AKNODD; Last evening, at about a quarter past eight o'clock, the well-known Dr. Robert M. Graham, was shot in an affray witlt Mr. Ernest Tolcda no. Probably there has occurred in this city, for the last ten years, no event that has created so much sensation, or excited so much com ment. Dr. Graham was unfortunate in beingover come; now and then with a craving, a morbid longing for liquor ; anti when under ihoinfluence of lids stimulus, he, otherwise calm, quiet, cour teous, a thorough gentleman in demeanor and appearance, became obstinate, hot-headed, quar relsome. dangerous. His superior education and skill as u physician, tine intelligence, plea sant manner, handsome dignified person, and highly respectable and influential connections here made him very popular; and: his grevious weakness was borne with for his many good qualities, and the esteem had for' his, family.- It was often predicted to him, however, by his own friends, that be would die by Violence,' or, as one of them told him, “ Graham, mark me, you will die in your bools and in the gutter.” The prediction has been verified to the letter. Dr. Graham's name is known throughout the United States, from his killing Mr. Loring, in New York, when intoxicated, from bis trial, condemnation, imprisonment, pardon and re lease. Ilis reappearance in his old haunts hero created a singular sensation. I never shall for get the first time I met h|m. after his retprn fiom his .northern prison. He stood in front of a drugstore ihat for. many,years was at the corner of St. Charles and Common streets, and in which he had an interest. It was n gather ing place for many street loungers and politi cians.'- He had been seen there year after year; when he went to New York, and While in pri son, his portly Game was much missed; it, was not known that he was going to come back, and I was fairly startled, when, on turning the cor ner one morning,T saw hihi in his old place,' in bis usual easy attitude, looking Just the same, cigar in mouth and small cane in band—only a deathly pallor had replaced the usual healthy 1 color of his face. The New York scene of blood flashed over me; I averted my head, passed bn. The same impression was.no doubt produced on the community generally, and (or a long time this pallid-face man was as a strangor in the community where he had lived so long, where there had been so many to giyo him a cordial grasp of the band. He seemed prepared for this : had no debut made up his mind to it, and perhaps bad a secret, defying pleasure.in staying in his old haunts and attending, with silent pride, to the duties of his profession. _ Gradually a change of feeling came over the mass of our citizens in regard to the man ;, we are a warmhearted, sympathetic people, if wq ire hot-headed ; and the reserved, unobtru sive course pursued by Doctor Graham, his at ‘ tention to his-profession, his avoidance-of his ' former weakness, after a while induced^apy ' to forget what bad passed, apd the doctor, ye gained much of his old social acquaintance apd a large share of. professional patronage. But the morbid craving for stimulus. though • once quenched in blood, could not be cured, d came back after a while, and it became known that Doctor Graham had occasional relapses m to bis old habit of intoxication. Still he con , trived-not to let this be seen about the streets. • and through the .influence of , his family and friends, he was a year ago elected, by the Amer , * «• piration of the term, by the election of a Doctor 1 Hart; and for a fortnight, it appears, hadbeen under the impression that Mr. Ernest loledano, 'a young man, prominent in the American par- J.

There was a little maiden Walked at her lather’s side, All through the daisied meadows In the cool eventide. He called her his wee bit blrdee, For, as they went along, To him her chatter sounded , Moro sweet than any song. And the blinking stars, ; and the stillness, And the amberswimming West, Filled with wondor and feeling The wee bit birdie’s breast. And she prattled a hundred , fancies, Child like, quaint and fair— She longed to be the thistle-down, And sail the evening air j And, watch, from the midway ether The deep green earth grow dim; Then follow the sinking sun, to break In some brightening East with him. - Or, in an ancient forest To live as a Fario Queen, - And be served by a myriad sportive sprites , In silver suit and sheen; And the never-failing flowers itp wear That grow by the Fairio tvclis, And over the Fairio lakes to glide, ■ To the chiming of unseen hells. And to speak, and a palace fine should stand Where the wood-grass whistled wild, Porphyry arches, and carvon pearl, , Over crystal pillars piled. Once again he'tvalltod the meadows, in the gloaming’s golden grey, But not thewee hit hitdie canto . That daisy-whitened way. For wo suffer a will wo do not ken, And the kind mysterious Powers Had changed those child-like dreams to fact, In a higher sense than ours. And her pulsing stream of soul liad.run To its muin-liko home .afar, Beyond tho light of the farthest sun And the highest-hanging star.; .And purer blooms (ho. wee bird wore Titan in Faiile-world e’er blew, And a brighter than Fairio crown she boro, • And a tweeter life she knew.

