AGRICULTURE. MORALITY, AND FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE Volume 4, CHAPTER 11. The letter was from the attorney of| Miss Mary Marker, a maiden aunt of Ned Murdock, formely residing at the West It contained the-intelligence of the spin ster’s death. The lady happenning to have a fit of generosity when she made her will, had bequeathed to her graceless neph- : ow the sum of ten thousand dollars. I Here was a god-sond, and Ned leaped up six feet in the air with astonishment and delight. , j But tho worthy stock-broker was troub led} for although he was a broker, lie was a good Christian, and had the welfare of his nephew near his heart There was something about the youth, he liked, not withstanding ho went to the play and boar ded at a fashionable hotel. His only object was tho reformation-ol the young man, whose ruin and premature decay were foreshadowed in his daily habits. His proposition to employ him in his own ofiico was merely a stratagem to obtain a hold upon him. This legacy seemed to step between him and the accomplishment of his benev olent purpose. “What are you going to do with mis money Nod?” asked ho with a troubled countenance : I am named ns your gunr dian, you perceive. . “Bah, guardian ! I am twenty-one next week Uncle Joseph,” roplied the young man, unable to conceal the elation the as tounding intelligence had produced on his m “True; but ibis legacy may be tbc ruin of you, Nod.” “You nro absurd, Uncle.

If it will make any difference, 1 will give you the same salery you receiv ed and Smith’s.” “Couldn’t think of it, Uncle Joseph.— A thousand would not procure my servi ces, now'' , The stock-broker sighed. Ned was as good as lost, in his opinion. There was no hope for him, and much as it troub ed him, ho saw no method of preventing ie hour longer Uncle Joe tried to prevail upon his wilful nephew to adopt a prudent system of living, and preserve his capital until a favorito opportunity occur red for investing it. . . . „ Ned was resolute. Visions of balls, operas, theatres, fast horses, and a rich wife flitted before his excited imagination. The sum or ten thousand dollars appear ed to be inexhaustible. In vain Uncle Joe reasoned that its possesion was only equ.v olont to an income of six hundred dolla . Ned was sure of being worth twenty thou sand in five yenrs, and fifty m ten. I never occurred to him that fast horses and [lie opera could not be supported without encroaching upon the principle. CHAPTER HI.

In duo time the legacy reached uncle Joseph, who placed Ned in full possession. In another month, a large gilt sign, bearing the “name and style” of a new firm—E. Murdock & Co., astonished the mercantile world, and Ned wns no longer out ofbusines9. ~ The dignity of the new firm—the Co., was merely a flourish of the artist’s pencil to give eclat to (he thing—demanded that the senior partner should have a wifo. Fortunately fotf the felicitous carrying out of Ned’s idea on this subject, thingsKhad for several months been progrossmgTo wards this event. J Our young merchant had paid his ad dresses to tho daughter of a mercantilo j man, reputed to be wealthy, and now that “ho had come to his possessions,” tho re I was no obstaclo to an immediate marri- ace. A house in a fashonablo street was pro cured ; ihecage being ready,tho bird was caught, and Ned found himself tn tho lull enjoyment of life. Ned was no niggard, und things went on swimmingly. Dinner pnriles, and tea parties, and evening par ' tics folftwed each other in rapid succes sion. ’ .. . i Money flowed like water. • Notes on three six and nino months were given. Ned said the business was bound to pros por —like Richolieu in the play, Ned said there was no such thing as fail. One hair of his legacy only had been invested in his business at the commence, ment of the operation. Six, nine and twelve months did the rest. But his house keeping afluirs absorded the other halTm loss than six months. His from a rich family, ho reasoned, and must be | supported in stute. At the end of those six months, when the first of the notes became due, Ned was not a little astonished to find that he lmd nothing to pay thorn With. Ho look ed over his books to sea where the ten thousand had gone to ; it was only oust in | tho balance when weighed against Ins business and his family expenditures. Bad debts and unfortunate speculations stared him in the face from every page, and Ned began to be a littlertroublecr. A dim consciousness that he had been going , too fust, crept into hiso mind. It was a disagreeable reflection, and w'hen ho went . homo to dinner that day, ho dodged round . a corner to avoid uncle Joe. In the meantime, Tom had acqu.tted himself to the entire satisfaction or his uncltL The head clerk had left, and bo had been installed in his place. Living within his means, indulging in no fashion able dissipations, tho futuro was bright with hope. CHAPTER IV. One morning while Nod was P°" d ® r ' n 8 on the unsatisfactory state of his affairs, » neighbor brought him the news of the fail ure of his wife’s father! Ned was horrified, for it must be con fessed that in his present emergency, ho had based some rather extravagant hopes on the Tact of having a rich father-in-la . It was a heavy stroke to his philosophy. The vision of a rich wife was suddenly and voilenily exploded. A five hundred dollar note came due that day and he had been thinking of drop ping into his father-in-law’s counting room about I o’clock, to see if he had -anyth,ng ° V The thought of applying to undo Joe occurred to him ; but the worthy old gen tlemen was too blunt by half, and would bo likelv to tell him some homely,truths. The day wore away with vain dovisings of means to extricate himself from hts em barrassments. The note was not pmd- W The 1 next day,people who had long sus nected that Ned was travelling to fast, be gan tosee with a clear vision the true Ktnte of the enso. 4 . n . _ Before two o’clock, Ned was in Clin CCr «How’s this, Ned V’ asked uncle Joseph, entering the counting room.. , . ••Don’t mention it, uncle— dep t men lion it! .Before y ou \ } s own that you were all right, and I was all wrong?’ replied Ned groaning in spirit. ••I did not come to reproach you, Nou far from it.

