"Cannot something be done to pre vent young ladies from being insulted on our streets at night ?" asks a Cin cinnati paper. There can. Just have the girl's mother tuck her into her little bed shout eight o'clock in the evening, and lock tho door on her. A round shouldered snd inquisitive stranger kicked au ornamental dog on a Nelson street stoop, to sec if it was solid or hollow. It was not an ornament. 1 dog, however, but ono that was thoro on business, and the round shouldered and inquisitive ?traoger is now quarratitined with an aunt.?Dunbury tfews. A New York man, who beliorcs in advertising, paid a bill of 878,000 tee other day fop a year's work, but it was money well spent, for the earnings result ing f rom that advertisement, which were divided among four persons, footed up S65,f)00. Is Duelling Reully Barbarous ? W.h.vedo.U.d'Toa-,. few word, on this subject, which seems lately to have occupied so much of the time of the courts. We confess that we feel sincere regret that the framera of our new Constitution saw fit to make such stringent regulations against what, in derisiou, our latter day-reformers are pleased to sneer at as the "Code of Hon or " It was a sad thing to be overcome iu battle and forced to surrender our arms to the conqueror, but a sadder day awaits us when we shull allow the customs of our enemies to be engrafted on our so ciety, causing the civilization which was onco our pride and boast, to give way to their so oalled higher civiliza tion. The civilisation that will make war upon gaming at Faro Bank and Rou lette, but holds in high esteem the rascal who suocessfully robs a corporation or ruins tho unsophisticated by stock gam bling and futures. The civilization that argues that female virtue that esc be seduced is not worth protecting. A civ ilization that counsels a man when hs is accused of lying to accuse baok again and thus gets even. The civilisation that laughs at honor and scoffs at family pride. For our part we prefer thi so ciety of former days. A society share no mnu could rise who lacked integrity. Where men had to pay that homage to truth which made them "assume a vir tue if they had it not." A society where a promptness to repel eggressioo was accompanied by a cor responding sensitiveness to tho rights of others. In short, a society where the eudo of honor was fully recognized as the rule among gantlemeu to be resortep to for the defence of character and repu tation. Until men bcromo better Chris- ] tinns, until the time shall come whon | ail will love one anethur too Well to in fringe upon each oiiicrs'r'i^uis," the coda i of honor must exist in all high tone I and well regulated society. We contend that it is a Christian code, and just 1 as defensible and justifiable as war. We contend that a Christian minister is fully as much justifiod in defending his honor under the code as he would be in accept ? ing the captaincy of a Company to fight the enemies ol his country. We would not fight a duel, unless the affront was of such a grave character as to rest under it would destroy our usefuluess to society and the good name we desire to leave our children The Code of Honor strictly adhered to never allows a fatal termination to a quarrel, unlevs under i ircuinstances when such bad blood has been aroused as would otherwise termin ate in n street fight, thua endangering the lives of others aud involving the frionds and relatives in a long and bloody vendetta it fs ignorance ofth) Code which make- men ridieuls it. We can demonstrate that there is scarcely a single instance to be referred to where a duel has terminated fatally where ev en such a result was not tho lest for society under the itnperfeotions of out human ty. We do uot alladc, to ca sos where the code has been violate 1 and deuth of one or both parties has been the ,es tit. We assert that when the Code is fully recognized and strictly adhered to, there aro very few quarrels that arise among gentlemen that oai not bo settled by it. We like the code because it keeps us out of difficulties with blackguards, and we know full well that will Bottle soy trouble or misunderstanding thai may occur with gentlemen. In other words, we like it because it keeps us out of fights. It is an impartial peace-ma kcr, and therefore we call it a Christian oode. It takes a quarrel out of the hands of those who *re offended anl prejudiced against each other, sod places I it in the management of those who have but one aim, nnd that is peace. We a'sert again that the oode, striotly foll owed, will settle nearly all difficulties, and only when it is violt ted do f.cse unhappy results follow which arouse the