Foseue F the-Nisen
In the year 1762 an extraordinary in
stance of avarice occurred in France. A
miser, of the name of Foscue, who had
amassed enormous wealth, by. the most sor
did parsimony„and the most discreditable ex
tortion, was reque3ted by the government
to advance a sum Of money, as a loan. The
miser,' to whom a fair interest was not in
ducement sufficiently strong to enable him
to part with his ,treasured gold, declaied
- his — incapacity — to - meet this demand ;. he
pleaded severe losses and the utmost pover
ty. Fearing, however, that some of his
neighbors, among whom he was very unpo
; pular, would report his immense wealth to
the (overninent, he applied his ingenuity
to discover some effecttaarWay of hiding his
gold, should they attempt to institute a search
to ascertain the truth• or falsehood of his
plea. With great care and secrecy he dug
a deep cave in his cellar; to this receptacle
for his treasure he descended by a ladder,
and to the trap door he attached, a spring
lock, so that, on shutting it, it would fasten
of itself. By and bye the misev,disappeared.
Inquiries were made ; the house was
searched ; woods were explored, and the
-ponds-were-draggedl—but-no-Foscue-could
they find. The gossips began to conclude
that the miser had fled, with his gold, to
some part, where, by living incognito, he
would be free from the demands of the gov
-ernment.
11-: 3 m
Some time-passed-on.-'The house in
which he had lived was sold, and workmen
were busily employed in its repair. In.the
progress of their work they met with the
door of the secret cave, with the key in the
lock, outside. They threw back the decor
and descended with a light. The first ob
ject upon which the lamp was reflected,
was the ghastly body of Fescue, the miser,
and scattered around him were heavy bags
of gold,..and ponderous chests of untold trea
sure, a candlestick lay beside him on the
floor. This worshipper of mammon had
gone into the cave, to pay his devoirs to his
golden god, and became a sacrifice to his
devotion. What must have been the sensa
tions of that miserableinan—what the hor
rors of his situation, when he heard the
door close after him, and the spring lock
effectually imprison him within his secret
mine ! How bitter must have been the last
struggles of that avaricious soul! How ter
rible must have been the appeals of con
science within that sordid sinner! How
each bag must have disgorged its treasure,
rind each piece of gold have danced, in ima
gination, around hint as a demon ! How
hated, when the gnawing pangs of star ve tion came slowly upon him, must have been
that yellow vision! His very heart must
have grown sick at that which he once so
dearly loved !--Gold in bags; gold in Chests;
gold piled in heaps ; gold for his pillows;
gold strewed upon the ground for him to
lie upon ! Whilst his taper lasted, turn
where he would his eyes, nothing met them
but his gold. But when the last flicker
died away and the miser was left in dark
ness, to dwell upon his coming death, and
upon his sins, how awful must have been
the agonies of conscience ! How; surely,
amidst the gloom of that sepulchre of gold,
must the poor whom he had oppressed; and
the unfortunate, whom he had ruined by
his avarice, have rose up to reproach him;
and, when the mind became fevered by its
last deadly struggles, how the faces of hag
gard poverty, of hate, and loathing for the
miser, must, in one load, discordant chorus
have cried for vengeance and retribution on
his guilty soul !
Fruit Trees from &foils.
The new method of raising by planting
the scions, is a great disideratum in the art
of obtaining good fruit. • It has many ad
vantages over grafting, because it is more
expeditious, and requires no stock nor tree.
They must be planted were they are re
quired to stand, and the labor for one day
will be sufficient to .plant out enough for a
large orchard after the scions are obtained.
The method of preparing the plant is as
follows :—Take the scion as for grafting,
and at any time after the first of Pebruary,
and until the buds begin to grow considera
bly, and dip each end of the shoot into mel
ted pitch, Wax, or tallow, and bury•it in the
ground, the buds uppermost while the Body
lies in a horizontal position and at the depth
of two or three inches. We are informed
that trees obtained in this way will bear in
four years from the time of planting. We
have no doubt of this method of raising fruit.
A gentleman in this vicinity the last season
planted about twenty scions of different
hinds of pears which appear to flourish.