Of course* I could not displnco him.” “No, certainly not.” ' “But as you have a wife, I wilt make the salary six hundred now.” “Thank you, uncle ; I will gladly ac cept the place.” Ned did accept it, and though it was a sad fall from his former position ; ho took his place at the deskin his uncle’s office ns the assistant of Tom, with the best grace in the world. It is surprising how misfortunes will humble a man —how they will make him accept with joy a position at which, in the days of his prosperity, he turned up his nose in disgust. Mrs. Murdock was in the main, a sen sible person, and made the best of her al tered circumstances. Three rooms in a retired street were obtainod to supply the placoof the fashonablo residence in Tre mont street, and the young couplo went to housekeeping on a reduced scale. Ned kept within his means this time.— Tho humiliation of his fall gradually wore away, and ho was surprised to find him self much happier, than when they had been surrounded by all tho appliances olj wealth and luxury. j Ned remained three years with undo . Joseph, who annually increased his salary, 1 thus enabling him to add to the comforts of life, and still kg&fcAviihin his means. At the end oftlperiod, the old gentle man finding himself old enough and rich enough to retire, gave up tho business to his two nephews, who, we are happy to re cord, are udw doing remarkably well.

TEE YANKEE AND TEE PIRATE. There lived not many years ago on the eastern coast of Mount Dessert, n large isldnJ off the coast of Maine, an old tish orman by the namo of Jedediah Spinnot, who owned a schooner of somo hundred tons burthen, in which he, together with four stout sons, was wont about once a year to go to the Grand Bank for the pur pose of catching codfish. The old man had fivo things, upon the pccuhar meut ol which he loved to boast-his schooner j Betsey Jenkins and his four sons. The (bur sons Wore all that thoir father represented them to be, and nb one ever doubted his word when ho said that ihtir like was not to be found for fity m,l “ around. The oldest was 22, whito tho youngest held reached ins 10thi yoar, an they unswered to the names of Seth, An : drew, John and Samuel. One morning a strangor called upon Jedediah, to engago him to take to Hn * an * some iron machinery belonging to steam engines for sugar plantations The terms wero soon agreed upon, and tho old man ana his sons immediately set about putting ;the mechinery upon board ; that accom plished, they set sail for Havana, with a fair wind, and for several days proceeded |on their course without an adventure of unv kind. . One, morning, however, n vessel was descried off the starboard quarter, which, after some hesitation, tho old man pro nounced to boa pirate. Them was not much time left them for doubting for tho vessel saluted them with not very agree able whizzing of on eighteen pound shot just under the stern. „ “That means for us to heave to, re marked tho old man. , , , “Then I guess wo’d better do it, hadn t we'!” said Seth. “Of course.” Accordingly tho Betsey Jenkins was brought up into tho wind, and her main boom hauled over to the windward. “Now boys,” said tho old man, as soon as the schooner camo ton stand, nil wo can do is to be as cool ns possible, and trust to fortune. There is no way to es cape, that 1 can see now, but porhaps they will lake such stuff as thoy want, nnd then let us go. At any rale, there is no use crying about it, for it can’t be helped.- Now, get your pistols and see that they aro I sure-loaded, nnd have your knives ready, but be sure to hide them, so that the pir ales shall see no show of resistance. In a few moments all the arms which tho vessel afforded, with tho ncccption of one or two old muskets vverc secured about tho persons of our Down [vaster , nnd then they quietly awaited the coming of tho schooner. • . “One word more, boys," said the old man ; just ns the pirate camo round under the stern, “Now watch every motion 1 ninkc • • As’Captain Spinnet censed speaking, tho pirato luffed up under the fisherman s lee quarter, and in a minute more tho lat ter’s deck was graced by the presence of a dozen ns savage looking mortals ns eyes ever looked upon. , 1 “Are vou captain of thlsvessel? asked the leader of the boarders, as he approach ed the old man. “Yes, sir.” “What is your cargo? „ “Machinery for steam engins. “Nothing else?’, asked the pirato with a searching look. At this momet Captain Spiunefs eye caught what looked like a sail off to the south’ard nnd east’ard, but not a sign bo- j trayed the discovery, wwi w!...« & brilliant, idea shot through his mind, he hesitating “ Well, thero is a little something else. “Ha, nnd what is it?” „ “Why, sir, p’raps I hadn t ought to tell, said Capt. Spinnet,counterfeiting tho most oxtremo P perturbation. “You see ,t was Son to measa sort of trust, an’ twouldn t be right for me to give ,t up. You can take naything else you please, for l can t help myself.” , » “ You are an honest codger, at any rate, | said the pirate ; “but if you wou,d liv ° J 1;" minutes longer, just toll me what you vo goon board, and exactly thd place wlter sight of a cocked pistol brought the old man to his senses, and in a deprecat ing tone, ho muttered: „„ k“Don’t kill me, sir, don t. 1 H toll Y9 U all. We’ve got forty thousand silver dol lars nailed up in boxes, just for are o the cabin bulkhead, but Mr. Defoe didn suspect that anybody would have thought of looking for it there.” .. “Perhaps so,” chuckled tno pirate, while his eyes chuckled with delight.

