The duel U of very remote origin, comprehensively speaking, though the duel as now understood dates from the Middle Ages. Louis It Debonuairo wot the first of the French Monarch • Who allowed the litigants to appeal to arms j but the allowance was withdrawn by Henry II, on account of the renowned duel fought in his presence between his friend, Grahcit de la Chustaigueirc. and Guy Chabot, the latter being slain. The royal interdict, however, was of no avail in discontinuing the habit FranI favored and stimulated it by declaring that only a bass-born churl could or would endure the lie without seeking satisfaction, and also by accepting the challenge of Charles V to mortal combat in consequence of the former breaking his promise, which, as a prisoner, ho had made to the Emperor after the battle of Pavlft, in order to gain his Uberty. During the 'first eighteen years of the reign of Henry IV as many as 4,000 gontlemen, a considerable portion of them distinguished, perished in obedience to tl^e silly custom. He later increased the penalties of personal combat, making it a capital offense when one of the combatants should be killed. But he was nevertheless iu sympathy with the mad folly, as was evinced by his saying to Crequi, whom bo had given permission fight Dor PhilUvof Sew. 4<l wssW #» hi* i

enact, and so lent countcu**n<. to the dnel. In the time of Louis XII 1 the practice was so common that the* English Ambassador to Pari*, Lord Herbert, wrote that no Frenchman of consequence had failed to kill at least one man. Yet in that reign two noblemen, the greatest duelests of the day, were beheaded for repeating combats, after they had been warned and fined time and time again. Soon after Louis XIV had ascended the throne, duels with four or five persons on a aide became fashionable and several of the highest nobility have been killed, the monarch solemnly forbade it by edict, and had the firmness to execute the law, which, along with a formal compact among the nobility to abstain from personal contests, led to their almost total abolition. The Hegen<-y revived dueling, which Louis XV sought in vain to repress. The Duke de Richelieu was a noted duellist, and 8t. Evromont and St. Foix carried punetillio so far that fighting on such terms grew to be comical. It has been impossible to root out dueling in France. It has survived all forms of government, being now more common than under the Empire. — Telegraph. Individuality of the Horse . One thing curious and inteseating about the horse is its individuality. This characteristic is common to all animals, undoubtedly, to a greater or lea* degree, but surpassingly so, we think, in the case of the horse. How this characteristic varies in horses is well known by any one who has ever drawn . rein over a good roadster. The individuality of horses varies aa much as that of men. Everyone has a different mental as well as physical make up. Some horses seem to possess ^brains, to have some sense, are quick to understand and obey the least sign, motion or word of their master ; others are not inaptly termed "lunk heads," always awkard, lumbering about, difficult to teach, and never "make anything," in a horsoological sense. It may be true that th«*se traits in a horse are sometimes duo to the habits of his driver or owner, and that the horse itself may nor be so, much to blame for his ignorance, but bowever much he may be excused on tbis score, there is a surprising difference in these mental qualities of horses. Borne men driv« and u*s horse* for years jwid yet never realize that they know anything, or that there is any more difference betweon them than there is between so many barrels or saw logs. Other men who handle horses a great deal, who buy and sell frequently, and who study much their different characteristics, will tell you how wonderful horses are, how much more they know than some men, how much each one has to be driven and handled differently, and how much they will sometimes teach, even their drivers ! Between a nervous, sensitive, intelligent horse, and his considerate owner, how large a union of fellowship and sympathy exist*. In the stable, on the road, if overtaken by an accident, the cool, sen sible roan is sure to have a quick sympathy from his faithful horse. He trusts bit master, as hi* master trust* him. If the master is quiet, the horse will be equally to, knowing everything is safe ; ff the master blusters, or becomes anxious or exhibit* fear, the horse knows it at once and Heoomes restive likewise.— N.

