SAD EVENTS IN New ORLEANs.-Genfle-
men from New Orleans, inform us, that
murders, duels, and suicides, are events OF
daily and nightly occurrence. The follow
ing from the N. o. True American of the
4th instant leaves no doubt as to the most
melancholy condition of things
New Orleans for some days past has
been the scene of melancholy transac-
tons. Never, in the same space oil time,
were committed so many murders and sui
ciies. On Friday, while a man was under
going the sentence of the law for the crime
OF murder, another WIS committing a sim-
lar crime in the Third Municipality, and
two young men in the F'rt Municipality

ton! These last two were remarkable for
a singular coincidence of motives and pub
lie compassion was strongly excite by the
suicide of two sons hearing the fatal news
OF the decease ofthoir respective mothers.
On Monday two murders were perpetrat-
cd, AMI on Tuesday a criminal trial which
had excited sud interest, was terminated
by suicide.--The unfortunate youth, whose
arm, impeIod by we knaw not what blind
passion, had struck down an inofiensive be-
ing struck at and enled his own life in pris-
on, at the moment he was about to appear
before the court. Educated in exalted SEN
timcnts of homer, tenderly beloved by his
family, and esteemed by his acquaintance,
he was unable to contemplate the horrid
fate that menaced him, and yielding to the
tortnros of remorse for a deed unprc-
meditated, or recoiling before the horror
Of a disgraceful end, snatched himself from
the risk Of undergoing capital punishment

The Gardener and the Rose-tree.
In sweet spot, which Wisdom chose,
~ Grew unique and lovely Rose; ss
A flower so fair was seldom born
!, A Rose, almost without thorn. M
is As months rolled on, the spring appeared,
y. Its genial rays the Rose matured;
Forth from its root a shoot extends
The parent Rose-tree downward bends:
"Ofspring most dear" she fondly said,
= "Part of myseIfl-beneath my shade
Safe shalt thou rise, whilst happy /,
Transported with maternal joy,
Shall see thy little buds appear,
Unfold and bloom in beauty here"
Thus had the Rose-tree scarcely spoken,
Ere the sweet cup of bliss was broken
The Gardener came, and with one stroke,
3 He from the root the offspring took.
S Deep was the wound, nor slight the pain,
Which made the Rose-tree thus complain:
"Dear little darling art thou gone
Thy charms scarce to thy mother known!
Removed so soon $50 suddenly
Snatched from my fond maternal eye!
What hast thou done, dear offspring, say,
So early to be snatched away?
What gone foreverl seen no morei
Forever thy loss deploref"
As thus the angushed Rose-tree cried,
Her owner near her she espied,
Who in these gentle terms reproved
A plant, though murmuring, still beloved:
- "Cease, beauteous flower, those useless cries,
81 And let my lesson make thee wise.
Art thou not mine? Did not my hand
Sc Transplant thee from the barren sand?
Where once mean, unsightly plant,
Exposed TO injury and want;
Unknown, and unadmired, found
And brought thee to this fertile ground;
81 With studious art improved thy form,
Secured thee from th' inclement storm;
And through the seasons Of the year,
Made thee my unabating care?
But now, because thy shoot l've taken,
Thy best Of friends must be forsaken
Think not that hidden from thine eyes,
The infant plant neglected lies,-
No--Pve another garden, where
= In richer soil, and purer air,
It's now transplanted, there to shine
In beauties fairer far than thine.
Nor shalt thou always be apart
From the dear darling of thy heart,
For 'tis my purpose thee TO bear
In future time, and plant thee there,
Where thy now absent offspring grows,
And blossoms a celestial Rose"
These words to silence hushed the plaintive
i Rose,
With deeper bushes reddening, now she CLOVIS,
Submissive bowed her unrepining head,
Again her wonted, grateful fragrance she'd
Cried, "Thou hast taken only what IS thine
own,
Therefore thy will, my Lord, not mine, be
