Thn revolutionary spirit was li'l I with hh'Ii vlolciioo at St. Slffren that many of the richest famtllf wore phllped toahandon tin) plrn'o. The ro mil I it of these, movement sometimes reached oven within our wall, " when these symptom of tumult reached na ns there are no m-h timid creature an nun wo pressed ono ajralnttttho other like a Ihx'k of frightened sheep. One morning, after a night during which onr it a we hiul hoon more troubled than timial, Mine. Vcranl pro edited herself Bt the grate, asking to HHk to tho aldioas and myself The abbes reHponded to her apiwat, and leaning upon my arm, In a state, of ex tremely violent excitement, wocamoto tho grate, and I saw that my friend wa very much disturbed. She opened the conversation, Informing us of tho decision of M. Verani' The tumult were becoming each day more serious, and they thought It would bo much better to r move before things came to extremes. She was about to continue, when tho abbess, placing hor hand tipon ray arm, cried: "O, Angcllqnel what s'hull we do?" and throwing her self backward Into hor chair tho burHt, Into tear. Mmo. Verani nt the same tlmo gave me a significant look, and I succeeded while occupied with tho abbens, In placing myself between her and the grato, and I received a package which IslIp)Md Into my pocket. Having at tained her object, my friend took her loavoj (and as the eyes that used to watch tho novices were closed forever, I soon found an opportunity to ojMn my packet In the presence of Paulino. The news It contained was very In teresting. There whs first a letter from Mine. Verani to mo; another from Edward Ileaumoiit for his sister, and a third from the cousins of Pauline from Switzerland. Thoy all had tho same purpose. 0 They gave alarming details concerning the frightful political con dition of the country, and said that they had heard of some roorts of a ro llgleuso who had been Imprisoned twenty years In the dungeons of tho convent, and that the people threatened to force tho door of tho monastery to assure themselves of the fact. These letters declared that the post Won of the sister would bo horrible If they were exposed, without protection, to tho brutality of the furious populace They ended with the most pressing prayers, made In the name of friend hip and the most ardent Interest, for the three sisters, Pauline, ClarUse, and Anollque, to allow themselves to be persuaded, If ary tumult took place, to make a knot In their veil, and to abun don themselves to tho protection of those who addressed them by the words calling them "the sisters of the knotted veil," "What shall wedo?' raid I to Pau line. "What we can," rescinded she. "Are you ahlo to hesitate when Provi dence oMns tho door before us? Khali we not escape from this horrible place? What will her brother say when ho learns that she is no more?" Wo wept freely .at tho thought of this o devoted brother writ n he should learn the terrlblo end of hi sister, We asked ourselves If wo ought not to give some alarm to the abbes; but wo were arrested In this project by the fear of perhaps hastening tho death of tho unfortunate creature whom they had shut up In the subterranean chain ber. We dldi not dare to talk directly about the subject of our letters, but we poke to the mother and sisters of may thing they had heard, asking them what they would do If tho con vent should be treated llko that of St. Clara of Nice. "If such a Hhing happens," said Mother AImee,'"I will hide among the debris and there give up my spirit, for It 1 here that I have lived during tho time that 1 have been under the long protection of our Mere de Mlserlcordo, and It It here that I wish to leave my old bone that my dust may mingle with the sister that have preceded me." "Mother," said Pauline, who had drawn Mother Almoe away from tho other sister, "what would become of Sister Agnes If the prison were opened?" "Agnes!" said the old woman, trem bling; "what do you know about her?" 'I ! ht lnl 1.1J," H- li-lt i paw-lbf ; ' t .1 ! tKl )!, Hl i t it. I" , ,li n , ltd t i t ! i . Tl, l.. j,iw 111 Ul rt . t ;k."

"(cannot rfH-all," said she, ' hut she had known when my memory has gone, Hid she not die with the plague?" ! "Who?" "Hid you not scRk of iior C'larlsw?" anki'd Mother Almee. "No," replied Pauline, "of Mor Ag-1 1 1 1 I lies, s sue ucau or is sue sun in: primmed?" "What! In this house, do you say?" cried the mother, "How could she bo still living? It Is at least thirty years since that, I tell you." "Hut why did they Imprison her?" questioned Pauline. "I don't know," responded tho aged nun. "Wno am 1 10 pass juugmeni upon my superiors? Have they not dono what the church commanded? Our holy church, is It not infallible?" At tho sumo tlmo she made the sign of tho cross, murmured a prayer, and then fell Into her ordinary stato of Im becility. "Poor soul!" said Pauline; "she I not among those who deceive; at least she 1 Innocent of this crime." "Those who decolvo," I repeated; "your principles change, then, Pau lino." "That is possible," said she; "but this poor Agnes." "God only know what ha boeoino of hor," said I; "but I am tired with all these mysteries. I have lost all confidence In my spiritual guides. I am ready to doubt all forms of religion and to bellevo that they have been In vented by ambitious men and women In view of their Interests." "Why," said Paulino, "have you for- fotten Clarlsse and all that she said in that frightful subterranean interview? Are you able to doubt for a single in itant tho reality of what supported that young girl, so sweet and delicate, In such terrible circumstance as those In which she found herself? O An gellquel there ought to ho In religion more than we have been able to learn up to this time." I am unablo to recall the rest of the conversation; tho event which fol lowed have effaced It from my memory. It was about four'day later day during which nothing extraordinary occurred, and which wo passed In tho same course of