But in this age of the world, it is simply barbarous, un christian. and infinitely disgusting. The parade of chivalry and of lofty sentiment, and all the sham appliances with which the professional duel list surrounds his vocation, merit and receive the contempt and derision of every right-thinkiug man who has brains enough to reason, and cour age enough to express his true sentiments. We scorn to argue the question in its moral aspect, because it is denounced in all religions that re cognize the existence of a God, and is revolting to the instincts of every man whose expectation for the future is for a fate better than that of the brutes which perish. We have never studied the amended code, aud therefore cannot speak with certainty as to its provisions. But it contains enough evasions to suit Touchstone. In most modern duels, the ‘‘goers out” are like the King of France, who marched up the hill, and then marched down again; or like the army that swore so terribly in Flanders. In the olden time the challenger an nounced himself ready to encounter his enemy, on foot or on horseback, withs word, lance or bat tle-axe; and he would have been counted a cra ven if he had rejected any weapons that the other could propose. The choice of weapons has been with the challenged ever since the first pair of fools inaugurated the dueljo. Time, place and weapon were all beyond the control of him who invited the combat. How forlornly the safe amusement ot modern due lists compares with those old-fashioned reali ties! They are terrible in the exchange of notes, but harmless in the exchange of shots. Their pro fessed appetite for gore is insatiable, but their ca pacity for shedding it very much limited. A reputation for invincible pluck is cheaply earned by the gentleman of wounded honor without luui h risk of incurring any bodily damage. He A’ould be in greater danger if he undertook a steanitioat or railroad journey of a thousand miletj. 'i he whole thing is an atrocious humbug, if we must have these gladiatorial Buenes, let us huve real blood and not mere stage paint,—let us have fewer notes and messages and more shots and stabs. And especially ought the professed duelist to be held up to all the dangers of the code to which he appeals. If he choosca to scatter his challenges about upon any or no occasion, he should be bound- to accept whatever weapons or terms his adversary chooses. The whole affair is appropriate to the House of Representatives, and our ire is kindled when wo remember that the.sa men are injuring the good name of our country by their doings. The of fence given and taken was not one to be wipetl out in blood. Jlr. Pryor presumed upon his fighting reputation to send a challange, when no sane man would have dreamed of such a termi nation to so trifling a beginning. Mr. Potter ac cepts the challenge because he does not dare to be dared. One boy knocks a chip off the other boy’s head. What a shame and reproach upon us that both boys happen to be our National Leg islators. The cure for dueling can be found only in the free expression of public opinion through the press. The vast majority of respectable newspa pers in America (which dares to call itself a Christian land,) would express the sentiments of their conductors if they would fearlessly denounce this shameful practice. We respectfully call upon our brethren to aid us in this warfare. We address them as true men, as loyal citizens of our common country—as respecters of the majesty of the law—as con.servators of the true interests of society. It is a blot upon us so long as we toler ate these appeals to arms. If the contests are real, and murder is done under the algis of a code that defies God and injures humanity, we are bound by the highest considerations to scout it from the midst of us, as a thing belonging to the regions of the moles and the bats. And if they are sham-battles, surrounded with solemn pomp and circuinstance, we are less shocked, but more humiliated, because these representative men are earning for us unmeasured contempt. Let us not deserve it, by failing to testify against their deeds with all the power of public sentiment. Baltimore Ameriran. I — A.l^.\l AI^ HEETI.\«.

Its efficacy is so great, and its superiority so justly acknow ledged, that it is found difficult to supply the immense and increasing demand for the article. Dr. Eaton’s celebrated ‘Infantile Cordial,’ is a medicine prepared by a regular physiciau of eminence in his profession, and one who has devoted his life to the peculiar phases of Infantile diseases. It is no humbug, but a medicine which commends itself to those only who «an appreciate it.”—Apalachicola, Flo/r. Trmt*. See advtrti*»mtnt. March 24. 3- ~C’atechi»iii of U. States History, Bv B. R.

A young man (a brother to “Sly IJoots,” perhaps, for, like her, he enjoyed a j»ood jote) was studying in col lege. One afternoon he walked out with one of his in.«tructors, and they chanced to see an old pair of shoes lying by the side of the path, which ap peared to belong to a poor man at work close by. “Let u? have a little amusement at his expense,” said the student. “Suppose we hide these shoes, and conceal ourselves in the bushes to watch his perplexity when he cannot find them " “I can think of a better trick than that," said the in- stuctor. “You are rich, and suppose you put a silver dollar in the toe of each shoe, and then we will hide.” The young man did so. Th® poor man finished his work soon, and went to put on his shoes. You can imagine his surpri.«e when he stooped down to take out a pebble, as he sup posed, from the toe, and found it to be a hard dollar, and then his absolute perj)lexity and as tonishment when he found still another in the other shoe. His feelings overcame him; he tell upon his knees, looked up to heaven, and uttered aloud a fervent thanksgiving, in which he thanked a kind Providence for sending some unknown hand to save from perishing his sick and helpless wife and his children without bread. Do you wonder that the young ina(i stood in his hiding place deeply nffecteii, and his eyes filled with tears? Young friends, and you, Miss “Sly Bf)Ot«,” when you want to enjoy real fun, real pleasure at witnessing the perplexity of others, see if yon cannot in some way imitate the student. Such tricks are worth performing.
