There's always a something that
isn't just right.
Yet oft from a rock we may pluok
a gay flower,
And drink from a spring io a deso-
lote waste;
They oome to the heart like a heav-

And naught is so sweet to tho eye

Though poverty’s cottage and crust,

But stou* is the heart that is strength-

Washington and the Duel.
The late duel that was to be, but
was not, between Mosby and Pay ne,
has brought to notiffe an event which
took place botween George Wash
mgton and a Mr. Payne, an ances-
tor to Col. Mosby’s opponent.
The opponents' of dueling find an
illustration most appropos in the
conduct of Washington toward Mr.
Payne, ail aaoestor of one of the
gentlemen engaged in tho prospect-
ive duol. In 1754, when Washing-
ton, in command of the Yirginui’
Rangers, was awaiting, at Alexan-
dria, the arrival of Bnvddock’s forc-
es, an exeitiug election contest oc-
curred between Mr. Fairfax, and
Mr. Payne lor the honse of Burgoss-
es.
Washington supported Falrfivx
with muoh seal, and high words
passing between hjm and Payno In
the market square at Alexandria,
Payne struck Washlngtori a blow
whieh brought him. to the earth.
The troops rushed from their bar-
racks and would have made short

pacified (hem, assuring them that
he knew the proper bourse to pur-
Henry Ward Beoohor made a
speech at the Caledonia fair, Yt., on
the 23d ult., to 8,000 peoplo, on the
subjoct, “What 1 don’t know about
farming.” He was greeted with
rounds of applause, cheers and
laughter.
In Terrebonne parish, La., the
two opposing factions have compro-
mised their differences, and united
on a ticket in which both parties
and races are represented. It is
thought to.be the koy to * settle-
ment of tho difficulties ia that state.
A train of six cars on the Selma
and Dalton railroad, Ga*, fell
through a bridge at Waxahachie
creek on the 24th nit,, killing sev-
eral and wounding a number. Judge
W. 8. Bird, ex-judge of the Saprerie
court of tiie state, was among the
killed.
The Texas editorial excursionists
went as far as Fortress Monroe, be-
held tho plsoe whore Jeff Davis was

Next morning, however, Whsh

the latter entered the room he saw
od the table, not pistol*; hut,.a, de-
canterand two glasses. “Mr. Payne,*''
said Mr. Washington, “to err is hu-
man. I was wrong yesterday, but
if you have had sufficient satisfac-
tion, let us be friends’”
Weems relates that from that day
Washington was Payne’s true ideal
of manhood. The magnanimity of
Washington, who was the bast shot
