A writer in the Philadelphia Sunday. Transcript, furnishes the following : How it was that Adam Warley could have such a beautiful daugh ter was a problem that puzzled ma ny a train in Warrington. .Adam was cnTufr'ty man.in,eyery sens of, the word ; he was cross-eyed, his nose had been broken in his youth by the kick of a horse, his ears was immensely large, and stood out from his head lika the wings of a bat, and his mouth was extremely capacious, and almost devoid of teeth. iZis wife was a dumpy little body, witli red hair, hot temper, and irregular, coarse features, and a lameness, contracted in her young days, made her limp at every step. Adam Warley owned a small farm just without the village. He was industrious, toiling early and late to make money, nor had he been unsuccessful in bis endeavors. He was a good natured man, and none of his neighbors ever remem cred seeing him in a passion. All the fuss and fury about was due to his wife, who never seemed to have anything go right about the place. Jennie Warley was eighteen years old, and she had never been out of sight of her father's farm. A more charming creature than she was, perhaps never lived, and "when you add to her beauty one of the sweete3t dispositions in the world, I say vou could not understand how she was the child of Adam Warley and wife. It was upon the occasion of her eighteenth birthday, and at the ur gent request of her aunt, that "he was permitted to visit her and to spend a few week3 at the capitol of the nation. Jennie's heart bound ed with delight when she heard her father had cranted her aunt's re quest. In due course of time she was landed at her auat's house, a fine fashionable building, splendidly fir-nisoes'. and situated, in one of. the most delightful portions of the city. Mrs. Dunning had not seen Jen nie since she was a child, and was not prepared to find her so lovely a creature. She could not suppress an expression of admiration as she gazed upon her, and gave her a hearty but fashienable embrace. Jennie's dress, to be sure, was a little olT the style, but Aunt Dun ning's husband held a government office, which he had fattened on for thirty years, and notwithstanding his wife frequently gave delightful parties in the winter season, still Major Dunning had been able to purchase himself a fine residence,! and lay away a few thousands in? bank. When Adam WTarley con signed his daughter to his sister's care, he stipulated that Jennie'" should not be introduced into gayeen society. Mrs. Dunning promiseiev her brother that his wishes should be obeyed, and she at the momentpitt probably intended to keep her partn of the compact. But Jennie arri-jac-ved just before her aunt gave one8' of her distinguished re-unions, andj as she thought she was doing nothingac wrong in allowing her beautifulpitt niece to appear just once in thela buz and excitement of society. SheLe accordingly had the dress-makeifon busy at work, well knowing thatj M her niece's beauty would be thecco, r 4i - . .

Men wisor. in councils of the nation paused aj3t' her side to gaze upon her face a- avolianrTA a -Paw TPAila w'tVi Tier"- Gay and dashing officers and disi tinguished men in Congress hasten0 ed to be introduced to her. Mre. Dunning's heart beat with a proud and happy feeling, and the Majo: swallowed double his usual quaati- ty oi cnampagne, wnen me inougus of his nieco marrying the titled member of some foreign embassy flashed on his mind. 'Heavens ! What beauty.' This exclamation came from the hps of a staff officer, named Parker, who wa3 stationed in the city. Captain Parker was a great ad mirer of female beauty and a con sumate lady's man, but he ras re garded as one who, while they will ingly pay defferenco 'and" homage at the shrine of loveliness, '.never permit themselves to indulge the thought of matrimony. JZia fami ly were immenseiywealthy, and he would be heir to a great fortune on some day, and there were some beauties who never .despaired of en snaring him".! Ho was a gay and thoughtless, " but a warm hearted man, and very popular where he was known. Before the. evening was overr he was on the ?. best of terms with Miss Warley, and a qui et smile lingered around Mrs Dun ning's lips as she witnessed the Cap tain bending a willing ear to her niece's words., v ' ' Jennie ''a8Vefjr'mttcS;let8J with the soldier, and danced with him more frequently than she did with others, and that night when she laid her head upon her pillow, she went to sleep in a delirium of delight, and the dark eyes of Cap't. Parker were the last she saw that looked into her own. The Captain became a regular visitor at the Dunning's, and Jen nie began to watch for him when he was absent, and when she met him she exhibited too much unre strained joy. When Mrs. Dunning saw this she becama alarmed and endeavored to guard her niece more closely. . It was therefore, a releif to Mrs Dunning when the Hon. Thompson Blake, from one of the Southern States, became a frequent caller at her house. Mr. Blake was one of the most promising young members of Congress ; he was well connec ted, very wealthy and a much more handsome man than Captain Par ker, la a very brief time after the acquaintance with Miss Warley, Mr. Blake offered her his hand and was rejected. By this time Jennie was so deep ly in love with the gay. Captain, that the Major thought it proper to have conversation with the soldier on the subject., 'Parker admitted that he admired "Miss Warley, and that he perhaps had been too atten tive, and promised that he would abate his visits. He was so rry frank, that the Major could take no exception to his explanation. 'If I married any woman on the earth,' said Parker, 'I should pre- ier her, but 1 shall never enter the state of matrimony. if the Major w"as satisfied there was one who wa3 not, and that was Thompson Blake. He thought that Parker had treated Miss War ley shamefully, and took good care that his language should como to Parker's cars. In the meantime Jennie had dis covered that she was no more to the gay Captain than to his other lady friends, and a wild grief took pos session of her heart. , Adam War ley arrived about this period, to take his daughter home, and was not long in discovering what had occurred. He bittirly upbraided his sister. YARBORO' H0USBsellany of hi3houses rlcts- IIe RALEICH mm BLACSNALL, Propriety Reference made to all travelling gJ tlemcn. ATLANTIC HOTEL "Noi-follr, Va, R.

