A Grrex 'Ux's Exerrizmor or a Tuxxzt.-On entering the <cars they ware so full that we could not get seats together; but I got him a seat in the forward part of one of the cars while I took one further back,. 'We soon got under way, ard they run that express train \like sixty.\ I could see by watching Bill that he was getting mighty \ onaizy.\ He looked all around him, and overhead, And then back at me, but I never \ let on\ that I saw him. By- and-by the 'cars roared into a tuunal where it was as datk as tar, and you know what an awful noise-the ears make in those tunnels. Well, as soon as we got out into daylight, up jumped Bill, and as be turned round I saw that he was a-winking and a-blinking and tub» bing his eyes at a great rate. Pretty soon he made a start down the car to- ward me, groping and feeling like a blind man. When be came to my seat and had taken a good hold of it, he lean- ed over, and in a low, stammering voige, said : i * \* Doo, I-I-I say there's something the matter with me ; I-I-I was blind for about a halr minute just now |\ Woopzx Nurstees Oornors.-There is a Parisian dandy who, we think, rath- er outdons Connecticut. C: had at his residence a complete costume of a groom. - When offering an attention to one of the fair sex, he used to say : \Por- mit me to send you a bouquet by my black servant.\ He then repaired to his garret, took out his blacking bottle, polished bis face and hands, put on his livery, and knocked atthe lady's door. ** Here,\ he said, \ are some flowers sent by my master to madame.\ He had spent the last five francs in the purchase. Madame was so delighted with the pres- oot, that she presented a louis to the bearer, That is, a clear pocketins ol the dellats, and a lady's favor in the bargain. ' Coan Asars ox Gnass.-I have ex- perimented with coal ashes, and find them well worth applying, although it is doubtful whether they will pay for a very long cartage. I staked out a piece in an old meadow and spread coal ashes on quite thick, early in the Spring. The influence was quite apparent as a coat of manure or of plaster, would have been. It started clover, and the grass was much higher and thicker. There is in most coal ashes from stoves, a small quanti- ty of wood ashes, but not enough to ac- count for the effect produced on my meadow, I agree with you that it is better to spread coalishes on the soil than to mix them with manure.-Amer- fcan Agriculturist. - Teacmmmo ny Exampis.-A French gentleman reproached his son for carry» ing a gold watch in a very careless and exposed manner; but the young gentle: fuan persisted in the practice, in spite of parestal admonition. In a crowd at the theatre, one evening, the old gentle» man asked his son totell him what o'clock, it was, and the young. man was distressed ard mortified to find his watch had been stolen.-* Never mind,\ said his father, smiling; \ I took it myself, to show you how easily you could be rob- bed-here it is!\ He put his hand in his fob to restore it; but lo, and. behold, it was gonal Some thief, more adroit than himself, had appropriated the prop- erty. 20% Bres.-fu the provinces of Silesis, 260,000 colonies of bees are kept, rep- resenting a capital of more than one million of dollars. These, even in the most unfavorable years, yield a profit of ten percent; and in propitious seasons, such as the year 1846 was, the yield was fully 100 per cent, or more than $1,000,000.

IRVING. . ° * Among the mass of valuable informa- tion accumulated by my respected kins- man, the late Bmient Van Brunt,. I came across another manuscript in the hand- writing of Mr. Volkert Van Gelder, re- lating to the founder of that family at Matinecock. | In a former number of the Knickerbocker were set forth some of the troubles and anwoyrnces which had be- sot that aistinguished man when in bit- termess of spirit he turned his 'back upon 'his native city and buried himself and his grief in the unexplored recesses of the Matinecock. p The various aggressions of the pio- meers who had preceded him, and who bad endeavored to deprive of his territories, rankled in his mind long af- ter these difficulties had been adjusted. The ringleaderin these acts of hoftility had been ons Ebenezer Cock; a tall, stiff, raw-boned New Englander, with a face-like parchment, a high nose, with eyes close together, and looking straight forward like those of a lobster. He was one of your hard-headed, close-fisted dis- putants, who never became excited, but are endowed with untiring perseverance and immeasurable wind. To him, Teunis Von Gelder bore a mortal antipathy, for be had not only laid claim to the lands on which the Dutchman had settled, but had added the further insult of proving his claim to be just. The claim might bave been borne, but the insult was intolerable.