Years succeeded years, and no quarrel had over disgrace I thoir1 attachments ; whon one unfortunate even- ' ing, the two friends, having indulged : very freely in some burgundy, repaired to a public coffe-house, and there engaged in a game of b mkgammon. Vo: tune declared herself in favor of the marquK 1 iLi. - tuiiwutt count was in despair of success ; i in vain did he depend on the fickleness of the goddess, and that he should win her over to his side ; for once she was constant. The marquis laughed with exultation at his unusual good luck. The count lost all his temper, and once or twice upbraided the marquis for enjoying inu pain winch lie saw excited in the bosom of his friend. At last, upon a fortunate throw of the marquis, the infuriated count threw the box and dice in the face of hi > brother-soldier. The whole company in the room were in amazement, and every gentleman present waited with impatience for the moment in which the marquis would sheathe his sword in the now runnntnnt mnnt Gentlemen ; a soldior nnd a friend, I j have received a blow from a Frenchman, ! a soldier and a friend. 1 know nnd ne- j knowledge the laws of honor and will j obey them. Every man who sees me, wonders why I am tardy in putting to death the author of my disgrace. Hut gentlemen, the heart of that man is entwined with my own. Our days, our education, our temperaments, and our friendships are coeval. Hut Frenchmen, j I will obey the laws of honor and of France ; I will stub him to the heart.' So saying, ho threw his arms around his unhappy friend, and said?'My dear de Merci! I forgive you, if you will only deign to forgive me for the irritations which I h.ivn nrivnn l^vniir coiwiliun ruin/1 i? r~." ^ .v, ......v. by the levity of my own. And now, fenllemen,' added the Miirquis, 'though have interpreted the laws of honor my own way, if there remains one Frenchman in this room who dares doubt my refcolu- j tion to resent even an improper smile, at i me, let him accompany me ; my sword is J by my side, to resent and affront, but not to murder a friend for whom 1 would I sooner die, and who sits there a monu- j ment of contrition and bravery, ready with | me, to challenge the rest of the room to deadly combat, it' any man dare think amiss even of this transaction.' The noble conduct of those t rue friends was applauded by the company present., who felt that to err was human ; to for- j give was divine. The pardon of the count was sealed by the embraces of the marquis, and tho king so fur applauded both the disputants, that he gave thorn the cordon-blue. SCENE ON BOSTON COMMON. The Flag ot our Union relates the following rich scene that occurred lately on Boston Common: A halfseofo or more of Irish women have lately taken stands at (lie Park street, corner of the Mall, where, with a few orauges and other fruit placed upon some temporary t hie or hox, they re- j main from morning until night, perhaps clearing by their small sales from one to iwr\ cliillinrrvi nnr rlflV.

One day last week one of j these old women became quite ill from | exposure. to the sun, and probably from j want of proper nourishment, and was . forced to leave her stand and scat herself , against thi iron railings of tho Common, in the sliMc. A little blight eyed mil of twelve or thirteen summers, saw her U limp to the spot, and also observed the Si anxious eye of tho old woman directed si; towards her little store of oranges, nuts ai and ennfly. "Never mind those, ma'am," T i "i'n ? i . ?;n L,. sue snici, "*i ii |}u uiiu mi nnriv ii?? %> vu w better, arid sell for you." The little miss dressed with much tnsto fo and richness, with an nir that indicated ki most unmistakably the class to which she si belonged, sat down upon the rough box A behind the Irishwoman's stand, assuming j tl nil the importance of a young salesman, i fa beautiful child in that singular position.
