HSiiame shame!! fie, Signor Alonzo!!" "I do not with, gentlemen," continued Rodolph, "that reu should assume my quarrel or invidiously judge between us. Although I said that 1 should hold no further parley with this bully, I did not preclude myself the privnlege ef pulling bis nose." Saying which.and suit

ing the action to the word, the impassioned Sede suddenly grasped the nasnl protuberance of the officer, and wrung it with surprising effect; for, at first, the Italian brave reroiled, and the natural ruby of his visage abdicated in favor of a pallor, which succeeded the shame of palpable cowardice cxhibetcd before so large a campany. Willi the velocity of thought, Signor Alonzo's rapier leaped from its scabbard ad desperately darted towards the breast of Rodolph, who, with a velocity no ways inferior, clenched the wrist ol the arm that wielded it, and, wrenching the weapon frrm its infurintted master, coolly took the point in one hand and the hilt in the other, and broke it in twain across his knee. . This movement not only proved that the officer was as unsuccessful in the purchase of r.iperiers as horses, but that his strength was disproportionate to the greatness of his szt: and the volume ofhis voice. It was hailed with a general shoht, as Rodolph, throwing tht; disjecta membra of the sword out of the window, walked slowly from the apartment. This departure broke up the assemblage. The clerks, among whom were my friend, de Z and Auguste Foret, retired to their several homes, and Signor Alonzo, boiling ith wralh, marched off with his brother officer to his quarters. , Every one anticipated a bloody termination to this business, but none more calmly than Rodolph. He said that he was well aware that he had provoked almost certain death; fvrhc wpsno master of fence, and had never fired a pistol h doz-n times in his life. De Z was a fn'ehd of Rodolph, and late in the evening resorted to his aparlments. lie found Rodolph alone sittine bv a fire, read ihg a Germ in translation of Shakspeare. "Al, deZ 1 I am glad to nee jou this English author is the most uondcrful of all the poets. I cannot read him in the original, nui it sinnes me the German must be almost i.s good, for nothing could be better. Here is a most amusing scene between a Welsl captain and an English bullying ensign cal led Pisti.l. The Welshman forces the valiant swaggerer to swallow a leek. The scene has amused me, for it reminded me adoajlv of I.:. - : . . .... . J oiM.mg i rencoiuar. j wish I had read before ofthe great Captain Fluellen's valor l minic ft would have augmented my own." De Z sat bv his side, and enterii cheerfully into conversation, the evening had Miiuosi guaeu away, when a servant annonnc ed nn officer as asking admittance. Certain ly," enid Rodolph, "1 enn be seen:" and turning to de Z , he simply observed "The ennuenge : I he word was scearcel y spoken uciurc uie onicer stepped into the room, and placed Don Alonzo's cartel in the already extended hand of Rodolph. "After the insult received by mv friend Si pnor Alnnrn. Mnn. rieur Rodolph, the honor of our regiment requires that blood should be spilt, In what way will it be most agreeable to vou to kill or oo killed by bignor Alonzo! nnd when!" I hive expected this honor," replied Rodolph, "nnd will meet your friend the day after the inonow, at noon, over the Frence border, at surh particular spot as my Friend Mons. De Z shall with vourself deter mine upon. My weapon is the pistol." Here M. De Z arose, and settled with the bearer of the challenge the place and oth er necessary preliminaries. The three then eperated for the night, but the next day saw t!irtn the Imllcnger and the challenged n their way to the fatal spot, where they nul l meet without fear of molestation front the minions of the law. It was in France, beyond the roastitued authorities of Ghent. None were present on the ground save Don ALnz with his fiiend,and Rodolph with his fricitJ(anJ my friend and narrator) deZ . The requisite coolness wns displayed on both sides. AlonM, though a downright coward and bully, and one who would probably have shown the white feather in a general mf.'ce, seemed perfectly unconcerned. His self confidence was greater .han his natural fear. He was sure of his man. He could snuff a candle at twelve paces. The words of comtinnd "one, two, three," were geven by de Z Alonzo fired instantly that the word Hwov was spoken, and his ball lodged directly under his antagonist's right shoulder; the ehock causing a harmless discharge of RodoIptV pistol. Rodolph fell, and was borne by de Z and Alonzo's second to the inr riagc which stood in readiness, and in which hi was slowly re conveyed to Antwerp. The s irgeoti who extracted iho ball pronounced his patient out of dargcr, ifhc could be kept in qiiet. The clerks, who had hastened to ...... icjuu, wcic pacinea, anu no danger was apprehended. De Z w; uiaeiaiigante in his attentions to Rodofuh. m, o inai me amir was over, exhibited none ol his former coolness. He raved, he stormed, he called Signor Alonzoa villain for his firing before the word, and a bloody wretch i ensuing io murucr a lellow-rrcaturc on account of a miserable brute of a horse; he tore the bandage from his arm it was replaced .still he tore it away. No persuasion could mollify him. Tht result was a high fever and delirium. From his confessions in the latter, it appeared that he was under an engagement to be married to a young lady to whom he had lone been fondlr att.irlio.i that the day appointed fov the ceremony had already gone by. This involuntary violation of a sacred engagement on his part, seem cd to have preyed upon his mind, and to have indnced all hu wild behavior. So great and SO frequent at last became hi paroxisms, that

