Some three or four years afur the ad- \ , miuipn of Arkansas into the Union, a j young man, whom wa ihall call Arthur j ' Granger, a native of Ohio, went to Lit- j i tie Rock, to set op the practice of law. j - 1 He waa then about tweutj-tbrae years J I of aga, small, alaadar, and effominatclookiog, with light hair, almost beard- 1 ! leas face, and dark blae ejaa. Hbi ' dress, thongh not exactly foppish, was i altogether too fine, neat, and precise to . | suit the taate of men who bad always . ■ seemed prepared for ropghing it In the . ) backwoods, at moat of then had done at | ona time or another ; and he waa more- < over a stranger from the North, who had perhapa coma there to display his ^ learning and pick up their money, no j i that, from the eery fiyat, he waa regardi rd with ansplcloa, neeealoo, and conU»|ft. « The 8 rat all or eight montha he got . no practice wbaterer, aotwlthstauding . he waa rugnlarly at hia office or tb^ ' court-room, watching, waiting and hop- . ieg ; and be waa about to give op in deapsdr and betake himself to some oiber locality, when, oae day, a tali, lank individual came ahoffiing into his apartment, and after surveying him keenly _ 1 from Lead to foot, said, aa be helped ! himself to a seat :— - ' i 1 "Bee here, young bop- thumb, is there anything in you ?" "Yea, my breakfast," replied the - yooog lawyer, with a quiet amlle. The other stared at him a few mo- ! menu, and seeaid undetermined whether j to consider the reply a Jake or aa iusnlt. He finally grinned at It, aod proceeded ; , "I mean, do yon know anything f" "Oh, yea, somathlag," answered the 1 lawyer, pleasantly. "I know the differ1 coca between chalk aad cheese— a horse ■ aad horse-bjocl." "Can yon write 1" "I have written my name * b»fon now." The Stranger draw a newspaper from hia poeket, opened It deliberately, pointi rd to an article, handed it to the yonng ' man. and said;— "Read that." . "Alondf" "Yet." The young Inwyer compiled, and read a tirade, of the most scandalous and ] scathing naiare. against one Miles .Grej gory, tbe Reraocratie candidate for the ' Sut# tejldatorc. "Well," dewurded the stranger, when j he hud Cniatwl tbe article, "what do yon j think of thatr* "It ia pretty •even.'* "1 believe yon. »o yen tpeet Utar'a another eawn fn tbe State of Arkansas that can write aa scorching a thing agin . tba Whig candidate V < "If there ware faeta to justify it, I donbtjiot each an article might ho produced, " replied the yonng lawyer, j "TO thunder with your fiscUln4ried tba stranger, excitedly } "EseU haiat got t -nothing U do with political that's no 5 facta ia tkat j It's all Rea from begiaalag • to end *m MUea Gregory, and I ought to know.

I "Without regard to facta V j i "They he'nt got nothing to do with 1 j it, I tell yon." i "Very well. If you ^511 call in a eon- j i pie of boors, I will show you something j I • U match It " j 1 ''If yon'B do it, or tbc half onT," tald j Miles Gregory, rising to leave, "111 pot j i yon In a way to make a fortune.1' 1 1 He went out, and returned at tbe ) * , appointed time, and the yoong lawyer; { had the article ready. Without descend- ! ing as low as the model in vulgar epi- 1 tbets, it was even more terrible in its j ; withering sarcasm. Gregory could i ; scarceiy contain himself while the yonng j ' | lawyer was reading it, and aa soon as he { I had done he bounded frou bis seat with j » .yell of triumph,- and seising the del1- ! cste little band of the writer, almost i \ crushed it between bis great bony fin- 1 ' Xgpm. ■ « | "You've done it, roaeg man," be j j cried, with an oath, "and you'll aoon 1 1 j hare something baiter to do tbsn sit ; ' here staring at blank walls. Here's ;< i j yonr money ; the only difference ia, I've j ■ | oonclnded to make it a hundred instead ' of fifty ; bnt that's my business, so none , | of yonr nonsense." ij .He rushed out, with a triumphant | f | laugh, leaving the youeg lawyer to - ! ruminate upon his first fee, and the pos- < it aiblfc consequences of becoming a con- 1 1 i : tpicnous indlvldnal in that fighting rei gios. i i The next week the article appeared > i in tbe Democratic paper and created a < ; great sensation. One political party I . was delighted and the other cbagrlucd ' i Who was tbe author ? Nobody knew. J | i The fwYjnmet were puujed. Every j i 1 1 known writers style was doly cansidtred, j t bnt something in the article differed; j - from each. Conld it be that a new 1 Junius had eome among them? The ' < i Democrats *ore anxkma to find out, to - < : do honor to their champion ; and tbe < i Whigs, that they might contrive a way ; i Tto silwce him. ' Nobody suspected the J i besrdless lawyer. In fact, if be had I - only avowed h, the chances were Ibst ■ : he would hare been kicked for a boast-! < ■ inff Hot- | 3 Three individuals only knew anything . ' | about it— tbe writer, the candidate, and tba proprietor of the paper in wfcich it j i , appeared. Tc tbe lut, Indeed, wu daei I the fact that tbe secret bad beaa kept so i i close. Themomest bs first read the i _ article, bo acknowledged tbe powar of i , tbe writer and demanded his name, i • G«g°ry gave It without hesitation. The journalist wm surprised. He had ; teen tbe puny lawyer, hn said, hot never , dreamed there waa any sncb stuff In him. i i "How did yon find him out. Ore- i . goryf" .... i , "By a blonder." I got into hia office , by mistake, end then something just kind of strndk me to try tbe tblug on — i a aort of sxperiajent, you know." i "Does any ona else know anything i aboat it f , ,"Naij a one." | • "Then, ace here; this must be a secret < of honor between as. I am going to ' secure that yoong mtn to write leaders ' i for me. He Is worth bis weight ia ' gold. Bot nobody mast know who he < [ . is, aod I am almost eerisin he will ayver , I be suspected. Remember, Gregory, if . the secret gets wind I shall blame yen " i ~ j^AB right; Tm dumb." 7~.r ij That very day Arthur Grader war i seenred, at a handsnme salary,' to write < i such articles as the editor required from week to week ; aod it was further arrargod that tbe matter should be kopt a t profound secret; aad, to avoid an«i pieion, the parties. w»ra only to meatsi i when abaokotely neeeasary, aod tbca either clandtsiioaly or openly as strang- [ are. Tbe effect of the firat article rp - have already mentioned. Bnt when, the gate ending week, some three or few I more appeared of the aaoa stamp, H I anything, even more caustic and cntliag, > directed against the whole party and I r individual members besides, the exaite1 meat increased, cariosity "bees me eager, t t ; and wonder grew.apoee. The Dvmo-]1'

