WHEEE THEY BEST.
In s little valley hallowed,
From the mountain! verdant ereit,
fa above the oeean'f level,
Far above the world'! gay revel,
Jrit beneath the vaulted heaven,
Where ita first pare breath ii given,
There they rest.
In tteapring the wild bee marmiri,
O'er the tod above them pressed ;
And fa bamming bird is dartinf ,
Pausing, hamming, lipping, starting.
Sipping nectar from the clover,
And the rosea beading over.
Where they rest.
There a little itreamlet glideth,
Smiling on like something bleat ;
And the fresh wind! from the mountain,
Joining with that sweet voiced fountain,
Sing a eeaaelesa long above them.
Fur all nature leemi to love them.
In their rest.
Sow the littlo 'Pleasant Valley,"
In a pure white robe ia dreased ;
And the wind in solemn measures,
Chant their dirge. and wondrous treasures,
Ermine robes and gems in keeping.
Winter easts above the sleeping,
Still tbey rest.
A TEXAN DUEL,
"FaYucwn that knife, or the conserjuen
ees be oritur own head. Put it down, I
ny," anfi &e hand of the speaker slowly
and d'ilibfcriitely raised a revolver.
It wa a Very anxious moment for the
lookers on. One of the combatants was t
brawny tuffir, upon whose face was stamp
h1 all the evil feassions of the human race.
Black haired, ilttck-bearded, black-eyed,
and strong enc.uglj to have felled an ox with
a single bluw of his fist The other was a
pale, slendrr.intellectiidi-looking young niah,
boy almost, with light curls and complexion,
and blue eyes. The jcene was irl the little
town of Washington, on the Brazos riVeh
in Texas, and the time midnight.
'"Dover know who yer talkin' to, boy?"
was the coarse and uneducated answer of
Lute Benton, than whom no gambler in
that vicinity was more detested and feared.
A man to whom (and not without reason)
was imputed every crime even that of mur
der; who was an unfailing shot with the
j'i.-tol and rifle, and unmatched in skill with
that strictly borderweapcn thebowie knife.
A short reside uce in that locality had given
bim a reputation as a duelist, for the long
gras of the tampas covered the forms of
two who had fallen by his hand. Where he
euue from uo one kner,aud he was particu
larly reticent about his former life. Still, it
ws whispered behind his back for no one
wis foolhardy enough to say it to his face
that he was one of the very few who escaped
from the terrible justice of "Natcbes under
the hill," when the outraged citizens awoke
in their wrath, and took speedy vengeance
ioto their own hands. Be that as it might,
he had already earned a name sufficiently
lad to need no additions even where the
Ft' majority of crimes were looked upon
liehtly making Texas in its infancy the par
tdise of scoundrels.
On the other hand, of his boy antagonist
wen less was k nown. It was but two days
now his arrival, and he had come on horse
tvland aione. Of his business he had
oothiag to say, but his suave manner, and
liiet, gentlemanly deportment bad already
tide him Mend? among the better portion
f the sparse population.
ery much to their surprise, therefore,
w it that they had seen him enter into a
wtejt at cards with the great professional
power, Bunion, confident that he would

a ose he was successful, which waa almost

"I care nothing for the money," was the
still calm response. ' 'It's nothing to me. ' '
"What do ye want, then ?"
'To prove that you are a coward at heart"
"No man ever lived that could prove such
a thing."
"dimply because you murdered them,Lake
Benton."
"Murdered ? but no, I'll not fight er boy.
"Because you dare not. But you shall
have no excuse," and Mark Whiteman spat
full in the face of the blood-stained gam
bler.
In an instant all was confusion. Benton
sprang forward with his knife upraised, and
would have cut down his insulter with i
blow. But others cid the same. Theyie
alized that blood must be shed, but they in
i.ted upon "fair play." Even in the hor
rible code of Texas dueling they demanded
that rules of honor (?) should be strictly ad
hered to.
"If you roust fight," said an old ranger,
"nd I see no way to avoid it now, it shall
be open and above board. It's your choice,
Benton. Pick your weapons, and stand up
and fight it out like a man."
"Fistols, then ten paces word!"
was
the gruff answer.
"Are you satisfied? was asked of White-
man.
"Yes, perfectly. Let him take his revol
ver I have mine. We will commence fir
ing at the word, and continue to do so, as we
advance, until one or both shall fall."
A few steps from the house brought them
to a spot where the green grass and bright
flowers had more than once been stained in
such encounters. The men were placed. the
weapons prepared, and the fatal word was
about to be given, when Whiteman called
the Ranger, (who was acting as his second)
and taking his hand within his own, whis
pered : "You appear to be a true-hearted
man and I wish to ask a favor of you."
