An Endorsement.

The Carrolton (LouisiaDa) Star of,he gard ult.
says:
We grieve for the honor ofthe town, to have to
record an nhuman outrage practised on the body of
an old negro in this place, named johnson, the
slave of Charles Hines, by Hines himself, which
resulted in death. The negro was nearly ninety
years of age, and universally venerated for his SO,
berness and honesty, well as for his revolution
ary "reminiscences. The monster master. taking
umbrage at some petty offence, deliberately whip
ped and stamped and kicked him to death. on Sat
urday last. The fellow fefgued sickness, as is
supposed, TO cover design of escape, aud even
had the basphemous hardihood 10 affect fear of
immediate death, and to 60 through the funeral
farce If maKing public will. Officer Kerner left
two deputies in guard at bis residence till Monday,
when the body of the negro was disinterred. and
an inquest held over it by the coroner The unan-
imous verdict of the jury--several physicians being
present. also asserting, was, that he died from the
effects of the blows and kicks he had received from
his master. Persons who witnessed the examin-
alton, say that the sight was sickenug; his whole
back cut and bruised into jelly, and the lower part
of his body nearly kicked to pieces. immediately
after the inquest the monster was taken to Jail -
Let him go down hand-in-hand with Legree, a
hideous verifcation of that horrible villain"
The atrocty Of this deed, no person can exas-
gerate. Mrs. Stoves Legree finds p"ra'lel 10
Charles Hines, and this southern paper Ident'nes
him with that monster. Yet. Old Liners endorse
the system of slavery, and the Federal Govern
meut pledges its entire power to enforce the Fu-
gitive act!

AnSther Tragedy.

Another murder took place yesterday afternoon
on George between Race snd Elm streets: Ths
particulars as we learn them are as follows: A
few months since man named John Elias MUIR
ray succeeded in enticing young female named
Elzebeth Clay, to elope with him to this city,
promising to marry her after they arrived here:
By misrepresentation; as is alleged, he postpon-
ed the marriage from day to day and then from
week to week, and few days since he began TO
to tauDt her as not being q true woman. Again
promising most solemnly TO mary her the rext
day, he managed to seduce her, and returned tc
his boarding house. For several days she did not
see nor hear from him and began to make inquiries
as to his whereabouts. She yesterday learned
that Friday night last he had married woman
named Mary Brandon. and that they We're reside
ing on George bstween Race and Elm streets.
Procuring q pistol, she proceeded to the houses
and, knocking at the door, she was admitted by
Murray's wife. Murray, who was seated in one
corner of the reofn rose much agitated, and de.
mauded what she wanted in his house. She en-
quired the cause of his desertiou and marriage
to another female He replied that he had a right
to DO as he pleased, and wished her to leave his
presence. Just as he was approaching her ev-
identity to compel her to leave the house, she drew
her pistol and fired; the ball entered his head, and
he fell corpse at her feet. She then went and
told some of the citizens what shelhad done, and
requested them to show her to the Watch House,
thut she might give herself up. The citizens wens
with her to the Watch House, where she gave
herself up, and was lodged in of the cells her
examination will probably take place to-day. ihe
Coroner held an inquest, and returned VERDICT
in accordance with the above facts'-CiRetnHou

FANNY FERNS OPINION OF SUNDAY Sum
day should be the best day OF all the seven;-
not ushered in with ascetc form, or lengihen-

upon the still Sabbath air should float the malin
hymn of happy childhood; blending with early
song Of birds, and waited upward with flowers

oped brain of childhood with gloomy Greeds, 10

Tou comest, Autumn! heralded by rain.
With banners by great gales iocessant flnned
Brighter than brightest silks of Samarcand.
And stately oxen harnessed to thy wan!
Thou standest like imperial Charlemagne,
Upon thy bridge of gold; thy royal hand
Outstretched with benedictions ore the land;
Blessing the farms through oil thy vast domain.
Thy shield is the red harvest moon suspended
So long beneath the heavens o'erchan ging caves
Thy steps are by the farmers prayers attended
Like fumes upon the altar shine the sheaves:
And following thee in thine ovation splendid,
Thine allnoner the wind scatters the golden leaves

How to Educate a Man of Business

In the education of business man, it must nev-
or be forgotten that his future life will be life of
action ard not of study. Great care must there
fore be taken that the health be not impaired in a
strife for useless honors that the feelings be not
suffered to grow over sensitive in recluse contem-
palion, nor the mind loose its spring of elasticity
undsr load Of cumbersome and impractical learn
ing It. has been said that at least one fourth of
the studen's of colleges leave them with impair ed
health; full half are too sensitive to bear the
rude jostliugs fthe world and perhaps two thirds
Of the La unce have some defect that " ould seri-
ousiy their happiness and usefulness. 1t is
woude fui low many parents spend money which
they can ill spare to uuft their sons for all future
usefulness. A collegiate education cannot be rec
omneud. d AID if attainable, is not desirable. A
counting house ia the business mans college.
When the youth has finished his course of prepar-
atGIy education at a school private seminary, un
der the charge of an able instructor, who teaches
| as much by comrersation as by prescribed course
he should go into a counting house, whatayer may
be his future occupation.
Ii is here thnt he will learn order, method, obe-
dience, and scquire knowledge of life. and the
business of ife 1t is there that he will learn the
value of lime, and the value of money-two very
Important things to know. Whatever of conceit
he may have brought from the village academy is
rubbed out of him. He learns to obey to
submit, and to be patient; to endure reproof with
out anger, and to bear contradiction with good hu-

to decide quickly. to have accurate eyes, and truth
ful ear; and 10 learn there are just sixty minutes
in an hour. A counting house education will be
OF advantage to every man, whatever his future
occupation may be-. moral education need not
be dwelt upon. This is especially work of self
cultivation. No ones principles be called

of logical conviction, and for which repeated sac

Saturday Evening.

How sweet the evening shadows fall,
Advancing fiom the West;
As ends the weary week oftoil,
And comes the day of rest.
Bright u'er the earth the star Of eve
Her radinni beauty sheds;
And myriad sisters calmly wave
Their light around our heads.
Rest, man. from labor; rest from Gin;
The worlds hard contest close,
The holy hours with God begin;
Yield thee to sweet repose.
Bright DER the earth the morning ray
Its sacred light will cast;
Fair emblem of the glorious day
That evermore shall last.

SEAsovABLE AErcDorr.-Manv ves-.

SEAsoEABLE AEKcDorE.-ManyY Years
ago, there was a scarcity of grain in
Norwich, Conn, and man of family aD-
Piled to the miller for the purchase of a
grist, but he, like others now-a-days,
was disposed to avail himself of the gem
ersl dearth for his own gain, whereupon
the applicant cursed him.
Cursing was in those primitive times
an indictable offence. The delinquent
was summoned to appear before one
Squire Hyde to answer. At the time
specified he was there with bible In
hand, to encounter the plaintiffs coun-
sci, who very eloquently described the
enormity of the offence, srraying statute
and precedent against him in the most
conclusive manner. Nothing daunted,
the defendant met the law with the gos-
pei, beginning with the text, Cursed is
he that withholdeth corn from the poor"
1 did curse him, and curse him again.
The Bible curses him. and Squire Hyde
dc you curse him, for one of your curses
is worth two of mine The plea was
overwhelming, and the defendant was
acquitted.
