DINING OH A. DRUM. f)
Tliere lived on one of the princi- j
< pal thoroughfares in one of toe up- 0
' per Counties of this State, about the a
year Anno Domini 1830, a heavy, D
well-set man, aged about thirty- n
five years, with black, glossy hair, g]
a round, handsome face, with black, j,
keen eyes, and taken, altogether, p
prepossessing in manner and ap- 4
pearance. His wife was, in the ^
nsual acceptation of the torm, an 0
excellant woman, a fine bouse- f(
keeper, possessed of fine natoral 5
sense?with some advantages of a
education; and in the well-ordered 4
arrangement of the honse, had a a
place for every thing, and every
thing in its proper place. Tins 1

fresh meat and rest. c
It so occurred, in the course of (
events, that on a hot, sultry day in (
June, 1820, might be seen in the ,
distance, about the hour of high j
noon, a cloud of dust rising, giv- ?
ing indications that some weary fi
traveller was last approaching tho {
inn. In the course of some fifteen
minutes, an elegantly dressed gentleman
, on a fine cbesnut sorrel 1
horse, finely caparisoned with a
large, black silk umbrella, giving !
shelter to the rider, stopped in
front of the inn, and asked if be .
could get aooommodation until the '
next morning. Thorkmorton at j
bis post, informed him that he .
could, accepting such humble fare
aa ha could give him. The travel- 1
ler alighted from his noble steed, ;
which was turned over to the ;
hostler. On the traveller entering
the inn, he informed the landlord
that he was greatly in need of rest '
and sleep, and would prefer taking
an hourV sleep before dinner. A

Tborkmorton, from the brief in- 0
rview and conversation beld a
ith bis new guest, was fully 00n- C
[need and satisfied that he was el
5t giving entertainment to any or- 0
[nary or common personage, fie e
ft him however, in hie room to G
ike that rest and sleep that he a
semed so much to require. Tbork- a
igrton then made his way to bis "
lie's chamber, informing her of si
is views and opinion of the a
ranger, and that under present d
id existing circumstances, having 0
icenuy nau iucn a ran of custom a
id patronage to the inn from the $
aopie of the low ooantry making n
teir way to the mountains of ttp- b
ar Carolina; oonaidering the low
ate of the larder of the inn, p
7W he could give the fare that ti
is pride and reputation as a land* *
rd had won for him.
The scanty ftmily dinner was n
ien in the pot, and for any thing a1
ore to be added, the place ana *
rder could not then produce. The b
irtman had been aispatched in a
ie early forenoon to soonr th* e
sighborLood for chickens, eggs, g
otter, lambs, &c., so essential to
well kept bouse, would not relrn
before four o'clock in the afsrnoon.
Tborkuiorton expressed
> his wife much sorrow at this
tate of things, but says he: "Wife,
e will do the beet we can, and I
luch minded to let him sleep on
11 supper?but if he awakes, will
take the best use of my sense
ad perception ss the vase and oe- *
wion may require. I have never
et, wife, got into a fix but could
jmehow or someway get out."
The family took their scanty
leal at one o'clock, leaving, howver,
enough of such as they had,
>r the guest, iu the event of his
ising from bed. After the famY
had dined, Tborkmorton took
is seat in me piazza near the room J
f his guest, with pipe and tobacco r
> watch and wait the movements of f
be sleeper. At, or about four t
'clock in the afternoon, be beard I
idicatlone of waking from the e
awning and stretching iu the a
bamber; he gently approached n
le door, and opening it, discovered "
le gentleman bad partially awoke, h
horkmorton very pleasantly made
le inquiry if be could serve bim ?
1 any way. To this the stranger ?
nd guest propounded the quee- r
on: " Iiow long have I slept ?? {
Vbat is now the boar I 1 have v
ideed, landlord, bad a long and I
sfreshing sleep ? sleeping and e
reaming in this neat and pleasant
bamber greatly to the comfort c
nd satisfaction of my weary and a
iucU fatigned frame." Thork- t
lorton replied: "Sir, yon hare ?
iept nigh on to fonr hoars?bar- ?
ig risen in tho mean timo and f
artook of a light dinner." " In* *
eedt landlord, yon do not pretend

