' Sich times as we've had lately,' said Mrs. Scruggins, the other day, to hercoufi dential Iriend and gossip, Mrs. Brown; 4 sich times as we've had. First comef the cholerjr, and then ihe great fire, and then the cholery agin worse than ever: and T-tf-l ?",UM,er K1 nro. " an winuiaiaM.inctMr.Md ants ahotat bimaelf.--, men , and pn vale people seems to suffer and a ctsoiU satustictiOB ft is -" but thenVter anuther great fire, it all winds jut hs mucti m ths public doe -ftliafor-tunes allays keeps cumpanv, and iu sum conseriation in k no win that there Are 'loth efs jist as inisfortunate a yotrafe, or per haps raore so. My spirits, Mrs. Brown, nave did diedful low. ana no wonder; ef men will make mile posts out of themsel ves, stickin up where every body can see 'em, its a providence if they iint talked about and slandertt There is aUys plen ty of evil tonjaes that wants mily little to set'emugoin; and then, goodness grnci ous, bow they will wagf Tliejf ruinate more characters in one day, tharjjJ doctors Will paiicntsia a .whole year; and that's aayin a good deal. I do thinlc, of all peo ple in this world, them there thai go round makiii other folks bunea thetcs, and stick in llieir probiscustst in pluses mhci'e the 'aint wanted, are the most dis pisable. 1 Ijavo't the least doubt, that one half of the quarrels and strifes, and belter feelins, that rises up betwixt friends and neighbors, it the woik of tale bearers and gossiped, who have a way of makin a heap out of null in, and what is in its self raal bad a goad deal worse ; and this putt me in mind ofa sarcamstance that cum to my hoAjtn, absut Mr. Skinkle and a widder, whose narae was Mrs. Miller, which all had its beginnin by people talkin. It made a very great and sanatory expression oh my mind, which I havn't got over yet.' You see Mrs. Miller was a buxum wid der, who Mr. Jones was settin opto, and people did say that they was ingaged. Well, one cvenin' at a tea party at the Warrhovst -IAx. Skinkle sed to a feminine friend in a iokin kind of wav. that Mrs. Miller's face was excessive red, and wun- tiered if aha diAnVimiM. AHfcoueh Mi. .l&Wku,.!,, tU fesakrine he wtt promanaun with thought he was in araelt; so what should she do, but go and tell hr conncienuai mends that Mrs. Miller paint ed, for Mr. Skinkle sed- so. Twasn't long afore the story got to Mrs. Miller's cars, and dredful mad she was, 1 leH you. The first time she saw Mr Jones arter that, she told tun), and sed she thought it a shame, to be talked about in that there way, and took on at a great rale. Mr Jones told her not to mind it, he'd no doubt Mr. Skinkle was a jokin' but no (that wouldn't do; Mr Skinkle had traversed her remitation. nml lie orter be made to 'poligize for it. Mr, Jones at last, to peacify her, sed he'd see Mr Skinkle about it,' ' and if he don't 'pol igize sed Mr. Jooos, very fearce, 'I'll make him cat up his own words.' ! 'Don't do enny thing disperate Mr. Jones, 1 std Mrs. Miller, I'll never forgive myself I if you do. ' ' 'Mr. Jones oromiscd ho wouldn't, and j though Mrs. Miller didn't know it, thers wasn't enny danger; for Mr. Jones was ihe last maa in Missouri to get in enny scrape, providin there was enny way to help it. or a easy way to get out. 1 ' Well, Mr. Jones .went to Mr. Bkinkle, and sea, ss he, Mr bkinkle, yon have in suited the widder Mrs. Miller ' How?' ses Mr. Bkinkle.' ' Yoa: sed ehe painted, ses Mr. lones 'So 1 did,' ses Mr. Skinkle. ' I want satisfaction, ' ses Mr. Jones. 