STORY In the mouth of June 1852, the ship Fame, Cap tain Jones, arrived at New York, trom Laudon; and moored at one of the (locks in the North Riv. er. Her commander, George Jones, whom I will pass over lightly was an Rigli4imaii, rough, on• tutored and boorish ; yet he was a ;borough bred seamam'at.tl a perfectly tit ing man to command the hardy crew under him. The chief mate, Charles tarton, the hero of the present sketch, was the only and cherished son of a wealthy planter in one of our slave.holding States, then deceased. lle ha 4 been educated in the most I lberal and expensive manner by his lather, who spared neither pains nor expense to perfect him in everything he wished to acquire. At an early age, Charles acquired--unfortunately, his father thought —a pasion for the sea, which grew with his growth and strengthened with his strength ; unul it became absolutely too strong for contiol. and he determin ed to indidge ircou(cyai covie. He was of a no ble, high spirited nature very handsome for a man. brave and generous to a fault, arid withal his whole existence was made up of romance. He was nev er happy, never contented except when he was en gaged in some enterprise in which he could call forth sad exercise to the full extent all his powers and energies. lie disappeared soddenly from college and alter waadering around'the world for three or four years, while his lather and friends mourned his death, re. turned to his nativo land in lime to obtain his for givenest and to take possession of hii estate and fortunis, to the great disappointment of about fifty cousins. His passion for the sea, however,did not leave him; and having received the offer of the berth al chief mate of the Fame, he lett his affairs in the hands of a trusty agent, and again went to sea, and as such we now find him in this port. The vessel had been in Jour or Lye days, and tie cargo was nearly discharged. it was a warm, sultry day, and the men who had been at work all the morning, were at their dinner in the forecastle, Captain Jones was walking backward and forward on the quarter deck, smoking, and Charles was seated aft without his coat, apparently in deep thought, hie eyes filed on the deck. " Is the captain on board ?'' enquired a soft, me lodious voice, which caused Captain `Jones to stop suddenly, and Aurn round to gaze on the quartet, aroused, and for a moment was utterly paralyzed. The person who had asked the question, yet on answered was a girl apparently about eighteen, handsomely clad ; but of a beauty and loveliness, that baffles my - powers of description. Her hat, which was small, bat half concealed the finest head of glossy jet black bait in the world, which played in wavy ringlets over a neck and sbooklers of sur prising Whiteness and beinity. Her forehead was high, white and smooth as Pariah marble. Her eyes were large and dark and they shot forth an expression which could not or cannot be described by me. It was so wild, so singular, so beseeching Set so appealing, that one could not look upon her or them, without feeling an emotion of pity and alr most reverence. " lathe captain on board ?" repeated the young laly, as the captain and his officer in silence least ea their eyes upon her charms. " Yes, ma'am," bluntly and halt rudely replied Captain lanes, puffing his cigar, and walkingeloaii to her, with a lewd, loose sir. They ,call we captain, for the want of a better." ~ Will you marry me, sir !" inquired the young CM " Well, I'm d—d it that ain't a good one. Mar• ry you! Why, my' dear, 1 have a wile in Liver pool now, and I don't know bow many children, so I can't marry You ,tor good, but I have no kind of objecaon to marry you while fetay here" ___ ._ a~ _____ . . ~.• . - . „:: , ,-,1 4.: • ;-, ~ 4.',: f'...071. ni...--- -. :•, 1 • I:. wa,-. ts • ... .. t, 1.... !,..,,..f T• , ....: 7-777.1).5,7. . am+ •' . ... 0 t • • f..ri ••` - i ,1 ll j. :, ; • \ 33 •••.. 4 i•t ..' .

