Tbc Terrible Drink. Oh. th?drink, th? terrible drink. Makins: oaoh oitj and town a sink Of misery dim. and fearful to toll Of the numborleea victims sent to hell. Swearing, killing, crimea no lack; The terrible drink makes night so black; Tho curso of youth and decrepid age, Adding to thirst instead of assuaged; Continual drink tho drunkard's crave-, Till it drags him down to an ?arly grave. Oh, tho drink, the horrible drinkl Seo tho child from the father ahrink, As h* sisffgsra home from the night's debauch, His soul on fire from the demon's torch. Blindly, wildly, stumbling along, Crazed with drink, intent on wrong; And ?yen the dogs, with a bark and a bound, Growl at tho man as he gropes around! Thia Is the picture, deny it who can, Of Gio downward steps of a fallen man. Once h? was free from the vice, but ho fell- . Foll, liko tho angola, from heaven to hell Fell, to bo mocked at, scoffed at, and beat, Mingling in filth in tho horrible atroot. Pleading, eursiog, dreading tho worst, Drinking still deeper, yet greater his thirst, Tilt he slokens and falls, degraded and low, And'death is preferred to his abyss of woel Merciful Goal in thy goodness, save Thine own imago from a drunkard's grave. MY FRIEND'S REVEN GK. OONCIiUDED. "And now for your weapon," said tho professor, opening a oloset and produc? ing a sword. I have the n ?usure of tho Austrian's sword; this ono is the exact length. " The sword at a cursory glance looked a yery unpromising weapon with which to defend a man's life. My friend evi? dently thought so, for he examined it with a dismayed look. ."Why," said he, "it's hardly moro than a lark spit; the Austrian uses a K?? nigsberg blade, double the weight mid width of this toy." "Iknow it; but this toy, ns you term it," surveying the weapon fondly from heel to point, *^ias qualities that in proper hands will prove more than a match for the best sword ever forged in Germany. It is a real Seville blado-no? thing better in tho world. "See," plac? ing it lengthwise on his Anger, "how admirably it is balanced; notico the hilt, cross-tmrred and crossed-no fear of wounds on the sword hand; then, its temper," severing a large nail on which breast-plates were hung. "Look again," pressing tho point against the wall till it met the hilt, when releasing the weapon, the blade instantly returned to its nor? mal condition. "And this last," striking the blade on the flat of tho anvil with all his force, "there, that alone is a test whioh I defy even the famed K?nigsberg sword to undergo. Enough for this night. Como early to-morrow for your lessons." When we quitted tho professor, tho doctor obtained a promise for me that I should not leave Milan until the result of the duel was determined, and that I would accompany him to the field. I saw little of my friend except in the evening-he was engaged elsewhere-I did not ask in what direction. I surmised he was with his f enoing master. Ho never alluded to the approaching duel-his conversation was tranquil and on general topics; the affray at the theatre had, however, been bruited about the city every one knew the duel was to come off, but no ono knew precisely when or where. We were about to part one night when he said, quietly: "To-morrow morning, at 5 o'olock, two carriages will bo at the ramparts, one for myself and second, tho other for the surgeon and my master, Di Frati. You will pass muster as a surgeon. Let mo entreat you to make no objection; the details have already been finally ar? ranged. My opponent is provide 1 in a similar way; he mid his second in ono carriage, De Liancourt, his teacher, and a real surgeon in the other. Bo p .me? lli al." At 5 o'clock I found myself in tho carringa with Prof. Di Prati. The placo of combat was to bo near Monja-just beyond tho Milan territory -there were reasons for this which need not be particularized. ^ The morning was cold aud cheerless, W and when wo alighted, which was in [ about two hours, the day hud not bright? ened. All parties got out of tho car? riages ; the foes saluted each other brief? ly. I uoticed the murderous look in thc Austrian's eyes, and gave up my friend os lost. Without a word being spoken, we walked on uutil wo carno to an open space, smooth, but slippery with tho morning dew. This was the spot selected by the seconda, who, apparently, were quite accustomed to such scenes, went about their duties in a steady, business? like manner. Prof. Di Prati, who had brought