> How to Make #p'a Quarrel: | William Ladd was the President of the American “Peace Society, and he believed that the principle. of petice, carried out, would maintain good. will -among neighbors as well as nations. ' But ‘thfere was a time-when he had not fully considered this subject—had not. thought much about it—as I daré say many of my young readers have not, and he believed that if a man struck him a+blow, it was best and fair to strike back again, without eonsidering if there were not some better way of overcoming the offender, or if a man did him an injury, why;as people oo.m"mQle say, he

would ‘give him asgood ad he sent.’ sHe then had a ?atlm, and a poor man who lived on' land adjoining his, neg-. lected to keepih’{j a fénce which it was WMdsiness to keep in order; ‘and in consequence,hissheepgotinto William’s wheat field,and did much mischief.— William told his man Sam to go to the neighbor, and tell him he must mend the fence and keep the sheep out. But the sheep ecame in again, and William, ‘who is a very orderly man himself, was provoked, : e “Sam;’ said he, ‘go to that fellow, and tell him that if he don’t keep his sheep out' of my wheatfield, 111 ﬁ)avé them shot.’ Wil g !

"Even that did not do—the sheep were in again, « Fi ot ol

‘Sam,’ said William, ‘take my gun and shoot those sheep.” P ‘T would rather not,’ said Sam. - ‘Rather not, Sam? why there are but three; it’s no great.job.” ‘No sir; but the poor man. has but three in the world,and I'm not the person ' that would Jike to shoot a poor mar’s sheep.’ [ ‘T'hen’ the poor man sheuld take proper care of them, I-gav‘e'ﬁhm warning; why did he not mend his fence?” *

‘Well sir, I guess it was because you sent him a rough kind of message; it niade him mad and he wouldn’t do it.’ ‘I comsidered a few minutes,” said William Ladd, ‘and then I told Sam to put the horse before the buggy.’ Rl *Shall I put in the gun?’ said Sam. ‘No,” said 1.. I saw he half smiled; but I said-nothing, . I got into my bn& gy and drove up to my neighbor. He lived a milé off, and I had a good deal of time to think:the matter over:’ ' |

- When'l drove up to the house, the man was chopping wood. . There were a few sticks of wood, and the house was poor, and my heart was softened.— ‘Neighbor!” I ezlled out. pmy e “The man looked sulky, and ‘did not raise his head. = - i e

‘Come,come,neighbor,’ said. I, ‘I have come with a friendly feeling to you, and you must meet me half way.’ : - He saw I was:in earnest, laid down his axe and ecame to the wagon. =~ '

‘Now neighbor,’ said I ‘we have both been in- the wrong; you neglected your fence, and -1 got angry, and sent you a provoking message. Now let us face about and both do right. Tl forgive you. - Now let’s shake hands’ . = ~He didn’t feel quite like giving me his hand but he‘let me take it.:

‘Now,’ said I, ‘neighbor, drive your sheep down tomy pasture. | They shall share 'with ‘my sheep till next spring; and you shall have all the-yield, and next summer we will start fair.” . . .

His hand was no longer dead in mine, and he gave me a g’oog friendly grasp. The tears'came into his €yes, and he said—¢l guess you are a c¢hristian, William Ladd, after all.” e At

‘And the little fracas with my neighbor about the sheep, was the grst step to my devoting myself to the Peace Society— Clevelgnd Leaflets. = = e e lieyertaliedk 1 1 ko A Terrible Duel. . ..

A few years since as a new England gentleman, whose name we shall call Brown, was passing a few days at one of our western cities, he had the'misfortune unintentionally to offend the susceptible honor of a tall militia Col. who wasone of his follow boarders.— His apologies not being satisfactory, al challenge was sent him, which, however, he declined upon conscientious scruples. The colonel who; by the way had won.in two or three encounters quite a reputation as a duelist, at once conceived the idea that his opponent ‘was a cowird, and resolved to disgrace ‘him in the presence of -all the assembledfi}sdom of the house. Accordingly the nmext day/ at dinner time, in marched the duelist, armed with a cowhide, and advancing to Brown's ‘chair, proceeded to ‘dust his jacket in the most approved style. . Brown was as-, tonished. ~ Luckily he had: been a lieutenant of militia in his native State and He knew the importance of incommoding his enemy by a diversion. ' So, seizing a''gravy tureen he ‘tossed. the contents of it full in the face of the ‘beligerent colonel, and before he eould recover from the drowning sensation thus ocoasiored he sprang upon the table anma to shower upon him | with' a'liberal hand the contents of the dishes aroonfl - faws a 0 s

‘You are an infernal—" = “Coward!’ the Colonel was about o say. but at that moment a plate of greens struck full ipon his month, and’ the word was blockaded, lost forever.

