Wooed, Won, Married, and De serted in
Two Days

y
eymoon, we learn, have just occurred at
Rochester. Two weeks since a family
(whose names we suppress for obvious
renSons) came to this city from Syracuse,
and took up their residence on Hill street,
and kept boarders. The lanllady had a
daughter, at the time unmarried, and
mates went a,ong smoothly in the house
hold, the lady getting considerable mum.
Der OF boardcrS. On Tuesday last, a rath-
cr flashy dressed young man, who gave
his name as Greeley, called at the house
and wished to get board. He was accom-
modated. The daughter Of the hostess
being rather good looking, attracted his
attention, and they soon formed an init.
mate acquaintance, which rpened into
love, and then into marriage, the cere-
mony being performed on Thursday last
only two days ocurtsiiD.
The young couple seemed happy e.
nough, and they were supposed to have
enjoyed themselye, hugely. The same
day the husband went to furniture store
and rented S40O worth of furniture, which
he had taken into his wifc's mother y
house. Matters were getting ship shape,
and everything promised a prosperous
journey through life but, alas for the
tallaCy of human hopes 1t was dscoy-
cred on Saturday that the husband had
made himself scarce, AID had gone, no
one knew where. Tie newly wife,
the disconsolate mother, and unhappy
family were plunged into the deepest des,
pair at the revelation of the 5ridegroom's &
departure from among them.
a search was instituted for him, but
unsuccessfully, and the rascality of Gree,
ley's proceedings were made more mani.

boarder, about this time, also realized
that the new husband had been opera

off satchel, which he had probably wan

furniture man got wind of the tansac-
tion, and hurried off to the house, and

The unhappy wife of two DAYS, we are
told, is in an agony of mind, beyond de.
scription. She has yut to consider tina:
as she married in haste, she can repent at
leisure. If the facts are as we have sta
ted, and as we have no reason to doubt
them, she has only herself to blame
Without any previous acquaintance she
took an adventurer, and has been badly
imposed upon.-I'0l GassHe.
Borrow OF THE OCEAN.-Mr. Green, tho
adventures, when making search in the
deep waters of the ocean. lie gives some
sketches OF what he saw on the Silver
Banks, near Hayti
The Banks Of coral on which my divings
were made, are about forty miles in length
and from ten to twenty in breadth.
On this bank of coral is presented to
the diver one of the most beautiful and
sublime scenes the eye ever beheld. The
the water varies rom ten to one hundred
feet in depth, and is so clear that the iii.
yer can see from two to three hundred
feet, when submerged. with little obstruc.
tion to the sight.
The bottom OF the ocean, in many plL
ccs on these banks, is as smooth rs a mar
bieHOOr; Others it is studded with coral
colums, from to one hundred fcetin height
and from one to eighty feet in diameter.
The tops Of those more lofty support a
myriad of pyramidal pendants, each form.
ing myriad more ; giving the reality to
the imaginary abode of some water
nymph. In other places, the pendants
form arch after arch, and as :he diver
stands on the bottom Of the ocean, and
slzes through these into The deep winds
ing avenue, he feels that they fill him
wlsh as sacred an awe as if he were in
some old cathedral, which had long been
buried beneath ''old oceans wave. -
Here and there, the coral extends even
to the surface of the water, as if those lof.
tier columns were towers belonging to
those stately temples now in ruins.
There were countless varieties of di-
minutlve trees, shrubs, and plants, in ey-
cry crevice of the corals where the water
had deposited the least earth. They were
all Of faint hue, owing to the pale light
they received, although Of every shade,
and entirely different from plants am
familiar with, that vegetate upon dry
land. One IN particular attracted my at
tention it resembled sea-fan of i'm.
mense size. ofvariegated colors, and of
the most brilliant hue.
The fish which inhabited those silver
banks, | found as different in kind as the
scenery was varied. They were of all
forms colors and sizes--irom the symmet-
rical goby to the globclike sunfsh from
those of the dullest hue to the changeable
dolphin from the spots of the leopard to
the hues Of the sunbeam from the harms
less minnow to the voracious shark
Some had heads like squirrels, othefs like
cats and dogs one of small size resem-
bled bull terrier. Some darted through
the water like meteors, while Others
