We must now pass to the chamber of IEn stache do Bretnati. .It Is richly furuiatl-d--thi quiet that reigns, and every little arrangement suggests that it is the chamber of sickuces; but thb abandoned couch assures us that the patient'J much better. De Breman reclines on an a'lu-chair. The anyielding manner in which his head accommodates itself to the comfortable support, bespeaks an impatience of temperament which bodily weakness has failed to subjugate. A small but exquisitely wrought table stood before him. with peons, ink and paper. "Yest" said he, 'This must end. Three days have already elapsed since I formally lrolpostd to D( fouty for-th-hand of his sistrr, -and-n answer yet. He encourages my suit and hide me hope' and yet, though I fear no rival, I am repelled by her very gentleness. To-day bmunt decide all." He drew the little talet near, and corn ultenced to write hastily. He frankly opens his heart, and fervidly tells the emotions of his bosom. 'Hie attempts to picture the happiness which he fondly h weawilL crowivn ltjir ir1 He had just concluded when Father (;Ganrielle and Do Tonty were announced. After the usual salutations of the day, and inquiries for his health, Father Gabrielle approached his chair, and leaning affectionately towards hiai, presented Josephine's letter. De Breman gbmnoed first at the addrens, and recognizing her well known hand, he looked for some time at De Touty, as if to soee what scope he maight give to his mournful conjec tures. The Chevalier's look of embarrassment was not propitions. De Breman turned the billet nervously in his fingers, and then, as if bidding defiance to fate, he tore it hastily open and eagerly perused its contents. Father Gabrielle kept his eye intently fixed on his expressive countenance as he read, -so that when he lifted his gaze, the first objeet he met was the eye of the priest, peaking of com fort and oonsolation in his distress. "Father," he murmured, as he clasped con vulsively the hand which the good father had extended, "it is over. I have long felt that I was unworthy of this earthly reward. Oh! her retiring modesty was her chief charm; and whenever my vague imaginings pointed to the path of the strictest. virtue, all my thoughts centered in her. What a life of secluded vet elevated virtue I had hoped to lead, with her as my guide and helpm-ate "P And in his deep aguish the brave Eustache let his head fall bosvly on the broat-oatthoba good priest, who drew sear to support him. The Chevalier de Toesty rose hastily to retire to one of the recesess of the windows, to hide his emotion. Father Gabrielle made him a hasty sign to leave the room, and pointed sig nificantly to a crucifix that was suspended at the head of the couch. The Chevalier, un derstanding him, detached it from the fasten inlbs, gave it to him, and retired. The good Father wailed till the first burst of feeling had subsided, for convulsive sobs choked his utterance and his whole frame quivered with emotion. "Sou," said the priest, "look upon this image of your crucified God--sacrificed for you; he now demands a sacrifice in return. Do you refuse T" "No, father," replied Enstache, "His will be done, and my legitimate grief shall bear holy_ fruite. I will sanctify these emotions to her memory; and I vow at your feet, and before this blessed image of my Redeemer, to conquer this vain hope of earthly bliss, and to devote myself in future to deeds of disinterestedness and generosity." CHAPTER VIII. A week subsequent to the events related in tire last chapter, the pealing of the bells of the Cathedral do - , and the full swell of the organ announced that some ceremony of unu sual solemnity wlsaboint to tak place. Jose pihine de Tonty was to make her religious pro fession. Sie was about to renounce the world with aill its pomps, its vanities, its in trigunes, the family and all its holiest ties; and in Lisn of these the humble Sister of Charity wohul receive her simple habit, the cross, aiu, the institutes of her order. Fat.her Gabrielle assisted the officiating bishop, and when the last vows were pro I(noltuledil, when she was sealed with the divine signet' as the bride of Heaven, "As one wiho will lollow the ILat, whilbersouvor he "tuthl' the geonl Father asa-ceded the steps of"iho ae tar aind addressedl the.hearers With great vio qi tsd .AM t/L.lhtsbo a.

