dity Intelligence.

The residents of Lispenard street were thrown into
quite state of excitement on Monday evening, by
the announcement that nan had been shot in bull
ding in the rear of No. 36. The particulars of the
affair seem to be rs folows:-A young man, whose
name is unknown TO the authorities, had for some
dime been in the habit of visiting the wife of a
Frenchman named John Lejer, who resided at the
above number, and finally, by his attentions to the la
dy led her husband to suspect that all was not as it
SHOULD be between them. The visits OF the youth
are said to have been long and frequent, and the iea
Gus husband finally forbade him the house. The
,onng man, however, thought proper to continue his
calls and did for some time clandestincy, until
on Monday evening the husband came home and
caught him enjoying the lady's society. He Instant
/, flew into a rage, and drawing pistol from his
pocket, planted charge of powder and shot in the
posteror Of the youth, who, yelling with pain, rush
ed into the street, and soon disappeared up West
Broadway. Policeman Webster, of the 9Th ward,
soon made his way into the house, and arrested the
enraged Frenchman, whom he took before Justice
Connolly, and he committed. The wounded
lover has not since been heard of, and unless he
makes his appearance Court to-day, his tormentor
will be discharged, complaint has been made
against him. The lady whose attractions proved so
potent pretty well advanced in years. and is not,
TO the casual observer, remarkable for beauty or love-
illness.

WHERE MEN SHOULD DIE.

How little recks it where men die,
When once the moment g past,
In which the dim and glazing eye,
Has looked on earth its last;
Whether beneath its sculptured ntn
The cOfilned form shall rest,
Or in its nakedness return
Back to its mothers breast.
Death is a common friend or foe,
As different men may hold;
And at his summons each must go,
The timid and the bold
But when the spirit, free and warm,
Deserts il, as ii must,
What matter where the liieless form
Dissolves again TO dust!
The soldier falls, mid corses piled,
Upon the battle plain,
Where reinless war-steeds gallop wild
Among the mangled slain;
But though his cOrSe be grim 10 SER,
HOOf-trampled on the sod,
What recks it when the spirit, free,
Has scared alOft to Cod
The towards dying eye may close
Upon his dOwny bed,
And softest hands his limbs compose,
Or garments DER them spread
But We who shun the bloody fray,
" here fall the mangled brave,
60, strip his coffin lid away,
Ard see him in his grave.
'rwere sweet, indeed, TO close our ewes
With those we cherish near,
And waited upward by their signs,
Soar to some calmer sphere.
But whether on the scafiold high,
Or i'll the battles van,
The fittest place where man can die
Is where he dies for man.
