THE GOVERNESS. BT T. A. KIMBALL. "Waktkp. a Governess. Anolv at No. 22. Melville Street, Baltimore." 'Shall I iinnlv for the sitnntinn 1" mnacrl Ella St. George, ns she thoughtfully laid the newspaper, in which was the above advertise ment, upon the table; "mv lit ties tock of mo ney will soon be exhausted j I must come to i me decision quickly, and I may bo fortu nate enough to find a good home." And she fell into ft painful reverie, and thought of the happy time when she had no tare for the fu ture, wiien a kind Inther had protected her front every ill, n fond mother had gazed with pride anil ahYctinu on her, anil her brother had lovingly twined his Cugers in her golden cnrls. Tho tears started to her eves, tin ho thought "where ore they now l" From her 1 little window, she conld see the white marble tli"t headed her father's and mother's grave. Anu sue naa never hennl Iroin her brother, or seen him, since the time, five years before, when, on the evp of his departure for Austra lia, he had cut off one or the lot ks she prized so much, and pictured to her the future, and the hnppiiifss that awaited them when he should have become rich. Mrs. Allen had just settled hereeir in the library of her comfortable home, for n. quiet morning, having given orders that she should be denied to all callers, with the exception of the npplicantsforthesitiiHtinn of governess. The bervant opened tho door, und ushered in a tail, graceful girl, apparently about eigh teen. She looked very beautiful as she en tered, her auburn hair hanging in rich pro fusion, her largo bine eyes beaming with intelligence, and the purity ofher complexion enhanced by contrast with the black habit she wore. Mrs. Allen arose in some sur prise, and awaited tho object oNier visit. "Madam. 1 understand you ure in want ofu governess t" 'Ah ! yes ; pray lie seated. You saw my advertisement in the paper. I presume ?" "Yes, nmilHin." "Can you teach the nsnal branchp of an English education, with the addition of music, I lu'ian and French t" "I think eun. Madam. I am a proficient in music, hiiiI can tench singing and the rudi ments of Flench uu Italian." "Ah ! Would yon oblige me by singing.and accompanying yourself upnnthe piano forte ?" s.iid Mrs. Allen. "We will proceed to the drawing-room, if yon please," and gracefully rising, she led the war. E la seated herselfat fhe beautiful instru ment, und commenced singing, with great swe. tnes. 'The light or other days." Sirs. Allen said. "you sing sweetly: that song is a favorite with me. I think if mv terms suit yon, 1 shall like you very well.-. My daughter are of the respective ages of nine, twilve and fifteen, anil the salary I thought of giving is two hundred dollar rt yenr." Ellu accepted the sitnation. "If ynn like." resumed Mrs. Allen, "you can come :his evening. You will take yonr meal in the nursery, with the children, with the exception of dinner. Mr. Allen insists upon the children coming down todiuner; of ennrse yon will accompany them." Ella assented, and taking leave of Mrs. Allen, promised to come at sev;u o'clock in the evening. She now proceeded to the little cottage, where she had hnardedsinceher bereavement, and buie.d herself the remainder of the day in making the necessary arranuementi for her change of residence. Having completed these, and finding she had still an honr at her disposal, she strolled towards the little grave yard that contained the remains of her pa rent, and she almost wished that her strug gle in lire was over, and that she was quietly sleeping beside them. The time for her departure at last arrived: and stepping into the carriage she had ordered wm soon conveyed to the stately looking honso that was, lor tho present, to bo her home. . Mrs. Allen and two of her daughters had gone out lor the evening, and Mis Lucy, the yowiigest, was in bed. Misa St. George was informed that she was to share Miss Lucys room, snd was glad to retiro st once. Luev was sleeping, and E1U thought, a she gated upon her fair, sweet eooutenanee, that sho would not hav much troabls with her. Has tily nadrossing, she Joined her little compan ion j and fatigood with tho exertions of tho i day, she was soon in a sound slumber. The next morning, Mrs. Allen entered the school room, accompanied by her two daughters, Ellen nnd Gcnevra, whom she introduced to Miss St. George. "You have already made the acquaintance of Lucy. I preceive," she said ; "I sholl leave them entirely to your own judgment, as my time is qnite taken tip, and I hope yon will get on well together." Miss St. George hoped so, too. Twelve months glided awny hnppily.a Mr. Allen expressed himself highly gratified with the improvement of his daughters: and their mama was glad to have the responsibility off her hands. They kept very little company, and with the exception of a Mr. Stanley, a constant