monotonous observance that, being in tho garden with Pau lino, and deeply absorbed in eonversa tlon iiMin the details which hud been mentioned In tho letter of Mmo. Verani, we wore surprised, during a paino in our conversation, to hear a rumbling sound like a distant cataract when it alls In a torrent, "Hear!" cried Pauline. The noise continued and became more and more distinct. "It I tho wind," said I, for though the day bad ticon beautiful, still there had been a great deal of stir among the cedar branches. "No," said Paulino with a frightened air; "no, it Is not tho wind," "It Is the mountain torrent," said I, "and if Jt In that we will see If the brook is swollen." We wont toward the grate, but we saw no change. Tho brook continued its Kaeeable course between it flower bordered banks, and wo looked at It In silence, "() Angellquo," said Pauline, "why am I so sad, so full of apprehension?" and Joining her hand sho continued: "O (iod! God bo merciful, direct us, guide us; If we are In error, dlslpato the clouds of doubt and the shadows which obscure our minds. Lead us Into the truth; make u capablo of placing our confidence where it only should bo placed, and as to the rest as to thl world, do for us a seemcth good unto Thee." In saying these word sho threw her arm around me. and then continued; "Hut If Hi Thy good pleasure, OLord grant that I muy not lie separated from my Angollque." For a moment we were carried away by our feeling, but recovering our selves, we perceived that the nolne in creased. "Oh heaven!" cried Paulino, "St, Slffren i in revolt. Ho you not dltttin gulsh the sound of voices? It U e general tumult." Saying theso word she ran toward tho house, and meeting some of the sUten sho spread the alarm in the es tabllshment. There wa a narrow door in an arch leading from one of the chamber which oiened upon a narrow circular stairway that led to a high tower from which one could see the whole village. This door was ordinar ily closed; but the abbess, bearing our cries, sent to find tho portress, and ,m in' ei ' J.r, .'! tH tf ll t .! !.

Tho aluV l'lng awav, many of the aged nuns retired to Ihelr cells, doubtless to Invoke their wooden Idol thHt were about to Ihi des troyed. The younger sisters remained by tho tower window gn.lng upon the village, and not noticing the approach of night until the black outlines of the village wall were seen uion the Hori zon, and a new luminary appeared to lighten the seene. Thlsproved to be an enormous lnmflre that hud been kindled In tho grand quare. Tho tumult In creased, and tho most horrible howling was heard In tho street, Hut as no preparation seemed to be made for an attack upon the convent, and as wo had omitted vesjiers, we were called to compline an hour sooner than usual. Father Joachim was not present, and another priest olllelated in hi jJaco. It was tho laitdny of September, and night had already fallen before tho service wn ended. Just at tho mo ment when It was to terminate, a frightful noise resounded in tho long corridor of the convent and died away In tho chapel. Tho glimmering light of the torches Illuminated the sanc tuary. Kachofthe sculpture seemed to detach itself and stand out In relief upon tho wall. A terrlblo blow struck upon tho door made tis tremblo. Throwing our books away wo fled in all directions sfwne to tho right side and other to tho left, while Paulino and I ran to tho cemetery, trying to open a door which gave entrance to tho gar den; but before we could ascorta'n whether the door would open, 1 heard my name pronounced, and the portress, all in a tremblo, told me that I must go to the saloon atal present myself to tho mayor of St. Slffren "Heaven!" I cried, "what now?" The portress was not able to r spond to this question, but tearing mo away from Paulino for thl faithful friend would have followed me even to death sho pushed me before her Into tho saloon, where I found tho abbes In conversation with a man of tho coarsest aspect, who wu sitting outside tho grato, Ho was seated, though the ab bess was standing, arid he wore thotrl colored cockade, "This young girl," said he, contlnu Ing a conversation already commenced "that i to say, the cousin of Citizen Verani, I the person I wish to see. Citizen Verani i one of my friends, and that 1 why I wish to show some affection to hi cousin. You havo no need to trouble yourself a to my mo tive, and I do not wish to hear your Jargon. I know that tho rest of you cloistered people are accustomed to fabricate falsehoods; that Is why I warn you that I know Citlzoni ss Cecllo HI eordl, who ha lived some tlmo with her cousins at 8t, Slffren, and I desire to sjieiik with her myself." Then per celvlng me ho said: "Come on, young girl, and lift your veil; show mo your face. It Is possible that I havo seen soma less beautiful." I looked at the ablsiss, to know what mut bo dono, and thl short delay pro voked a torrent of oath and blasphemy on tho part of the reprobate, When ho had looked atme tome tlmo through the grate, he laughed and made some pleasantries aliut the barriers of the grate, and swore that ho would break thorn down a soon as all the young birds were driven into their nests, "Ah well!" my beautiful clllzenoss, I desire you to understand that you are a free as myself, and that you can do nothing better than to put yourself under my protection; and If you are not happy It will not bo my fault. That I what I have to say to you, Cltlzcno Hleordl. Hut to you," said ho, turning towards the sutKirlor, his features agl tated with anger and fury, "to you I have to talk In another manner. Do not flatter yourself, vile instrument of vile hypocrites, that jour abominable action are unknown; do not hope to escape the vengeance of tho jiooplo. You trornblo, I eo it, and you havo reason. I have only to sav tho word, and ajustly enraged populace will force these door and oblige you to avow your ecrctand hidden action. You have only ono chance for safety, miserable woman!
