The heavy tread of a horse oeboed upon the air, as a solitary horseman redo along tho banks of the Santee river, and took his way in tho direction of tho farm house of Ellhu Hunter. He was about twenty-five years of age, and was dressed In the uniform of Marl on’s men, Ho rode a tall coal black steed, and wa* completely armed tor oflbnslvo or de fensive operations; Ho had evidently boon belated, nnd was now wishing tfrmakoup tor lost tlmo, for-hls noble steed was urging forward at a rapid, gallop, aud his oyos wandored anxiously and warily arotrad him; suddenly a bright light broko tho forest and tor down tho stream he saw the lurid sparks ascending Into tho air, and behind ir red glow painted upon the cloud, by tho conflagration bolow. Hastily raising his stirrups, ho gated tor an Instant'upon tho sccno. and then exclaimed— •‘My God 1 ‘Ufa tho house of Hunter 1— Away! Away! Ho stuck his spurt deep Into tho sldo of bis horao, who giving a wild snort, sped like an arrow from a powerful bow through Urn wilds of the forest. The red flames of tho fire oast an .unearthly glare upon the surrounding objects; and re- vealod with fearful distinctness tho features of a strong man who had emerged from tho depth of tho wood and stood leaning upon tho rille, gated at tho glowing embers. Hla lips quivered with emotion, and a tear started in voluntarily to his eye-hut broshing aside this ovldence of his weakness, if weakness it may bo called, ho strolled to whore tho term of a tomalo lay stretched upon the earth, and stooping doivu he scrutinized with, ono deep, long glance, those, pallled features and ported the matted locks from her gory brow, where the total missile had forced l*a entrance and deprived her of llto; and then raising himself to hts fullest height, ho grasped his ride with a spasmodic clutch, and-hreathed forth in fer vid tones tho s'lnglo word—" Vengeance l" And tnrulng around, was about leaving tbo spot, as tho sound of a boreo gallop toll upon his oar. — Poor McDonald!" ho muttorod; "ho comes but to find his affianced bride’s house in ru- ins, and hor in tho hands of his mast implaca ble too.” Tho rnsh of tho steed was heard, tho under wood parted In twain, and with o bound a horseman bolted In front of tbo burning man sion, and glanced with an unearthly stare around him. It was McDonald 1 tho affianced of Marlon Hunter! His lofty brow was pallled ns that tf tho dead female that lay beneath his horse's hoof; and check as pale as the. waiter rose of Sha ron, white every limb of thestrong Wan trem bled like an aspen leaf, aud hlsbosoip hoaved almost to bursting with tho forco bf.hijcmo- tion, as ho shouted forth in the agony.6{hls heart— ' "Sly Marionl toy Marlon 1 whore art IhouT '"Go seek thoonemy of our laud, that hu man demon of Tarieton's' Captain EUorSlte, and you will find her whom thou sock," and tho hunter strode to his sldo. l ." Barilo, my friend, how long since this deed happened 1" , “ An honrslnco." Then, by tho souls of my forefathers, she shell yet bo talne I” and turning his stood, ho dashed rapidly from tho spot followod by the hunter, after taking ono lingoring took at tho scene of ruin left behind him. shouted in phrensied tones of madm-ss as lie hastily mounted his own steed to pursue. " Go on Marion 1 God bless you for a no- blo girl 1 And I’ll def^ the villains to find you again. On, on, glrll There is hope before, and worse than death behind,” and the tears of heartfelt joy poured over tho check of Hun ter, as ho gazed upon tho exciting scene. “ Tako that old gray headed dog lo tho first tree, and bang him upon the first limbi” wrathfrillv cried Ellerslie, as he spurred his horso through the gate, and urged him for ward in quick pursuit. Haifa dozen men sprang forward to obey; and the old man was released from his hone, but so long hsd his limbs been confined In one position, that ho was unable to walk, and hla captors brutally seizing him by the grey halts of his iicad, dragged him forward to an oak tree which grew in tho yard, and procur ing a ropo. prepared to carry into oxacutlon tbo last diabolical order of tbo blood thirsty Ellorsllo. In tho meantime the steed which bore tho flying Marion, swept rapidly onward for the forest, and soon distanced oil save the one upon which was mounted Ellerslie himself and, she soon saw that tho speed of his horso was such that she must Inovitably bo overta ken, yet alio piled, the whip, and they fled like tbo wind toward tho gloomy wood that loom ed up betoro thorn. Buta hundred yards In tervened, when with a demoniacal tough ho dashed up bosido her, and seizing hold of her bridto rein, by a powerful eflbrt cheeked tha gait of hor horso, and by tho tlmo they reach ed tiro black forest, both riders camo to a halt, and throwing his toft arm around her, ho at tempted to draw hor to him.

