Chesterfield on Duelling.
Philip Dormer Stanhope, Earl of
Chesterfield, who flourished in En
gland between the years 1091 and
1773, is principally known to people
of the present day for his letters to
his son. These letters contain some
passages of such lax morality, and
treat the subject of female virtue with
-a levity so unbecoming a father ad
dressing his son, that Chesterfield is
chiefly known for his immorality
which belonged to the age in which
he lived, when he deserves to be re
membered for his talents and virtues
which belonged to himself. He was
a man of great ability, versatility,and
extensive acquirements, and of such
polished manners that his name has
given to the language of society a
now word which serves as a criterion
of politeness. He wrote with great
elegance and wit, and his parliamen
tary orations have been termed Cice
lonian.
We have lying before us, while we
write, an old volume of his miscella
nies which was printed in Dublin in
1777, only four years after his death.
This early publication of his works in
an Irish City, may be accounted for
by the fact of the groat popularity he
acquired in Ireland during the year
he resided there as Lord Lieutenant.
In common with all essayists of the
time, Chesterfield attacked the vices
and follies of society—not in the se
rious and stilted style of Johnson, nor
quite with the delicate grace and qui
et humor of Addison, but with pecu
liar terseness, force and wit. Ilia
hits at passing follies are amusing
«ven at the present day, and not the
least amusing article in the old vol
ume before us is an essay upon duel
ling—which \vas published February
.27, 1755, as No. 113 of‘The World.’
In this papir Chesterfield declares
duelling to be “the manifest offspring
of barbarity and folly, a monstrous
dbirth, and distinguished by the most
shocking and ridiculous marks of both
its parents.”
After hinting at the repugnance of
the custom “to instinct, reason, and
every moral and social obligation,”
and observing, that, “viewed on the
criminal side it excites horror; on the
absurd side, it is an inexhaustible
fund of ridicule;’ 5 he proceeds to use
the last with infinite effect.
“The ancients must certainly have had
very imperfect notions of honor, for they
had none of duelling. One reads, it is
true, of murders committed every now and
then omong the Greeks and Roman?, promp
ted only hy iuietest nr revenge, and perfor
med without the least Attic politeness or Ro
man urbanity. No letters of gentle invita
tion were sent to any man to come and have
bis throat cut the next morning, andjwe may
ebseivc that Milo had not the common de- |
eency to give Clotlius, the most profligate of '
men, the most dangerous of citizen?, and his I
own inveterate enemy, an equal chance of I
destroying him.
This delicacy of sentiment, th’s refin'ment |
of manner?, was reserved for the politer
Goths, Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Vandals, &o. to j
introduce, cultivate, and establish. I must
confess that they have geneially been consid- :
cred as barbarous nations; and to be sure,
there are some circumstances which seem to 1
favor that opinion. They nude open war j
upon learning, and pave no quarter even to ■
the monumen's of arts and sciences. Cut
then it must bo owned, on the other hand,
that upon those t ulr.B. they established the
honorable and noble sconce of Hmiocide,
digniged, exalted, and ascertained true
honor, worshipped it r.s their Deity, and
sacrificed to it hecatombs of human victims'
In those happy days. Honor, that is, single
combat, was the great and unerring test of
civil rights, moral actions and sound doc
trines. It was sanctified by the church, and
the churchmen were occasionally allowed the
honor and pleasure of it; for we read of
many instances of duels between men and
priests. Nay, it was, without appeal, the in
fallible test of female chastity. If a Princess,
or any lady of dis inction, was suspected of
•a little incontinency, some brave champion,
who was commonly privy to, or perhaps the
author of it, stood forth in her defense, r.nd
asserted her innocence with the point of his
aword or lance. If, hy bis activity, skill,
strength and courage, be murdered the accu
ser. the lady was spotless ; but, if her cham
pion fell, her guilt was manifest. This hero
ic gallantry in defence of the fair, I presume
occasioned that association of ideas, other
wise seemingly unrelative to each other, of
the Brave and the Fair: for indeed in
those dap sit behoved a lady, who had the
least regard for her reputation, to choose a
lever of uncommon activity, strength and
courage.”
In proof of the utility and justice of
this method Chesterfield gives an ac
count, from an old chronicler, of a
duel between a dog and a man of dis
tinction, which was fought before
Charles Yth. of France in 1371,
This gentleman was supposed to have
murdered another who was missing,
from the fact of the missing person’s
dog, a large Irish greyhound, fiercely
attacking the supposed murderer
whenever he met him.
“As he was a gentleman, and a man of ve
ry nice honor, though by the way he really
had murdered the man,” —
He concluded with the consent of the
King, to clear his character by single
combat with the intelligent dog. They
fought, the gentleman using a club,—
a very dishonorable advantage to take
—and the dog prevailed, almost kil
ling the honorable gentleman,—
“who bad then the honor to confess his guilt,
and of being hanged for it in a few days.”
The noble writer, a little further
on, observes that when the code of
honor had been perfected by the wis
dom of tho chivalrous ages, —
•’ —almost all possible cases of Honor were
considered and stated; two-and-thirfy differ
ent sorts of lies’" —more than Sterne enumer
ates—“were distinguished, and the adequate
satisfaction necessary for each, was, with
great solidity and precision ascertained.”
After giving it as his opinion that
“tberc are more men in the world who will
lie and fight too, there are who will lie
and not fight,”—
Because courage is such a common
gift, ho illustrates tho fallibility of du
elling as a criterion of veracity, by an
amusing example of the unequal terms
upon which honorable gentlemen
sometimes meet.
