The Graves of Paul and Virginia.

correspondent oil the Bdttsm0 ore
American thus dos"ribes the last
, reiing place OF the subjecI - pos
nsdin do St. Pierre's charming sIc
ry Paul and Virginia." near Port
Luis, Oh the Island Of Mauritius
On arriving at Port Louis, | start
ed for shore, and in company with
some friends took q carriage for the
tombs OF Paul and Virginia. On
leaving the town we entered on q
beautiful drive, over a fine road
and proceeded for several miles
very pleasantly. About six miles
from town we passed an old Catho
lie church, and from its antique ap.
Ipearance were induced to alight
and went in, but tho services were
over, though we amused ourselves
by examiSng its interior. Their,
were ..cNSra fine paintings and al
abanda,Sj of gold in aud about the
al's.r Au;-;iie rest of the church was
any lEi-g but fine.
Alter leaving the church we pro-
ceeded to tho cemetery, where we
were bodl pleased and interested.
After examining many of the
tomhs, vaults, &C., we got into the
carriage and proceeded further on
until we came to gate, which con-
lsisted Of two posts with pole across,
where we ,lighted. The first thing
that met onr view was q small sign,
upon which was written the words
-"lt is expressly forbidden to see
the tombS of Paul and Virginia. "
This, however, did not stop us. We
crosse this pole and went to house
some distance off, where we inquired
for the place the tombs were situa-
ted, and were very discourteously
told that they were behind the house.
We started ior tho place guided by
one Of the servants, sent probably
to watch us. We passed along a
narrow canal-like stream of water
for about 100 yards, when we came
TO one of the tonlbs, (Paul's) n small
brick monument; about tour feet
high, plastered over. Near this the
canal turned in the shape Of a horse
shoe, and on the opposite side was
Virgina's tomb, in all respects SINH
lar to the other. They are about
forty feet apart.
This spot is "A romantic and beau.
tiful one, could one believe the sto
ry and look upon this spot, he must
have q traly->bard heart not to be
affected by it. We remained about
half an hour at and about the tombs,
and although closely watched, one
of the party succeeded in getting a
piece os mortar of and p)ckcted it.

horo tel IA different story from the
tale written of Panl and Viginia.-
lt amounts to this. that u young
Frcnchman and his sweetheart,
eloped and got on board a vessel
bound to this place before they
coul get married; upon arriving
at the islanl terrible storm arose
and the vessel was wrecked. Paul
could have saved Virginia if she
had been willing to remove her clio.
thing, but this sho refused to do, and
as he would not leave her, both Of
them were drowned. When last
seen on the vessel, they were clasped
in each others arms. and when their
bodies were found they were in the
same position on the beach, more
than half covered with sand. Such
is the story on record, and l think
by far the most likely one.
