Died for Love.

A Constantinople lad fifteen years
old destroyed himself for the love of a
girl eleven years old, who. not rcquit,
ting his love, told him pettishly that
he might kill himself. perhaps after he
had threatened to do so. He took O
dose Of cyanide of potassium and lay
down in front of the girls fathers
house, having previously addressed to
her the following note. my Dear
Rosa: will have, by the time you
get this letter, faithfully obeyed your
command by killing myself. YOU
hated me, I loved you. / still remain
yours w. Ii. Brace" The corespon-
dent who narrates the incident ex-
claims: Poor ladl Unsympathetic
and world hardened old fellows laugh
at what they sometimes call calf love-
But early love is a very serious thing
to some young and POLITICALLY sensitive
natures. Dante, We read, loved when
he was only nine years old, and Burns
and Byron were almost as precociously
inAammable. There are people here
who take such measures of things as
to feel less interest in the demise OF the
whole Berry Ministry than in the ear
ly death of this poor boy, who thus
:" shook the yoke OF upanspicious stars !.

own name, age, &c. first and then com +.

Of age. She gave her own age as 90
years, which was satisfactory to the
official. But when she came to her
