He at once summoned his Grand Vizier, who hastened to obey. He thus addressed his Premier : " 1 feel very disconsolate; I had a dioam last night, when I beheld all the women of my kingdom nt tho foot of my throne, beseeching me to help them. Their grievances were that they wore unhappy, asking me to remove their wretchuess; I mnst admit, it is trne, their lot is very hard." The Grand Vizier replied : "Sire, I as sufo yon that there is no ground for their complaint, and that among nil not one would consent to exchange her condition." "1 am aware that my ministers are always ready to deal in such phrases,' whenever they ave reproved, that the people and their interests nre neglected. But, I swear by Allah, I shall have you strangled if you do not produce, in the space of one month, one happy woman. Do you hear ? but one single instance out of my whole kingdom. It is certainly u demand of no great hardship. And now you may go in peace, and I shall expect your return after one month. But. if you have not complied with my commands by that time, fear my wrath." The Grand Visier rotlred disheartened, ns you. my gentle readers, may well imagine. lie at ouce sought uu interview j with the president of the Bagdad police, j from whom he obtained poor comfort. who expressed a serious doubt whe'her if one happy woman could be found in 11aroun al Rase bid's entire king-Join?nay, in the whole world Leaving liiui with a heavy heart, the Premier undertook tlm task himself, well knowing that his life ; I was at stake. As a map of opto under- j ; standing he commenced his inquires with j I rhA Snltana. Taken bv surprise, she rc- , plied: "Do you expect me to be happy when the Caliph scarcely devotes un hour to me, hut instead walks tho.dnots all night in disguise, whilst I mud Lc filled ? with coustaiit dread of his meeting with some accident at any time. Do not think i of it! The very poorest woman ! ? happier I than I am." The L'4?t down. 1 ;ft thu paluprv I wlicn lie nu?t 4 maiden with blooming* cheeks carrying a water vessel on hothead, and singing merrily she went ?-1 He called to her, saying, "Art thou happy ?" "I happy ? Oh, no! I am as handsome as the Sultana, and should like to be in her place. I know thut I woul I plcasu 1 the Caliph as well, if he would but direct j his attention toward me." Again defeated, he left her, cogitating upon new adventures. Suddenly he i thought of his own wife, and asked her : ! "Are vou happy?" "Happy!" she an- , ~ y r swercd, "with such a man; it would, indeed. he a difficult undertaking " Ifi! had already turned his back upon her, and was aL?ut to try his fortune with ' some other ladies of Bagdad. Win n the j farther ho went the less hopeful ho was. I Whenever ho inquired, nothing but com-1 plaints, the same fatal result. Admitted, that it was rather a peculiar idea to ask the ladies whither they arc happy.? Would they tell the truth? The 41 rand Yirier thought so. In his place, I would have seriously questioned it. He went to tho market place, and there asked an honest woman, a vender of dates. In reply to his query, whether bIic was happy, said: "Happy? I happy? No, indeed 1 I work from moriiincr oarlv until evening * . V luto ami beared? make a living. 1 am obliged to rise early and retire Into to my rest, not having earned enough frequently to pay for a scanty meal." Fool that I was, the minister concluded, that T should couio here to look for a Lip py people, and quickly went to the house of a rich Jewish banker. She certainly must be happy, reflected the Vizier; she is comfortably situated, clud iu the richest of apparel, decked with the most costly jewelry aud surrounded by slaves to do her bidding. She knows neither care nor want. "Alas!" was the reply to the genera) question, turning her handsome dark eyes with longing toward heaven, "Sir, 1 am ..nl.nnnl. ,iP till Wnnifin 111 liuL'J.ld. IIIC UIUBV lllllltl|>^J .? Ml. f. ^ My husband loves naught but money and money matter*, leaving his wifo to her own sadnes9. A wifo is like unto a flower, but to live and flourish when supported by the majestic palm tree, but neglected and forsaken, as (lie wifo is without love, she is made to wither." "By the Prophet, ono who loves her husband with such ardor, certainly deserves io be happy. Where shall 1 find the desired person ?" The sigh had hardly escaped his breast when, as if pursued, he ran to the oppo j site part of the city. There dwelt a w uinn who had been married hut two uiontl ago. He exclaimed, "I have found he I have found her," nnd entered the horn with joy. 4;Hail to the happy woman," were h words of greeting, making a low bow I the yonng wifo, and waiting with anxjet for an answer. ' Ilappy, I happy ?" replied the youn bride, shrugging her shoulders. 