"Speak on. Anything I can do shall be
done. Just say the word and I'll take vour
place."
"No, not that But if I should chance
to fall, promise that you will see me buried
as I am. Do not let my dress be disturbed
in the least. Roll me up in a blanket, and
let no one pry. around me after 1 am dead.
Will you proniifc'e me that ?"
"It is a strange thing to ask, but I will
doit"
"Then I am ready."
"Yes, I'll do it." repeated the ranger, as
he slowly retreated, muttering to himself,
"and if you fall I'll send a bullet through
the skull of him that kills you, and may the
good Lord forgive me if it is murder."
"Now, Luke Benton," continued White-
man, I am ready, l et, one word," and
he stepped to his side and banded him a
miniature. If I die, look at this.
"I'll do it now;" and with trembling
hands lie undid the la-p then let it drop
from his hand as if it had been a serpent,
exclaiming : "No, I'll not fight you. Take
him away, some one take him away, fur
God's sake."
"Not fight! Then you will die like a dog!"
and Whiteman raised his weapon and mo
tioned for the word to be given. It was
some time, however, before his request was
complied with. The sinewy frame of the
gambler trembled like a dry leaf in the au
tumn wind ; all the color left his face ; his
lips were like ashes ; his pistol was pointing '
downwards and shook in his hand. At
length he succeeded, by a mighty effort, in
caiWiig himself. He braced his nerves
glared Wildly around, and with all the calm
ness of despair, stood upon his guard.
"Are you ready both ready?" was asked.
"Yes I" fcame simultaneousiy from two
pairs of lips.
"One-two--three-MRt 1 '
The report of the pistols cut the last word
in twain. The seconds rushed forward and
lifted the men tip" again, for both had fallen.
One, however. Would never breathe more.
Luke Benton had fought his last duel had
gone to his final account with his heart bullet-cleft.
Whiteman, too was dangerously
wounded. With his breath bubbling forth
through blood, he called the ranger to him
and asked for the miniature. It was given
hirn the fair face of a young man. He
covered it with his bloody fingers, And whis
pered, "Bury it With me, and he, too, had
ceased to live."
With tearful eyes that form was prepared
for the grave, the ranger insisting that his
promise to the dead should be fulfilled to
the letter. But all saw sufficient to Convince
them that he who called himself Whiteman
was a young woman. And years later they
found a clue to the mystery. It was a wife
who had then revenged the murder of her
husband murdered for saving her from dis
honor. From a bloody grave in the chap-
perel, she had gone to join him she had
loved so well in the land that lies beyond the
dark river.
Was her last act one of sin ? It is not for
us U judge of such a thing. We know
nothing of the maddened heart and insane
brain know nothing of the long days and
longer nights of suffering ; nothing of how
we would act under such circumstances.
Better leave judgment to him who can read
both the mind and the heart, and whose
will directed the avenging bullet None
other is without sin, and who will dare to
cast the first stone ?
Some people appear to go on the princi
ple that they don't care how they dress
when they are away from home because no
body knows them; and when home they
don't care how they dress because every
body does know them.
'TO LET A DESIRABLE BESEDEfCE.'
Nine o'clock of a lovely April morning,
with the air breathing soft scents of bud
ding grass and early spring violets, while
overhead the blue sky stretched ita dar
ling dome, like an arch of glittering sap
phire! "It's spring in good earnest," said Mr.
Petro Peterson as he Bat at his window, lis
heels poised on the extreme outer ledge,
and a fragrant Havana perfuming the sur
rounding atmosphere. "Heighho! I can
almost fancy how the dandelions are star
ting over the hills of the old New Hamp
shire farm where I was born ! Who would
think that it was the twenty-sixth of April
already? And my house not let yet.
What can the real estate agents be think
ing of?"
Mr. Pctro Peterson was a stout, bald
headed gentleman of some six and forty
years of age, with bright hazel eyes, and a
neat.corapact littk figure one of thoemen
whose very air and gait.even though were he
never to speak a word, make the perpetual
proclamation, "I am a man of money and
position!"
