. ek el>i 66een-marked by the death of oneof th'einost loading char .taefiaof the empiroj liose e arsy life .detdifiiied 'series-of struggles ngainst- fortune, and who had ended by, le ig het captive and enchant. ing her to his sidesafter she had led him through every danger, sorrow, andi'iino. Envy and his rapid rise hadindcod, at one time fixed upon hinthe murder of his own son-ma ny people believe his guilt oven to .this day, and those who, lily himself, have placed their whole stake upon the attainment of wealth, upon com mercial honour and financial influence -are forced not only to excuse the deed, but even to defend it. Dur tng Nspoleon's war in Spain, the individual in question had succeeded in obtaining the contract for the supplies of forage for the troops, upon chih he had founded, with all ap pearance of justice, his hopes of a splendid and speedy fortune. The deposits at that time were compelled to be immense, in order to deter nee dy 'speculators from entering into competition; but as the gains were known to be enormous likewise, spec ulators were always capable of pro duing the sum required. By dint of much effort, and using every re source in his power, M. O had succeeded in gathering together the deposit, which was placed in the hands of a banker before the opening of the contract. His was the lowest tender, and lie was accordingly pro nounced the successful competitor, to his own great delight and the despair of his rivals, who judged his charac ter sufficiently to know that if once he got his foot in the stirrups he would not be long in riding over their necks. Judge, then of his con sternation, upon being informed that his contract was broken by the non fulfilment of the agreement concern ing the deposit, and that not more than one half the sum required re mained in the banker's hands! A draft was handed in by which the greater part of the money originally deposited had been drawn out the day before. Suspicion immediatelv fell upon the eldest son of the contractor, a wild, dissipated young man, who had already given him much uneasi ness by his extravagance. The fath er immediately sent for him into his study, and accused him of the forge ry. "Is this your writing?" said he, without taking his eyes from the young man, who turned pale when he beheld the signatures appended to the cheque. "It is," replied he. in a low and trembling voice. "You paid this in yourself," said the fath er, "{I did," was the dogged reply of the youth. Then take the re cei pt," shouted the wretched parent, as lie dr-ew a loaded pistol fromi his pocket, and shot his son dead upon the spot. Tho youth fell without a groan upon the carpet, and O -, with the same stoic tirmness which had impelled him to commit the crime, immediately rang the bell, and order ed his servant to go and fetch the guard to take him into custody. lie was conveyed to the Abbayc, and as soon as Foucho became apprised of the catastrophe lie went to seek the aEmperor. Napoleon w~as much agi tated by the news; lie felt that 0 -was aman after his own heart, and one upon whom lie could irely for the re mor-al of all his dilliculties, lie pa ced the room for sonic memnents with flded arms, biting his lips as lie strodle hurriedly across the liurt, "It is a bad job,'' said he, at length, as lie scratched his head, as wsas his wont when embar-rassed in his mind; "'tis a bad job for O -; but we must bring it in suicide, and lie must execute our contract for- nothing."' As the verdict was pr-onouncied. so was it executed. O0 furnished the for-age without paymienit, and be came on of the richest mn in Eu rope. He has (lied, 'tis saidl possess ed of seven millions--he has died at ai good old ago, if eighty-four can be ,called any thing good-lie has died in his bed, a green satin bed with gold bullion-fringe and tassels--all his kind friends and relatives surrountd ing him, and his children (he has other- sons) and his children's clil. diren gathered about the room. The priests were there too, in their dlress es an~d decorations dep Jremt(ere elUas, as they always are whenever a rieb man dies, and lie confessed, and ob tained absolution, and breathed his last in peacb; anid yet, somehow, no one envied him his solitar-y thoughts, when living, nor the memory lhe has 16ft behind.-Pri-, Ccesp~ondenft of the London Atlas. [Firom a Georgin Papor.] Southi Westsi'rai Georgia coinn.i ii strong" A gentloman of the first respecta bility for tr-uth and integrity, vouch os for the following, which is the latest account from the 1ron Ja-cets, in-this r-ogion: A member of a church, whose published decorum is a declaration of war against, all the bonevolent operations of the age, whether based upon the first or then last command meont of the Redeemer, wvas so far Mydafen/'s to join a Division poh f t U '. itpMin th Wthphe, oun.himself nimctea bfbre= Conference for joioing the :Son, hd was required to atis*qr .ivlthotite. lay, upon . ain of expulsion,; chargo: :6f'runl( iiss had preferred against the brother,. and was pending, and undisposed of, oz the docket of the same. Conference, when he joined the Bons. 