The LATEST ROMANCE IN PARTISAN Lire
The fashionable portion Of the faubourg ST.
Honore, Paris, is now gossiping oycra very ro-
nautc affair, which will, doubtless, ere long
form the basis of a new novel or a melodrama
The February revolution, which ruined so many
rich and honorable families, counted among It's
victims the Baron l., q gentleman belonging 10
one ofthc first families of the country, but whose
eccentriciJios had long separated him from all his
relations, with whom he kept up no oonmunca-
ton whatever Modification and distress at the
loss Of his fortune, preyed so upon his mind,
that after a few weeks of mental suffering, he
died, leaving an only child a daughtds of sixteen
years Of age, utterly pcnn8ss end alone in the
world. Immediately after her fathers death,
Sophie weut TO live. in a little garnet, and tried
to gain her living by embroidering; but she was
very t!nid in soliciting work, and, besides, she
was so poorly clad, that most ladies' hesitatcd to
trust her. As a climax Of her misi4rtunC, the
poor girl fell sick, ard would certainly have d.
ed Of misery and suffering, bat for certain lit
tie god who generally fluters around you g girls
aui directs their destinies. On the same floor
with Sophie, lived Giscomo, u pedmontese, and
followed the business of commissioner or arrand
man in Paris He was very young, had seen
Sophie often on the stairs and had not been able
to resist falling in love with her.
When he found she was sick, in order 10 aid
her. without offending her delcacy, he went to
see her and told her that rich lady, having
heard of her mis- fortunes and wishing 10 assist

poor young fellow went 10 work 80 diligently,
and so adrotiy, that through his means, Sophie
was finally received into her family, and once
more occupied high position in the world She
then busted herself about finding out the charl-
table person who had aided in her illness. She
wrote to Giacomo, who answered that nothing
could induce him to reveal the name Of the per-
sonin question. Sophie then wished AZ least, to
reward the commissioner, and she sent him, by
TIE post, a large sum in bank notes. The re-

in order, TO meet the expense for 50 long time,
he had passed bis nights in turning the wheel OF

ness during the day, and eating only bread and
cheese. After having put this letter into the
post Office, Gac0mo returned TO his garnet and
swallowed the contents Of c small bottle OF iau-
danum. Towards II O'Clock in the evening,
currage drove 10 the house, and Sophie in the
greatest agitation got out and begged the porter
to conduct her to GiGcomo's room. Arriving on
the landing they knocked at the door Of the COM
missioners room. but received 10 answer. In
the widest fright Sophie ordered the porter to
force the lock; which was soon done, and Gia-
