Forty years ago, the bark Mary Burton, having shipped iitr cargo in New York, set sail with a favorable breeze for Liverpool. The dangers of the channel Jx igg n#st. the pilot left ; and the captain, whofcArl hith erto only paced the deck to aee that the pilot's orders tvere promptly obeyed, re- j sumed the command. Captain' Powell was a bachelor, in his best rears of slender, but sinewy frame,' with brown early hair and blue eyes; a Scotchman by birth, and a smart sailor. He had sailed about all his life on the dif ferent seas of the globe, till at last he had settled down on the packet line between New York and Liverpool. Crowded as the packet ships were oo the voyage to America, they brought back but few to the old country, aud on tbu occasion the Mary Burton carried only six pawengers. Among these were Mm. Ellis and Miss Ellis—a mother and daughter. They were not unknown to Captain Powell- He had made their acquaintance in New Yoik; being intimate with part of their family. He and Miss Elks had fre quently met at her uncle's house, Where he became passionately attached to her, and proposed marriage." She, who had never, encouraged him—in faet, had! pot known the nature of his liking for her—fct once re jected him, candidly telling bim that she was already engaged to another gentleman. So Captain Powell retired witJnf hjmeelf. and said no more. Mrs. lllis, perhaps naturally, chose to go to England by the Mary Burton, as she knew (and liked) Captain Powell, rather than take ship with a stranger. He was' TTTFT" ' CENTRE HALL REPORTER, FRED.

The tirsi ttvo days the ladies nevtr ap pea red a: all, not even at meals—as is usual with those unaocxastomcd to the sea. The weather was wry rough. OH the third day the sea was cabinet, and though there was still asliffbceete,they succeeded iti getting on dock. | "Well done, Mrs. Klli*,"**id the captain, hastening to meet them. You are right to oume up and get some fresh air. It is splendid weather, and it this hrtvve holds, I hope to see you. safe and sound, ashore ill Liverpool in fourteen days.

For her daugh tor, irstead of answering, turnesl abruptly away, ami became aWrbesi iti watching the gulls. After this, though the weather was still pls-asant," hc did not make her aiqiearatice fsw two days. Mrs. Ellis had a headache, it wars said, aud lux-sled rest. The thirsj day the young lady came up again; and , the deck hapneued to be clear of all save the master ami stos'r-niau. Captain Pow ell went ts> her, aud Leh! out his hand, reprviaoh pervading every tone sf his voice.

"Are you going to make the voyage across in ys>ur stateroom ?" asked the cap tain, iu a low tone. "I was thinking how many happy hours we should spend togeth er on deck here." "There is still a long voyage before us," replied she, evidently ill at ease. "But how soon w ill the days pass! ami • who can tell bow long we shall have this pleasant weather ?

