A SAD STORY,

A Paris correspondent of the Philadelphia Sune
day Despatch auvounces the deuth in thut city of the
veacorable aud unhappy Mossieur M——~, whose sad
history he thus briefly recites ;

He was at ove time the head of a large industrial
establishinent, His rectitude was of the severe
Roman type. and yet, as sometimes oecurs, his son
was'immoral and woprincipled in the extreme. At
the time Tam speaking of his wife and daughter
were dead, and the unworthy son, then eighteen
years of age, alane remained to inherit the father's
immense wealth. AsIhave said, Monsieur M, was
severe in the extreme, and, iu oider to put an end
to hie soy's dissipatiou, refused to grant him more
than the most meagre support,

Que eyeniug M——received at his house a friend,
to whom he paid alargesum, Hissoo was present,

' god-the three dined together.
visitor retjred, and although he had to traverse the
wood of Boulogueto reach his own house, started
alone on foot. He coutided also in his pistole, whicl
he always carried at uight. In the most solitary
part of his road his ateps were arrested by x mau
with a blackened face, who presented a pistol to his
head, aod demanded, in the old fashioned way, the
mouey or lifeof the victim, The latter at first re-
solved to part with neither without a struggle, but a

leam of recognition suddenly flashed upon him.
dis resolution was quickly made. Without @ word
he gave the robber his money, and, after waiting
till the latter disappeared in the woods, pursued his

way.

The next morning, at sunrise, he returned to the

house of Monsieur Mi——and related to him the
* eveut of the proceeding night.

* The voice of the robber, his figure aud manner,
notwithstandiag hia disguise, make me certain that
it was your son !”

“ My son!” replied tho father with a sickening
pang. * Bad as he is, he surely has not fallen so
low. But come; we will assure ourselves beyond
doubt,” And, accompanied by his visitor, he softely
entered the chamber of hia child, The father, with

eug to fall upon the sleeping face, His boy's clothes
were muddy and torw’; a towel Iay upon the floor
Stained with the black that the guilty youth had
washed from his visage; while, half concealed be-
neath the pillow, was seen the stolen purse. Szizing
the pistol that rested upon the table, the wretched
fathor, before his friend could divine his purpose,
discharged jts contents at the head of his boy.
Monsieur M-——delivered himself immediately
into the hands of justive,‘and was on trial condemned
to transportation for life. ‘After serving ten years

The R. M. Bteamship Africa arrived here this morn-

will not commence fur months.
Thé Liverpool Mercury says :—'' Yesterday, for the
tirat time for more than two centuries, our evrporations
met frov from those fetters on conscience iniposed by
Parliament which sought to shat out Roman Catholics
from all public offices. The only remnant of the so-
called * josts" was removed last # wion, when the
Royal assent was given to Mr, Hadfe, 1's Qualitication
for Offices Abolition Bill,”

A grand review of the French army by the Emperor
Napoleon took place on the Stb in the Bois dy Boulogne.

‘The full text of Pope's elocution is publisked. His
Holiness re-ssserts in the most positive manver the
doctrine of the temporal sovereignty of the Pope, re-
news the protest aguinst tue annexation of the Papal
States, and denounces all those who took part in that

proceeding.
The Zea allocutions are said to have given the
Emperor Napoleou and his government great dis-

veasure and dissatisfaction, The declaratiun by His
loliness ‘that he was ready to suffer even death to
sustain the sacred rights of tho Holy See, and to seek,
if necessary, in another land, the security requisite for
the exercisein the best possible manner of his apostolic
mission,” {s interpreted in Paris asa public answer to
the late efforts made by French diplomacy to bring
about a reconciliation between Italy and the Papal
Government before the French troops leave the States
ofthe Church, ‘Fhe determination at which the Po
has arrived has destroyed the Inst hope of a reconeiili:-
tion between Italy and Rome,

The negotiations between France and Italy for the
apportionment of the public debs are stil! beg carried
on in Puris, and it is hoped that a conclusion satisfactory
to all parties will be arrived at.

The depariure of the French troops from Rome ia
said to have commenced, the sale of stores continues
ona large scale, and two regiments will have embarked
by Monday.

It is thought in military circles in Paris that the
Emperor Napoleon has a project of his own fer the
reorgunization of the French army, which he wiil pro-
to the special commiasion, and which wil! wost
certainly take the precedence of any other scheme sub-
mitted to thu Lody, At present, however, the Luperial!
plan, if it really exisia, has not been made known, but!
two projects by members of the commission has been |
a inatured te be at once laid before the Em-
peror. The first recommends as the basis of the new
organization that the whole of the contingent shall be
galled out each year; that a seleccion shall be made of
all the men fit for service, und those found to be unfit
shall be sent back to their homes. The serviceavle
men are to be divided into three classes—the first (0
replenish t:0 army; the secoud to form a movable
national guard, to be clothed, armed, frequuntiy
assembled, aud always ready fur service; and the third
class to form a stationary national guard, not armed,
und not wearing uniform, but liable to bo cuiled out
in time of war to fill up vacancies and to taku the
places of the first two classes. The second scheme is
of » somewhat similar character, but admi:ting no
exemption whatever from military service except for
physical defect or feeble constitution, certified by
responsible and competent authority. Marshal Me-
Mahon, governor-general.of Algeria, and Marshal
Baraguay d'Hilliers, have arrived in Paris tor the pur-
pose of taking part in the commission.