"I don't see why Mrs. Parker wanted to
give up the house," went on Mr. Peterson,
in his unsyllabled soliloquy. "She says it's
because the price of board is falling, and
she can't afford to keep up (he establish
ment! A great mistake of hers, in my
opinion a great mistake ! She's the only
woman I ever knew who could make a real
French omelette, or knew what cafe noir
meant! Dear me! it's a sad, unsettled
state of affairs for me ! I'm almost tempted
to wish almost, I say that I had married
some nice, sensible little girl twenty good
years ago; tor dear me, what can all
that ringing at the bell mean ? Why don't
Mrs. Parker answer it? Do the people
mean to pull the wire out bodily. I won
der."
lie had just tossed his cigar out of the
window, with the intention of himself has
tening to the rescue, when a red-handed
servant girl came np to his apartment,
breathless and eager.
"What is it, Hanna?" he cried, iraci-
bly.
"If ye plase, sir, the misthress is gone to
mar-r-ket, an there's no one to show the
house. I tould 'em, would they come again
but they said perhaps Mr. Payterson would
oblige 'em."
"Very cool of 'em upon my word?"
cried Mr. Peterson, mentally execrating the
whole race of house-hunters. "Tell 'em
we don't show the house except between
the hours of ten and two tell em "
"I beg your pardon, Mr. Peterson,"
cried a voice as soft and snruhtly as the
notes of the blue-bird, "but mamma and I
have so many places to go to, and we
thought you wouldu't mind our seeing the
house I"
It was Jeaunic Cope, a brown-eyed, dim
ple-cheeked little fairy, with curls like the
April sunshine, a fresh complexion, and
the trimmed of all imaginable figures. And
Mr. Peterson's wrath melted away like a
morning vapor before her pretty insolence
of demeanor, as she stood in the doorway
balancing a fairy parasol on her finger, and
looking with sancy artlesshess round his
bachelor sanctum, while Mrs. Cope's ma
tronly countenance appeared in the back
ground. Petro Peterson kicked a stray slipper un
der the table, and threw his dressing-gown
over a huge meerschaum stand, striving to
appear as disembarrassed as possible.
"Very happy to see yOu, I'm sute," he
said, turning red, and wishing he had "ti
died up" a little before he sat down to his
matutinal cigar. "Anything I can do for
you-"
'Tori can allow us the privilege of look
ing at your house," said Jeannie, eoaxing
ly. "I that is, mamma has got to move,
and although the rent of this house must of
course be very high, she Thought, by taking
a few boarders, she might contrive to meet
expenses!"
"Exactly so," said Mrs. Cope.
"Are you going lo move elsewhere?"
asked Jeannie, of our hero, as she glanced
at the half packed trunks.
"My landlady Is," groaned Mr. Peterson.
"It's awful to be at the mercy of a landlady
Miss Cope!"
"But it's all your fault!" cried Jeannie,
With a roguish sparkle in her lovely blue
eyes.
"All my fault?"
"To be sure why didn't vou get mar
ried?"
"Because I was a fool 1" said he, inspir
ed by the roses on Jeannie's cheek, and the
coral of her laughing lip.
"And why don't you get married now?"
pursued the relentless little sprite.
"Would you," asked Mr. Peterson,
"If you were me?"
"Of course I would. Get married and
board with us. Mamma will give you this
room, and "
"My dear !" said Mrs. Cope.
"My dear madam," cried Mr. Peterson,
still with his eyes fixed on Jeannie's lovely
face, "I assure you I think it is an excellent
idea!" .
And all through their journey from cellar
to French roof, while Mrs. Cope considered
the relative advantages of this room and
that, and Jeannie fluttered to and fro like a
graceful little humming bird, Mr. Peterson
kept revolving this same "excellent idea"
in his own mind.
"Miss Jeannie," he said, somewhat awk
wardly, as they returned down stairs, "sup
posing I should ahem adopt your sugges-
... f - ,
tion, what would be your xancy m xurnisn
ing a suit of rooms "
"Let me see said Jeannie, I d paper
the room in white and gold, and I'd fill the
windows with canary birds and plants, and
I'd have s brae carpetr and blue silk chairs
and sofas."
"You like blue?"
"Very much k ia toy favorite color."
Blue it shall be, then f" cried the de
lighted bwetelor. "Mrs. Cope if you should
decide to take tbe boose, you will please re
serve these rooms for me, and and Mrs.
Petterson, at fifty dollars a week !"
"I shall be very trappy, sir," said Mrs.
Cope. "Jeannie, stop laughing; you be
have exactly like little school girl. You
will give me tiff f 0-Worrow morning sir, to
decide?"
''Certainly, ma'am certainly."
And with a tender pressure to Jeannie's
little white velvet hand, Mr. Pttro Peter
son bowed tbe widow and her pretty daugh
ter down the brown stone steps.
"It's as good as settled," muttered Mr.
Peterson, rubbing his hands complacently.
