BT HAWSCE MAETIKOALB.
-? worthy
Yankee shipmaster, who possessed
many characteristics of the true sailor. 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 ;

board his ship, apply an embrocation to bis
bruises, and sleep off his indigoatisn. Ho will

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

you hare no good reason to complain ; nevertheless,
you challenged me to fight. Now, I
have no neeulisr desire to lodge a bullet in

well as yon to inconvenience; furthermore,
and to confess the truth, 1 hare a great repugnanoe
to being ahot at myaelf. But as I am of
an aooommodcling disposition, I have been at
aotat pains to procure the attendance on the
Spot of Mr. Patrick O'Blarney, a brave and
gallant native of the Emerald Isle, and an undoubted
gentleman, who has furnished himself
with a bag of ballets end a flask ef gunpowder,
and is ready to shoot end be shot at as )ong as

By the powers, you may well aay that,' exDlaimed
Pat, flourishing the pistol over his
bead.

dissatisfied with .the turn which had
teen given to the affair. 'I won't fight on
heat condiliona.'
'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

Morton found the business growing more
lerious, and net liking the looks of the Irishnan,

But if I was certain'?sho spoke with so- fc

'My sweet girl,'said the doctor, taking J
her wasted hand, *1 will grant this request. 1
You cannot certainly recover, unless Borne ?

The palo cheek grew a shade paler, but
tho smilo faded not on tho gntlo lips.
'Thank you doctor,' was ber reply, 'thank a
you for your trust and confidence in me. f
You shall seo I will not abuse them.' *
The beautiful consumptive sat alone in
her iarge easy obair some moments after 1
the doctor was gone. Sho gazed about her I
ou luxuries which wealth unbounded had 0
proourcd for her pleasure, asd tho large
untroubled eye grew dim. t
'Then I must die 1' sho said to herself, C
'and oh, this fear, not of any hereafter, but
of that droad passing through the valley ;
which shadows my hours of suffering?
Even my religion does not dissipate that
shrinking, shuddering fear. Tho impres

half whispered to herself, a lonely matron
entered, and hurrying to her side, kissed
a
her fair brow. v
'You are bettea to-day, child,' she said j
in tones of forced calmness; 'nay, dou't t

holy lovo of maternity.

The matron promised, and retired to her E
chamber, to ehed the tears of anguish born
of this request. She, too, had long felt c,
that her ohild must dio, but afar off 'the b

performed her duty. (
