The end of tbe whole a), that the uncle of Sir (Jeorge died; '.be young baronet was left bi-ir ; and witLin a few hours almost after bing put in possession of bi fortune, wbieb was tbe portable one of an old moneyed boarder, the young baronet was on bi way ' wi&n mf jmamgne. i no creuiiora stornieu and vowed reecn;e; but tbey at first knew Dot wb'tber be might fly ; and there are great difficulties attending tbe recovery of mo'.ey flam creditor ou the continent, in any eae. !-ir (Jeorge fixed bim- slf iu a small eoun try hoBsti near liouiogne.

Tbo aoeiety which be then met was , not of a character le trouble itself much about what be bad done, or was do- i iug, or was about to do, o long at be' maintained a fashionable nj pearanee and a gentlemanly dvpoituirnL i5 .Sir tieorge led a Tery fjuiet and utidfturbed etistence ' fjr a time, alwat excepting tome little! twinges from a sense of violated honor, un- til love, tbe universal busybody, came in the way to ocrtbrow tke runaway's repoe. : A la ly made her appearance in Itoulogne, beating tbe name and stylo of the l!aroncs, d Ktial. lleport said tbat she was au Knglish woman by birth, younj, beautiful, and reputed rich, Kre long, such attrac tion! brought ail the danglers of dangling IWuwgna into subjection to til baroness, and, anion) tbe rest, our baronet saw and' admired tbe lady. For a lime, bowever, he s undistinguished Ly her, nor did be make any remarked ad faucet an his own1 part. An accident brought round an eclair cisscnietit. Uy a peculiar piece of ak-. wardm ', a it ci tued, on tb part of ber servant, the calrcbe of the Laroutss was nearly overturm d near Jir fjcorjio door. '1 be youog baronet sprang out; and tbe lady appeared faint and terrified, he en treated her to alight for a few moments. ' f"!i- complied. It was tbe hour of lunch, and tbey lunched together. V ben the lady was at last about tt depart. Sir fieore ,ec, d h ave to take the reins out of the banns ot lae awkward servanr, aim tnwi ber home io person, 1 he result of ail was, t'.rit (he baronet became an established i.s- itanl of the Larjin " . and hating declared bis passion, received and answer which left him uhkIi to hspc, while at tbe saute time it promi-:d li thing pi-itive. ,ir I iori eiU not Le jng acquainted with t lie tnir bsreiiess withuiit di-coverinj; that she bad one rtiiiarkalile and someahat eccentric t-te : shy was distractedly fond of tisiiiiig. .'siie hal hired far the sea-ou a lare awl, noiiiet hii bctacen a fishing boat aiid a yacbt, and every uiorniug, "lien the weather was good, sip.' ruse Kith tbe sua, l 3j:iuse herself off the coast. " 1 cannot comprehend th-; pleasure you take !u ibis occupatiou,'- aaid ?ir (ieorge to ber one day. " It i a charming recreation," answered she gaily; "and, besides, my physicians have recommended to me to tak as much air and ex rcie at sea as possible. I ae ij'iiic the ta.-te tli!0Uj;h this cause. It is soii c'iiiies dull, to be sure, f.r the sailors and my strtacls are lu eompaoy. Hut I bare been pressed Ly a certain gallant ma jor, and a certain warlike colonel, to permit then; lo bear me company, and 1 think I ; mast consent some day." How could a lorer forbear t entreat permission to occu d the plaeo of tho.