believe the conch of her Majesty is also of the sim

had begun 10 decline, but still burnt with a fervent

the mainsail was trailed up, in order to allow the