4,Oh, n< no longer 1 My husband gives me not moment'* pence, lfe cannot bear to leav aic alone for an instant. I know ho lov? me, but he repeats the story too often, an if a pause does ensue, he thereupon expeel me to begin. He swears some thousnn times n day that he lovej-mc, yea, he sea it with the most awful oaths, and secu not to be satisfied until I join with him i a like strain. At first,'this little gaui was quite pleasant, hot now?" The ili-"fated minister now began to d? spair. He abandoned his search in tli capital, and was now determined to tr the country. Hut in spite of his zeal, h there, too, did not succeed?could notdi: cover the precious pearl demanded bj th Caliph. Besides, the time uilotte'd wn nearly at an end, and he had hut one inor village to explore. When about cntcrin; it, he observed a peasant and his wife ii the field. The latter was crying aloui because leer husband had struck her.Thc Vizier separated them and said t the man, "It is not right that we shouh render our wives' lives miserable." " I miserable ! I unhappy !" exclaimot the wouian; "on the contrary, I am ver; happy." "liut did I not see your husband etriki you?" True, he does strike m<s at times, bu it matters not; ho is able also, to protcc mo with a strong arur." ' 'i lion you admit yn? know what it is to bo happy?" ' .Mo-t pjrtaiuly; I au? perfectly happy.' '1'ho Grand Vizier, now relieved of hi< heavy burden, exclaimed: " Finally, final Iv, I have found one happy woman;" anc he triumphantly took her to lingdad. tAppearing with hi* dbwjuri t before tlx Caliph, the latter said : "Well, you have found a happy woman V' "Oh, mighty Calipil," exclaimed the pens-nit's wifr; at hi*' f?Pt, w havo mercy up<>n inc. miserable "U hat is that?" tho ("Irand Vizier be came frightened, spying: "Did you not ti ll in.* that you were happy?"

Haroan al Rusehitl addressed his premier, with a malicious smile upon his conntcnauce, " 1 pardon you, f.r during your nhsc|?S'.! 1 huve diapovorod a iiappy woman even here in Bagdad " Opening hia eyes widely, the Vizier naked, Here in Bagdad?"

" The Prairie Duel Fifteen yoaru ago, when the OnatWest Boomed to ho niutth further west thun it docs in these days of railroads, that '-bell all croati..n." a remote patch, or corner ol one of the prairies, was counted by the fuw hunters and settlers occupying it as n district in itself, and they cnlled it Little Klk l'raiiie. Among the half wild char actors who had built for themselves hovel? of drift wood and brush on this bit ol rolling plain, was a huge, huikiug fellow, of mixed French Canadian, Indian and negro blond, whoso name was Mendboar La val. A complete savage in appearance bis clothing, whether in summer or win ter never consisted of more than two gar uients? a ragged shirt and trowsors, the material of which was rendered problemat leal by age and dirt. The mass of woolly iron gray hair by which his head wai thatched, was crowned by somethiug tha had once been n portion of u hat; aad hi: immense stockingless feet were thrust in to rude cowskin shoes, with holes cut ii them to accommodate certain peculiaritie of shape and pedal excrescence. Fron his huge size and muscular development Laval was more thnn a match for any od< of the dwellers of Littlo Kilt Prairie none of whom were "chickens." as re gards physical strength. Kntircly dovoii of education?for lie did not know on letter of the alphabet from another?nc vcrthclcss, the great coarse fellow had sort of chivalry about him which might o might not liavo been derived from hi Freuch blood. His appreciation of tk i benefits and etiquette of dueling was in o- tense, and ho had more than onco killed is his antagonist in a fair fight, r, A much tnoro dangerous man to deal e with than Laval, was Iiabnkuk Sams, by origin a Yankee, as his name denotes, but is a prairie man by predilection and long to residence. ,;Hab.," as he was called by y the men of the plain, was a thin, wiry man of middle age, with a brick red comg plexion, aiid-very light hair. He was an 9, excellent marksman, and had a reputation a for courage, shown iu encounters with In-o diatis and hears; but lie always preferred ;s mild stratagem to skili or strength for the d discomfiture of his foes. He had several ts disputes with Laval, on the. comunyi basis d of accusation that each was in the habit Is of stealing animals from the other's traps, is This, in tlio code of the plains, was an n unpardonable offense. Men caught in the ic act have frequently hoen killed on the *> spot, and when tho offender wag an Tndii an there are traditions of his having been e tortured before being put to death.? y Whether Hab Sams had ever defrauded e Laval by purloining fur creatures from the !