He was a straightforward specimen of humanity, who faithfully attended to his own business, without meddling with the affairs of others. His exterior man was covered with a rough shell, nevertheless his heart was in the right place, and his disposition was sweetened by generous slice of humor. Captain Shelldrake was commander ef the brig Hbinoceros, a number of years ago, on a voyage to Havana. One evening he was near the quay, or landiog-place, accompanied by a goed-naturcd spaniel, a pat of his, to wbieh he was greatly attached, when he met an English gentleman, named Morton, supercargo of a Bristol ship. The dog, unfortunately, had strayed a step from the side of his master, and unsuspicious of ill-treatment from any one wearing the appearance of a gentleman, almost urusoca nis ciuan appendage, known aa a tail, againat the tender aliins of this proud native of Albion. Such an approach to familiarity, and auch a violation of the rules of goodbreeding on tbo part of a brute, excited the ire of Morton, who lifted hia foot, and with a sturdy kick againat poor Sancbo's ribs, aenl him howling and yelping ten or fifteen feet beyond the platform. 'Love me, lova ray dog,' ia an old and favorite proverb, which every man would do well to remember, and it was particularly unfortunate for the Englishman that he forgot it, or contemptuously disregarded it, on this particular occasion, for Sancho no sooner proclaimed, in loud and piercing tones, the insult and the injury which ho bad reoeived, than Captain tiholldrakc, who saw the aggressive act, and heard Uie remonstrance of his dog against auoh a wanton outrage, also raised hia foot, a weighty one it was, and emulating the example ef pie Briton, tried the experiment of a kick at him, yeiihjsuch hearty good will, that it osp itaHflBhy^ha twinkling of a bobstay, and sent him sprawling, like a spread aagla, after the spaniel. sudden. It was an axtempo- I raneous kick, and was admirably executed, but mote to the astonishment of the Englishman Utah tfcfetofiatisfaotion. Indeed, he aa little dreamed a moment befere of reoeivlng auoh a humiliating and painful salutation, as thr ?e?ffending Sancbo himself, and seemed as much disposed to complain of the unceremonious usage. Nor did he confine his signs of dissatisfaction to exolamstions of astonishment, orgroaM of pain ; he indulged in expression or anger of a loud and boisterous character interlarded, with expletives far more remarkable for their strength and ferocity, than for their meek nest or piety. And he terminated his remonstrance by shaking his list in the vicinity of Shelldrake's faoe, aooompanled with a demand for instant satisfaction?the satisfaction of a gentleman I Captain Shelldrake stood his ground firmly. He eyed the Englishman with a look, calm and philosophical, yet resolnte and determined. I'll tell you what, my friend,' said he, don't shake your fist at me ; and clap a stopper on those broadsides of abuse, or I'll turn to and drub you to your heart's content, and teach you a lesson in good manners which you will semen bar to the latest day of your life. What 'does the fellow want?' continued the [ Yankee captain, addressing the throng of spectators which had gathered around. 'Ho kieked my dog without a shadow of cause, and I kicked bint because he kicked my dog. He knows now the true value of a kiok, and the sensation it produces when well administered ; wndlpuMnUtlfd to his thanks for giving him ? "? "---? ... j. . rui ?? angry, and cannot do better tbnn to go on board his ship, apply an embrocation to bis bruises, and sleep off his indigoatisn. Ho will feel better in the n?mln? While the Mends of the indignant Morton Bought to mitigate hie wrath by auggetling that there waa one way, and otfe only, of acttliog satisfactorily ell affairs of this kind, Captain' 0helldreke entered his yawl, and in J a few minutes was alongside of the staunch brig Rhinoceros. lis stepped lightly en beard, < took a few turns on the quarter-deck, exchanged some pleasant ooararsation with his officers, partook of a harty supper, smoked a couple of 'Don Amigo's oigars' and turned in, feeling conscious that be had actel well his part for that day, at least ; and without being visited by sny twinges of a guilty conscienee, be slept soundly through the night. He had hardly finished his breakfast on the following morning when two strangers earns on board. They were grave and dignified-looking gentlemen, and by their stiff manners and brief replies to questions proposed by tbe ebief ate, had matters of serious import to communicate. Tbe interview with Ceptsln Shelldrake was not 6f long duration and when they left the brig they smiled grimly ss their eyes met. They had evidently accomplished their mission m ???? laiieractory to ttemaairra at least? , they had bNn doing what ikij eonaidorad a ? good and a Christian wept,. They bad brought < a peremptory challenge from llorton, an ao- J teal injunction to ShelMrake, on fala of loaing , all claim to the character of a gentleman, to t Mi the insulted an<l infuriated Englishman on the beach, back of Moro Castle, at o o'clock that afternoon, and there, in the presence of friends, on that lonely spot, where the surf breaks angrily against the rocks, with pistols, gunpowder, and bu lets, ren ler to a gentleman the only possible reparation for his wounded honor. Shelldrnke was no fire-oater ; he bad never acted even as a second or third in a duel ; but