Stuff for a Sentimental story.

A sad love story comes from Harmony,
Me. A young lady, one Miss Marble,was
lately found drowned in small mill
stream, and suspicious of foul play we're
at first entertained only to give way to
knowledge almost as melancholy as the
conjecture. A letter found written by
Miss Marble explained everything. She
was in love with her cousin, and it was
hopeless case, as the young man had
never, apparently, thought of such a
thing. The letter was addressed TO the
cousin, and in it she said shat he had
never told her that he loved her, but that
she loved him with all her heart, and
that she could not live in this world with.
out him." Previous to Miss Marbles
death, she made two weeks visit to the
mother Of the man she loved, to live
among the scenes endeared by association
with him, and then one Sunday evening
she went out to take walk, she said, and
drowned herself 1t was a romance with
a termination tragic enough for the most
sentimental of novels.