You do not know " He broke opt suddenly, and Kate looked at turn iu terror, with so strangely riolent aud hoarse a voice were the last words spoken. His i appcmhutcv. also, was altered ; his fcce was deathly pale; his eves had turned red, as If they were bloclshot. As (hooch he liißHs'tl wore aware of tht% h turned from h atmiptly an i walked to the other side of the dock. The young girl no longer felt safe with , this strange man ; hts behavior struck her with a chill, hardly to be accounted for. Trembling from head to foot, she went below to her mother. "What is the matter, child 7" cried Mrs. Ellri in fright. "How pale you are! Can't you bear the rolling of the ship yet ?" "Oh, mother!" <ighed Kate, "it is uot that. I wish you had granted iny request, and waited lor another vessel. I was so afraid of this." "Foolish child! another would have rolled just as much as this." t "It is not that, 1 say, mot hen, You know that in New York—you know what parsed. That Captain Powell prujmsed to me." "And very good taste of him, too," re turned Mr<. Ellis, complacently looking at her pretty daughter. "What of that i Yon told hhn that you were er gaged; and there the matter ended." "Yes, that ought to have ended it. I thought it did. But his behavior seem* so strange to-day that I am afraid of hiin. Never leave me alone on deck, mother; ' mind that. The voyage will be over some time." "VYhat nonsense!" exclaimed Mrs. Ellis. •I'aptain Powell i a gentleman: and if he is pleased with your pretty lace, that is nothing uncommon. He has shown his good feeling towards ua." '•And placet! as under an obligation to him." "Stuff!" returned Mrs. Ell'i*. ' Itruakea him happy to know we are comfortable, and that is all the thanks he wants. Be side*. we are not the only namer gere." Kate Ellis answered nothing, but as *he looked dreamily out of the port-hole, the linage of the pale, excited man, with his glowing eyes, was atill before her, and ahe t could not banish it. From this time she kept close by her mother. Changes came in the weather. A day or two of calm was succeeded by a gale. 'Fiercer and fiercer grew the storm, until the bark was compelled to Fie-to. During this period the two ladie* remained in their roomy cabin, and the captain kept hi* post on deck, defended from the rain by his macintosh and aou'-wester. The first mate honied himself watching the steady fall of the barometer, and the sailora, now alto j get her free from work, collected to smoke on the spars under lee of the longboat. They were talking In an undertone about : the captain. His conduct had excited their attention, and wa* puzzling them. "Well, I can't think what it i* he has got in the wind," observed the sailmaker. "Hai* (pate a different man since the last i voyage." "He ha* no rent," said another. "Day and night he's on deck, always pacing up 1 and down, as if he were jaid by the mile. And he eats no more than a bird—only ! keep* to hi* grog." "Well, we may take wine comfort in that," cried another. "That'* alway* a ! good sign." ••I think," aaid the sailmaker, "he is vexed that be gave up hi* room to the women. He feels now like a lubberly pas- I nenger." '•Taint that; I've knowed biro to do it j afore," cried the boatswain, who had leeu a good while iu the ship. ' The skipper , were always polite to'ard the ladie*." "Weil, auy way, he ha* got summat Jueer on him," returffed the sailmaker. nd this was the conclusion arrived at by I all the men. The calm gave place again to storm, ne cessitating constant attention to the ship. After a three 'lays' severe gale the weather cleared, and the captain went below for ! rest. When he appeared tjgam lie wa* ! very stem aud silent, speaking to none, j The wind went round to the aouthweat, so a* to be dead ahead, and the vessel had to ! take a northerly course. But even the passengers could not help noticing that the captain was more changed trom day to day. His face had assumed an unnatural whiteness, hi* eye* shone i with peculiar tire, and yet a rpugh word never crossed his lip*. Kate Ellis herself had loet her fear of him, and felt grieved that she had done him injustice. She row 1 often came on deck alone, either to read or to watch the changeful play of the waves. ; lie seldom spoke to her, and then only on ' indifferent subjects ; but even on these j occasions he usually broke off suddenly and went below, as though he were doing violence to himself in speaking at all. It should have been mentioned that at this time the chief mate was sick. A vio lent fever seized him immediately after the ' close of the three days' gale, and be had I been confined to bis" Irortb sinte. The caprain and second mate shared the watches ; between them. The Mary Burton, detained by the bad | weather, had already beep twenty -one days at sea; the passengers were beginning to zet impatient, and wanted much to know of their whereabouts. But to in quiries on this point, the second mate, a young inexperienced seaman, could not give them an answer, amlUicrairtainapjiairntly would not. There w** onlv one expedient.

There- was something very stramre about him; Kate could but see it. In half au hour, during which time he had brooded over hi* chart, lie was on deck again and gave orders to set the top-gallaut sails. Thia wa* soon done. But the Mary Burton conld not keep the same course with her upper rails set. She now stood exactly uorth-nortb-east. Some of the |s*eng!-r* noticed the change, and supprocd that it indicated that the captain, having been driven too much to the south, was aMr.it to take the chaa nel round the north instead of thr cban ; nel south of Ireland. This hypothesis caused great joy among the passenger*, and several bottles ot wine were brought from private stores to celebrate the occa sion. But the commander was gloomier than lieforv. and would take no part in the conviviality. The second mate shook his head over this new course ; it wa* not at all clear to him. But he wa* an ignorant fellow, a* was already said, and careless a* well. The chief mate remained very ill. As the days went on, the wind tieeainc more and more favorable.

One night he noticed the polar star higher in the heavens than he had ever seen it he fore. The nights also began t >!*• extremely cold. They must Maro already gone far north. The matter began to look auspic ious. He did not understand the captain; but it was time that something should he done. The next day when it was the captain's watch on deck, he went stealthily to the mate's berth. The chief officer had now recovered consciousness, and the fever wa* gone ; but he wa* very weak. "A won! in confidence, Mr. Mate," began the American. "Do you know in what latitude we are 7" "No; I've lost my reckoning," was the feeble answer. "How's her head 7" "North-north-east, yard* almost squared, and studding sails to leeward." "Then wc must be sailing along the Irish coast, and through the North Chan nel" "But this is the eleventh day we have kept this course." "The eleventh day !" cried the astonished sailor, excitement enabling him to leap out of bis berth. "There is something wrong with the captain; I'm sure of it," whispered the passenger, anxiously. "Take no notice. Be on deck at noon, and aee that you get an observation."