As the ceremonies closed, the bevy of girls that surroundele Josephine drew near to give her the kiss of peace. The organ ceased to vibrate, the lights were extinguished one by one oil the altar, and shI wai s left with the stern .Iuties, the practical realities, of her new life. Yet there was no gleam of regret on her fair brow for tho world she had left; -lnt a may of pedfect Ilias seenmt to illnumnate the up turnted gaze.

Although his face was partially iluitled ill otlls of the quaintly cut cloaks worn by the gvetle men of that period, it was easy to recognize Enustache de Brcman. CILAPTERt IX. It was about the 14th of July when the little fleet of the Checalier_ Eobert de LthaY _l! set Iail from La Rochelle. It consisted of three ships and about two hundred and eighty Imen. The vessel under the immediate command of lile Chevalier de Tonty contained one plriest, Father (Gabrielle, and three Sisters of Charity -Josephine was one among the number. La Salle was accompanied by Eustache de Breman, as his secretary. His recent disap pointment hald nimmated rather than abated his courage anr zeal. The chastened exproes sion om. his noble countenance proved that dis appointment had thrown its darkening shad ow only to refine and lend new dignity to the snffrer. He followed on in this expedition, where others went to achieve conquests. For him the great conquest was achieved-he had con quered self. lie had realized in the very prime of life that earthly happiness is too precious a boon to be-within the grasp of mortal power. He felt truly, when he oonmenced his wander ings, when the future spread before him her uninviting realities, that henceforward his watchword must be "Vineere eat vivere." lie nlow enjoyed the beauties of nature with a keener zest. The sea beeatne a new source of pleasure-he would stand for hours on the deck contemplating the sky above, and the immeasurable depths of the waters below. At these momenta his soul seemed relieved of every weight and care, he enjoyed that do lightful oalm which is ever the reward of vir tue. After a prosperous voyage the fleet an chored at Quebec about the 1ith of September. They recrnited there for some days, and then proceeded on their journey. We will not attempt to follow them in their long and peritous journey to the mdutlls of the river Colbert, (Mississippi.) They toiled on, undismayed by danger, undeterred by diflcoul ties. They proceeded on their way, exposed to the capricious shiftltRg of the weather-during the winter enduring the northern blast, laden with hail and anow, and in the summer sufis eated by the extreme heat and the vapory in fection of the malaria. Sometimes being obliged to carry on their shoulders their ca nioes and provisions, and at other times halting to cut down trees to make rafts, to enable thems to proceed with greater facility. Very soon they were obliged to abandon the few horses i and other beasts of burden, as it was imposst ble to retain them on account of the great in undations. At length it was thought advisable to send back a company of men to Quebec, un- t der the command df De Breman, to procure winter provisions, as their present stores were nearly exhausted. Two of the Sisters of Charity returned with this little band, finding it impossible to endure 1 any longer the extreme fatigues. "Seur Jose- t phine" remained, bearing, enduring, suffering, with that trud'energetie devotion, that great moral courage, which, had it. been developed through more conspicuous channels, would have been productive of deathlesn re own. But silent and unsoen, her ministrations are em balned in Heaven, or only kept in the vague traditions of the Indian. At last they had reached the vert channels through which the river Colbert di.scharges it self into the sea. They then i i;cet'ndettid the river, and having fimund a beautiful location on a sliglhtelevatien-within about two hundred usiles of the Gulf of Mexio, th.su determined " to halt and reans,- apos thwie qg Owing to tbo prudlent nnl croniil:atorey m:111n nesl of La Salle, who was both fian..td l re Spectoed lby theiative,, they had sertt with no hostilities troniu the ,Indians. 1 ev. ha:dl -tn favorablyv rl-,eived lv three of itl I trilicus and the otlir, though thley maulde lio offers of fI ieindil.ip, evinced nso uenntity. 'l'hesc fitvorn hib: poIpe)('t decided tthe C\'li e .t pic L; Salle I at once. He called a counsel, and after dcue and lun tire delibhration, it was reolved to to tae pee session of the country in the- n:tme oi Louie of Franee(. 