Tuo Duelist's Praying *Vlfe. In years that are gone lhere lived i:i a Southern city a Bile ?looking mau, o? wealth and obi family. Ilia wife was from a family as old, and wealth almost as qreat as hin own. But Li.-? family was Olio of the gayest in the city; her? ,ne of the tr-ost actively ami trudy Christian. The theatre, tho opera, the dancing party, were his delight. 1<> rend ihe Bible and pray with her servants each morning, to care for their life neds ami soul uoed-?, to sit by their sick beds and poi pt their souls heaven ward, were her pursuits, lt is said that if any oue have walked in Spice Island? the aroma of their garments w ill tell it. So not words, but the gentle doiugs and not doings of her daily life, told that her walk was with God. And her religion was to a part of herself that no time, place or circumstance could pa rt her from it; and her husband idolized ber in this verv unlikeness to himself. The little watering place that had struggled vainly to get recognition, even though it stood on high lund, in fact, on a spur of the Allogunnies, became, by the war, a centre ot fashion. In its lit tie log cabin, in lin-long, unplastcred dining room, on rude beuche-, by plain board tables, covered with common, but clean sheeting, sal the wealth and styli ami elegance und culture of the South ; glad, even with these drawbacks, to breathe the highland air in summer days. A Sabbath caine-no minister; few men were lhere. "This Lordsday must not pass unno ticed," said the sweet, firm Christian woman. "Let us ladies meet in thc par lor and read the Episcopal service." All were there-the gayest and thc staidest, the youngest and lbs oldest. She rend the service, with a grace -u refined, a voice so sweet and gentle, and a cheek so flushed, that nil felt that in pure love and obedience lo her Lord she was bear ing a cross ; and the sweet influence of that half hour toned thc Sabbath of thc whole crowd. A bevy of smoker . heard the singing, and one said to tue ?usband : "Your wife is too good for you." "Yes (with an oath) she isl She ju the sweetest, purest woman on this earth." "She must enjoy your swearing !" "Swear to her! Why 1 never think un oath where she i-i !*' Her mother told me-and il is for that that I write these recollections at this time -that, after high word-, her son-in law was challcned by a notorious duelist and unfailing shot. Il was a fancy feat nf his to snuff a candle at long range. His friends told ber son il was certain death to accept the challenge, and his wife, w ith her arms around his neck, im plore * him, for her sake, for his chil dren'; ^nke, and for his own soul's sake to refuse the challenge. But he talked about tho code, uud his honor and the like. "Will you give your worst enemy a pleasure, your dearest ones a lifo of suf fering/" sho asked. "I'll give him a sorry pleasure; I'll give him a bullet. I'll send him to a bad place." "Will you meet yom judge, with a murdered man as a passport IO heaven?" "Do hush, dear wile. You unnerve me." But she could not hush, until he pledged his honor thal, if God spared bis life, as soon as ho had his breakfast be would refuse ever to light a duel. It WUH a subterfuge which ?ho did not un derstand nt the time, but she did under stand it when a little alter break of day a light touch on her forehead-her hus band's farewell kiss-made hor open her ..'/cs mid find gone. The noise of wheels nt that uiiwounted hour made her fly to window, only to see tho hack of the car riage as it moved i wt way, speeding her husband to eternal death. She fell on her knees in au agony. One-the God, the holy God-whose justice be was daring, could savo bim from thu eternal, eternal doom hu was courting. But "Father! spare bimi Father! spare him 1" WUH her heart . y to God, unheard by mortal, but heard in heaven. She took no thought of time, she took no note sound*, for more than two hours. She did not move till bis i voice, cheery and clear, rnng out with "I knew your were praying for mo!" ! She sprang up mid staggered toward : hi:::, and iw- caught her iu a close em- ; brace, and to the questioning of her eyes ? answered : "No! I did not burt bim. I fired into i tho air." Alter her "heavenly smile," ns ho j called it, he added : j "He had the first fire, and took dc liberate aim, and didn't touch me, though 1 have seen him snuff a candi? at thal distance. Ho declared some ono bit his elbow ! I ktiew thou you wero praying and I fired iu tho nir. His craven soul waa not worthy of my bullet, but he would have had it but for your sake." Alfie Yo.'I- Obterver. Honr Ho (lot In. Tho other night a young man from northern Arkansas aud a young lady from the southern part of tho