onfees my dreams were in part ?
casting on chicken, snap beans, *
aeon and so forth." ** I do really '
ssnre yoa, sir, that yoa have 1
ined and precisely on such fare ?
a you have described, and imme- *
iately, on leaving the table, re* *
urned to your room, and was *
kgain asleep in a few moments." 1
k W by, landlord, you astonish me. 1

eases, and have no recollection of >

( Well, sir, the lact is as I have 1

4 Well, landlord. 1 am really in a 1
itate of sort of delusion at this infor- '
nation, bat suppose 1 must take
he thing as a matter of fact as you 1
-epreeent, though, in all my lifltft !
jxperienco and changes, I must 1
confess that I never was, or have '
t>oen, so fuddled with the idea of
liaving performed any sneh act or '
kindred to it, before in my sleep. 1
Do yon say that yon had bacon, 1
beans and stewed fowl with dnmp- 1
lings for dinner !" 44 Precisely so, 1
my guest." 44 Well, air, I reokon '
it most be a reality, though upon '
feeling under the waist of my *
pants and my buttoned vest, 1 can
not, after taking fully my dimen- ,
slons, realize the fact yon state. 1
will, however, enter upon my jonr- ]
nai that, for oooe in my life, that 1
I had ate my dinner in sleep at '

long now, landlord, before anp> 1
per r* 44 Supper, sir, will be ready
at aeven precisely. My good wife
will have the fable eopplied with
the best the country affords."
The cartman had now returned,
having procured in his tour of
search, fowls, lambs, fresh fish,
batter, eggs, honey in the comb,
in fall supply to do for a* number

The evening was spent in s most '

on, and at the hour of ten all
ere in their beds of rest.
Ob the next morning, Thork- j
lorton, wife and waiters, were all
t their posts, and in due season,
breakfast was on the table not to
e surpassed in taste aud elegance

rn country. The traveller and
nest partook of the morning meal

m rising from the table, remarked
bat he was again sure tbat there
vas no dreamina and deeping in

Thorkuiortou upon his reurn,
thai, on finding bis place so |
uc?nut una agreesoie, ne was
ninded to remain for two or three
lays tor refreshment and rest from
lis long and tiresome journey.?
?o thiB proposition Thorkmorton
eadily give his assent, saying he
loold do so as long as he chose.?
[he traveller, after a stay of three
lays most pleasantly spent in readng
and writing?and when not
hue engaged, in coversation with
rhorkmorton and family. On the
norning of his departure, called
or his horse and bill, saying that
ime and circnmstances would not
?ermit his remaining any longer,
xpressing much regret on leaving
. place wnere be had realised so
nuch comfort and pleasure, with
nany thanks for the generous and
;ind hospitality shown him.
Thorkmorton having found bis
;uest so intelligent and entertainng,
together so companionable, he
endercd no trill, giving a most
>ressing invitation, hoping he
ronld again return and make bis
K>nse his home so long as he might
ilect to remain.
The traveller left, making note
>n his journal of his pleasant stay
it Thorkmorton^s, with the cusom,
manners, and much other

peculiar to the locality?not
orgotting, however, to note the

tngaged in his former pursuit?
bat of keeping a hotel. He soon
bund that his guest and traveller
riend, several years previously,
md located and settled in tho same
place, and now one of the most
prominent and leading men of the
State, who, at a subsequent period,
was called to exercise and
administer the highest office in the
gift ot the people. On meeting,
there was mutual recognition and
a happy greeting, and at once saturations
to be constant and confiding
friends.
Thorkmorton was greatly benefited

borne, together with substantial
sid of money and means whenever
be was placed under necessity.
Thorkmorton, on a private occasion,
when dining with his now
fast and firm frlena, told him how
it was about the 44 dinner taken at
bis house in sleep," saying that it!
was a ruse and deception practiced
>n him, for the reason that his
pride and scanty larder at the
Lime, would not allow him to offer
lueh a poor meal to one whom, in
appearance, deserved better, and
prayed, it be had erred nnder the
circumstances, that he might receive
pardon and forgiveness. To
this the fhture Governor replied,
with a hearty and prolonged:
laugh: 44 He supposed that he was
right under the circumstances, bnt,
sir, a cup of cold water and a
cracker, would have fully excused
jron at the time; but, Thorkmor-,
ton, I should have gone to my
grave with the honeet conviction
ot taking that meal in sleep."
When elected Governor, ho conferred
on Thorkmor too the highest
office in his gift.