It ia a serious thing to inter fere with the commander of a trawl. The wind went round more to the south, but the Irork held the nine course, now with studding-sails on both aides. The crew were getting dissatisfied. They had no nfcjecioms to a long voyage ; it increased their pay ; Uit they had no desire for a trip to the Arctic region* without suitable clothing, er apparatus for taking seal*. Oner more the mate entreated the captain to put the ship about; but the latter threatened to order him into irons. The pOMW-ugcr* became seriously alarmed.. A aiispicton came upon them for the first time, that Captain Lowell was insane. A deputation weut to the first officer, ami delivered over to him the charge of the vessel. Mr. Metaam went on deck, and assured himself that the time for artion had come. He ordered the crew aft, and inquired if they were willing to obey him.

He felt con vinced of his madness. 4- I did sir—without troubling you— There were icebergs ahead and we hare nothing to do in sixty-nine degrees north latitude." Thia brought the climax. "Rebellion ! Mutiny!" biased the poor madman; and drawing a p-stol frem his pocket, fired it off. The mate felt a ahaq jroin in his side, and Captain Powell was overpowered. Fortunately the wound was not a serious one, and Mr. Metaam was able to take full charge ol the ship. Their jiosition was near the orast ot (iiccnland. Cantain Lowell bad steered direct for the Polar Seas. The next day a strong northwest wind set in, which drove the ioebeftts to the south. But the g<*d ship ran before the wind; and nine days later they sighted the Faroe Islands. From thia point they had a long voyage, and were detained by a vio lent storm on the Scotch coast. Finally, after a run of sixty-two day* in all, provisiofp and water all gone, they reached Liverpool in safety, where the ship had boen given up for lost. Miss Ellis found her lover, shortly to lie her husband, waiting for her; and all on hoard were thankml to have come off no worse. ("sprain Powell never recovered his sani ty. His passionate love for tho young lady, combined with his rejection, acting on a not well-balanced mind, had indeed driven liim mad. He died in an asylum not long afterwards. And when the good ship sailed out of port again, Mr. Metaam was in command.

It is a harrowing sight to behold the convoys of prisoner* which arrive here every day in increasing uumlier*. We had of lute lieeu accustomed to see uiiioug the prisoner* brought iu liere'iueii with traveling-bug*, evidently rafngwaa froin the accursed city, fh-eing frem the rigors of the Commune. Many were very well dressed, some gloved, and even wearing decorations. These were brought iu with other primmer*, but after a preliminary examination they were kept separate, and if their identity wo* sunlehmtlv established, they were ret ot liberty. We Ual yesterday alnjut 100 aromeu brought wbo had M-en captured at Iturrietwle* or fighting with the Com munist battalions. 1 *aw about to of them* laiNsiug along the Avenue d<- Pari* who were lieing oonveyetl to the House of Correction ; some ware placed togeth er iu an artillery wagon, other* were on foot, walking between two line* of gen darme*. It was a very sad sight. Some of them were old woiueu, but niot of them were under ikl, aud two or three could uot have la-eu 1H years old. Some seven or eight were dressed a*/*/ <-rra, and wore upon their heads either a little hat with feathers or a dilst-colored Dpi. Those who had retained the attire of their own sex had no ther lu ad-cover mg Ilutn their own hair. Their arrival at Versailles excited great curiosity. Au immenm- crowil coUetUed to look at these ' •***wMf-nsrjt, some of whom were said to have assisted iu dim-hargiug uutrail leuse*. They were received with insnlt iug laughter, and jest* in aorry,taste, (H-caaiouallv even witii riliahl insults. The female sjHS-tatnra, fwpccially, were very furious agaiust tiiese unhappy creature*, and I saw on 1 - who. in spite of the escort, kma-ked off with her pare*ol the military cap which a cri/i*i-re was wearing. The hitter looked towanl her uNsailant aud wept. On all hands fin ery was raised, "Off with the cap* !*' One tall young',woman, rather g*d-l*k --iug, wearing the vest and military head gear, persisted in remaining covered A woman stopped forward to enforce com pliance, when one of the escort, too readily yielding to the injunction* of the crowd, rudely placed hi* hand IIJHIU the girl's head, and, seizing her hair with the cap. compelled her to beud down her head.

I noticed that theri- wrr" many old men among the prisoner*. Frieiwls nc counted for this by explaining that the greybeards of the Pari* ateliers took up arms to stimulate the young rneu.

To show tin- bitL-rne** of ••eling among military men at VersaiUe*, I may mention Jhat when one of four field iifficr* in conversation expreooed a wish to see the prisouor* liandeo over for the benefit of science to the professors of risiaection. the other three applauded the idea. While talking, a voting oftiecr entered the cafe to refresh himself with a glass of Ixs-r. He was iu commaud of a convoy of prisoner* going to Satory, and aaid he had ridded his country of some of the scoundrel*. One from fatigue, one frem weokueoa, and two who were sulky had sat down on a tnuik. He ordercl them to get up directly if they did not want to la- allot '"Shoot us." replied one of the prisoner*. " I will take yon at your wonL my good fellow." tin- captain answered, 44 and I sliall con sider those who do not get up din<ctly b< be of the same mind aa von.'' No one moved. The firiug jrorty was quickly told off, and the four men were corpse* iu an instant. The eajitain wan highly commended hy hi* brother officer* for his firmness, and when be had gone all fell to praising liim.

