ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.

Singular and Fatal Predictton.--A most
melancholy tale Of real life is related IN the
last Madrid Journals. A gentleman named
Don Gonzales L'loudries, is nov being tried
IN that city for the accidental murder of
has father and mother, some years since.
II appears that during NapoIeou's inva-
sion, Gonzales, then youth and much de.

day out Of church at Cordova where he re-
sided was accosted by one Of those forlofn
people called in Spanish gi,ands (gypsies,)
who TO operate more powerfully on his
sympaihies, promised otel him his fortune,
for which purpose he accompanied the IN.
d.yidual TO their encampment. There he
was told that be would murder in Ger.
tain number Of years, his own father and
mother; who, it was declared, had both EN-.
ned against their God. Gonzales was
dreadiully impressed and made wreiched
with this, to him, unaccouDtablc prediction,
as he knew nothing to justify the lmpreca.
ton against his respectable parents. He
went home, and fell into profound melan-
chOly. What was his horror to learn now,
for the first time, that both his parents had
been the tenants Of converts and violated
their vows. Immediately he became pung-

sible, the commission Of the crime designa.
ted for him, by retiring, unknown 10 all the
world, TO some distant mountains; which
he did, and in solitary ravine built him a
hut, and devoted himself TO religion and