Slate, met at a hotel in this city and wero married. After the ceremony the young mau went out and sat in front of tho hotel while his wife went up to tho room assigned as the bridal chamber. ^ "This thing nf gettin' married is a life time businois," he said, addressing a man who bad just been divorced from his wife. "I reckon you have found it so," he added, turning to a single man. "Wall, I reckou I'll go up. Dinged if I don't sorter hale to go up thar, too. But I never was nfecred of a man, an' I don't seo why I should bo afeered of a woman." He went up and rapped at thc door. "Who's thero?" demanded llicgirl. "It's mo." "Who's me?" "Don't you recognize my talk, honey?" "No, I don't." "It's your own wide-awake and liviu' husband. Let mo in." "Go away from that door; you shan't como in here. I ain't gol ncquaiuted with you yet." "Say, let me in. Them fellers dowu stair? aro laughln' nt me. Open tho door, for I'm sleepy," and he yawned like a man waiting for a night train. ..Thought you said you wer? wide awake." "I was nw hilo ago, but I'm powerful steepy uow. Ain't you goin' to open this door?" "No, I ain't." "Why did you marry mc?" " 'Causo I wanted to." "Wall, why don't you let me in?" M Cause I don't want to." "All right, old gal ; I'll shell out fur home ana leave yon to pay the hotel bill. I never seed the woman that could pull the wool r,??r my eyes." The latch clicked and tho door oponed. Tho hotol bili hud frightened her. - During tbe past four month there has beon thirty-eight applications for divorces in Chattanooga. - Some voters in Virgina favor an amendment to tho constitution prohibi ting any bachelor or widower from hold iny the office of governor. - A young gentleman, who is very par ticular about tho getting up his linen, wrote a note to his laundress, and at the same time Bent oue to tho object of his affections. Unfortunately ho put the wrong address on the envelopes and post ed them. J?\i6 woman was r lazied, but not In tbs legst cCesdcd ; but when ihe young ledy read :--"If you sru m pfc up my ahirt bosoms and drag the buttonsoff the collar any more, as you did last time, I shall have to go some where else," she cried all the erening, and declared she would never speak-to him again.

Presidents mid Governors - How His tory Repents Itself, Among tho humors chronicled of ihr Yorktown c?l?bration Lt was mentioned that President Arthur wai introduced to the Governor of Virginia, instead of the latter being presented lo tho President ol the United Statca. Homo have contend ed thal this blunder waa an intentional one, ami wart a reassertion of the doctrine of States rights. If sn, it was merely an other rendering of the old question of etiquette between President George Washington and Governor John Han cock, of Massachusetts. When the for ? mer i?udo his first visit to Illiston aller j he became President he accepted an in vitatio!! of tho Governor to an informal I dinner, but expect! a cad from that functionary as soon as lie arrived, instead j of which he received a message from him j pleading that be was too much indis posed to iloso. Washington doubted the sincerity of thc u|Hilogy, ho had been given to understand thai the Governor wished lo evade making thc lint call, bidding thal ?.-? Governor of a .State, and within the bounds of that Stale, it was a proper point of etiquette that he should receive the first visit even from the Pres ident of tho Lulled States. Washington resisted ?his pretension, so excused him self from tho dinner and dined at his lodgings. Tho neat day the Governor'? friends advised him to waive tho point ol etiquette, so he sent his best respects to the President, informing him that if ai homo and at leisure ho would do himself thc honor to visit him in half an hour, intimating that he would have done il sooner had his health permitted, and thal it was not without hazard lo bi? health that be did il now. Irving, who leila the story in his Life of Washington, points to tho irony im plied in thc Inst aontence of Washing ton's polite note of reply, w herein, aftei expressing the pleasure il would give him to see tho Governor,and mentioning Unit he would be al home until 2 o'clock "he most earnestly begs that tho (Joven . or will not hazard his health on theocca sion." Dut the Governor, according ti ono authority, endeavored to givo cohn lo his nrctended indisposition by goint to make .bc litigated call enveloped ii red baize and being carried into tin houso by servants. Nevertheless hii health was not injured by tho exertion and from that time no pointa of ctiquetn interfered with the Governor's inicr course with the President during tin stay of the latter in Bouton.- Washingloi Star.
