From that period commenced the intimacy between them which terminated in this mornings cataa trophe. . Poor Pinkney had barely attained his 28th year: but there is no belief, but that fur reas ons of a pecuniary nature, his single life would have come to an untimely end. A change for the better, however, having occurred in hia circumstances, tiia young lady’s friends were induced to sanction his addresses, and thus be come accessories to tho course for which ho has just suffered. . The unhappy young man passed the last oigbtpf Kin bachelor existence in his solitary chamber. From half post right to to ten he was engaged in writing letters.

We have recently come into possession of facts in regard to a very peculiar real estate transaction in ibis city, the details of which aro.inlercsting, as illustrative of character, as well as of the method of doing business, which is considered sharp by a certain class of busi ness men. Some time since, a gentleman, whom vre will call Mr. A., purchased a piece of ground in Murray street, on übich was an old building, which he proceeded to tear down, intending to erect in its place a building more suitable for the transaction of his business. About the same lime, another gentleman, whom we shall call Mr. 8., purchased the adjoining lot, and proceeded in the same mdnncr to take down the did building standing upon it, so that tho work of demolition proceeded upon both at the same time. After this had been concluded, Mr. A., being ready to build himself, and sup posing, quite .naturally, that his neighbor would prefer building at the same} time, paid him a visit in rclatioit to the matter, when he was boorishly informed by Mr. B. that he should ‘build when he pleased.’ Of course, as Mr- A. could not gainsay his right in this re* spcct, the only method left for him was to go on by himself. This he accordingly did. and had progressed so far as to have his build ing ‘covered in.’ when ho was surprised one day by a visit from his irate neighbor. ‘Sir,’ says Mr. 8., ‘you are an isca on my ground !’ Mr. A. rejoined that he thought it must he a mistake. ‘No, sir, it is uo mistake—you are an inch on my ground.’ •Well,’ returned Mr. A.; ‘all I can say is. if I it is so, I am very sorry, and it is altogether unintentional; but I am willing to pay you what the land is worth.’ ‘I want no pay, sir,’ answered Mr. B.; ‘I want my land!’ ‘Sir,’ says Mr. A., ‘I see it is hopeless to try to compromise this matter with you, but I will give you double what you say the land is worth rather than takedown my wall.’ •I want no money, I want my land",’ persis ted the stubborn Mr. B. Argument and entreaty wcro_alike unavail ing, and Mr. A. accordingly proceeded to lake down and re build his wall. -He was permitted to finish his building without further interrup tion. • , ' •; tfc Shortly after Mr. B-concluded to build on his, lot,, and nflwoh's and.carpenters wcrh.set to work ld object^* 1 'Tho"wprk’ progressed finely—story after story went iip os if by magic, and our friend B. watched the operation day by day with increasing interest, in confident anticipation of being able to occu py the premises by a certain period. At length the building was entirely finished, from foun dation to cap-stone—tho workmen had depart ed with their tools—the rubbish had been cleared away—and Mr. B. was complacently congratulating himself mi its successful accom plishment, when he was astonished by a visit from his neighbor Mr. A. •Sir,’ said he, •! am sorry to inform you that you are on inch on my ground!' ‘Pooh ! nonsense!' relumed Mr. B. ‘lt's no nonsense at all,' said Mr. A. ; 'I tdl you you arc an inch on my ground.’ ‘Why, hdtv can that be.’ blustered Mr. 8., ‘when I have only built up to your wall ?’ *Ab, that’s it. in the dryest possible man ner, answered Mr. A. Our friend Mr. B. was somewhat dumb founded. •Send for a surveyor,sir,’ at length he explo ded, ‘and we'll sec about’thia.' The surveyor was accordingly sent for, who. after a careful measurement of tho respective premises, reported to the crest-fallen Mr. C that it was indeed true—he was occupying an inch more than he was entitled to. A propo sition to buy that inch—coining it must be confessed, with a bad grace from him—was now advanced by Mr. It. ‘No, sir,’ returned Mr, A., 'I shall not sell; you cannot offer me money enough to buy that inch ol land. Toko down your wall, sir—down with it. to tho foundation; ‘I want my land!' Mr. It. came to the conclusion that tboganic, was decidedly against him, and yielded with tho best grace he could. Tho wall was taken down and rc-creclcd: and so careful was our very particular friend this lime not to trespass, that lie built an inch short of where he had a right to go. It is perhaps unnecessary to ex plain to tho reader that Mr. A. had done the same thing in the first instance.— N. Y. Times, BY AND BY. There in music enough In these words lor tho burden of a song.

