to his scheme. Maitland was in that
frame of mind induced by his father's
bitter letter and his own.disgrace and an
abundlint supply of ardent spirits which
Price did not hesitate to minister, that
he sooner fall. Price whom he after
wards found out to be an old offender
against the law, arranged the whole
plan. That night the rathlesss deed was
accomplished, the murder, Maitland sol
'emnlyswore wasanpremeditated. "Had
I known" said he bitterly. "that blood
would have been shed, sooner would I
have died than gone." Price it was that

atupified accomplice looked on in horror.
Price founid the money where Miss Pey

his companion along made good his es

Maitland added gloomily, "never have I
enjoyed a moment's case of conscience; I
felt myself as guilty as my companion;

survived, Price's blow seemed too sure.
To drown remorse I entered the American
army, and in the war with Me aico fought
like a demon. My officers said I was the
most daring and courageous man in their
command,' but my courago was
born of despair and my nerve of re

Milwaukee remaining the head of' th
the Western province, Rev. Moth- or
er Theophila, the first assistant of in
Rev. Mother Caroline, the general th
superior of the Eastern province. siz
She isbs Bavarian by birth, is in pa
the prime of life, and has di. play- ye
ed good administrative abilities so
Sister Clarissa is her very useful pr
assistant. b3
I'he ceremony of yeste'day was itt
the first event of that kind in the ed
history of the Eastern province* ed
The taking of the seven years' vows th
is preceded by a two years' nov
itiate, At the end of the sevcan
years the perpotnal vows are taken. to
'rhose who take the first vows can Br
leave at the expiration of the seven br
years wi hout any violation of dc
obligations, but it is very rare to to
po so' fri
The young ladies who took the,
vows were Misses Otudigunda Haun,
Ellen auOney, Ellen Mitchell,
"so Emma Haner, Theresa Meyer,
tho Theresa Sch: opfer, Mary Foley,
for Mary Adams, Maggie Maber, Emma
to Marschman, Maggie Hubur, Eliza

SMary Goldsmith, Amelia Herring,
i Anni Grell, and Margaretha

ladies are from Baltimore, and the
h others are from Milwaukee and
e other parts of the country. One of
,y, them is sister to the Rev. Mr.
ter Schnuttgen, who preached the ser
ith moen.
In- Preparatory to the solemn dedi
on cation to religion, the novices
tat spent a number of days in a "re
r'se treat," during which their spiritual
an instructor was Rev. Francis Nich
oh olas Van Emstede, of St. James'.
at Yesterday at 6 .A. x. high moss

lor man in the convent chapel, where
lo the whole ceremony would have
Staken place had the chapel been
ol large enough. The ceremony was
of therefore concluded in the church,
Swhere the congregation included
at relatives and friends of the nuns
i8 and devotees of other orders includ
or. ing colored Sisters of St. Francis,
,t parishioners, &c. At 9 A. M. a
ng procession moved from the convent
ea- to the church, a non leading as

od either side; little girls in white

I and tapers in their right hands
came next; the general superior,
nf novices, and friends following in
of the procession. Those who were
'o about to take the vows wore white
ad rails and caps and black gowns,
co the sisters being distinguished from
al, them in dress by hlaving black vails.
lt The novices sang the Vine Crea

sir all the singing during thie coremo*
'as ny being by the novices and nuns.
re- They stood within the sanctuary
no railing, the little girls with light
do ed tapers, in the rear. Rev. Francis
11- Schnuttgen, of St. Boniface church
'1'- Philadelphia, preached.
a- Rev. Henry Dauenhauer, rector
,d St. Jumes, propounded the usual

h and said the prayers for the ser
ot vice. The Suscipe me, Domine.
I was sung by the novices three time
of each time with raised vo'ccs, as an
n offering of themselves to God.
y The vows were received by thec
of general superior, Rev. Mother
.h Theophila. They advanced one by
one to the front of the altar, where
1- the white vail was removed and the
if black vail put on, the young sister
0 kneeling, the clergyman conduct
$ ing the service reading prayers and
a the Mother superior and sisters
t changing the robe. Over the
Sblack vail a crown of thorns, in
n which a few flowers and twigs of
-myrtle were intertwined, was
I worn by the young sisters. The
vails and crowns lay at hand on a
o tray oil the altar, and were bless
ed by Rev. Father Dauenhauer as
r each sister was endued with the
symbols.
r Rev. Fathers Lyman, of Gov
ansfown, Trippler and Golb, of
Ilchester, assisted in the services,
Rev. Father Van Emstede, being
master of ceremonies.
The newly-received nun, when
vailed and crowned, slowly ..glided
bhick-to her place hands claspud in
prayer and eyes seekipg the floor,
while was heard th'T. low, sweet
singing, with organ accompani'
ment, of the Poseit, or Bridal
Song of Heaven.' Wlhen all had C
returned to their places in front of
the altar the inky blackness of the
still form's in place of the snowy C
whiteness which had given some
'variety of coloring to the scene a
minute before assisted to increase
tihe feeling of awe in the assem
blage. Suddenly every black form
fell prone upon the sanctuary floor
on the face, and in another instant
the large black pall was diawn
over the prostrate devotees, shroud
ing them from sight. The priest read
the burial service, and the other
sisters sang the Mortun Esmes. The
pall was deftly removed and the
young nuns arose, remaining for
some minutes on their knees in
prayer. The benediction was sung
by Rev. Father Dnuenhauer,nud at
its c'ose the procession was reform
ed, only black vails having replac
ed the white ones, and returned to
the convent.
