AROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.
An Eyentful and Remarkable Per
sOnal History.

The following marvellous and interesting mar
rative is given in letter from Paris, under date
of the 18th January last, from the correspond
ent of the St. Louis Republican:
The venerable Abbess of the Ursuline Con-
vent of Nevers, whose life was perhaps one of
the most eventful on record died last week at
the advanced age of ninety weight. For fifty years
she has been an inmate Of the Convent, winning
the love and respect Of all @ho approached
her.
In the summer of 17G2, there broke out at
Paris disease very similar to what is now call
ed cholera, and which quite rs fatal In ITS
consequences.-A Although not contagious, the
Immense number of persons attacked by it led
the people to think it was so, and terror took
hold Of the minds Of all. Mothers abandoned
their children, wives their husbands sisters their
brothers, and almost as many perished by flight
as by the disease itself. In two months thirty
one thousand persons were buried in the differ
ent burial-grounds around the city.-The hos
pitals were crowded-so crowded that the physi-
clans and nurses passed with difficulty among
the beds, and the demand for admission was so
GREAT that every day long file of sick might be

Early Musical Education in Germny.
[FRoM SOUVENIRS OF A sUMMERIN GERMANY.l

In visiting the school at Schwalbach, tho first
| room 'so came to was that of the girls, who were
all learning astronomy. a strange preparation,
thought l, for the after-life of Nassau female.
Who would think that the walking masses, half
grass, half woman, one meets every day in the
fields and lanes would be able to tell whether the
earth moved round the sun, or the sub around
the earth, or if the moon were any bigger than
their own reaping hooks? We asked tho master
to allow us 10 hear them sing. Great was tho
light of the little madchens when this request
was m lde known; there was an universal bright
ening of faces and shutting Of leaves; the ped
agogue took down an old violin from peg where
it hung, and accompanied their sweet voices, in
simple air, which they sungi in parts and from
the notes.
The next room, was full oflittle boys between
six and eight years Of age. They sang a hymn for
lis, tie simple words (which were very touch
ing. As stood behind one dear little fellow,
"hardly higher than the table" understood
how it was that the Germans were nation of
mu>icians, ard that in listening to the rude song
of the peasants at their work, the ear is never
shocked by the drawing, untaught style of the
same class of people in our country. From the
time they are able to lisp they are made to sing
by note. My little friend in the ragged blouse,
and all the other children had the music, as well
as the words they were singing, in their hands,
written on sheets Of paper they followed the
time as correctly us possible, marking with their
little fingers on the page the crochets, quavers,
rests &c.
At Leipsic, the most un-Euglste trait gath
cred during my speculations at the window this
evening, was group of little boys playing in
the grass-plot outside. They were all poor, and
a few stockingess and were engaged in some
uproarous game when in the middle Of it, the
little urchins burst into the most harmonious
melody, each taking his part, soprano, tenor,
bass, &C., with exquisite correctness. saw
them jump up, and linking each others arms in
true schc e-boy fashion, sally down the street;
vociferatrg their song in such time and tuno
that but formy initiation into the mystery at the
Schwabach school, should have started at them
as so many little wonders. What a delightful
system is this music as early and indispensable
a branch of education as the A. B. c.

the TAILOR came to announce that the moment
had arrived to say their last prayers.
Madame Soulie stood by while the chains were
knocked off; she knelt and prayed with the priest,
who had been sent to accompany the prisoners
to the scalfold and then she took an arm OF
each of her beloved boys and left the prison with
them. They could not help plying those two
handsome youths about to be executed, but tears
ran down the hardest cheeks at the sight of that
noble mother, still in mourning for her husband
and two eldest children, and now accompanying
her two remaining SONS to death. She ascend
ing the sc.tfold with them, embraced them ten
derly, offered Up short PRAYER with them, and
then allowed herself to be led off by a friend
But she was not out of hearing when the shouts
Of the multitude announced to her that all was
over.
Well, in '95 she was herself condemned to
death, on the charge of concealiug her brother
in-law, ii political prisoner who had escaped from
prison. A second time she mounted the scat
fold, and was preparing to die, when all order
came for her release. She then retired to a lit
tie farm she owned near Blois, soon after mar
ried her daughter to a man every way worthy OF
her. But misfortune was to be her lot through
life. Her only child, all that fate had left he7
to love and cherish, died in childbirth, eleven
months after her marriage.
1t was then that Madame Soulie turned her
eyes towards the cloister After considerable
delay she was received into the Ursuline Convent
of Nevers and in 1925 was made Lad Abbcss,
which place she held until her death. Her last
moments were soothcd BY the presence Of many
of those upon whom she had conferred her ben
etits and charities, and she died as calmly as an
infant falling to sleep, her lips sealed to the c:r
cifx, and her eyes turned to that heaven to which
Certainly, i affections accord the right to enter,
she had won.

Young Nen.--The idea is prevalent in sonnc
communities, that young men are fit neither for
generals nor statesman, and they must be kept
in the back ground until their physical strength
is impaired by age, and their intellectual facul-
tics become blunted by years. Let us look to
the history Of the past, and, from the long list
| of heroes and statesmen who have molly distin-
guishel themselvs, we shall find that they were
young men who performed those acts which
have Won for them an imperishablc need Of fame
and placed their names high on the page of his
try. Alexander, the conquerer of Greece, Egypt
and ASIA died at 49, Bonapartc was crowned
Emperor Of France when 3s years of age Pitt,
the younger brother was about 20 years of age
when, in Frtian's Parliament, lie boldly advoca-
ted the cause of the American Colonies, and bit
% when made Chancellor of the Excheqiiet.-.
Edmund Burke, at the age of 25, was the first
Lord of the Treasury. Our own Washington
rs when he covered the retreat of Braddock's
defeat, and was appointed to the commander-in-
chief Of all the Virginia forces. Alexander Ham,
ilton at 20, was a Lieutenant Colonel and aid to
Washington; at 25, member or Congress; and
at 49, Secretary of the Treasury. Thomas JEFF
frson was but % when he drafted the evermem-
orablc Declaration of Independence. At the age
Of 80 years, Sir Isaac Newton occupied the me
chanical chair at Cambridge College, having BY
his scientific discoveries. rendered his name i'm
III ,rtal.
We will add that John Rutledge was but 26
years OF age when he went to the first Contin-
entail Congress. Edward Rutledge was but "a
when he went to the Congress of HIS. John
c.. Calhoun was but 26 or 27 when he was the
leader of the House of Representatives, and
was mainly instrumental in establishing our ma
tiorai:ty through the war of 1912. Patrick
Henry was "a rash Youth" when he wrote his
resolutions, which were destined to rcvolutionizc
America. 1t is no sin to be young, however en-
vous it may be.