- traps se^ by the latter never transpired.? e But that Laval was a fur thief was cstabs lished beyond a doubt, when he was seen e carrying to his hovel one day, a bluck g wolf caught in a trap act by Hab, and n which the latter had left there purposely J to test the honesty of his rival. Hab's - first idea was to fire upon the purloiner 0 of his property, and so adjust the matter J without any need of furthor reference or < appeal. On further consideration, how1 ever, he approached Laval, and. taxing < y him with the theft, demanded restitution I of his property, or "reason why." "Take ] t that, then." howled the huge fellow, hurl- i ing the wolf with such force at Hub that I t It knocked him down and sent him spin- 1 t nine a distance of several feet. In a mo i ment Hab Sains had risen on one knee, r a nn/1 Aim nf lito nnf o r?f\r\ iof I but without effect, owing to tho flurry c ' caused by the suddenness of the assault, c , On proceeding to reload his rifle, he re- 1 . membcred that he had no powder; but 1 i Laval was in a .similar predicament, for all t tlip powder in the place had becu expend- ? , ed hi a recent hunt, and they were wait- 1 . the arrival of a messenger from the nearest f trading post. Drawing their knives, the ^ , two npproafhed each other ftr a deadly a > conflict, which would have Iwen an uno- a rjual one, however, owing to the superior w strength of Laval, who was also a protl S| cient in tho use of tho knifb. Knowing oi how slight his chance was with such an antagonist, Hub Sams paused, and looking I fixedly at Laval, said, " If you aro a man( cl and not a cowardly sneak, you will tight it d out with me another way, and give mc an w equal haiice of uiy life." "What way do ei you waut to settle it then?" said the other "I'm as good as you anyhow, and ain't P afraid to get square with you any way you P ploaie. Name your plan, and I'll go you w even on it." "Well then," rejoined Ilab, tl "here's what we'll do, if you have heart ei enough to do it, as I have. Lot's go to the w place where tho prairie dogs burrow, away T over there. The rattlesnakes that live there b arc big, and unfailing with their deadly V fangs. Let each of us choose a burrow, lie down in front of it, thrust his arm in c,( to the shoulder, and .wait to seo which of b us will die first. You're too white-livered a a follow to fight it out that way with me) Sl eh?" Fearful io hack out from this horri- b bio proposition lest bis reputation for valor might become tarnished forever, Laval si agreed to it, trusting that if one only keeps still, rattlesnakes are not ant to bite si * The matter was arranged as followsti , They were to meet next morning, half an o k hour before sunrise, with ono witness, who ti i was to act as umpire for both. The bur- r . rows in which they were to place their b , bands were to be selected by this umpire, o f who was to see them properly and impar- I tially placed. There they were to remain t< | until the first ray of the suu beamed above b . the horizon, a few minutes before which p it is the habit of rattlesnakes to crawl r . forth from thoir dens. The utnpiro was c . to notify thorn of the riso of the sun, at v i which moment they were to be free to go t . thoir ways, should they escape the fangs p of the venomous rentiles. The honor of v ? both was then to be considered as fully t t satisfied, and from this there was be no li a appeal. It must have been a terrible time, e . that quarter of an hour before sunrise, to c i tlio victims of tho etiquette with which c s the duello ever has been rendered rouian- b i tic. Perhaps Hub Sauis did not feel it v P> acutely as his rival, for reasons best known t e to himself. a Tho first gleaui of dawn now reddened h . upon tho horizon, and at a word from the t ] umpire Hah Sams sprang to his feet, cx 1 e pressing by a loud whoop his satisfaction i at having couio safely out of tho terrible A a ordeal. Not so with his rival, who lay v r where the umpire hud placed him, mo* ( ? t ion less as a log. On examination, it was a e found that he was in a death-like swoon, f i* from which he was with difficulty recover- r i ed by the free use of whisky. Sheer t fright had got the better of the man's t brute courage, and brought him to the I brink of death. Hab Sams, as already hinted, had reasons of his own for pre- i serving bis equanimity of mind tnrough- i out the fenrfal ordeal. A little after sonset the previous evening, when the rattlesnakes had retired for the night, he took the precaution of stuffing a number ' of the dens in that part of the prairie 1 agreed upon for the rendevouz with a 1 sort of weed that is most noxious to the 1 snakes, rendering them torpid for many 1 hours, and unablo to crawl or strike.? 