Here is one of Thackeray's most pleas
ant touches, which, during the beautiful
nights we have been having recently, finds
a response in many hearts:
''It is night now, and here is home
Gathered under the quiet roof, elders and
children lie alike at rest In the midst of
great peace and calm, the stars look out
from the heavens. The silence is peopled
with the past; sorrowful remorse for sins
and shortcomings, memories of passionate
joys and griefsrise out of their graves, both
now alike calm and sad. Ewes, as l shut
mine, look at me, that have long ceased to
shine. The town and the fair landscape
sleep under the starlight, wreathed in the
autumn mistS. Twinkling among the
houses, light keeps watch, here and
there, in what may be sick chamber. or
two. The clock tolls sweetly in the silent
air. Here is night and rest. An awful
sense of thanks makes the heart swell, and
the head bow, as Ipass to myroom through
the sleeping house, and feel as though
hushed blessing were qpQa it.

From the Memphis appeal Of yesterday
we get the following particulars of horrid
the Steamer Mary Alice.
murder was committed about one
o'clock Monday morning. few miles be-
low the city, by negro deck hand on the
steamer Mary Alice, which for diabolical
ferocity SURPRISES anything that we have
had TO record in some time The facts in
the ease. as brought out in the preliminary
examination before Squire Herman, at nine
O'Clock yesterday morning, are as follows;
Some days ago the engineer, Mr.. Benja-
min Kennedy, found fault with negro
fireman named Alex. Henderson, for his
laziness and inefdciency. Alex. Threatened
to Six him. for it, but nothing was thought
of the threat at the time nor since. About
one o'clock yesterday morning, just as the
| Mary Alice was at the head of Cow Island,
Kennedy having to leave his engine, called
out TO a Waterman on duty, named Spencer
| Wellington, to "tell Tuck Gan assistant
engineer) to come and take charge OF the
engine, and to make that id lazy son OF
b-h, Alex. Henderson, fire up.

seizing Kennedy and forcing him into the
darkness towards the guards of the boat.
In moment he heard Kennedy cry for
help, and started to his assistance, but be-
fore reaching him, he was confronted by
Jerry Anderson, powerful mulatto, and a
partner of Alex. s, who knocked him
(Wadlington) down twice, the second time
telling him if he attempted to interfere he
would kin him. He then saw Kennedy
reel, heard splash as he struck the water,
and heard one cry for help, then all was
still. On examining the gunwale, where
Kennedy went over, a large pool of blood
was found, as if Alex. had stabbed him be-
fore throwing HIM over.
| Capt. Dawson, commander of the Mary
Alice, testified that he heard the voice o.
the engineer cry for help. Was on the
roof at the time, and saw man in the wa
ter Ordered the boat brought to, and the
yawl lowered. Could not find the body,
however.
Waterman McCausland was on watch
with Wellington, and after he heard the
fuss, Alex. came to him and told him the
engineer was overheard. On asking him
what he meant, Alex. said that the en-
gineer had struck at him ALEX. and trip