- But if Ebenezer had powers of argument, the Dutchman had tenacity of purpose ; and the warfare was carried on with cautious perseverance on one side, and on the other with vehement animosity, backed by an obstinacy which had nev- er been known to yield. , In the midst of this turmoil he had no friend or confident, except his trusty ne- gro Ryk, who had grown up with him, bad followed him in battle, and now shared his exile. Together they used to patrol the place, keeping a watchful eye on the adjacent country, the old man recounting the glories of his native city, and thanking God that his only son was safe in Holland, where he could hear nething spoken exeapt his mother tongue and was beyond the con amicating infin- ence of the conquerars of his beloved town. _\ _ . > At this time the monotony of his life was interrupted by the arrival of one Detrick Van Dam, a distant kinsman, who had recently returned from abroad. He was a gallant, stalwart fellow, of about three-and-twenty.\ He presented himself one day to the astonished eyes of Teunis and the admiring ones of Ryck, without notice,or word of, war- ving. - He had been so long absent that the veteran did. not recognize him, but instinctively was girding up his loins tor battle, when the light, ringing laugh of his relative stole across his ear, like a strain of long-forgotten music, touch- ing some chord in his heart which bad been long unstrung. The old man took him to his arms.and with a feeling of al- most childish desolation, wept upon his breast. The weakness was but momen- tary. | The next moment his martial spir- it-revived, and he forthwith began to calculate how much strength this recruit would add to his garrison, To his kins- man he recounted his grevances and decribed 'the persecutions of the myrmi- dons of the neighborhood with so much earnestness, that the feelings of the young man were fairly enlisted, and be pledged himselfto stand-by his ancient hiend through thick and thin. He scouted the idea of defensive warfare, but suggested an immediate onslaught upon the enemy, that they: should be sm'tten hip and thigh, and that particu- lar attention be shown to .the indefati- gable Ebenezer Cock. He propored to eye of the veteran fairly glowed to find an ally so much aiter his own heart- He applauded 'the spirit which dictated atacle that there was no city to sack, cat ghat can iwo do.?

'The thing is settled I\ Teunis regarded his confederate with a shrewd eye- Whatever his thoughts may have been, he kept them to him- self; and when his visitor retired he rubbed his hands with an air of keen en- Joyment as be bade' him good night. No time was lost in carrying out their warlike resolutions ; and the suecess of the young man in making his mark was such tbat not & settler within ten miles but bad heard of him. 'The women de- clared that he ought to. be ashamed of himself and the men that be ought to ba bung - So vain-glorious did old Teu- nis become that he began to. entertain vague ideas of laying clam to the whole territory batween Matinecock and Fluhing, and expelling every Cock from the country ! . While Derrick Van Dam was thus running riot - and carrying dismay throughout the land, all 'idea of attack upofh the domicile of Ebenezer seemed to have passed from his mind. . His har- | dihood, what & terrible fellow he was in a band-to-band encounter; what a fine. |. looking fellow. he was, too, his generosi- ty and his deadly animosity to the eritite Cook family, were the sole topics of talk in the sparsely settled district and were not loug in reaching the ears of the daughter arid heiress of Ebenezer Cook. Freclove; for such was hermame, had grown up beneath the shadow 'of bat fa- ther; and the seid eye and warm tem- per 6f a step-mother, ~Under the, Com; bination of Heat and cold she bad (ri- paned into .s; blooming: maiden, wari of. heart, somewhat quicls of temper, and as unconcious of her charms as young sack the city where be dwelt. 'The dim- the proposition, but suggested as an ob-. p | man. beauties generally are. She was also known to be one of the best brought up girls on Long Island, having had every fault carefully held up.to her disappro- bation by her watchful step-mother, whose rough tongue was the terror of the country, and. bad rasped Ebenezer down to skin and bone. - When the report of the menaces of Derrick Van Dam reached the ears. of the maiden, she espouged the 'cause of her father with great vivacity, She vowed undying animosity against Teunis Van Gelder, was particularly bitter in her animadversions on his young ally, and usually concluded by stating that she would like to have an opportunity of giving him a piece of her mind in person. - Whether the fear of encounter- ing her sharp tongue had any effect in preventing Derrick from carsging out his menace, I cannot say ; but certain it is, that although once or twice he had \accidentally seen the girl near her fa- ther's house, and had - been not a little struck by her chariis, he continued to keep aloof from her, having no doubt learned in the course of his foreign trav- el that a woman's tongue is a weapon difficult to parry, especially if she be young and fair, _ « The girl soon had other matters to thTak of, Sho had grown up with that antipathy to the opposite sex, which is the peculiarity of young girls, and vowed thatsbe would never marry; yet the fame of her beauty had extended far be- youd her paternal domains, and. several young vagabouds of that class who usu- ally admire young maidens, had mde overtures for her hand. 