-e rival suitors? Sir (ieorf-e could not. lie begged and sued, and tin, fail lady gavo her consent tbat he should accompany her next morning on one of iier odd exciiraioiis to sea. Tbo day proved beautiful, and th pair went abroad at sunrise. They sailed, how ever, far out tu sea, and along the coast ere any desire for fishing was shown by the lady. The water was nut favorable, she '. said, at one place, and then she declared that be bad no fancy on this moruing for : the exercise. Sir ieorge was rather pleased ; with this disinclination, which was owing, he Battered himself, to her being absorbed by his own conversation ; and she, on her part, seemed only to think of charming him by sweet discourse. At length a slight shower fell, and the baroness asked her lover to enter a small rude cabin, where a glass of wine and cakes were offered to ; buii. Here tbe pair sat, hour after hour,1 the lad v enchanting ber lover with talk that caued him to forget all but her present self. At length he pulled out his watch, j and started up. "What!" cried he, "the, day is far advanced, and I don't think they f have ever pot about!" The w ind, too, was j blowing nearly direct from the coast. ; "Cotiie, madam, if you fish at all to-day, it, is surely time lo begin," i The answer started the poor baron!. " I have fished," said she, ijuietly t " and what is more, 1 have caught my lisli." " What tlo you mean f cried Sirticorgr, " What fish have you caught!" "Twenty thousand pounds'.'' answered tbo lady, with coolness, Sir (ieorge grew pule, and stepped hurriedly on deck. " listrartiuo !'' cried be, as soon as la bad looked round. " Put about iustsntly, pilot; this i- Margate! wo are off' ling land I" " Kxaetly so, Sir George," said the lady, at bis back, lie turned round aud looked at her. " Your purpose then, is to take uie " " To London, Sir tJcorge," said the lady, interrupting him with caininess, though a cratifieil lliish was un In r check. Sir tieorite turn-id to tbu suitors. " My purse!" said be; "twenty-Ove louis for you, if you put about for lioulogna !" " Tweuty-five louis !" said the lady, dis dainfully, ' when twenty thousand pounds are in the other scale '" " Barbarous, treacherous woman !" cried the infuriited baronet, as he looked around with au eye that threatened peril to all, if lie had but had the means to inflict it; but the baroness gave a signal, and iu au in-; slant his arms wore pinned to his side by iwo pair of brawny arms. The barouet struggled, but in vuiu ; a cord was pro duced, and he wa only saved from (lie ig nominy of bound, by giving bis assurance lha the would remain in rjuitt durauce iu the cabin. It seemed to bim tbat be had noth ing for it but to submit. Sir George, reduced to this condition, looked with indignation at bis captor. Sb had checked1 the sailors for harshness iu their usage of him, but otherwise she ex pressed n visible emotion. " lktrayed by you!" said the captive, "you whom 1 loved so much !" " You loved me '." " Yes; welt you knew it!" answered Sir George, Since you are an adventure, cruel woman, would not my whole fortune, with my band, have better paid you than a miserable hire?" The lady spoke Hot in reply, and Sir George also held a scornful silence from that moment until be landed io the Thames. He .i as here conducted to a hotel, on giving his solemn promise that he would i" 5t attempt to escape. Believing all to be lost in any case, he was glad to be relieved from the confinement of a jail, though it miht be but till hit creditors were warned of bis capture. It was sight when this landing in the Thames took place. Sir George spent a wretched flight, moaniu? over that fate which his conscience told Litu vat not un merited. In tbe morning he drew up as act, briefly giving up ail to bis creditors, lie bad scarcely finished this when a visitor wa announced. It was bis