A STERLING OLD POEM.
Wbo shall judge mxu from his manners ?
Who shall know him by his dress?
Paupers may be fit for princes.
Princes lit for something less.
Crumpled nhtrt and dirty jacket
May beelthe the goideu ore ;
Of the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vest can do no more.
There arc Ptronnas of crystal nectar
Ever ftowtng out r.f atone ;
There are purple beds and golden.
Hidden, crushed and overthrown.
God, who oonnt ty sou:1, not flToaucs.
ttovm aud prospers you and me.
Waile he values thrones the highest
But as lobbies in the sea.
Man upraised above his fellows
Oft forgets his fellows then ;
Masters rulers lords, rememWr
That your meanest hinds are men ;
Men of Labor, men of feeling.
Men of thoughts, ai.d men of fame,
Claiming eo,ual rights to sunshine
lu mau's t nnobling name.
There are foam-t-mbroidored oceans.
There are little wood-clad rills;
There are feeble Inch-high sapling,
There1 are edars on the hills.
Got!, who o uints by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me;
For tn Hmi all vaiu distinctions
Are as pebbaaa in ihe tea.
Toiling hands alone are builders
Of a nation's wealth and fame ;
Titled iaztnea is pensioned,
F.'d and fattenel on the same ;
U-y the sweat of others' foreheads,
living only to rejoice.
While the pwr mau'a outraged freedom
Vainly lifts its feeble voice.
Truth aud justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light;
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is a sunny right.
God, whose world-Wide voice is singiug
Boundless love to you and me,
Links oppression with its tit- es
But as i ebbl1 tn the sea.
A FATAL DUEL.
A. tari-iian Kperiellce of 'I'-I y .
It is not the upper ten thousand, but
the npper one hundred thousand, in
Paris, who constitute the exclusive
class, and whose ranks are recuperated
annually from all parts f the conti
nent. It is only occasional glances
which the public obtain of the domestic
career of these people, men and women
who live within the peculiar and
charmed circle af aristocracy ; but
when the true incidents relating to, and
the private experiences of the eh.ss of
the community become known to the
world at large, they frequently present
pictures of scones as tragic and revolt
ing as occur among the most depraved
and abandoned residents of the me
tropolis. Whatever the arbitrary rules
of this or that rank in life may be, hu
man nature is the same in high or low,
rich orpoor. A mock respectability is
often thrown over deeds enacted by
titled individuals which would lead the
perpetrators, were they born in an
other class of society, either to the gal
lows or transportation for life. In no
other city on the face of the globe can
so many titled pleasure-ackers be
found as in the French capital. Like a
well-charged magnet it draws all to it
self, and thus a curious and most
heterogeneous community is formed, as
varied in its character as it is in its
nationalities.
Among the gay and aristocratic so
ciety, during the last winter, there were
to be met two prominent members, who
were Wallachian nobles, Prince Ghika
and Prince Sontko, both men of refine
ment and culture, and who were much
sought after the former especially be
ing very popular. Prince Ghika was
an exceedingly handsome young man of
twenty-four years, almost a universal
'avorite, rich, generous, and a devoted
lover of art and literature. By the
death of his mother he had recently in
herited a large fortune, and with few.
if Jjny, known vices, his future career
gaj promise of exceptional happiness.
He might be met almost any day at the
Louvre, ithe Luxembourg, and the
public sabons of art, or at the opera in
the evening, for he not only had an ar
dent passion for music, but was himself
an accomplished performer upon more
than one instrument. Indeed his ac
complishments, which were many, were
of a class to render him the most agree
able of companions.
Prince Sontko was in many respects
the opposite of his fellow-countryman.
Ha was a man of some thirty-five years
and married, though his domestic re
lations were by no means of a happy
character, for at the period which we
write his wife was engaged in treating
either for an amicable or a legal divorce
from him. Though by no means with
out ample pecuniary resources, yet
Prince Sontko was characterized by
many of the peculiarities which attach
themselves to the professional ad
venturer, the soldier of fortune. He had
been in the French military service
during the late war, was a famous
swordsman, and dead shot with the
pisto1. He had, previous to the open
ing of this sketch, fought two duels,
and was a man who enjoyed the inti
mate friendship of scarcely any one.
Between the two families of Ghika and
Sontko there had been a deadly feud for
many years, as inveterate as that be
tween the Montagues and Capuleta,
though df late these hostilities had
been merely of i negative character.
A party of four individuals sat over
their wine after dinner on a December
evening at the Mai son Doree, chatting
over the" gossip of the hour, the races,
the opera, the last new premiere dan
seuse, spiced with an occasional politi
cal opinion, now and then touching up
on the trial of Bazaine, the dictatorship
of MacMahon, or the pretensions of the
Count Chambord, when one of those
mischief makers who are the bane of
every Society, drawing his chair near to
Prince Sontko, who seemed to be the
host of the occasion, said:
" Have you heard the last bit of gos
