Horrible Murder and Suicide-A Noble Dog
 A EIendish Man.

We record this morning one of the most trightful instances of human depravty that it has ever been our misfortune to learn of The circumstances, which are briefly these are shocking beyond parallel:
 A German shoemaker, named William Eb- berling living in this city, on Fourtheenth, near Madison-street, has, for a iong time, lead an unhappy life with his wife. Their quarrels and dSsensions have frequently disturbed the peace of the neghborhood, He has, on more than one occasion, brutally beaten and maltreated her, and her life was one of drudgery and hardship On Thursday afternoon last, about three o'clock, he was seated on his bench, working at his trade, when dispute arose between them, and he made sudden spring upon her, catching her by the throat, and inhicting five wounds upon her with sharp. pointed shoe-knife which he had in his hand at the time, any one of which was sufficient to have caused death. She is not dead yet, but the physicians in attendance pro- nounce her recovery impossible. He then fled from the house, followed by large Newfound- land dog belonging to him, and proceeded to the river and jumped in, for the purpose of drown- ing himself. He was dragged ont, however, by the dog before he had accomplished his pur- pose. He then caught the dog, and with the same knife with which he had stabbed his wife, and which he had never let go, deliberately cut its throat and again jumped into the river and succeeded in accomplishing what the more mo- ble brute had prevented him from doing at first
 The murderer is young man, about thirty years of age. His body has been recovered and the Coroner called to hold and inquest. Louis Democrat, October G.

Twill be all the Same in a Hun
 dred Years"

Twill be all the same in hundred years! w w hat spell-word to conjure up smiles and tears! Oh, how oft do muse, mid the thoughtless and gay on the marvellous truth that these words convey! And can 1t be so? Must the valiant and free Have their tenure of life on this fra decree? Are thetrophies reared and the gores they've
 won,
 Only castles of frost work confronting the sun, And must all that's joyous and brilliant to view As midsummer dream be as perishng too? hen nave Pty, ye proud ones-be gentle, ye great, O remember how mercy beseemeth your state: For the rust that consumeth the sword of the brave Is eating the chain of the manaced slave And the conquerer's frowns and his victims tears Will be all the same in hundred years! Twill be all the same in hundred years! What spell-word to couture up smiles and tears! How dark arc your ford es ye sons of the soil Whose heirloom is sorrow, whose birth right is toili Yet envy not those who have glory and gold, By the of the poor and the blood of the bold! For 'tis coming, however they may Haunt in their
 pride,
 The day when they'll moulder to dust by your side, Death unicth the children of toll and of sloth, And the carron reptiles carouse upon both; For time as he speeds on his viewcss wings, Disenames and wthers all earthly things; And the knights white plume, and the shepherds
 crook
 And the minstrel's pipe, and the scholars book, And the Emperor's crown, and his CosSacks spears, Will be just alike in hundred years. Twill be all the same in hundred years. 0 most magical fountain of smiles and of tears, To think that our hopcs like the flowers of June Which we love so much, should be lost so soon! Then what meaneth the chase after phantom joys? Of the breaking of human hearts for toys? Of the veterans pride in his crafty schemes? Or '' the passion of youth for its darling dreams?" Or the aiming at ends that we never span! Or the deadly aversion of man for man. What ayalethit all! o ye sayes say Or the miser's joy in his brilliant clay? Or the lover's zeal for his matchless prize The enchanting maid with the starry eyes? Or the feverish conflict of hopes and fears, Ii 'tis all the same ill hundred years: An, tis not the same in hundred years, How clear soever the case appears; For know ye not that beyond the grave, Far far beyond, where the cedars wave, On the Syrian mountains where the stars Come glittcring forth in their golden cars, There boometh land of perennial bliss, Where smile to think of the fears in this? And the pilgrim reaching that radiant shore Has the thought of death iii his heart no more, But layeth his staff and sandals down For the victors palm, and the monarchs crown And the mother meets, ill that tranquil sphere The delightful child she has wept for here; And the warriors sword that protect the right Is bejeweled with stars of undyin light; And we quaf of the same immortal cup While the orphan smiles, and the slave oksup, So be glad my heart and forget thy tears, For lis NOT the same in a hundred years,
