I Romance of Real Life. AN EVENTFUL AND REMARKABLE HISTORY [The following marvellous and interest ing narrative is given in a letter from Paris, tinder date of the 15th of January last, from the correspondent of the St. Louis Republi tan.] The venerable. Abbess of the Ursuline convent of Nevus, whose life was, perhaps, one of the most eventful on record, died last week nt the advanced age of ninety-eight. Per fifty years she has been an inmate of the Convent, winning the love and respect of all who approachdher. In the summer of 1762, there broke out at Paris a disease very similar to what is now called cholera, and which was quite as .fatal in its consequences. Although not contagious, the immense number of persons attacked by it led the people to think it was so, and terror took hold of the minds of all. Mothers abandoned their children, wives their husbands, sisters their brothers ' and almost as many perished by flight as by the disease itself. In two months thirty-one thousand persons were buried in the differ ent burial-grounds around the city. The hospitals were crowded—so crowded.. that the physicians and nurses passed with dif ficulty-among the beds, and the demand for admission was so great that every day- a A FAMILY NEWSPAPER, Ilong - lile - of - sick - might - be - reen - at-the-donr, !some supported by relations, but :he most part lying oil the ground, waiting until their (inn should come to be admitted, but often rbefore night the half of them were carried to the cemetery instead of the infirmary.— t 1.9 may well he opposed, the sk of the hysicians was no light one,. an ta d finally, j they tvere obliged to organize their labor, !and force themselves to repose a certain time every day, and take the service in Horns, in order to be able to bear up under the extraordinary hurts they were called upon to ()no day. as a yopng, phyirion, he tv!lo t\v; , tov I,ior Icruo.vo o.s the eele -I,Tottd .1)r. :.;oullo, tvati liatenrr the hot:pital to go :;001 iolo.iti.f to ,•1 vnot non. 1 , ry.;:!.: , - s pot,. i,o , t ium at C 711 1 .; ; ...- 1 ..;•;1 if 10-• \.too 1 ,;,y50.;.m.

'Open that window,' said the doctor, 'and bring some vinegar immediately to rub the child's body.' 'What!' cried the woman, 'she has not got the plague?' 'Why, certainly ; did you not know it ?' answered the doctor. 'No, no ; take her away, take her away. She slant stay here to kill us all. Come, my daughters, come away quick ! Oh ! the wretched child. she will be the 'death of you !' and she pushed the twelve girls out of the room, and went after them. But the door sprang after her. 'Are you the mother of that child P he asked. , Yes ; but take her away—she sham stay here.' 'She must he .put to bed and taken care of,' said the doctor. 'She shall not have abed in this house— take her away.' 'But where shall I take her ; besides, she will die if removed.' .1 don't care, take her to the hospital ; anywhere, only take her away from this house.' • Thoiiigh horrified by the feeling express ed by this unnatural mother, the doctor tried a moment to persuade her to do somethirig for her child ; but finding it useless, and seeing that if he left the little girl in the house she would die from neglect, he took her in his arms, wrapped her in a Manlier, and carried her to the hospital, where he was fortunate enough to find a vacant bed for the little sufferer. . The doctor then made some inquiries concerning her parents, and learned that Monsieur Doinergue was a manufacturer of large means and his wife really the mother of thirteen children, all daughters, and duly registered nt the May or's office as having been born in seven years. Six times Madame Domergue brought a pair into the world all wonderfully re sembling each other, light hair, blue eyes, fair skin, and sharp features. The mother adored them, arid her pride and joy was at its climax when she found her family again about to be increased. But alas ! this time she was disappointed, for a little girl arriv ed, but v Huila any companion. This alone would have been enough to have turn ed her mother's heart from her, but besides ihis she was emir, lv dill rent from the twelve outer. The mother could see no beauty in her clear brunette complexion; her bluets curling. hair. dark eyes and ex gaisi features. and from the moment of her birth. lirCe Esther was an insulated be ing, unloved and uncured for. IVhile her sisters wile dressed in silk, she wore cot ton, and while they were fed upon dainty food, she ent with the servants in the bitch en. As she grew she gave her mother fresh cause for dislike, fur whereas her sis ters were endowned with intellects of the Must rurdi•cre order, mid learned die silo plest things with the greatest difficulty, Esther's talents grid quickness of perception made her the wonder even of her sisters.— ALLENTOWI\I, LEHIGH COUNTY, PA., MARCH 25, 1:(1, 111:•• •li• 4, !it_S II Seeing-thisrthat-her-twelve-pets_wereiike ly to be thrown in the shade, Madame Dom orgue stopped Esther's lessons entirely, and the most the poor child could obtain : was permission - to remain in the room while her sisters were with their teachers; • 13%, this means she was ii: u to learn it 4!: , si deal,-aint as she title: ward 3 ;!1, were her only happy [wore.

