affliction is always a pleasant subject for contemplation, more especially when what are called the advantages of a good worldly position are abandoned by the individual who seeks |for more real happiness in ministering to the wants of the | poor and wretched. In England our Frys and our Ninghtin- gales are a numerous class, although their labours are not

i often brought before the public eye ; moreover, the existence

“3 | of our poor-laws diminishes to a certain extent the sphere |of action of those admirable persons who take under their ' special care those who would otherwise be totally neglected. [n a country such as France, where. the care of the poor is |for the most part confided to the Sisters of Charity, the instances of devotion and self-abnegation are by no means uncommon ; and we have great pleasure in presenting our | readers with a short sketch of the life of one of the most | celebrated of the Congregation of St. Vincent de Paul, the | deceased Sister Rosalie. | Jeanne Marie, daughter of Anne Laracine and Antoine | Rendu, a rich landowner, who cultivated his patrimony as in | the golden age of the patriarchs, was born in the month of | September, 1787, at Confort, a hamlet in the commune of Lancraus, formerly in the department of Leman, and subsequently in that of Ain. This little hamlet is situated not far from Ferney, where Voltaire lived so long a time |Jeanne Marie Renda (or, as we shall afterwards eall her, | Rosalie, that being the name she assumed on becoming a |Sister of Charity), searcely knew anything of her father, | Antoine Rendu, who, after nine years only of marriage, died, leaving his widow with three orphans. Fortunately the | disconsolate mother proved equal to the burden of her charge. | A pious Christian, she devoted herself energetically to the | education of her three daughters; and their characters were |elevated by the beauty of her ideas and sentiments, and by tke grandeur of her sacrifices. it was in the year ]802, at a period when the altars of religion in France were almost in ruin, and the most sacred edifices had been profaned by slaughter and sacrilege, that Rosalie entered upon her novitiate. Immediately after her profession the new sister was placed in the house of Misericorde, of the Faubourg St. Marceau, No. 5, Rue de \’Epee-de-Bois, at first as a simple religieuse, but soon as superior. That was the scene of the whole of her long and benevolent career. Living in oue of the most miserable quarters of Paris, she seems to have formed a mysterious

| Sister Rosalie solved the problem of the inequality between

the rich and the poor. She interposed as mediatrix between opulence and misery. Shosoftened the passions and appeased

| | counsel to expect, a fault to expiate. The rich and the,

| poor equally knew the road to it. Carriage ladies enc»un- tered there beggars and suffering cripples; and it has |happened more than once that the purple of the Princes of the Church and the Princes of this world came into im- | mediate contact with the rags of the bonepicker.

_ Daring the critical period over which Sister Rosalie’s life | extended she was visited in her humble parlour by all that was most distinguished and illustrious in the successive Governments of the country. In the greatest crisis she displayed an incomparable degree of energy and courage. Her condust during the seareity of 1813, the subsequent foreign invasion, the famines of 1817. 1829, and 1847, and the cholera of 1882, was the theme of universal admiration. Im the cholera of 1849, from which the quarter where she resiled suffered so severely, the devotion of Sister Rosalie equalled that she had already shown. She would willingly have said, as did another sister to an old soldier who remarked upon the intrepidity displayed by her in the presence of in- fected patients. ‘* You do not retreat before the fire of the enemy: the plague is the fire before which the* Sisters of Charity do not retreat.”

In the midst of popular outbreaks the guns of the barricades were respectfully lowered before Sister Rosalie. « Let pass,” said the combatants, “ let pass the mother of the poor. We kuow were she is going.” ‘ Children,” replied she, “ has uot enough blood been spilt? Is it right that Frenchmen should kill their compatriots? Should brother fight against brother 2”

A generous tear would answer such questions. She went n, giving continually her Christian advice. “ Bat, sister,

A novel sight to the stranger is the daily entrance to town of negroes frém the country with produce, They come in from distances of even forty or fifty day's travel hundreds of miles in the interior, perhaps fifty or sixty in a train, always marching in single file, one directly after the other, carrying on their heads a long and narrow basket, like a cradle, fastened on long poles, by which, when tired, they rest their load, standing it on end. They bring in ivory, wax, gum, and the general produce of the country, all of which is in this way brought to market. Filling up their baskets with city purchases, cloths, &e., they take their long journeys back again to theirnative wilds.”

Newsparer Convenrron.—A Convention of the publishers of the newspapers of Maine was held at the Stanley House, in Augusta, July 1, to devise means for the pecuniary ad- vancement of the newspapers of the State, and to consider matters of common concern, affecting its interest. It was organized by the choice of John A. Poor, of the State of Maine, President, and Elisha Clarke, of the Bath Tribune, Secretary. Most of the principal newspapers of the State were represented. A Business Committee was chosen, con- sisting of Nelson Dingley, Jr., of the Lewiston Falls Jour. nal, Russel Katon, of the Maine Farmer, Jos. A. Homan, of the Gospel Banner, E. Rowell, of the Hallowell Gazette, and John H. Lynde, of the Bangor Whig There was a

On the 27th of February, 1852, Louis Napoleon, President of the Republic, “ in consideration of the devotion displayed by the Sister Rosalie, for more than fifty years, to the cause of the poor and suffering,” decreed to her the decoration of the national order of the Legion of Honour ; and the same day M. de Persigny, Minister of the Loterior, proceeded to her house, and, in the name of the Prince President, remitted to her the decoration, together with a sum of 500 franes for her poor; and as another mark of distinction, the cross was atiached to her bosom by the Minister of War, Marshal Saint Arnaud. To complete the story of this honour, it may be added that the name of the Sister Rosalie was regis'ered in the records ef the twelfth arrondissement asa “ chevalier ” of the Legion of Honour—her sox being wo bar to the
