mas At this moment Mary en tered, and tdd tlni that one of their neighbors had sent her to the master of a coal baige who was returning to Saumur ; but having occasion to stop at Tour? on his way he had promised her to take charge of the two little travellers for thirty sous, which Mary had promised he should have. You'll have nothing to fear, said she, you'll go in the barge more pleasantly than in the carriage. I am sure he is a ood kind of a man, but vou must come along directly he is now pushing off They followed Ma r after having renewed their thanks to good master Thomas, and quickly after reached the riv er, when Jerom (for that was his name J the barge-master, received them into his vessel. Mary sronglv recommended him to take all care of her little friends ; then giving them a loaf and a

cood niece of bacon, she emhra- i

ced them and gave them her blcs- -sing; after which the vessel nut i

oil. The weather was serene and fine, and the vessel glided gently through the watcs ; the scene being entirely new. our little travellers felt themselves highly entertained with the different objects as they passed along : Jerom and his companions never opened their mouths but to swear, or to drink success to the Jacobins, to liberty and equality. The royal family and nobility were next the object of Jeromes imprecations, who made Gabrielle ami her sister tremble it the manner he vowed their destruction. Should you not he well pleased, said lie if all them rascals was

and every thing announced an ap

burst upon them with the greatest

tury ; to heighten their distress ;

the poor children had nothing to rn"t f 1 -i nr fYr nr l- ro I - lit if

therefore soon wet to the skin ;

Gabrielle taking Augustine in her

arms covered her as well as she

could from the fury of the storm,

whilst they both ardently prayed

to the Almighty for his divine

mercy Make yourselt easy, my

dear sister said she, we soon shall

reach a safe retreat, when I hope we shall find our good parents, in whose arms we shall forget our sufferings. Four day and nights were these unfortunates exposed to the inclemency of the weather, and to hea the wicked discourse of lather Jerom and his companions ; but they bore these evils with constancy and without complaining, hoping that a shorttime would put an end to them. About six in the morning of the fifth day, they discovered the summits of the mountains tint o-

verhang the cavern of Roscvilte ; their hearts leaped with joy at trie sight, and looking silently at one another for a moment, they cmbraced with mutual tenderness A short time afterwards Jerom put them on shore ; Gabrielle having paid him, they made for the town to. buy a lamp and what necessaries they wanted, and then proceeded with her sister over the bridge to Tours for the stone quarry. On approaching the entrance of the quarry she became irreatlV airitated nr. thr

thoughts of being alone in such a place ; little Augustine trembled with fear and cold ; they walked hastily forward, thinking every instant they heard footst.":o of persons near at hand ; ti;U however, was nothing more t:.:iu the echo of their -onn. Arrived at the earthen doors, Ga brielle lighted her lamp in order to open them, and see her way. They passed on, hut alas ! all was silent ; no traces of any oe having lately been there wer&to be found ; and shortly after! all

hopes of finding her parents there entirely vanished ; for on entering the rotunda they found all things as they left them ; they then visited the adjoining apartment, where they found the countess's and their own dresses, on the bed, just as they hud laid

them before tbelf departure for Paris Alas! exclaimed Gabrielle,!

quite disheartened at what she saw, where can my dear father atid mother be ? arc we then or-

phang ? continued she weepinsi

bitterly JLittle Augustine threw heraelt into the arms of her sister, and by caresses and tears calmed the agonies of her mind a little. We are now safe, said 6he. and

God, who has brougt us lure, can give us our parents again Do not cry my dear, you will make yourself ill, and what will Augustine do when you are ill ? O ! yes my dear Augustine,'ynu are right li t us thank God and

pray to him to protect them, and give us the fortitude anuresignation we shall want, if vVaiVrv bliged to live without tliSmEet us supplicate him to watchVer us, and protect us from harm. They then prayed, and found themselves greatly eased from their afflictions. Gabrielle then

changed her own and sisters cloaths ; for the rain having fallen the whole of the preceding night with the greatest violence, they were both in a most piteous plight, and caught a very severe

cold, accompanied by a dreadful

cough. In taking hold of her dress, which laid near her mo

tbence they breakfasted, and went to the rotunda, where they amused themselves by times on the harp and piano forte, and studied geography. With drawing, and occasional recreation from these more serious studies, they returned again to their music with increased pleasure ; needle work filled up the rest of their time until the hour of dinner, which Gabrielle prepared in a simple manner. After dinner.

when the table was cleared, Gabrielle amused herself an hour with her sister, and then they betook themselves to reading writing or embroidering until the decline of the day when they walked again in the foiest till sup. per time, or pleased themselves by reading some little, agreeable and instructive histories until eight o'clock, when Gabriellesaid pr ayers with due devotion, and read a chapter or two from the holy writing; the day being thus divided between their duty to their maker, the imnmvpmont of

the mind, and the cleanliness and care ol their persons their nio-ht shpt away in the calm repose of innocence, for their conscience could not reproach them with the least neglect to interrupt their slumbers. They never knew what it was to be idle ; constraint, fear and falsehood were equally strangers to their retreat -but one thhg was wanting to comple ar their happiness ; it was the Bight of their uear parent for whose return did they continually pray.
