HISTORY OF L'ANGELIER.

Mr. William P. Ltird, L'Ang-list's employer in
in Dundee, in a letter to the Dundee Advertiser,
replies to certain remarlis hizatd-d by the Rev;
,;e rge &Milan concerning the character of the un-
fortunate Frenchman, and supplies the follo*ing
particulars relative to the eirimr.of the deceased.
He says : " The history of L'Angelier is soon tAcl.--•
his father, a very respectable individual and t ather e
celebrated nurseryman, die 3, and leaves a widow
and young family Pierre, the eldest son, is sent
to Edinbu gh by his mother in 1842, at the age of
sixteen, to improve himself in the profession c f his
father, wi h a view that he might soon go back and
take his father's business. For a very praiseworthy
action which he did for the interest of his employ-
ere, very soon after his arrival, he is taken from his
humble position in the nursery and placed behind
the counter of the shop, where his principal em-
ployment was selling flowers and flower seeds. Th-10
situation of tiust he held for about five years, re-
spected by his kind though rather indulgent mas
ter, as also by his fellow-shepmeu, and all who
came in contact with him, more particularly the
lady customers wllo frequented the shop. In 1847
he goes to France, where about four years he held
a good situation, but an attachment fir a young
and amiable lady brings h.m back to Scotland again
in 1851, when he is told by his sweetheart that, de-
spairing of h.s ever being atle to keep a wife re-
spectably and of his return, she had, in his absence,
accepted. an offer which had beau made to her:.
L'Angelier is plunged into the deepest grief, alma?
heartbroken for the less of his lover, out of emp;erf
ment, and out of money, living on the bounty
his ftieeds, and he comes to Dundee. From hi 6
kind and obliging disposition he very soon gets pm'
quainted with na my very respectable persons in the
town, and is rt spected by all, who knew him as 33
intelligent, tvell-behaved young man. In Sept nib ot
1852 t.e goes te Glasgow, provid d with recomnaMr
dati ns flow some of the most respectable Merchant!
of Dundee, to try and get a bAter situation, biz'
wite the understanding that ip case he did not sec'
ceed he would come back to my home. His reconv
memiations from Dundee did not procure hire
situation, but through the efforts of a very kind and
most respectable !aly, whose acquaintance he hat'
male when selling bouquets to her in Edinburg
he got into the situation which he hell at his death.
In this situation, according to the evidence of 115'4
fellow-workmen,. as well as from a conversatieti
which I had with Mr. Kennedy, the cashier of the
e=t'blishmeut, he had been respected by all whj°
knew him, and, until the time he became acquainted
with Miss Smith, not a single stain can he foun:
on the character of peer L'Angelier, unless poverti
alone be a crime."

MISS MADE LINE SMITH.
The paragraphs relltug to this young person salif
us for insertion, some original and others cut 0,
various journals, have positively become a iitir
sauce. Ttstimouials, we are assured, are bring solr,
scribal, and she herself has been detected at var''
ous places at one and the-same frac, while nave"
ions sailing vesels have borne her to a forei.gli
o
country. Miss Smith is residing with her parell,,
and family at Rowaleyn in strict seclusion, t)le
state of her mother's health giving rise in the facto,".,)
circle to cansider4ble anxiety. It is not unlilmJ
that she may remove out of the county for some
months, and that Mr. Smith will re urn to 0bj'..6.:,
gow, where his character and sufferings will insl
for him the respect and sympathy of his
zens of all classe=. Miss Smith Irta, we believe'
written to the cnaplain of the Elinburgh
