I Yesterday morning at eleven o’clock
precisely, an unfortunate young man,
Charles Augustus Pipkin, suffered the

All'our oitizens wlio were present, at
the picnio given in Mantua, some two
years ago, wilt reoollect that Augustus
was then introduced to Clara, and im
mediately began topay- her particular at
tentions. From that period their inti
macy dates, and it was continued until
it endod nt last in the puinftil oatastro-
plieof thin morning.
iero is overy

pecunioaity prevented, his single life
would earlier have coirio to an untimely
ond.-
A change for tho bettor, however, oc-
ourredln his circumstances, and Clara’s
friends were indticed t» sanction
his .addresses, and thus became
ories to tlio awful calamity which
I trow him iU'tfro hoy-day of his
youth.
THE LAST HOURS. ,
— „ -_.jg man passed .the last night
of his bachelor existence in bis solitary
chamber. From half-past eight to ton
ho was'busily engagod in writing let-,
ters. .Shortly after ton, his younger
brother, Henry, knocked at tho door,
when the doomod man told him with a
firm voice. to"como in ” iU| jnHs wlf iff
Upon being asked when ho intended
to go to bed, ho replied, “notyot.” Tho
ucstion was then asked him, “how ho
bought ho would sleep!’,’to whioh his
answer was,“pretty well.” He then,
expressed a desire for n cigar and n‘
of water, which were given to 1 him.
rothor now demanded of him if
ho would “want anything more that
night.” Ho said "nothing,” in a firm
■voice.'»'4 sorosr* *s<BI v-O
His affectionate relative then rose to
take his leave, when tho doomed man
, ‘considerately advised him "to take care
. of himself.”
311 At precisely one minute after Beven
tho next morning, tbo victim rose and
promptly, dressed himself. Ho' Had
sell' control enough to shave without the
slightest injury, ! tor not a single scratch
appeared on-liis chin after the opera-
jtfon. It would seem that he devoted
' an usual.caro to his toilette oil
illSion. Tho wretched man was
attired in a light blue frock coat, "with
frosted metal buttons, and white waist
coat, and nankin trowsers, with patent
leather boots.
Having descended the stairs with a
quick step, he Altered tile apartment
whero his brother 'and a few friends
were waiting, lie shook hands cerdi-
nlly witli all present, and on being ask
ed how ho had slopt, answered, ."very
well;” nnd t|io further demand as to
tlio state of his mind, ho said “he felt
happy.” One of tlie party having Bug-
' alnt would bo well to tako
