The circumstances were briefly these: Jonas purchased a pa tent bootjack of a traveling- agent, and Silas protested against the purchase as a piece of feAlcss extravagance, asserting that the patent 'jack' was no better than one he had, which was manufactured by himself of a white pine, back log I Silas' foot was hoh'e of your CHiriese affairs, but u Iregulnr but and outer of behemoth fitt ed by boots No. 16, and boot jack No. , back-log I , ,. IJdiios took offence at Silas' plitin speak ing nnd retorted bitterly, and the war ol words run h'teh. At length Silas,' who had been rcadihj the proceedings of Congress, challenged Jonas to fight a duel, uhd threat ened to call him by lh tule ,of Uooijnck Whilcomb forever, rind thrash him in the tulrrri, in. if he refused" to fiirht. Jones thought the fn'a'.tef ovef, and after due de liberation concluded he had rut her be shot thriu be dubbed Knight of the Boot jnck. So a meeting was agreedj upon, to take place the folio win; morning, in Deacon Keeil's 'later patch being somewhat remo ved from the high'wuv, und therefore favor able for the traiis'actio'n of an aftair most peiernptorify forbidden by the laws of our b,lt,- i The wen nois were lo' be tfct belliger ents' own guns, two very cufioue and orig inal nrticles, by the wny, which wiihout doubt d tied back to Hi tirftes" of Tubal Cain. They were to have no' seconds, for fear of betmyal, and afterwards a term of years in lha gray sto'ire pufuce At Concord. The preliiniiutfies' l'e?n arranged,' both pirtirs went ho ne to prepare Ihennselves for the very comfortable prospect of a breakfast of lead bullets' on the ensuing morning. I Somehow, Mrs. Wliitcorao 'got wind' of the business, and she (being a woman of spirit) called immediately on Mrs. Jones and revealed all. Mrs. Jones was a church Member, in good standing with the brethren arid sist ers, and, of course, she felt dreadfully at tho idea of being the wife of n duelist I So the two women put their heads togeth er, and between them quite a little plot was concocted almost equal to the gunpowder plot celebrated in English history. It was proposed that each lady should empty the contents of her husband's pow der horn into the river, and substitute black sand for the powder. This was according ly done, after which they awaited the re sult of the morning's rencontre with anx ious hearts. Nine o'clock found the combatants upon Deacon Reed's 'tater lot, each with his powder horn along on his shoulder, and his gun in his hand. Tho distance was meas ured off the two men solemnly shook hands, and then respectively assumed their positions. At a preconcerted signal, each raised his weapon to bis shoulder and tried to fire. But the obstinate; things wouldn't go off ? Jonas gave a hearty tug at his shooting iron, but it only snapped sulkily, as much as to say it would do as it has a mind to and no thanks to anybo dy. Silas' gun was of the same opinion, snd the men's chances of being shot seem ed rather dubious. ' Jonas, after a little while, got irritated, and squatting down on the ground, he pounded the barrel for fifteen minutes or so with a sharp rock, but wiihout producing any effect worth men tioning. Thtn Jonas rosa up, and.fliriging the g in as far as-he could over the hedge, he cried out, spitefully- 'Damnation seize the thing I I wish it was in Flanders I' I wish mine was there, too,' cried Silas, examining nis artillery minutely ; and rind ing nothing satisfactory about it, he tossed it after Jonas'. Then both men looked at each other, in blank dismay. 'What shall we do?' exclaimed Silas. I don't know,' returned Jonas, 'unless we take fists for it." 'But I can't fisht so, I've got an ajtful felon on ray right fore finger, and that'lr.be ibe in the way.' it. Silas evidently felt bad about , Well, then, suppose we kick it out ?' 'I'm sorry that I can't accommodate you' but my feet are no covered with corns that it'f onpossible, I'll bile with ye, and that's the beat I can do.'. '1 should be clad to bite : but the . truth is, my front teeth are all false ones cost fitly dollars and I kinder don't like to spile em!' 'What shall we do, then V asked Silas, in despair. 'Let's sit down here on this log and con sider the matter, I'm tired.' Jonas' red, perspiring face spoke more plainly - than his tongue. So the men sat down on ine two extreme ends of the log, and eyed each other for a while in silence. At length Silas aros. lLook here, neighbor Whilcomb, what if we should make it up? I hadn't any bu siness to say anything about your boot jaek, and I'm sorry I did. I don't doubt but your jack's a fine thing. Whitcomb sprang to his leet, ami grasp ed Jones band. 