'The scene was calculated to impress wilhi fee'lings ot'f graldetir atntd tilimity. The iintnteneii frests, whiich ipptln:t-d to hiave cot- i ti,ed undistuirtied from the ieiation: the sol .ain silence which reignted thliouIgh ths.e vast rgionils. and which was interrulpted oily by the rustling of the leave , or the waving of the bIranches by the wind. No trace of cultivation appl,eared-the earth had Iever been turned. The great river, the "Father of Wtate-rs," das particularly calculated to keep alive these im pressions. Forests as fir as thl eye could realch, covered the face of the country, and de euended to the very edge of the river, laving their festoons of beantiful white and gray moae in its reflecting waters. The Chevalier de La Salle presided at the counsel. At his right stood the Chevalier de S-r-t tt, r stat w die- i l4osed the other genitleieun of hi. snuit. To the left of this group, necir a temporary altar adorned with the iudigenous tlowers of this virgin soil, stood the prtystveilted in the robes of the ('uClln: . At the foot of the altai knelt Secur Josephine, and with her many of the women and children from the neighboring tribe, whom she had already induced to join in their beautiful worship, prelsratory to reeiv ing the rites of baptism. Very neor the altar, leaning against a majestic Oak, stoodl a beaulti ful white column and a simple cross. And inl the background of this great natural tableau were scattered here and there "rotes oi" Indian warriors, with various expreatsns o wn er, astuonishment -and ferocity plying over their dusky features. La Salle then addressed the assembly: "I, Robert, Chevalier do la Salle, in the name of hiin Majesty of France and hs sucesrocsors, do take, Juisession of this country of Louisiana, with all its Kjtas, harbors, ports- and straits; also of the immense territory watered by'the gmr .Trivertotberr-or Mississiptt. -Ands-o i s Majesty of France is a true eon of the Church, he can annex no couintry to hi.- crown without making it his chief care to establish the Chris tian religion therein. Therefore the Cross, the holy synmbol ol our religion, must now be planted." Ls Salle then delegated four of the gentlimeit nearest his pursonu and the cross was firmly planted on the snll of Louisiana. Near it was placed the column to which was ttixIed the anms of l'rance, with this inscrip tion, "Louis laO-rand, Roi do France et de Na varre, regne; Le neuviome Avril, 16idJ." - The whole party now clhanted the Te DSras, the E.raundit and the Domine eltrumn faer Itlem. And thus stood Louisiana under the shadow of the cross, najestic and lovely ahJ she came from the hands of the Creator. Long before avarice had enlmboweled her in qunest of gold-before the axe hal defiled hbet forests-before North ern invaders had ravished her soil, CIIt.ArlEt Xi Two mouths after this La Sallo returned to France, leaving a small temporary fort, under the command of Do Tonty. All things now seemed to prosper-already the earth was he inning to yield her rich harvests to superior European culture. The fall of the great trees of the forest under the sturdy strokes of the axb, announoed that the work of civil zatlon had commenced. A small church, temporary in material and slight in structure, but well suited to present exigency, was in progress of oonstrttou.on Father Gabriello and Sotur Josephine were winning many by the blessed efficacy of their words, but more by the force of their generous examples. The good Father was endowse with that perfection of grace and manner, that pet sonal address so peculiar to the Catholio clergy and he enjoyed the heartfelt, sat bringing nimany of the women and chtdren, and even some of the men, to the holy waters of baptism. Soer Josephine, too, was commencing to so quire an almost unbounded influence amongthe n:atives. The ohlldren would saseeable night. and morning around her for instruction; at ready they were beginning to. r he first principles of our holy rlgipa and oseoni few words of the Frepoh tgepaae but she was not at falt when langnage failed her, for the be~futiful symbolism of the Chaehb scarcely eeod words to impart itasoothing influence to the human heart. It is comnnon to all ages and all climes, and may be read in any .lan The fort was distant about three miles from. the slight eminence on the beaslm f the dl sissippi, where the ereos had