A Brahmin,with his wife and only daughter, were making a pilgrimage to £ho banks of the bacred Ganges. With tho characteristic indif ference of their caste, they had incautiously halted in tho midst of the ’jungle to cook some rice. The little girl, while the mother was occupied in preparing tho frugal meal, had thoughtlessly wandered into tho long grass in quest of some gaudy insect flitting post; on-a sudden, tho lather, who had thrown himself on the ground to snatch a fewtnoments repose, was aroused hy the scream of his child, and, regaining his feet, perceived a full grown chee tah (a species of tiger) in the act of springing upon hia tender girl. To see, and rush to her rescue, armed only with a knifo, was tho work of an instant; ho armed too late to arrest the tiger, as he made his rarely missing, and in this case, fatal spring on the beautiful and dark bosomed maid. A terrible struggle now ensued, the infuriated animal relaxed his grasp of the child and fastened on , the father. The tender and loving wife, only now fully awaken ed to the extent of the danger, forgetting her sex, insensible to aught but her husband's per il, recklessly rushed forward; but ere she could reach the spot to become a third victim, to the insatiate monster, the providential flight of a bullet from my rifle, penetrating the animal’s brain, stretched him dead at her feet. The bravo husband lay extended on the grass in the lasi, agonies of death, drcadful.y mangled, the brute having torn away the greater part of his brain and face. The little girl had already expired. Never can I forget the calmness and appar ently stoical indifference of this Indian woman while her husband lay extended before her, gasping his lost. She supported his head, gently wiping tho blood from his face and lips; no signs of feeling could be detected on her features. I gazed upon her with astonishment: but no sooner was it determined that death had actually terminated the loved one’s sufler ings, then she gave way to the most frantic and heart-rending expressions of grief. The anguish of that woman, death alone can oblit erate from my memory—words cannot picture it. I see her before me os T write, alternately embracing the lifeless and bloody bodies of her husband and child, lavishing over them tho most tender, endearing invocations of affection, then os suddenly turning around and seizing the crimson knife of her heroic husband, plunged it again ’and again into the body of tho insensible animal; uttering all the time the most fearful and violent imprecations of des pair and anguish. It waawiUi £he greatest difficulty she could at length be removed from the tragic scene, and confided to the care of some neighboring villagers. I had occasion to revisit the same scenes some few months after, and I found tho bereaved wife, but, indeed,how changed! 1 could hardly recognize her. Bay and night, I was informed she wandered about calling on her,husband and child. ' A deep,settled gloom, boyoned anything 1 ever witnessed* was ugpn her features; her eyes had a wandering rest less expression. Shoknew me immediately; 'ind'talked in tho most pathetic fetrain-of her Iftaplcw child and hustymd.. ■ Poor.crcaturc!--. I tried to cbnsofelbcr- but fti vantf - ■ Sno fiaitr her only wish was. as soon as tho monsoon or rainy season abated, to prosecute her journey to tho Gancs, and die by its sacred stream. I remonstrated with her on this folly and ex plained to her the divine truthes of Christiani* ty. All I could say produced no impression, nor seemed to abate her determination, and time would not permit me to stay, nor did I ev er chance to traverse Jhc same scenes; but I have no doubt, from my knowledge of Indian character, she subsequently carried her reso lution into effect.

