Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, on Sun
day evening, remarked to his hearers in
church that he could say what probably few
men could, viz; that he is not able to desig-
nate one card from another by its name; that
he had never witnessed play, nor yet an
opera, and that he had never been to circus;
that he was unable TO name different liquors
by their color or taste; and that into certain
improper places he never had entered.

A SISTERS LOVE. A lady who has lately
lost brother by death, writes us in vein Of
touching sadness, to which many afflicted
hearts will reshond F." cannot tell you how
deeply am afflicted by this sudden bereave
ment. Day after dry l stand gazing after him;
stretching out my hands to the unknown
shore; calling on him for some assurance that
he still Is, and not lost forever; but all in
vain; and the beautiful faith Of my life reels
under the first stroke. God forgive me, but
cannot help uttering, If man die shall he
live again9 Were the world mine, would
give it to be treasured on this one point, upon
which, never in my life before, has fallen the
shadow Of doubt. Z soe1Iq7 aaYkpsa

"A OAAPHlc PICTURE OF NAPoLEoN.-1he
personal appearance of Napoleon, in the last
day of his power, is thus described by Lamar
tine, and will be interesting as coming from
his pen, though we doubt very much its cor
rectness:
"The Empire had made him old bsfore his
time. GratIbed ambition, satiated pride, The
delights of palace, a luxurious table, vol.
umptuous coach, youthful wives, complaisant
mistresses, long vigils, sleepless nights, divide
ed between labor and festive pleasure, the
habit of constant riding which made him cor
pulent, all tended to deaden his limbs and en-
ervate his faculties. An early obesity over
loaded HIM with flesh. His cheeks formerly
streaked with muscles, and followed BY the
working OF genius, were broad, full, and over
hanging like those Of Ohio, in the Roman
medals of the Empire. An excess of bile ming
ling with blood, gave yellow tint to the skin,
which, at distance, looked like varnish of
pale gold on his counteuance His lips still
preserved their Grecian outline and steady
grace, passing easily from smile to menace.
Ills solid, bony chin formed an appropriate
base for his features. The paleness of his
cheeks gave greater hrillancy to the blue of
his eyes; his look was searching, unsteady as
wayering flames emblem of inauietude,
His forhead seemed to have widened, from
the scantiness of his thin black hair. which
was falling from the moisture of continual
thought. 1t might be said that his head, nat
urally small, had increased in size 10 give
scope between his temples for the machinery
and combination of mind, every thought of
which was an empire. The map Of the world
seemed to have been encrusted on the orb of
thatsrefectiye head. But it was beginning to
yield; he inclined il often on his breast. while
crossing his arms like Frederick the Great
an attitude and gesture which he appeared to
affect. Unable any longer to seduce his cour-
tiers and his soldiers by the charm Of youth,
1t was evident he wished to iascinate them by
the rough, pensYe and disdainful character of
himself-of his model, in his latter days. He
moulded himself, as it WERE into the statue
OF reflection, before his troops, who gave him
the nick name of Father Thoughtful; he as
sumed the pose of Destiny. Something rough,
rude, and savage in his movements, revealed
his Southern and insular origin. The man
OF the Mediterranean broke out constantly
through the Frenchman. His nature, too
great and too powerful for the part he had to
play, overlooked on all occasions, He bore
no resemblance to any of the men around
him. Superior and altogether different, he
was an offspring OF the sun, and Of the battle
held-out of his element even in his own pal
ace, and stranger even in his own empire.
Such was at this period the profile, the bust,
and the external physiognomy of Napoleon

A Drcadf ul Affuir-Prebnble Homicide


A Dreadful Affuir-Prebnble Homicide
About o'clock last evening terrible affair
took place in front of Guys Hotel, on Seventh
street, above Chestnut. AT the time named,
three shots from revolver were heard, and the
crowd upon fastening to the scene found man
lying upon the steps of the hotel bleeding, and
another man standing near him with Colts re-
volver in his hand. The PROSTATE man cried
out that he was killed, and the other declared
that he had fred the shots, and giving up the
pistol avowed his Willingness to be taken into
custody. The wounded man was taken to the
drug store on the corner, and from there he was
removed to the Pennsylvania Hospital.
The sufferer proved to be Mr.. Philip S. Clawges,
late of the firm of Wilmer & Clawges, fancy dry
goods dealers, No. 139 Market street. His in
uries were of the most serious character all three
of the shots having taken effect. One ball pass
ed through his breast and out at his back, an
other entered the abdomen, and the third shat
tered one of his arms The man who had fred
the pistol was taken to the mayors Office He
proved to be Isaac G. Shurlock, bookkeeper
in the firm of which Mr.. Clawges was lately a
member. He declared freely that he had COM
mitted the deed, that he had been instigated to
it by the bad conduct of Clawges, and he express
ed no regret at the occurrence
Mr.. Clawges lies at the Pennsylvania hospital
alive this morning, but his recovery is prououn-
ced impossible by the attending physicians. His
wife went to the institution last night, and has
since remained by the bedside of her dying hus.
band. The sufferer is about forty-6ve years Of
age, and has four children living. One Of them
| is grown up. Mr.. G. was well known in the
| city.
! From the statement Of Mr.. Shurlock it seems
that for some time past an intimacy has existed
between Mr. Clawges and Mrs. Shurlock. Mr.. G.
had first been introduced by Mr.. Shurlock to
the wife of the latter, and he took frequent oc'
| casion to poison the mind of Mrs. S. against her
husband, by telling her stories of his inhdelity
to her and striving to undermine her virtue
Clawges, tits alleged, drugged wine in the house
l'Of Mrs. S. and then took advantage of her con
dition to accomplish his bad designs. Quite re
Gently the lady told the story Of her wrongs tt
her husband, and the tragedy of last night wa.
the result. 1t is further said that Clawges hat
borrowed several sums of money from Shurlocl
and his refusal to pay the amounts thus Dor
rowed, has probably added to the indignation o
the injured husband.
Mr.. Sherlock is about % or "a years of ag
he has been married about two years and ha
one child living.

malice against w. We never knew anything

perance, was stated at Cedar Rapids. In the
same article be was spoken Of a. youngman OF

death mentioned AZ warning to all young men.
All the agency we had In the matter was simply
10 make aote, as We do daily Of many other
