AMusEMENrs LAST EVENING.

TIE ST.. CHARLxs.-"A New Way to Pay Old
Debts" was illustrated TO medium auditory, a. to
numbers, last evening, Mr.. Edwin Booth playing Sir
Giles Ouerreach, and displaying much ability. The
character Of Welbon was very well borne BY Nr.
Charles Pope; and that of MaraR had extnvagant
justice done it by Mr. Bowers, who will never be un-
der accusation Of underdoing part.
THE VARIETIES The Road to Ruin y. was tray
eed by the Company last night in the presence Of
good house, which did not hesitate to applaud the
excellent progress made in that downward path. We
have heretofore noticed critically the very fine per-
formance Of this drama, and need not repeat an
opinion which It's rendering last night gave no
cason to change. The Misses Gale and Jackson
danced into the admiration Of all beholders as usual
and-the curtain rose on the rcicaI dessert of the
entertainment.
The CHRIsTY MINsTRELs fel1nd that the weather
was small adversary to contend with, when II set
up in watery opposition, for If it did not render fire
sides attractive, it at least diminished the drawing
power Of outdoor attractions by the amount Of diff.
Guilty II interposed to their partaking.
The AMrHrrHEArER collected its quota Of sight.
and entertained them just as well as If their
number had been thousand. The volume Of shouts
Of laughter and applause was only decreased, the
heartiness thereof not at all affected.
THE CAxPBELLs picked up several corporal guards
and proceeded to tickle them in their approved and
unfailingly successful style. Rumsey, Newcom band
Lehr are natural comedians inimitable in the ETH
opian line, and the merely musical attachment of the
troupe exceedingly hard to beat in that depart

as any singers in the land. The payes on wind and

An Incident.

Mr. B "a young gentleman of fine talents,
was years ago chief clerk in a bank in Virginia.
He was good scholar, and courageous and honest
young man, but the leader Of an indel club, and
had nearly succeeded in throwing from his mind the
last shackles OF what he used to call the "nursery

mother had taught him.
dollars in bank bills had to be carried to Kentucky
and he was selected to carry it. As he was obliged
to pass through part Of the country where highway
robbery and even maroer was said to be frequent he
wrong road, and having lost himself was glad to find
shelter anywhere. He rode long time in the for
est amid the darkness and chilliness Of starless
October night.
At length he saw dim light, and pushed his horse
forward until be came to psor, wretched looking
log cabin. Il was now near 10 O'Clock. He knocked
and was q omitted by woman. who told him she and
her children were al0ne-her husband had gone ont
hunting; but she was certain he would return, as hs
always came according to promise. The young mans
feelings may be well imagined Here he was, with .
large sum Of money, alone and perhaps in the house
of of those robbers whose name was terror to
the country. He could go no farther was to
be done? The woman gave him supper, and pro-
posed his retiring to rest. But no, he could not
think Of permitting himself to fall into the hands Of
robbers He took out his PISTOLS examined the prim-

such thing. He was terribly alarmed and expected
this would be his last night on earth. His in6del
principles gave him little comfort. His fears grew
into perfect agony. What was to be done?
At length the rough backwoodsman rose up, and
reaching over the strangers head to little shelf

EVERY MANS AuroBIoGRApHY.-In the Spanish
Gallery at the Louvre, at Paris there hangs ceebra-
ted picture by hurillo, founded on an old legend
which represents that certain monk was called to
die, when engaged in writing his own biography.
Grieved at the abrupt termination Of his unfinished
task, the fiction goes, that he sought and obtained
work. Wonderful is the power with which the artist
has embodied the conception There is the monk
seated in his CELL intent his solemn toll It ID not
the ghastly face and form of the dead but the con-
turned etherealized and vvied through and through
with the life and motives Of eternity.
The legendary fiction will have no reality with any.
No one who goeth hence returns to finish the work Of
lfe But there is intensity Of motive enough in the
sober truth that every man actually engaged day by
day in writing that autobiography which neither time
nor eternity will efface II may be written in high
places or in low, in public remembrance, or in the
honest heart of domestic affection; but We are wri
ting fast, we are writing sure, we are writing fol