! crats grew trinmphant and the Whigs ' fnrioos. And when, the parties being I j nearly eqnelly divided, the former carried the election by a respectable majorthe latter grew desperate and rated madmsB, denouncing tbe unknown | writer as % lisr and a coward, and niakJ a standing offer of a thousand dollsrs.to any one who would disclose his ; j name. j "If yon are discovered, Grander, you | will bate te qoit thl« region on short 1 | notice J* said tbe proprietor of the Peine- ! erotic paper to the touok lawyer, daring ! > of their stolen interviews. "Why ?* asked the other, quietly, "Bfcsuec yonr life wiii be fn danger *' j "W,TI tbey morder me ?" J "At least they wrill insult and challenge you, and yon will hate V ruu or I figbu" j "Suppose I fight then ?" | "'And he killed f" j "I must take my chanc* of eouree I ' j shall be entitled to the choice of weapons j at least." 1 "What tfcpn ?

"With one of my hairtrigrrra I can 1 snuff a candle at ten paces." ! "Yon emare and delight rae.

"By heavens 1" exclaimed the other,] grasping the yonng man's hand with increased admiration, "I am jnst begin- ] j ning to know yon, and I nm proud cf .'yonr acquaintance. To tell yon the' 1 honest troth, I never soppojed there | was any mora Gght in yon than in a girl ! of- sixteen ; and for a yooog man to be challenged in this region aod refuse to j fight, is to be forever disgraced ; and . thus disgraced, net eren tbe genius of a Shakespeare, with tbe wisdom of a Solomon, eould give yon any more influence ' : over these people; therefore I btlieved j yon wonld be compelled to leave the ] ' State." i - "Mr. Bradley," rejoined the yonng ] with compressed lips, and a pecnt gleam of his dark blue eye, "1 hope ; and pray U msy never be my fortune to ! meet an antagonist on tbe so-called field ; of honor ; bot should snch be the case, mark me, I may fall, bnt he will diet : Bet OS change the subject." The crista came. Accidentally tbe secret was discovered, and in less then tweety-foar bonrs Arthnr Granger received three challenges to mortal comfrom three different parties. Ho csBtd upon Mr. Bradley, his employer, vo act aa his friend and second, and assured him that be was ready to fight them all "My dear friend," said the journalist, grasping bis hind, "this is a serious basinets. These ipen are all practiced dae lilts, and considered dead shots. They Intend to kill yon, that is certain ; ; and, to be candid, I see little hope of j yonr escaping all three. I aa not sore ' that yon should accept more than <ye challenge at present." "Oh, jes — all!" returned tbo yonng hero, posttirely. "Plcale arrange the ffrst affair for sunrise i"-morrow morning, the second for hah' an boor later, and tbe third for half an boar later still. II I escape tbo first, I shall be in timv for the second ; and if tba second, the third will not be kept waiting. If I fall before l^rive aaeb a chance, of conree I i shall bare to be excused." Bradley threw his" er-ns emend the neck of tba joang lawyer and fairly bagged htm, so great was his admiration of bis cool now ««d courage. "If yon Uvo through this ordeal," he ■aid, "yea can aspire to any office in the gift of the people of this fighting 8tat«."
