HORRIBLE ASSASSINATION IN NEW On
l:xANS.-Our city has again been made
Tie theatre of most revolving and bloody
murder. About nine o'clock last night q
free cotored man named Michel Honore
was orumaily assassinated by another
Tree eoiored person named Dutriel Barron
toosh natives of this city, and we'll known
near the corner Of Ursuline and Roman
streets, in the Second district. The cir.
cumStances, as we could gather them, are
Substantially as follows: About five
months since, the parties had quarrel
one evening IN the Globe ballroom, since
winch time they have been deadly foes.
Last night BARRON, accompanied BY two
friends, Xavier and Baptiste Jourdain,
repaired to the residence OF Michel Mo.
nore, On Ursuline street, and remaining
on the banquette, sent small boy into
ihe house TO call him out. He came out,
walked to BARRON and asked him what he
wanted. The latter, it is said, made no
reply, but struck him over the head with
a stick, when Honore drew a pistol and
fed at him. BARRON then attacked him
with dagger, and killed him, stabbinp
nm thirteen times-six times in the
breast, four in the back, and three in the
lett arm. Honore fell dead ON the ban.
quette-the murderer and his accomplices
he'd, and have not since been heard of.

SLEEP AND DEATH.
From the German.


The Angels of Sleep and Death, locked
arm in ann, wandered over the earth. 1t
was evening. They laid themselves down
upon lofty hill that overlooked the
habltatlonS Of man. A mournful stiffness
reigned around, broken only by the
evening bslls, whose sound came family
from the distant hamlet. Silent and
SPECIFICS as is their wont, these benefi
cen. guardian angels of mankind, lay in
close embrace. till nights dark mantle
EeR around them. Then the Angel oil
Sleep rose from his messy couch, and
scattered with noiseless hand the inyisi.
bic seeds of slumber. The evening wind
carried them to the silent dwellings OF
the weary husbandman. Soon sweet
sleep embodied in its gentle embrace the
inmates of the rural cottages-from the
Sray-haired sire, whose tottering steps a
staff supports, to the infant in its cradle.
The sick forgot his pains, the mourner
his SORROW, the poor his cares. All ewes
Were closed. His task being finished,
this beneSo,ent Angel again lay down by
his Steiner brothers side. when morn
ing breaks" cried he, with happy inno-
cence, ''all the world will bless me as
their friend and benefactor. Oh. what
JOY, thus to do good in secret and un-
seen. How happy are we, invisible mes
sengers of the good spirit How beau.
tiful is our quiet office ~ Thus spake
the Angel OF slumber. The Angel Of
Death gazed upon him in silent sadness,
while tears, such as immortals weep,
stood in his large dark eyes. "Ah u
said he, would that 1, like you, could
rejoice in cheerful thanks; but the world
calls me its foe and joy-destroyer." uOh
ny brother" answered the Angel d
sLumber' "will not every good man, upon
awakening. recognise in thee his friend
and gratefully bless thee2 Are we No,
brothers, and chiiiren of one Father q
50 he spake. The fearful ewes of tn,
Angel OF Death shone with a CLEAN O
PLEASURE, while he pressed his gentle,
of0fber more tenderly to bis heart.