sip, mon prince ?"
"I have not. What is it ?" answered
the Wallachian, as be carefully blew
out in heavy wreaths the smoke from
his lips.
"Well, it is said that if Madame
Sontko succeeds in'her divorce suit, she
intends, as soon as she is at libertv, to
marry Prince Ghika," was the sinister
reply.
" Nonsense," said another of thepar
tv, who overheard the remark.
" That is the gossip," replied the first
speaker.
Prince Sontko merely shrugged his
shoulders with assumed indifference,
but was observed to turn pale, and in
stantly to change the conversation to
some other subject. Indeed, his com
panions found that the gossip, as thus
reported, had hit him hard, and that,
although he did not refer to the subject,
vtt it seemed to rankle in his mind,
causing intense irritation, until even he
who had conveyed the intelligence re
gretted having done so. However, the
Party, over which a chill had thrown it
f, soon separated, and the prince,
beckoning to him who had whispered
this UTiweloomejfbssip in his ear, said:
' Will you valk down the boule
vard?" "With pleasure," was the response.
And so these two came down toward
Place de l'Opera arm in arm, the
prince evidently striving to suppress
inw.ard excitement.
Will you tell me who spoke of that
matter ? he asked, as coolly as possible,
wben they had' passed out of hearing of
Ue rest of the party.
I do not exactly feel at liberty t do
so, though it was openly spoken of at
the club, but without comment," was
the cautious reply.
"Nothing was said absolutely per
sonal?" "Nothing."
" Very well. I will say good evening
here," and the prince abrubtly left,
turning into the liue Halevy.
That same evening a very different
scene was occurring in a house situated
on one of the fine streets leading out of
the Champs Elysee near the Arc de
Triomph. It was in one of those ex
quisitely arranged and artistically fur
nished French boudoirs, which are the
result of ample fortune and refined
taste combined. Here sat a very beau
tiful Parisienne at a harp, upon which
she was playing with exquisite harmony
aud feeling, there being only one lis
tener by her side, and he the Prince
Ghika. The ladv could hardly have
I seen twenty summers, and yet was regal
in her maidenly beauty and perfection
of form. The "scene told its own story
lat once. Could Prince Sontko have
seen his traditional enemy bending over
the lady's hand, and with a chaste and
gallant salute, thanking her for the
pleasure she had afforded him by her
sweet voice and artistic touch of the
instrument, he would have seen the
folly of the report which he had so
lately heard from the lips of the busy
body at the Maison Doree.
This was the affianced bride of the
young aud handsome Prince Ghika, and
a happier betrothal could hardly have
been imagined, or a more appropriate
selection made in all the charmed cir-
I cle of Parisian aristocracy. Celeste de
la Roche was indeed a fatting bride for
the Wallachian noble. Fortune, birth,
education, and exquisite artistic taste,
they both posses ied in common, and
the year of probation was even now
drawing to a close, at the completion of
which they were to be joined to the
altar.
After a tender leave-taking they
separated for the night, the prince or
dering his carriage to drive home. He
soon arrived in front of his residence,
and just as he was alighting, a person
hastened from the opposite side of the
street, and approaching the prince, ex
claimed roughly :
" Take that ! and that !" at the same
time striking him two fierce blows, one
upon the throat and one upon the chest,
with the rapidity of thought.
You know who I am !" exclaim e
Prince Sontko, who had dealt these foul
blows, and he hastened away leaving
the fainting Ghika upon the ground.
He had been taken entirely unpre
pared ahd unawares ; nor had he any
idea what could have freshly aroused
the animosity of the man who had at
tacked him in so brutal a manner. It
was all a mystery.
Mis servants bore him to his room,
where for hours he raised blood from
his throat and lungs ; nor could his
physician stop the exhausting flow until
the subsequent morning. After a ew
hours of quiet sleep the prince sent for
one of his most attached friends. The
story was soon told, and amid the cir
cle in which he lived, and in accordance
with the code of honor in which he had
been educated, there was but one course
for him to pursue. No explanation was
asked for, and none would have been
given in any instance by the vindictive
aggressor.
" I must challenge him at once," said
the Prince to his friend, and therefore
I have sent for you, on whom I know I
can rely.
" There is no other course open to
you," replied hisfr;end, " though Sont
ko is a noted dielist, and you mon
Prince, you are no master of weapons."
"True."
"He will have the choice, being the
challenged party," continued the anx
ious friend.
"Of course."
" And if he choses small swords you
have not the shadow of a chance."
"I know it."
"Then I shall insist, first, last, and
all the while, upon pistols. That will
afford you some small chance for vour
life."
"As you choose," said the young
Prince, who was quite weak from the
loss of blood attendant upon the brutal
attack of Prince Sontko.
Would to heaven I could fight this
duel for you, " continued his friend.
" You are not fit to go out, and yet I
dare not advise you otherwise."
" Don't worry, my good friend."
" Ay, but I must worry ; I cannot
take it as calmly as you do. I burn in