I’ve tried a good many, and have been deceived more than once.’ ‘I was going to say,’ remarked the merchant, camly, ‘that he is remarkable for principle.— Never have I known him to deviate from the right sir—never. He would restore a pin : in deed, {the merchant colored) he’s a little to honest for my employ. He points out flaws in goods, and I cannot teach him prudence in that respect. Common prudence, you know, is— is—common—common—prudence—ahem !’ The stranger made no assent, and the mcr« chant hurried on to say— * ‘He is a parish orphan—taken by on 6W3 woman out of pity, when yet a babe. Pover ty has been his lot. No doubt he has suflered from hunger and cold uncounted times: his hands have been frozen, so have his feet. Sir, that boy would have died rather than be dis honest.

Indeed, Inc boy is en tirely too good for me.’ 'lhcn 1 will adopt him ; and if! have lound one really honest boy, thank God.' The little fellow rode homo m a carriago.and was ushered into a luxurious room; and ho wboAat shivering in a cold corner, listening to the words of a pious old creature who had been taught .of the spirit, became one of the best and greatest .divines that England ever produced. lived Twelve days wlili a Bullet la the Heai • -We find in the New York Tribune of Satur day's following foots &s developed at the post laminationr ; “ BUI' Poole:” • - ' ‘ . *** ■ , A post-mortem examination was mado on Wednesday- by Dr. Fmncll, in connection with Drs. Carnochan, Putnam, Chccseman, Ilart, Wood and others. They found two wounds on the surface of the body—one in tho lower and outer portion of the thigh, the other in tho chest. The one in tho thigh bad two openings about an inch apart, and measuring a quarter of an inch in diameter. It passed through be neath the skin without touching tho muscle of ; the leg. The ball in tho chest entered tho ster num just at tts junction with tho cartilage of the fifth Hb. passing through the bone and pericardium into tho substance of the heart, where it was found. On raising tho heart-bone and exposing tho pericardium, it was found very much distended, measuring five inches in* its transverse diameter, and six in its vertical. It contained about thirty ounces of a scrossan guincous fluid. Tho external surface of the beaut was covered with Qbriuous exudation, the recent product of inflamation. The heart was washed and laid aside with no suspicion that tho ball was lodged in It until after nearly two hours search in tho cavity of the chest, and es pecially along the side of thy spine. At last tho heart was very carefully fell over, and the bullet was found imbedded in it muscular text ure. On making tho incision it was exposed. Its lodgement was in tho septum, between tho vcrticlcs, about an inch and a half from tho apex of the heart and aau&rtorof sn inch from its surface. The muscular substance had uni ted over the ball and healed so far that tho point of entrance was obliterated. He lived for twelve days without any palpi tation, or any fainting or syncope such os is usually experienced in a morbid condition of the heart. Its action was perfectly regular.— There is no question but that, under favorable circumstances, bo might hare recovered, and experienced little', if any, Inconvenience from the ball. Four or five days after bo «-&8 shot, he was quite strong. A story goes that a man came to see him with whom hohad some difD cully, and asked him how ho was gotlinc along, whereupon ho jumped out of bed ana said : "I ain’t dead yet; lam well enough to flog you yet.” Do died from effusion in tho pericarium, stopping the action of tho heart— It is probable that, on Wednesday night, tbo effusion began to coroo on. and it rapidly in creased, and ho sunk immediately. The lungs were pale and axlematouß. The liver, kidneys, stomach and other organs presented an unus ually flno view of organs in a sound condition.

Tub Grave op Aaron Burr.— A correspon dent from Princeton thus describes the grave of Aaron Burr: Near tho remains of Aaron Burr, the second President of tho-collcge, aro those of hiasoo* Aaron Burr, tho Vico President of the United States. For fifteen long years no monumental stone marked tho resting place—there was nothing to tell tho stranger who ho was, or ‘where they had lain him.* . But some two jo r three years ago a plain marble slab was erected by an unknown hand ova* his grave.' The slab' merely contains his name and age, leaving tho passer by to fill up tho history. It is a,con solation to his admirers, however, to know that calumny has done her worst, and her poisoned arrows have all been discharged. However, black his character may be, the time will coma when some impartial historian, writing onp country’s history, will accord to Aaron Burt some little need of praise for public acts.— There aro bright spots in almost every cloud, and the members of tho Closopblo Society of the college at least have occasion, as often as they arc called together, to admire the match less skill with which tho foundations of that society were laid by his master hand.