1 <o Iton Vn?> 1-OA ln/vannifw fvitimnliAr) J xiiin 10 uuvr x aimvu niggiiuivj uiuhi^uvw over brute strength, and Bcndbow was ' ever afterwards obliged to knock undor to 1 Habakuk Sams, when personal fortitude ^ was the subject in hand. 8 . I FISK AND ST0KE8. I c A STORY WITH A MORAL. The Story of Fisk and Stokes may now " be said to have touched its climax and con- 1 elusion. Let us see if there be not some moral in it worthy the attention of young ^ men outside, as well iuside, of New York. ^ A New England boy, neither better nor ? worse than the average of his fellows com- a me rices active lifo with one, and only one, ^ object in view. He was poor, and bis *' family for generations back bad been poo?; -* ho therefore, dotcrmiuod to be rich?hon- ^ estly if he oould, dishonestly if be most* 81 From a clerkship in a country store he 81 climbed to the top of a peddler's cart, and ^ from thence made his way to the junior 8* partnership of a large dry goods house. w Here was a competence in prospective a cut competence in prospective was not what he wanted. He must leap at onoe ^ nto fortune's arms; he must gain wealth, iot as the reward of long and patient inlustry, but by a brilliant stroke, a triek t,( if financial legerdemain which nothing :ould excuse?except success. The man w< mew by intuition how success succeeds: L iow it covors with its glittering robe ten nc tiniiaand f imnu mnrn aina fhnn flio vhiln ;arments of charity can ever hide. So ^ 'ink left the "pent-up Utica" of Boston w' or the.'"boiindlcss continent" which New 00 fork affords. He found a congenial spirit a< nd a valuable partner in Jay Gould, nd together they stole a railway. Here m ras an ocean of money gathered by a Wl ingle magnificent coup J'ctat. Into this "P eeau Fi.sk plunged and revelled, as ? loujrh it had been his native element. v|' Tis houses, his horses, his carriages, his lothes, his steamboats, his operas, his iainonds, and his concubines were the onder of the nation. Thousands of hou t0 st, hard work inguien who saw the gay ou Prince of Erie" dash through Central ^ei ark in his gorgeous equipage with some Ml arisian nymph by his sido, wondered an' hy Providence gave him so much and P0* icm so little, and questioned whothr, alter all, impudence aud rascality e<* ere not better than modesty and integrity. he crack of a pistol burst that glittering ?f nhblc and drowned it in blood. Fisk fell ^ y the hand of the man whom he had be- ^ iended?the man whom ho had made the Mitidunt of his vices nud the sharer of is spoils. He died "unwept, unhonored nd unsung," aud a grave dug in the . now on a black and barren hill-side hid iui and his devices out of sight forever. ... P* The career of the murderer is quite as # * CU uggestive as that of the murdered.? ^ !toke9 came from what ia termed "better ^ tock" than Fisk ; his social and edueaAS ional advantages were superior to those ^ f his victim, and his responsibility was, herefore, greater. Hich enough for all ensonable wants; blessed with hoalth, oauty. fond parents loving wife and hosts ^ f friends?what more could he desire? ? c le desired to be a fashionable man about p own, an elegant roue, a luxurious de- ^ iiuchee, the pet of frail women, the comanions of unscrupulous adventurers, the jj otten flower of a rotten civilisation he acomplishcd his desires. Ho exchanged ^ rife, family, friends and reputation for he society of the demi-monde and the >osition of a graceful vagabond. Among ^ ropien of easy virtue and men ot no vir- jjj ue at all he wasted his time, squandered pei lis money and sold for less than Kssau's ^ ness of pottage the priceless heritage of an jjC inspotted name. Honor, manhood, decon- m( y?all that lift's human nature above the ^ irute?were eradicated. Fisk trusted him ritli his secrets and his mistress. He be.- jn rayed the one, robbed him of the other, fQ| nd then shot him. ^For two years Stokes ^ ins occupied a felon's cell, suspended be- fla ween life and death; for four years, if ra 'ate spares bim, he will wear a convict's ' iniform and be buried in a penitentiary. Vhcn he emerges from that burial be rill walk the world with the brand of E ?ain upon his brow ; society will shun him *1 s if he wero a leper; his family and ^ fiends will merely tolerate, and the com- M uunity loathe, and despise him. lie is 1 th :ursed, with mi everhMtingfewM for whiafc here is do relief here whatever then Mf >e hereafter.
