About this time, Mademoiselle GELLIMERT
seemed to have attained a state of apparent resig-
nation, which led us to hope that before long, she
would. recover altogether her health and spirits.
Through the interest of DR.. {. l.. she obtained Il
situation in a great cotton mandatory. The pro-

GELLIMERT rendered his presence less constantly
necessary, coufdea the management Of the concern,

such a salary as would with her frugal hsbits,have
enabled her to lay up a handsome provision for her
future years. About this time, the Duke de RI
CHELIEU went out OF office; and MoaANBEHT, as
he had surnised, lost his situation. In The couver-
satons we had upon this event, Madenoiselle
GELLiMERT spoke with respect of his talents, but

dismissed, returned to his native province, where
there are several extensive iron works. The pro-

not the slightest inquiry relative to Madetnolselle
GELLIMEKT, though he met both the Doctor and
me more than once. This circumstance seemed
deeply to affect this unfortunate girl; for 1t appears
that Notwithstanding her apparent Indifference and
expressed contempt for his character, she had al

she learned that he was actively employed in his
native province, and that his ambition, though 1t
had changed its object, did not the less absorb all
his thoughts, she appeared completely heart
struck, and sunk into a state of melancholy stupor
that lasted several days. From this state. how
ever, she aroused herself, but evidently by a great
effort, and gradually assumed, at least, outwardly,
a philosophiC resignation, which in aa. ordinary
character, might have passed for good humor. The

as ifspeaking TO herself, This has lasted too long,"
and before we could be aware Of her intention, she

room, got on the halustrade, pronounced the words

pavement. Wild with horror we rushed down
stairs, but on reaching the street found her lifeless.
A crowd surrouni led her body, from more than one
of whom were heard the expressions, " Non Dien!
