We find the following in the Columbus Enquirer, a paper which has always given honest credits, or else we should suspect it was a sly J'Piinch," from some sarcas tic observer across the Atlantic: July 5, 1690. Mr. D. Farcer, Dem., of Kentucky, brought forward a motion for the suppression of oral discussion in the 1 Legislature.- The he Table mem ber proposed, as a substitute, that all questions at issue should be settled by single combat, bowie-knife or pistol. Honorable members were, up to the pres ent period, in the habit of sticking at no thing, and he (Mr. Farcer) thought that this proposal would certainly obviate such a state of , things by giving them something to stick at. Mr. Barker, (Dem.) of Virginia, sec onded the motion, and also he would be happy to second any of the combatants in want of his assistance. lie believed his qualifications in . this respect were well known to the honorable House 't and if any member was ignorant of them, he would take the liberty; of recapitulating. The honorable member wns here proceed ing to give . the details of several san guinary difficulties, when he; was inter rupted by : ..;. ' Mr. Whittle, (Whig) of Tenn. What d.es the honorable member mean when thrusting the details of his duels on the House? Good wine needs no bush, and a successful duelist needs no praise. There was no danger of the honorable member's deeds not being trumpeted to the world, because everybody knows that "murder will out.'.' Mr. Barker -You are a liar and a thief ! (No sensation whatever.) Mr. Whittlp The honorable rascal opposite has called me a liar and a thief. I believe that the House will support me when I term him a murder and as sassin. (Less sensation than before.) Mr. Barker Who robbed the man on the steamboat? A-h-h! Mr. Whittle -Who ran away from the Revere House without paying his bill ? E-h-h! Mr. Barker (shaking his fist) Silver spoons. Mr. Whittle I did not insure my house for double its value and then set it on fire. Mr. Barker If the honorable member ain't a coward, he'll have it out with me now. Mr. Whittle (jumping on the table) Come on you ruffian. The Speaker Fair play, gentlemen. Recollect, if you please, that the pro ceedings will be reported. " The honorable members then had a set to, in which both displayed considerable science, and a great deal of animosity. Bets ran high as to ; who wrould win. and we understand that the Speaker speculat ed heavily. After five rounds, however, Whittle gave in, and Barker was carried home Iv his triumphant friends. We be- leve that a meeting between the gen tlemen is arranged to come off to-morrow. This incident agreeably. relieve! the monotony of the week's debates, that were growing exceedingly tedious. :' . The sin was long since atoned for, and at last the little spot of sunshine crept ia his cell, and entering by the key-hole cf his door led him forth into the bright rays of liberty. - He was conducted to the of fice of the prison by McGaw, and a cit izen's dress, in place of a prison suit given him, and led into an inner room, where stood she who, years before, had promised before God to be his. What a meet in r ' On the evening train the two arrived in this city, and were, by one of our di vines, joined in marriage. We were wit nesses to the ceremony, and shall never forget it. Never forget the eye moist ened with happiness, nor the throbbing of the heart that had so long waited and trusted. Saved, saved ! May the future be all the brighter for the cloud that has hung so long over it, and true friends ever ready to lend a helping hand.

In our last issue we noticed the fact that a young couple from Fayette County Ky., arrived at the Burnet House, Tuesday night and were married almost immedi ately after, the young man being greatly alarmed lest his father, who he once thought he saw at a station on the rail way between this city and Cynihiana, was in close pursuit, and might arrive in time to tear his betrothed from his arms. The sequel to the story, which was de veloped in a few hours later, is as fol lows: While the young couple were receiving the congratulations of those who had wit nessed the ceremony at the Burnet, a sim ilar tragedy, or comedy whichever the reader pleases was being enacted at the Spencer House. The young man had nui been mistaken when he thought he saw his father on the road, for the old ras cal, who, it seems, was m the same hu mor with his son, had actually eloped with a young widow in his neighborhood, and came to this city on the same errand and on the same train. They escaped re cognition by taking, as it happened, dif ferent cars, and stopping at difTenent ho tels. - When the young man learned how matters stood, accompanied by his bride, he repaired to the Spencer House, and sending his card up to the old gentleman, who little suspected that his hopeful off spring was in the city, much less mar ried, he came down unattended, when the following conversation took place. Old Gentleman "Well sir; what are you doing here ?" Young Gentleman "I learned last evening that you were about to elope with widow , and have followed you to the city to see if it could be possible you could do such a thing." O. G. "That's very considerate in you, young man, (spoken somewhat tart ly,) but is it any particular business of yours what I do?" y. G "O, no; but the example, the ' Woman's Lofe A Beautiful Inci- - dent. Six years ago, says aMilwaukie paper a young man just entering on life, under the influence of rum, committed a crime against society, was tried in the city, con victed, and sent to Waupun, where he served out his time behind the prison bars. Before his trial a fair girl had promised to link fortunes with him, and cruel was the blow to her. But she lov ed him. All through his six years did she wait for his release. With a true woman's heart, she believed him innocent, innocent, at least, before God ; and like the magnet, she held on her steady way, her heart ever pointing to-the future. Long were the years to him.:. Slow pas sed the hours. Seconds were minutes, minutes were hours, hours days, days weeks, weeks months, months years, and years were like ages.' Every tolling of the prison-bell struck deep upon his heart, and every sunset, took' another thread from the long skein. Nor were the hours less weary to her. Hope, that blessed an gel, sat by her day by day, and reposed on her pillow by night, borne there were who laughed at her holy love, who sneer ed so meanly at her lover, a prisoner miles away. But little it mattered to her others might laugh she wept: others might point to a man in prison garb, toil ing away from morn till night, with but one star to guide bun on. ahe saw but the honest soul that might be saved, or lost, and, woman that she was, .nerved herself to hear their jibes and jeers. Blessed words came to him in his lone lv cell, words of love, of kindness, nnd stronger grew the heart of him who had trulv his better ansrel to watch over hi unbroken fortune. Each word from her lightened the hours as they slowly went by, and larger grew the day on which lihertv was to come. Men visited Iiim and with careless word or speaking eye, threw into his cell a maddening thought on which his soul must feed and trembling ly shrink to the darkest corner of his liv n(r temDle. Then a letter from her would dash aside the dark curtains and beckoned him a spot of sunshine outside, andbevondthe present reach. So pas sed the year. Friends died and ha vrept over them. O. G. "Zounds! sir, do you come to teach me propriety ? Don't you suppose I know what's rhjht and wrong?" Y. G. "Why certainly you do, or you ought to ; but what would you say if I were to do as you have done ?' O. G. "Say ? I would say you had more spirit than! ever gave you credit ot possessing. Y. G. "Woudn't you be angry?" O. G. "Of course not, you dog; but weat makes you ask such a silly question as mat r The young blood here began a series of gymnastic exercises, which made the old gpntleman think his son had sudden ly been deprived of his wits. A moment after, however, the young man darted cut of the room, and before the f ulitr could recover his self possession, he returned with his blushing bride; when the two bent down before him, and half au.libly said, "Your blessing." It was now the old man's turn to play rnad, but comprehending and forgiving all in a moment, he only said : "You young rascal! If you are this bad now, what will you be when )'ou have my years? Come up stairs and see your mother." Both couples left yesterday on the same train for their "Old Kentucky Home." Cin. Enquirer. A Story for Boys- It is related of a Parisian mother, that on her giving her son forty pieces of sil ver as his portion, she made him swear never to tell a lie, and said : "Go, my son, I consign thee to God, we shall not meet again till the day of judgment." The youth went away, and the par ty he traveled with were assaulted by robbers. One fellow asked the boy what he had, and he answered : "Forty dinars are sewed up in my not be false to my mother, to whom I promised never to tell a lie." "Child," said the robber, 'art thou so mindful of thy duty to thy mother at thy years, and am I insensible at my age of the duty I owe to God ? Give ine thy hand that I may swear repentance on it." He did so, and his followers were struck with the scene. "You hare been our leader in guilt," they said to the chief, "be the same in the path of virtue," and taking the boy's hand, they took the oath cf repentance on it. What a Little Sarin? T7ill do. Figures sometimes produce almost in credible results. Thus, for instance, if a young man, on his twentieth birth-day, will invest SlOO in any stock paying ten per cent, annually, and thereafter will invest the same amount and the accumu lation of interest, he will be worth when he is thirty years old, 31,753. when for ty years old,SG,300, when fifty years old. S18,150, when sixty years oil, 49.700. How simple, then, is the plan by which a youth of the present day can pass his old age in comfort and luxury !. He has only to regulate his expenses so as to save one hundred dollars from his income. If the amount saved be large, then the sum total will .be increased in' propor tion. Only think of it, that $500 saved annually, and invested in ten per cent, stock, will amount in forty years to 243, 500, SI, 000,000 invested in the same way for ten years will amount to $2. 558,000, in twenty years to 6,74G;000, in thirty years to 817,384,028, in forty years to 843,250,608. No wonder, then that the Rothchilds have amassed such boundless fortunes. didn't. Here ycu say you haTn'i leea at the other door, there you say y ou haven't been at this.