&. Duel With Swords in Vew York \
City. 1
The New York Herald states j
that a dnel took wince in that city (
on Sunday night, between Mr. '
George Proud e. an Englishman,
and Mr. Francisco de Porto, the 1
Cnban who lyas seriously wound- 1
ed in a duel with Mr. DeOouto,
the editor of the Spanish journal
El Oronista, in Canada, last Summer.
The cause of this last affray
arose from certain taunts uttered
by Pronde on Saturday, night, in
reference to the conduct of Cubans
in New York city, which so i
pnraged De Porto that he spat in
Fronde's face. Preparations for
a hostile meeting were at once entered
upon. The Herald says : I
The seconds were not far away,
and, after a little consultation
there was chosen on behalf of De i
Porto a Mr. Alfred Neill, and tor i
Proude Mr. Charles Pittman. The
compact was then agreed to; the
only question to be disposed of
was as to
m W KAPOKS AND THE BATTLE
-GROUND.
The combatants were determined
to fight. Both were good
swordsmen; both had wrongs?
the Cuban to arenge the slander
on his conntrjinen, his opponent
to wipe out the stain that the defiant
expectoration of De Porto had
inflicted. With what weapons
should they fight ? Pistols 1 no ;
44 for," 6aid they, M any fool can
shoot; it takes a swordsman to
fight a duel," and so swords were
the weapons. De Porto insisted
on foils, but Proude desired
the ordinary sabre used by car-I
mi * ? - *
airy. inia question lormed the
subject of much wrangling, bnt finally
De Porto consented, and so
far matters afforded mutual satisfaction.
All this occurred up town,
near the house of a common friend,
and a fashionable one at that, in
West Nineteenth street
To that house, then, the parties,
accompanied by their seconds, on
Sunday night repaired. There
was no noise, no unusual sound to
disturb the quietude of the place.
Few were aware that within an
hour one of two human beings
might breathe his last. The preparations
were made in silence,
and the hour of two o'clock, yesterday
morning, was awaited with
anxiety. The edges of the keen
blades were carefully,, examined,
and for a lengthened period scarcely
a word was spoken.
STRIPPING FOB THE FBAT.
Ding, dong?it was two o'clock.
In the spacious back parlor of the
house in question the parties assembled
ere the echo of the chimes
had died out. Both combatants
stripped for the contest, the seconds
now and then whispering somelL
X- al- A- A- --
luiug to inose aoouc to engage.
Only a balf dozen persons were
present, each one of whom was
thrilled by a nervous excitement. A
splendid chandelier shed a flood of
light around tho room, though otherwise
the place was excessively
cold,so cold indeed, as to necessitate
the wearing of a thin walking coat
by each of tho duelists,both of whom
were attired in tight pantaloons,
all underclothing being entirely
dispensed with. All the arrangements
having been completed, the
combatants announced their roadincss
to proceed.
DEAD SILENCE
ensued, while an ashy paleness
seemed to be the prevalent complexion
of every man in the room.
The word was given and the duelists
crossed swords, and having
taken three paces backwards, the
fight commenced. At first a slight
timidity was apparent on both
sides?not so much timidity, per
haps, as the nervous expectation
incident to the opening ot the encounter.
Finally, after some little
hesitation, De Porto advanced,
r> i ? M
rronae ineanwime on tne aieri to
roccive him. The scene was exciting.
All at once the few spec
tators were startled by a sodden cut
made by Pronde at the head of
his opponent, who, however, deft
ly parried, and retired a pace or
two. Up to the present both had
observed a comparatively serene
demeanor, bat it was evident the
duel could not be a prolonged one,
each being bent on deadly strife.
Having again crossed, great skill
was displayed by both, their eyes
flashing with fire and endeavoring,
as it were, to penetrate each others
intent.
ADMTVABLK SWORDSMANSHIP
was displayed, the cuts being rap
id, well directed and parried with
precision. Up to tne present,
which was abont tire minutes from
the commencement, De Porto
had escaped with a slight scratch
on the chest, Proude being unharmed,
when suddenly De rorto
offering a tempting chance, Proude
advanced on him and inflicted a
diagonal cnt upon the right thigh.
It was a fatal move for Proude,
lor no sooner had he leaned for

ward to make the cat, than, with
lightning-like rapidity, De Porto
following np the ootrfrqfitio, gashed ?=
bis opponent on the right snoulder,
causing a wound some fire ii
inches in length, and about one b
and a half inches in depth. His
sword arm was disabled.

