loved by a young painter of Quarter Latin.

hand of their daughter in marriage, and
despair took possession ofhim and his mis-
tress. On the 9th of last March they
took poison together, but doubtful of its

operation, they attached cords to the beam
over the door, and were found suspended,
her hand in his, and both quite dead. Two
long letters were found in the room, adj
dressed to their respective relatives.
