n A FRlaHTFUL MURDER. The Vicksburg
(Miss )Whg of the 18th ult contains letter
from Milliken's Bend, giving an account of
the murder that recently occurred al Pawpaw
Island. Il appears that Mr.. Philip Wilkinson,
his sons John and Edward, and young friend
named Bogg, were going across the Island on
business and without anticipating any Difficult
ty. In passing cabin formerly occupied by
some woodchoppers, shot was fired upon
them which killed Mr.. Wilkinson. second
shot from the cabin struck Bogg in the thigh
breaking the bone, and a third shot brought
down Edward Wilkinson, and he received two
balls afterward. John Wilkinson then tried to
get a shot at the concealed murderers, and was
fired at several times and finally compelled to
fly for assistance, and save his life. The wife
and daughter Of Mr.. Wilkinson hearing the
the firing repaired 10 the spot, and there dis
covered Mr. w. dead and the two others vel
tering in their blood. The murderers fed, but
were taken, and are still in custody in Mad-
son parish, in this State. The cause of this
outrage has not as yet been stated.

ORIGINAL CHARADE.

What is it that brings TO the captive release
To the heart-strcken mourner season of
peace,
Undimmed by sorrowing tear;
To the worlds weary pilgrim shelter and
home,
Where the poor and the lowly with pr noes
may come,
Yet we shrink from its presence with fear.
What is it that proves to the bondman op-
pressed?
A passport Of freedom--a refuge and rest,
Undashei with harrassing dream;
All what but my fast that comes down as
veil,
O'er the crimes of the guilty, the faults of the
frail, .M.l.B ...#.M#.s
That their virtues more brightly may beam?
My NEXT as jewel Oft dazzles the sight,
Where the feet Of the dancers go merry and
light
Al the turn of some delicate hand;
Yet where the broad pillows break heavy and
free,
IT'S rolled from the depths of the fathomless
sea,
And carelessly strewn on the sand.
We gaze on il often, as piled to the sky
II rears its proud summit TO heaven on high,
Defying the elements ire;
And sometimes enchained by its beautiful form
. =
We sigh THAI q bosom so seemingly warm,
Should lack the promeIhean FIRE.

EXPERIENCE.

There are many things that we will never
learn until experience teaches US. Our pre-
ceptors may endeavor to instruct us in them,
our friends may advise US concerning them,
our observation may furnish illustrations Of
them in others, but these contain lessons we
will not learn except from suffering in our own
case, the fruits Of having previously neglected
to learn them. And what is yet more unfor-
tunate, many will not even learn wisdom from
the things they actually suffer.

ORIGINAL CHARADE.

THERE'S stream gushes forth from the hills of
delight
To travel life's pathway through pleasure
or woe, q.
But the dark wing Of grief ever hinders its
flight,
And scatters life's blossoms tempestuous
below;
That fount is my FIRST, and its polishing trea-
Lies hid like a gem in the shadows of night.
And its fancying tongue ever tells US with
pleasure,
The dim ray Of future is smiling and bright.
As the mourner drops down at the close of the
day,
To stiAe.the sobs Of his woe-strcken breast,
Then his time fever'd brow waneth down in
decay.
And longs for season of slumber and rest;
The last wreath of hope in his bosom hath
broken,
Whose streams of emotion now sadly may
: flow,
The sweet dream Of pleasure hath vanished
unspoken,
When stunned by my NEXT with its frenzy
ing blow.
When the travelled stained pilgrim unsheltered
afar,
Droops down like gem in the cave of de-
spair,
To glitter at times like hope falling star,
Then sink in the gulf of misfortune and
care;
But lur'd by my WHOLE ere his eyelids>awoke.
He sank as a wave in It's tremuous breath,
No bosom can rise from the palsying stroke.
For its fate is unerring, its slumber is death.

ALAS. THE POOR lNDIAN!'

On Saturday several Of the Winnebagoes
were drunk in our streets. Keep them to them
selves, free from the influence Of the whiskey
sellers, on their own hunting grounds. and
they have tolerably good opinion Of the white
man; but give them intoxicating draughts. and
you destroy their nobleness, and sow the seeds
of death; while, at the same time, you lessen
their respect for those who should be their
dearest friends. May the mark of shame be
written on the brow Of him who proffers the
accursed cup to their lips!