Some who had shown themselves restive, were hand eufii-d. One luul a child strung on her LAA-k. The arm of another VIM iu a sling. The habit-shirt of ax other prettv brunette was covered with fresh blood. Another Amazon was wounded. They all allowed symptoms of fatigue, but still wore n defiant air. and did not seem to la-long to the class with which the Magdalen asylums are jioopled. All were not young : indeed, matrons were more numerous than maidens in this lnd of female warrior*. They were foretsl to walk at a quirk |NUV under the broiling sun, bv at roop of lnounbsl gen darme*. Their advent in the street* of Versailles was the rnnse of much north among the people.

A woman nish*d from the crowd with a scream, and, clinging to one of them announced herself his sis ter.

Wlu-n Colorado was first settled, a wild {sitato wa* found growing iu abund ance upon tin- earti-rn mountain slope, which was nearly always iufosbsl by tin larva- of a s|H-eica of Is-ctic, know n in natural history a* the il-trifftKorn dt>ym limwltt, and soon afterwards recognized hy the early settlers and farmers as their sworn enemy, the Colorado potato bug. The destroyer is not formidable by it* size.

But its tiuuiWrs. and tiie pertinacity with whieb it travels onwards, are the sources of danger, no less than its marvelous fecundity and extreme ferocity, for it will gobbb- up a whole potato field in less than no time, a* many Western growers of the king of vegetables are- iu a ]Ninitiou to tvrtify. In I*G2 if fit*' made its np|K-aranee in YVirovmsin, and five years later, in 18(17, it reached Indiana, and there eos.itnenocd it*doprc datioiis in the northern jiart of that State. A year subsequently, in INtW, it was found also in Southern Illinois, iiud is now " moving on" towards the Atlan tic seaboard, with it* front forming an irregular line, extending from the north western herders of Ohio to places south of IndiniinjMditi. Unless something hap peiis to turn oft it* nuire-h it- another direction, or else destroy it, it will reach toe coast in the course of some seven or i-ight years at the most, in which case it will annihilate, or seriously limit, the culture of the potato throughout the Northern and Ea*tirn States. The fear ful ravages of this insect are eamraitted while it is yet in the form of the larva-, which is hatched out of the egg while the |Hit*to plant is young and tender. The eggs are deposited in groups of twenty or thirty on the lower side of the leaf, mid the last brood of each season, n* soon a* they reaeh the proper state and development, hide ill the ground until the following spring, when they again crawl out, ready to begin their depreshitioua ujxtn the ucw crop with a will. Many remedies have lieen suggest ed and tried to conquer this fiend, but so far, it would seeiu, without success. Rome fanners assert thnt sprinkling com mon sawdust upon the potato vines i* an effectual remedy, but experiments have faihd to prove it* efficacy. Others use Paris green, and others, again, huut tliem up amoug the potato fields and fight them single-handed. 44 Ixxik out sharp for tho eggs," says one Western veteran farmer, 44 and hook 'em when yon see 'em. Ensnare a lot of the crit ters, afore they get a chance to pair, into a few small neaps of potatoes, dis tributed in the field for that pur|x>se, and squelch 'em when you have got 'em, without pity." This is good enough advice, but we doubt if it will atop the onward march of the jsitato bug; and, with all other lovers of the delicious and wholesome farinaceous tulier, we can only hope that something will turn up that shall hav the effect of checking the propagation of this voracious iusect.

A correspondent of thw SaXmvdiM Magwxine av* : •• In the ewriy part of last spring, I called on a cottager, a poor neighbor, who I heard waa ill. I found him sitting by hia fire with a spaniel and her puppy, aw week# or two month* old, and a oak and a half grown kitten. The dog got up to greet me. for we are old acquaintance* and good friend*, when from under her ran seven young dncka a few day* old. The woman of the house told me that they had been hatched under a hen which would not take care of them, and that ahe bad brought them into the house to keep them warm. The spaniel immediately took to them, and whenever ahe came in and lay down by the fire, the duck* ran to her and nestled among her long hair. I asked her bow tha cat agreed with tbem. to which ahe replied that ' Busy' (such the spaniel's name) would not suffer any thing to come near them; and 1 had proof of thia. for her own puppy went up clone to oue of them as though to play with it, when she snapped at him and drove him awwy. One of the dnak* soon died, having, apparently, something wrong in it* head, but the other rix throve nuder 4 Busy's' care, and are now flue dncka fit for table.