visitor, Ella had not seen any stran gers during her stay. Herbert Stanly was a handsome, intellec tual looking man, about thirty years of age, and possessed considerable property in the South. He had never had any chance of conversing much with Ella, as she left the room immediately after dinner, each day, with the two young Indies ; but lie was par ticularly 'utteutive to her during dinner, and evidently udmired her. "Mamma, do you not think Ella very hand some t" said Lucy one day to Mrs. Allen. "I don't kuow, child ; what makes you ask mo T" "Well. Mr. Stanley said to Po that he thought her a lovely girl that she had the grace of a fairy, and the prettiest blue eyes he had ever seen, fa sum no tnougnl so too, and so do I ; don't you think so too, mamma?" I don't know what Miss St. George is doing, to allow you to plugne me now," ex rluitited Mrs. Alien j "go up stairs, directly." We have finished our studies for this morning, mamma. lell Miss St. George to walk out with yon. then." fjla little dreamed of the storm that was brewing overhead, us she dressed to iro out. with her young charges. Lucy looked very sad, and felt afraid she had got her gentle governess Into some trouble, though she could not see why her mamma should be so ug'y. It was a lovely morning, and they walked towards the old mill, gathering the wild flow ers on their way ; Genevra playfully insisted upon dressing blla s hair with the llowers, 'just to see how they looked." she said, "us nobodv would be cominir thnt wnv to inter. rupt them." J hey were thus pleasantly occupied, Ge nevra, in making the governess look like the Uueen of Mar, and tJWn and Lucy bring ing her flowers, when they were startled by a deep toned voice, syying, "Good morning, la dies." Ella started' to her feet, and the color rushed to heMemples, as she preceived Mr Stanley, smiling at her confusion. She tried to disentangle her hair from the flowers, but Genevra bad fixed them in so well, that nei ther she nor her governess could get them but. The gentleman proffered his assistance, though he said it was a pity to take them out, they wept So becoming to her. They now be gan to thitik of returning to the house, and Mr. Stanly sniu he was going to dinrt with them, And with Miss St. George's permission, ho would accompany them home. Genevra smiled archly nl her governess, and bounded away, followed by Ellen and Lucy. Mr. Stanley and Ella entered into a pleas ant conversation, and his animated counte nance showed how much he was pleased with his fair companion. They reached the house just as the dinner bell sounded, and sho and her pupils hastily ran up stairs to arrange their dresses. After dinner, the ladies retired, as usual, and Mr. Stanley strolled into tho library, and through the door communicating with the : conservatory. He had not been there long. when bn was aroused by the sound of voices , in the lihjury, and he heard Mrs. Allen sny : "I insist upon your leaving my house this j evening. Miss St. George1 1 thought, when j I engaged you. that you were a respectable person, und not a detestable flirt." j Ella indignantly repelled the accusation. I "I tell you," exclaimed Mrs. Allen, "that your conduct towards Mr. Stanley was truly snameiiii, and lie might well say, 'that you were a disgraceful flirt !"' "Madam, I cannot believe that Mr. Stanley would say so, as be has not hud any opportu nity of judging ; nnd as to 'flirting; with him,' 1 cannot tell what you ineuu." "Never mind that. Ho said so. and re member, ynn leave my house to-night !" Ella answered haughtily, 'let it be so then,' and was about to leave the library, when Mr. Stanley entered, from the conservatory, and begged her to stay a moment. "I am sorry to have to contradict yon," he snid, addressing Mrs. Allen, "but "l think Miss Ella anything but a "flirt," and I think she is. indeed, not suitable for her present situation ; she might (ill a better one." Mrs. Allen flounced ont of the room. "Miss Ella," said Stanley, as he seated himself by her side, "will you permit me to ask a few questions, in a spirit of friendship, without attributing it to impertinence t" "Certainly." "Where do yon think of going, upon leav ing Mrs. Allen's 1" "I have not decided j my dismissal has been so perfectly unexpected." "My mother would be delighted to make your acquaintance. Miss Ella, and you would be very comfortuble with her for a few weeks. Io not let any feeling of delicacy induce you to refuse this temporary home. I am at pres ent staying at a hotel, and would feel grati fied if you would allow me to convey you to Evergreen Cottage this evenihg." Ella felt uncertain what to do. She did not like to refuse Mr. Stanley's offer, he seemed so earnest and respectful in his desire to serve, antl she finally consented to remain with hia mother for the present. Stanley said ho would come