ainiting it a very natural result ofleaving
a body with a pistol bullet in its side,
ly
ing his majesty's park.
Major Williams obtained six weeks
leave of absence, the very day the duel'
was tot Ight.
Mr. Irving made very light of the legal
proceeding , ; but Charles, in his Pwn
mind, could not divest himself Pladviety.
The duel had been foug:t at an itiegular
distance; he had overheard the exptes
mien of Mr. Leeson's second, "it will fie
regllar murder;" and just before the pis—
tol h•pl been placed in his hand, Major
Williams had said .to him; 'rginonilier
there is no time kw fnalery now," Words
-which Charles kareil that others
might
have overheard, and which, manifestly,
were. meant as advice tai shoot his antag
onist if he could; for I believe lie was
correct in his opinion, that when ttvu gen

combat, and fire loatitl, pist,ols each

clati, it alters gaite the charactee or the,
tansaction if anything has ticeufi'ed,
which would give reasonable ground tor,
suspicion, that either of thetri did all this
with any intention of shooting the other.
Chitties, therefore, entertained reasona-'
ble fears that all the circumstances I have
mentioned, by furnishing grounds }'sir Such
a suspicion, would tell against him On his
trial. His imagination was haunted with
the most dismal visions of the futtfre, per
haps only the reflection df remorse tor
tin past. • _ .
•
He could not but feel remorse; None

sacredness of human life.
If this feeling attaches itself to the
mere act of taking away human life, even
where the necessity that justifies it is the
most plain, much more did it exist in all
its bitterness, when Charles had Shed a
fellow-creature's blood under circumstarn- 1
ces, the propriety of which he could not'
help feeling questionable. Not but that
he reasoned himself in the belief that it,
was an act of self-defence—in truth, it
was so when lie was engaged in combat;,
and why had he thus placed himself in a
position in which he was forced to take
another's life to save his own—in defence
he reasoned with himself, of those chari
ties of social life, which it is the first duty ,
of every man to ti.lird from aggression.
He might have calmed all the secret
upbmid;rgs of his conscience by this rms•
soning, if it had not been that lie saw, in
the glance of Ellen, her judgment Olathe
had done wrong- He dare not allude to
the subject in her presence; but there was
an air of calm and resigned melancholy
about her, which seemed to denote that a
wound was rankling at her heart. The
bloom of health had fled from her pale
cheek ,and often did she large teak. fall'
unbidden from her eye.
Charles could not bat mark the change.
Day after day lie passed in her society
until his whale soul became absorbed in
the passion that preyed on it. Yet there
was something in the calm and settled
melancholy of hei look—in the quiet sor
row that (Ahmed her eye—in the meek
paleness of her cheek, which, while it ad
ded to her loneliness, seemed to awe hits)
silence even love.
A few weeks thus passed, and the time,
came when Charles and his companion
surrendered themselves to trial. A pre- ,
vioua intimation from Mr. Leeson's
friends had assured Mr. Irving that they,
would take no steps to prosecute. The
trial was a mere matter of form; the pris. , ,
oilers were arranged for the murder of,
Edward Leeson— a jury were impanelled
--no Withesses appeared—and a verdict,
of oat guilty was pronounced.
The day of his trial ho drove home with
Mr. Irving in his carriage.. The joy of
that gentleman manifested met in a
manner more exprisaive thin was aim],
lie repeatedly shook Charlei's hand.
~ W ell, my boy," he cried; "WWI Over
now—not guilty—it can-7 aver tome :
against you again. It was far t3Ater . for
you to stand a trial, not guilty- ,, hiliza,
soy boy."
. His joy subsided a little into a reflec-,
five mood. "Well, this is a glorious con
stitutioh under which we live—no man
can be twice tried for the same offence.
Quiet forevee, my boy—it is a glorious
constitution. _
Charles heartily concurred in the euii."-
gium on the free geniuslif British law.
"Your aunt must see you it free man,"
cried the good hearted old gentleman, as
he desired the coachman to drive to the
cottage. Charles's heart fluttered in hits
bosom at the direction.
Mr. Irving'i delight at Charles's ac
quittal appeared to have carried him
quite away from his usual sobriety of
demeanour. "Jane," he cried, as soon
as be entered the cottage, "come and see
your nephew quite free; notguilty, huzza.'
Mrs. Irving heartily embraced Ch tries,'
and Welcomed him, as she said, back to
liberty. tier congratulations, however,
were mixed with tears. There was one
however, who met him pale end trembo

