In the - Convent called "Les .Dames Aug laises," in Paris, there were, some year ago, two sisters. great beiresses; - who b:.d from their earliest years known no oche home than this Convent, no other mother than the mother Superior. There was a great difference in the ages of these sisters. near upon six years; but they loved each other as though they had been of the mane age, and sympathized with each other not only as friends and sisters, but with an in fusion of the maternal and filial feeling which the difference in their ages naturally gave rise to. CM EIEI Virginie and Elise de Rennepont had lost their mother in their infancy. Their father, a man of fashion,..and still a young man, not- knowing what to do with them, had placed these two girls in a convent, and then left them, forgetting the years as they passed I .y, though fully intending that, at a proper age, he would find for them proper husbands. His intentions were excellent, but it was not permitted he should carry them out, for just as Virginie attained a marriageble age, M. de Rennepunt was taken from plane and projects ..00 ta.oi or.sol,- his wife in u spice did marble monument in Pere la Chaise. M. de Rainetmot,.however, left not only a large fortune. but a will, and "by Chi's wili be einistituted his intimate friend and coin , ',anion, M. le Comte de Prevail, their guar dom. Now, it had been one of M. de lien• import t's weakne-ses to forget to, age, rather to deceive himself us to the aw.,unt of years that had elapsed since he really wit , a young man. lie had never contemplated being inure than thirty, and when, by force of circumstances, he was under the necessity of acknowledging thirty-five he determined irrevocably to go no further. Ode way of indirectly asserting his youth was to fre quent the society of men, not of his own age, out of the age he desired' to be; so it hap petted that 31. le Comte de Prevul, the oh isen g iardian of it girl of twa.ty •utd another of fifteen, had not yet attained the respectable age of thirty. Of course. it was impossible that the young girls could reside with sw•h a guar dian; there was, therefore, uu hope fur them but to remain in their Concept until sorb rime as a oui able hualand should unbar the Convent gate and introduce them at last to the world. As it was, they were as ignorant as chil dren of society. Virginie, the ehle-t, who was of a romantic turn of mind, and of an amiable, loving disposition, had gratified it by a passion to devotion to her siwer.— This, however, did not prevent Virginie from dreaming. fancying and imagining what her husband was to be, who was ti 1 e the great liberator; and not-havingseen aDy wie else, it is scarcely to be wondered at, that from the very first moment she fell in love with M. le Comte de Preval, her guar dian. He, however, was a thor , ioeh man of the world; the idol of s.. many IN-,mien of beauty, fashion and reputation, lie only smiled'eomplacently to himselfswhen he dis covered beyond doubt the passion be had inspired. "Really." said he to himself, "I pity the poor thing, but the idea of my marrying a little awkward ,seho..l girl. tolerably good looking, to be sure, and w.th a large fortune, too, would be too much of a sacrifice. Pour thing, I must get her a husband." But in this undertaking the all-conquer ing M. de Preval failed.. The gentleman he brought to the Convent parlor expressly to fall in love with Virginia, foil in lova with her sister, and in six weeks married her. "And now, Virginie," said M. do' Preval, on the wedding-day, when ho was looking his best and doing his best to be most fas cinating, "and now we must provide a hus band fur you." -"lamin no hurry." • . • .• "Aye; but, Virginia, the husband I would propose is one that I think you would not refuse; he is even equal to your ideal, and ho would have no other object in life - than to devote hiniself to you. Shall I goon?" Virginia looked down and blushed, and M. de Pram! passed his fingers through his hair and smiled; he knew that Virginie ex pected, and his vanity was not mistaken, for she did think that he was at length about to make the long•looked-for and much desired proposal. "Go on, las listening." murmured she. "Then the person I would prop►4s to you i. Monsieur de Villeneuve, a charming rep resentative of a good name." "Ohl" exclaimed Virginie, hiding her emotion with a hysterical laugh. "lot 134 carry the joke no further; I never intend-to marry: my sister's family is now mine." Fate, which settles all things fur the he.t. brought all things not right. Fortunate. indeed, it was, that Virginie did not marry. fo- shortly after the birth of r. little girl. Elise and her lt.hand were drowned in ti b miing party, and Virginia indeed.-became the head of her sister's fa:nily and the mother of her child. All the relations .that remained to lioy orphan were her niter and her zra f ither: hut tot seaeehe vrnA the repre+ee•a ti e of all they had to lore. and in an at asourhere of • tenderneea was the child brim zht up.

