Ho''ier says: Mrs. Catherine Gray, u
widow lady. eighty years Of age. residing
in the southern part Of the town, was
burned to death last week under circunl-

ter: On Thursday evening she invited a
little boy in the neiyhborhood to keep her
company for the night, and, after tucking
him warmly under the covers, knceled
down, at the bedside to say her: prayers:
While in this position her dress took fire
from the candle, and in an instant she
was invc!oped in flames. The fire COM
municatcd to the curtains Of the bed, and
intent on the preservation of the child
and forgetful O.! herself, she fought the
flames until her, hands were burned to a
blister, and succeeded in dra agging the little
fellow into the middle Of the room
The at1rigbteds boy broke from her EN-.

convent of Marseiiles US a :"postulant.",

convent OF NlaTSelileS Us "p0stulaDc.L
Six months after that, fatal day, just ss
the time for her to take her VOWS was ap.
proachlng. her family was pleasantly start
led by d letter from their daughter, infor.
ming them tina: she had altered her mind
and wished to go back to 'them,' to the
worl.l |, to pleasures, to happiness. For the
last thsee nights, she said, she had seen
in her dreams, her. beloved Charles, en-
treating her, with tears in his eyes, and
the sweetest voice, not to fulfill her terri.
bic resolution, not to complete sacrifice
which would BE- the death of them both.
For Charles was yet alive, and would soon
be back to keep his sacred promise, and
end all her griets. The nuns Of the con.
vent had, good humoredly, laughed at her,
and tried2to persuade 'Eer to stay among
them, in that quiet retreat, where she
might, undistulbcd, lament. all her lite,
the dear companion Of her youth. For he
was dead, said they, and it was foolish to
believe IN those supernatural apparitions.
But she was :unshaken in her faith, and to
all their entreatics she: wonll answer that
her betrothed would sooa. be back, and of
course she must be at home to receive him
Although the parents ot the young ''pos-
u'ant' did not believe, any more than
the nuns, that such u strange dream would
ever bc'realized, they were SO much glad
dened by the. letter Of their daughter that
they decided not to say one word cum
deceive her She might go on, from day
to day, hoping all the time for an. arrival
which would ncver take place, and by lit
tie. and, little they thought the deep wound
Of her heart night be healed tn.:A =, syo'
= Accordingly ON that Very day they went
to, the convent, and in less than one hour
their only child was crossing again the
threshold OF 'he old family mansion. Her
first thought was for her little room, where
she had ggathc: ed SO many dear tokens and
souvenirs from her Cousin. She hastened
up stairs, and went SO fast that her delight
ed parents could hardly follsw her. But
when she was on the landiog, whom did
she see standing in the door Of that room,
50 long shut up? Charles, her af6anced,
who looked at her, smiling with happiness,
ana opened Lis arms to clasp her to his
BOSOM" "'''; - .''' '-'''.'
It:was no longera dream. Charles held
her locked in his arms, kissing her and
min:gling his tears with her own. But
when he opened his arms again to receive
the caresses Of her parents, she sunk and
dropped heavily on the floor: ~
She was tead! dead with surprise and
happiness dead without uttering one cry,
without heaving one sigh! ,... 49,.

Remarkable Love Story--Death
from Excess Of. Joy.

A late number Of the French Psyche
has story of love affair which has deep
ly moved the whole population of Mar
seilles, but will hardly be credited by per-
sons who do not believe in supernatural
apparltions. However, here is the story
in as few words as possible: r.
Charles r born in wealthy fami-
ly Of merchants, and an orphan from his
childhood, had been brought up at his un-
cle's, with a cousin whose beauty, sweet
ness and graces never failed to prodncc' a
lasting impression on all persons Of her ac-
quaintance. tis consequently not at all
surprising that Charles r., who had grown
ur in her intimate society, should have
fallen deeply in love with sush fascinat-:
ing cousin. y Nor was his love unrequitcd;
for, when the proper time came, she deci-
ded with the consent of her fa nily, that
their marriage should take place as soon as
he was twenty years Of age. just about
that time, his uncle having received from
Calcutta the news of the failure of a. house
with which he was carrying on an cxtens-
i've business, sent the young Charles to that
distant port to. effect liquidation. The
marriage was necessarily postponed, and
the young lover left Marse,lles, promising
to write as often as. God and the ocean
would allow, and to return as soon as his
business was settled. :" ''' .
% Four months passed on, and no news
came from the young traveller His rela-
|tions, and more particularly his cousin, be-
gan to feel uneasy, and wvrc already accu-
sing him Of neglect when one unhappy
day they read in the papers Of {, the fatal
loss Of the steamer on board Of which they
knew that Charles had gone. The young
Marseillaise was almost mad with grief =;
aud after a long and dangerous sickness the
poor girl disheartencd, seeing before her
nothing but a complete blank, resolved to
spend the remainder Of her life in d con
vent, toImeurn, far from the world. for the
only man whom she had loved. It was in
vain her parents tried to dissuade her from
that resolution. Alltleir entrcatiess, their
misery, their tears, could not induce her to