for her in an hour. Accordingly, at four o'clock (ninth to Mrs. Allen's annovunce.) a carriage drove up to the door, and Mr. Stunley alighting, in quired if Miss St. George was ready. Aud, having taken leave of her young charges, and promising to write to them, Mr. Stauley liolped her into the carriage, and they soon found themselves in tho cheerful little parlor of Evergreen Cottage, his mother's pretty residence. He tut rod need Ella, and explained the cir cumstance that had transpired at Mrs. Allen's. The old ktdy welcomed her with great cordi ality, aod assured her she would fuel happy in her company as long as she would stay with her. blie then rang the bell fur tea, and soon after, Herbert, looking at hi watch, said be bad an engagement, and must leave them but h would cull in to see them in a few day. When Ella cam down, tho next morning, sho fuuud Mr, btanlev sittiug at tha break fast table, wailing for her. "Good morning, my dear j how did JOtt weopt" "Soundly, madam. I hop I bavo not kept to waiting for breakfast." "Not at all y 4aa." Jut the tht lor. tod ntcmd with boautiful boqeot. tho rarest flowers. There was a alio of miner nt tached i "For Miss Ella, with Herbert Stan ley's compliments." "O, how very beautiful !" exclaimed Ella, now i love nowers r Mrs. Stanley smiled, and remarked that iieruerl was always fond of flowers. A week had passed away, and Herbert Stanley bad not been to his mother s cottage, but each morning he had sent a boquet for Ella. It was a fine evening, and the ladies were seated at the window, pleasantly conver sing, when a barouche drove np, and Stanley , , ... . ... oowen. ana smiieu, as ne aiignteu. "Well, ladies, how do you got on? Ah 1 Miss Ella, vou are ruininir vonr eomnlcxion by staying in the house. Will you not ride with me, this lovely evening? Come, it will do you good ;" and coming nearer to her, he said, "I have something particular to say to yon, and may not have another opportunity, as J leave lor tlie south in a lortniglit." Ella's cheeks were rosy enough, as she left the room to prepare lor the ride. Mie was soon ready t Stanley assisted her into the barouche, and waving their hands to Mrs. Stanley, were soon out of sight. For some time they rode on in silence, Ella admiring the scenery, and Herbert apparently lost in thought. At length, arousing himself, he said t "Miss Ella, I told you I should have to go South in a fortnight ; I shall probably remain two or three years ; but I cannot go, without saying how much I esteem how fondly I love you. Dear Ella, will you be my wife j the light of my southern home ? If you refuse, life will indeed be a dreary blank ;" and he looked anxiously for an answer. Ella trembled, and said : "Mr. Stanley you forget the difference of our stations in life. Your mother " "Will be delighted," he said. "Dear Ella, say at once that you will accompany mu to the South, as my darling wifu."" She was confused ; but Stanley construed her silence favorably to his wishes, and ten derly drawing her shawl more closely around her, he turned the conversation upon indiflcr- cnt subjects, und they were soon once more ut Mrs. Stanley's. They entered the parlor to gether. Herbert's countenance wus radient with happiness. Ella was going to run up stairs, but be, gently detaining her. said : "Dear mother, allow me to introduce you to my promised brido I" The old lady was very much affected, and said : "God bless you, my children 1 May you ever be happy' And now, need we say how beautiful Ella looked, in her bridal robe of pale blue satin and white lace, and the violets and lilies in her hair ; Or how proud tho handsome bride groom looked of his lovely bride ? nnd how the long lost brother returned to witness their happines8f No 1 We will leave all this to the imagination of our readers, and drop a cur tain over the happy scene.

Terrible Slaughter of the Invadere. The Toledo (Ohio) Repub licnn relates the following as having occurred, a few days ago, in that county . "A new swarm of bees came out of their paternal hive and gathered around their young queen, in the warm sunlit atmosphere. But instead of going to some neighboring tree or shrub, and forming a hanging cluster, as has invariably been the rule with all pre decessors with whom we have ever been ac quainted, they settled ou a hive and began a murderous attack upon the peoceablo in mates. '!'be unsuspecting workers were taken by surprise, and many of them were killed by the invaders before they became fully aroused, when the couflict became quito obstinate. The fact that most of tho working bees of the hive were out gathering honey, gave the new swarm all the advantage, and, though the buttle lasted all day, they finally triumphed. Thousands of dead bodies were dragged to the entrance aud thrown ou tho ground each hour." A Mixtcrs roa Washino Clothes.

