How Caroline Got Married.
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.

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.

ies. They p:iiiceeied from the Rue de la

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

"I love your neice, Caroline," said
he, -but my respect for her equals my af-
fection; and, although our acquaintance wit

winter, and afterwards continued hy letters,
she would nut consent to its ountittuanee till

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

"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.
"Well. aunt?" bald Caroline, ne boon a:

"Ungrateful?"
"Yes. I hare had nll the trouble, the

"You are selfi-h. aunt, and want to keep
me all your life tied to pour apron string.
Every by dy marries."
—Everyhod y?"
"Ye-t—everybody who can get any one to

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

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. Page an
nounced that a pressing engagement would
prevent his canning before the nest evening.
llere was delightful food fur Virginie's
coamaleotarics, mod so well did she manage

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

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

"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.

Each Day.
Each day is a divine gift. It is therefore
.t divnie oppormuity, boat as a gift from
,leiturti. and like all such gifts bringing
sumethiiig inure than itself. 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.