death within twentr-four hours unlcssa change sr... i O whs iiwniiesi. in a less time a change was manifest; but such a change! He became suddenly sane. He exhibited his characteristic coolness. He called his friend 1o hi? bedside, and thanking him tenderly for all his Kindness, said that he had one request to prefer, wbiih he begged might be granted, as it would be his last. IJe said that he felt he was dying, and that he wished to spend a portiou of the small remnant ofhis life in company with his dear old friends and nssociotcs. lie wished all the , clerks, who were in the coffee-room on the evening of his unhappy unicf, i cissemuie arounn ins tied. It was then afternoon. In the evening le Z tin iop me (.uiiue-iiouse, anu untiing the clci ks congregated. as usual, stated Rodolph's dying request. They nil every one who was present on the occasion of ll e ouairel adjourned hva body to the lodgings of their djing companion, lhey were preceded In to the chamber by de Z , who mentioned their approach. Rudolph's eyes lighted with upernatiinl fire as he saw them all. the verv yo'ithfuland the more advanced in age, gather around his couch. There were thirty-four present ; with all he was familiarly acquainted; wan an ne had lived on terms ofkindlv fi endship; with all except one, and that one was Auguste Foret. So recent had been the arrival of Auguste, and so retired were his habits of life, that he could hardly be said to have h bosom friend among all the clerks. Ail loved and esteemed him, however; for he did uotshun society, but shrank from contact with a sort of feminine sensitiveness which he vai ly endeavored to overcome. Having always lived under the atlectionate care ofhis n.other,he had ne ver learned that forwardness of manner which boys call manliness. When Rodolph's earnest request was commii'iicaled that the clerks would visit his chamber, Auguste doubted the delicacy of a stranger's intrusion at such an hour. He had nevere spoken to Rodolph. When he reflected, however, that Urn request was that all who witnessed the fracas should be present, he hesitated not to accompany the rest. The thirty-four stood in ordt r urnund the sick youth's bed. Sorrow, deep 6orrov was Im pressed on evi-ry iiiifurrowed visage, as they hearo the dreadful words uttered in hollow tones by their late joyous comrade. "Brothers," said he,-I am murdered, base ly murdered. The wretch lives who brought me io mis pans, j shall die belore morning, "e will be alive; nil will be dark to me. lie will see the pleasent sun; all will be silent to me. He will hear the birds, and oh! your voices your uear voices. I did not provoke ins insuir, oui I could not brook his ruffl.in bravado. He called me to fight him. What was bis life worth! Nothing. He dies, and his paltry pay goes to a better man. I shall die just as 1 become of age now that I am ivveniy one the very day that I have looked forward to with such thrilling anxiety passed uy me on mis wretched bed! xIy fair domains on the borders of my 1. alive river will go loa distant relative. My fair" here his emotions choked his utterance, "but this is unmanly, i do not wish to make you weep. No!" starling up with convulsive energy, and assuming a terrible expression, which was never forgotten by those present. wish to incite you to revenge! Swear to me or I shall not die in peace, swear that you will revenge mv death!" The right hands of every one in the room were raised up, and every one.borne nway by the strong excitement of the moment, uttered swear!' Rudolph'- head sunk for a moment on his pillow; and when he rose again. ma wiu w as cann. ome one nrrsont ni-mins ea mat mey should on the instant draw Inla. . . . . . . 1 i" or rather that all their names shoul I be writ ten on blips ol paper, and the name drawn by Rodolph should signify his avensrer. To thi a grnerai consent was given; and a smile of satisfaction played over the pallid features of 1 . o me uiing youth as the names were written and cast into a hat. H rose once more, hut lor the last time, on his pillow, and niacins iTiuiLMiiuiiieiion, ntsielt hand amontr lli r..i nr. ... . . names, drew lorth one which he handed to the nearest by-stander to read, nnd which wncn read, sounded like a knell on every ear. It was AtTGtfsTB Foret. "No! No! this will never do!" exclaimed every voice but two, "This will never do Auguste is a mere child he is hardly one of us. Let Rodolph draw again. lhey turned to Rodolph. He was dead. Horror struck them dumb. Auguste was the first to break the silence. "Companions, the lot cannot be drawn again; and if it could, it should not. I came voluntarily to i...:. .i.twug, mm i win atnac its event. I never knew yonder poor departed; but I know his wrong, and 1 came of my own free will to witness his death. I tm no craven. My mother's blood runs in my veins, and she was a noble's daughter.

