to the l‘t'Sl(lt'l'lt7t’ of Col. Pit-kt ns. Fit-ldiiig
took his lo-ttvc of thctn and set out for his
home. The occurienct-s of the day were
not at all s.itis:"acttii‘y to him. He was
strongly attiiclit.-tl to l‘tl:ii‘_v Picltetis; ‘and

hzid evitlt-titly producrtl it deep emotion of
gratitiidc in her heart,.and that feeling might

'l‘liis train of thought led hitn almost. to U

he left his n-itive north, or might have deter-;
mined to lead :1 single life, or even if he
suould be distitist-d to bi-conic his rival for
the tilli.'Cllt)t]S of Miss Piclteiis, he was a
stranger and without ftiittine. and he must
be iinsuccr-ssful. Such were the concluding
refle-ctitins of Fielding tin this topic, when llt'
reached his din-lling, (.ll:l'nOUnlt‘(l from his
horse, throwing his bridle into the hands of
ii smviint. who was awaiting his rt-turn.-—
Two days after the t'\’t:‘lllS we have narrate-d,

requesting the honor ofhis company at his

ht-sit-te in replying that he should do hitti-
st-lf the honor to comply with the invitation.
but he felt that it would be a scene of much
ciiibarriisstiicnt. He rode to Col. li-’iclt:-cn-s’

with a cordiaility of manner which belongs

you. Graham received with due tl'iaulrful-
lsltcrl upon him by Col. Pickens. professing
however, that he could not conceive himself
wortliy of the honor thus conferred on him.
Alter he had spent a few minutes in plt-as-ant
c0n\'ersalton——

Come, Graham, said the Colonel, let us
lL’ll\’€ Mary by surprise; she ' is not aware
that you are here, and [hear her thrunibing
away at her guitar.

The Colonel led the way into an adjoin-
ing room, where his daugliter was engaged
at her inusic.

When Mary discovered Gralmni, she in.
stantly arosc,'and hastily approached him,‘
ext:-ndinuher hand, and wt-lcotued hitn with
the overflowings of‘ a young and greatful
l'l(‘tl‘fE.

Graham spent ‘an hour in the socit-ty of
Col. P. and his d:-iught-cr, and when he took
his leave, he felt that it had been the happi-
est hour of life. There was’ an indefinite
kind ofa feeling. both in the mind of Gra-

S0ll)t’llOW bet-n united by the common dan-
ger which they had sbared—that they had
been baptized to each other _in the raging
stream. *

Graham was warmly pressed by Colonel
Pickeris to honor them with frequent calls.
He assured him that his heart _ and house
should al‘wt‘t’y,s7br;‘open' to.. reception-__

whose uarm iiflcctiuns he would have given

the lady and Ficldiing, but with very differ-

lielougcd to a gcntletnan, to show any resent-

plainly that he (=Fii-ldin-__i)i was not to be in-

eplicd that it was not for Fielding to pre-
'cribe the measure of his fatiiiliarity with

But he ll'lt.‘.tl to look upon the most favorable-

sytnuietry. in long perspective, with no un-
dcrwotitl to obstiuct the view.

At length the carriage halted, near a qui-
t-t stream and the three occupants,——G-rahatn
Plains, and a tntdical friend, dcscendctl and
_tlt0t't'(l onto an open spot on the bank of
lthat str:-am, and which was '(-‘n(‘l’OS't'(.l' by It

ltliis :ll‘t'nd, they saw three gentletntn await-
,-ing their ."tl'l'l\'ttl, with uhom they cxch:in-

llriends bad, it seemed arrived on the ground
lfirst.

[-lxiins inquired, \\ herher the affair c'oirld-
not be settled without proceeding to extremi-
tits .7-

Grahain observed that he had no hostile
feelings to g-‘ratif-y, that he had comcthere in
obedience to the call of his antagonist, and
in compliance with it custom which he could
not but condemn, and that it was with Mr.
Fielding to say whether the business must
proceed.

‘Fielding replied that Mr. Graham had in-
sultcd him, and if he Would retract his off:-n-
sivc language, the difnculty could he accom-
fT|0d5ll.'t‘(l. l=f'not they must proct-ed.

Graham promptly replied that he could
retract nothing. All hope of an accommo-
dation being th-us at an end, the parties pre-
pared for the inortal combat. The fatal
weapons were charged‘. The two combat-
tants took their positions.

As they thus stood, now in the fall vigor
of life, and the next moment to lie, perhaps,
bleeding and dying on the ground‘,

M r. [-1 tins again put the qucstion—'Can-
not this be settled .7‘ .

‘ ' That lies with Mr. Fielding, re.-plied
Gr-sham. in a firm but composed voice.

Mr. G-raha~m’s rertaction can settle it,’-
said Fielding, in a tone which evidently be-
;tra_ved' a riervousness.

Gralianr shook his head.

Then gentlemen said Fielding’s second.
you must proceed.

The parties a-ssentcd.

_- Now my dear cousin, said he, this is put-'
ting your delicacy to a stern test, but will-
ytiu not submit to it for the purpose of at-'
testing this disttgreeable business’;

Graham and Fielding still occupied the
siimc position as at first. Mary stood mid-
way between them, and her eyes thoughtful‘.
ly upon the ground. It was a inouicnt of
profound silence and deep emotion. Each
of the parties now fclt that his liripizincss
hung upon the dc‘-zeloprrents ofa single min-
ute, as his life had just been suspended’ on a
single word.

After a’ few moments ofsilcncc, Mary rais-
ed her eyts and said-—

Yrs 1 will tli'ci(le—and I give myself to
my generous dt-livercrl at the same time
throwing herself into the extended arms of
G ra ha in.

Graham returned in i the carriage with
‘Miss P. who it St'(‘-HIS had come to the place
in cotnpany with one of the l‘-"lisses I-l"ai‘ns,
and two or three s-ervants. Hi.-r cousin had
learned all the particulars of the appo‘i'nt-
merit from an open letter which her brother
had written to the surgeon, and li-ftlying on
his table. She hastened to Col. Pickens.
but as her father‘ was absent, Mary knowing-'~
that no time Wl1SlO be lost, resolved to take-
upon berselftbc mission ivliich she so lmp-
pily fulfilled.
