Emily brought to bearitpon him the batteries of her sprightly wit, while Kate adroitly laid the mine of apparent queenly indifference. As yet, though it was evident that Richard admired both, his preference was not known—perhaps be hard ly knew himself which one he thought the most charming. But during this exposition of claims of the fi rsts, a lively conversation had been going on Tbe last new novel and the opera bad been dis cussed, as well as some of their mutual friends, and in the midst of some wickedly witty remarks of Emily on a would be fashionable lady, a loud voice was heard in the ball.

Adams on subjects with which be waik familiar, and shortly after he, with Miss Archer, took leave. Kite could have cried with vexation, as she thought of the sarcastic and ludicrous description of the seencorbich Emily would delight in giving, but she controlled herself. She was a !tied hearted girl, and could not forget the visits she bad paid her dear uncle and aunt Adams, or Ben's untir ing efforts to make her happy when at his fath er's house She resolved to repay him now, and her graciousness of mariner ate *ciliated poor Beo, as she made all aorta of inquiries about the old farm. No sooner had Richard 'Millen, with Was Archer, left the souse, than'slie began, with all her powers of sarcasm, as Kate bad foresees, to ridicule the scene they witnessed, Mr. :Warren smiled bat seemed absent. "I had no idea that the Beanett's had such vulgar relations, continued well kneswiag that the fastidious Richard Warren would con sider this a serious objectiao to the woman of his choice. " Notwithstanding all Kate Bennett:eel/gum there is a oertain something= about the family that betrays low blood." " Yes," returned Warren, hardly knowing what he said, and feeling that she bad gained one point, Emily walked on,iu the best possible spit.. its, internally triumphing over the discomfiture of her rival. That evening at the opera, who 'odd be at Kate's side but cousin Ben,- dressed in elegant taste, and evidently much interested in the per formance, while Miss Bennett listened with polite attention to his frank and sensible criticisms. At parties, too, he was her attendant; and this open acknowledgement of her relation quite blunted the point of Emily's satires. Mr. Ben nett assiso-d the youth to a situation, and very speedily his rusticity wore off He had both good looks and good sense, under his cousin's judicious training he very soon did her no dis credit, even among the crowd of flue gentlemen that surrounded her Emily Archer yaw all, sod bit her lip in vex. tattoo She could but acknowledge the superior• ity of Kate'r strategy, and the bad triumphed in the evont which she had hoped would bumilate her From that time Richard Warren was her eon stain attendant, and ere lon • be bad openly ao "?Iv dear Kate,'• he said, shortly after Weft h: tm+thal, " I shall never cease to thank Muslim Ben for airing me my bride I admired you as 1..•11e, but his e ,, ming and your reception of him pr .v, d t ii:if yon were something better than a mere fine lady'—that you were a true woman, 61. .t with that greatest oral! attractions, a heari. l' wless „ dorm at, that you owe him ei,glet of gratitude alnu—that you ate as happy as am."

We thought we were ones witnesses and participants of a droll adsenture on one of the New York railroads, when a lot of hungry and blood-thirfty Rungari. an leeches getting from a jar in which they were confined, spread themselves promiseuously over the lower limbs of the pessenicera, and comments.. ed feeding to the great surprise and consterna tion of all ; but the English story is far more ludicrous, and we intend spinning it out a little in our own way. It seems that in a four passenger ear on the Loudon railroad there were two travellers on the occasion in question One was a civil, quiet, modest, well behaved gentleman, the other who eat opposite to him, was a lady, °fair, fat, and forty," who was also of modest mien and con duct.. The train had hardly commenced moving when the lady suddenly jumped up, and with a crimson fifth on her countenance, exclaimed • " Row dare you ?" " Dare what ?" said the gentleman in smog. ishment. `Juanlt me in that maaner," *continued the lady, still swelling with indignation. " I am not aware that I have insulted you in any way, form or altalDer, " retorted the rot:lo wan, inuocence , and inquiry depicted in every lineament of his countenance. " Well, don't touch me again," continnll the lady ; " if you'do, 111 call the guard." The gentleman sat marvelous, but silent, won. doing what strange conceit bad got into his fel low traveller's head, when suddenly she sprang up a second time, and in a fresh burst of indigna, .ke out with : anarried woman, and your Vittaki n re' rui g i : 111 11fillsbie.' ) _ " But my dear 11111aster7,-- _ got into your head? What do you mean?' " I mean I will not be insulted. You mistake my character, sir, if you think I'll put up with such impudence. Yon are an impudent, good for nothing puppy, that's what you. are," and with fishing eyes she resumed her seat. The gentleman was still wondering at the st range conduct of the lady, totally unconscious that he had given her the least eaune of offence, when suddenly she started up a third time with the ejaculation— ' Keep your hands to yourself. if my hus band were bete, be would pitch you out of the window. I'll have you arrested the moment the , ear* stop. Keep raw bands off, I say r "What hands" what do you mean ? you talk like a erary woman, and I believe you are in• wine," was the response of the bewildered gen tleman. "Let g.. my legs" broke from the lady,jump. ing up aguin, ate tl.l time in a perfect frenzy of passion. " I don't know snytbieg about your legs, never touched these WI my life ; never want to touch them You're crazy as Bedlam ; you're a candidate fur the first lunatic asylum. on the road, and I'll hare you arrested the moment the ears stop," put in the gentleman with honest in• dignati. " I'll have you arrested fur taking impudent liberties with me," responded the lady, an equal amount of virtuous excitement manifest in her countenance. In five minutes more the train stopped, there was a violent letting down of windows in the car occupied by the two enraged passengers, and a loud duet of cries or shouts of " eondue tor," "guard," " anybody! this way," followed from the twain. What' s the matter?' inquired the anxious conductor, as he poiked his bead into tho ear in haste " This woman is as crazy aa s loon—mad sq a March hare—take her out :" said the gentle. man. "And thia min has been pinching my legs all the way from Loudon, the impudent scamp," retorted the lady, glaring furiously in his face. A quiet smile came over the face of the con ductor, u ho remarked that be thought he could explain the matter at issue. And reaching his band under the lady's seat, be drew out a live goose which he had placed there a few momenta before the train started, not Supposing tat the oar would be occupied. The lags of the aquatic animal had bees tied all the while, but he had been musing himself by pecking away at the lower limbs of the lady. We think that this may be well tolled a new phase, if not a settler, of the vexed ,‘‘ goose question." Tun Drina BOY AND THN Vioutra.--A little sufferer larin a high, dreary garret; sad the beams above his head and on every side were black and foul. His cheeks were scarlet with the flush of fever, and the unnatural light of his eye Sashed in the dimness of the taming evening like a diamond on its gloomy bed of an thracite.