every vein to avenge your insult."
The seconds of the two parties met,
and after the usual formula it was set
tled that pistols should be the weapons
and the distance twenty paces ; the
meetirig to take place on the following
day. Prince Ghika passed the after
noon in arranging his affairs, for he was
well satisfied as to the manner in which
the encounter with his experienced ad
versary must terminate. He wrote a
long and tender letter to her whom he
dared not visit on the eve of such event.
He forgot no one at this trying moment,
writing to his brothers at Bucharest,
and in his bestowals kindly remembered
his many and faithful friends.
All finished at last, he retired to rest,
and slept peacefully as an infant until
his friend came to awake him in the
morning.
" You have slept well?"
" Without a dream."
"Good!" said his friend; "your
nerves will be steadier."
But he omitted to mention that he
had not been able himself to close his
eyes.
"And you, my good friend?" asked
the Prince.
" Oh, I'm well enough," was the care
answer. " Bear me witness," said the Prince,
" that I have in no way provoked this
bitter insult, this brutal attack. I shall
defend my life because I believe it to
be my duty, but yet I would not have
Prince Sontko's blood upon my hands.
I shall not aim at any vital part, remem
ber that, for he is actuated by some
mad freak, I know not what. "
" Let happen what may, no blame
rests upon you," said his friend.
" I trutt not."
"Wheel and fire instantly at the
word, it is your only chance. You need
have no qualms of conscience with such
an antagonist."
" Perhaps not."
" It is already sunrise. Shall we
breakfast and start at once ?" asked the
friend, solemnly.
"I am ready."
" Have you anything to commit to
my care ?"
" Yes, these letters and papers, that's
all," he replied. " I will place them in
this drawer and give you the key. If I
fall, as I confidently expect to do, yon
will kindly take charge of them at once. "
" In such an event your wishes sha'l
be sacredly attended to ; but let us not
anticipate the worst," said his friend
with assumed cheerfulness, but quietly
turning to hide the tear that wet his
cheek.
The parties, dressed in black, faced
each other at noon in a glade of the
forest of Fontainbleau ; each gravely
saluted the other, and then took their
places as designated by the seconds.
.Everything haa Deen careiuuy arrangea ;
carriages, surgeon, all were at hand.
At the word, two denotations were heard.
Prince Ghika's bullet flew wild, but
Prince Sontko's bullet entered his ad
versary's side and lodged in a fatal man
ner in 'the bowels. His suffering lor a
few hours, was intense, until at length
death came to bin relief.
Two days subsequent to this scene,
Prince Ghika's remains lay in state in
the Russian Chapel in Paris, and during
the ceremony over the body of the vic
tim, the figure of Celeste de la Roche,
in deepest mourning, was observed near
the body on which she could only strew
her floral offerings; her heart had al
ready gone with the dead, "beyond the
silent river. "
Justice (poor, tardy justice) stepped
in and punished the seconds, those con
cerned as accessories to the fatal duel,
with brief imprisonment, but the xrin- j
cipal, the Prince Sontko, is still in pris- j
on, where he is sentenced to remain for
years. j
The nature of this sad story was such j
as to give it instant publicity through
the press ; but how many unwritten
tragedies there are constantly occurring
in the highest circles of the great
French metropolis.
One cause of accident in blasting, but
little understood, and which applies to
powder as well as nitro-glycerine, is
thus stated : "The blaster, not aware
that he is a walking charge of electric
ity, proceeds to his work, inserting
cartridge after cartridge of mtro-elvce-
rine, until he comes to the last, which !
moment his hand touches one of the
naked wires, the current passes through
tiie primiDg, and explosion follows. Let
a blaster, before he handles th se wires,
invariably grasp some metal in moist
ened contact with the earth, or place
both hands against the moist walls of
tunnel."
Destruction- in Disguise. It is a
fact that mixtures of bad liquors and
acid astringents are often given tor
medicines. They are potent to destroy .'
aud may be' safely warranted to ruin,
morally and physically, any human be
ing that sticks to them long enough.
More drunkards have been made by
these villainous concoctions, labeled
medicines, than by the liquors of com
merce. Alcoholic poisons, advertised
as remedies, are more mischievous than
tavern drams. For intermittent and re
mittent fevers, as well as for all other
diseases which these fiery frauds are
falsely certified to relieve, L)r. Walker's
Vinegar Bitters, the ncplus ultra of
vegetable medicines, is a positive cure.
But this is not all ; the great Temper
ance Elixir is a sovereign specific for
the depraved appetite for stimulants,
created by the false tonics and bogus
rcstoratii-es of Missionaries of Intent
perance. Within the present year mauy
well-known citizens have certified that
a course of Vinegar Bitters invariably
obliterates the desire for spirituous ex
citants. 7
The college authorities have taken
the war-path to put down hazing.
Michigan University this year exacts a
pledge from students for the discon
tinuance of the custom, and Harvard
appeals to the patres familiarum to
foster the right kind of sentiments in
their offspring.