his aword with bim, as he handed it to my friend, whispered : "Remember-when I drop my hand? kerchief-La risposle." Tho Austrian officer disencumbered himself of his cloak, and divested him? self of all his tipper clothing, leaving his breast nnoovercd. I never saw so flue a form. Perfectly proportioned on the largest seule, ho stood upwards ol six feet high; chest, arms and back bil? lowy with muscles, ukin ns white as thal of the fair? dt lady. My fried, seeing tho fighting eosttinic adopted by the officer, threw off his blucli silk vest, as if resolving that ho would not even have a questionable advantage. In size he looked a meru dwarf to hr athletic opponoot; long, thin, wiry arms, chest narrow, skin almost as dark as ti mulatto's, and with a greyish tinge, either thc effect of cold or fear, that, ti my eyes, appeared tho forerunner ol doom. Tho second? having laid down tin swords with a hilt to eaoh combatant, rc tired and gave tho signal. The duelists picked up the swords, friend at onco betaking himself to tin new guard. Tho officer for a moment looked witl an air of surprise at the attitude, bu mly for a moment. With a grim smile he mada WdriVq^^ oro wt with ? ?1Mb. My -friend had profited by his lesson; his face was impassive, his eyea traMuil, his guard, ft?firm aaa rook. The offloer ruado a foinfc which Wu* dis? regarded-a thrust which was parried with tho left. A second foint and a .se? cond thrust were foiled in the sams way. Another feint, converted into a real at? tack, was adroitly baffled. The officer's color rose-the eyes of tho two professors woro on him-his reputation and that of bis teacher were at stake. He changed his tactics; disengaging suddonly, he raised his sword and discharged a blow at tho head with seemingly irresistible force. My little friend could only avert tho assault by receiving the sword on tho forte of his weapon and dropping as low as possible; so far was the party success? ful, but tho downward blow, which, in reality, was only tho atant courier, being followed by a thrust .meier guard, was only parried by the rapid uso of tho loft hand, this time not without doing mis? chief, for the blood was seen to flow from tho hand called into requisition. Tho oflicor, in making this last thrust, owing , to the slippery grouud, had given an | opening, which my friend, in spite of tho j previous cautions of his instructor, pre pin ed to take advantage of. Tho circum? stance was noticed by Di Prati, who frowned ominously, and muttered, be? neath his breath: "If ho break r/uard, he is lost- -bah! bravo! bravo!'" Tho words of approval wcro drawn from him by noticing what had happen? ed. The last thrust. I have said, broupht tho officer just barely within runge. By a dexterous movement of the wrist, tho paint of my friend's sword was drawn swiftly across tho officer's chest. The temper and keenness of tho Moorish weapon woro clearly proved, for tho touch, light as it uppeared, laid open tho flesh and muscles to tho bono, from the left shoulder sheer across tho breast, causing a deluge of blood to follow. The officer, finding himself severely wounded, became orimson with rage; curbing his passion, bo propared to exo cuto tho favorite niunocuvro which, hith? erto, had proved fatal to his opponents. Ho advanced on my friend, and making a strong cross to his sword, put forth his wouderful strength of wrist. My attention was called off for a mo? ment to Di Prati, who drew ont his hand? kerchief, held it n moment and suddonly dropped it. Not a moment too soon. Tho officer had made his open and delivered a thr.ist full at the body of my friend, who, hav? ing seen the handkerchief drop, brought his left hand again iuto play. This time t wo fingers fell to the ground. Tho next | instant, a terrific yell assured mo that something fatal had occurred. Larispostc] had been given; my friend's blade was buried deeply in tho lower part of tho of fleer's body. Tho officer, instinctively feeling that the wound was mortal, seized tho sword with ono baud and shortening his own, made a desperate longo only to be warded off by my friend quitting hold of his sword and leaping back out of dis? tance. The force of the thrust carried the oflicor forward, forcing his opponent's sword into his body up to tho very hilt. Tho officer cast ono look of mingled rage and hate at my friend, the last look on earth, and as he turned convulsively ! ou his back, his eyes closed in death.