LIGONIER, IND. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1858,

‘Hal _cried the New:: ander, whose bloed was now up, ‘fon reens are you?! Take a potato, 008 and he hu‘r{;d a telling vomy of%ntd potatoes at him. ‘Excellent eggs, capital ‘with calves head; "aud ecrush ¢ame a plate of_soft; boiled eggs against the aiE,e'df his cranium. L ; The blows of the cowhide which had hitherto fallen upon the Yankee’s head and shoulders now began to fall more weakly and wildly, and it bécame evident that the assailant, half stunned’ choked and partially blind, was getting the worst of it.. I:{is courage was 00zing out. - i | ’

‘Take a turkey!’ phouted Brown, as a noble old gobbler descended fairly. on the colonel’s head, and bursting J;led his hair and eyes with delicions looking stuffing; *here’s the fixings,’ he ‘continued, as ‘the ‘squash and jelly followed after. = .

By this time the colonel was irretrieveably defeated; and his merciless opponent seized a huge plum pudding, steaming hot, and holding above his head and ‘seemed #bout to bury him beneath it. -He quailed in terror, and made a rush for the door. - :

‘Stop for the pudding!. Colonel, stop for the p,t‘xd_d_in%!’ shouted Brown. ° ‘Pudding! colonel.puddding!’ scgeamed his fellow boarders, amid convulsions of laughter. . ‘But the colonel was too terrified, and he did not cease running until he had locked himself into his room. il o

-But. although’ the <olonel escaped from thé pudding, he did not escape from the ridicule which the affair occasioned. He subsequently ehallenged four persons against whom his ire was particularly excited, and_ they consented to fight, but availing themselves of the, privilege of the challenged party, appointed pudding bags for the weapons At length the un%iappy duelist finding that no one was willing to shoot or to be shot at, was -obliged %6 quit' ‘the State. .o ; ; .

" Shelly and the Yankee Captain. The ‘following 'is‘'a description of a visit made by Sheily and . Trelawny to an American vessel lying in the port of Leghorn: o e ‘lt 1s but a step,” I said, ‘from these ruins of the worn out Greece to the New World; lets board the Yankee clipper.” [pua ; b 240 e . +] had mather not have any more of my hopes and illusions mocked by sad reality,’ said Shelly. e “You must allow," T amswered, ‘that graceful craft was designed ' by a man who had a poet’s feeling for all. things beautiful; let’s get a model and build a hoat like her.’ >

The idea so pleased the poet that he followed me on board of her. The Americans are a social, free and ' -easy pcople; accustomed -to take ; their own way, and to readily yield the same priv ilege to all others, so that our coming on board and’ the e¢xamination of the véssel, fore and aft, were not considered as intrusive. The captain was on shore, so I talked to the mate—a smart specimen of a Yankeé. When I commended her beauty, he said— = ‘I do expect, now we ‘have our new copper on, she has the look of a brass serpent; she has a sleek rum and her bearings are just where they sho’d be.’ 1 said we wished to build a boat after her model.

‘“Then T calculate you must go to Baltimore or Boston to get one. . There is no one on this side of the water that can do the job. We have elegantgaccommodations, and you will be across before your friend’s beard is ripe for the razor. Come down and take-an observation of the:state eabin. "

The Yankee wonld not let us go until we had-drank to the memory of Washington'and ‘the ‘pros?eri‘fy of the Amerieart; Commonwealth. # ¢As awarrior and a statesman,’ said Shelly. “he was righteous in all he did —-unlike all who lived before or since.