been geoted. Prequently, towards the close of a long sumeer day, when the calm rattr of the rev were reftecting the changing beauty of the clouds above, and the whole of this vast domain of nature lay in deep repose, the good priest and the Sister might have been seen weeding their way towards the little nook which had now nssumed in the infant colony the title of ~" Co teau do la Croix," or " Hill of the Cross." The good priest generally carried some la plemeuts of agriculture, and Snur Josephine's hands were tilled with rare flowers and beau tiful creping vinea, for which shltk d garmshed the depths of the Amertcedn forest. So groat had b'eoun the care of tbwho haltivatin d ý. air a the L ress exiwMed their pliant tendrils, as If clasping it in alo tihg em bruce. As the chulrch was not yet -completed, the good Father was accustomed to assemble his ldu.ky udienre and celebrate the divinte mys ter ies here. The spot" had grown dear to all, and it was ito.-t attractive to the inmagination to lok up tu tthe lofty branches of the majestic trees o.bsunred by the deeop ell of shadow.and dreaml thlat yo knelt uhuer, the dim archer of oene vast Cathedrall. One evening, $Swlr Jose,phine was --busil enguaged n ith her unedlle, and many of the yourn Indian girls around her, eabch one en gaged with sn,me of those little arts which Italike up the occupation of the women in all countries. Some were weaving mutd, othe.rs plaiting their brilliant baskets of cane, and etlers were fetmlu:riug ir pointing the arrows of their brothers or Iovers. Presently two of t he oldest men from the village were seen has tily approaching. They wished to see the Chevalier de Tonty immediately, to infbrm himt that four of the young Indiana, aseominpnied by one of the Frenchmen, had been oaLt some distance in the woods, on a huntingepbditontl, and that they had seen and recoftred some Indians from a warlike- tribe in t far West, who were their greatest enemies. The small, Srn.. htd sn,eted tChmwdlneamons the thick reeds of a swamp, and had thus escaped nu seen. They bail just arrived at the village wit i the alarming intelligence. They deoribed in theil-native eloquence this Western tribe as the most ferocious among those who iinhaiiti those vast prairies. They were said to wersip the sun, and in their fiendish rites they I idolatrous homage to the god of fire. When questioned by DI Tonty as to their numbers they were said to be as numerous as the pigeons in the wools, or the stars in the heavens. They proceeded to give an aonount of a disastrous luvasion from these formidable savages about five wintcrn previous hen their antations of maize .ha been ouenteiy -d- ihlt many of their women and children hsd been butchered or taken prisoners. '"o deep an tna pression had this former massacre made on their fears that they were now almost wrought to desperation. They ssured Do Tonty that the sagacity and cunningof these men was not to be matched, and that the only w;y to secure their safety was to lay waste with Are a on might be aware of the stealthy approaches of the enemy, who, nnder cover of the long grass and under-wood, and the gigautie shield of the oak and cypress, were able to adtance unper ceived, and rise up at their very doors. De Tonty inmmdiataly doubled the guard, and sent out scouts with two of the lnost expe rieneed chiofa and a guide. These retutrned after an absence of three days, std-regarted that they had sell nothing. The extensive clearing was immediately corwn menced, and as both the nreneh mad Itdia's labored for their mutual safety, a great deal was accomplished in a short time. Three mouths had now elapsed; it was late in the fall; the-ittle colony was at the height of its prosperity, and nothing more had been seen or heard of their enemies from the West. It was generally supposed by the Indiana that they had heen prow ing nabot, intending aa other invasion; but having ascertained the close proximity of the whites, they had been deterred by the fear of the Areirms. This little incident had a beneficial influence on the Indians. It knit more closely the bonds of friendhlip which alwa ex:ted between them and the Freach. And *laesd it was most beautiful to witness the daily lteraeerse be tween those two little amlets. The lay side by side in the depths of the vast fare% soe together that the silvery laughter of the.maid en and the joyous prattle of the child might have been heard eehoing ftom onetothe other.