betrayer, tbe baroness. "Wretched woman! what seek you?" said be sternly. " Is not your task done? I have now to do with others." " With onue but me," said the lady in a low voice, and with a timidity of manner mot unlike ber pre Sous deportment. "What do you in, au, madam ?" asked Sir George. " I am your sole creditor," said the lady ; and she placed in his bacds some pipers, which be at once saw to be his own re deemed bonds. He looked up in amaxc mcnt. " You had a cousin once. Sir George," said the lady, with ber eyes on the floor. " I bad Auue Fulton," said Sir (ieorge, " we were playmates in childhood." "She weal abroad, alien a mere child, with her family,' continued the lady. "She did," said the buroi'cl ; "and I have lieaia t . n,l,r ri. ur in tbe island where tbey settled. It pained me to hear it, for we loved each other even when infants." " She wedded against her will," continued the lady ; ' for she, too, remembered old days. She is naif a widow." A light had been gradually breaking upon Sir George's mind 1 1 u started hastily forward, and look hold of the lady's baud, almost threw ing himelf at her feet. " You are " " I am your cousin Anne," said the lady". It is nt-edless to carry our tale beyond the point when the imagination of the rea der can do all that remains to be done, Tbe lady bad returned to England a rich widow t bad learned the situation and em barras.iueiits of her wcli remen.bered cou sin ; bad seen him at Uouio.-nu ; had con trived the overturn at his door, and ma le bis acquaintance. Siie had ouly thought of the fii bing sc'n me through a spice of ro mance in her temperament, and that she might p i him to Midland, where she might have his debls paid. They wedded and lived happily, like all lovi rs in stories; and ae wish all were as true as the present eue. A Frem it Ptorv, We are indebted te the Paris correspondence of the New York Times for tbe following anecdote, which be gan twelve years ao, and tbe trummnt of which but recently occurred s The Cafe Foy basl or bad, a .standing rule never to call back or a-k an explana tion from any iudividual leaving the estab lishment without paying. The doctrine was, if the gentleman i merely forgetful, he wili rectify his error tbe next day i if tbe omis sion is a swindle, it i beiicr to suffer the loss than provoke publicity, and perhaps unplcaant consequence. For five years an iudividual bad breakfasted regularly at the Cafe Foy, and as regularly had acquit ted hi morning s indebtedness. At !at be emitted to do so, but no notice wa taken of it. Ho wetit on in the same way for a week, but as be was an luillnr of so long standing it excited no uneasiness. The waiter finally asked the proprietor if he should remind the gentleman of his delin quency, " By no mean," was tbe reply. ' He has been punctual iu his payments for five year ; and if he is iess so Dow, it is perhaps tbat he i in want of money. At any rate do not let him suppose by word or look, or any want of attention, that hi re cent irregularity has been noticed.'1 At the cud of eight months the gentleman disap peared, leaving bis bill unsettled. It was but. down to profit and loss, and iu five years more had almost passed Iro'D the recollection of the master of tbe house. Not long ago he received from a di.-tnnt port a shipment of genuine Moeea, worth about Sl.tHhi, aud a draft upon a Paris banker fur 1 MM franca, the approximating amount of '-''iO breakfasts. Tbe latter was a reimbursmeiit, tbe former a recognition of an act of delicacy, rare iu any ttation of life."