DISCOVERY & SETTLEMENT of AMERICA. e o Pl Sl e GBS 0 = g e il B?olfe‘ée -me, fellow-citizens, I rise with no pretensions to eloquence in addressing you upon this 82d anuiversary of our National Independence, for itis not possible for any eloquence to equal the rising majesty of the people’s spirit —but 1 come before you as.a citizen—one who loves his country and her institutions, and my tongue is fraught with the spirit of American liberty. In this, and this alone, consists my evloq’uénoé,’ for this has its scat in the hearts of the people. Were I asked to give. the key to our Nahp’ai eloquence I would instinctively point you to the Declaration of our, Independence—that great and measurable charter of our civil and’ religious liberlies, bequeathed to us'as: a rich legacy, baptised in the blood of

our; revolutionary ‘heroes, for . there, there is the embodiment of American eloquence—every line,” every sentence and every word has a tongue of flame and, a voice of inspired oratory —speaking forth the long echerished sentiments of the great Ameriean heart.. '~ It is as true of nations as individuals, that past reverses are merged and forgotten in present prosperity, hence today we ouly recognise ourselves as A merican freewen, surrounded by all the paraphanalia of National power and National glory,—a proud, bappy and independent Republic, commanding and receiving respect,not as a matter of courtesy or charity solely, but as a matter of right and of comity from all other powers, - : e

- We are indeed a great People—-we are millions strong—we have ships sailing upon every sea—our commerce extends to the ports .of every other Nation, and to be accompanied by the American flag upon the high-seas; is to be hotiored and: proteeted, and, the influence of America, whether in peace or in war, is felt, and acknowledged by the whole world. -ay |

1 believe the seeret spring tb American power, American influence, American enterprise and intelligence, con-? Sisfs»i’?; the isolated f‘;ict"tbat .eaéb_ and every American citizen lis a sovereign freeman, and as such hasa vovice in the councils of his ‘Nation. His interest is the interest of the Government, and in turn the intcrest of the Government is his interest, and believing himself in possession of the power to exercise am influence, in the deliberative assemblies of his country, he devisés plans, adopts. measures for its promotion and well being, shancs alike in its prosperity and adversity, and here arises our. jealousy as Americans, for our own peculiar institutions, for the interest of one is the intcrest of all in a. National point of view; we are impelled onward by the same common motive to obtain the same common end. The individual heart of every member of society beats in unison with the great National heart—blending together as_ part and parcel of the same, so that an -approving ordisapproving’ chord, carhot<be ‘touched, but what it will send an electric thrill vibrating through. the whole body polis tie and corporate; and being -thus uited and ' woven together,” gives to us our power, stability and reputation. =

_And this all is. the result of liberty of eighty-two years standing—the 'lib. erty for which our forefathers, many of them, fought bled and died to achieve, for themselves, for us and all coming genérations. These old patriots have fallen asleep, and entrusted their sacred charge to our keeping, with directions to carc for and to foster, and, I believe, the result shows that we are obedient’ sons, and.that theuwr exertions wé‘t,e‘; not thrown away upou an-idle specilation; these then are the" fruits of liberty in 1858, TSI g o But there is another wiew. of this question underlying liberty, ‘long before its birth and coronation, which we deo ‘not so fully realize—for the most of .us have heen rooked in the eradlo of libor, ty from our earliest infancy, and know but little about thie trials and sufferings iricident'to its achievement. ~We; to+ day,enjoy libertyin its realizition, cou st with ll it plensures and bics‘j sings, while our forefathers knew it on-, dy m»a?t‘impato& eounected with-all its

mountable obstacles, in the way of its achivements, : Loy -

Then pause with me, my fellow citizens, for a few moments, while we roll back the ear of time, throw up the curtains which divide us from the past ages, and resurrect our early fathers to life; and by reason of liberty and the oracles of reason, take a panoramic view of America as it was; and in order to do this effectually \§e must’ wipe out all the cities und towns of America—blot out the present inhabitanis, and again draw the dark mantle of the forest all over this western continent—clothing it in all iits original majesty, of sul. len gloomy Klled with its hordes of savI amygne of those who believe that there was "an overruling providence guiding and Bimcting men and circumstances to the sure attainment of civil and religious liberty in Ameriea, and I shall endeavor to present the links, and put togethor the chain of facts cont ributing to this end. - I