'In reply to these, Ebenezer put on his spectacles, looking them full in the frce, investiga- ting the length of their purses, and (te- turned a decided negative. Nor did he trouble his daughter by communjcating their\ proposals. At length a new candidate made his appearance, - He was a stern, iron-strung soldier, who had been a hard fighter in the Indian wars. He was named Seth Pinchon, and was possessed of a large tract of land not far from Oyster Bay, consisting principally of sand-bars and salt meadows, and prolific in clams and musquitoes. - Seth Pinchon bad been the right-hand man of Captain John Underhill in most of his battles with the Indians, both on the maiu Jand and on LoogIsland. He had made himself memorable in the desperate fight with the Massapequa Indians, when their fort .was destroyed and the power of the tribe broken. He was gaunt and raw- boned, with a face seamed with sears, and a complexion hardened and tanned by exposure and service, until it had as- sumed both the color and consistency of sole-leather, He had also been an ac- tive partisan against the Dutch in <the disputes between them and the English. As long as the Dutch had maintained their domination over any part of the island, these broils had given him con- stant occupation, occasionally varied by his chastising a refractory. Indian tribe which might have dared to maintain that their territories were their own. However, the battle with the Massa- peguas was the last great struggle of the: Long Islands, The Dutch, too, were subdued, and Seth Pinchon retired to his lair at Oyster Bay, near the abode of his old commander, John Underhill. His occupation being g me, he. betho't himselfthat he was becoming stricken in years and that it was high time to settle in life, . In one of his marauds he had fallen in-with the daughter of Ebe- nezer Cock; and although he .was not prone to tender feelings, yet she had made such an impression upon him, that now when the pressure of his various avocation= were removed, her image rose in his mind.as his future help-meet. He set about the accomplishment of his object with that directness of purpose which was his great characteristic. Having bestowed more than usual care upon his person, he- mounted his horse and directed his .course to the dwelling of Ebenezer Cock. It was & quiet, snug littlé farm hcuse, built upon the borders of a forest and 'commandin a wide. view of fields of grain, which about it indicated ease and comfort, for Ebeneter was known to be a thrifty As the cavalier rode up, Freelove met him ar the door with a \beaming smile. She had no suspicion that she was at the bottom of his visit, but the renown of the campaigner excited in her a desire to obtain from: him that, admiration 'which the gentler sex are apt to crave from those who bave made a name by courage and prowess in arms. ~Seth Pinchon felt more embarrased at ber salutadon than he would have done in storming a fortress. He dis- monated and-shambled into the house with; side-long gait, having .more the air of a sheep stealer than one on his way to storm a fair: lady's heart. Ebe- nezer Cock received him with cordiali- ty, but with: the erectness peculiar to his race. ©He heard his proposal with stern satisfaction, for he- felt that amid the aggressions of Teunis Van Gelder, a son-indaw of a calibre like that of the staunch campaigner at hiselbow woul be a powerful auxilary. He accepte his offer at onée, and told him that he might consider the matter as. settied..- There was one, however; who heard the proposal and its acceptance with very different feelings. This was Freelove herself. ~She had not accompanied the soldier into the room, but had lingered at the door, 'and had overheard all that bad passedy. With a sinking hesrt ab stole off to her own room, and kept Out of sight, until the heavy tramp of. hoofs told her that Seth Pinchon was depart ing. From the window she caught sight of his erect figure as he rode off; In the form of the fairFreelove there was nota very little spirit; and every feeling was in arms at being thusuncer- 'emonionsly disposed of, Shedetermined that the grim warrior who had «o little knowledge of female nature as. to over - look her wishes in such matters, should toeet his match. She kept her own counsel, but maintained a keen watch over 'the movements of her father, | G sooner was it mnoised about that coveted prize, this the wholo c‘oxig‘nry from Flushing to Huntington was ina blaze of excitement.

