obtain possession of the Island of

A very strange suicide was recent

A very strange suicide was recent
ly committed in Paris. 1t proves that
reverse of fortune cannot always be
borne prudently or contenedly. 1t
appears that ,gill named Hortense,
OF respectable family, having been
left all orphan some time ago, was re-
ceiyed into the house Of an aunt, who
treated her with kindness. On the
death of her aunt she was left with
out resource, and her other relatives
showed no disposition to assist her.
She was consequently obliged to goin-
to service, and got a place in the fam
lily of a superior officer Of artillery.
She conducted herself with great pro-
pretty, bat gave way to profound
melancholy. On a certain evening
her master gave a party, and she was
employed to hand round refresh
ments Whilst 50 engaged, a lady,
one of the guests, who had been an
intimate friehd Of her aunt, reeog-
missed her, and spoke kindly to her
The girl cast down her eyes as if
ashamed, ana suddenly quilted the
room. In the hustle Of the party her
absence was not remarked. The next
morning she did not appear at her
usual hour, and her bed room door
was found to be fastened. No reply
having been given to knocks, and a
strong smell of charcoal being expe-
rieneed, the commissary Of police was
sent for. II e caused the door to be
opened, and the girl was found seat
ed in an arm chair, quite dead, dress
Cd in an elegant toilette. She had
suffoeated herself by the fumes of
charcoal. In one hand she held
sheet of letter paper, on which was
written "Not being able to ace u.s.
tom myself to serve others after hay-
Ing lived in a better station, quit
world in which | can never find a
moments peace"

Tine with it4 destroying hand, with
its annihilating breath, with it's
irresistible agGnd y, may have swept
from your recollection the name Of
the individual VIII now writes to you.
But by the kindness Of an|intimate
and dear friend, ] have this day been
put in possession Of two numbers Of
the FayetterqNd Wserrcf, and you can
hardly realize tho tho usand boyish
recollections that crowded themselves
upon me whilst nerusing them. So
familiar were the names there con-
tanned, that il seemed / could almost
see the faces and persons to whom
they belonged. 30 vivid the impress
sion, that ! almost fancied myself
again in my native village. But
years have passed, and numbers with
whom | associated in schoolboy hap
piness, have left, like myself, the
scenes of their juvenile, their happiest
days; others, alasl have gone to their
long home, while others still in the
staid and sobermo od Of men in mature
years, are peacefully passing their
lives amid the ? leasing scenes that
first RECALLED then in their infancy.
How strange it seems to me re-
alize the fact in reading your paper,
Il see the name of some early and
familiar classmat@. now styled cat
torney at Law another as a Doctor
of Medicine, ano Their again a Mer-
chant; but the fa ct has to be real
lied, and it is wit lively and pleas
ing satisfaction that / enjoy such
realizations 5. Among ether pleasing
matter which / see in your paper, is
that Lincol In county has new er lost
sight of her tru E andt genuine de-
mocracy- still clinging with increas-
ing tenacl ty to principles which
rightly appreciated will max e a ma
ton happy With such recoll ections
and pleasing memories TO gently force
themselves upon Us, may none whose
pride it may be to call it heir ma
tive place, ever forget, or remember
with other than emotions Of pride,
that Linccl p county was their native
place.
But | am taking much for granted,
In thus fol cling apon you a letter
that may 10 all possibility be any
thing else than pleasing; but have
to hope that your natural kindness
will at least excuse me fox thus in
truding myself in to your sanctum.
But my real object in writing to
you, is to have 70 r paper sent reg
ularly to my address. .