The clerks did not, however, cease their remonstrances, although unite fruith a.

ged and entreated Auguste to allow him to ngni me duet. Kodolph was his friend he was Rodolph's second it was lus right. Auguste was immoveable. The cartel was sent by another hand. "You will, at least," said Auguste, "he present with the rest at my execution." DeZ turned away, and saw him not again until the snme thirty-four met once more on the fatal spot where Rodolph received hi death-wound. ' Before that time, however, a. ntartul interest had attached itself to Auguste. He was looked upon as doomed. The clerks had taken an oath not to divulge the secret, orihe. arm pf the law might have averted thcVatasfrophe. The v all hovered about Augusle. . They were with him day anu night, hull drowned in tears, and half roused to indignation at his obstinate firmness of purpose. Every 0ne swere to revenge him if he fell; but this he did not require. Nay, he entreated them to proceed no further nfler his death. Vindictiveness could not be felt by that calm, sweet, yet bold spirit. When parts ofhis history became known.be became an object ofintense interest. All his friends i.iid who among that number was not now his heart-devoted friend! said they would go to his mother, and be her sons. He begged them simply to convey to her his love, his last kiss, and a letter that'he would waite. How many a weary mile would I journey, what fatigues would I not endure, to see that letter! It must have breathed the soul of pathos. All things were prepared. It was a pure nuiumnai morning. Some breath of summer still seemed to linger on the breeze. The birds poured out their matin hjmns in a clear, rich strain of melody. To an opening in a broad forest, that wove elsewhete a roof of foliage beneath the sky, a party might have been seen slowly winding their way. They were followed by o hoy, who had evidently not seen his sixteenth enrimr. II una mere stnpung. His fingers were so light. uui j ci su symmetrically fashioned that, while you doubted that if so lovely a face could belong to a young man, you felt assured that the f r n f f . 1 rnl I. . . . , ... .v.... vuuiu uui uc n tomans, ins eye was bright and steady, and he trod with a firm step. When the parly halted, the serious expression which every countenance wore gave piace io its opposite of joy. "It is the hour appointed," exclaimed one, "and he is not here" -vitl' said a calm veice. The speaker was the beautiful boy It was Au b"""- an interval eiapscu. Jt is past the time," exrlaimed another; "Signor Alonzo has decamped." "Notso speedy, my brale fellow," exclaimed a gruff voice from behind; "not so speedy, we shall see presently who will decamp to h-ll!" The youthful party turned, and saw the antagonist whom lhey had come to meet, nccompanied by half-a-dozm, companions dressed in the uniform of the ofneer of the army. One of these stepped forward, and addressing the whole party, said, that understanding the challenger's friends were to be rtrecont ihv had come as the supporters of the challenged: u in. 1., .is me cnaiiengcd, they claimed the right of prescribing the form of the dued,and the more efpeciallv as Sismnr Aln u .A yielded the choice of weapons to Monsieur igiSie on account or his extreme youth Li.timuu,anu would insist on, alternate ures mat a piece of money should be tossed up lor the first fire. To this the friends of ziugusie readily acceded, as they thought he might chance on the first shot, and thus destroy his antagonist. It was true that Alonzo was a celebrated marksman. He could wing nr bill lw. .. n I 1 . 1 1 ar v . ... iii,ij;uimm ai ins pleasure. He had been successful in a dozen duels. They were every day matters to him. Auguste had neici ureu n pistol skillully m his life. He had not the nerve to hold one steady for a moment. He had practised within the past week, and could tievcr hit h marl Ilia only possible chance Io escape from death - i.uu.(tmK me ursi 8i,ot. rhe distance was marked and the parties stationed. It was a fearful sight to behold that fair, snoth ss young man, standing up in his loveliness as a d.rK ,0,r.ine brutal spoil of the soldier-rufBan before him. Auguste had throw cap, and freely over his head clustered the rich, wavy curls. In his right hand, suspended at his side, he held the pistol; in his !eft, hu ltl I . .i . icutr 10 ins moincr.

party of cleiks to Antwerp, lhey found the death of the officer had been published in the Gazet'.e, together with the name of his opponent. Auguste, fearing the effect of such Jicws upon his mother, departed with speed for his ancestral chateau, which he entered in spite of his grandfather prohibition. The old Marquis was furious at first, but when he had heard all the particulars of the encoun ter, he comforted his aristocratic conscience with the assertion that there was not a drop oi commercial Mood in the boy; but that he whs a true sinew of the old stock, and should inherit, as he richly deserved, the title and estates of the family.
