It showed tho InU-ivnt that tho aunt
took In tho eternal wcll-bolnir uf tho
child. I remember very well having
een tho pnoronthiwlaitiitrolehed upon
tho cold and damp earth when I went to
tho midnight rorvlofl. Hut thla wan
not enough; tho follow I ng day she
fasted until sunsot, and one of tho sls-tt-rs
who visited hor during tho day
cdlfled us greatly by tolling us that sho
found her kneeling before her own
coflln which shffl had provided many
years before. Tho coflln was orna
mented with skulla and bones; and the
mother panned tho whole day kneeling
and relocating Ave Marian beforo the
lugubrious object. Tho following
morning, when sho Joined us In tho
choir, sho looked llko a corpto.
Tho young rullgleuses love to have a
(rowl appearance as well as tho young
girl of the world; but there In an
epoch In the life of a devotee when an
emaciated and corpiw-llke figure ex
cites praise and gain reupcct. Mother
ITraula wan then stimulated to more
rigid privation, and when sho did not
apjiear, neither at dinner nor at lunch,
It was looked upon aa aomethlng mi per
human, Hut what waa the result of all
theao pensoees? The third .morning
afUir the death of her niece, Mother
Ursula was found not quite dead but so
near to her end that there waa barely
time la administer to her the last sac
ramenta. Tho extraordinary change which
took place In her isnly Immediately
after death, and tho fetid odor that
came from It filled us with fright; It
waa then that many of tho altera de
clared that they bad noticed tho tturrie
symptoms In tho Utile candidate.
An Inquiry waa made about the
nature (if the sickness that had taken
Klla, and It waa learned that aho had
len taken -suddenly 111 after having
la-en In a house where a sailor bad died
of a violent fever; and atlll more, wo
learned that many poor peasants In tho
vlelnl'y were alck with the wtrno
disease, and that two of our number
bad (wccumlicd In ho night. Nobody,
at least abut In a we were, la able to
dewrlbetbe effect that thla dUoovery
bad upon ua. The body waa there
)fcire ua, exhaling an Infectloua mlor,
Who would touch It? Who would bury
it? How would the neoeraarjr ecro
monlea for the afcty of her aoul bacv
complUhed? The ahlxa had doubttcaa
done well In hiding from ua tho truth
until the Intermrnt, alnce nothing
Vropctiatea an epidemic like fear; but
the fright bad destroyed every thought
of caution, and we were aerablcd in
the corridor before the cell where the
eoriae lay, wringing our hand, throw
ing ournolvea ujKtn our knee, weeping
and praying. Instead of attributing
thlevil to any natural caiuwwe aought
for aupernatural reaaon.
"la tbl,' ald Paulino to mo, "bo
cauao they have boon too aovere to
ward poor Clarlaao? Iit ua auk
Madame to give her liberty and wo will
prornlM not to apeak with her!"
I approved of the plan, and whilo we
diacuNned the manner of putting it Into
execution, Annunciata appeared at the
bead of the atalra; paler than uaualbut
perfectly calm, i'aullne ruabed to
ward her, and In the name of the
family ahe prayed tho aUtor to grant
her an opportunity to apouk with the
uirlor on tho aubject of poor Clariww'a
aufferlng; "for It 1 to her lufferlnga,"
aaid the, "that we attribute thia algn
of divine anger,"
At theae word Annunciata trembled,
but Immediately recovering heraolf
ahe aaked Pauline what led her to aup
poae that Clarlaao had been treated
with aeverity,
"It la the myntery which envelope
ber," responded my friend, fixing upon
Annunciata a long and piercing look.
Annunciata bore it without flinching
and replied:
"Thla li not my affair, Sinter Pau
line; If you have any auggeatlon to
offer, Madame will grant you an Inter
view,' Of what do you accuse Clariaec?" do
n anded Pauline.