It is the envy of the one sex and the admiration of the other It inspires poetry, eloquence and art, and forms the life breath and being of the political work! Some philosophers endeavor to degrade this glorious attribute by the contemptuous epithet of " mere brute bravery," as if the unreflecting ferocity of the wild beast could be compared with the conscious cottage of intelligent man. The lion and the tiger, in their most bloody battles have at most but a dim perception of the fatal consequences to result from their encounters, and therefore their fury 'tows from animal impulse, without fear only because without the sense of individual peril. But what we admire in the rational hero is the bravery of a soul acquainted with all the danger, and yet defiant of death, tho' marshalled face to face with that almighty foe; felt in this case the prowess must be in a great degree mental and voluntary, rather than physical—a pure manifestation of the will ft more than than the effect of organisation. Nevertheless, there are strange mysteries, caprices connected with the subject, the val di ffi culties which at other times furnis e 3rr chief amusement and delight.— Some ineii are heroes only when intoxicated.— Others borrow all their bravery from the passions love and revenge Many fight well in the ranks of an army, yet fly in terror from an inch -4671.±1 e t .

As it may naturally be suppos ed, they become wonderfully expert in the nes le their deadly implements. I have frequentlj, seen them stand, and, without a treater or token of affright, Lew each other in pieces, until one or both of the adversaries rusk down' dead or exhausted. But woe to the unfortunate enemy Who did not possess their marvelous dexterity with the naked dagger : The first blow, one mortal M e z. ican stab, always, in such oases, tenni/anted the struggle by piercing the faineant's heart . Among the most notorious duellists in this savage species of eonfliet, Pedro Palacio*, pf Brownsville, was altogether pre-eminent. We boasted, and doubtless with entire truth, of hav ing slain a score of men on the ltio Grande, be sides unknown numbers in other parts of Mexi co He followed the profesAvn of a gambler, and therefore wandered from thPinaueh of the river to La:redo; and in every neighborhood might be seen the graves of his victims, until his name beemse's terror to the whole frontier. , It may seem strange to persons unfamiliar with the country, that he was not doomed to le gal punishment for his deeds ; but the singular fact admits of easy explanation. Fur two or three years after the war, the courts were not organised; and, besides, be perpetrated all his various homicides in fair fight, and according to the fortes recognized by the code of honor ; and, moreover, when prosecutions at last assailed him he obtained security in the character of the ju rors called to try the issues. It must not be imagined, however, that his countless quarrels originated at the gaming-table or grew out of the questions relating to his fair ness in dealing cards : the cause w a s b o th more romantic and revolting His wife Juana, one of the must fascinating women ever born in Mexico, accompanied him as a partner, and bewildered the adverse players as much by her extraordinary beauty as tho husband did by his skill ; while on every occasion, and wherever she went, her charms inspired the beineks with a sort of phredsied passion that, in spite of reason, pru. donee, and peril, brought adventurous levers to her feet. But Pedro Palacio. was *Potts oven to mad ness, and the slightest attentions to his bewitch ing siren aroused his murderous wrath and vengeance; and he never' failed to throw the onus of the challenge Oa his enemy, when one Mosier his Bowie knife usually settled the ern motility and siteuced the wswiug of his rival for. ever! In the month of September, the Dis trict Court was inaugurated in the town of Lare do, anti a grand few go was given to the fleet night in honor of the new judge, and to the, boundless delight of the lawyers in attendaace.
