justice to do so for the susprcssion of vice we have no right to quench the intellectual flame which deity himself hath lighted by the cold and rigid severity of monastic discipline which has a direct tendency to destroy all those kind and social feel ings that render our intercourse with so ciety so delighful through the interest of a friend who was acquainied with the superior of a convent in m i was several years since introduced to a beautiful girl of sixteen who had been a resident there three year she was the youngest daughter of a proudjut indigent nobleman who un able to support her in that sphere of ftshionable extravagance in which the elder branches of her family still moved consented to sacrifice her at the shrine of bigoryand superstition i cannot describe the emotions i felt on first beholding her to see a being so young and lovely set apart as it were from all the claims of friendship love and consanguinity and destined to be burried from the world was indeed a melancholy contemplation she was dressed in a plain white robe sim ply confined at the waist by a black girdle from which hung her cross and rosary her bright hair which was parted on her forehead was partly con cealed by a cap of pure musln ca- dova might have wrought from her form a statue that would have immortal zed his name and stewart in his proudest days would have been delighted to ro py from so fair and chaste a model of female beauty but with all her loveliness she was a mere statue a very picture her hair was ronstrained her step formal and no emanations of soul were visible in her countenance her pure fair forehead downcast eye and pensive smile spoke the extinction or subjection of every human passion and there was a cold ab straction in her manner and conversati on that showed her thoughts were not of this world on parting i asked her if she was happy with a melancholy smile she simply replied they say i am happy and 1 believe i am so poor child heaven grant that thou mays not be deceived one year after this interview i a- gnn visaed the convent lucianne was a nun he mark veil shrounded her face and form from my view and i was permitted only to hold a few mi

passions res pectively or 2d the effects of the same that is whether the bumps are so prominent in young subjects as to ena ble a professor of that science alias a skullbump fortune teller to foretell