Look back, if yon please, witli-your‘ mind’s eye, nealy four hundred years, and you will discover a Christopher Columbus, of Genoa, in Italy, a poor wool-comber, disrespected by many, respected by a few, but denounced by most, as a crazy fanatic, yet he, ke rises majestically as the- first beacon light, like , some tall seraph, pointing away down through the vista of coming time with the unerring finger of inspiration to Amerigan liberty, for had thece been no Christopher Columbus, we have no reason to believe this continent would have béen discovered, and were it not discovered then we could have no A~ merican liberty. His very resolution—the character of his mind, and the conceptions of his mighty genius, added to his unyielding perseverance. All, all point with a mathematical certaintyto the fact that he but fulfilled . the design of his creation in the discovery of this continent. For twenty long years he was projecting this voyage and applying to the different courts of Europe for pecuniary aid, and as often refused, ‘yet 'he_d?d not despair. = No, there. was a living coal, like prophetie inspiration, burning upon the altar of his heart, that conld not be quenched; as fixed and definite in its purpose as the fiat of the Kternal. No one can doubt but such ‘was the design of his very creation—more especially when we_take into consideration the fact that age after age had passed away, generation after ‘generation had sask into their graves,,mililibns upon mi]lions had lived and died, and still this continent lay une‘iplox‘éd in the far off de_pt:l\st of the bcean. Among all -the gieat philosophers, sage, statcsmen, bold and intrepid na-vigatots, not one had ever conceived the idea, asa substantiye fact, that there was a continent, beyond their own until it originated with Christopher Columbus; and not one of them had the boldness to explore the deep, until';g\_e, had first scaled its floods and: made -his grand d,lé‘coveryv;‘ ‘but to t}ief contrary, iad ‘been in the habit of looking upon the ocean as a vast waste of water, convulsed by stormy winds. Whiilwinds, tempests and earthquales, lay concealed in their secret chambers, aud every coming waye was Lingod with eleotrie flame, like fiery, serpents in frantic play. No wonder then tha ﬂ;ey denounced himas a madman, ‘but unotwithstanding he was in every . way adapted by nature as au explorer, still he could not accomplish his ends with . out the useof other agencics, for he is oely gk in th-chan, nd 1 sl ceady stateds was poor, 30 waable o fit himself out for the voyage, and in the: whole- coursg of twenty ycars constant labor he had been. unable to e ceive any help, but finally eoncluded to make_his last desperate effcrt for aid at the court of Spain; and here, to his infinite, delight; he found a spirit tha caught, the fire of his own soul—as bemiatt (10 3 spperprising 48 it was wise, pric e@‘*ﬁ"‘ﬂjﬁ&é‘ﬁﬁﬁ" and d“"wﬁ:«wb’ the Esh everculing proyifgnes, {8 3s \Wn T 200 i the derry f . new world, & M!WHM’““’?:{' I‘m dropjusd ol And this gERiciR SpFG

We now have two links in the chaia - pointing towards the discovery of the * Western Continent, bat still the plan = is' incomplete; for ‘all "the genius and '’ resolution of Columbus, added to ol the power and wealth of Isabella, esuld’’ - not scale the high seas without the #id " of the mariner’s compass. Thén how much power must it add to the argas ment, when we tikednto congideration’ the fact that the discovery of ‘_Ame;i‘caf and the discovery of the Mariner's compass were but a little removed in point of time. Why, I ask, this strange coincidence, if independent faets, each of which, is indispensably necessary to make up’ the whole plan? There was' - no person at that time on' the ‘whols Eastern Continent who conceived tho idea but Columbus.” Nor was ‘theren person who desired to act the’ partof Isabella, and no instruwment to'this day - has superceded the Mariner’s CompassIsabella and Columbus might have con ceived and ‘planned forever the discov~ ery of this Continent, yet they could never have achieved their '_robjec’t with‘out the aid of the Mariner’s: Compass. So, Isabella might have been in possession of the Compass, yet it would have ‘been a useless and idle ingtrument in ) i“hef hands without theaid of Columbus. So, also, the Compass and Columbus = ‘might have been coincidents, yet they ‘would 'have been powerless without the aid of Isabella; and take any andevery view you sec proper of these facts, @Fx"dj they must bring about the same logical result—not as a forced conclusion, but as an absolute and *irresistible fact, for had the Mariner's' Compass been dis covered ftopglis” death of Columbus, the same defeat must have followed; and I believe, that there is no man so lost to the understanding of all the orseles of ‘reason, as to'suppose for s moment that this was all the result of ‘chance. No, no! chance has no method, ﬁoffag{f ic in it; itis the reverse of method, the reverse of logie. 1t was the plannings of the genius of liberty, and‘*tbatgfniis the spirit that presidés overthe - ‘destiny of "Nutions. « - 50 (00EaE 1 "There thien, aré {hi dhifes concurring ' and’govering ficts, whieh led tothe difdovery’ oF hi§ Sasledut et aice of its ‘history ‘you know."