When an eye ihkt hath shone like the glance

As we bend o'er the place of their dreamless

Ever tells to the pilgrims who thither ward

DEATH OF A MISANTHROPE.

A most singular character. named J. B. Ros
enda, native Of Italy, died in New Orleans
last week, aged fifty five years. He had been,
in early life, crossed in love, and came 10 this
country with amind soured by disappointment,
hater Of the human family. He entered the
night watch of New Orleans. in which he re-
NAMED for twenty six years, during which
time he lived as much as the nature ofhis n
ployment would admit of, secluded from the
world. enduring the society Of others because
it enabled him TO amass wealth; even on his
death bed he could not bear the idea that his
ashes should intermingle with those Of his
kind, and ordered that his body be buried in
part away from all other graves, and that a
monument be erected over it. He died worth
about $l2, 900 in cash, and $4,000 worth of
property. He willed two-thirds of this to a
counryman Of his in New Orleans, and the
balance, after few small donations, 10 sis
ter of whom he had not heard for twenty two
years. Ledger.

GIVE HIM ANOTHER DOSE,

Standing al the corner Of Third street at the
Avenue, few days ago, we saw genteelly
dressed young man, leaning on the arm oftwo
boon companions, and so drunk that he could
not stand, without this assistance, on his part.
A friend remarked take him into the tavern
and give him another dose.' This was in
irony, but the companions Of the drunken
man did so, and in few minutes the party
conducted the object Of their charge to the
drinking cellar.

PLAIN DEALING.

Almost every one will admit that a true
friend will tell one his faults kindly but plain
ly; yet, ifone tries this plan Of showing his
friendship, he finds out that he is presently
counted an enemy. However, he has acted
the friends part by dealing plainly. II is folly
in any TO reject or think meanly Of such acts
Of frankness; they are vastly serviceable. None
is so faultless as not to require an occasional
waking up; and certainly we would rather
have friend wake US up TO our faults than an
enemy.

while her presence can bless. and her words

FIRE. Yesterday afternoon, about four
O'Clock, smoke and fame were discovered pro-

promptly on the ground, but few buckets OF
water had the effect Of suppressing the fire
before the fremen had an opportunity of rem

in a heap of ruins. Last night, abouth hall pasI
six. an alarm Of fire was raised, flames betng
observed to dan from the top Of the building
occupied by Messrs MAIZE and Sons, sugar
rehners, in Bachelor street, Dale street. The
building is seven stories high exclusive OF the
cellar, and al floor after floor burst through,
the flames roaring like mighty torrent, rose
TO an immense height, threatening destrnc"
ton to every building in the immediate neigh
borhood. Explosions occasionally took place
and were followed by the emission OF dense
masses of smoke, against which the poor tire
men struggled with more than prudent per-
severance.
The whole of the streets for some distance
were lighted up as noon day. The face Of the
Exchange clock appeared as if illuminated,
and even in Lord street the reflection of the
flames was visible. The poor people who re-
side in the locality were much frightened, and
for length Of time were busy in removing
their furniture, bedding, &c., amidst scene
of utmost confusion and the cries and agita-
ton Of despairing people. The building
and machinery cost 100000. Both are totally
destroyed. Taking it, however, at half that
sum and calculating the stock at .f40, ,000-
which we believe is pretty near the mark--it
will require f60, 900 to cover the loss, inde-

in attendance, and displayed praiseworlhy con-

A THOUGHTFUL YOUTH.

A young man from the country, went into
a small town, some years since, to buy an um-
brelia. Having purchased a very nice one, he
returned home; but on the way, was caught in
heavy storm. He could not soil that new
umbrella, however; so he sheltered IT in the
hollow Of a large tree; and, for his own part,
shrugged his shoulders, and took the shower

sweetest and frmest hope is to meet you
where there are no parting seas, no interpos-

Of our loving too much. no shame for loving

youth about grown, and afterwards followed

he got into the yard OF Edes' house, he made
threats, Sc, which induced Edes TO come out.
Just as Edes opened the door young Green
stepped up before his father, who had previ

the blow which his father aimed at Edes. The
axe penetrated through just under his shoulder
blade, to his heart and he died Instantly, utter
