A duel -which, occagioneil a "great sensation al the time or its occurrence was one between Henri Delagrave and Alphonse Biviere, the cause being the success of the former in wooing a young lady to whom they were both attache J. Eiviere insulted his suc cessful rival by slapping liim on the j cuees in a gamuimg aaiuun, uuu 11 wus agreed that a duel should take place, in which the life of one should be en ded. The details were left to their seconds to arrange, and until they faced one another upon the field, neither knew in whit form they were , lo brave death. The following morning four men 1 met m a quiet wood. They were luv iere, with AL Savalle, his second, and Delagrave, who was accompanied by a doctor named Eocque t The latter in formed the rivals that M. Savalle and liimself had arrived at the decision that in order to secure a fatal result to one or the principals, it would be best to leave out the question of swords or pistols and trust to the more surcaclion of a deadly poison. As ho spoke he drew from his pockets a little box, in which lay four black pellets, all exactly ideuticaln i size and shape. "In one of these,"' ho said, 'I have a sufficient quantity of prussic acid to cause the almost instantaneous death of any one who swallows it. Monsieur Savalle and I will decide by the toss of a coin whichjof you is to have first choice and jou shall alternately draw and swallow a pill until the poison shows its effects." While speaking the last words, the doctor spun into the air a glittering gold piece, and, as it fell, Savalle cried "Tails." It fell with the head uppermost, and Savalle said, "The first choice is yours, Mon sieur Delagrave." The two whose fate was contained in those innocent looking black balls had shown no sign of trepidation wliile the doctor eK plainetffEe'awful preparations that he had made lor the death ot one of them; and Dolagrave's fa;e was perfectly im passive as he selected and washed down with a glass of claret one of the globules. "And now M. Riviere,' &aid the doctor, lliviere extended his hand and took a pill, which he swallowol with as much unconcern as his oppo nent, A minute passed, two, thiee, and still the duelists stood molioii-le.-s. 'It is your choice again, Mon sieur Delagrave,"' fcaid the doctor. "But this time you must swallow life pill at the same instant that M. Biv irere swallows the one you leave for him.' Daiagravc paused for a mo ment, looking in silence at the two balls that lay before him. The closest scrutiny showed not the slightest dif ference between them; one wtis harm less, but in tho other rested tho pall of eternity the silence and peace ot that sleep which knows no awakening in this world. With ti start he drew his ej es from the box, and putting his finger and thumb into it, drew forth one of the remaining pills. Biviere took the solitaiy one lemaiu ing and both men simultaneously gulped down their fate. A few sec onds passed without any perceptible movement on tho part of either of them, and then Biviere threw up his hands and without a sound fell Hat upon the grass. He turned half round, gave one convulsive shudder, and, as his rival bent over him, breathed his last. The fair cause of this awful traged' was so horrified that she refused to see Dalagrave again, and the memory 1 of those few minutes weighed fo heavily upon him that he followed Biviere to the grave in a few month's time.

IJachlhougi-t to take "with them some memorial of their beloved country. The one of them, an enthusiastic lover of Scot land, took with him a thistle, the nal-' ional emblem; the other took a sma 1 swarm of honey bees. Years have passed away. The Pacific coast is, on the one hand, cursed with the Scotch thistle, which the farmers find it im possible to exterminate; on the other hand, the forests and fields are frag rant and laden with the sweetness of honey, which has been and is still one of tho blessings of the western slope of the Bocky mouutians. Even so does every Christian earn with him some thistle plucked from the old or, honey from the new with which to bless or curse men. How precious i3 our influence! How we should wtitch and guard it! The man who is not straightforward and honest who tries to be all things to all men generally ends by being nothing to an body. In life it is difficult to say -who does you the most mischief enemies "with the worst intentions or friends with tho best. Our distinctions do not lie iu the places which we occupy, but in the grace and dignity with which we fill them No other medicine has won approval, at home, equal to Ayer's Sarsaparilla in Lowell. It is a wise and thoughtful dispen sation of Providence, that when one suffers loss of mind he is the last to mind the loss. For liver and stomach troubles, try Ayer's Pills.