The Prtu and the Pulpit Onmmlastfinwl t? tfc* wiU of Sleeve*, The race of >uw> to bies*, Two mighty fproes Gog has give*, Tin* pulpit and lbs press. May both. uoUeOlu our plan, Ik od light *u<ntis abroad. Inert Utt brotherhood of man, And Fatherhood of God. The press and the pulpit ought to be, if they are not, co-laborers. Not that the pulpit has properly to do with the minutest labor of the press, farther than to reprehend any falsehood or laxity, but because both aim at the eievadon of society and both profess to be guidod by the spirit of Christianity, which over and above all other influences, shapes and colors the ideas, sentiments and habits of the ago. The parson and the editor, though in widely different sphere*, are aliko the popular teachers of society ; both are in position to make their voice* heard as widely a* civilization extends, and in whatever fends to affect the morals, peace and happiness of man, both are alike guilty if they fail to exert their full, power* on the side of righteousness and truth. The press unquestionably, stands foremost iu forming public opinion, in shaping and guiding the impulses of society ; but the pulpit, exercising its influence upon the press and upon society, tempers, elevates and refines both public opinien and impulse. The press has ever been more radical than the pulpit, because more intimately connected with the practical life of society, and more keenly alire to its capacities and wants; but that radicalism, however seemingly dangerous for the momenta hu» had the • too I . isw Hi* \ <

#»- to. wf society, anu natural is a more harmonious co-working of these two great educators of human thought and action. Christianity, as manifested by its Divine founder, is precept and example for every class and every exigency in life. It is not an insolate thing, affecting isolate sympathies and affections only, but a broad embodiment of truths and principles adapted to man in all his ideas and habits, and the pulpit ha* taken a narrow and unjust view, whenever it has failed to apply it to every moral want in every condition of society. Until of late, the pulpit has had too little to do with every day life ; it has loft the outward organization of society and the functions of government to material theorists and political philosophers, seemingly forgetting that Chiltianity was given to man as an unfailing basis for society and government. We would not Lave the pulpit descend in the least degree from its spirituality ; we would not havs it forget the great concerns of the soul in the futuro, but we would have it keenly alive to the temporal phases and manifestations of society — remembering the lesson of Holy Scripturo that "Rightoouanc** exalteth a Nation, but sin is a reproach to any people"— for therein the spirituality of society is forever working and taking its hues, even like the ores that are molten in the seething furnace. The pulpit should never be a political forum, but the voice of Christian and admonition should also never be found wanting there whon the truo interests of society and government are at stake. It is the business and duty of the pulpit to watch over society and government, to commend virtue and condemn vice and immortality in what over shape they may appear. To watch over his little flock and point them onward to the gates of Heaven, is but a part of the Christian teacher s work. There is the prettiest life in all its multiform varieties of action for which the pastor is in a certain measure responsible. If society is loose and disorganized, if government is wicked and tyrannous, his is the tongue that should first and most emphatically "reprove, rebuke and exhort them.". - And hajipy for the people that are in such a case, " Yea, happy arc the people that have the Lord for their God." We should hail the day that sees the pulpit re-awakening to its broader duty, "lifting tip Its voice and sparing not," The freedom of the pre** is the indication of the liberty of the people, and the freedom of the pulpit is its heritage. I moon by freedom, of course, its fidelity to the eternal truth of the will and word of God in the interests of man's salvation ns revealed in the gospel of Josus Christ. If the pros* has been instrumental in this awakening to a bolder zeal the heralds of the cross of Christ, It has at ths same time taken much of its complexion And inspiration from the sober thought, the spirituality and eloquence of the modern pulpit ; the common weal of mankind has been oommcn*uraU»ly benefited and our civil and religious liberties have been perpetrated. What community of interest has so joined together? Lot not the craft and malioe of prejudice and Ignorance ever sunder, but as educators of the intelligence of man may the press ever be found in the foreran k, and to win our souls to virtue and eternal rewards by the earnest and faithftil preaching of the word of God. Lftt us regard and uphold the pulpit.— R. R. iv til Bbiboxto* Ci movie li. I