The protid lip of the fair girl aided with proud scorn, and her bright eyes flashed with redoubled brilliancy, as she gazed for one single instant upon the rude boor. She curbed her leelihs however, and turned from him With an expression on her bright, beautitul face that made him puff his cigar with redoubled fervor,, and to hide his shame he retired to the cabin. She ►nmed to Charles, He was standing near her, his bright intelligent eyes fixed intently upon her. She saw he was no second Charles Janes. ca Will you marry me, sir 7" she asked with a firm, steady voice, but downcast eyes. The'sound 01 her voice - *raised him from the statute-like posture he had fallen into on first seeing her. He paused—he gazed upon the lovely being who stood before him preferring this singular re quest, but his bps refused tolutter a - word. " Must Igo farther, Or will you marry me 0 God ! is there no hope ! and the to y buried her lace in har hands end sobbed. Charles felt he was himself at once: ' He telt his spirit of gallantry and romance rising-strong within hrm. A thousand ill defined thoughts rushed thro' his mind, but he felt that he was a man, ands► lovely young woman was before him— perhaps— before he had time to form another opinion, the'la dy half turned to leave the vessel. "Stop, lady. Your request is very singular— very. Let me ask you one question. Are you in clistress?" " Distress! 0, God ! do not deem me crazed. Indeed, sir, I am not. Think nothing now, but an swer—will you marry me?'' " Whoever you are, or whatever you may be, I know not. Can I not serve you in any other man ner? Perhaps you may repent of a resolution form•' ed—" Talk not to me of repenting, sir, and do not waste any time. Now it is precious. You can only serve me by marrying me .Will you do so ?" " By heaven 4 . 1 writ Charles enthn Plastically. _" There Is that about you that tells me 1, at least, shall never rue it. lam rokly. Wait but a moment" Charles went into the cabin and put on his kick et, which he had taken oft while working, and in a moment he was by her side. " Come, then lady. 11' hoevev you may be, I will abide the result." He toe+ her on shore, and placed her in a coutit which waa standing near, and drove off to a tienti's house. He was shown into a Nosh. The door was locked, and the young lady threw herself into. a chair. She did not weep or eob, nor did she appear to be in !ha feast affected by the :Levelly - of her situa tion. '' Sir," she said, rlsrng , " whoever you are, can trust you You are no common sailor, nor am I what I seem. I have now no time to waste in words, I will explain ail in a few hours. Trust me, believe me, serve me. and you shall never re. pent it. What is to be done must be done at once. I have but a few hours to spare, and it I am die covered before they expire, I shall be wretched in deed. Here, sir, is money. Go and purchase all you wi, h.

Best here until I return.— You are safe'in this house, and. will return in a few moments. Do not be alarmed:' Charles went out and left her alone. He went to a fashionable tailor's in Broadway, and in ten minutes he was changed from a rough, and dirty. looking irailoyo a fine, manly, handsome fellow, and his dress set oil to advantage his fine figure.-- Hereturned instantly to the lady, and when he en tered the'roorn where he had lefl her, he found her walking back Ward and forward, but not in the learn agitated. She had evidently steeled herself to .the worst, and was prepared for anything.: "My name, air, is Ellen Moran. Let that sof. fice for the present. Are you ready V' Said.she said firmly, without betraying any emotion. " I am lady " They went again into the carriage and drove to the mayoes, and in a few momenta were made man and wile. When they left the mayor's house, Mrs. Barton gage orders to the enachman hetself, but. in a voice whose tones were not heard by her husband.' " Will you return with me?" inquired Mr. Bar ton, as his wile entered the coach. " No, sir. We are going to your house, where your presence, be required." Mr. Barton ` looked very steadily at his wile for , a moment as she uttered these words, and for the first time began to think that he bad entered upon a very silly scrape. The idea even entered his head that she might be a little t z_ v_it_tal aloft, and it did not make him fiery comfortable.. The door was cloud andthe coach was off. Not a word was spoken on either side during the whhle drive, which Was very long—at least it seemed so to him —Charles was intently thinking upon ,his conduct, and was hall inelitted to regret his rash ness, but one glance at his sweet, new roamed wile settled that point. The carriage stopped at the door of a house of elegant exterior, in one of the most fashionable streets to the city. He alighted first, and handed out his wile in silence. They ascended the steps end she rang the bell. The door was opened by a servantin handsome livery. 4 tlir my uncle at home, yet V' "i ____ No, Miss, he is not," replied the maarespect. fully bowing. Mr. Barton cast a furtive glance around him 4 .• Everything was arranged in the most recherche style, and with the most lavishe.d eapense.