uatuiiiiv, ~ x<iiuuga ior KKUty; w
you will give me my revenge another
time jw to which De Porto p
replied: h
* I am always at your dispoei- b
lion."
Subeeqnently the parties shook
bands and the wounds were exam- 0
ined. That inflicted on De Porto, c
though some eight inches in length, t
was scarcely a quarter of an inch 0
in depth, while JProude's was ot a t,
serious character, the blood streaming
from it in profusion. He was .
immediately conveyed to his resi- J*
dence in Brooklyn, where proper Jj
assistance was procured.
Expenditure for Manure.
Millions of dollars, says a writer,
are annually expended for man- i
ures that ought to bo saved, for i
with nrlrvi naf? rvoinof-nL-inrr a <.i-m i
^ | "'61 " *
whoso stock is rightly proportion- t
ed to the number of acres tilled, t
will furnish all the manure necee- i
sary to keep the farm constantly t
increasing in fertility. Barn should s
be so arranged as to shelter and
save all the manure, both liquid 8
and solid ; then, as a load of solid g
manure from the stable to the " or t
dure room," there should be t
thrown over it two or three times t
its bulk of refuse straw sods, weeds, I \
leaves bean and peavines, mulch (
swamp muck, tanbark, sawdust
and shavings, pouring over the
heap as much liquid manure as the 1
compost will absorb. By the con- *
stant repetition of this process, 8
there will be created an enormous 3
amount of fermented manure, suf- .
ficieut to supply all reasonable do- .
mands of the farm.
If eight or ten hogs are fattened, ^
by meaus ot the same process, the 1
hog-pen is made to furnish a bountiful
supply of manure for the gar
den aua a largo field of corn. Any ]
farm may thus be made to manu- i
facturo all the manure for the crops I
grown upon it, except potatoes, ]

stead of manure, as the latter in- t
creases their tendency to rot. Po- i
tatoes should be planted on a dry 1
piece of land, after buckwheat, aud ?
the land well sown with plaster, or t
the planter may throw a kaudtul
of plaster into each hill. Ashes ]
do very well as a substitute lor ,
plaster ; potatoes are not liable to ,
rot planted with either. ,
Guano is good and valuable for (
farm use ; but every farmer shonld ,
save from the droppings of the ,
hennery enough for nomo use, in- ,
stead of buying the imported arti- ]
cle. Privies should t>e so con (
structed as to readily yield up their ,
accumulation, either from a tight
box, so hung as to be easily moved,
or from a Eliding drawer,
when the contents should be conveyed
to a heap or vat of absorbent
refuse, which should also be
the receptacle of kitchen refuse
and bedroom deposits. A compost
heap is thus termed sufficient
to enrich a garden to the highest
degree of fertility, aud by the use
of chloride of lime, or some other
disinfectant, all offensiveness may
be avoided.
The following deductions, drawn
from years of observation and experience,
are worthy the attention
of farmers:
1st. Farming cannot be profitably
conducted wilhont careful reference
to the laws of waste and
supply.
2d. The natnre of the wAAtn
must bo understood, and the prop
er remedies applied.
8d. All these supplies should be
drawn Iroin the resources of the
' farm under culture.
[Maryland Farmer.
Tiik Southern Farmer, Memphis,
Tenn., says :
41 No man is fit to manage a
farm who does not think beforehand
what it is best to do, and
which is the best way to do it.
Work without thought, without
plan, has been the blunder of many
who pretend to be farmers."
Dkad to Society.?The hopeless
man is dead to society, and the
man who seeks nothing better than
what is at present, is dead to action.
It is our duty not only to
attempt something better, but it is
our life, our energy, to belive in
its possiblity or attainability by
some means or other.
I* yon want to have a man for '
your friend, never get the ill-will
of his wife. Public opinion is
made up of the average prejudices
of womankind.