New' Obleans, Sept. 20,1859. ty, had procured • his defeat. It was known that he had expressed himself openly, for some days past, in violent terms, against Toledauo, cursing him and avowing his purpose to.shoot him at sight. These expressions and this re solve were uttered while Dr. Graham was under the influence of liquor, which, it appears, he bad been since Thursday last, so much so as to be generally noticed. Last night, the Chief of Police, Mii. Adnras, who is related to Graham in some way,\sawhim at the Ruby Coffee-house on Common street—a popular resort —and noticed that he was in li quor. He felt a presentiment something was going lo happen, should Graham remain in that condition in so public a place; he went up to him and told him he must go home; if be crea ted any disturbance he would arrest him .and lock him up for the night. - Graham insisted that be was not intoxicated, but promised toga home soon. Mr. Adams left him to meet some police officers at his own private office, promi sing himself to return to the Ruby and gel Gra-, ham Sway and take him home. A few mo-, ments after he was called out and told that Dr. Graham had just been shot dead. . Ernest Toledano was a college mate of mine. I shall simply say of him, however, that he is a member of one of our oldest add most, respected Creole.families; and though somewhat wild, the young man has never been accused of anything mean or dishonorable. Ills own statement of ibis sad affair, as I heard froth him in the lock-up,’’-(and where his manner was com posed, though his voice now-and then was a little choked.) was to this eilcct: Up to within a fortnight ago, he and Dr. : Graham were on the most courteous terms. He then noticed a change in Graham’s manner, which became cold, and finally entirely estrang ed., He paid no attention to this, for he was busy with bis oandidateship for clerk of one of the district courts. Last. Saturday the street commissioner sent him word, through. Alder man'Muntoe, that Dr. Graham was going about the streets abusing him and threatening to kill him at sight. The same news was given him by other parlies. His friends advised him to .arm. himself; its Graham was a dangerous man. He accordingly went home and provided him-, self with a revolver, but remained with his fa mily that evening. On Sunday he went up town to see bis friend, as usual, and talk about the election... When lie appeared on St. Charles street, a friend, (whom I saw saw, afterwards, and who confirmed jhisslaienierit.) met him and begged of him not to go on Common street, near the Union or the Buby Coflee-houses, as Gra ham was'then threatening still to kill him, : He did not see why he should'go out of his way; but he concluded finally to do so, and avoid en countering Graham.- Yesterday he went to the opposite side of the river where his father, re sidesreturned to the city in : the evening by the lower ferry, and came uptown. At the Union Coffee-house; on Common street, between Camp and St. Charles, he met several friends, and siaid awhile chatting. By : and-by ho was asked by a friend passing by .to go over to the “ Buby” and taken drink With him. • They crossed the street, Tpledano, stopped his friend in front of <}ie large shoTy-windaWibPPihtjalld.’s; TeaUuraut, (ricxl.fo to admire the .fine display of fruit it always contains. They then entered the Ruby, where there is generally a crowd. Toltdano saj’S ho had no Jhought of Graham, and hud no idea,of meeting hint. On entering the saloon, he saw Graham a few steps ahead of him, talking with a Dr; Bensa don, I believe.' At the same instant. Graham turned his head and caught sight, of Toledano.- (who is a small man.) and gave.him a scowling look, and put his right hand up:to his left coat side, as if to draw a weapon. Toledano saw the look and motion, drew his revolver, and fired the five shots with singular rapidity, and most remarkable steadiness of aim. Dr. Gra ham did not fire f. he did not have time, I sup pose. He rushtd towards Toledano, who drew back, and Dr- Graham staggered oitt into the street and fell in the mud and water, dead. His pistol—a small pocket Derringer—wits picked up in the street, leaded. Toledano im mediately exclaimed, “ I am the roan that did it; I did it in self-defence!” He surrendered himself quickly, and was taken, to the. police lock-up. where his friends soon followed. The body of the dead man was taken into the cofiee bouse, the doors of which were closed, and a physician was on the spot speedily; but his skill was of no avail.. The Chiel of Police then bad his body taken to his private office, and there, after hearing Toledano’s statement, (he parting with me. by slapping his breast and saying energetically •’ there is no purer con science than mine!”) Stretched out on a table, f saw the unfortunate man, his large, handsome form stiffened; his pantaloons and boots covered with mud; his coat, vest, and cravat off; his shirt stained with mud and it little blood; his, arms crossed; his hands and wrists blackened tied with his cravat ; his shirt bosom partly open ; and his fine features white and fixed for ever. There was no expression of pain about the countenance; it was calm and serene. -A physician standing by showed me the wounds: three small black spots below the right breast, so close. together that the hand could cover thein, and one in the left arm. The last I had seen of the man he stood at my elbow, chatting pleasantly, looking hand some, dignified, and courtous as usual: now he lay a blood stained, mud, and rain-soiled corpse. Charleston Courier. Warning to the Intemperate. Charles Lamb tells his sad experienoe'as a warning to young men, in the following lan guage: ‘•The waters have gone oyer me; but out of the black depths, could ! be heard,! would cry out to all those who set a, foot in the perilous flood. Could Ihe youth to whom the flavor of the first wiue is delicious as the opening scenes of life, or the entering upon some newly disov cred paradise, look into my' desolation, and be made to understand what a dreary thing it is when he shall fcel himself going down a preci pice with open eyes and passive wifi—to sec his destruction, and bare no power to -stop it, and yet feel it ail the way emanating from himself —toseemll godliness emptied out of him, and yet npt able to forget a time when it was other wise—to bear about the piteous spectacle of bis own ruin. Could he see my fevered eye, fever ish with the last night’s drinking, and feverish looking for to-night’s repetition of the folly : could he but feel the body of the death out of which I cry hourly with feebler outcry to bo delivered, it were, enough to make him dash the sparkling- beverage to the earth in a(l the pride of its mantling temptation.” ~ Pearson and Olivo, (says Rogers,) on ono occasion, informed Horne Tooko lbat.be could not possibly survive beyond, a single day; and yet he lived for years thereafter! .bet mo mention here what .was told mo by a lady, at Clifton: —“to my,girlhood, I Had a illness, during which I heard Dr. Turton declare to my mother, in the next room, that I could not live.

