[writts* for the obanokbcbo nbwb:] MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY -OR HOW ARTHUB AINSTON GOT HIS WIFE. BT JOANNES. "Ao explanation of my conduct in very easily given," calculutingly replied Henry. ''You, air, must certainly have known, long since, that the hand ol Eliza Royer was affianced to me, and that pre parations are being made for the solem nisation of our nuptials. Eato this eve ning I visited her, and fouud her in tears. 'Not,' to use her own language, 'because she regretted ber duplicity to wtmttui bad wuvaiirKi ouO iia? icarueii to love another/ and that other?Mr. Arthur Aiustun ! My feelings, sir, can well be imagined. You vowed to love her, nnd ahe told yon to bopo in return. Under such circumstances I resolved to ltd yon. Elisa Boycr's love ia the dearest thing on earth to uie. llcr image ras associated with my boy hood's dreams, and tho man that seeks to supplant me in her affections is sim ply? my enemy. My purpose, theu, in vi-iting you, is to demand that you sue j peud at t 'ice your intentions in regard to tlm baud of ber who long aiueo was given to me; or lot our strength decide who is the moat entitled to it." "I most confess to considerable sur prise," responded Arthur, firmly, "at tho manner iu which you make your I demnnds, Mr. nenry, aod what you stmm to think must follow afl a conse quence, should I see fit to refuse to ao quiunoe iu them. But need 1 tell you that i did not know Miss Beyer's band was yours ? Nor do I yet. I had hoard, before I .made her acquaiotaoee, that "ou wore very attentive to her, but I! - " ? ? ? ? . i did not inquire with, ?bat success you had met before I per mitt cd myself to love ber. And, to be short air, oven if I had known all this, I should have done, under the circumstances, exactly what I did?doclared my.self to Miss Eliza. I will not heed your demand, either ; nor will I disgrace myself by engaging in a street row with you. I contemplated leaving on to-night's train, but as you feel so personally aggrieved at my attachment to a woman who evi dently cares nothing for you, I will re main over?although by it I will violate an express"co?nmund of my father?and hold myself iu readiness to give you any aatisuctiou tho ju may demand on to* morrow." "Is that all tho satisfaction then that you propose to give mo to-uight? " in terrogated Henry "It is." "I demand further sir," peremptorily responded Henry "I demand that you deoide this mat tor with me here and low, uud let he who is the most worthy of tlie baud of Eliza Boyur come out the victor." "To morrow I trill be at your service," cooly returned Arthur. "Coward! " exclaimed Henry. ? In au instant Arthur Aioston chang ed from that characteristic coolness, which had marked hiscouduct during the whole dispute, to one of auger and a determination to revenge the insult giveu. "?OSay that word," ho demanded 01 Henry. ''I'd rather repeat it a thousand titm .-? lite* ? "Then take the cousequenco of in sulting a gentleman in such a manner," said Arthur, drawing a pistol from bis coat pocket which he had observed the precaution to put there on his return to his room to excuse himsolf from bis frieuds. Henry's eyes flushed with fire as they caught a glimpse of the pistol. In less time than it takes us to record it, bang, bang, flushed pistols from each of the rivals. "I have no other weapon," exclarued Henry, "and my pistol has exhausted its capacity to shoot again without being reloaded. You will give me that op portunity? " "If you .are not satisfied," imputieut' ly returned Arthur. "1 am not," tho wounded rival utter ed iu a cool, determined toue. At this moment Arthur's friends, who had been hunting him, walked up to where the two antagonists stood tremb ling with rage oaoh with au apparent resolve to die, or wiu the baud of Eliza B?yer. Laying hands upon both, the frieuds said, "Be quiet; this affair ca?i surely bo settled tu a manner that will reflect "He has drawn blood from me,'* loudly exclaimed Heury, "und his life shall pay the puualty." "You will uot act further the part of a miserable coward, and sneak upon me at night and shoot me, to revengo your self will you? " "No sir ; I will meet you in anyway you want me," said Heniy. "Then be not alarmed for four ot not having an opportunity to revenge your self," replied Arthur. "I will renew the combat uow if you will prepare your selt, aud my friends will permit it." "No, no," thoy simultaneously ex claimed. "To-morrow, to-morrow." uVery well. Meet meat Otlboui.'s. Station to-morrow morning at 7 o'clock But one of us Can claim the hand of Eliza Boycr." This last scDtcoco of Henry's was ut tered in an almost, inaudible tone, and apparantly