I nhall never forget the rx pnnlnn of
Annunciata whi n Pauline pminmnci-il
Uii'M Wimln, A livid pallor uverHpread
ber feature and ber eye glitter d
with Indignation. She made an effort
to breathe a If ho winded to n-ak,
Hut aho remained nllent many wemili.
Then aho pronounced tho following
word with ncalmneaa which greatly
aatonlnhed Hie and gave mo a high
opinion of tho control which ahe hud
over hemetf :
"Allow me, Klnter Pauline, to recom
mend you to talk uHn thla ulJectto
thoHO whom It concern, and not to a
ieron who, though iniloved by
Madame, la eonHldered tcn young to
enter Into her confidence, nut, my
alatera," aald abe, turning to the circle
which had formed around her, "I have
ticcn interrupted in a communication
which our reverend father charged mo.
Ho requirea your prcnence in the choir
toaHtilnt in an act of humiliation; for
bo fear that aomo grave offence bna
drawn uHn ua thla terrible algn of
God'adlHiileaHuro."
In aaylng theae worda, aho paancd
rapidly to the opponlto aide while aomo
of the alNtcra axked If the dropjilng of
the crew waa ablo to bring on thla
punlahmcnt.
Paulino hearing thla remark gave
me a ilgnlflcant look, but we did not
havo tlmo to apeak together. We ha-
toned to the choir, where we performed
a'aolcmn acrvlco accompanied with
chant and Htanlca.
Tho prletcnt u away, commanding
u to fiiHt and pray until Riinnct-the
very thing which wna tho btit mcuna
of helping tho development of the
malady, which could thu more cunlly
cl.o upon our empty Htomacha and
weakened nervca. I muat hero remark
that Father Joachlrn did net make any
allulon to tho fall of the cro.
Tho funeral of Mother Urania waa
held In tho afternoon. Matter wcro
expedited a promjilly a ponlblc;
after that the bouao waaaprlnkled with
holy water and IncenHO waa burned. It
la very probable that If we hud la-en
nerved with a good dinner and then
been allowed to rent in peace, we would
have escaped thocontaglon; but after
fatiguing day, we had a thin noup of
lM!n and a midnight aervlee.
The night did not pan tranquilly.
Kymptotn of dlneano ahowed them
aelvea In two of the aorvant and one of
the nlnler of t he black veil and the
ablM-KM made all hante to prepare- the
convent Infirmary.
The Infirmary wa a large rcwmi com
municating with tho houae. by a long
gallery; it wa hojMid that the dlatance
would auflice to prevent the aprend of
the contagion In the convent. They
told uathat It waa tho thurlmn, (black
death), a terrible plague, infectlouaand
very audden, It i lmpolblo to do-
ncrllm the horror of our jKmltlon, abut
in a we wcro with the plague, without
having tho poaalblllty of refuge in pure
air, and at the aamo time lacking the
only thing that wa ablo toconaolo ua
I wUb to y tho BHMiirance of aulvatlon
In Jeu Chrlt the Kavlor.
Purgatory with all of ita horror, pro
ent d lUelf to my eye; for If ono ray
of light had croawd my mind In conac
queni'e of the confection of C'larie In
tho aubtorranean chamlir, tho aupor
atitlcnia torror which enveloped mo
hadecllpMed that light and plunged me
anew Into the moat mlaorable atate.
During tho lx hour which followed
the removal of tho two Itra to the
Infirmary, we waited In anxiety; all at
once, at midnight, the funeral knell
told u that one of tho alntera had
pawned from thla world Into tho other,
and that another aUter wa nick In her
cell, Iwaadroaacd for the midnight
aervlee; tho wind moaned ad!y the
length of tho corridor and under tho
arche when the aound of the funeral
Ml reached my ear. I opened the door
of my cell, and having called a iter
who waa panning Into tho gallery, I
inked her what had haponed.
"Hlater Adeline I dying," aaid ahe;
"may the holy virgin have pity upon
ber aoul! and wo go to carry Biater
Marguerite to tho Infirmary."
"What, Marguerite!" I exclaimed,
"the beautiful had pure Marguerite!
May God help ua!"
Hut the alater waa far away already,
and while I remained atuplfled upon
the thrcabold of my cell, I aw tho
domcatlc carry the aged nun Into the
place from whence iho never would re
turn. We hod already Iot three alntcra,
without counting Ella. As tho Inter-

