although sbe.Ioves you so-execssively: it is not an hour
since law her. Oh, said hr, you make' me remember
my old happiness, but it is necessary, to forget her t# be
happy here- For several /ears I thought only on her, I
have at last been consoled—liiAve.taken another wife, as
much like her as-1 could find; she is not, it is true, so
beautiful; bat’she has as mudi good sense and -under*

of you. I pity you,said lie, for your misfortune, for she
is a good woman, and very amiable—Out there is the

against you, that would have stdl been better, for I have
always observed that when he advises any thing, she has
a very strong inclination to act the reverse. At these

SIjYGUIMI story.
By a tetter we (me received from France, we learn the
following very singular stoiy: "A strange circumstan—
occurred lately at Brest; a man in the last stage of
dangerous disorder, sent for a priest to give him extreme
unction—the priest lifter some conversation with the man,
told him, that he could not give him extreme unction
without he surrendered up the lands that lie.-tield, and
which belonged to the church previous to the revolution.
In vain did the poor man point out that he had purchas
ed them at fair valuation, and had a large family to be-
queath them to; th- priest told him, if he did not he
would be d—rd and go to hell; the poor man replied
he woqld not. give up the land, but take his chance. In
a few days he died, and was refused the rites of the
church or Christian burial, in consequence of his having .
died without receiving extreme unction,- and the priest llce ’
told his family that he was certain of going to hell, and
tjiat the devi) would come that night and take away his
$ody. The wretched family were dreadfully alarmed,
and ihby employed an old soldier‘to sit up all night and
watch the coipse, furnishing him with a bottle of wine,
bread and Cheese and a sword to protect himself.
At midnight the door flew open and in walked three
figures drCssed so as to appear like devils; they ’walked
round the room to try to intimidate the soldier,'but the
veterah whbhsfl never feared to*oppose an enemy was
not to bt: panic struck, hut broke silence, and accosted
them in these words: “You Mr. Devil?, if ontfuf you la; *
a-hand upon that body,! will cut it off.”
. After some time, one more courageous than the rest
seized Upon the feet ol the corpse, and another took
hold of the head; the soldier immediately made a chop
at the hand of the first, and nearly cut off his arm; the
other be (rounded on the shoulder; a scuffle ensued but
in a short time (lie devils disappeared leaving a large
quantity oF blood behind them which shewedthey were
human. *
The next day the family waited on the prefect, and re
laTCdToTiiih tms strange 'clrcumstanCe, wnen-he sent To;
the priest who bad refused to give him extreme unction
The priest returned for answer, that he was unwell, and
could not attend him: after several messengers had been
dispatched, without success, to inform he mutt come, a
guard of arjditrs was sent, who brought him up, sad he
proved to be the very person whom the soldier bad cut
across the arm; his accomplices have been traced out,
•rid they are all safely lodged in prison.”
