Romance and Passion.

One Of the cleverest writer's we have tells
an interesting story n which Americans are
actors. The story in question is founded
upon the fact that a. particular box at the
Italian Opera has, this season, been regu-
larly occupied by o strikingly handsome
young woman, always accompanied by
fashionable dressed, foppish looking indivi'
dual, apparently her husband. These two
persons are Americans, and the beauty OF
the one and the affection Of the other never
fail to draw upon them the attention Of the
audience at the Haliens, during the long and
tedious entreactes Upon this basis, our
imaginative journalist tells the following
melodramatic history: bas tffrf ,..E
Miss Alice W., charming American,
had been married at "sweet sixteen" to a
millionaire planter of Virginia. The differ
ence between the ages OF the welded
couple was forty-four years--to the disad-
vantage Of the husband, Of course The
plapter superintended his own business af-
fairs. aud owning plantations in various parts
of the State, was often called away from

apnrised that the son of neighboring gentle
man visited his house much more frequently
> when he was away than when ne could enact
the host in person, which hint naturally ex-
cited the old genteman's jealous suspicious.
The real truth was that the neighbor's son
=. had fallen desperately in love with the mil
lionaire's wife, aud the lady, without positi
yely avowing reciprocal sentiment, was
mprudent enough TO sometimes accord tC
s her youthful admrer the pleasures of meet
ing, aud even, now and then. stroll with

estates.
One afternoon as the party were walking