'on Her tenntahanc'e (whir lips. Faintly
she held out her hand, and with an effort
the murmured, "Charles, I am glad —you

"Come. come, Ellen," cried her uncle,
the ardent c4racter of whosd jov deem
ed such told congratulations pectaiarly
inappropriate; "come, Miss, y b'll ate more
glad than any of us. No pretence," he
phled, in a significant trine. Charles's

over the paleness of Ellen cheek: She

Without giving her time for resistance,
he hurried Mrs. Irving through an open
casement into the garden, leaving the .
young people alone. Ellen did not raise
her eyes from her work, but her face was!
deadly pale. Charles stood leaning on!

"I do, Charles," replied the other calm
without raisin. ' her eyes. Charles
(hew a chair close to her; she was tremb •

softly, "may I not believe that you have

The other made no reply; tears fell
large and fast upon the embroidery at
'which she Was working. Charles laid his
hand upoh her arm; his own heart was
thi:Obbing violently; she Started—she
looked full in Ws face.
"Charles," sfie said, "there is rid 'tided
of affectation; I have loved you, but never,
never speak to me on the subject again."
I There was an expression hi agony
I mingled with determination, in the mall
ner she made the request, that gave it
more the appearance of a command.
"Ellen, dear," said Charles, but lie
knew not what to add; it was a pause of
deep and painful embarrassment to both;
"will you not be mine--mine forever?''
She had risen trom her seat, pale and
breathless; she seemed like some marble
statue, chiselled wit's incomplable skill;
her hair, black as the raven's wing, tall
dawn in glossy ringlets; the blood had left
her lips.
"Charles," she said, evidently with an
effort; "Charles, never, never speaK to
me on this subject again; it Burg!: not be;

As she uttered these words, she look- ,

Charles manned with (ter; he addressed
to her the arguthents by which he bid si
lenced his own conscience—"lt was self

"Self-defence!" she answered;'
"Charles, dear, do not deceive yourself;
why did you meet him in mortal combat?
It was not self-defence that took you to
the place."
"No, Ellen," he answered, "but it was
the defence of what is dearer to me than
life; I could not hear you spoken lightly
of; I risked my life first."
"Charles, dear," she answered, in a
tone of tenderness; "Charles, will this be•
a good excuse to your God for taking
away the life he ga:vel What harm did
those words dome? Were they worth be

Charles was awed by the solemnity of
her manner—"No man could listen to it,
Ellen, and not punish it."
"Vengeance is mine, Charles, God says;
it was not for yon to take it from him—it
was not for yoti to send a sinner to his
presence."
In vain did Charles reason, and argue,
and entreat. The simplegirl answered
every argument by an appeal to the words
of file Bible. ."Tholl shalt not kill;"
sternly did the refuse to be entreated.

Charles still hoped that ,time would
wear away, in Ellen's mind, the stern
resolution which now alone seemed to in

and no change came over the spirit of tha t

an annuity to his maiden sistet, who spent
the rest of her life wheeling about in a