"By Jove! she's grown to be the pretties
gin in town. airs, retro feterson! it
don't sound so very badly, after all. IU.
show the poung slips what the old bachelor
can do in the way of matrimony."
As he turned,chuckling,to enter the front
door, already in imagination leading Jennie
Cope to the flower decked alter, alight foot
fall sounded on the steps behind him, and a
slender, good looking young man of some
four or five and twenty stood beside him.
"Good mornine. Uncle. "he cried. hntVi-
lessly.
"Good morning Joe," returned Mr. Pe
terson, todding to Mr. Joseph Franklin, his
only nephew. ''What brings you here in
such a hurry?"
"Is your house let yet, uncle?"
"Yes no I don't exactly know," re
sponded Mr. Peterson, a little awkwardly.
"What does it matter to you whether it
is or not, hey, yon young scapegrace?"
"Much, sir. To tell you tbe truth, I
was thinking of renting it myself."
"You !"
"Yes, L I'm going to be married next
week, uncle."
"A very sensible plan," said Mr. Peter
son, beamingly.
"I'm glad you approve of it, sir ; and in
case my wife and I conclude to take a few
boarders, can I have your promise to con
sider you as one?"
. "That is, ia case you take this house?"
"Yes."
"I can't promise ; in fact, I think I have
already engaged myself," said Mr. Peter
son, importantly. "To speak plainly, Joe,
I've some idea of marrying myself."
- "You uncle?" exclaimed Franklin in
amazement.
"And why not?" testily demanded Mr.
Petro Peterson, his bald crown turning
pink with excitement "I'm not Methu
selah ; neither am I a Catholic priest Why
thouldCnt I get married?"
"There's no reason on earth why you
should'nt, uncle," responded Joe, smoth
ering a laugh ; "only, you see, you took me
rather by surprise. In that case, why
should'nt we have the pleasure of accomo
dating both Mrs. Peterson and yourself?""'
"Because, sir," said Mr. Peterson, sen
tentiously ''because my mother-in-law
that is to be takes boarders, in a genteel
sort of way and I've all but promised my
self to her."
"All but There's a chance, then.of "
"A very slender one," unwillingly admit
ted Mr. Peterson, "
"And if you should make no other ar
rangement, you will let us have the house?"
"Y' yes, I suppose so."
"There can be no harm in my bringing
her to look at the house this afternoon, af
ter office hours ?"
"No, I suppose not."
And with this ungraciously accorded per
mission, Joseph Franklin was forced to be
content, while Mr. Peterson Went back to
his room to think about Jeannie Cope.'
"I do believe I am in love," thought Our
middle-aged hero. "I'll take a cigar no I
won't, either. Jeannie may object to
smoking, and a man that's as good as mar
ried ought to be a little careful about such
things'
He was making a little pencil estimate
about the probable cost of refurnishing the
apartments he occupied with velvet and
satin, according to Jeannie's not particular
ly economical ideas, that fame afternoon,
when Joseph Franklin entered, flushed and
proud.
"She's down in the parlor, uncle."
"Is she?" said Mr. Peterson. "Sixty
nine ana three are seventy-two; and twice
that is"
"You'll come down and see her uncle,"
persisted Joe, impatiently.
"In a minute. Twelve and sixteen, and
there, then, Joe, how can a man add np
his accounts with you stamping round the
room like a wild buffalo? Yes, yes, I'll go
down and see her, and then perhaps I shall
have a little peace of my life."
He gollowed nis nephew resignedly down
to the parlor, thinking, the while, of far
other things, and suffered himself to be led
to the little sofa in the bay window, where
a slender young lady was sitting, toying
rather nervously with a parasol
"Uncle." said Joe, proudly, "this Is my
promised wife. Jeannie, this is uncle Petro
Peterson.
"Jeannie Cope !" gasped the astounded
bachelor.
"You'll give me a kiss,jieZe,won't you?"
said Jeannie, putting np her coral lips in the
most bewitching way in the world. "I said
it was mamma, this morning ; but it was re
ally Joe and I that wanted the house."
"It was, eh?" said Mr. Peterson, with a
curious commingling of sensations.
"Yea, and you know you promised to get
married and board with us. He did indeed
Joe."
The bachelor burst into a hysterical laugh.
"I was only joking," he said. "Married,
indeed ! I'm not such a fool yet. Give me
the kiss, Jeannie. I'll sty here, but I'll
not furnish the rooms this year."
So tbe love-dream faded out of Mr. Pe
tro Peterson's mature life. And the'bill
was takn off the front door; and Mrs. Jo
seph Franklin has learned to make an ome
lette that suits even the fastidious ta'ste of
her uncle-in-law.
