This was my first interview with Eugenia Cormille. I Had seen her. here ( for months, the leader.of our gayest and most fashionable society. In her splendid mansion she dispensed the most profuse and elegant hospitality. ! j T A Spanish lady a widow she had represented herself and had been a resident here almost a yead ; No one ever suspected .her of being aught than! what she seemed, until one day, I was Or dered to arrest her as a murderess. ' j ; It was now alleged, said Mr Fj, that this young beauty was no' other than the woman' who had poisoned her husband in Havana, and fled with all his wealth. ! n immense reward was offered for her apprehension, and the circumstances that had come to Our knowledge, pointed her out be yond all doubt as the person we were in search of. Yet had the person who recognized her the evening before at the theatre advised ?us to be careful lest she should escape us. ' I laughed at the idea, i Mr I. and myself were surely suffi cient to arrest a lady, i We were old enough in? the ways of cunning to defeat any such jattempt. When the lady left me, I stepped to the'window, and said to Mr I., who was waiting at the door: - "The lady desires to send a messenger for a friend; suffer him to pass." j I Almost at the same instant the door of the apartment the lady had entered opened, and a youth apparently a mulatto, boy-rrcame out and j passed hurriedly through the room into the hall, j aud troni'i thence? into, the street. . It was, no doubt, tbe -j messenger,' . I though and I picked up a book and commenced reading. Nearly an hour passed, and still the lady did not make her appearance, nor did the boy return. The friend she had sent j for must live at some distance, I thought, or the lady is unusually careful abput her toilet ; 'and so another hour went by. At last"! grew impatient, and knocked at the door. Madame, I cin wait no longer." There was no reply. I I knocked repeatedly, and at last determined to force an entrance. Strange fears harrassed ;me; 1 began to suspect. I knew not what. It took but a moment to drive in-the door, and, once in the apartment, the mystery was revealed. The robes of the lady lay upun thei floor, and scattered over the room were suits of boys' wearing; appareV -similar to that worn , by. the huulatto. i 0n a table was a cosmetic that would stain the skin to a .-fight, delicate brown. h . L ; ; I was foiled, for a surety; the lady had es caped in the .disguise of a messenger. I should have detected the ruse; I fek humiliated, and determined to redress my error. I knew he would notj rediain in the city an instant longer than she could get" away, j I hurried to her bankers, but found she had drawn the amount due her an hour before. M "Who presented the check?' I asked the clerk. ,: . ! - , 1 ' "A mulatto boy. It was made payable to bearer."; . ' j ! :..;' M .. v ; There was yet a chance. The French steamer left1 within an, hour ; it was possible she would seek that means of escape, j I jumped in a cab and arrived there ten minutes before she left the wharf just in time to assist an aged, decrepit gentleman into the cabin. There were few pas sengers ;' none of them answered the description of the person I sought. I stood - on the wharf watching the recedjng vessel until it disappeared; I was in he act of turning away, when a hack man approached me with the remark: VMr F.i, did you see that old man -on board ; he had a long white beard, and hair that fell on his shoulders?" I j - "Yes." ?! i-': .: :, : l Well, sir, there's something curious about him." i , - -J. r -.:';! why?" (.;.. i'i .;". " ;.::!

I will not repeat the expression I t then it was neither refined nor polite. - knew the" vessel would be far out to" sea before" she could be overtaken, i I was; fuiled by a woman. Nor could I help rejoicing,; now that'the chase was over, that she had escaped.- I Innocent or guilty, there was a charm about Te none could resist. .

JM ; (tbe officiating clergymin,) entered the sanctuary and ascended the altar, the young lady , (who , was about to leave "lha world) entered in full, bridal j dress, wearing a veil and orange wreath, and accompanied by a Sister of the order on cither side. t' ; Approaching the railing of tho sanctuary they knelt, as did the- small congregation - present which consisted cf a few uworIdly ones'' and ft number of. Sitters, who occupied their small pews at the right, and bore each a lighted candle. Appropriate remarks wero then made by Her. Father Stoneslreet. -Tho altar itself was decor atcd and. lighted as for the celebration of -tnass. The services began with a , chant by tho Sisters, and prayer by. Father Stonestrcct. The applu cant was first questioned as to whether she had fully and freely determined to leave tho world and enter the sisterhood, to whjch sho uniformly answered "Yes?' aodexplained her desire at length. :j'; . H.- h Prayers appropriate to the again oilcred, and - the wreath ceremony wer and veil . thrown off, and the white dress of the novice exchanged for the dark heavy gown of the order. The hale was cut and the hood and veil of a Sister substi tuted for the more elaborate- head-dress of a wo man of the world. Again the suppliant vai offered a choice between a life m the world and a life devoted to the Lord, when she again diiN tinctly repeated her selection. j . She was then told that she should no longer be called Theresa Oourcelle, but Sister Msry Lewis, and that henceforth she was dead to tho world.. Here (according to tho , ceremony) sho prostrated herself, with her face to the floor, and her body was covered with a black pall,' indica tive of death. A solemn chant was sung for some minutes, while she lay prostrated.' j 1 After this she rose, again approached the fail-4 ing, received the crucifix and a lighted candle, and further prayers and instructions touching the good choice she. had made in devoting her- self to His service who had said, Suffer littlo children to come unto me. n The whole cere- raonv is j bcautuui ana interesting, ana is n al lowed by. the associations which surround it front carlv time. '" 1 Roman Wives. j , From Leekv's History of European Morals. The legal position of the Koiniau wife was fox a long period, extremely low. The lloman faml ly was constituted on the principle of the abo!ut authority of , its Jiead, who jbadj the power flifa and death both over his wife jind over jhts chil. dren,.and whoould repudiate the foxier it wilL Neither the custom of gifts toj tho lher cr Hie bride, nor the custom of dowries appears to uuxo existed in the earliest period of Roman history; but the i father disposed . absolutely of the hm of his daughter, and somctiijies possessed the power of breaking 6iT marriages that had actually been contracted. In the forms of marriaga, however, which were usual injthe earlier pcriodi of l!onie,1the absolute powcp passed into the hands of her husband, and ho had the right, in some cases, of putting her - to 'death. Law ans! .public opimou eomoiuea in mi uking matrimonial purity more strict. For 520 there was no such thing as a years, it j was said divorce in Home and even after this example, for many years tho marriage tie was regarded as absolutely indissolu ble. Manners were so severe' that a Senator was censured for indecency because ho had kissed.', his wife in the presence of their daughter. It was considered in a high degree disgraceful for a lloman mother to delegate to a nurso the duty of suckling her. Sumptuary laws regulated, with the most minute severity all the details of domestic economy. Tho courtesan class, though probably numerous, and ccrUiply uncontrolled, wv regarded with much contempt, j The dis g " of publicly professing themselves members " o as believed to be a sufficient puoishracot'l and- i old law, which was probably intended to teach ra symbol the duties of married i life, en joined that no such person should touch tho altar of Juno.

A lloman writer has appealed, on the whole with greater justice' to the treatment of wives by his fellow-countrymen, as a proof of -the superiority of Ronijii to j Greek ciTiliratlod; He has observed that, while the Greeks kept their wives in a spcc'al quarter in thci interior of their house, and never permitted tCxm to sit at banquets ! exceptant h.' their" relatives, no lloman ever besitatedrto led his wife with hita tj the banquet, or to l-cothe mother of tbt family at the beau 1 ' Ublc.
