DEPE4MIyEo TO BE MARRIED.

The following is an extract from work
recently published in Great Britain, called
Qulkerism or Tie Story of my Life. The
species of intrigue which it records is said
to be well known beyond the bounds OF
Quakerism-but it takes here pleasant CO.
lors from the quaint and peculiar modes OF
life in which it is acted:
was one evening, at large tea party,
introduced to a very beautiful young bride.
She had q large figure, well and most grace
fully formed the roseate hue Of her cheek,
and the soft brilliancy Of her downcast eyes,
were only equalled in beauty by the exqui-
sitely fair neck, and the rich dark brown
hair, banded in the smoothest Madonna
style on her lofty brow. Her dress was of
the richest dove-colored satin; and her Qua
ker cap, and neck-handkerchief folded in
neat plaits across her bosom, were Of India S
most costly muslin. The handkerchief was
attached to the dress by gold pin, with a
pearl head and the belt of her dress was
fastened in front by two more gold pins,
each with a diamond head. The bridegroom
was very small thin, awkward, ill-made
man: his face-trom which every morsel of
whiskcr had been shaved of-was white,
llat, and meaningless; and his dress, though
quite new, was badly made, and badly put
on; it was, however, strictly Quaker cos
tune. In the course Of the evening | said
to the lady who had introduced me, Glow
ever did that mean-looking little man man
age to get such lovely BRIDE p She smil-
ed, and answered, Strange as it may seem,

him, not he her. will tell thee the story.

sister was married and she was somewhat

handsomer, should have been passed by; so

DEATH IN PARIS OF A ROYAL DAUGHTER
THE MOGUL RACE.

The Princess Alma d'Eldir, a royal daugh-
ter of the Mogul race, expired in Paris on
Wednesday week, at the advanced age of
eighty-nine. Born in Delhi, in the lmpe-
rial Palace, her childhood was surrounded
with all the splendour Of Eastern sovereign
ty. Being one day at play upon terrace
Of the palace garden, which overhuEg the
river, she slipped from the embankment
and fell in. Carried by the swiftness Of the
tide soon beyond reach, she was mourned
by her family as lost. She was, however,
picked up by fishermen, who, at the sight
of her rich attire, and the jewels with which
she was adorned, Immediately seized her
as their prize, and bore her off to Chandler
mayor where she was given into the hands
of the French, to be held as hostage to Sc
cure the neutrality Of her relatives in the
war !hen going on between the French and
English. Meanwhile the recall OF the Cap
tain Bouchaud de Lafontaine, to whom she
had been confded, caused her to be brought
to France, where every honour was paid to
her, and every care taken of her education.
She was taken to court, and became an es-
peciaI favorite of Maria Antoinette, under
whose auspices she was placed in the con-
vent of Mount Calvary, and where she was
baptized, the whole court, with the King
and Queen assisting, in state, at the cere-
mony.
During the reign ofterror she was impris-
oned for daring to belong to an aristocratic
race, and condemned to be guillotined, hav-
ing had her hair already cut for the pur-
pose, when the overthrow of Robespierre
restored her to life and liberty once more.
The Empress Josephine took especial de-
light in her society, and Napoleon would Of
ten playfully declare his intention Of pro.
ceeding through Egypt to the conquest OF
India for the express purpose OF placing her
on the throne of her ancestors. On the res
toration fthe Bourbons, when intercourse
was re- established with the East, petition
was presented to Louis XVIII, for an IN
quiry into the existence of her family. The
result of this inquiry was the arrival in Par
is of the Sheik Goolam-M Mouth Oud-Din,
sent by Fei-iaz Alli-Khad, with express
commission to claim her at the hands OF the
French King, and to bring her back with
royal honour to Delhi. But here arose an
unexpected difficulty. The religion which
she professed, and in which she had been
brought up precluded all idea of her ever
being admitted back as member of her
family. In vain was every promise, every
inducement held out; nay, every threat
resorted to, in order to obtain even SEM
blance of change. Her hig gh soul rejected
with scorn the most alluring temptations,
and she preferred to live in the poverty and
obscurity to which both England and
France, with the basest meanness and in
Justice, had condemned her, rather than
swerve from the Christian faith The East
India Company, whose spoil her rich her
itage has become, has suffered her to die
without one single manifestation of interest