mil -fated Hairisbiikg:
Three monthsaince it was our painfu,
duty to record the destruction of half a
square of Harrisburg. In the deepest re
gret we are again called upon to perform
a similarly sad task.
On Sunday afternoon, about five o'clock,
a fire was discovered in the carpenter shop
of Messrs. Holtman 4 , Simons, (who were
heavy sufferers by the late fire) between
Fourth and Fifth streets, fronting On the
east side of Market. The alarm Was at
once givers, bu t the dry lumber burnt with
such fury, that before the engines could
take effect several frame buildings in the
vicinity were on fire, and the flames soon
i communicated to the school and lecture
building atiacii, t , t .. 9 t h e Luthertan churcL.i
The grocery store of Mr. Hutton, on the
corner of Market and Fourth streets, was
in the mean time emptied,* the building
torn down to save those adjoining.
The roof of the lecttire building which
was 'within a 'few feet of the church, and
burnt furwutly, threw volumes of flame to
a considerable height, and covervd the ho•
ty edifice with fire. The cornice was in
a few moments ignited, and so great was
the heat that it costinued to blaze even
under a full stream of water from one of
the engines. Every effort that could be
made in the awful hour, was put in requi
sition to save the church—but in vain.
The whole roof, from the inside gable to
the belfry, was soon in a blaze; the flames
leaped with lightning rapidity up the spire ,
---the four points, highly combustible, )
were almost instantly enveloped; and the
great elevation prevented any water reach
Ong with ,advantage. The sacred but ill
fated building was then i•eluctantly given
up, and aftee buining an hour two pre
s.iited a waui spectacle ofsehathed
and smouldering ruins.
Two buildings; one frame, the other,
brick, between the church and Market
street, were saved by extraordinary exer.-
tions. The row of buildings on the oppo
site side of Fourth glee were also suc
cessfully protected. Ihe ware-houses at
the canal, a square &Stant, in the direc
tion in which the wind were in much
danger from the sparks, which flew like
flakes otanaw, and fell fast and thick up
on the roofs,hat were promptly quenched.
The grave-yard attached to the church
intervened, and 'happily so, for had there
been buildings eft that grounel, they must
been destroyed.
The dwelling houses of Mr. Simons and
the widow Shannon were blunt. It is re
ported that Mr. Simons' property, as also
that of Messrs 11611 than and Simons and
Mr. Hutton, was insured. The 'Church
was not, and Of course, the loss falls heavy
on the congregation, who, in addition m
`the loss of the - chuch, were fited 'to wit
flielt burial ground necessarily
throw-xi Open, and the tombs def . ,ced by
falling timbers and the accidents inseper
able from the scene. The church was
built durin g the late war, and cost, as we ,
understand, about $15,000.
We are not informed as to The origin of
the fire. Some suppose it to have been
the work of an incendiary, as no fire had
been used in the shop for several dap.
It is not a little singu lar that calamities
should thus follow Mssrs. Holtman and
Simons, and that this conflagration should
rage immediately across the street from
the destructive scene of July.
The entire loss is estimated at 325,000.
APPREHENDED Tito-onus ON THE CAN+
ADA FRONTIER.—We kegret to learn,
(says the New York Star;) from such au
thority, as we cannot question, that there
is a sullen but determined resolution ex
isting in large and extended masses tri
the population on the frontiers to renew
this winter the scenes of the past year.
the earl of Durham had neatly consum
mated on his part, all the measures which
would go to prevent an occurrence so
moth to be deplored; but the scepter of
power was dashed from his hands.just AS
the preparatory and preventive aitatO:
ment were on the point of completion.'
This unwiLe act. was permitted by the'
governmect as an expiatory sacrifice to,
appease the clamor of Lords Broughmar
and Lynedoch, who, more congenialin

common to all parvenu nobility than their
appatantly hostile positing would seem to
indicate, appeared, on this oec2sion, un

pect of Siamese twins in conjoint defence
of the rights of British subjects! 'flirt:,
has given new hope to the disaffected; and
there is still slumbering unappeased, an
unconquerable desire, on the part of some
of our people, to do their utmost to re
venge the outrage on the Caroline, and to
co-operate with the aggrieved and now
apparently subjugated insertectionists of
the provinces. We trust that, without
fear or favor, such vigorous preperations
will be made by our authorities as will,
at least, preclude the possibility of violent
acts, which, in spite of the present feel
logs of amity between Britian and Amer
ica, may irrevocably plunge both countries
into a bloody and protracted war.

The parties had lived together like cat

another fracas occurred, in the course of