Derm, the son of an Indian king, came Into Chhm, about the year 619 of tho Christian era, pure ly to promulgate Ids religion; and to gal* R tho bettor reception, lio led a very austere life, costing only vegetables, and spending moat of his time In contemplation of tho Deity. Tha nights, especially, were devoted to his exer cise, pursuant to a vpw ho had mado against sleeping. After continual watchings fbr aeve- ml years, sleep overcame him: but, on hla awaking, such was his remorse and grief for having brokon his vow, that in order to pre vent a relapse, ho out off hts eye-lids, as tha Instruments of his crimo, and with Indigna tion throw them on'tho|grouad; but the next day ho found them metamorphosed into two shrubs, now known by tho name of Cbaa or Tea. Datum, oatlngsorae of the leaves, felt himself not Only more sprightly than usual, but such was tho vigour imparted to hla mind by these leaves, that his meditations beoaare moro fluent,pithy, and exalted, and wtUront any lassitude. The preacher] was not want ing to acquaint his disciples with the eaoeltoat virtues of these shrubs, and accordingly tha uso of them boeamo universal. ry upon tho breezo— " Death U) Ihd 1\>riesl Marion Icornel" The countenance ofEltoralte paled as ho heard tho torriblo sound, and releasing tho form of Marlon, ho sprang to his horse; bnt when ho rose in his, stirrups, his hood was elove to his chin by the reins of Marlon's pal- fry, ho turned him toward tho' form house, and galloped hastily onward. "Do not go there—a hundred red dragoons are resting In tho yard.” " Their doom Is scaled—listen 1" and as ho spoke a loud volley rang forth npon tho blast and tho (hick vohunes of smoko enrled np ahovo the roof of tho house, and a loud crush of arms resounded through tha yard. Marion Axed an enquiring gtoncq upon hor lover, who replied by simple saying— “ TIs Marion nnd his men 1" Of the hundred men that wont forth with Ellerslie, not ono cscopod; and from the ter ror with which their tote Inspired the Tories, tho battle of that morning was called by them, “ McDoNALn’s Rescue." Extravagance in Living •'Ono cannot wonder that tho times occas ionally get hard,” said a venorablo citizen tire other day, "whenono socs tho way In which tlio people llvo nnd ladles dies*.” IVe thought there was a good deal of truth to what tho old gonttomin said. Houses aro at fivo hundred to a thousand dollars rent; brocades at threo dollars a yard; und shawls, cloaks, tec,, from fifty dollars' up, are enough to embarrass any community which Indulges in such extrava gances as extensively ns Americans do. For Itlsnot-only tho'families of realized wealth, who can afford it, that spend money In this way, but thoso who are yet labouring to mako a fortune, and who by the cbanco of trado, may toll of this desirable result after all.— Everybody almost wishes now a days, to live as If already rich. Tho wives and daughters ofmen not Worth two thousand dollars a year, dress ns richly nearly as those of men worth ten or twenty thousand. Tlieyoung, too, begin whore tlielr parents kavj^off. Extravaganco, in a word, is piled on extravagance, till. Alps o’er Alps arlso.” Tho folly of this Is apparent. These sums, thus lavished go for mere show, and neithor refine the mind nor improvo the healthy. They -gratify vanity, nnd that Is all. By tho prac tise ofa wise economy, most ftmllios might, in time, entitle themselves to such luxuries; apd then Indulgence in them would not bo repre hensible. If there are two men, each rual a clear two thousand dollars a year, and* lays by. a thousand at interest, while the other sponds hls entire lncomo, the first will have required a fortune sixteen years, sufficient to yield him an Income equal to his accustomed expenses, while -the other Wili ho poor as when ho started In life.

Wo think that the value of river bottoroa, when compared with fair upland, haa bean and still is much overrated.