Close on the heels of the above information comes
the news that Russia is taking steps for the completion
of ber army—an announcement which has crented a
great sensation in Paris, aud Las given rise to the most
extrdvagant and algtming conjectures. The Paris
ournals genera!ly are silent on the subject, but La

France has always evinced a strong dislike to
England, and in the above quotation that journal im-
lies that England is acting in concert with Prussia,
ussia. and the United States, without France and
Austria. T'. Paris correspondent of the Morning
Herald contends that the only question now pending in
Europe is the Eastern question, which could never be
settled without oe. and that England could come
to vo arrangement in which France had not acquicsced.
The Pali-mall Gazette says that ** the strained and
dangerous state of affairs in Central Europe awakens
uneasiness ant dissatisfaction in high quarters in
‘ars. The Emperor Napoleon does his best to pre-
serve peace, but events go faster than his plans, He
cannot look with indifference on the total annihilatian
of Austria by her former allies, and the consequent
dangers to the countries in the East; but, on the other
hand, France is not pre for war—at least not
sufficiently .so m order to begin it with the certainty of
success. ‘Lhe exhibition, too, stands in the way, All
this, added tothe probable change of Government in
Spain, makes the pbsition a very delicate one.
The Paris correspondent of the Dasly News says that
** the fact of the treaty of alliance between Russia and
Prussia is now accepted by ne all the French press,
and the news reovived from St. Petersburg and Bectin
all tend to confirm it. The feeling in France towards
Prussia is move bitter.than ever, and even Russia is
now out of favor. This is attributable rather to the
coquetting of Russia with the United States and neg-
lecting to be equally civil to France, than to any real

4 walk of some four miles between Shediac und Point
du Chene, to exchange a ticket which was all right for
the trip. The passenger was not quite so verdant as
he Jooked, objected to the pedestrian exercise,.and
every time the conductor asked for the ticket, he was
answered, with a blank expression of countenance,
that if he would be ad kind as to return to Point du
Chene, he would find it all right. Between Shediac
and Sussex Vale—some fifty miles—there 1s scarcely
any arable land, excepting, of course, some patches
around Moncton. Qedar and elder, bushes—whose
sickly, yellow hue denoted the departure of summer—
aré the most productive crop, and the most congenial
to the soil. As speed was no object to me, and the
day being fing, I rather enjoyed the long cide dy ** rail.
Sussex Vale is about as handsome a spot as any one
could wish to see. - A: beautiful fertile valley, intersected
by numerous streams, and enclosed by lofty hills
whose summits are covered by oak trees, it enjoys the
reputation of being one of the most picturesque localities
in the Lower Provinces. Five years ago, when the
Exhibition and Shooting Match, in which the Island
marksmen gained the first great victory, were held
there, I spént a week in it very delightfully; but now
when the sounds of revelry, the rifleman's shot, and
tho busy hum of a vast throng were no longer heard,
I looked upon the familiar scene with enhanced

more gratefil to the senses than to behold a scene like
‘this, when the parting splendor of summer mingles

with the rich and yaried hues of autumn, which are
here spread out to the gaze in exuberant: profusion in
the foilage of the magnificent oaks which clothe these
encircling hills, After we leave Sussex, the appearance
ot the country changes. It assumes a mountainous
and rocky character, which reminds one of the de-
scriptions which travellers give of Switzerland or
Scotland. Lunestone rocks jut out from the surface
of the earth, which, while yielding scarcely vegetation

along this line of road industrial enterprise has con-
verted these stones jnto a source of wealth and fertility.
An extensive limekilo has been crected, and immense

New Brunswick is rich in. mineral wealth, which sooner

SINGULAR.

