TRUE STORY OF TWO LOVERS.
BY EDWARD SIMON.

Young Julietta, feeble and SUI
fering was the object of the cares O
Hermosa and Paolo. This one hat
attained his fifteenth year and Her
mosa was twelve, when the dealt

souls the secret of tears, and the
sorrows of separation, Both OIL

body of their friend, covered &C
cording to usage, with flowers and
her festival clothing, her head
turned towards the Madona. 1t
was there in presence of these sad
remains of inevitable destruction,
that Paolo and Hermosa with feel
ings celestial, animated with long
ings still unknown to them, their
hearts filled with thoughts of an
other life, swore to one-another q
love eternal. "Saro di Paoio or
di morte," 81 will belong to you
Paolo or to DEATH" said Hermosa
almost suffocated by fright and
from whose lips breathed promi
SEES of love, mingling with the
grave accents of the prayers for
the dead. "Hermosa, replied Pao-

of the youth rested on the already
faded wreath of flowers which cir

"Cosa STA, let it be SO answered.

Often Hermosa accompanied Pao-
10 to the Villa and took great
pleasure in showing to her the pa
laces and their surroundings. Dn

her lovely head at the feet of he

court which witnessed in the shor
space of two days, the triumph
and the death of her unfortunate
mother Cardinal Medicis haG
involuntarily trembled when he
contemplated those features which
reminded him of those of Biancs
in her glory, but he soon became
composed, and his reception of
Hermosa turned suddenly all the
attentions and all the homsges of
the courtiers towards her. The
eyes of HermOsa sought but those
of Paolo; they met. What thought
flowed from that silent eloquence
What sovereign could boast of a
subject more devoted than Paolo.
Oh! how intoxicating was the hap
piness of PaOlo when in the midst
of festivities he would catch the
sweet voice of Hermosa repeating
the oath of their childhood "al-
though a princess, Paolo, 1 will be-
long to you or to death" But
this happiness was soon to end.
The Cardinal was attached to his
niece; but when he showered ia

sight Of the celestial beauty of
Hermosa, two criminal designs,
took possession Of the perverted
soul of this inhuman uncle, to
possess her and disgrace her. Not
only did HermOsa repel with hor-
ror his crazed wishes, but she
threatened her unworthy relative
to tell everything to the grand
duke and to Paolo Dorsini. This
sealed their fate. Dorsini away