I • Barton, rawly at a loss to account for the singular conduct of his wife. "Trost me, sir--try me—believe me. I will tell you now all I can—all I have the time to tell. Four years agO my father, one of the wealthiest merohanta in the city, died and left me all his prop. erty. My uncle, who will soon be here, was made my guardian should marry, and he had charge of the estate left by 'my father until that should occur. As he bad nothing of his own to support himself, he has kept me secluded from the world, Tend in confinement almost closely, since my poor lather's death, well knowing that on my mar riage the property would pus from his hands. His conduct at times has been harsh and cruel,and par ticularly of late. To-day, I found means to escape from the house unseen. The rest you know." She then arose and rang the bell. A servant came to the door. "John," said she, "send every servant in the house up here." Mr. Barton sat perfectly still and said nothing, but was mentally resolving how to act, and was more than hall inclined to think hie wife t lunatic. The servants came up and stood in the parlor await- . ing orders. " Mr. Barton," said his wife, "these are your servants. Everything you see around you was mine—all is yours. Von hear me," addressing the servants, " this gentleman is my husband and your master. Obey him as such. And, now, sir, all I have to request is, that you will assume and main tain your rights." Farther she could not say, for this parlor door was suddenly and violently thrown open, and an elderly, hard leatured, coarse looking Man entered and stood for a moment gazing. alternately at the lady and Mr. Barton. What is your business here ?" demanded he austerely of Mr. Garton, who as he entered had seated himself, and returnedlook for look. Mr. Barton made no reply.

As Moran retired, she arose, and placing her hand in het husband's and looking SIMI in his face with an imploring, confiding look said, " May I prove worthy -of your love, and may you never repent your marriage, hasty as it was." M. Barton pressed his lovely wife to his bosom, and before he cpuld utter a word is reply the re port of a pistol was heard. Ellen turned pale as marble. Charles seated her on the sofa, and, say ing that the rascal had been doing mischief, rushed out of the room but Ellen arose and followed:— They went to the room of Mr. Moran whence the sound issued, and on entering he was found lying on the floor, dead, oils side of his head was blown entirely oft, and the room strewed with his brains and blood.

On the Wheat Ely, By IL Rowell, of Nichols, Tioga Coviay, N. I The fly first made its appearance in Nichols, Tioga county, New Yotk, in the summer of 1850, and has increased yearly since. It is the insect that is generally known by the name IV weevil thronghnut the country. The weevil is a bug of a very smell size, and only infests pain in the bin, whereas the wheat fly infests it while growing.— [t is undoubtedly of the mosquito tribe, being in shape the same, and one third less in size, of an orange color, with dark-colored wings. It depsits its eggs undoubtedly soon aftel this wheat is in bloom, for I have found about the 25 . h of July, when out to examine the wheat, the flies very no merous, hovering around among the grain, and de: positing eggs; but the majority of them had to all appearance, been deposited some ten cie twelve dtaya. The egg or larva, when full grown, is about the eighth or tenth of an inch in length, and of the thickness of a sewing thread, of a bright orange crater, with scarcely any motion The fly ilepnsits its eggs very nemerously, from six to eight around each grain. Where these is but one egg to a grain, it can'do but little damage, often making a slight indenture on the sae of the grain. I found grain in all stages of imperfection; some with large di dentures on one side and large protuberance.sQn the other, while they were twisted into all manners of shape, or shrivelled and destroyed Generally three or tour of this insect to each gr'ain in a head of wheal destroys the whole. By the urne the wheat is harvested„ hardly any of the larva are toned, end fte9uently ten or fifteen days before liar vest they have nearly disappeared. A majority of the wheat fields in the vicinity whete this damag ed grain exists, are themselved infected, but that only from the border of the &eh' towards the in terior for a space of nearly thirty feet. In the northern part of Tioga county, I learn that their re. vages prevail to a much greater extent than in this vicinity. The common yellov bird feeds on the larva learn that the insect doeS tint trouble the 'Mediter ranean wheat, but that the Poland and other vatic ties do not escape. In concludiug my brief paper allow me to ew.l gest that the practical importance of th:s -111 , j• would seem to demand that those memtiers 01 this association who reside in all portions of o.nr nation should endeavor to ascertain when this insect ap pears and disappears, and what is the extern of its ravages to their respective districts.

At the festival held periodically in all the principal German towns, les judgment was appealed to, and indeed no meeting of the kind was donsideled compf;re if he, by chance, was absent. It may, : therefore, naturally be inferred that his daughter had been early instructed in the elements of the art: and at nineteen she Was a pianist of consider. able attainments. These circumstances formed t'te bolsi of a desire which bezame stronger with years, and which coufirmed a resolve that she eboold wed one of the most accomplished musi clans of the age.