sympathy of the community for the un fortunate, and bring down the usual outburst of prejudice against the oode. Take for iostunee, the esse which occur red in Virginia very recently. Mr. Me* Cnrty h is some misunderstanding with ? much admired young lady They meet at a ball; they dance together. A few days after a piece of poetry appears i o the Enquirer. It is read nnd discuss ed st the club Some one remarks that the poetry has a personal allusion. Mr. Morderii denounces the author. Mr. M Carty de lares himself the author, but docs not feel called upon to Bay whether it bee a personal allusion or not. He is challenged bj Morde:ai. He reeogolses the Code and refuses to fight because he dees cot admit that Mr. Mordeoai has any right to assume the quarrel. To admit it, would be to hold himself readj to fight every man in Vir ginia who chose to espouso tho lady's cause. Here the Code actually prevou ted these high spirited young men froaj> coming together. Mordeoai walks into the billiard room and overhears remarks that he assumes are meant for him.? Instead of a resort to tho code and re quiring an explanation, which no doubt would bare been given, and thus settled the difficulty, he loses his temper and gives MoCarty a severe personal chas tisement. Now matters bad reached a point that the code was the most human* mode of settling.?Without a resort to it, a street fight would certainly have fallowed, and perhaps to day the fight would be still going on between their respective friends. As it is Mordeoai falls, and the community sympathises and the matter ends. When the millenium comes and the lion lies down with the lamb, then, and not till then will men cease to quar rel. We can't legislate siu out of the world but we can legislate away customs which are the result of our fallen nature, and have their plaoes supplied by th ise which are ten times worse. We can stop duelling to be followed by strict murders. Wecan shut up the gambling houses of te day to have their places supplied by uskio shops" to nor row. We can close other places where vice does wear the gar 1 of deoency, to fill our streets with pitiable spectacles of depravity. Let ministers work snd pray for our regeneration, but doa't try to legislate for the hearts and consciences of men. All such laws are vaiu aud foolish, and the exporienco of the past has settle I this fact beyond dispute. We know that we are writing boldly, but vre believe we are right and all we ask isthat our readera will give what we have written calm and unprejudiced consideration.?Atlanta UcralJ. reek's Sewing Machine. A Mr. Feck had lung entertained the idea that he could invent a self acting ?ewing machine, and he did. He pro cured a steel ribbon spring about twenty feet long, and ol sufficieut power to run a horse car. This he rigged on his wife's sawing machine with a lot of clockwork, and it appeared to him, when he finished the job that evening, that he had realis ed his hopes. If any sewing machine ever would go that one would, as he wound it up ready for use in the morn ing, and went to bed. At four o'clock Mrs Peck aroused him, aud to! J him to listen to the burglars in the house. He listened, and heard a most terrific racket in tho sitting-room. Itappcarcd tohitn 1 that there must be a million burglars refreshing thoiuservrs with n prize fight. So he loaded his gun, cropt softly ovor, and peeped through a crack in the door. It was not burglars, it was Mrs. Peck's sewing machine. The peg had slipped out and that spring was having full play. It would rear the machine up on one end and charge it three or four times like a battering-ram against the glats front of tho book case ; then it would .wheel around and suddenly tear across the room,' butt up against the mantelpiece, and it would lie dowu and roll over the floor, snd hammer the sota, tsar up the carpet, and boost the center table and try and jam a hole through the wall, and then endeavor to leap up on >ihe chaodelier. Then aa Peck entered the room, it flew at him, and tore iu and out between Ins legs, the wheel revolving like lightning all the lime, and the spring gradually unwind ing. And then Peok retreated and the family all got up aod got a mattress off the bed, with wbieh they covered the machine, and sat on it for a while, but finally pushed it out of the window into I the yard, where Peok piled boxes snd j ash barrels and alop buckets snd fenee palings and wagon wheels on to it to keep it still. Bot sll night under ths hasp it kept up s continual buss sod snort and buns, so aha* one of Mr Bird sail's boarders fired st it sixteen times with ths impression that it was cats.

