This effect, be it remarked, is as traditional as
the treasure sought for, our sauant, like all in
ventors, holding the strongest objection to the
machine being beheld by any mortal being, and
only consenting to search for gold, upon condi-
tion that he shall be left to do so alone, in the
place where tt is supposed to exist.
AS you may suppose this machine has been
already put to the test many times, for the
treasure supposed to be concealed in Paris is be-
yond all calculation, especially in the old part
OF the city, where usual clause in the lease of
houses, is the condition that no search for gold
shall be made, save in the presence of the pro-
prietor or his delegates OF course, almost the
first summons he received was one to the Tuiler-
les, where rumor has lodged, in the vaulted
passages beneath the cellars, an immense guam
tity of plate and specie, buried there by order
Of Louis Seize before his attempt at fight from
Paris. The assembly waiting in the green sa-
loon while the search was taking place, consist.
ed of all the nobilities in wealth. art, aud sol
ence, belonging. to the country. aud after two
hours delay, the disappointment was terrible
when the gold, seeker returned to say that moth
ing whatever was hidden in the vaults, neither
below the surface nor in the walls. Louis Phil
lippe, it appears, had found the nest.egg of
Louis Seize when he constructed the subterra-
mean passage from the palace to the Terrasse du
Bord de Eau. 1t consisted, so it is reported
by Dupin, who was admitted to the secret, of
about forty barrels, filed entirely with gold
pieces, chiefly coming from the treasury of the
Regent of Orleans, and composed almost entire
ly of single and double louis-d' 'ors. The Empe-
ror, who knew that the nest had been already
robbed laughed heartily at the disappointment
of the courtiers and in order to console them
for their disappointment, proposed that sum
of gold should be concealed in the apartment,
which, if found by the saUant, should be his
own. 1t was deposited by M. Fleury beneath
one of the bronze candelabra of the Salle des
Marechaux. The candelabra are eight in num-
Der, their weight tremendous, requiring the
strength of three men to displace them when
occasion requires. The company, following the
sarant all through the rooms, and only permit
ted to stand at the door while he pursued his
search, watched every movement with the great
est interest and an eyewitness declares to me
that as soon as he entered Salle des Marechaux,
so great was the attraction, SO powerful the ma
chine, that the treasurc-seeker seemed as if in
stantly drawn by some invisible hand towards
the place where M Fleury had SO cunningly Sc
creted the money. There was no demur, nc
hesitation in this instance, the triumph was
complete, and the ten roueaux were given up to
the sarant with great good humor and much
satisfaction on both sides"

ANEoDoTE OF WELLINaroN.-The Duke Of
Wellington was well acquainted with his Bible,
and valued it, Many years ago, when Sir Ar
thur Wellesley, brother officer, was speaking
snecringly of the Bible, and ridiculing the idea
of its being revelation from God, when he ab
ruptly said, "S-, have you read Paley's Ev
licences! If you have not, advise you to read
them. once thought as you now think, but
read Paley, and am convinced" That officer
afterwards became one of the holiest men in thu
British army, and thanked the Duke for hi
timely reproof.

They do twell or i'll as they are right or wrong.
Bad thoughts are enemies worse than all out
ward ones.
DIR. Claiming says, "The perfection Of mind
is have propensity to seek agreeable and inter
esting objects, to have attention turn spontane-
ously to beauties of nature, excellences Of hu-
man eharacter-God's perfections. A mind
thus filled is always improving, always happy.
A mind which turns to disagreeable things, par
ty agitations future uncertainties, ETC., must be
depraved. All objects may be ewed as express
sions of goodness.