Copious details ure to hand or the attack on Kcrlsch ; also, telegraphic announcements or further successes in the Sea of Azoff, where the fleets attacked and destroyed the stores at Taganrog.

Duke Constuntino is appointed Regent of Russia in the event of Alexander's decease. Tho allied fleet in the Sea of Azoff have burned the stores ut Taganrog, Mariopol and Genitchi. and a laud expeditiuu is filling out against Perekop. The Russians are said to have obtained communication with the Crimea. independent of the roud from Perekop, by constructing a bridge of boats across the SoVf sche. The Russiuus are reported to have evacu ated Anapa. i here is nothing rrom Tchernaya or the Baltic.

The latter seem determined not to let them practice this trick with impunity in tlie Baltic. Cbacrow. June 14. Tho Euiticrur of Austria arrived here yesterday. The Crimea correspondence, down to tho 4th, states the weather to be exceedingly hot. All accounts agree that there isavast utiiount of disease and despoudtney in the garrisou of Sebnslopol. SEBASTOPOL AND THE CRIMEA. From tho Loudon Times, June 14. It seems impossible that Sebnstopol can hold out much longer. Tho official despatch es from Kertch stnte that recently large con voys or grain nnd flour have been regularly despatched thence to Sebnstopol. Our rea ders ennuot have forgotten the graphic de scription given in a recent letter of our f po- cial correspondent in the camp above Scbas topol, of tho array of wagons and piles of sacks, apparently containing grain or flour, which ho could see through his glass ou the heights to the north of tne harbor. These were, there can be no doubt tho Kertch convoys: and this source, whence Sebustopol would appear to have been ex clnsivuly provisioned of late, is now cut oil'. We are not disposed to build on tlio uuau thenticated rumors which have, been flvinir about Sebastopol, of despatches captured nt Kertch winch contain most lumeiitable ac counts of the ravages of disease among thu garrison of bebastopol. iiut these are two passages m the communication or our specie! correspondent, which wo publish le-duy, that are pregnant with meaning. Ou the 26lh ult he writes : l lie itussians nave noon nnrying an unu sual number of dead on the north sole the lust few days. These b:trial plares on thatsidu of the harbor aro expo.ul to our view, and with a good glass, not only thn recent graves can bo distinguished, but also the pin-ties nt work, excavating; or performing tho last writes ot sepulture." On the Mill ho again remarks : "Tho Russians are still observed to bo very bnsy about the grave yards, on the north sid'u of the harbor." . At the highest of tho threo grave-fields for tho term "grave yards is hardly tippro priale, as tney are not enclosed us many as seven curts were observed to be standing at one time to-duy. Several parlies also have been noticed making fresh graves.' These interments are not of tho soldiers who I ave fallen in battle, fur they aro nui. formly buried whore they rail." Our correspondent, thtrerore, naturally concludes that thu numerous dead carried cut to the "grave-fields" ou tha north orSebnsto. pol have been, to a great extent, ihu victims of disease. It is beyond dispute, then, that the garrison are being ussailed by sickness and famine from within, at the same time that they are being pressed by their human enemies from without. Aud this pressure fr m without must uow be sensibly felt. After tho rapture of the Mamelon, and the works extending from it to uureenin Uav. that part of Sebastopol which is situated on tha east side of the military harbor, cannot be much long' r tenable. Its capture will du- prive the Russians of their ureeuiils and prin cipal barracks; and what is scarcely of 1,-ss importance, it will leave the ships, which still remain in the iulot of Sebastopol, denuded of all slrclier Tront the shots and shells or the Allies. Already Sebastopol totters to its ... . ..- . . i fall. Nor Is tne pos lion ot i'io jtussinn Crimean army in tho field much more secure. A simultaneous advance of tho Allies from Eupatoria anh Kertch would compel it to concentrate itself upon Sebastopol ; and for this force to be cooped up iulhesouthwestern part of the Crimea is to bn exposed to the same famine that is already telling so fear fully on tho garrison of Sevastopol. The Crimea is lost to Russia Nor is the full measure of the humiliation to which tho Muscovite govornma t I a al ready been suhiected. Tin) occupation vt the Sea of Azoff by tho flotill , and ti e evoe uation of Anapa by th H issiuns, bus re established the independence of Circassia. Threatened by tho warllk monntaineer in . .