'T6 the charge of drunkenness, he intended to plead guilty, and promise reforma tion; and it was to demonstrate the sincerity of that promise, that lie, in fact, joined the Sons. In the sim plicity of his heart, he thought that, to pledge himself, solemnly, to eschew all alcoholic drinks aj a beverage, was about the best security he could give the church or his family against future intoxication. But when this fact came out, behold! a new charge is preferred instanter, and, instead of answering for drunkenness, he is required to show cause why he should not be excommunicated for obligating himself not to get drunk any more! In this stage of the pro ceedings, one brother announced it as his opinion that the original charge of drunkenness was a matter of but little consequence, and had as well be dropped, inasmuch as the charge for joining the Sons would, and ought to, work his inunediate exclusion, without farther investigation. In the perplexity of the hour, the accused proposed, that, if they would not turn him out, he would quit the Sons. rTbi5 proposition was axcepted, pro ceedings suspended, and time given for him to do so. At the next Con ference, the accused presented a withdrawal card, regularly sealed and certified, showing that his con nectirn with the Division had ceased. The Conference decided that no such document could be received as evi dence in that court; and that far more sa tisfactory proof of his quitting the Sons, would be-1st, that he should take a drink of liquor in their pres ence, which was done; 2d, that lie should carry about him a bottle of ligour, and treat the people, which he also did; and, thereupon, both indict ments were nol proased, and the ac cused restored to full fellowship. AQUARIUS. From the Telegrnph. ANECDOTE OF BURNS. 'It is probable,' says one of his, critics, 'that no blast pierced his haughty soul so sharply as the con tumely of condescension.' And sneak ing of himself in one of his letters, he says, 'How must it mortify a man of innate independence, to meet at a great man's table a Sir something, or a Lord somebody, whose abilities would scarcely make an ciyhtpenny taillr, and whose heart is not worth three farthings, and see him dr-aw the attentioni and respect that are with eld from the sons of genius and poverty ?' On the secondc appearance of Burns in the Scottish metr-opolis, lhe was not hailedi with the same enthu siasm by the aristocracy as onl his first visit.

Glhendinning, who has had much prae.' tical experolience in tis~ mantter, has been just published ini the fouurth vol tume the Journal of' the llortienltural Society ini London.ii In oJposition to the opinion anid practice of many per sons, Mr. (Glemidinnting prefers the month of A ugust to any other, and facts would stem to substantiate the correctness of his op.inion. Ile says: "It would he tm avelling over a beaten track to enter- into any gen er'ah detail respecting the ascent and descenit of the fluids in plants, andl the formation and denosition annually o.0i,4 wood in all ligneous T' tion. It will be sufficient for my purpose .t tato that this oxten . andfotmi'i takes placechioe7f' Je nidsuruner aid" principaly ir everpreep: during autumn, when the y g 1 Ihood begin to attain a cer tat degree 'of consistency. It is du ring this downword tendency of the fluids, and when the solar action is in some measure on the decline, that I should seize and conduct with all ra pidity the operations of transplanting; and, if this is intended to be conducted extensively, I should recommend the end of August as a good time to be. gin, September being the safest month in the ryear; selecting such to commence with as have matured their shoots. Another and very im portant reason remains to be stated why autumn is to be preferred for undertakings of this kind in prefer ence to winter. The force of the sun during summer, although now on the decline, has warmed the earth to a considerable degree and depth, so that the mutilated roots are com paratively situated on a gentle bot tom-heat which rapidly promotes cic atrisation, and frequently aids the emission of young spongelets during the current autumn. That the season which I have here ventured to urge for the performance of the work under consideration is un deniably theoretically the right peri od, appears beyond all question; and being no mean experimentalist in ru. ral embelishtment, with plants of con siderable magnitude, I can attest that it is practically the season to be pre ferred beyond all others. I had oc casion to superintend the removal of upwards of 2000 trees and shrubs, all evergreen, and varying in size from 6 to 40 feet high, during one autumn. The trees were prepared as formerly described the previous spring, and as the undertaking was rather gigantic, the work was begun in August and finished with the year. The result was of course watched with some interest, and the following summer, when an examination took place, I found that those trees which were transplanted early in the season indicated little change from their re moval, but the contrary was the case with those which had undergone sim iliar transplantation during Decem ber. In fact the gradual diminution of the motion of the sap, accompa nied with declining atmospheric ac tion, which tended, in conjunction with the usual autumnal precipita tions, to cool and saturate the earth, clearly and progressive'y exhibited our comparative success. tattbibates.
