Another Old Brute PerseVeres I'M
..l....-sf til He Succeeds.

We are indebted to the jackson Wing
aud Tribune for the following particulars
of "a sad story"
- Professor A. Metcalf, for many years
O teacher of music in the Memphis Con-
ference Female Institute, of this city, SCI
duced beautiful young girl, to whom he
was giving private music lessons, ana afS
ter discovering that she was In Il condi-
ton to become a mother fed to parts az
known. Prof Metcalf has for fifteen years
enjoyed the confidence of this commune,
ty 10 high degree Almost blind, un-
ganely, and delicate fsica!ly, with a face
that might excite pity, but never admira>
tiOn-oitener disgust, none dreamed OF
his possessing those passions, which have
eliminated In the ruin of a beautiful young
woman, and the deathless misery of at
least two families The young girl whose
life has been blasted, is oil a most respec
tibie family, and the intimate friends of
the sedueer, for many years. For reasons
satisfactory to ourselves we suppress her
name, for the present at least MetcalFs
conduct has been fully investigated by the
trustees Of the Institute, and the facts ellie
tied show that the criminal Unison com
menced during vacation, and was con
tinued at his own house, and the resi-
dence of his victim. lie visited her
regularly during July and August at her
fathers residence, and she was at his
house frequently during that time,
and afterwards She was not a
bOarder at the Institute at any time,
and whilst student she was of.course IN
der Its regulations only during collegiate
hours The seduction, and after inter
course, was at her fathers house, and the
residence Of the sedueer Metcalf guilty
conscience so oppressed him, that he fled
to parts unknown, before the least suspi-
cion attached t. him. We tender bis ex-
cellent wife, land injured family our deep~
est sympathy. For the seducer, who has
violated the confidence of trusting friends,
che sacred ties Of the marital relation, and
bRsely betrayed a pupil under his charge,
what fate should be his as there not
some secret curse, some hidden thunder,
red with immortal wrath, To blast the
wretch" over whose hSing form swells the
fearful shadow of his great crime.

A CHINESE SERMoN.-The following
discourse 10y converted Chinese tailor,
with reference TO tho merits Of Confucian-
ism, Buddhism, aud Christianity, is worth
preserving
man had fallen into deep, dark pit
and lay in its miry bottom grooming, and
utterly unable TO move. Confucius walked
by, approaching the edge Of the pit, and
said, "Poor fellow | am very sorry for you.
Why were you such fool as to get in there
Let me give you a piece of advice; If you
get out don't get in again A Buddhist
priest next came by and said, Poor fellow
/ am very much panied to see you there
| think if you could scramble up two-thirds
Of the way, or even half, / could reach you
and lift you up tho rest" But the man
in the pit was entirely helpless, aud una
bic to rise. Next the Savior came by, and :,
hearing the cries, went to the very brink
Of the pit, stretched down aud laid hold of
the poor man, brought him up and said,
Goo, and sin no more"

Cure FOR FELON. As soon as tho fell
on makes its appearance, bind on to it a
poultice of yellow clay wet with cold water,
from an eighth to quarter ola inch thick.
Wet it as often as it begins to get dry, aud
put on fresh poutice two or three times
in twenty four hours. 1t will almost en-
tirely relieve the pain, and the felon will
be ready to lance in an almost miraculous
IL short space Of time.

THE EARLY DEAD.

The Early Dead the Early Dead
Breathe low their names with tears,
Though dust hath lain o eF each young head
For long, long weary years
For ah as faded their young lives
AS fade the flowers Of June,
That breathe their sweetness on the air,
Then pass away so suOn,-
As died the brightness from their ewes,
And paled their check s rich bloom
And Ger their hrows came silently
The presage of their DOOM
And day by day as dropped their forms
What hopes all bright and brave
Faded away as mournfully
To find with them grave
And when, at lust, their loving eyes
Were closed in dreamess rest
And folded lay the chiseed hands
Across the pulseless breast;
When from the sweet lips scaled in death
Came back no answering smile,
No lisped word Of soft caress
Our sorrow to heguile;
When still and calm lay each fair brow
That ne or should throb with care
And parted smoothly, lay Bright cur.5
OF soft and silken hair
What stormy waves of grief swept DER
The suffering souls deep sea
What visions sunk thcii gttering d)mes -
Tie ShruJ-Jut nat the trsti
And when amid the cypress shade
GhOstlille stood forth the stone
That marked the spot where they were laid
To slumher all alone;
When from their old, familiar haunts
Was missed their wouted tread
And stance, broodiug over ALL
Proclaimed that they were dead -
W bat longing filed the aching heart
To hear their tones of gc,,
To catch the rare and tender smiles
We never more should see
Oh bitter, bitter, scaidiuy tears
Fell or each sleeper head
Then breathe but softly, when We spcaI
OF them-the Early Dead Du.ryE.

SNEAK THIEVES AT WoRK.-Between IL
O'Clock Tuesday night and daylight yesterday
morning, the residence OF Mr.. ]. j. Grace, No. 10
Society street. was entered by daring thief who
made good nis escape with suit OF the proprie.
tors Clothes in the pockets Of which were several
valuable papers, checks to the value Of between
four and Ave hundred dollars, and roll Of loose
money. MIR. Grace retired at about II o'c.ock,
and LETT his clothing hanging on a chair near one
of thewindows. The roo5er clambered up the
gate post on to the piazza SHED, and entered tie
bedroom through one of the windows which were
merely bowed. He seems to have known the con.
tents Of Mr. Grace's pockets, fer he contented
himself with securing the suit o. clothing, and
quietly making his exit. Mr. Grace had been out
the day before collecting FOR the firm OF Cameron
Barkley, and this accounts for the number Of
yaluables he had about him. The payment Of the
checks have been stopped, and the whole affair
| has been placed iu the hands Of the detectives.
On Wednesday evening, q party Of gentlemen
who were spending the evening at house In
Laurens street. just In the rear Of the scene OF the
above robbery, were somewhat discounted when
about to take their departure to fn5 tnat the hat
rack near the front door had been cleared Of hats
coats canes, and every thing worth taking. The
theft was adroitly accomplished, and not the
| slightest suspicion was aroused until the guests
| were taking their departure