When he reached the were just bringing .out two coffins to be paced on a hearse which stood in the street. The doctor mal his protege ascended the stairs, entered the parlor and proceeded to another room, without seeing anybody or hearing any noise. A deathly silence pervaded the whole house. But Esther in the greatest_alarM_pushed_open a door and led the, way to the roots where she and her twelve sisters had slept togeth er. The door was open, but for beds alone occupied the rocitn, and two of thorn weri. empty. On the other lay tWii of the fair haired twins. and by their side stood Mad. Domergue looking at them as if stupitied.— Esther, with an undefined dread of some thing frightful, rushed up to her mother and threw her arms nround her. But as spon as Madame Domergue saw her, she threw her from her, 'then seized her again atid would have torn her to pieces if the damnr had not snatched her front r grasp. As it was. the poor child's face Was all scratch ..tl and bloody, and she tainted almost im mediately. hy do you hi ing her here ?' cried Mad. Domergue. 'She is the cause of all my misfortune. There lie the only two I have left. Take the little demon away or I will kill her in spite of you !' Almost frozen with horror, the doctor an swered not a word, but bore the insensible and bleeding child from the room, out of the house, and placed her in a carriage which he saw passing and stopped. Ile ordered the coachman to drive to an obscure little street where lived, in the most humble manner, the doctor's venerable mother.— She received the unhappy child, gave her all necessary relief, and installed her in a small room near her own. It was as Madame Domergue had said ; in three weeks ten of her idolized daughters had fallen victims to the terrific disease, and the day after the doctor's second visit the other two died, and were buried like their sisters. A few days more, and the mother herself followed, and when the doctor hear ing of it, returned, lie found that once so noisy with young voices, and * , o full of the joy and pride of a large family, silent as the tomb, occupied only by a premature ly old man, left alone in the world and pros trate with his grief. A few months after wards, Mr. Domergue died in hopele:- , s in sanity. Esther brought up under the motherly care of Madame Scthe, budded into wo manhood as lovely a young creature ty could possibly be seen. When L. her ei•gli. teenth year she became the wife of the doc tor, who was now beginning to be known in the world, and she made herappearance in the saloons of Paris, and was for years the most admired woman of the time. She became the mother of five children—four sons and one daughter—whom she brought up and educated to be an honor to herself and ornaments to the Society in which they lived. Dr. Soulie became in-time one of the physicians of the court of Louis XVI, and when the political troubles began to break out, he, unfortunately, wrote a pam phlet in favor of the court, and thus became a marked man. In the fall of 1792, at :3 o'clock one morning, the people forcibly en t red Dr. Soulie's house, dragged hint and his two eldest sons from their beds, and in spite of the prayers and ,untreaties of the poor wife and mother, carried them ofl: It was nearly a week before Madame Soulie could hear any news of her !eyed• ones, and then—they had already been dead four days —the guillotine had done its work for them. Madame Soulie clasped her three remaininv children in her arms, two boys of seventeen and eighteen, and a girl of fifteen years of ago. But as she s rained them to her in the agony of, her grief, fr.sh trouble was prepar ing for her. Her sons vowed Within them selves to revenge the murder of their father and brothers. It would take too long to narrate all the circumstances Which follow , ed ;. but these two young men placed them selves at the head - of a conspiracy against the government, and. one year precisely from the•da rlrat't of lier husband and two eldest Toys, Mad.