» Wun the'firat Napoleon, in the plepitude ot his

power aud glory, raised his sacrilegious head

against the feeble old man who oecupicd the chair
of St. Peter, and deprived him-of his liberty and
possessions, be little dreamt of the fate that await-
ed himself. Mankind génerally, may not, perhaps,
look upon his sudden fall and long exile at St.
Helena as the retributive strokes of Divioe justice
for his treatmeut of Pius VI.; but the sirict Ca-
tholice, who beholds the Providence of God in all
things, and believes in the punishment, even in this
life, of great crimes, the last days of the Great Na-
poloon are not without-a moral, Himself a pris-
ouer, and the successor of St, Peter, he now finds
the greatest conzolation in the practice of that 1e-
ligion, which, in the fall meridian of his glory, he
attempted to prostitute to his own selfish ends; and
almost io his last hours, he acknowledges in those
memoirs, writtea by him at St. Helena, that iu
quarrelling with and imprisoning Pius the Sixth,
he did violence to his own conscience. The case of
Napoleon is vot without a parallel, and if we felt
disposed to extend our researches into the history of
the past, we could poist to other instances where po-
tentates Lave risen up against the occupants of the See
of Rome, and the patrimony ot St, Peter, whose subse-
qnent career has beor oue of disaster and humiliation.
When we reflegt that the Papacy employs not physi-
cu! foree to protect its rights, and rests for its de-
fence upon the eternal principles of justice and the
uuerring word of God, we are forced to the conclu-
sion that its permanency is due to sumething more
than mere human agencies. From almost the very
dawa of Christida civilization down to the present

that the Russo-Prussian alliance is spoken of in that!
city, bat that is all, and that it has become a subject of’
conversation, not credited. It is rumored that a strong)

his life has been prolonged in pain of body and of

mind. He drags out a miserable existence, almost
incapable of exertion, denounced by his former par-
tizans, and forgotten by the noiseist of his admirers:
Siccardi, of iulamous notoriety, died frantic, and
was cousigned to the earth without Christian sepul-
ture. Cavour, whose whole life was an unbroken
career of intrigue and scheming, died mad, incapa-
ble of turning his thoughts to Seas for relief from
the anathema of the Church, or of:deriving conso-
lation from her sacraments, even if he were repent-
aut at the close of his career. Farini, a subject of
the Pope, became a violent enemy of the Holy See.
He joived heartily in all the schemes of Cavour aud
the Mazzinians for the aggrandizement of Pied-
mont by the spoliation of the Church, and he had
his reward. He became Dictator of Parma and
Modeva, where he gorged himself with pluoder,
and of Naples, where he no doubt did not forget his
own interests. Finally, he became Prime Minister
of Piedmont, and, having reached the summit of
his ambition, in an instant he was hurled to the bot-
tom by an invisible and inscrutable power, and be-
came a raving maniac. The history of the preseat
occupant of the Freuch throne is not without its
lesson, Wheu he first became President of the
French Republic, he found it necessary to assist the
Pope. The coup d'etat raised him to supreme
power, and by his diplomacy and skill, he not ouly
secured himself firmly on his seat, bus so directed
the affuirs of France as to mako hin influential
and powerful abroad, and conteated and prosperous
at home, Forgetful of the Mistery of his uncle, the
splendor of whose achievements can sever efface

—in an evil hour the third Napoleon takes sides

What the objects or ambition of the preseut Napo-
leou may be io interferiog with tho rights of the
Pope, or whether they correspond with those of his
uncle or not, the events of the past year unmistake-
ably prove that they are terribly shattered. His
restige threatens to leave him as suddenly as it was
acquired. In Mexico and in Germany, within the
ast few mouths, he bas suffered a terrible humitia-

tion, which speedily promises to eud disastrously for
his regime aud the interests of France, ‘The be-
ginning of the end is already manifest; and if, in
his old age, he should find himself bereft of position
and power, his adversity will not be sweetened by

the reflection, that when the chance was presented
to him to assist an oldman in defending the most

unalienable rights against unscrupulous enemies, he
not only failed to do so, but for reasons aud motives
known only to himself, he lent his influence and his

countenance to the spoliatora, It is superfluous tor

THE ELECTIONS,

Acconpina to the last Jslander, « Proclamation has
been issued, calling an election for the 19th of Decem-
ber next for those members of the Legislative Council
whose terms of service have expired. These are:
Hons. Messrs. Yeo and Ramsay, for Prince County;
Hons. Messrs. Henderson and Goff, for Queen's
County ; and Hons, Mesars. McDonald and Dingwell
for King’s County. ‘The nominations will take place on
the 12th of Deeember, So far, we have not heard of
any excitement having arisen in consequence of these
Elections, nor yet have we heard of any candivcates
being in the field for the vacant seats. The outgoing
Councillors are all auti-Confederates, and wo presume
they will have little diffieulty in securing their election,
The Confederates, except in one or two instances, have
cunningly abandoned the idea of putting avowed advo-
cates,of Confederation in the field. Their policy is to
sink their unpopular views as far out of sight as possi-
ble until after the elections, and, in the meantime, to get
the most pliaut touls they can—even under the guise of
anti-Confederates—into the Legislature, so that they
can work them round to their views and policy when
they think proper. This dodge is being tried in tho
several Districts; but we warn the people, if they value
their liberty and its accompanying privileges, to beware
of returning any such ** loose fish to be their repre-
sentatives, or they will find out, when too late to re-
medy it, the serious erforthey have committed. No
man should be elected except one whose past ‘history
will warrant the atmost confidence being placed in bim.
If anti-Confederates of that stamp are selected, no ap-
prehensions need be entertained of the Istand being