"And it's just as well tbst Fate saved me
from making a fool of myself," says Mr.Pe
terson, exultantly.-.

Prwteetio to Home Industry.
At a public meeting of the friends of do
mestic industry, held in Philadelphia, April
2d, 18C8, the following reoiotioDs were
unaninrtarsly adopted :
Whereas, The Congressional Committee
of Ways and Means is instructed to consider
the propriety of revising the Tariff latfs.and
to recommend to Congress at its next ses
sion such legislation upon that subject as
may seem to be expedient; therefore.
Resolved, That the following statement be
presented to the said Committee as embody
ing tbe views of the productive industries
of this country.
First. That tho development of our owe
resources and the firm" possessio not' our own
markets are much more important than for
eign commerce to the welfare of all the
people of this nation, to tbe solvency of the
government, and to the attraction of the
better class of immigrants ; and that by no
other method can a durable resumption of
specie payments be attained than by increas
ing American production and checking im
portation. Secondly. That to maintain such posses
sion of our own markets, and thus to attain
financial independence, we must be able to
produce at home nearly all the manufactur
ed articles needed by our people, including
those which reauire the facilities of great
establishments, of many workmen trained
to special arts, and of large capital, and we
must also be constantly undertaking those
new industries which the advances in the
arts and the progress of civilization re
quire. Thirdly. That is is impossible for such
great establishments to prosper, fur smaller
ones to spring up, and for the new indus
tries to take root under a fickle and unfriend
ly policy which holds them constantly in fear
ot revulsions.
Fourthly. That as a means of promoting
regular growth in the productive powers of
our country, it is the duty of the Govern
ment to announce, adhere to and steadfastly
act upon the policy of defending its citizens
in their iedustrial conflict with foreign na
tions, of assuring to those who are support
ing the Government a marked preference in
our markets over aliens who are our rivals
in peace snd our foes in war, and of oblig
ing foreigners who wish to reap the advan
tage of the better markets created by our
institutions, to pay toll upon the goods they
send here, and thus share the expense of
maintaining those institutions.
Fifthly. That a policy of firm and steady
protection to American industry being dis
tinctly announced,a general tariff law should
be framed embracing the entire range cf im
ported goods and superceding all former tariff
laws, the duties being made specific so far as
conveniently possible,and high enough to af
ford fair wages and reasonable profits to such
American workiugmen and employers as
apply themselves with assiduity, skill Wid
intelligence to industries suited to our condition-tuid
resources. The schedule prepared
by the Pennsylvania Iudustrial League, which
is founded mainly upon the legislation (un
fortunately not concurrent) of both Houses of
Congress, and upon the report of the Com
missioner of the Revenue, and which, while
largely increasing the free list arid convert
ing numerous ad valorem into specific duties.
reduces the rates Upon many articles, and
proposes but moderate increase in any case,
is worthy of attention as a serious effort by
compeltnt persons to frame a symmetrical
system of duties on imports.
Sixthly. That in order to diminish the la
bor of Congress and to expedite those future
modifications in tariff legislation which the
new industries or the changes of trade may
from time to time render desirable, some de
partment, bureau, or commission, should be
created, specifically charged with the duty
of keeping watch over this subject with au
thority to examine witnesses, make investi
gations, hear statements, and to submit to
Congress at the opening of each session a
brief report, accompanied, when necessary,
by a draft of a bill embodying such legisla
tion as may seem expedient
Seventhly. Experience having clearly
shown that the maintenance of domestic pro
duction is the only sure method for reducing
the prices of manufactured goods,itis grossly
unjust to the employers of operatives who
ask for the legislation needful for keeping
their bands employed, to charge tnem witn
endeavoring to aegrandize themselves at the
expense of the public. They do not desire
or expect for themselves or their employees
to escape from tbe toil and stnte wnicn are
the common lot of man, but they protest
against being obliged to follow the employ
ers of other countries in experimenting on
the degree of degradation and misery which
can be endured by a laboring por-ulation.and
they claim that our national legislation should
be such as Jo enable our producing classes to
enjoy civilizing influences, and to permit
employers to acquire solidity enough to give
steadiness to manufacturing pursuits.-
Retolved, That a committee consisting of
Messrs. Joseph Wharton, Henry C. Lea,
William Sellers and Morton M' Michael, be
appointed to present the foregoing state
ment to the Committee of Ways and Means
with power to confer with that Committee,
and to take such action in the premises as
may conduce to the common welfare.