meant fur none bat nis own ears to hear. Here tbey idparatod. Arthur, with hia frieuds, went to the telegraph offioe and dispatched to hit. father that be wee unavoidably detained, anil would start the next night. At Arthur penn ed this telegram, a cold, and indefinca ble feeling ran through hie being. ?'What,"' he mentally said "if I should be the victim, then I shall have told my father an untruth. But I cannot aot the part of the coward." uAre you through writing the dis patch V interogated the operator of Ar thur. "Yes sir/' quiokly responded Arthur j as if suddenly awakened from a gloomy reverie. I He paid the operator, requested him to send the dispatch at once, and re traced his steps with his two irieods. Alter getting back to Arthur's room, tho affair was talked Over between, him self and friendsy. "We mast have all been excited," re marked our hero, "for not one of us knows with whit kind of weapons this matter is to be settled." "That Is so," returned one of the frieuda ; "but as Henry never fights with anything but pistols, it is presumable that ho will not make a -departure' from his accustomed . practice, although the shade of his politics would incline one to believe that he. is not incapable of doing something worse." Tho whole affair was thoroughly dit cussed, and the course to be pursued b) j Arthur, settled in the minds of bis friends. After all the arrangements were tnatb . ;;r hero said," "Well, Cre to morrow night this hour. Ibis affair will have been cotikd." jj^ But let us look to the wo'tuded rival. After the encounter with Arthur, (in which he received a slight flesh wound ia bis left side) Henry ?ended bis way home. Upon arriving there tho first thing he did was to riug for servants and dis patch notes for several of bis best friends. When they came, bo related the winde affair to them, how be had got wounded, and tho arrangements that had been made for the settlement of the matter on tho next day. His friends were angerel beyond measure at the whole proceeding. One of thorn was so enraged as to offer to take Henry's place. But the latter declined to accept the offer. "This difficulty is one between Ar thur Aiustou aud mysolf," said Henry ; "aud as it is a matter that int crests us mostly, our arms must decide it." Alter ordering up some ale, of which Henry and they partook, and over which his frieuds wished him to come out tho victor, the party broke up, and left the wounded rival to himself. . Alone, ho began to think seriously /.v. ?,uti mattet*. "Wbat," ho said to himself, "if after all, she should not have me ? What if 1 kill Arthur Aiustou, aud theo she dis card me ?" These aud similar thoughts passed, nolens rolens, through Henry's mind," "But," said ho, "it is uot her alto gether that I shall fight for to-morrow morning. 1 have been iusultcd, wound ed, and I must avenge my honor, my name." ****** He is a cringing, mean, miserable coward, who wheu culled upon to avenge uti iusult has uot the moral courage to I do so, aud must needs bring in his name, its sweet (!) souud, to spur him up to the performance- of a high moral duty. Aud the man that meets him face to face upon tho field to avenge an insult givcu to his feelings as a man, not his name, ts sure to come out the vtetor. Here Henry had begun to argue, *1 | ready, that it was not Eliza Hoyer alto gether that he was going to enter into a deadly combat lor. No ; bit oarae (?) bad suffered more than his heart, nod he tried to imagine himself some little deity whose dignity would be compromised if he neglected to crush to the ground every mortal that got in his way. 'Twas thus ho tried to inspire his bosom with courage. Already his heart began to fail him, and he endeavored to strengthen it by reflecting upon aud pronouncing at in tervals bis name ! If Elisa Boyer had hitherto learned to love Arthur Aiuston more than Hen ry, if she could have seen the two now, as tbey sat in their respective chambers, the miserable contemptiblo winnings of the one about his name (!) and family (!), and the ealm and settled aspeot of the features of the other, determined to revenge the insult offered to his feeling* sind his heart j in a word, the noble and manly face of Arthur, whose expression j showed that he was ready at any mo ment to meet his antagonist, and ou the other hand, the pale faee of Henry, his limbs trembling with emotions of un manly fears, she would hare been pre pared to renounce fororer her allegiance to the Utter aud cling only to the warm and brave heart of Arthur A ins ton. But to hurry on. When next morning came, exactly at six o'clock, Arthur's friends were at bis door. He had already got up, and was dresood. Wbeu