andi'iino. Envy and his rapid rise

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

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

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

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. The following anecdote
ust bare leen comimuicated by
himself' to solne 'weel tried, trusty'

Transplanting E~ve ga eens.
An interesting paper on the beCst
season of' the year in which to tranis
planit evergreens, furnished by Mr-.
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

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.
