An ACToR's ADVICE TO A CLERGYMAN
The celebrated Garrick, having been re-
quested by DR.. Stonehouse to favor him with
his opinion as to the manner in which a
sermon ought to be delivered, the English
Roscius sent him the following judicious an
swer:
Hy Dear Pupil You know how you
would feel and speak in the parlor concern
ing friend who was in imminent danger of
his life. and with what energetic pathos Of
diction and countenance you would enforce
the observance of that which you really
thought would be for his preservation. You
would not think of playing the orator, or
studying your emphasis, cadence, or gesture I;
you would he yourself; and the interesting
nature Of your subject, impressing your
heart, would furnish you with the most ma
tural tone of voice, the most proper Ian
guage, the most engaging feature, and the
most suitable and graceful gestures What
you would thus be in the parlor, be in the
pulpit, and you will not fail to please, to af-
feet, and profit. Adieu, my dear friend.

Of DIR. Gum. She was then thirteen years
Of ace. Russ had provided her with dolls
and other playthings in abundance while at
school. also articles of more use, and. felt
such an interest in her that he labored under
the impression that the should be allowed 10
do his bidding.
THE GREEN-EYED MONSTER.
Being disappointed in his inability to take
her away, he expressed his feelings TO the
child by accusing her of ingratitude. He,
it is said was jealous of her even at that age,
from the fact that she spoke very favorably
of little schoolmate Of hers, named Henry
Gould. From the time Russ notified DIR.
Gum that he should no longer pay for the
girls tuition, he has done nothing whatever
for her until this winter, when he procured
for herself and brother situations in the office
ofthe National Mexican Loan Company.
THE YOUNG LADY's FATHER.
Some time since Miss Dayton's father,
whom she had not seen from childhood, and
did not even know by sight, presented him
self and made himself acquainted. He
stated that he resided in Washington, ID. C.,
and was engaged in trade with the South,
etc, etc up to this time Miss Dayton had
been known by the name Of Fanny Stan
wood Upon this she wrote letter to Mr..
Russ. thanking him for his kindness, and
stated playfully that as she had found her
father she had no occasion to retain her as
sumed name. but would resume her own.
This was the first of any correspondence be-
tween the two. Deeming herself competent
for some kind Of light business, in order to
earn her own livelihood she applied to him
to procure her some suitable position. He
complied with her request by procuring the
position of corresponding secretary in the
Mexican Loan Company, which place she
filled with astonishing ability.
POPPING THE QUESTION.
She came to board with the family Of Mr..
Kenyon, friend of DIR. Gum. Since that
time Russ, it is understood, made proposals
of marriage, which she peremptorily but
kindly declined, desiring still that he should
remain her friend, but that she could not ac-
cept him as a lover. This appears to have
been the last act of ingratitude." 1t may
be proper to add, that the young lady
friends are not aware that she ever stopped
at the house of any Of Mr.. RUSS friends las
such.) During her visit to this city and
New York she remained in the families OF
Judge Edmonds Mr.. Smith, Mr.. Kenyon,
and others of her preceptors friends-also,
however, acquaintance Of Mr.. Russ. As to
the rooms hired by Russ on Broadway, f Z
the purpose of keeping house, it is stated on
Miss Dayton's behalf, that after consulting
with her friends, she deemed 1t advisable,
under the circumstances, to decline the Oh
fer Of housekeeper.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN
BROOKLYN, N. Y!
HEART AND ATTEMPTS TO
TAKE HIS OWN.LIFE!
Interesting Particulars
The young Lady a Spiritual Medium!

We published on yesterday, from the New
York World, brief statement Of terrible
tragedy enacted in Brooklyn on Christmas
day, in which a young man by the name Of
Russ attempted to takethe life of Miss Dayton
and then sought his own life, by shooting
himself and jumping into the dock. Both
parties were shot in the head, and supposed
at the time to be MORALLY wounded. From
the Heraids report we get the following adj
ditional particIilars.

TURNING UP.-The amount of furniture,
books, &c, that was appropriated" in Nor
folk after the evacuation of the city by the
so-called Confederates can hardly be esti-
mated.
Since the close Of the war some portions
of this ''long lost" has been found, and the
latest discovery that we have heard Of was
in the shape Of several trunks of valuable
books, that saw the light on yesterday for
the first time in many moons.
1t is said that knowledge is power" and
we presume it must be so, for the force of the
accumulated knowledge in one of these

INCIDENT AT THE WILMINGTON THEA
TRE.-An incident at the Wilmington, n. c.,
Theatre recorded by the Dispatch, displays
human nature as well as sectional feeling ::
At the conclusion of the first act of Camille
on Tuesday night, the orchestra played the
Bonnie Blue Flag. This was the signal for
a hearty round of applause from those who
once fought under that banner. Some little
excitement followed, and a soldier on duty
at the theatre, for the purpose of preserving
order walked rapidly up and down the aisle
leading to the orchestra apparently undecided
whether TO suppress the Dixie" music or
not The matter was satisfactorily compro-
missed, however, by the performance of Yam
llee Doodle, which called forth the applause
of those who preferred that air to the Bonnie
Blue Flag. Such demonstrations are rather
TO he deprecated than otherwise in the pres
ent state of ofiairs but We were happy to OBJ
serve, on the night in question, that to I'M
due feeling was manifested by either party,
and the whole affair passed of pleasantly.

EASILY SATIsFIED.-The Chicago Repub-
licdn relates story Of an elopement, in
which the husband was easily paci6ed. A
couple from Jerseyville stopped at the Amer
lean House, CarI:nville, and represented
themselves as man and WIFE The pair went
TO bed at night, but were scarcely under the
blankets before a man arrived with an officer
and had the first arrived arrested and lodged
in Jail The latest arrival then took ''tother
feller's" place in the bed, representing him
self as the woman's lawful husband. On
Tuesday the injured Benedict had the guilty
parties arraigned, but a compromise was eff
fected by which the woman agreed to go
home with her lawful lord. s...l