'Don't say a word about it, neighbor Jones ; it's I, only I that's lo blame. I ought to have been ashamed to have got put out at such a small thing, it was no ihin' but the truth either. 1 1 ask your forgiveness.' . 'No, neighbor Whitcomb, it's I that should ask your forgiveness.' I'm the only one that's to blame, and I feel heartily ashamed of myself. I could crawl into a boiler log and stay there a ' fortnight, if it would only undo what I've done.' 'My dear friend. I beg leave to assure you that it is I, not you, that is in error. and' 'I tell you, Whitcomb', it is no such thing. It's all my fault ; and, as I said, 1 am so ashamed that 1 could' 'I am one that ought to creep into the hollow log, and stay there til! 1 learn bet tar than to treat a good neighbor in such a shameful way. I'd ho business to get mad with you for 1 'Yes you did tool You did just fight; just as any christian man' would have done, and now, as it's my fault' 'It ain't so I I tell you that I'm the one that's to blame. It's all my Ungovernable temper. I've got ihe ugliest temper of any man in Wheal wold.' - , , 'Why, neighbor Whitcomb, your temper can't hold a candle to muie. I was allers called the quarrelsomeal boy in school, and you know it. So it's me and not you that ought. to apologize.' . ( , 'It's false I And if you don't stop con tradicting me, I'll let you know I've got a temper worth having, I'd jest as leave fight about tempers as boot jacks.' Whitcomb was getting slightly exaspera'ed. . 'So had I,' cried neighbor Jones, and at it they went, pulling, striking, kicking, s ' via a' a cuinng ana Diung. f eions, iaise teem ana corns were forgotten, and there was a gen eral knppk down. ; Jones rolled over in the mudwiih Whilcomb uppermost, or 'top permost,' as he afterwards expressed it to his wife; notwithstanding his disadvan tage, he managed to bite a ' piece out of Whitcomb's left ear, and" Whitcomb very kindly returned the compliment by imprm t.ng a glorious scratch on Jones' temple. The contest lasted until the strength of the champions was completely spent. Jones was lying submissively in a shallow ditch half filled with Togs, mud, snakes and Water, (the ditch, not Jones,) while Whitcomb was 'romantically situa'ed 'his head resting on a rotten stump, and his feet hanging gracefully in a hetehbo thorn bush. , . . .... v - . . ' " 1 here was a long silence over Ueacon Reed's 'later patch, if we except a littla hard breathing proceeding, from the tho- s : hut at length Whitcomb called out faintly Jones?.' Well !' ... 'Let's get up and go home.1 'Agreed ! But how are we to dp it?.' Poor Jones was evidently in the 'slough oft despondency. , Wail a little, and we'll feel better. Did scratch your face bad V -'No, no ; nothing of the least conse auence. uul l bite vour ear bad 7' 'Don't mention it, my deaf Jones, it aint worth thinking of I shouldn't wonder if it was well nigh healed up by this time.

"A visit to ihe'printing office afforded a rich treat On entering the first room on tnerigni nanu mree law 'sningies were on the door : on one side was a rich bed French blankets, sheet?, table cloths, shirts, cloaks and rugs, all together : on the wall hung hams, maps, venison and rich engravings', onions, portraits and boots ; on the floor were a side of bacon, carved to the bone, corn and potatoes, stationary and books : on a nice dress ins case stood a wooden tray half full of dough, while crockery occupied the professional desk.

"Then, Ellen, you will have tojrcsign fashionable society," "No matter, I shall see the more of Fred." ;You must give urj expensive dress," "Oh, Fred admires simplicity,'' "You cannot keep a carriage.' "But we can have delightfnl walks." "You must take a small house and fur nish it plainly." "Ye.", for elegaut turniture would he out of place in a cottage," "You will have to cover your noor with cheap, thin carpets."" , ; "On, then I can hear his steps sooner." LADIES' FAVOURITES. ing remarks of Addison : "I hdve found' that the men who are really ine most fond of the ladies who cherish for them the highest respect are seldom the most popular with the sex. Men of great as surance whose tongues are lightly hung who make Affords supply the place of ideas, and place compliment in the room ot sentiment are their lavountes. A due respect for women leads to respect- tul action towards tnera ; and respect is mistaken by them for neglect or want of love. CAPE FEAR HOTEL, SMITHVTLLE, N. C.
