About six months ago, A \ seeing that B. was most in favor with the , lady, waxed desperate, and, for a long time, he debated with hiin*elf whether it was no- ' bier in the mind to hang, take poison, or 11 WiVe'the'town.

It having the 1 field all to himself, (with the exception of a 1 slight annoyance occasioned by the visits of a young clerk of this citv.) proposed, was accepted, and last Saturday was fixed upon as the day when the wedding was to take Clace. This coming event cast its shadow 1 efore, and the news of it was borne on the < wings of the wind, (or transferred by a let- i ter) avrav, far out upon the public woik- ( alluded to. The sailor heard it?his old attachment was immediately revived?the fire of love was newly kindled?the green * eyed monster had taken entire possession of t his cooler self, and back he started for the scene of hi* defeat. He arrived at the vil ( lage on Friday evening, with a bran splint- j er new suit of clothes, and looking as gay an a peacock, and thiee or four times as at- I tractive as ever. He sought an interview ? with the lady. Now, the man whose busi- J a* it i? iu chii me ngures at a bail, utters j great philosophical tiuth every time he ( ays ?4 Ladies change!'

That night the lady stole v of'ly from her cltaniber, at the dead hour t of the night, crept stealthily out of her fath- v ei's house, and as stealthily into A'a car v riage, as well as into his arms, and the vehicle rolled away towards sunset or tome place else where thev were married.

The prospects, in some porions of the cotton growing States, for a irge yield, are rather gloomy at present ; ui it is thought that, by good, seasonable nins, from this or. during the growing sea- { >n, an average yield will be realized.} oine of tlie more phlegmatic, however, have 1 repaired of making even half a crop ; but lii* is the case only in narrow sections of oiinlry, where the late spring and frost j rare more severely fell. We see n? this ime no cause for murmuring nt the " hard ! ime," or indulging in painful forebodings. I t is true, corn is selling, in some sections of ; nir State, for enormous prices, and very' earce even at any price; but this is a very latural result, and our farmers cannot ex eel any oilier while lliey persist in produc11 g all cotton and 110 corn.
