such Is LIFEn-One day last week,
carly in the morning, that miserable CON
veyance, which takes the poor friendless
dead to the City Cemetry at tile City'S
expense, halted in front of house III q
street Of the southern part of the city.
The driver alighted from the wagon, cn-
tered the house, but appeared again soop
after, carrying, in company with another
alike disinterestcd looking man coffin
made of rough boards. The coffin was
placed on the Wagon, and it made speed
over the deserted streets towards the
cemetery.
Not one followed the wagon with a
sorry look-not one stood at her grave
with feeling heart, when the earth fell
upon the coffin; aud yet, this coffin con-
tans the corpse Of lady, who orce was
adored by hundreds-Who once was hon
ored, extolled, envied in socicty-who
could command riches, and who. but a
few years ago, before she trod the shores
of this continent. could expect happy
and contcntcd old age.
This lady was Rosa Ncschcm;, tic
daughter of an immensely wealthy Polish
Nobleman In early youth she was ia

where, in her 18th year, she was married
to French nobleman, who was also very
rich. Rosa Ncchemi lived many long and
happy years, partly upon the possessions
OF her husband, partly travelling through
Germany, Spain, Italy, and England, and
gave birth to three sons, who received
the best education and upon whom the
eyes of the parents rested with great
pride.
"But then, the July Revolution at Paris
came, Rosa'S husband took consiGe bic

fell from the effect of three shots which
he received. His name is namc is still
honored with place on the column in
the Place dc la Bastile.