Grateful Thousands proeiaim Vih

rigormat that ever sustained the sinkinrj
system.
No Peison can txike these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other
means, and vital organs wasted beyond
repair.
Bilious, Remittent and Inter
mittent Fevers, which are so preva
lent in the valleys of our great rivers
throughout the United .States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri.
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan
sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos. Kio Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile. Savannah, Ro
anoke, James, and many others, with
Jieij vast tributaries, throughout our
entire country during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during sea
sons of- unusual heat and dryness, are
invariably accompanied by extensive de
rangements of the stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon these various or
gans, is essentially necessary. There
is no cathartic for the purpose equal to
I)k. J. Walker's Vinegar Hitters,
as they will speedily remove the dark
colored viscid matter with which the
bowels are loaded, at the same time
stimulating the secretions of the liver,
and generally restoring the healthy
functions of the digestive organs.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar
Bitters. No epidemic can take hold
of a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head
ache. Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of the (.'best. Dizziness, Sour
Eructations of the Stomach. Bad Taste
in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks. Palpita

Lungs, Pain in the legion of the Kid

toms, are the ollsprings of Dyspepsia.
One bottle will prove a better guarantee
of its merits than a lengthy advertise

Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations, Indolent
Inflammation, Mercurial Affections, Old
Sores, Eruptions of the Skin. Sure Eye-, etc.
In these, as in all other constitutional Dis
eases, Walk Kit's Vixk;j,u Hitters have
shown their great curative power in the
most obstinate and intractable ishso.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious. Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers, I liseasea of
tiie lilood, l.iver. Kidneys and Bladder,
these Bittern have no equal. Sue!. Disease,
are caused by Vitiated lilood.
Mechanical Diseases. Persons En
gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
Plumbers, Ty pe-setters. Gold-beaters, and
Miners, as they advance ill life, are subject
to paralysis of the Bowels. To guard
igainst this, take a dose of V.'.W.KKit'.s Vis

Scald-head, Sore Eyes. Erysipelas. Itch.
Scurfs. Discoloration of the Skin, Humors
and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name
or nature, are literally, dug nj and carried
out of the system in a short time by the UAO
of these Bitters.
Pin, Tape, and oilier Worms,
lurking in the system of .-o many thousands,
arc effectually destroyed and reuioVed. N.
system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an
liielminities will free the system from worms
like these Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young
or old. married or single, at the dawn of wo
manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic
Bitters display so decided an intiucnen that
improvement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when
ever you rind its impurities bursting through
the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores
cleanse it when you find it obstructed am
sluggish in the veins: cleanse it when it it
foul : your ieeliugs will tell you when. Kee;

will follow.