Had she been about to wed 'one of her own age, and to whom she went heart and hand, a spirit of high-bred chivalry, a dash of which 'was mingled with his reckless character, would have prevented Derrick, notwithstanding his former menance, from interforing. As it was, he looked upon Seth Pinchon as little better than the corsairs, who were scouring the Mediterranean and Adriatic, aod making prey of every fair maiden upon whom they could, lay hands. He did not kesi- tate to declare his intention to take the field against bis military rival, and to proclaim openly that Freelove was the fairest maiden on Tong Island, and that he would marry her in spite of Seth Pinchon, This menance reached the ears of Freelove. At any other time it would have excited ber ire ; but mat- ters were approaching a crisis with ker, arid the prospect oftescape, even by be- ing carried off by a scapegrace whom she had never seen, and whom she had denounced on all occasions, seemed a positive relief, ' * Still day after day slipped by. Ru- mors of his pranks, of his reckless fo- rays into the territories of the Cocks and the Lattings and the Frosts, the Wrights and the Weeks, bis uiter disre- gard of territotial rights and Indian grants, rang through the country ; but no incursions of his had extended inside the dwelling of the Cocks, nor had there been the slightest demonstration of a more tender character. _ In the méantime these vaunts had ex- cited Ebenézer Cock's wrath to a white heat. He declared that Derrick was no better than a freebooter, and ~that he would have him hung if he got him in his power. Freelove's heart sank at these menaces; it was heavy too on her own account; for the house was alive with the bustle of preparation for the wedding. Apples were hanging in festoon at the windows; pumkins were brought in for pies; sheets, toweling, and all thewarious items of house-wifery which denote that a daughter and an heiress is to launch her bark in life, were about her. Amid all, she drooped and the bloom faded from her cheeks.. 'In vain, well- meaning friends. endeay- ored to cheer her, by sounding the prais- es of her intended bridegroom, They: told how many Indians he had scalped, how many towns he had sacked, and recounted his numerous adventures by flood and field. Had these exploits been connected with a young aud hand- some person, it is not improbable that they might have added to his merits in her eyes ; but as they only brought to her mind the gaunt, battle-worn exterior of Seth Pinckon,, she turned away and said that he must be a cruel wreigh§ As the fated hour drew near, she would steal away and wander through the woods, endeavaring to plan some mode of escape, yet feeling that her plans and schemes must fail beneath the fron will of those who controlled her. One after- noon, under the influence of these feel- ings, she wandered: off into the woods, too much absorbed in her own thoughts to notice whither she directed her steps. She had gone farther than usual; and .was about turning homeward when a twig, smapping beneath a foot step, caught her sitention. at that time slill. furked in the forests, and sus- picious *characters were known to be prowling sround the settlements, living equally by plundering the white man and, the Indian, . With a feeling of trepidation the girl turned toward the sound, and-beheld> a young man stand- ing within a few feet of her, He was gazing at her witha look, of extreme surprise, which look was equally reflect ed in her own face. The stranger raise ed his hat respectfully. .\\I think I have the honor of addressing Miss Cock $\ 122 R _ There was something in his air which inspired confidence; and- although he gazed at. her with an expression of the most intense admiration, yet bis tone was so respectful that she could not take offence.

While these thoughts were passing through her mind, she was directing* her footsteps homewards.- The stranger hinted that improper char- acters were said. to bae prowling about, and suggested . that he should «escort her until she arrived in sight of her father's house. 'The girl seemed to ac- quiesce, and. he took his station at her side.- By degrees as they went on, their steps beeaime more and more slow ; their conversation was carried on in- a tone so low, that although there was no listeners, it was scarcely above a whis- per.

She stood expecting his reply with some apprehension, and yet with it was min- gled an odd kind of feeling, which she did not undefrtand, but which she knew sho did not entertain towards Beth. _. * Well,\ said the stranger, drawing a long bfeath, \I am Derrick Van Dam I\ A vague surmise that such might, be the fact bad already entered the mind of he gir}, and for 'an fostant ber heart beat wildly ; the next moment 'she be; came deadly pale.. Derrick seized her Band in both of his, and poured forth his protestations of devotion in language that might have melted half a dozen female hearts; but there is something unaccountable n the ways of a woman, and 'be who would trice out the wind- ings ofoher heart must be a more pro- found philosopher than I am; for al- though but a short time before 'she bad been hoping and longing for this very occurrence as her only chance of escape, yet now, when Derrick stood before her, glowing with manly beauty far greater than she had expected, and had ven- tured to utter the words which she bad been so anxious to hear, she- received him with an air of chilling reserve; and did not fail to let him know that his 'boast of wooing and winning her bad reached her ear. Indeed, she carried her imprudence farther, for she conclud- ed by telling him that 'be might look for a bride among those who beld them- selves more cheaply than she did. Derrick's hopes, which had been high, were completely dashed by this sudden change of tone,. He was & bold fellow where hard blows and round knocks were going on; but his heart«@' was tender as a child's. Her reception cut him to the quick; for all that he had of love, he had unconsciously. be- stowed upon her, and what with dream» ing and . pondering over her perfections, he had become deeply involved. Here was all his day dreams scattered to the winds. - He was a manly, frauk-hearted fellow, who did not understand the ca- prices of the little heart which was beat, ing beneath the trim boddico before him, nor could he fathom the glance of the. soft, yet mischievouseye, which-wag al- ready relenting, asis watched him.\ So he took her hand respectfully as he said : \I suppose it was wrong to speak as I+ did, and you have done right to tell me so.

Derrick was teside himself® He re- iterated his protestations of attachment; ha swore that be would never leave her ; he begged her to let him know the cause of her sorrow. If there was anything she would like to bave done, he would do it, If there was any one whom she would like to have exterminated, he would strangle him with pleasure; she had but to say the word, for he was her most abject slave. .
