We take the following romance from the Paris
/ OpiHiOne Rati0Hale
Tuesday last two cofins entered together the
church Of Good News. They were followed by
man Seeming the pray Of a profound grief, and
| by a considerable crowd, Of which one remarked
the absorbed sadness. The d8msel Palmyre
| milliner, dwelling with her parents, was gifted
with charming exterior, to which was added
the most amaible chsracter. Also was she very
much sought in marriage. Among the aspI-
rants to her hand she had the distinguished
SieuT B., broker, who expressed for her lively
passion.
Although loving him very much herself she
held it her duty, By ilisl respect, TO ssbmit TO
the wishes Of her pareDt5 and TO marry the SieuT
d, clerk in business house, Of whom the So
cial position appeared to them more advantage
Gus than his rivals. The marriage was eelebra-
ted four years ago
''' The Sieurs B. snd D. were intimate friends
Though having together NJ common interests
they cease not to see each other. The mutual
love Of B. and Of PalmyTe, become dame D..
had by no means enfeebled itself, and as they
forced themselves to compress it, it augmented
itself by the very reason Of the violence which
one did to It. To Try to put it cut B. took the
- 10
man possessing eminent Qualities, and be did
al bis possible to love her. but he was not slow
to perceive to himself that this heroic mssus
was impOtent to cure him. Nevertheless during
four years, neither B. nor the dame D. failed iu
their duties That which thew had 10 suffer Is
notable TO express itself, for d., who loved veri-
tably his friend, bid him always to his house,
and when he wished to flee, constrained him to
stay.
q dFinally, few days ago, met by a fJrtuis-
GUS circumstance, the two lovers could not re-
sist the passion which dragged them one toward
the other. Hardly was the fault committed
when they experienced the renOrse the most Sc
we're. The young woman threw herself at the
feet of her husband as soon as ne came in and
said-(in sobbing) - Chase nae Kill me l
am now unworthy Of you y
''And, IS he rested, mute with astOnshmeut
and grief, she to him related her struggles, her
sutferings, the courage and strength il cost her
not to fail long ago, she made him comprehend
that, dominated BY an illegitimGte love, she had
never ceased 70 have for him the respect, the
esteem, and the attachment Of which he was
worthy.
"Instead Of cRrsing, the husband wept. B.
arrived in the middle Of this scene and made g
confession similar D. raised both and said
% You are loyal hearts and good; the fatality
alone has rendered you cUlpablos L have read
in the bottom of your thought, and I have seen
the sincerity. Why should punish you for i'm
impulses which your moral forces could not re-
sistl The punishment is in the regrets which
you suffer. Promise me to cease to see each
other, and you viii have nothing lost Of my e5-
TEEN or my affection
"These two unfortunate lovers hastened to
make the oath which one demanded. The way
in which their avowal had been taken By the
Sieur D. augmented their grief and their re-
morses. Chance having managed for them an
interview which they had not sought, they inter
changed views of the state of their souls, and
agreed in thinking that the death was the only
cure for their ills. They resolved to make them
selves die together next dsy, when the Sisur D..
would be absent from his domiCils.
"Afser making their lsst preparations, they
wrote long letter in which they said
'Our love is more strong than our premise.
We might, again, in spite Of US, weaken, sue
cumb. We are bound not to. No. We viii
not conserve a culpabls existence. BY our ex-
piasion we win make to see that the fault ought
not to be laid to our viii, but to the wildue5s Of
passion beyond our forces.
This touching letter terminated itself by
demand Of pardon, and the two lovers implored
the favor Of being reunited in one tomb.
"When the Sieur D. returned, a strange ard
dolorous spectacle offered itself to him. In the
4 of hal q
portable charcoal furnace, tho two lovers, lying
/ sn dressed on the bed, were closely embraced.
| They had ceased to live. This event has
caused, ia this quarter where Il produced itself,
the most lively emotion
The magnificent new Hotel de Ia Paix will
| soon be opened in Pafis. Among the improve
ments introduced for TIE convenience of its
guests is 8 telegraph Office which will not only
/ perform all tbs usual duties for such an estab-
/ shment, but will place persons lodging in the
| Hotel de Ia Psix in communication with all
those staying at the Hotel de Louvre and,
moreover, with every theater in Paris. A model
Of all the theatsrs viii be kept at the Office, and
thus, instead Of sending messengers to the most
distant parts Of the city, and waiting their Te-
turn TO learn whether there are vacant places,
seats at any theater can be secured at a mo
ments notice, and the parties can prccsed to
occupy them Immediately.
The following remarkable statement is made
IN one Of the Paris weekly papers:
An American, who realized a fortune pre-
vious to the disuniOn of the States, intends en-
plOying it in great work Of public utility. He
has bought some large tracts Of land In a deep
valley on the route Of the Northern railway, and,
in company with the engineers, is now there
studying his plan-sO vast that it appears a mad
one-of bringing to the surface of the earth the
steam caused by the central ebUlidOn Of the
globe. Wells Of two or three thousand yards in
! depth are to be dsg, and jets Of boiling water
and of steam, capable of impelling ordinary ma
| chimes, are expected to spring up. The Amcri-
can calculates that the two millions Of francs
which he is prepared TO expend in this bold ope-
ration will scarcely represent ene-half the cspi-
tai required by ten manufactures to install them
selves upon the ground with their machinery,
and that the interest Of the two millions sunk in
the scheme, say so 600 francs, is only about one
tenth of the annual expenses Of combushbles
| for each mandatory, So that it the calcula-
tons in which he has firm faith, are correct, his
| investment viii return to him the capital thus
literally sunk in less than four years, and after
/ that a splendid revenue
| Among the presents to the Princess Alice of
| England on the occasion Of her marriage to
/ Prince Louis of Hssse, were the following;
"Ths Duchess Of AthOP5 present was & presse