he promptly consented to bs on the spot at the appointed hour, and give Mr. Morton an op. portunity to shoot and be shot at until the stain upon his rcputatt in wis effaced by an | effusion or blool, and bis satisfaction was complete. On board the brig Rhinoceros was a tightbuilt, lively Milesian, a native of Dublin, of repectable parentage, and good education. For some of his youthful escapades he had been expelled from Trinity, had left his home and his country, and adopted the occupation ef a sailor. He was a warm-hearted fellow, that Patrick O'ltlarney, bat fond of a glass of grog, and terribly given to fighting, especially when in bis cups, lie bad had a set-to at different times with nearly every one of his ship-mates, and was seldom seen without exhibiting, by way of ornament, a dark-looking circle surrounding one of bis eyes. At the particular time to which we refer, both of his eyes were encircled by these badges of mournI * ?<>viu was swdleu out of all reasonable proportion. 'Patrick,' said Captain Sbelldrake, with a kind and patronising air, to this pugnacious Irishman, on this memorable morning, 'Patrick, you are fond of fighting, and always looking eat for a chance. What would you say, now, if I would give you an opportunity to fight a regular duel, iu style, with pistols, at ] ten paces, and a gentleman for your antagonist?' 'Oaly say that, captain, dear, and it would be the most charming words that ever came out of your honor's windpipe,' said Patrick, eagerly. 'Plant my man fair at ten or fifiecn paces, and if I don't wing him handsomely at the first shot, call me a land-Iubbcr forcer after that I' 'You shall be gratified, Patrick. A gentleman, an English gentleman'?Patrick's eyes glistened?'has challenged me, and I have accepted the challenge. As 1 hare a high opinion of yonr courage and address, I will turn him over to you?and I hope you wilt give a good account of him. The afTtir is to take place this afternoon.' 'The sooner the better !' exclaimed Patrick O'Blarney, cutting a pigeou-witig in the exuberance of his joy. 'But,' ndded be in a hesitating tone, 'my duds are not so neat and fkshionable as could be wished, and I have no long togs in my chest. What shall we do in that case T' 'Oh, that difficulty is easily remedied,' said the CSDtain. 'I will take care thai v?n >,ell look liko ? gentleman, and when we get on the ground I trust you will set liko one.' 'It comes natural to me, your honor. When I shoot him through the right shoulder, ss shoot him I will, he shall confess that it was done in the most easy and gentlemanly).way possible.' 'At ths appointed hour, ft to o'clock, thsrs was quits a gathering upon the beach back of the Moro Castle. Morion, accon.panicd by a oouple ef friends, and a sargeon, was punctually on the spot, lie was soon joined by Shelldra^e and O'Blarney. The Milesian, beariog ths lirid circle around his eyes, looked passably well, arrayed in a suit of blaok, furnished him for the occasion by Shelldrake. The rumor of the duel bad been spread by some moans, and a number of gentleman had kindly attended to witness the proceedings. Morton looked and seemed much agitated ; he evidently longed for seme excuse for breaking off the duel, and one of bis seconds hinted to Shelldrake that the Englishman, although a capital shot, being always sure of his man, would accept of an apology, if it was tendered in a conciliatory spirit, and they could thus quit the ground good friends. 'I did not come here to apologize,' exclaimed the Yankee?'and I suppose your friend came here to fight. Let us attend to business.' Ha measured off ten paces, told Morton's second to place his man, loaded a brace of pistols, and handed one to Morton. The other he gave to Mr. O'Blarney, who clutched it eagerly and toek his ground, while a ferooious sails lighted up his features. 'Now,' said Shelldrake, stepping aside, 'I will giro the word 1' 'Stop 1' exclaimed Morton. 'What is the meaning of this? Who is that gentleman V 'That,' replied Shelldrak, 'is Mr. l'atrick O'Blarney, a worthy gentleman of the nicest honor, who kindly consents to act as my representative on the occasion ' 'Bui I have no quarrel with him,' said the aatoniahed Morton. You soon will bare, my darling,' laid Patrich, in liia rioboat brogue, 'unless jou stand year ground end fight like e man.' But Mr. Morton insisted one parley, and demanded an explanation. Nothing more easy 1' said Shelldrakc. 'You kioaeu m, auB ?J i kicked you, by far the most igaorablo asiaal W a. t-n xhus far you hare no good reason to complain ; nevertheless, you challenged me to fight. Now, I have no neeulisr desire to lodge a bullet in yen, besides snch an act might put myself as well as yon to inconvenience; furthermore, and to confess the truth, 1 hare a great repugnanoe to being ahot at myaelf.

'That ia not aa yon any I' replied ratrick, till keeping the muttle of hia pistol pointed lireotly at hla antagonist. And, turning toirarda 8helldrake, he added, entreatingly, 'Do, 1 saptain, dear, give'lho word I' Morton found the business growing more lerious, and net liking the looks of the Irishnan, who seemed thirsting for bis blood, and letermlned to have a shot at all events, acted ' >n a very natural Impulse, turnrd on his heel, ' tnd belted from the field, amid the hootings i ind ahouta of laughter of the spectators, who, lot participating in Morton's danger, found the 1 vhole scene irresistibly ludlorous I !
