SHOOTING THE DEVIL.

The Florence correspondent OF the
London Times, writing under date of
July 10th, relates singular occurrence,
taken from the Gazetta del Tribunal Of
that place, which We condense as fol-
lows:--A reckless, dissipated young man
of rank, at Florence, having fallen sick,
and finding himself dying, was much
importuned by friars to receive the Off
ces of religion, but steadily refused TO the
last; whereupon the friars threa tened
that the Devil should claim his BODY as
soon as he was dead. To prevent this,
the dying man called Corsican friend
TO his bedside, and exacted a promise
that he would watch by his side until
his body was safely deposited in the
tomb. The man died, and the Corsican
kept watch accordingly by the side of the
corpse in the convent chapel, where bod
les are exposed twentyfour hours before
burial. At midnight, as the clock struck
twelve, figure entered, disguised after
the usual description of the Devil, with
tremendous horns, long tail, chain
girt around his body. and draped in red
and black, as his Satanic Majesty should
he. The Corsican had bold heart, and
he asked the Devil what he wapted.-
The devil replied by an awful groan, the
rattling Of chains. and the outspreading
of his claws to seize his prey. The Cor
sican, still undaunted, declared that he
would not allow the body to be touched
and he warned the Devil that if he did
not leave the place, he would send him
back to his internal regions faster than
he came from them. To this speech the
Devil replied by sconful laugh, such
as Zamiel in Der Freischutz used, and
with another rattle Of the chains advan-
ced to the coffin side, on which the faith
full friend produced loaded pistol, and,
taking sure aim, shot the Devil through
the heart, and dopped him at his feet,
dead, as they say at Amsterdam, as a
herring. or at Birmingham, as door
nail.
The report of the pistol alarmed the
police, and number of those guardians
of night having appeared, they saw to
their astoniShment the corpse lying in
its proper place, the Corsican sitting
TRANQUILITY BY its side. and bleeding
mass covered with red and black, tre-
mendous pair of horns, and the well
known tail. An explanation was soon
given, and when the Devil was strip
ped of his finery, he turned out to be the
bell-man of the convent, employed no
doubt by the friars whose religious assist
ance was refused, for the purpose of Civ
ing striking proof of the danger of
dying without the consultations of the
Church. and of the fate tc which all i'm
penitent sinners are exposed. The Cor
slcan was tried and acquitted, as he
showed that in the Tuscan code there is
no penalty attached to shooting the Dev-
il. and as he persisted in saying that
when he fired he believed he had to deal
with his Satanic Majesty. and no NOR.
tai representative. The friars of con-
vent declare that the whole story is d
fabrication, and the minister of instruc-
ton announces that he will prosecute
the Gazetta del Tribunal for having in
serted it.

MoErHoLoGy.-The word Morphology
signifies literally the ''science of chan
ges," and as applied to botany. embraces
very interesting subject of inquiry
Within the last forty years, it has been
clearly made out :hat all thQ@parts of a
plant known as leaves. flow ind fruits,
are constructed. in ali cse katsoever,

of the lilly, the rich crimson flowers of
the rose, the fragrant blossoms OF the jas
mine and the orange, and the long trum-

They do not mean to say however, that
he who eats peach for instance, is in a
state Of mental delusion, and that while
he fancies himself TO be enjoying the
most delicious flavors, he is only chew
ing peach-leaves; but they assert that
those appendages called leaves have a pc
culiar anatomical structure. and a certain
relation to<Bhe stem on which they are
borne; and that all the other organs we
have mentioned possess an anatomical
structure essentially the same, bear the
same relation TO the stem on which thew
grow, are developed according to the
same laws, are arranged upon the same
certain and uniform plan with each 9TH
er, and finally, are constantly being chan
ged into leaves of the usual appearance
thus losing the condition in which they
are commonly found. Unless this be
true, who is to explain how it happens
that buds sometimes spring from the
stems soffiowerleaves, that branches push
forth from the centre of pistils, that pet
ais bear anthers. and stamens change in
to petals, thus proving that all these
parts are formed upon a common plan.

therefore, converted into each other?

A BILttON.

Few people have any conception of
the stupendous sum which is designated
by this term. Some writer having stated
in an article headed "What becomes OF
all the pins?" "that millions of billions
of pins must vanish. nobody can tell
how or where, in the course of a year,"
Euclid, correspondent of the National
Intelligencer, shows up the absurdity of
the assertion in the following style:-
81 think, sirs, the author of that article
thought little of what he was saying,
when he said that millions of billions
mus. vanish in the course of a year.
Many pins. undoubtedly, vanish every
year but any mathematician will demon
strate to us that single billion, has new
er yet been manufactured. A billion.
according to Noah Webster, is million
OF millions "a number so vast, say,
that the human mind has not the capaci-
to comprehend it. A mandatory MAX
ing one hundred pins per minute. and
kept in constant operation, would only
make fifty-two millions five hundred
and ninety six thousand per annum, and
would require near twenty thousand
years, at the same ratio, without single
moments cessation, to make that number
called a billion"

CALIFoRNIA WHEAT.-We have re-
ceived. by he favor of Elliott's Express,
a remarka BILE specimen of wheat, grown
on the rancho Of Mrs. Farnham. of
Santa Cruz, about fifty miles from San
Francisco. The ears are very long, full
and heavy, weighing at the rate of about
four to the ounce and the crop of twen-
ty five across expected to yield one hun
dred bushels to the acre. The sample
we have seen wears the golden livery of
the country, but is far more favorable
omen or Califorhia's prosperity than any
thing which she ever produced before.