(J. ! .. r lutt4tv , irls can dt set ibe the despair of that poor mother ! At first she prayed God to take her life or her reason. But a ray of hope dawned upon her. She migl.t, per li-S;Tbuys ; the rribanral which - had condemned them could not be deaf to a mother's praj, r—a mother's despair. But alas ! Madame &tulle little knew the men upon whose compassion she counted. In vain she supplicated, in vain she prayed they ended by refusing to listen to her any longer. She did all that could possibly be done to save her buys from death ; she•even after the example of Madam Chalais, tried to bribe the executioners. But they accepted her money and betrayed her. Finding all her effirts useless, she tried to resign her , if and determined, as she could. not ob tain her sons' lives, at lest to get permis sion to aid them to die. 'This was with ea•eat difficulty ranted her, but at last she received it, and a couple of hours before the execution was to take place, she presen ted herself before her unhappy boys.— Then all the grandeur of her soul the devo tion, the resigiiation which was so remark able in her after life, showed itself. No useless tears no reproaches, no lamenting. One short burst of agony, which the sight of the manacled limbs of her children for from her in spite of herself, and she I was done with this world. Every moment was vt ry cious. Cod, and the eter-1 nits into which these two boys were so soon to enter, formed the sole subject of the conversation between the mother and her ' children; until the jailor came to announce that the moment had arrived to say their last prayers. Madame Simile stood by while the chins were knocked off; she knelt and prayed with the priest, who had been sent to accompaoy the prisoners to the scaffidd ; and then she took an arm of ' each of her beloved boys and left the prison with them. The public place was crowded with people. They mild not help pitying those two handsome youths about to be ex ecuted, but tears ran down the hardest cheeks at the sight• of that noble mother, still in mourning for her husband and two eldest children, and now accompanying her two remaining sons to death. She ascen ded the scaffold with them, embraced them tenderly, offered up a short prayer with them, and then allowed herself to be led off! by a friend. pa was not out of hearing when, the shoe.= of the multitude announced to her that all was over. vct =I Well, in 'U3 she was herself condemned to death on the charge of concealing her brother-in-law, a political prisoner who had escaped from prison. A second time she mounted the scaffold, and was prepar ing to die, when an order come for her re lease. She then retired to a little farm she owned near Blois, and soon after married her daughter to a !nun every way worthy of her. But misfortune was to be her lot through life. 11cr only child, all that fate had left her to love and cherish, died in child birth, eleven months after her marriage. It was then that Madame Soulie turned her eyes towards the cloister. After considera ble delay she was received into the Ursuline Convent of Nevers, and in 1825 was made Lady Abbess, which place she held until her death. ller last moments were sooth ed by the -..esence of many of those upon wh,l she had conferred her benefits and charities a she died ns calmly as an infant falling to sleep, her lips sealed to the cru cifix and her eyes turned to that heaven to which certainly, if afflictions accord the right to enter, she had won. Mormonism Exposed, by a Mormon. The late high-handed and treasonable pro ceedings of the Mormons in the territory of Utah, as shown by the official reportlaf the United States officers returned therefrom however strange and startling they to those who have had an opportunity of scrutinizing and observing them, and their doctrines and designs, but pre in perfect keeping with the character of the sect, openly avowed by them to most of their members for some ten years no more. The writer c.f this, hiving been one of their , n umber, and having boen personally cc (maimed with Ilidv.hain Young and his as ociates hy than the twelve apostles raid Having had freloent conversations with . them in re,Tect to their policy in relation to , the Government of this country, is perhaps i better qualilh2d than many to submit a few ; hints thereom First, then, n word in rep,artb nt their great leading doctrine. They believe and ! teach that the ab<igines of this continent arc descendants of a branch of the house of through the seed of Joseph, the Pet triarch ; and consequently those remarkable blessings pronounced upon Joseph and his two sons, by Jacob his father, also by IVIo; see, will be fulfilled upon the bend of 09 on «•liich she hnd learned OR I / I I NEUTRAL IN POLITICS. 