Just here Walter, who had hfard th leuu talking, walked round to WiLha'j side, and there they scod in front cf ihs old gentleman who was perfectly bewil dered. He soon comprehended tha r.ist ter. and when he did, he tcck 1L.2 disvj back from Willie, and gave them a hsll a dollar each. . garments. it Walter and Willie. The Mobile Register tells the follow ing The robber laughed thinking the boy jested. Another asked the same question and received the same answer. At last the chief called him, and asked him what he had. The boy replied : "I have told two of your people alrea dy that I had forty dinars sewed up in my clothes." The chief ordered the clothes to be ripped open, and the money was found. "And how came you to tell this ?" "Because," replied the boy, "I would We happened to witness an amusing little incident, which occurred in the wholesale dry-goods establishment situa ted on the north-west corner of St. Fran cis and Water streets, a day or two since, which was worth seeing, if it was not worth publishing. A widow lady of our acquaintance has two little boys, aged about-eight years twins who for oneness of size, features, voice and action, would rival the celebra ted twin3 of San Francisco. They are so much alike that even the mother is at times puzzled to know which is Willie and which is Walter. When one deserv es a spanking, the other frequently f-ets it and on account of their exact like ness to each other, she recently came near loosing one of them- She had oc casion to administer a small dose of par egoric to Willie, and a few moments af ter Walter seemed to nee-; something of the same sort. She turned but a mo ment to get the medicine, but in that time the boys had got mixed, and by some means Willie swallowed another dose, and shortly afterwards went to bed and fell asleep. He continued in a stupor for some ten or fourteen hours, much to the astonishment and alarm of the mother, who saw that upon Walter the drug had no effect. It was not until Willie told herthat she had given him two doies that she discovered the mistake. But to the incident. The mother having some business to transact in the store, took the two boys with her. They were dressed exactly alike, and during the stay cf their mo ther they each took a stand in separate doors fronting on Water-street, to see what was to be seen. While standing there an old gentleman, who was walk ing slowly by, saw one of them, and, ad miring the little fellow's intelligent coun tenance and healthy look, stopped and asked him his name. "My name is Willie, sir," replied thei little one. "Ah, a pretty name, and a very pretty boy," said the old gent., patting him on ihe head. "Here's a dime for you." Passing on to the next door, he ob served Walter standing in the same pos ture that Willie had occupied, and sup posing it was Willie who had run thire to see him as he passed, he stopped again to lake another admiring look at him. "Do you live in Mobile, Willie?" ask ed the old man. "My name is not Willie," said Walter. "Why, didn't you just now tell me, a; the other door, that your name is Wil lie?" "No Sir, my name is Walter," "Oh, I thought you said Willie, when you stood in the other door, and I gare you a dime." "I ain't been in the other door, and you didn't give me a dime," said Wal ter. The old gentleman looked at him for a moment, as though the good opinion he had formed of him was fast changing, and then walked slowly back to Willie's door. The old gent looked at him stead ily. "Ah ! Walter," said he, "you should not tell stories. Yod must be a good boy, Walter." "I ain't told no stories, sir, and my name's Will e," said t ie confused little fellow. "Well, what made you say, at the oth er door, that your name was Walter, ai d that I didn't give you. a dime?" "I never said so. sir," said Willie, "I ain't been at t'other door." "Why, you precious little scamp," said the old man, somewhat excited," what do you mean? At this door you are Willie, at the other yoa are Walter. Here, you say, I gave you a dime, ther you ?ay I This noted cr.ptive Chiefian, who fcf so long a period, gave trouble to iha P.a? sians in Cirrassia, u thus sp ksn of in a late letter from St. Petersburg: . , "I will merely say that he live ca lha fat cf the land, and drives about armed to the teeth for he is allowed to re :aiil his arms daily up and down the NVviis ky and along the quays, escorted' by one or more Russian officers, who hare him R5 , it were in charge, and accompanied by his son a most ugly specimen -of Cir caia and two remarkable furcijped individuals, called "friends," but who art nothing more or less than the late execu tioners of his savage will, whether with blades or bowstrings.

On which the warrior chief turned pale, as v.v' l ho might, considering the thousands t f Liu 3 sians he had put to death. He askti fcr time for prayer and absolution, but ho wa given to understand, that the friends cf the Governor were not precisely in'.tha same catagory as the "friend.V of hi chieftainship, ar.d he has striked his pipe,; admired the Russian ladies, and quailed his champaigne in peace.