bad prmlouiily, Il a about a w-eek
after the death of Mother Prnula: the
lllm-ane ContllluiMl tt ravage, when
one evening at nupn'r ll'iie, the n'port
wan npii-ad that riarlo had taken Iho
feu-r. We were In the iifit't4iry, when
Annu.ielat entered and Infunniil the
ahlmnn, that having carried uper to
the unhappy lnU-r, ho found her with
all tho vmpt4im of tho horrible
plague
"Mere do Mlnerleorde!" cried the
ablM-nn, "I 1 1 nmnlh!c, hut In n ho In
In my apartment?"
"It I tho hand of an offended tiod,"
replied Mother A I moo who was next
to tho ahho, "may God havo mercy
upon her aoul !''
P.ach ono of ua made tho algn of the
crona while Annunciata awaited the
orders of tho abbcaa. After a moment's
nllonco, ahe aald to her:
''Does Madame wlh to have tho alck
ono carried to the Infirmary?"
"No, my daughter." renponded the
abheaa, "no! I havo protnlaod our holy
father, tho blnhop, that thla unhappy
creature ahould never rejoin the ala
ters. I have bound myBolf by a vow
upon which depends my eternal wel
fare that nobody, save myaolf and Sla
ter Annunciata, tihall enter her cell.
If aho die, I myaclf will inter her pes
tiferous remalna; If she Uveal will pro
vide for her net-da, Thoe who fear to
see ber are able to give me oil I Khali
need through tho grate, but I ahall do
what I have aald, and I hope that thla
sacrifice will servo to expiate thealn I
havo committed In leaving so long a
tlmo thla impure sheep In the bosom of
my flock."
"O my mother! my mother!" cried
Annunciata, playing her hypocritical
part with an admirable air, and kneel
ing at hor feet, while her veil covered
her figure; "allow your child to prny
you not to encounter this danger; tho
pliiguo will seize upon you if you re
main shut In so little a cell!" Then
turning suddenly towards us, her cloth
ing all disheveled (I understood her
trouble now); "My sinters," said sho,
"I pray you help mo to prevent our
well beloved mother from accomplish
ing this act of heroic piety."
We all olTorcd our services, praying
tho superior to allow Clarinso to be
carried to the Infirmary,"
"That Is Irriiswalble," said sho, "you
are Ignorant of tho motives for my
conduct."
"Rut, Madame. ' cried Paulino, "wh
do you fear that any harm can lie done
by the dying Clarlaao? Our principles
are well est Wished; her opinions can
not disturb our faith In this religion
which alone Is able to give us repose."
Paulino continued, and according to
tho rules of the convent tho superior
would not havo interrupted her In this
outburst of sentiment. Hut ignorant
of what might havo como from the Hps
of Paulino, and almost overcome with
fear that I had lest sho should reveal
our subterranean visit, I seized her
hand to draw her attention and ssld-
"My sister, have you forgotten, or
aro you Ignorant, that Claris Is under
tho Influence of a demon?. How can
you believe, then, that one is able
without danger to como Into contact
with her?"
Paulino blushed and was silent, but
Annunciata, looking at her fixedly,
said: "Our sister seems to have some
false! Idea as to Clnrlsso." And sho
looked at tho ablx-ns aa If to toll her
that It would bo well to question Pau
lino. Hut tho abbess was rising from
tho table, and taking solemn leave of
us, aho departed with tho air of a mar
tyr going to tho ecaffold. Ah! tho
hyierltc! Would that tho Lord had
changed her neart!
They Informed us from time to time
of the progress of Clarlse's sickness;
finally they told ti that there was no
hojio. From tho beginning wo had bo-
sought Annunciata to allow u to go
beyond tho grate of tho abbess and see
onco more the beautiful Clarlsno, but
she bad always refused. Finally, the
second evening, meeting her in tho
gallery and finding her moro gentle
than usual, (for sho had broken down
even to weeping), wo repeated our re
quest, and she responded that If we
entered softly at midnight Into the
apartment of tho abbess, sho would ex
cuse us, but at tho same tlmo she
warned us that we incurred tho great
est danger In entering the infected
chamber.
Having obtained thla permission we
watched until midnight, and went
without nolso towards the auperlor'a
apartment. In one of the chambers
was an altar surmounted with an Image
of the virgin stepping upon the ser-
ocnt. A second chamber communi
cated by a grate with tb cell of Cla
rlsno. There was a brazier' of burning
incense to counteract the influence of
the plague.'" r"' C r j fZT3

Tha Loyal Orange Inatltutlon Is a brother

It has no hidden alms,

It uphold the right of private judgment--tha

It believe, primary allegiance is due to

We affirm our devotion in the public Rchool
VHtctM of till country. We believe In com
pulHory education, and that all teaching In
our hcIiooIh hIioiiUI be In thu Kngllah lan
guage, to tlie end that future generation,
may he able to take their place In the rank
of our country' worker, educated In the

the Interference of any church, no matter

We believe that the Hlhle ahould be read In
our public choolj not to teach aectarlnnlHiiii

recognized Nlandiird of all moral and civil
law ; we therefore believe, that our children
ihould be educated In It teaching, but that
no dogma or creed should be taught at the
