ALMOST A DUEL; OR, The Jealous Tailors. BY STLVANCS COBB, JR. — J Jared Milliken was the tailor of Bly- ■ town. He was a young man, but an ex- , cellent tador. The people liked his fils, and his custom was on the increase. ■ Jared sat upon his board all ;done, with ! part of a coat upon his knees, and his I thimble upon his finger; but Jared wasnot' at work. His head drooped, and his bo'"som heaved. Ever and anon a low sigh ’ Would escape him, mid his hand would be pressed upon his heart. Ah, Jared was 1 in love. He was deeply, passionately in ■ love. But he was not unhappy. No, no i, —far from it. The charming girl had j promised to be his; or, at least, he looked upon it as a promise. He bad talked to i ! her of love, and she had smiled, fend spo-1 i ktn of love in return. And then he bid > tasted the nectar of her sweet lips. Yes, j ’ Ihe had kissed her a -hundred times, and >' | she had kissed him in return. j| Mo J.ir<d Milliken was ve.'";’happy. if , >he sighed, it, was f-»r love; And if he had |. : a wish unfulfilled, it w.is that he were al- , ready married. j Thus Jared sat, when the door was' t j thrown unceremoniously open, and a man .entered. He v. ■.< ■ - inull-.'ized man, bu- ’, I yet a • '.n. And as for ibct matter, Jared I ] was small ■ ized, too. . ‘How d’ye do?’ said the new comer. •Gii, Jerry, is it y..u?’ ci’i-’d Jared, ■■ r■■ i-j <■..■ .ie the part of a coat over' wl.’t J; l.e had been .-.ig'.i.-.y. t; •' . ° i ‘Why, j oiry Hopkino 1 I'm glad to .see ye!’ ■Au I I'm glad ’■> ■■■ Jared Milliken,’; rcl'irned Jerry H >pk:ns.

Jared looked at I.is visitor, and there . was a cast of pity in his contenance. For ’ . some time, the conversation turned upon matters of business, until, finally, there I : came a silence, which was at length bro-. 1 ken by Jared’s asking — I ‘What brought ye up into this section? I ‘Ah, said Jerry, with a dubious shako; of the Lead, ‘you’ll laugh al mo. ‘Lati di? No 1 shan’t laugh. What ' was it? i ‘lt was a female. ‘Aha-aha ba, ha, ha,’ laughed Jared. ; ‘Aha, ha, ha—you’ve been an:! did it, ‘ I Jerry. Oho, aha—why—Jerry Hopkins', ; —you’ve been and followed me. I ‘i'ou sail you woulden’t laugh, you,; dared Milliken. ‘But 1 couldn’t help it, Jerry. You’ve ; ; been and followed me. Alia, hi, ha!—■ ; You’ve, done well! But say—who is she, ‘ .Jerry? j ‘You must know her, Jared. She be- . , longs here, But she’s a beauty. Ob, pursued Jerry II tipkins 'she is a treasure! Short, fat, rosy:, dimpled cheeks and chin;' i blue eyes; golden hair; teeth like pearls; 1 skin all rose and lily; laughs like an angel • ! and is as happy ns the days aie long! Jared Milliken looked very much surprised. liis vistor had described ills ~ wn charmer to a point. 27/.?angel was j exactly like tha ono Jor»*y ha/l £jl. •••_ , , ingly pictured. '■What d’ye think of her? asked Jerry. i ‘Why—she must be—a—just the mate i for ye. But what’s her name? •Aha —that’s telling. But you must, know her. ‘Never mind. Tell me her name. i ‘Wei., her name is Lizzie Pingleton. J G Jared Milliken turned pale as death. — ' It was the name of his own angel! ‘Whv, what’s the matter, Jared? asked , ’ ! Jerry, in astonishment. i .; • Jpg—a—it’s only a touch of the cholic. I I have it awful. Oh! O! Oh-a-o-ol 1 > shall be better soon! ’’ ‘Well—l’ll see you again. I’m in a s hurry, now.

Hear me, ye I winged winds, forlswear.it! Death!death before dishonor!’ Jared looked out upon the green earth, I and he saw that the tun was almost down, i He put away Lis goose, and then put on' his cravat and coat. After this, he com- • posed the raging tempest that worked in - his souls, as well as lie could, and then I walked forth. He turned his steps now in j his misery, as he had so many times i turned them in iiis season- of hope and' promise. He. walked towards :'no house '- where lived his charmer and her widowed ‘ mother. Could it be possible that charmer was faithless? Wait. Jared reached the house, and he tinned his ;-.ize up to the eld piazza. There, I uu.in I'm- long settee, sat Bimtown tailor, and by his side sat—yes—it was! It was' Lizzie Pingleton! Oh! what a blow!