COLUMBIA, PENNSYLVANIA. SATURDAY MURNI.NG, DECEMBER 3, 1 a girl as could be seen. Endowed with quick intellect, sound good sense and &heart gold, it is no wonder that every one lured ur that her aunt Virginie especially adored her. There were, however, more than aunt and niece; they were friends and companions. After all, Virginia when Caroline was sev enteen, was only a little over thirty-nine, and having preserved her simplicity and ro mance of character, perfectly sympathized with the tastes and fancies of her young niece. Virginia Rennepont, too, was a handsome woman, somewhat now on a large scale, but looking perfectly queenly and majestic; thanks to the rich and elaborate style in which she indulged. She possessed, besides, fifty thousand francs a year. It was therefore not to be wondered at if she was perpetually receiving offers to change her maiden state. But poor Virginie's heart was faithful to Preval, especially as she knew he led a mi&- erable, solitary life, in a small house in the Faubourg St. Honore, a prey to the gout, deserted and forgotten by his friends, and with a fortune as imraired as his constitu tion. Since the death of her sister she had never spoken to him; but one of the pleasures of h..•• life Nits to watch an old-fashioned cab riolet, in .which V0;14 esie m+ed an old beau driving a broken-down white horse, us she drove through the alleys of the Champs El% -ee.

They p:iiiceeied from the Rue de la ehausse d'Autin, where they lived, down the Rue de la Poix. and crossing the Rue Rivole, entered the garden of the Turneries. As they w-nt along they talked and laughed, admiring the Yarinu., shops, and perfectly conscious of being admired like two merry girls. when all at mace Candine, planing her hand on her aunt's arm as she wag al), iln descending from the Terrace des nuillants into the Grande Alice, said to her: " r want to walk on thi. terra: e 4" '.oa ibis terrace Caroline, here is no ES "Yes, tilers is uue person, is that not enoush?" .

"I love your neice, Caroline," said he, -but my respect for her equals my af- fection; and, although our acquaintance wit begun .at various parties where we net this winter, and afterwards continued hy letters, she would nut consent to its ountittuanee till 1 had seen and spoken to you." Now this was a proper and most prosaic speech, but it had a strange effect uvun Virginia, fur she replied to it by a flood of tears. "Of course I suppose Curuliue must mar rai "That is your intention, of course?" "No; it was her grandfather's intention Well?" "I know M.

"Oh, this is very singular!" said Virginie; `•but it's all right, very right." "Oh, yes, dearest aunt." So they talked, so Virginie listened, un til at length the young man left them at their door.

"Ah!" exclaimed Virginie. bitterly. "my reign is over. You are an ungrateful girl. Caroline." "Ungrateful?" "Yes.

Every by dy marries." —Everyhod y?" "Ye-t—everybody who can get any one to have them." Upon this Virginie went off into hyster ics, and Caroline, frightened and repentant, throw herself at her feet, implored her for giveness, and clasped her in her arms. In the midst of these scenes M. Page re turned from Pontainblen—returned en chanted with his visit—and in a few days M. le Vicomte Anatole de Gase was re ceived in the house as an accepted lover. M. Page was enchanted with him, Caro line desperately in love, whilst all her friends congratulated her and her future father-in-law. General Comte de Gase pro claimed everywhere that his son had found the pearl of wives. All was rejoicing and happiness; Virginie alone was wretched. Ever 611 the watch she strove, even in spite of her better judgment, to excite MB pici,.n in Caroline's ••hn't it rather late today?" she would say; or, -Don't you think his manner is changed?" or, •'1 wonder whether he has a good temper? All, Caroline, when one has been petted as you have—however, I sup pose it's all right." Caroline, who saw through all these inatice.uvres, only laughed, and soothed her aunt by planniog out their future life. '•We shah be as much together as ever, aunty dear. You know I shall live near you. We can walk, shop, and visit togeth er, and our evenings we eau always spend angel her." - Well, it's all right, I suppose," Virginie would reply; yet she still fervently prayed that s thing might occur to break the marriage, and must cordially dad she take to hating M. de 0111 , 86. One evening M.A.untole de Gase was waited fur in vain. A formal note to JI.