Marriage Id Judge Cooked Court. ?**Al It Should Be" shall be the title of our next novel, and we shall weave the troubles, the fortunes and the afflic tions of Cornelius Arnold and Ssrab Samuels into the woof of our story. We all know the misery and wretchedness occasioned by untimely and improper marriages, and the too solicitous care of parents; but a father's "phis" inoppor tunely thrust in upon the scene of our pleasures and joys inspires a degree of recklessness productive of the worst consequences. The truth of the matter is, "papa" has no business snuffing about for some token of a daughter's disobe dience, and, if he should get knocked down occasionally, he would learn a little caution, if not a proper sense of propriety. Stephen Samuels bud a daughter, a lovely girl, in whom he confided, and whom he loved with all a father's devo tion. He had oared for her, and trusted that in the evening of life she, at least, would be left him to smooth hia passsgc to the grave. But, alas ! love is more powerful than a father's counsel, end Cornelius Arnold rose before Sarah Samuels' enraptured imagination?the beau ideal of all that was beautiful, lovely and of good report. Stephen Samuels' mature charms sank into insignificance when compared with the bliss of Cornelius Arnold's companion ship ?od the fruition of his love. Trust ing in the strength of Cornelius Aruold's attachment, and reclining upon his powerful arm, Sarah bade farewell to her old home, with all its sacred and endearing associations, aud conscious of the devotion that supported her through ail the critical period of love and uourt ship, she sailed out upon an untried stream, "heart within, and Cod over head." The coarse of true leva never raas smoothly, and the affection that a fath er's counsel and advice could not eon trol was ab >ut to be rebuked by tho dread thunders of the law. Stephen Samuels no longer rested upon his own resources ; but summoning the dignity and power of the State of South Caroli na to bis aid, relentlessly pursued the disturber of his domestic peace and tranquillity. The dogs of war wore loosed, and in the end Cornelias Arnold stood. before the Court of Sessions for Abbeville county, indicted for the high crtmo and misdemeanor of "abducting a woman child." Here tho matter rested for sometime. Learned lawyers whetted the edged tools they are accustomed to use in the foreu sic arena and prepared for the contest of the people's rights against the encroach ments of a disturber of society. The Judge looked wise, and began dcliber.it ing in his own mind the penalty ho would inflict should Cornelius Arnold be proven guilty of the high crime with which he stood charged. Loafers, busy bodies and reporters thronged tho corri dors of the tempi* of justice, deeoautiug upon 'he probable issue of the case, and aching for a glimpse of the cause of so much gossip. At last all were gratified The bustle of preparation became appa rent, and the Judge announced 'The State vs. Cornelius Arnold." Col. Thomas Thomson, who represent ed the prisoner, rose and nsiuuatiogly suggested to ths Court that the case be noL proMsid ; that be had the thiog dead, and, to avoid increasing the expenses aitaehed to litigation, bad prevailed up on Stephen Samuels, the father, to allow the marriage of Sarah Samuels, the ; daughter, to Cornelius Arnold, the pil ferer, and recommended that his Honor set the part of master of ceremonies. The Court was taken sbaok by this un expected turn of things, snd on Corne lius and Sarah plighting their troth, and Stephen giving his consent, Cornelius and Sarah took their stand at the bar and were made one flesh. The remarks of his Honor were well timed and appro priate?the only thing lacking, in our I opinion, being a prayer for God's bless ing upon the happy couple. The closing sentence oi tho Judge's charge to the married pair was full of good advice, and with "Go and sin no more" ringing in their ears, Cornelius Arnold and Sarah Samuele wander down the cool, toques tared vale of life, one in aim and one in sympathy. Happy coMamatteie* dt their dearest hopee and strongest aepira ?ions ! "hale be your heart, bale b> your flddU, Long may your aibuck jink ?od diddle, Ayt! cheery through thia weary riddle Of war'Iy eare, Until your bairns' bairns kindly cuddle Your auld grey hair." This incident of our court, as we haTo tersely and simply related it, possesses the beauty of truth and the faseiaatiots of romance. Occurring as it did in tue midst of s dull routine of legal proos dure, it stands unparalleled in the hif tory of marriages in South Carolina.. It was an interesting and novel episode, and served to quicken the wits aud brighten the genius of the gentlemen of tbs Bar. Colonel Thomson, in this as io every thing else that he undertakes, has achiev ed new laurels, and stands pre emieot at . a match-miker. In his new field of Is bor we wish bim unbounded suaosss, and posterity will accord to him ths foil meed of honor aud of praise that he so richly deserves.?Abbeville Medinm.

Wc have often thought (for editors never speak from osporiecoe) iwafcaVi) young fellow must have a good stoak of assurance ?nay, of downright impclcnoe i ?-to go through the ticklish, teiTiblo, tortnriug ordeal of a regular courtship. Ho has not only to run tho gauntlet of sneering young gentlemen, but also tbo gauntlet of gossiping young ladies; to ha talked of, and to be the mark of watch* ful observatons, for the whole neighbor* hood in whioh his fair one resides. Nor is this all. If his addresses are only acceptable to one member of the family, and that member the depository of the garnered up love of a whole lifo, ha is aar? tQ (oast ths ssvage glanoes of sav age brothers, and is just as sure to en counter other equally flattering manifes tations of paternal, maternal, or frater nal opposition. Now this is sII wrong. Ths exchanges should be morv equalis ed sod some are sanguine enough to believe that the day is not far distant when they will bo equalised; wbso we shall hear of young ladies paying their addresses to young gentlemen, visHiag them nightly at their houses; inviting them to ride, to walk, to dance, toting*, to eat ico cream, sod as soon as n?stisil are brought to an interesting orisft, "popping" the question itself.