A Fast Woniad and her Victims, The public has healed of the late numerous chapters no less startlipg than interesting, in the history of fast ybupg men, who, yielding to temptation in an evil and unguarded hour, have rushed headlong to nun: but here is a history which eclipses them account of an ex traordinarily clever antjbfilliant “fast” woman, whose power of fasoinn'tiog and beggaring men has been wonderful. We copy from the Paris correspondent of the Courier lies etats llnis : “Among the young' "spendthrifts noticed in the journals of the’day A iifcthe name 6f a Prus sian prince, count ’or (filaron Enshel'who has eaten up, in less than dour years, a fortune of more than six million francs, all for the sweet eyes of a woman Well fenown in Paris as the Marchioness of Pavia.; .( The history of this woman is curious.

She spoke seven languages perfectly; ,-. The pianist brought her with him to Paris, where he had the weakness to present her as a legitimate wife in society, •and even at a court Ball. At this ball she made such an impression on one of the princes of the Orleans family; that she attracted him to the home of the man whoso name she bore. Borne down by ; his excessive expenses, the artist quitted France; for a time to mend his fortunes abroad. His companion, left at home, during his absence, quitted it one fine morning, to follow Lord Ward,kd6wn in London by his conquests of this kind.

Napoleon.,amid scenes of carnage, could ab siract himself from the horrors around him, and sit down and pen those lender, playful epistles to Josephine, which excite oursmilcsand make us forget the soldier in thchusbnnd. No soon er is the battle lost and. won, and the shout of victory raised’, than a missive of congratulation, void of all the circnmsiancesof war is dispatch ed to the dear ones at home, without whose sympathy the hardest won victory would bo barren. Napoleon greets Josephine from Mar mirolo, and —sends a kiss to his wife’s lapdog. Nelson batters Copenhagen, and composes verr ses to Emula, his “guardian angel.” Herein, Love; the great leyelcr, places the drummer boy on a par with Iris General, and ibb forecastle Jack on a footing with his Admiral. The letters subjoined are selected from a nu merous correspondence that, passed between Napoleon and Josephine, n-hen he was engaged in campaign in Italy, in 1708. Amid the perils -of war he could find lime to pen only the brief est expression of his ardent love for Josephine. The letters given below are among the longest in the series. It is a inalterof regret that none of her letters were preserved. They were prob ably destroyed as soon as, read. . ' The first letter is fiom Napoleon to Josephine when she was at Milan. It is dated Marmirolo, July, 1800: “I have received your letter, my dcnrestlove; It has filied my heart with joy. lam greatly obliged to you for the trouble you have taken to send me all the news ; , your health js doubt less better now. I feel sure you are getting quite well. Let me strongly recommend you to take exercise on horseback. “I have been dull ever since we parted, I never cease thinking of your kisses, of your tears, and your amusing little jealousies-; the charms of. the matchless Josephine ever- keep my heart and feelings warmed. * When free from care or business, what happiness to pass every moment with you,’to love only you, to tell it and prove it. to you 1 ’ X shall send you your horse: but I hope you will soon join me.

But it is only a dream, and you may judge from it that my fever has not left me. Your letters are as cold as if you were fifty. They are like fifteen years after mar riage; they exhibit the friendship and feeling of the winter of life, Josephine! This is. very wrong, very wicked, very treacherous in you.