Vir ginie; —this is tOU 111311011. too much." And its she uttered these words she fell down in 11== Assistance was soon. procured, but Vir ginie's state was. really, fur some time, alarming. At length she came to herself. On beholding all the family around her, she uttered a shriek mid hid her face in her bands. Caroline stooped down to her. "Do not be unhappy, aunt, all is broken ..ff; 1 am going to speak to Anatole for the hest time." Caroline took Anatole into the second drawing•room, remained a few minutes with him, returning, to the sofa where her aunt lay she male hint a low curtsey, and Messfs. Gast), father and son, left the room and he house About the middle of the night Virginie, who had gone so happily to sleep, awoke, overpowered by remorse; not that she wivhed to change what had. happened but toat she felt oppressed as the idea of Caro line's despair. Throwing on a dressing gows she' haszened'to - her room; there, in an attitude of ease and grace, with smile un her lip and a bright color on her cheek slept Caroline as softly :Hi an infant. The next day Caroline, as ebeerfui ever, resumed the usual tenor of her M. de Gase seemed fi...gotten, and Carotin( was again all devoted to her aunt. The trodsseau and all the wedding finer were peeked up and put away tr. Caroline's order. The marriage was never referred to. and Virginie and Caroline were more inii 'note and happier than they had eves been before. About a month sifter these events Caro line was sitting with Virginie, irk her him doir, when the visit of Mine do Vigny, n. intimate friend of the family, was au• uounced. "I am come," said she, after the first sa)- utations, " s an ambassadresN; I am the bearer of a proposal for marriage." "We do not want to hear it," said Caro line; my aunt and myself have resolver, never to leave each other, and I have ban ished man entirely from my thoughts." "But the proposal is not fur you." "No matter, eh, aunt?" "Certainly; butt should like to know who can have thought of me." "It's no matter," said Caroline, "you are determined to reuse; why hear the name?" "Certainly; why hear the name?" repeat ed Virginie. , "Oh, as it is not to have any influence on your decision, you may us well bear the name; it is M. to Comte de Brevet." - At this name Virginia uttered a litrte shriek and blushed to the eyes, whilst Car oline, unmoved, sternly replied. "That does not alter our decision." "Caroline," said Virginie, "I wish you would mind your own business; to think' of Prevul, after all—really, Mme. de Vigny, do you know lung before this child was born, I expected this prpposal; really M. de Preval must have a good opinion of him self." "Yes, too good an opinion of himself," said Caroline, "he deserves, if it were pus sible, to refuse hint twice." "tie does not deserve to be treated rudely, poor man, he most be very sol Lary." "So much the better; he should have married you before I wus burn, you will not leave me for him, my beloved aunt?" "Of course not, my bek%el niece." ••We will live fur each other." "We will live fur each other." "And be su happy." ••And be so happy." ".th, you don't say that from the heart; what, I, who have nut laft you fur seven teen years, not fur one moment, am I to be given up for a man who forgot to propose eighteen years ago?" "Sever, though a hundred Prevals should ask ate." At this moment the door opened and the servant uonounced the Count de Preval. "What insolem•e!" said Caroline, stand ing before her aunt. so as to conceal her. But Virginie p.,sheil her aside. "Ah," said Caroline, holding her back, "remember what you said when I wanted to marry M. de Gase." "Marry him and take my ble-ising% hut don't keep me from M. de Preval; why, child, 1 have been waiting nearly twenty years fur this proposal; do you think 1 am going to refuse now?" With this, Mlle. Virginie fell into the arms of M. le Comte do Preval; a proceed ing which staggered him both mentally end physically, seeing tLitt he was thin, tall and spare, and had a slight twinge of g..ut in his toe, and that Mile. Virginie was a bux om. weH-developed maiden, of nearly two hundred weight. At this juncture, Messrs.deGase, followed by M. Page entered room. Virginie rose from her lover's arms; and seeing Anatole, smiled, and going up to him, placed Caro line's hand in his. "May you be happy, my children; M. ale Preval can come every year and see you at Munich; it will be so oleo." "At last," said Caroline, "I shall achieve our marriage; 1 think I am a cleverer di plomatist than you. Anatole; for I managed this little episode, and made my aunt happy into the bargain." And so Caroline was married. Joy in the Howie of Ward. DEAR SURSI. take my pen iu hand to rif.irin yu that line in a state of bliss and itrust these lines .will find yu enjoyin the same btassins.

The mercy of God conies in it, and for aught you know, its 11..urs may contain special mercies fur your heart. None can tell when Christ may . appear to the soul with his gracious revela tions, Out each day we should be ready -fur Goose communications. lest they be lost for want of preparation to receive them. But of this we may be fully assured, that each .lay is commissioned to do its work for. MS No cue day is like any other day. It comes to disclose something not aeon before. It is a new day burn from above. And as siich should it be accepted, remembering that each day is a royal visitor, laden with magnificent favors, und eager to enrich us with bounty infinite. Each Day we have a new world. it is the came heavens and earth, yet not the B,,ine. Look at that landscape in the light of this morning. It is beautiful, very ' beautinit, but it is not the beauty of yester day. Another shade of color, another form f moving or still shadows, other sounds roan those of yesterday, are all abroad. Clie clouds offer new views. The firmament I hoods nearer or retreats farther off. And thus it, is with the ui rid world. Hume is not preci•ely es it was, nor is business, nor is pleasure. Friends are inure or less coin issuoicative and agreenido. Sympathy is nut sis free or freer. Wife and children are not so lovely or lovelier than on on yeater il ty. Within our own hearts, too, are changes easily perceptible. Bucks have lust some of their pleasures ur gained oth s_rs. We read the Bible differently. Wei pray differently. We strike thought at a new angle. The mural atmosphere has changed, and all things appear in other lights. A purpose we set on yesterday, a resolution formed, a plan adopted, are not quite as noble, as inspiring, as before and our zeal has sunk several degrees. Well, this is providential. Variable moods are good, are useful, it' we have consistency of principle and simplicity of aim. A large part of our hest traioing comes in this WaY, ii' we are properly exercised thereby., To: day often makes havoc with yesterday, but only with weak, imbecile souls. The law of change, in God s hands, is the. law :of unity, and to-day differs from other -days, , that we grow into greater completeness of , character, and becume more true to our delves as Christ's redeemed. • Each Duy our work becomes more im-i portant, and we have less time, fur its per.: L,razance. Each Day is a more solemn• thing to be A Christian, and a- more awful thing to be a sinner. Each day we are nearer our destiny—nearer !leaven or. Hell.
