A ROMANTIC SUICIDE.
A father, to avoid his daughter meeting a young gentleman whom he did not like, took a country house in the environs of Paris. Love", however, laughs at locksmiths. The. lovers managed to have occasional meetings in a neighbouring wood. Suspecting such, the young lady's mother upbraided her daughter for being so wilful and imprudent. The same night, on retiring to her bedroom, the parents remarked their child to be very downcast, and in the morning, on proceeding to her room, found her quite dead, suspended by a cord from the window, clothed in bridal costume, with a crown of orange blossoms on her head. She was a remarkably handsome girl, and aged twenty.
