A ROMANCE OE REALITY- , W e find the following ^ihghiar ^tor^' as a fact by Mr. Jouy in hi^ “ Hermit ill the Provinces,” • a Work 'professing to detail authentic and curious hiatters relating to the various provinces of ■France. Mr. Jouy states that he fe- •ceived the narrative from the lips of Mons. and Mad. Dupre, who were aid ed in the recital by the actual letters o f the heroine. In the town of Havre-de-Grace, ^France, not many years ago, there lived an aged couple, M. and Madame Dupre. In themselves, these perSdiiagBs Wefe worthy and respected, but circlimstane- fes of a remarkable and romantic ma ture connected with their family, ren dered them objects of piectlliar idtefe'Sti Hot only to their neighbors and felloW- bitissens, but to all who visited the town of Havre. One of the near relatives Of this venerable pair was destined to a career in life such as we shall only find a parallel to in the pages of Arabian fiction. . Aline Dupre was born at Martinique in the jrear 1763. Her father possessed otie of* tlie best estates on the Island, and spared no pains or expense in educating his daugh ter, whose rare natural qualities, both Of person and mind, Well merited dfetel- opment. A t the age of fourteen, wbCn womanly charms are almost matured ifi that clime. Aline was the pride of her family and the admirtion o f alf the up* ilef circled of the colony. In privite society, no One surpassed her in Vivaci ty of spirit, in the ball room, 'the graces o f her person and movements were un rivalled ; and she possessed musical tal ents well fitted to enhance and complete the impression made by her appear ance and address. Such, was Afine Pu- pre, when an unforeseen accident gaVe a sudden turn to her prospects and for tunes. Excited by oppression, real or imaginary* n numerous band of negroes xpade their escape from their masters, find spread the most serious alarm oVel* the whole island.- Profiting by the scaiitineSs of the military force station ed there at the time, these runaways committed various outrages, and made threatening demonstrations at many different points, calling everywhere up- ontheir fellow slaves to join their stand; jsrd* Hone of the negroes in the em ploy M . Dupre bad ac,ceded to th^ energy and success tl to him. The fugitives were sprronnd- ed and captured, but only after a des perate struggle, in which M. Dupre re ceived a mortal injury. He survived it long enough to permit him J o receive from France* the OrosS; of Sti Donis* wbicli gQvemoF of. tho.ooionyv tWo Marquis de BouiUe, . had requested for him. Soon after receiving hisiirewatd, Dupre diedv recommending* with h is The Marquis de BouillftdidlDb^ HOg?' Isct the charge committed t o him. It o f a gre a t,power, and\ it was from »his j sovereign— bis crowned queen. That queen was Aline Dupre ! The>strapge vicissitudes which placed Aline in this position\ were detailed in the communi cation to her friend, nearly as fellow s : The vessel which bore .the brother and sister, intended to land on the West ern coast of France, reached the straits of Gibrailer in safety. Soon after wards, however, when the passengers, attracted by i the beauty of the even ing in that .latitude, had assembled in a group, on deck,/an: old.negress in at tendance on Aline, pointed put a dark spot in the sea at a distance, The cap tain was present at the moment, and was observed to grow pale as h e turned his eyes .on the objcRtipointvd out*, but made no remark apd the passengers retired for the, night. In the morning they found nothing but alarm on board. The vessel vvas pursued by a swift-sail ing Algerinq porsair, of a size which rendered it-ahnost hopeless .for a petty merchantman to attempt any resistance. Nevertheless the crew took their arms, resolved to sell their liberty dearjy,—f The pirates were not long in coming up and boarding, and', as rriight.'have l^en fexpected. sbon oVerpOwfered all opposi tion. Aline had kept closCby theSide,<of her brotherj deternrirned to periih With him if he'fell.and '\Vhen tbfecapture took place, she w a s bound with him to the Same chain. This association greatly lightened their sufferings, on the occa sion, but it did not last long. When the corsair reached the port o f Algiers, an order dvas issued for the conveyance o f all the 'nidle . prisoners ashore, and the reteritioii of the »feniales. \ The lan- giiage ;spokefa arotlnd her WAS Unintelli gible to Aline, but she soon bfecaine sensible 'Of the intended separation.— Her dgerny waS dreadful a t the moments the past mishap seemed to bet insighiff- cant in compdrison' w ith this crowning ill. She fell on her knees before the barbarians Of the Vessel, and used every entreaty, by word and gestures, which might have a chance of moving them to permit her to accompany her brother. Her tears and imploring looks fully ex pressed the meaning which her lan guage could not convey, but they were totally disregarded, and her brotlier was carried off with his compauions. AJI alter her resolution, biit the gCheroUs girl held firihly by the purpole. T h e slight hope which existed of her find ing in Constantinople sorUe nieanS of liberating the poor captive of Algiers, kept her fixed in the determination Of remaining with Achmet. It seemed to her as if some secret power ulged her on toward the Turkish capital. But, as she saileAXhither, doubts anil fears took possession of her mind.—- Her whole chance.of success was found ed on her personally seeing the Sultan, Abdel Hamed, or some great courtier, from whom she might beg the life and libecty of her brother 7 but she reniBin- bered, and shuddered to remember, that she might become the purchased slave of some rich !but obs'eure Turk, and might be ’ slmt out forever from the light of day among strangers. W ith these thoughts in her, mind, she pro ceeded to the presence of Achmet, and assuniing ‘ a firm and bold tone, ^she said : “ ' “ Armenian, your fortune and min4 are now in-ydiflr-'hands-. If I observed aright, you do not Confound ine With these poor, ignorant slaves, who have bodies, but no soulsJ' Such as these subjugate th'd eyes,^ u t not Jthe heart.

His manner .as sumed a semblance of respect very ,iinr usual between master and slave, and he expressed hiSTntehtion to gratify the wishes o f Aline i f possible!; Ac cordingly, when the vessel entered the port of Constantinople, and the party were conveyed to the house o f Achmet, he showed his intentions by bringing to her one o f the richest dresses- to be found in the city, this being a proper preliminary step, as he thought, tq the execution of her design-; but Aline de clined assuming the. garb, and! content; ed herself with one o f the most sim;h^e kind.

' THE BEf'lEk'iiND. A Ffithpr find mother were livmgi with their twQ children on a desert island in the nviddle- of; the ocean,;on which they had been sMpwreehed'.

The children cotild not remember haw \hey,had reached the island; they knew’ nothing of the Vast continent; bread, milk, fruit and whatever other luxury is'yielded there, were things un known to them. * . Thqre landed one day upon thq island fpur^Moors in fi small boat. The pa rents, felt great joy, and hoped now to be rescued from their troubles ; but the boat was too small to take them all oyfii:-fogether.tq the adjoining land, so the father -deterriiihedftb risk the pass age first. .... Mother and'children wept when he epibarked.in the boat with its frail pjanks, ari^.the four black men vyere about to fake him away. But he said, “ Weep n o t ! It is better yonder ; and you will ali foUdw soon.” When the little boat returned and took away the mother, the chiidreri Wbpt still more. But she also said, “ v feep n o t !
