TH2 THUN'S CJSJtL.
by h. symmes.
Every year, on the same day of the same
month, * Bpfeadid equipage drive* up m the
ruins ofthoonca wealthy convent oFMartbu won
near Paris, and a tall, majestic looking lady de
scending from the couch enters tne dilapidated
ceil of Correction, and does penance there tor
two hours. The cell of Correction is a small
cavern, about three feet long, and hut httle high
er than the ordinary height of a fein tie; and as
it is'dug out ten feet under ground, ne liter lno
fresh air nor the light of day can penetrate it.
The cause for the yearly penance oi tne stran
ger was long a secret to ine, but at lcngdi
learned the secret from her own lips, having be
come acquainted with her in consequence ol
her fainting and being carried into my house us
a pastor of tho village. I give the story in her
own words. . ‘ ,
•< I was born at Beauvais—nay m tn<-r died,
in briii' T ing mu it)to the world. My mUior, a
gentleman of fortune, holding a distinguished
position in the province, soon married again.
My step-mother at first occupied a good deal
of her time and care upon me, but when she
1)000mo a mother, she devoted herself 10 her
own children and her pleasures, and 1 was to
tally neglected.
“ I was just eight eight yea*s o.d when my
father was appointed guardian to a nephew]
who had within a very few months lost doth
his p irents. My cousin canto to rest >e with us.
The similarity of our tastes and a sort ot mel
ancholy common to both of us, together with a
feel in" of totrd isolation front the worid.soon
drew ^us toward each oilier with the warm and
lively friendship ofyouth. We pared 'of f
er all the hours we could steal from study,
* which dew quickly and happily away. 1 his
innocent affection alarmed not our relations,
oven at an age when it might change into a
deeper sentiment. It was perfectly understood
by us, that we should soon be separated ior-
My cousin had scarcely entered his eigh
teenth year, when one day my lather called
liim anJ announced that he had succeeded n
getting him appointed as a volunteer in a regi
ment, which was about embarking for India,
and that he must hold himself m readiness to
.join it the next day. My cousin basteued to
acquaint me with the fatal news. We each
wept cndeavor.ng to console the other, lie
embraced me, and made me swear upon my
missal that 1 never would marry another, at
least till he returned. I swore to him—the
next day lie was gone. -
My turn soon came—my stepmother enter
ed my room one morning, a circumstance quite
unusual with her. She talked something of
♦lie moderate fortune ol my lathe.-, r f the la
family which he now had, and that as he had n
•fortune to give me, lie had determined that I
should enter a convent, and as he' knew the
Abbess of Manbuisson, that I should be ther
received. This argument was unrepaed to
liy me, and eight days alter I was removed to
thoconven*.
Tbo usage at all the convents is, whet! a
young lady presents hersell who wishes to
take the veil, to attach to her during her novi-
cate ono of the sisters to instruct her in the
duties «'f the order, and ba as a friend and
•companion, to paint to her in glow mg colors,
tho peace and sweet nest of a religious lire,
contrasted with the disappointments and morti
fications inseparable from the world, Tne
companion and friend they gave mo was called
Sister Rose. Nothing could be more ^educing
than tho manners and appearance of tins inter
esting creature. To her, all the practices of
Telicion seemed easy and acceptable, and slie
appeared a living exemplification of sweetness
and virtuie. Charming girl—dearest object
of mv heart’s affections, long as life remains
.shall nw bosom heave with fund and affection
ate, remembrance of thee! Born to an illus
trious iarnily, poverty had served her for a vo-
* cation, ns it did with me, and she also entered
the convent in obedience to a father's mandate.
But her sweet and docile nature was more pba-
ble than mine. Her angelic lace ter mild
\ blue eyes—her quiet and impressive m inner

sweet voice,’appeared like her own sou., ten

And now, sir, you can xvtll understand the
deplorable event that brings .ne here, yearly on
the 13th of October. I carrc not to ask par
don of my beloved Rosa for the death which 1
had given her. Oh, no! foi certain am i that
in the midst of all her sufferings, her lips or
heart never breathed a single malediction aguins
me—but I come to pray tlat God who with
drew her from me, that he may be mercifully
pleased to unite us in eternity. I come again
to see that garden, those walks, and that clois
ter where together we have so oftenvowed eter
nal friendship, where together we have promi
sed to participate in each other sjoys and sor
row; unequal participation, which gav
all the happiness, while tho portion which a-
waited my innocent friend was a crue chastise
ment and frightful death.

1 should bo surrounded in following to a
strange country, a man who was not my hus
band. I mW in reply, that 1 was determined
never to become a nun-lhat 1 had been sacri- ™
fiord by my father—that my heart was devo
ted to my cousin with more than womani ■
love—that if 1 did not consent, he would kill
himself, and as to myself, that I should become
mad and die of grief. Rose entreated of me
to seek God’s assistance and comfort, and to
consider the subject calmly.
Thus passed three whole days. On the mor-
i" of the fourth, Rose came to me with a
more tranquil air. ‘My poor friend,’ said she,
‘1 perceive that the commands of our holy reli
gion, together with my advice, have not produ
ced upon you the desired change, but I have
thought of apian which will, perh a p3 conciliate
both your love for your cousin, and the duty

when our good mother sees that you are una

me and desire that you have more air and ex

pointed to see you, we shall go to the turret,
the door of which is never closed; you will there
be able to speak to him from the little window

vows, and that if he wishes you to take the re
ligious habit, that he must address lnmsell to
your father; and as your cousin is now neb, lie

she, warmly embracing me, that you wil leave
me; but I trust happily, and without disobeying
God—that thought at least will console me.
Such was the plan which the wisdom of twenty
two suggested, and which my ardent lore for
my cousin induced ma to adopt. .
As Rose had anticipated, the reverened Mo
ther noticed the alteration in my appetite and
looks; she gave us the key of the park, and eve
ry evening we walked there. 1 be fatal ay
you may judge of our inquietude. Ro se had
maintained her usual calmness and courage; but
I was more dead than alive. When we arri
ved at the turret, the door, contrary to custom
was shut and just beside it a high ladder was
placed against tho wall. Wo did not know
what to do, when my cousin appeared; lie was
about deconding to us, Men wei threwourselves
upon our knees, telling him if he did so we
were lost forever; lie desisted, on condition
that 1 would mount the ladder andspeak.to lnm.