Rev. Mr Farrow in publishing our cor respoinieiiec prefaces the letters with along article evidently intended to break tbo force be fell wa- in the ii tters themselves. I have some thiii.s to off-r in reply. J'ho-e ol the public who tike an interest in this discission will remember that a let ter wis t to me by the official Board of the MvtLi.list Church iu Charlotte, stating that Ibe had received au liilnrnml wtttx from in., tl.at I would 1 e in Charlotte on the "otli of ia-t April "Joi r the putjiotr of die cussiug the subject of the boundary bclneeu the Not th iind South Carolina Conference.''

When t' i corre.spr oVenee i drawn out Mr. Farrow -ees tbe di.Tirolty of bis position, and undertakes to exji'ain hmc the uotice reached the Church in Charlotte. Hear him. He bad received the message, according to hi ou n account, at second hand. " A few day after this; the gentleman who had brought lis nies-ge called on me, with, prtsiiwr tt,f; ii:lvtior of aequairitin mc with it lur ANTICIPATING HIS WISH, I iiifoiiiieii liiin tbat I bad already learned hi busii.es. !!

To cover the treatment given lue, Mr. F. nndertakts a number of statements in regard to the bi-t, ry of the boundary nhieh I think contains mie mistakes thati any similar number of .statements I have ever seen ill print. He savs "Now, Messrs. Editors, for the last twelve or sixi"cu years, if I do not mistake, the delegates from the N, C. Coa fercuce, have been making violeut effnrts at each session of tbu General Conference, to wrest Irom the fl. 0. Conference her tn-, tire territoiy in the North State." I assure 5lr. F that ho i mi-tiikcn ; that no attempt was tvr made, or so far as 1 know ever spoken of in the General Confer-: cnec or the N. C. Conference to do what he; charg It is uttcr! without foundation. Agaiu hi says " T.iese efforts, though sometimes attended with sonic encourage ment, were cutirely unsuccessful, until the session of the General Conference uf l'iO, Previous to tbe meeting of this Conference, some of the preachers of the N. C. Confer ence so far forgot themselves, iu their teal to accomplish their object, in purson and through their agents, commenced agitating the question of the boundary, and by ap pealing to die State pride of the people along our border, induced many to petition the General Conference iu favoi of the N.C. Conference. Tbe first motion tocularge the N. C. Con ference was male I believe in 1 ' Hi and; then the General Conference gave to N. C Coot'erotici! what she respectfully asked tliluugli hot lVlegaten, but reconsidered the I motion because it was urjed by South Caro Una tbat the action was rather sudden and the people were not prepared for it, ifce. About the pieacbers forgetting ifiemselvcs Ac, I have only to say that never in per son or through any agent agitated the ques tion on the border in any shape or way, and that )mt. u single petitivn in favor of the X. V. Vunjcrenee went up to tbe General Con ference of loll, or if it did I never saw it and never heard of it until I read Mr. Far rew's article. How reckless he deals with historical facts upon which it was easy to become accurately informed. lie then adds " By these means they were partially successful, and a large part of our territory was. added to the N. C. Conference. The result of this was most disastrous, es pecially in tha Fayettevilk, Bladen, and Wil mington charges, resulting in the latter place, iiijthe withdrawal of a number of the most wealthy, intelligent and influential'fliembcrs from the Church." lu reply, I have never heard of the with drawal of a single member from our Church in Fayettcville or Bladen on this ground. In regard to Wilmington; a few days since I received an unsolicited letter from one. of the ino-t respectable gentlemen in that town, lie bad seen Mr. Farrow's article, aud think ing it should be corrected gave me tbe facts as follows. " Nothing is more variant from the truth than the above extract the one quoted above. None mve withdrawn up to this date, except two women, on account of transfer, and one of them, it is generally believed, did not withdraw on the account, but from a dei-ire to join the Episcopal Church. No male member has withdrawn for that cause so the verity of tbe thing narrows down to one vomun who cannot constitute a manl.er nl ' thi most wealth Ac." The name of my correspondent is at Mr. Farrow a service. Mr. F. says that those fact were well known in Charlotte, and I think that I have shown that his " facts " have not the slight est foundation in the world and never exist ed. Not content with this presenting a series of fancies as facts he speaks of some parties thus " Since then, the General Conference has met and adjourned, and the hopes am; labor of the agitators have b.en lost." If the alla-iou i, te me or my Conference I nave simply to say in reply that I imvcr agi tated, and that there is not a rirticle of truth in the insinuation, that our Conference iuten led to try to have Charlotte or Meck lenburg, or any other of the exi-ting portions of the S C. Conference aided to u at the last General Conference. We had no inten tion of moving any change in our bounda ries ; yet we are represented as agitators. 'loMr. V't consideration, bowever, I com mend tbi little piece of bi-tory. From the whole of the territory which came from the S. C. Conference to the N. C. Conference ia I !"-, we are told that only SV. petitioners asked to be set back, and thi includes a number who proposed to be in that territory but. were proem , . .j,. t.d., ,- South Carolina Conference (!) aud I think I am prepared to prove that at least two 8.

Now, a to what I said in Columbus touch ing Mr. F. When Mr. F. received my let ter he must have beeuc&nvinccd that it was all a ini.-take, and that I bad sent no mes sage. Tbat wa shown by what took place at the Hotel a I passed through Charlotte. If Mr. F. really believed that I bad senltlie message and then den it d it why did he treat me so politely as to urge me fa preach or deliver an address? lie did not believe It, I stippcsed we were fiindiy.

I was immediately called to order by Dr. Whiteford Smith, and the dele gates from S.

I have never attacked Mr. Bradley, Mr. Farrow or any other S. C. preacher; they have attacked me and I am simply endeavoring fo defend myself in a courteous a'id gentlemanly man ner. Though ail tin-Church iu South Caro lina I think it is believed that I had intend ed to agitate the question in Charlotte. I have traced the report t i a member of the S. C.

The public w ill bear witness that I did uo such thing.