A little later Captain Parker went out, accompanied by a friend, who remarked, 'Yon intend to challenge Blake?' " 'I do I must,' replied the Cap tain. 'I know yew opinion, and I know it is right. While we live in the world we must he guided by the customs of society. Let the conse quences be what they may, Blake shall fight me.' ' It was a clear, cold morning in February that two olosed carriages drove at a rapid pace about a mile outside of Bladenburg, where they palled up. Parker and two friends alighted from one, and Thompson Blake with a couple of friends is sued from the other. The gresnd was measured, and the principals took their respective places. Ihen a snort out inenectuai attempt at pacification between the seconds took place. The word was given, a sharp report rang out on the cold air, and Captain Parker . fell for ward on his face before his seCond could catch him, while a stream of tlood-guahcd ftonr his nght eider' " The surgeon shook his head in answer to a question frem Parker's friend. 'It will be over a few min utes,' he.said. A hurried consultation now took place between all parties, during which Captain Parker's spirit fled its earthly tenement. Blake shook hands with those present, and in sompany with his friends, drove away at a gallop, but not in the direction of Washington. fc sfc And Jennie Warley what became of her? She never smiled again after she heard of Parker's death. Her parents hoped she would a giin enjoy the simple pleasures of he. home, and forget the dissap pointmcnt she had suffered. But the charm of her life was gone for ever. She had loved with all the intensity of her soul, and found that the object sho worshiped was cold, if not false. Gradually she denied herself to her best friends when they came to visit, until none out side of her own family ever saw her face. She always appeared calm, but there was an apathy, almost a deadness of feeling, towards those who once were nearest and dearest to her heart. Peculiarities of a Rich Family. When William B. Astor, who died on Wednesday, wa3 told that he could not recover, he said ; "I might have lived for another year if I had not caught this cold ; but I am satisfied to co now. I am eighty-four years old, long past the allotted time or man and at my age life becomes a burden. Doubt less the possessor of one hundred fmftio'arvrI!!si? "inwiu More feund the inadequacy of wealth to make life happy. As was said of him by Parton, in his active years, "all the wages he receives for so much care and toil is a moderate subsistence fcr himself and his fam ily, and the very troublesome repu tation of being the richest man in America." He has also been char acterized as 'the patient abstemious and laborious heir of the Astor es tate.' Mr. Astor had been careful ly trained by hi3 father, John J. Astor, to amass money and save it after it was acquired. Jt was his rule to buy city real estate when i leased most ot nis lots lor twenty- 'one vears. with thft sr.innlatinn flint the lessee should build on them. Nono f Pperty was insured, as he held that the cost oi insu rance on so many houses would be greater than the average losses. He held, also, to his father's rule not to build brown stone houses, as they were too extravagant. The brown stone houses which he own- ed were built by others, and they reverted to I lm on the expiration of leases. In 1870 Mr. Astor paid two million dollars in taxes on his houses and lots. He never held any public office, his whole life hav ing been devoted to the manage ment of his fortune. He leaves three sons, John Jacob, William B. and Henry. The estate decends to his oldest son, John Jacob, who is about 60 years of age. It has been the custom in Aster family for over three f generations to deposit one hundred thousand dollars in the bank at the birth of a son or daugh ter, tho money and the interest to be given to the child-when he or i'ae became of age. Mr. Astor, like his father, was sharp and ex acting in his business dealings.
