• V\ 1 J 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 in fact, every thing under the influence cf her sweet voice,’appeared like her own sou., ten der and innocent, and at tho same time that L . detested the cloister, yei to live with her and near her, appeared the extreme of human hap- ^ * She soon gipned all my ufloctio.is—a'l my confidence, and gave me m return her f<• * -sliip, strong and sincere. ^. e scarcj. y q erich other.

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. tail upon my father-and the dangers by which 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 which you owe to God. You have only to ap pear what you really are, ill and fever.sh, ai d when our good mother sees that you are una hie to eat as usual in the refectory, she will call me and desire that you have more air and ex ercise: she will then give me the key of the park as she always does when any of the sisters aro ill. The day on which your cousin lias ap 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 —tell him that you have not yet renouncedl your 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 kill to your ttiarriage. . “I feel." 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. Trembling, 1 consented, but scarcely had 1 as cended to the top, when lie seized me by the arms, and assisted by his valet-de-chambre. was carried down the other side dumb and in 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 God" that outside the walls ot the convent she I...,] jj U t one anxiety, and that was solicitude for ». welfare; .U. ter MWf Jays «"J S. my departure, she had done mtamg !'« weep for me, but that she trusted all was Wc. with me and that I was long ere this the hap py wife of my cousin, and that as to her, to make my mind perfectly easy, for the penance 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 a<ronv, her veil and her habits had been torn to tatters—her crucifiix broken, and the poor un fortunate lying on the scattered remnants. C ou"ht her by tho waist, and raised her towards ° Gracious God, what a meeting! bne stiff and cold, her right hand had tore her bosom—her'teeth, long and white, which her agonizingly contracted lips made visible, were buried in her left arm, which she had bitten in many places. At the same time her eyes, move less and wide open, appeared to fix their gaze upon my fi.ee. The signt was too much, and with an hysteric scream, I fell insensible, still holding her in my arms.

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.

Perhaps some statute reader; inquisitive book monger, or other busy body in some other part ot the otate might have made the discovery as well as a citizen of Au gusta. But we think we can see a reason why this onslaught comes from that quarter. It ufthat: a rival interest is sus tained there with all the energy, all the warmth and devo tion which could possibly characterise any community un- derheaven.

But so great is his popularity—so boundless his influence over his countrymen, that his proclamation was at tended to; and the meeting did not take place.

The Attorney General is to P r , ocee ^ 7 i.nt rx^tfficto—lhat is if the Grand Jury finds more such terms have been used unsparingly, but they are not, they cannot be applicable. The prosperity of the two lines are in the inverse ratio to each other. As one rises, the other falls, and especially does the success of our Cen- tral Road jeopardise the fortunes of the Georgia Roid. Un 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 tility of Augusta to Savannah. Augusta has wisely followed 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. From the CassviHe Pioneer. Our State Bait-Road.

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.