sensible with fear. Three days afterwards we
were in Holland, where we were married. .
My marriage has always been a most nappy
one notwithstanding in the midst of the first day
of our union, one biller and affirm thought^in
terrupted my happiness, and that was the fate
of my cherished and devoted friend, Rose, who
had doubtless been accused as an accomplice
in my flight. To ray unspeakable joy, 1 one
day received a letter from her to the effect, that
she was well, and still happy in the service of

allotted to her, in consideration of aiding my
flight, was but a slight one—in fact, no more
than attending two hours, one day in each week
in tho Correction—that she considered the pun
ishment trifling to what she expected it would
be- further proof of the goodness and mildness
which at all times actuated the dear reverend
Mother. That the first time she was placed in

Clontarf meeting was to have been held on Saturday, tne
8th and the proclamation for dispersing it wis not issued
until late in the afternoon of Saturday; so late, that it was
impossible to apprise persons who had come from a distance.

have been brought to bear upon it Steamers had been hi-

right to subscribe oa the part of the State, $200,000 to the
Monroe Rail Road. It has been reserved for that writer to
raise a technical objection, which is supposed sufficient to
debar that interest from receiving any subscription on the
part of the Stale. It would appear that a set ot bays have
been at work in the business, that they have acted without
the slightest judgment or knowledge of business, and in snort,
the wonder is, that with such valid , reasons as are urged
against them ly the writer in the Augusta Chronicle &. cen-
ti«el, they should have been so silly and absurd as to make
such a movement. No doubt the individual subscribers
thought they were pay ing their money to some purpose, (we
should surely judge so by their complaints.) The city ot
Savannah, we suppose, nas some bona fide consciousness
that slie has paid her subscription without reference to tech
nicalities. We bad confidence here in the representations
of the Hon. A. H. Chappell and others, and thus far, they
have not forfeited their confidence ; albeit, the writer in the

lines are in the inverse ratio to each other. As one rises,
the other falls, and especially does the success of our Cen-

compromising hostility and opposition may therefore be ex
pected. It is natural, it is necessary. XVe are not uttering
any oftheold fashioned maudlin lamentations about the hos

out her own interest, and in the pursuit of that interest she
rejects all other considerations. It is a point gained how
ever, to know how we stand in regard to each other. Gov
ernor Crawford, if we remember right, was among those
who cast their votes in favor of the subscription; and we
bBouIiI question much whether any one less acquainted with
the merits of the case than he, is able to place him m the
attitude of having acted unadvisedly. 1 he Chronicle if
Sentinel "reuardt it as a connivance on his [Gov. Mc
Donald’s part, to defray the State out of that amount of
money. Such language appears to us not warranted to the
facts. Gov. McDonald has sins enough to answer lor al
ready, and we do not think him amenaole to the charge of
having, in this case, acted faithlessly.

El'evcn Reasons for Paying Debts.
THE CHRISTIAN’S REASO.N'S.
1. The Christian member of society, pays
his debts first, because he is ordered to do so
in the Bible, when we are told to “Render un
to Ciesar the things that are Cpars and to
God the things which are God’s, ’ and to “owe
no man any thing.”
2 The Christian hears the eighth command
ment every Sunday: “Thou shall not steal;
and defrauding a man of his due, is stealing;
for the tradesman lends upon iaitli and honor
and does not give. •
3. The Christian pays regularly nl. he otx es,
because he is a friend to justice and mercy.—-
wishes both to love unci succor liis neig |
bor and will not have the ruin of others cn his
conscience.
THE PATRIOT S REASONS.
4 The patriot knows that one act of jus
tice’is worth six of charity, that justice helps f lhe
the worthy and corrects the unworthy, while for ns
charily too often succors but the latter.
5. The patriot considers the evils that en
sue from clio more wealthy man, leaving his
neighbor unpaid; that by that means the steps
of ^tUe great ladder of society are broken the
first ruin beginning xvith the merchant, who
can no longer pay. his workmen, and continu
ing to the workmen’s child, who is oeprived ot
clothes, food, or instruction; or the aged father
or mother, left to die on a bed of straw,
6. The patriot also pays, because the sys
tem of non-payment to a certain extent, would
bring a general bankruptcy on the nation.
E MAN OF TIIK XVORLd’s REASON'S FOR PAY
ING HIS DEBTS.
■jf The man ofilie world pays, because he
is convinced that honesty is the best policy.
8 The man of the world pays, because he
knows that curses xvill go with his name if lie
does not pay, instead of good will and good
ords, which last he secures with a certain
class by paying. , , . .
9. The man of worldly calculation is aw are
that, by immediate payment of his debts as fast
as they are incurred, he purchases, peace ol
mind, and becomes acquainted with his income,
his means, and his resources.
10. The man of the world wishes lor a
comfortable old age, and knows that lie has
but little of it from his surrounding family un
less he train up his children in habits of oidei
and economy. . r
11. The man of the world knows the lull
force of the term, “ being an honest man
that it will carry him through political quarrels
and family disputes; and lie cannot make
that name if lie is the ruin ol others.
