STRANGE STORY

A Paris correspondent of the St. Louis Repub
lican relates the following strange but interesting
story;
Several years ago, a rich miller, living in one
of the provinces, became so unhappy by the
death OF ilisHle, that placing his only child, a
girl only ten years OF age III a convent he re-
paired to a monastery near Paris, and became a
monk: during SIX or seven years he led q most
pious life, but from the gloom Of his CELL he
thought OF his daughter The desire to see her
grew so much upon him, that he at last resolved
to open a correspondence with her the answers
that he received 10 his letters were such as to re-
awaken all the affections of other days within his
bosom. The young girl, on her side, was no
less eager IL see once more parent whose ear
ly tenderness she still remembered. With a re-
! solution surprising to one of her age, she quilted
the convent, dressed herself in male attire and
sought the monastery in which her father resid-
ed. She there resumed the habit of the order,
and was named brother Robert. She was then
but seventeen years of age. She took care not
to reveal herself to her father until the irrevoea-
bic vow had been pronounced when al last she
followed him to his cell and told her story The
Joy he expressed at folding his dear child once
more to his heart, and the regret which her act
ofdeveton caused him. brought on fever hich
ended his life in a few DAYS.
The young girl found herself now in a situa-
ton which nothing but the religious education
she had received could have enabled her to bear
Deprived OF the support which the daily sight OF
her father would have given her, she valiantly
fortified herself in every possible way in order
to keep down the worldly regrets which arose in
her heart. She became the example of the con-
vent,and the sanctity Of Friar Robert was spread
around in all France. The most holy officers
were confided principally TO her; it was she
who was sent TO pray by the bedside of the ty-
ing, and to console the afflicted. But she did an
immense deal of good among the young girls Of
Paris whom the world and its pleasures had
drawn from the path Of duty. To these she never
wearled of talking her humility surprised them
the simplicity Of her soul and the sweetness Of
her voice charmed them completely and Frial
Robert rarely failed in bringing these wanderers
back to the right way.
At last however, Islander attacked the fair fame
Of Friar Robert, and he was accused of being toe
fond Of whiting female sinners. The Able o
the monastery imposed upon the pretended
brother; as penance, to serve the whole COM
munty, and to do the most repugnant and the
toughest work, She did all without murmur,
and during three years accomplished the rude
duties laid upon her without fa!tering in single
/ one.
Last week she died, and the remorse of the
| monks may well be imagined when if was dis
covered that it was sister instead of a brother
whom they hsd been Furnishing so long.
One more saint will now, doubtless, be adceC
to the already oyeriioWing calendar.

A NAME IN THE SAND.
EY HANNAH r. GOULD.

AloneI walked on the ocean strand;
A pearly shell was in my hand;
l stopped and wrote upon the sand
My name-the year-the day:
As onward from the spot passed,
One lingering look behind cast:
A wave came rolling high and fast,
And washed my lines away,
And SO, methought, twill shortly bs
With every mark on earth of me;
A wave of dark obliyion's sea
Will sweep across the place
Where have trod the sandy shore
Of time, and been to me no more
Ofme-my day--the name | bore.
To leave no track nor trace.
And yet, with Him who counts the sands,
And holds the water in his hands,
! know lasting record stands,
Inscribed against my name,
OF all this mortal part has wrought;
Of all this thinking soul has thought;
And from these fleeing moments caugh.
For glory, or for shame.

Only this once.


BY MRS. L. II. sIGOURNEY.
"Only this once!" the wine-cup glowed
sparkling with its ruby ray,
The bacchanalian revel flowed,
And folly made the madness gay.
Then he, so often deeply warned,
The sway of cons cience rashly sPurn'd,
His promise of repentance scorDed,
And coward-like to guilt returned.
"Only this once!" the tale is told,
He madly quafTed the poisonous tide;
With more than Esau's frenzy sold,
The birth-right of his soul, and died.
l do not say that breath forsook
The clay, and left his pulses dead;
But reason in her empire shook,
And all the light of life was fled.
Then angel eyes with pity wept,
When he, whom pity fain would save,
His sacred vow so falsely kept,
And strangely chose drunkard's grave.
"Only this once!" Beware! beware
Gaze not upon the blushing wine;
Repel temptatiOE's syren snare,
And pray'rful seek for strength divine.

Take IL Easy.


"Take it easy" nor despair,
Though your fate hath adverse been;
Though your lot you i'll can bear
Those who grumble rarely win.
What if fortune wears a frown,
Never Of the jade complain,
Nor be weary, nor cast down,
There is loss in every gain.
"Take it easy" never fret,
AT the shadows in your way,
Though the sun awhile may set,
1t will rise another day;
Though thousand cares among,
Every pleasure hath its bane;
There's grief for every joy,
And balm for every pain.
"Take it easy" though friend
Provost not friend indeed,
twill teach you in the end,
In your choosing to take heed,
Never such man uPbraid,
Mark! he is but worthless stuff,
There is that about the trade,
Which is punishment enough.
"Take it easy" nor rebel,
When one bluntly says "you lie,"
1t may suit his taste too well,
Should you in passion fly.
Let him prove it, if he can,
Spill no blood and spend no pelf;
Shouldyou prove the better man,
Then his words convict himself.
"Take it easy" husbands, wives,
Two can rule household well,
Each cOntentment may derive,
From the same oerfowing we'll.
Let the world no wiser grow,
Have you trouble! keep it dark;
Half your ills from fancy flow,
Flames are kindled from a spark.
"Take it easy" do not mourn,
That loved and cherished one,
Who life's thorny crown hath worn,
Hath in death brighter won.
What is gained by lightened years!
What, but care and weary pain!
While it reaches unknown tears,
Spirits feel that death is gain.
