GOULD* The following little story w drawn, as a fine silver thread, from among Lite many of u sadder mi l more fe trial uue, mat make up me crimson cord of the history of tnnt bloody period, the reign of terror iu France. It is given in Die writings of a French author of veracity, concern iug the event* 01 taut day, from whom it is nere rather recounted man translated. Among toe unionunate persons, who were cast into the prison* of Bordeaux, to utvuit men turns ut the guillotine, should it plcuse those inhuman monsters in me hum-m lonn, ilcoc** pierre, and his associates in cruelty, to rind mem guilty of opposing their designs, by standing in their way to rule, was Henri Delorbe. an inhabi tant of the city, and a young wan of burtfi and fortune. In the person of De lorbe, a striking beauty of face and form, and a noble lieuritig and winning grace of deportment, weru unued with aridity cu dotved mind and high-toned virtuous principle.-. The horror* of hi; silttitics and impending late paying oil his spirits, and the miasma of the prison infusiug poison into his fruiue wnh every Breath, proved too mucntbrbispoysical energies to resist, ‘The spirit of n man may sustuiu his infirmities, but a wounded spirit who can bear/’ Nature's forces in the constitution of DelorOe, sapped by his accumulated ills, were made tor u while to’succumb, lie was brought low inn sickness, anil thought near to death. In this state of prostration and lau (ui.diment. it was permitted him to be removed from his ceil to the hospital where the devout Sisters of Charity lent U;eir truly bene volant and Clurwtain serv.ee*. attending on the sick, relieving their wauts tuid closing the eyes of the eying. It fell to the lot of Delorbe to have his minis tering angel appointed in the form of the young Sister Thciese; a fair, compassionate, seh sacn- firing girl, who, huviug renounced -me world,' and me two other persons of tint federal head of wickedness, which occupying the human heart is the nucleus of so iiiuclt evil, feit only a single de sire to carry out the principles of her profession into action, while she watcaed over the auliering, endeLvoring to soften their pains and to keep lip the faint and flickering flame of life,—or, wuen it must be so, smoothed the pillow of the uy- ing. The gentle nun had never heard of the history of Cnuid and i'sycue and their near alliance; not, Ciough she owned that she liud a heart 'desperate ly wicked,' had she suspected it of having a vul nerable spot, where a random arrow from the lit tle, busy archer, reaching her uuawares, might •trike and enter, and bary itseif beyond die pow er of extraction. The pleasing external of the young stranger had nt first won her notice and drawn outlier •ymputhy towurds iiiiu in his sutfering stale.—But as his character disclosed itself, and he recounted to her his misfortuues und hi* fears, compassion completed what a tender interest had begun ill the bosom that had never biispectcd itseli ol be itig susceptible to any but a heavenly love; while Tiiorese resolved to do all within her power to re store him to file and health, and men to effect ins escape from confinement and peril, if the wits ot a nun c’ould devise the menus.—And she had not only 'charity, watch hop’tsth all things,' but nUo, ingenuity to 'seek out many inventions. Her fuith and work* are ut lust blessed iu mani fold signs that the disease had run to its limits,and was giving wav, subdued by the superior powers in the con hitudotf of her pu;ieul. dut her own heart hud become agitated by a strange uneasi ness,—the seat of a new malady, which the pliysi- ciuus do not reckon with the sell-1 uiiied diseases, or number among those within the sphere ol their medical practice; and ubuut wmc . me metaphy sical talk very clearly und wisely while they cun neither solve its nature, calculate its duration, prescribe un antidote, nor resist its utiacks. Vet, among her most earthly Mouglits, T’herese admit ted not die possibility of her ever seeing Delorbe beyond the wull which then enclosed them, should bo recover, and regain his liberty She only wished that lie might go lortli to life and liberty, while she remain id belaud, ‘dead 10 the world, but 11 live to memory and self-denying bouificence, -to think of him; aud if this were sinful, to re pent, get absolved, uiul t en go on and sin again. Yet, at tlie same time, like ugoud little nun, she shuddered ut tho thought ol letting her consecrat ed heart run so for astray, as to fusion its hc ven- devoted string! ou any earthly object. Nor did ■he let tbe secret ofher bosom escape in word or dee 1, or look. She kept ner sentiments to herself an I govs her attention. uud her services to her dt ti 11 and her cuange. Meantime tiie soft sensibilities of tlie muladc had uot. been deadened or idle under the cure of hit gentle nurse. “Painnee," says one student of tho human? affections, “is the art of hoping." Tniswas confirmed in the diligent eudeuvorsof Theresa to revive the object of her kiuJness, and to sot him free. "Hope," says another, "is tlie dream of a waking inun." This, also, might have been pronounced true concerning the invalid, cou'd ins thoughts Imve been read as they passed unuttered through his nfnd. Strange •# it may teem to those, who do no*nmhr'atand hotv wildly and perversely the •» ward * cart will sometimes take if upon Ikulf to act i i epeu lentlv of the reu.-oninghoad, while Delorbe was vet uncertain whether he was vir- tut ly a beheaded m in or not. but certain that his ■lenethctres* had renounced the world professed •lerself dead to earthly attachment,’ Ills liffllt had warmed its With new’ vitality beneath her care, and was shooting out it young a flections after her. like the roots of an air plant, that' grow with out ground, and live upon the wind that shakes diom. But he, too,had learned, "a wise man -tmredi his longue,” especially in a care like his (if indeed he overbad i predecessor);and he opt silence, .not allowing an intimation of the tru li too<c .pe concerning his penchant for file ir recluse. Tiiorese had now fixed on a time and a way o bring about his liberation. He was sick und in prison, and she had ministered unto him.’und now would she 'throw open the prison doors to -itn (h it tvas bound,* not forgetting, flint, while it was enjoined on her to do file one filing, it tvos also her instruction 'not to leave the other undone. 5dm. to do this latter good, become necessary for .er to confide her plan to n third person, and to enlist his assistance in carrying it out to success.

The next day, Therese being questioned, threw herself upon the merev of her superiors, and confessed t ie whole truth, a* to her stmt.icem,witli so much candor and apparent comrilion for the offence, and such prote-ta.ion« of the piety that le i her to t ike such a course, that she tvas iorgiv* e i. witliont penalty.