“A very lean, active young fellow of great
honor, weighing perhaps not quite twelve
stone, and who has from his youth taken les
sons of Homicide from a murder-master,
has, or thinks he has, a point of honor to
discuss with an unwieldly, fat, middle-aged
gentleman, of nice Honor likewise, weighing
four and twenty stone, and who in his youth
may not possibly have had the same com
mendable application to the noble science of
Homocide. The lean gentleman sends a
very civil letter to the fat one, inviting him
to come and be killed by him the next morn
ing in HyJe-park. Should the fat gentle
man accept this invitation, and waddle to the
place appointed, he goes to inevitable slaugh
ter. Now, upon this state of the case, might
not the fat gentleman, consistent with the
rules of Honor, return the following answer
to the invitation of the loan onea
Sir:
I find by your letter that you Ju me the
justice to believe, that I have the true no
tions of honor that become a. gentleman; and
I hope I shall never give you reason to change
your opinion. As I entertain the same opin
ion of you, I must suppose that you will not
desire that we should meet upon unequ il
terms, which must bo the case were we to
fight to-morrow.
At present I unfortunately weigh four-and
twenty stone, and I guess that you do not
exceed twelve. From thiscircumstance sing
ly, I am doubly the mirk that you are; but
besides this, you are active, and I am unwiel
dly. I therefore propose to you, that
this day forwards, we severally endeavor, by
all possible means, you to fatten and I to
waste, till we can meet at the medium of
eighteen s'one. I will lose no time on my
part, being impatient to prove to you that I
am not quite unworthy of the good opinio#
which you are pleased to express of,
Sir,
Your very humble servant.”
Blood.
Blood is a mighty river of Life,
the mysterious centre of chemical and
vital actions as wonderful as they
are indespensable, soliciting our at
tention no less by the many problems
it presents to speculative ingenuity,
than by the many practical conclu
sions to which those speculations lead.
It is a torrent impetuosusly rushing
through every part of the body, car
ried by an elaborate network of ves
sels, which, in the course of the
twelvemonth, convey to the various
tissues not less than three thousand
pounds’ weight of nutrtive mate
rial, and convey from the various tis
sues not less than three thousand
pounds’ weight of waste. At every
moment of our lives there is nearly
ten pounds of this fluid rushing in
one continuous throbbing stream,
from the heart through the great ar
teries, which branch and branch like
a tree, the vessels beccm’ng smaller
and smaller as they subdivide, till
they are invisble to the naked eye,
and then they are called capillaries
(hair-like vessels), although they
arc no more to be compared in cali
bre with Lairs than hairs are with
cables. These vessels form a net- ;
work finer than the finest lace-—so 1
fine, indeed, that if we pierce the
surface ac almost any part with the
point of a needle, we open one of
them, and let out its blood. In these
vessels the blood yields some of its
nutrient materials, and receives in
exchange some of the wasted products
of tissue; thus modified, the stream
continues its rapid course backwards
to the heart, through the system of
veins, which commence in the myri
ad capillaries that form the termina
tion af the arteries. The veins, in
stead of subdividing like the arteries,
become gradually less and less nu
merous,their twigs entering branches,
and the branches trunks, till they
reach the heart. No sooner hna the
blood poured into the heart from the
veins, than it rushes through the
lungs, and from them back again to
the heart and arteries, thus comple
ting the circle, or circulation.
This wondrous stream, ceaselessly
circulating, occupies the very centre
of the vital organism, midway between
the functions of Nutrition and the
functions of Excretion, feeding and
stimulating the organs into activity,
and removing from them all their use
less material. In its torrent upwards
of forty different substances are hur
ried along; it carries gasses, it carries
salt—it even carries metals and soapst
Millions of organised cells float in its
liquid; and of these cells which by
some are considered to be organic
entities, twenty millions are said to
die at every pulse of the heart, to be
replaced by other millions. The iron
which it washes onward can be sepa
rated. Professor Berard used to ex
hibit a lump of it in his lecture-room
—nay, one ingenious Frenchman has
suggested that coins should be struck
from the metal extracted from the
blood of great men. Let no one
suggest that we should wash our
hands with the soap extracted from a
similar source!-
-Blackivood.
The Relation of Parent and
Child. —At present, mothers and fa
thers are mostly considered by their
offspring as friend-enemies. Deter
mined as their impressions inevitably
are by the treatment they receive; and
oscillating as that treatment does be
tween bribery and thwarting, between
petting and scolding, between gentle
ness and castigation; children necessa
rily acquire conflicting beliefs respec
ting the parental character. A mother
commonly thinks it quite sufficient to
tell her little boy that she is his best
friend: and, assuming that he is in
duty bound to believe her, concludes
that he will forthwith do so. “It is
all for your own good;” I know what
is proper for you better that you do
yourself;” “You are not old enough
to understand it now, but when you
grow up you will thank me for doing
what I do;” —these, and like asser
tions, are daily reiterated. Mean
while the boy is daily suffering posi
tive penalties; and is hourly forbidden
to do this, that, and the other, which
he was anxious to do. ' By words ho
hears that his happiness is the end in
view; but from the accompanying
deeds he habitually receives more or
less pain. Utterly' incompetent as
he is to understand that future which
his mother has in view, or how this
treatment conduces to the happiness
of that future, he judges by such re
sults as he feels; and finding these
results anything but pleasurable, he
becomes sceptical respecting these
professions of friendship.-
British
Quarterly.
To live in the race; to work for the
men of the future as the men of the
past have worked for us; to sow the
acorns that shall bo glorious oaks one
day; to scatter the seeds that shall
blossom and bear fragrance for the
sons and daughters of those whom we
love and esteem; to feel that our me
mories will not be forgotten, but that
we shall be loved when in the silent
land; that we shall not all die, since we
shall live in the hearts and minds of
those who in their generation will bo
constituent parts of the sacred life of
Humanity as we are in ours, —is the
purest, sweetest, least personal form
which the desire for self-perpetuation
can assume.-