I’m | glad to see you. Come—ain’t you com- ; ing in? I’m all alone. Jared was puzzled.—Could Lizzie be a hyprocrite? Could she be so kind to him with the Bimtown taikor's kisses fresh upon her lips? He walked in and took a scat. •Miss Pingleton,’ lie said, choking] I some but gaining courage as he proceeded, 'Jerry Hopkins is in town.

" ; 'I think tlie Bimtown tailor is a coward, ihe said, to himself, •- think the vervl ■’ght of a pistol we-uld start him right out I of his boots. Jared resolved to act. upon this idea, lie never once thought that Hopkins ! might cherish the same thought. He had | I a pair of pistols, an enormous pair, a pair :.e . ..1 foki a for a bad debt. He once ( rm :e a full lit for Mr. blasiiaway Slam bang, and those pistols were all he ever ; gut for pay. lie brought them forth | Iruin an old chest, but the sight of them .did not terify him, as he knew they were not loaded.

J.ired Milliken strode across the t illage green, and was passing into the street,’ j when he came plump against Jerry Hop-1 kins. The two tailors recognized each ; other simultaneously, and at the same nio- ; meat each gave a Lightened start back- I | wards Jared’s two great pistols looked fierce enough; but not a wl-.it more so than did | the two enormous cutiasses which Hop- ’ kins wore suspended upon one belt. ‘Take care!’ gasped he of Bimtown, i 1 diawing a cutlass with a quaking hand. | ‘Ah-a-a-ZooA-oat/ burst from the pale hp-s of Limos Blytown, at the same time : mnnifoirig to gc-tout a pistol from Lis sash. - W - W-ba-llUv you -v...,1 i-S-rry Hopkins, retreating a step, and | liolding the ponderous cutlasses up bei fore him.

' -ixe!’ In a few moments more light feet were i iieurd pattering upon the tluor, and soon a “econd girl made her appearance. But 1 who was she? A ghost? Surely she must ha ve been. She was a ghost, or she was ‘a Lizzie ; ingle-ton. Jerry looked, and ; Jared looked. 1 here stood Lizzie, and there stood Lizzie. They were i.wo. and 1 yet the they seemed but one. Which was ! ] which? ‘Which is youis, Jared?' usktd one of! , them, smiling, Poor J.ired looked first upon one, and and then upon the other, an.l gradually ' the truth burst upon him. He knew that] Lizzie had a sister, but. be did not know i that she was a twin, sister, he never liav- 1 ; ing seen her before. But he began to de- ' ' tect a difference. •You are mine,’ he said holding out his I hand to the one who had answered their I summons. ‘Yes, Jared, yours Lilly an.l fori ver,’ i .she replied, giving him her hand. ‘And you are mine,’ ctied Jer.-y Hop- i kins, turning to the other sister. ‘Yes, I’ll be as true to you as my sister ] I can be to Jared,’ she said, allowed him ’ i to draw her upon his bosom. Ere long the enigma was solved. Eliza and Elizabeth I’iiigh-.ton were twins, and' so near alike were they in form, in size, ’ in feature, and in voice, that their must intimate filends were often at fault when ' the sisters were apart. Some years before Ehz t had gone to Bimtown, to work in a relatives family thete; end ihere Air. Hopkins Lad wcoed ' and won her. Jared had often heard his Lizzie speak of her sister El za, but he had never seen ' in r before, he having been in Blytown on-. ly a lew years. The people with whom: Eiiz i lived liked the namo of Lizzie, so] : they had called her thus; mid lints Hie was called in Bimtown. And poor Hopkins had been as ignor-: antas had Milliken, lie ha 1 followed ; Eliza from Bimtown, according io ar- j rimgement with her, and when he called upon her first it her mother's house, her ' sister was out, so he did not then see her. He sat upon the piazza with Lis own charmer. and thus Jared had seen !.i».. Later in ti.e evening, when Elizabeth came : home, Eliza went out; so Jared saw hie own charmer, and she, wicked girl that she was, saw liis errror, resolved upon ; sport 1 But al! was joy now. The two tailors cast aside- their engines of dea.h, and I shook hands with a right good will.— When another summer came, he of Bim--1 town visited Blytown again; and this tn L there were great doings at the widow’s cot Tiie minister came and performed ] the part assigned him. And then Jerrey Hookiu’s Tailor of Bimtown, introduced to Jared Miliken, j Tailor of Blytown, Mrs. Jerry liopkins. And after this Jared went through the same operation. •Jarred,’ said Lizzie- !,is own Lizzie--after she had been introduced as Mrs. Jared Milliken ‘Hopkins wants to kiss me.’ ‘Let irm do it,’cried Jared, in hi ,ii glee. -I've kissed kls wife.’ Scared to Death.—We learn that a horse a quiet, sedate bugzy horse, the property of a family near Shelbyville, Ky. was scared to death by seeing an elepliai.;. They met on the road, when the ponv gave one look vs nffiight: f,;l d-r.-. ! died.