Should Rnesia sue ot this moment for peace, it would be mildness to restore any teftito:y south of this line to her. Sebustopol, a Bri tish Minister has declared, is astun n g in uce to Constantinople as long as its fortifica tions Are not razed. But if Russia is allowed to retain the Crimen, whnt gnamnteo can Europe liiive that these fortifications will not be recon structed, even though they should be razed at present? Again, it has lieen admitted from the beginnin!.'. that hnd Russia been allowed to extend its conquests over all tho shores of the ftuxuie. that sen, enclave wit lun mission territory, must of necessity have become a Russian lake. The sumo holds good of the Sea of Azoff. To prevent it from remaining a mere Russian lake, it is necessary that some other independent community, or communi ties, possess a portion of its shores. On these grounds we maintain thnt even ut this moment in the present position of affairs peace ought only to be granted to Russia on the condition that Blie relinquishes all claims to the 'rimea and to the lands between tho Black Sea and thu Caspian, south of the lino or the lower don. But Russia will not sue lor peace yet. It is true that her mercantile claeses begin to be severely pinched ; it is true that the numerous section of nobles who regard Moscow ns their centre and capital, and stand aloff from active life, are becoming mutinous ; but the official cluss, civil nnd mil itary, in Ahosc bads nil real power is vested, t uiinot afiord to lose any of their foreign con quests. One snd all or them are deep in debt, and depend upon employment for their ubsistence. They can only obtain the meaus or indulging those luxurious habits which have become second nature to them, by draining the tributury province of their substance, as was the case with the courtiers of Imperial Romo in itsdecadelicc. Inveterate gamblers, they ure ever ready to stake nil on tho huz urd of a die, and they will peril the existence of the Empire rather than relinquish their emoluments. Russia would nt this moment reject peace, ir afforded on the terms we have indicated ; und Russia will hereafter, like Tarquin, have to purchase a worse bargaiu at a higher price. FRANCE.

Tho frequent bu rials wich are continuing to bo mudo in the cenietiries on the north side, confirm tho in funnatiuii on this subject. lnrorniHtion is said to have been obtained that the Russians have secured a communica tion w.th the Crimea, independent of the roud traversing the Isthmus of Perekop, by meuns or a line of bouts across tho Sovesche.

A young mnn who lefllhisclfy about seven years ago, to engage in the pastorinl pursuits of Australia, was, like thousands more soon out. nuuucnij nuracien oy me gold fever and proceeded to the diggings, where he was rather successful, and he soon afterwards for-' warded the moans for three or his brothers to join him in his senrch for gold. Having er. fected that fraternal partnership, ho opened a store, and began to think of a former "Hume" thnt had wormed his heort in Old England, but which had never been fanned by him or attended to during his long ab sence, lie selected his choicest nuggets' and forwarded a bng worth 50 to England', 'for the young lady and her brother to come and join him in thu goldfields. Thetcmpting treasure reached her hands, but her heart was engaged to nnother, who hod gone ont to America on a voyngo of discovery, and had not written to her for nearly twelve months. In this dilemma of doubt siio pondered, and her brother pleaded. At length the brother selected a sweetheart to accompany him, on j the party of three persons mgaged their berths, paid their fare, and forwarded their luggnge to tho seaport, from which they were to embark for the southern hemisphere"; but before the bride stepped on board.herAmeri. can lover suddenly appeared nnd detained her, till tho vessel had sailed without her her fare paid, luggage gone, and friend-, too ! But "the course of true love neve? did run smooth," and so she nt length consented to be married to the present lover, on tho ground probably that "a bird in tho hand is worth two in the bush ;" but the absent one,, finding she was not invoiced to him with the rest of tho cargo, instantly took ship nnd start ed for England. After a pleasant voyage of three months, he reached thu abode of Ins ficklo fair one. A few hours of powerful pleading subdued the heart of tho inconstant one, and the gold digger at once proceeded to buy tho licenso and tho ring, and the marriage ceremony wus performed before tho other confiding suitor could bo acquainted with the tact, me happy poir are now waiting lor a vessel to convey them to their far-off" home ; the bridegroom intending to purchase, in honor as a wedding present to his wife, tt handsome revolver, for the safety of herself and home, orstoro intent.