Among a world of brass and bold im pudence. be stands forth an honor to himself; showing to others that he at least has a good bringing up, and knows what-belongs to good manners. Ask him a question, afnd ho will not look cross enough to bite you. If you are looking for anything, he will take pants to find U for you if he can. When in company with others, he does 'not usurp all the conversation, and endeavor to call the attention of others to himself by boisterous language, lie listens attentively to his seniors, and modestly advances his opinions. We love such a man—wo do sincerely—and his compa ny we highly prize. If ho meets you in the street, ho pleasantly bows, and bids you good morning. You do not find him at the corners, using profane words, or seeing him standing at the entrance of churches on the Sabbath, lie quietly enters his pew and lakes a seat without a flourish. He goes to hear not merely to sec. Such young men there are ip the country and in the city. We often see them. '.You-will find them in some of your printing offices, work shops, and other places, where to.earu one's.liv ing is honorable. When they conte upon the stage of active life, they must succeed—it can not bo otherwise. We would give more for a modest, unassuming man, fur all the practical business of life, than for a score of brassy impu dent rascals, who are not worth the bread they keep from moulding. A Fight with Bumble Bees. A merchant doing business on Main street, . found a " bumble bees’ nest” in a'slore box.— lie carefully corked up the' hole where they made their exit and entrance, and set the box out in the back yard. The next day an old ap ple pedlar came along and' wanted to biiy a box, and the merchant thinking to have a little fun, sent him out in the back yard with a hatch et to open the box to which eve have alluded.— The yard is surrounded with a high fence; so that'there is no way of getting out except through the store. After the pedlar passed thidogh the door into the yard, the merchant turned the key, and in company with -others, whom he had advised of the trick, went up stairs to witness the scene. The pounding on the box.spon stirred.up the bees, and when the lid. was rinsed about a’quart of the varmints pounced upon the old fellow. He dropped his : hatfchet and broke for the door, but finding that.locked ho ran around in a stooping posture, hugging the fenct ns close as possible, until' liii) eye fell upon it large Jamestown weed. This ho pulled up by the roots and continued to run, slapping at the bees iii the most earnest, energetic, and it the same lime the most ludicrous manner iuiogiua ble. Becoming a little heated by the active ex ercise, ho hastily pulled oft his coat, and with, glaring eyes and'expahded muscles be went in to the insects most vigorously, anti in a short time the yard was strewn with the carcasses of his enemies. Ife had worn the Jamestown; Bush completely aw-ay, and his body was liter ally green from its frequent contact wirlithc well-wielded weed. Upon being admitted into the store, lie told the story of. bis recent tri umph with many flourishes, being perfectly ig norant of the cruel trick.that had beeu played upon him, —Wheeling Intelligencer.

Educate, instruct, encourage, and otter all the incentives you can offer to give in terest and dignity to labor at homo. Enlist the beait and intellect of the family in tbo support of a domestic system that will make labor at tractive at tbe homestead. By moans of the powerful influences of early homo education endeavor to invest practical labor with an inte rest that will cheer the.heart of eaclrracmber of the family, and thereby yon will give to your household the grace, peace, refinement and at traction which God designed a home should I possess. ' ■ % The truth is wd must talk more, think more, work more, and act moro,in'referenoo to ques tions relating to home. The tmining and improvements of the physi cal, intellectual, social and moral powers and sentiments of the youth of our. country requires something more than tbo school-house, acade my, college, and university. The young mind should receive judicious training in the Hold, in the garden, iu'the barn, in the workshop, in tbo parlor, in the kitchen—in a >vord, around the hearthstone at home. Whatever intellectual attainments your son has acquired, ho is unfit to go forth into society if ho has not thrown around him the genial and purifying influences of parents, sisters, brothers, and the man-saving influence of tbo family go vernment. The nation must look for virtue, wisdom, and strength, to the education that controls and shapes tho home policy of the fa mily circle. There can bo no love of country where there is ho love of homo. Patriotism, true and genuine, the only kind'worthy of the name, derives its mighty strength from foun tains that gush out around the hearthstone;, and those who forgot to cherish tho household inte rests will soon learn to look-with indifference upon tho interest of their common country. Wo must cultivate (bo roots—not tho tops.— Wo must make tho family government the school, the farm, the church, tho shop, the ag ricultural lairs, tho laboratories of our future greatness. Wo must educate our sons to bo farmers, artisans, architects, engineers, geolo. gists, botanists, chemists—in a word, practical men. Their eyes must bo turned from Wash incton to their States, counties, townships, dis tricts, homes. This is true patriotism, and the only patriotism that will perpetually preserve the nation. . ..