'In what war?1 ses Mr. Skinkle. With that lit' Jones perposed to Ukt sumthin first, and they'd talk over the af fair artexwards. Arter a good deal of laf fin and jokin, (for they was not in arnest, of course,) Mr. Skinkle sed he didn't know enny way to settle the quarrel, exceptin it was by gettin up a little street file with re volvin pistols, loaded only with powder. 'Oh no ses Mr. Jones, 'that wouldn't do; we'd gittuk up. 'Well, then,' ses Mr. Skinkle, 'we'll have to file a duel ' ' I don't see enny way of gettin tfvef it.' sed Mr. Jones, and with that parted in high peerits to hunt up seconds. ' What is seconds, Mrs Scruggins V ask. ed Mrs. Brown, with considerable curioai- ty ' Seconds, ' said Mrs. Scruggins, ' is men who, in order to show bow strong a friend ship they have for their friends who wants to tight a duel, gits every thing fixt for 'om, and then go along and stand out of the way to see 'cm shoot at each other. It's on the same principal that brides and grooms gits people to stand up with tbsm as bridesmaids and groomsmen, 'ceptio, in deed, the last kind of ceremony is a little the most pleasaruesl. But, as i was say- in, Mr. bkuiutie ana Mr. Jones went alter their seconds. Mr. Skinkle cot a young man named Tanner, and Mr. Jones one be called Holly. Betwixt the seconds, 'twas 'greed to meet on the next Sunday at (he Pararie Hotuej At two o'clock k the a&&- ooa .' ,..'. i ? f 1 : , . .,-.fj1" Mr. Skinklei'set Mr. Jones, 6nlBatur- aajlvenin, as the was talkin it over 1 abt goifi to risk ray precious Kfe for irutjV" in. 1 want the widder to know how 1 am a sackrafisin my lift at ber aJtarv ;- f Thai's a fact so you oughtsei tit.1 Skinkle. Aint there know way to Jet lier ., know it beforehand?' 'I'll fix it ses Mr. Tanner. 1 You writa a challeng, Mr Skinkle, to Mr. Jones, and I'll find a way to let ber git aholt of it afore the duel cumtort' " Well, the challenge was writ, and the next mornin Mr. Short, a young man of ther ' qiaintance, called on Mrs. Milieu, and accidentally dropped thecJbaHenge out , of his hat on the floor. ' L ' But, Mra Scroggins, pray tetl me What u a cnauenge,' asked Mrs. Brouft. A challeng, Mrs. Brown,r said Mrf. Scruggins, 'as a very porlite little iifSUs, which one friend sends to another, (nformin him that bis fcclina is aggervated, and nutbin will ever please biia till ba shoots at bis friend, and gits shot at himself.- then there's on accountin for tastes, as Mra 's sarvant sed when he was his missus kiss her lap dog. "Botfas I was sayin, Mrs. Miller wa. the challenge, and thinkin it was all in arnest, sfte wasin a dreadful way. After rainttn away two or three limes, and scarin herrit jiioiius nun io ueaui, sne sot in tne ipc cheer, and rocked herself attost crazy. After awhile Mr. Bobinson, one of Mr. Skinkle's friends, whojuas in th secret, cum in, (accerdentalftifcourse,) an4 axed what the mauer u a. fclrs. iMilier told him all, about it, and begged him to stop them from fitin they'd certainly kill each other.

Her, howsundever, tbat.nha could prevent it. by goin to the place wflere they was U nte.r .- ' . . Mr. Skinkle surety wouldn't hare the heart to shoot Mr. Jones rite afort ktr face.' 1 Aint there on other way, Mr. Robinson?' ses Mrs. Miller. - ' None in the world ses Mr. Robinson; 'and I think, Mrs. it's your dutr to ge.

'Never mind ses Mr. Skinkle, 'the wid der won't know the diffrence. I'll shoot at you with the butt of my ridin whip. "While they was a lalkra the buggy cum tearin up the road, aad stopped along side the fence, near a big gate, which was about one hundred yards from them, in side.