Now for it! No sooner were the last words out oi the old man’s mouth, than his sons did ex actly as they wore directed. The tore and main halyards were cut, and the two grapplings cast offal the same instant,and as tho heavy gaffs came rattling, down, our heroes leaped on board tho pirate.- Tho moment the clipper felt at liberty , her head swung off, and before tho cstonishea buccaneers could gain the deck of the fisherman, their own vessel was near halt a cablo’s length to the leward, sweeping cracefully away before tho wind, while the threo men who had been left in charge were easily secured. . . “Halloa, there 1” shouted Captain Spin net, asthe luckless pirates crowded around I tho leo gangway of their prize,, when yO them ere silver dollars, just lot us knhw, will you!” IMf a dozen pistol shots was alt the an swer tho old man got, but they did him no harm; and, crowding on sail, ho made for the vessel ho had discovered, whic a, dead to the leeward of him, and which he now made out to bo a large ship. Iho clipper cut through tho water like " dolph in, and in a short space of time Spinnet luffed up under tho ship’s stern, and ex plained all that had happened. The ship proved to bo an East Indmman, bound for I Charleston, having, all told, thirty men on board, a portion of whom at once jumped into the clipper and offered their services in helping them to take the pirates. Before dark, Captain Spinnet was once more within hailing distance of his own vessel, and raisinga trumpet to his mouth, he shouted : . , “Schooner, ahoy 1 Will you quietly sur render yourselves prisoners if we come on b °“Come and try it 1” returned the pirate captain, as he brandished hiscutlassabove his head in a very threatening manner, which seemed to indicate that ho would fight to tho last. q„,», But that was his last moment; for Beth crouched below the bulwarks, taking de liberate aim along the barrel of a heavy rifle, and as the bloody villain was in the net or turning to his men, the sharp crack of Sslh Spinnel’s weapon rang its deatn peal, and the next moment the pirate cap tain fell back into the arms of his men, with a brace of bullets through his heart. “Now,,’ said the old man, as he '® volc " along pivot gun, and seized b_ lighted match, “I’ll give you just five minutes to mako up your mind m, and if you don t surrender, I’ll blow every one of you into the other world.” Tho death of their captain, and witnai, the sight of the pointed pivot gun—thepo; culiar properties of which thev know full well—brought tho pirates to their senses, and they threw down their weapons and airrebd to give themselves up. . Sn two days from that time, Captain Spinnet delivered his cargo safely at Hav ana, gave tho pirates into the hands ofth civil authorities, and delivered the chppo up to the government, in roturn for which Z received a sum of money sufficient or independence for the remender of his h.e, as well ns a very hnndsom medal from th Governor.
