DEATH IN PARIS OF \ ROYAL DAUGHTER
OF THE MOGuL RACE.

The Princess Aline d'Eidir, royal daugh-
ter of the Mogul la"e, expired in Paris on
Wednesday week. AT the advanced age OF 50.
Born in Delhi, in the Imperial Palace, her
childhood was surrounded with all the splen-
dor of Eastern sovereignty. Being one day
at play upon terrace of the palace garden,
which overhung the river, she slipped from
the emhankment, and fell in. Carried bv
the swi(tness of the tide soon beyond reach
she was monrned by her family as lost She
was, however, picked up by fishermen, who
at sight of her rich attire, and the Jewels
with which she was adorned Immediately sci
Zed her as their prize and bore FER of to
Chamdenagor, where she was givcu into the
hands of the French TO be held as hostage to
secure the neutrality of her relatives in the
war then going on between the French and
English. Meanwhile the recall OF the Cap
tain Bouchaud de Lafonlaiue, to whom she
had been contided, caused her to be brought
to France, where every honor was paid TO
her and every care taken Of her education,
She was taken to cont, an became an espe-
! clal iayorile Of Marie AnloiHelte, under
whose auspices she was placed in The Cou-
vent of Mount Calvary, and here she was
| baptised, the whole courl, with the king aud
queen, assisting, in state, at the ceremony.
During Tie Reign of Terror she was i'm

cratic race, and condemned 10 be auiIlotmed.
having had her hair already cut for the pur-
pose, when the overthrow of Robespielre
restored her to life and liberty once more.
The Empress Josephine took especial de-
light in her society, and Napoleon would Of
ten playfuIIy declare his intention Of pro-
ceeling through Egypt to The conquest of
India, for the express purpose Of placing her
on the throne Of her ancestors. On the res
toraion of the Bourbons, when Intercourse
was re-established with the East, petition
was presented to Louis A,NllI., for a1'iuqury
into the existence of her family. The result
of the Sheik Goolam- Mouhi Oud Din, sent
by Fei iaz Ali Khad, with express commits
sion to claim her at the hands Of the French
king, and bring her back with royal honor
to Delhi. But here arose an unexpected
difficulty. The religion she proIessed, and
in which she had been brought up, precluded
all idea of her ever being admitted back a:
a member of her family. In vain was eve

BY MRS. L. B. HALL.

WHEN I was a little girl, I was a fat.
merry, jolly dumplng, as happy as the
day was long. Every body prched nv
red cheeks, and ! waddlrd about with my
doll in my plump arms, finding fun in eve
ry thing, and fully believing that my doll
was as sensible as myself; and perhaps she
was, almost. But, though I had a natural
antipathy TO spelling-book, and no fond
ness for spending a long summers after
noon in poking a needle in an out of bit
of calico, though ! considered patchwork

ties, though was called a smpeton for

me supposed | was thinking Of nothing but

every word spoken in my hearing. And
many was the word impressed on my me-
moIy which the speaker forgot next mo-
ment. The talk around me was my real
education, as it is of all children, send
them 10 what school you may.
When | was ten years old, | had one
sister aged fifteen, and another seventeen
and, as usual with girls of that age, they
had set of cronies, some very like anc
some quite unlike them in character. One
afternoon, as was tending my coll Ophe,
liza, who was sick in bed, heard brisL
discussion among these girls, which, I may
almost say, decided my fate for life.
The first words that caught my attention
came from an animated, romantic girl O
sixteen; scolding because the heroine of
novel she had just read was left unmarried
at the end of the story. What surpris,
was expressed at this catastrophe !-wha
indignation
One of my sisters did not seem TO sym
pathise with this burst of disapprobation
and then came the pithy question, "What
would you be willing to die an old maid (!
Mary said very quietly, "Yes !" and siste
Ellen added, $50 would !"
Then such looks of amazement and in
credulity. "You can't mean what yo
say," cried one. ''If | did not know yo