852, Mormon church, and on this continent.— ITence all lhose terrible — denuncuitions and destructions: predicted of .in the. Prophets against the oppressors of Ephraim and Man asseh (the Indians) aro to be fulfilled upon the devoted heads of the American people, the Mormons being the instruments. The Book of Mormon—misnamed the, :Mormon Bible—which Joseph Sinbit claim ed to have found miracuously, in the shape of metallic plates inscribed upon in an un known or lost language, but translated by him through inspiration, is the sacred and hitacir_y_of_this_brancli_ol_lsraeLt he_ predecessors of the American Indians. The organization of the Mormon Church is the beginning of this political power to the In dians ostensibly, but in reality to the Mor mon Church. In regard to the government and laws of this country, they are ready at any and at all times to set them at defiance except when they may deem it politic to do otherwise. In addition to their religious idea of vengeance on this Governthent, they have sworn vengeance against the States of Missouri and Illinois, from which they have been driven, and against the United States Government for not siding with them . against those Staten. The Salt Lake movement was riot up for the.avowed purpose of placing themselves without the pale of this government, (they, with all their prophets, little dreaming that it was so soon to be a. part of the govern ment,) that they could the better manage their treasonable designs; and at that time the Mormons petitioned Queen Victoria for aid for the Mormon emigrants from Great Britain, urgin g in that petition the impor tance of her Majesty's government counter acting the rapid emigration from the United States to California ! That petition can be seen by examining the files of the Mormon paper printed in England at that time, called the Millennian Star. In regard to polygamy, it has been preach ed among them for many years ; and, if it were necessary, I could give you cases of the separation of husbands and xvives, and breaking up of families, the domoralization of young women by seine of these twelve apostles, in this city and vicinity, that would almost chill the heart's blood. They teach and avow openly that mar rages performed out of that church nre null and void, and can be broken at the pleasure of either or both parties! There is no par ticular order or system about it. The heads of the church manage to secure to them selves the most desirable of the females that join the church ; and when tired of them give them over to the laymen of the church, and not before. I know of one instance of a family from this city, where the mother and two daugh ters (mere children) were used as wives of one of the: , ..t. apostles, Heber Kimball, he at the same time living with his lawful wife. I know of another case, in which P. P. Pratt, another of those twelve, took the young wife of Mr. Hum, of this city, unbe known to him, and they had lived as hus band and wife since. But your space will not periniCto begin to enumerate instances of that kind that have come to my personal knowledge. Instead of pologamy, it should be termed licentiousness run mad. Any and all of these charges I stand ready to substantiate by their own documents, and by unimpeaceable witnesses. New Pork. JOIN HAnov. False Pretences. A man, with a pair of whiSkers, or rath er, a pair of WhiskerS with something faint ly resembling a man attached to them, ap peared before Mayor Gilpin with. an accusation against Clementine Derby, oth erwise Millet, who, according to the affir mation of the complainant, Abraham Mil let, had swindled him out of his personal freedom by inducing him to marry her; the said Clementine, who proved af terwards, on close inspection, to be a mere bundle of false pretences. Abraham, the man of whiskers, had become acquainted with Miss Derby at a reputable boarding house, where the lady had fixed her tem porary residence. She had a fine suit of brown hair, charming teeth, a due propor tion of roses and lillies in her complexion, an innocent maidenly countenance, a good figure and a fortune of forty-five thousand dollars, including a rice plantation, stocked with ninety-three negroes, somewhere out South. Some of these attractions were vis ible to Mr. Millet, but the rice grounds and the negroes had never been seen by him ; they were merely obj , ets of faith, therefore. Miss Clementine gave him tictli a particu lar account of the property—the real estate especially—that •A was quite catis lied with its reality.

A Good Shot. A bear for some time past carrying orl an improper intimacy with the young hog., belonging to the settlers in the Queen's Bush, closed his career last week in rathei a singular manner.