tho throe got together, a noble trio were they. Manly, calm and deter mined, they looked like men who were going to do a work. Hoary and his friends wore also up in their room. But how different their looks ! All pale, and each, to have judged from their faces, wished themselves heartily out of the scrape. But the hour to start is at hand. From the houses of the respective rivals the trio start, accompanied by their frieuds, for what ??to engage in a combat, in which rns or the other must fall a victim to the other's wrath. [continued in our nkxt issue.] Here and There in Advertising. After years of incessant labor, a mer chant of New York, who shall here be oameless, fouod himself just where he began twenty years ago, without a dol lar ho did not owe. Seated at his desk one morning, pouring over bills, and other unsatisfactory documents, he ask ed himself for tho hundreth time, how it happened that his neighbors were flourishing, while he stagnated, and found it a hard matter to hold his own. Ho said to himself, "I work twice as hard as they do ; I am as honest and prompt io all my dealings, and still I do not make headway. There's my fami ly growing up, and my eldest boy, now in the firm, and ho must have, what I fear, unless I make better sales this sea ,Mi I _K -11 fn^l :? .-.. I-1 im him, a fair portion of the profits. What's to bo done?" As ho asked himself this question, a respectable looking young man, with a book undor his arm, entered his office, stood before him, and immediately ad dressed him with a polite "good morn ing," which salutation the merchant as courteously returned. "I have called on a little matter of busiuess, sir." "Yes sir," said tbo merchant pleas antly. He hoped he was about to receive an order for some of his goods. 1 "If you are advertising now I should like to receive your order?." The frowu returned to the merchants iace and he turned from bis visitor with' "lam not advertising, sir, and do not intend to." "You could not chooso a better medi um than the firm I represent, sir." "Times are bad, young man." "The more reason that you should endeavor to stimulate trade/' "1 dont believe in it, sir/' "That is strange." ?Never advertised in my life." "Stranger still/' thought man, as he quickly took his iaeva. Ab>*rjc As he paa*od the outer door he said hair aloud: "You won't last long old gentleman if you don't udvertiso." A gentleman with * csre-worn look upon his face, who stood in the doorway as ho passed, happened to ouerhear the remark. Walking into the office he | asked: "Who was your visitor father T" "One of those troublesome advertising agents. AU nonsense throwing away one's money in that way. . We've none to spare.*" "Any orders this morning V* "No," aaid the old gentleman with a sigh, "and yet that last lot of goods are splendid. I suppose they'll be _on our hands next." The son answered not a word, but went to hie desk aud examined his pri vate bauk account. Presently he said : "It isn't much but I'll do it;" then taking up his hat he left the of&co. About a week afterwards the old mer chant sat as usual at his desk, more than ever discouraged and anxious. f i "If I could only get rid of that lot of goods" ho said to himself, "I should bo saved; as it is, we are ruined. I've written to all my customas, but they're all supplied. I ought to have realized fifteen thousand dollars easily. It's ter rible, terrible. The office boy entered just then, with lettera from the post office. He opened, them one. by one, and groaned Over their contents. There was one more left, he opened it and read? Gentlemen : Please send us sample of your cloth. If approved wo will take the lot at your figure. Respectfully, G. O. HEAD & CO "Bless um," said the old gentleman in surprise. "I've never done busines* with those people. But they aro as good aa gold. How did they know I'd got got the goods they want ? Well, thank Heaven; we are saved from ruin." Wben bis son came in be found his respected progenetor trying a pas settle. 4tA!I right my son; we're saved. Here read that letter. Hello! I've overlooked the postscript. What's that ? tee saw your advertisemaU in the Daily Ballier.' Why, why its a mistake," and his eountonanoe fell. "It's no mistake father," said the son joyfully. ?"But I never advertised in my lifo." "I did, though." "You!" "Yes : I sent three hundred dollars to Rowel! & Oo., and hero's the result. A pretty good investment, eh ?" The samples were all right Che goods sent and the money paid. The junior member of that firm has serious thoughts af gettiug a straight jacket fur the old gentleman, for he's almost gone mad on advertising; and he possibly would stop him, only?IT PAYS.?A.
