John neDonough, the millionaire.

The New Orleans Delta says the life
of this rich man, was one of entire ex-
clusinn from the sympathies, tastes, re-
sponsibilities, cares and joys Of social
life. He is said TO have been the largest
landed proprietor in the world. The
area of his property is equal 10 some Of
the smaller States, and exceeds that of
many kingdoms of Europe. He had
fifty miles fronting on the Mississippi.
in Louisiana. The labor of keeping his
accounts. deeds, vouchers, &C.. was all
performed by himself, with the assist
ance of some slaves whom he had train
ed to his habits of method and industry.
No white person lived in the old dilapi-
dated house in which he resided. No
person ever visited him, save on busi-
ness or charity. His manners were
rigid and repelling. Every thing about
his old tenement. partook of the spirit
Of the master---all was bleak, cold,
dreary and forbidding. The dogs did
not bark in his yard-they cast at the
passer-by a piteous hungry lock, as if
they sought some kindly sympathy to
comfort their lean carcasses; the cocks
did not crow cheeri'y as elsewhere, but
drawled out their notes in funeral and
hollow strain, as if from empty stom-
achs. There was no sunshine ever fell
upon that spot or upon the heart of its
possessor. SCH Tl.-.-
As regards the spirit of improvement,
he was as destitute oft as the old planks
of his house were of sap. He left the
great part of his immense property in
the city of New Orleans, entirely un-
and his possessions became a
nuisance to the corporation. When in
duced to build he erected the roughest
and most unseemly shanties. usually put !
up by his slaves. and became eyesores,
and dangerous from their dilapidated i
condition. He removed to New Or
leans from Baltimore in 18O0-and
never left the vicinity of the State, never
went North, but remained one Of the
standbys and originals, till his death.

'BoTANY BAY IN AMER1cA.-Itis is in
timated by the London Daily News that
the British Government will probably
make purchase Of the Island of Auti-
corti, in the Gulf of ST. Lawrence, with
the design Of establishing upon it colo
ny of convicts, 10 answer the purposes of
the United Kingdom and of the Provin-
ces The island is from ninety to one
hundred miles long. and twenty 10
twenty five miles in width, unin-
habited, situated at the mouth Of the
river St. Lawrence, and regarded as
dangerous obstacle to navigation. In
case the project above referred to is car
ried out, it is said the Rritish Govern.
ment will construct a harbor there by
convict labor, in order to render it at
tractive to shipping. Another motive
to the enterprise is the cheapness OF
transporting conyicts TO the Island, as
compared with the cost o! conveying them
to Van Dieman's Land.

Cast thy breadupon theWaters and
latter many daysit willrsturn 10 thee;'
this is scripture truth, which, like
iaH truth, has been verified a thousand
times. The following story may
serve to illustrate the verify of this
text. Allow me to promise that my
STORY is true one in all particulars:
Some thirty years since,a lad Of one
of our Eastern States. about ten years
of age, was sent by his employer TO
carry a basket, heavily laden with
wares, to a purchaser. While
staggering under its weight up a
somewhat steep hill, gentleman OF
about 80 years profered his assis-
tance, and beguiIed the tediousness Of
the way BY pleasant anecdotes, good
advice, and kind words. They par
ted-fiiteen years passed away-the
senior OF these two now nearly fifty
years of age, sat in his study with
melancholy .countenance and heavy
heart. His door opened, and his
young and fascinating daughter, just
blooming into womanhood, entered
10 announce that gentleman desir-
ed to see her iather. Show him in,
my darling, and do you my daugh-
ter, leave US TO ourselves.' She obey
ed-the old man entered. well,

3 O'Clock, your property must go in
to the hands Of the sheriff, unless you
find some friend to pay the 500, ,OO0.'
This he said with sneer, and coldlv
bowing, left the house. The poor
fathers heart was racked. Il am a
beggar my daughter is homeless

in this hour of my seveFest trial.
In the midst OF these bitter rehec-
tions, again his daughter entered, in

his opening remark; which being al

by saying that he was a successful
merchant Of New York, hid heard Of
the misfnrtuGes of Mr.. g., and came
on purpose to ask the amount OF his
liabilities, that he might loan the
necessary funds 10 relieve his wants.
Nor was he shocked at the mention
Of the large amount OF $4,000. He
handed him his check, which was du-
ly honored-the father was once
more a happy man-his daughter
was not houseless-he had found !
some friend to pay, despite tine sneer
of his hard-hearted creditor. 'But
