Two years since, a young, beautiiul, and rich lady oi Bologna, married the descendant ola faintly w. ii known to history, and whose iilus i: tous name was all tiie fortune which tiiebridf iroom possessed ; r-t.t the generous Colognes**, in lie atdor of her attachmetit, overlooked the pnv *r! v of her iov<-r, in the hope and expectation of i proper return of her disinterested love. For :t year all was happiness: but ktst summer, wing on an excursion to Venice, they fottried an lcquainlance with a family, finm Paris. A young widow of that family, very gay, beautiful and Fascinating, and possessing a prolusion of golden ressi s which might have done honor to the head >f an Eve or Ophelia, attracted trie attention of he Marquis Dei'a R . Her other charms might nave failed, hut her ringlets were irresist ible : and lorgetling the attractions of his young ind lovely marchesa, whose rich dark hair would tave vied with a Capello, a C'ornaro, or even a Juliet ol the Capnlets, he became ensnared !.y the Fair head of the lively Parisian. After a month, the ftimiiv, including the gav u tdow. returned to Paris, and in another t4 l;11le nont!ithe mtnquis received a pressing call to Home upon business of importance ; and leaving lis iadv to return to Milan at leisure, he took : *st tor Paris with all possible expedition, where lie had been a lottnight before the neglected tnar ahesa, v.'lto had returned home, discoven d the iingtthir error in the compass, bv witicli iter lins und's course to Rome had been diverted, by means of a triendly letter, aptu ising her that her husband was incessant in attentions to the blond est of beauties, and her constant • #cort to the Theatre Italian and other places of amuspiupnt. The iadv called her brother to her counsels, ind they concluded to follow the marquis to Paris without deiav. Previous to her departure, tin* ody was busy in making research" s of a singular lature. 'Tim troubled times of Italy, during the rttestine hroil#, had furnished traditions and memories of melancholy catastrophe* by steel ind poison, antl not a few were the modes by which sure antl sudden death might be*inflicted. I was shown, at Ravenna, in 1840, bv the oresent countess of Boissy, (La Gnicciola ot Byron,) one of these poignards with blade of crvs al, manufactured at the Lagunian Island of Mtt *ano, in the cavity of which was concealed a iubtle poison, and which, upon the blade being jroken in the body, became diffused in the blood )f the victim and caused sudden death. In the archie vvs ol the family of the jealous ij.ly were notices of a in it-loom, in the bu m of TERMS, S2 PEIt YEAR. VOL XXIII, NO. 35. a ring, concealed in th** setting of which was a small cold slob**, and in the interior of which was inserted a jroison similar in its eflT-cls to prussic acid. This could be borne in the moiitli without dancer, unless crushed by the teeth, then instant death would follow. Secure of this valuable jewel, (he dt 9 j rted marchesa arrived at Paris, and was received into the house of her kind friend, who was married to a financier of eminence m the city, and a rnong many drcumstnnces calculated to disturb her, site learniVl that her husband was, the next Monday, to attenf! the fair widow to a ball to be given at the house of the former deputy of the Session which, with many other things, was bro ken up in ISiS. To this ball her friend consented to accomjfe. any her, and the hour impatiently expected at length arrived. J? he.j jn black velvet, with rich laces, which set off to advantage her clear com plexion, dark eyes and hair, she was superb— she uas dazzling. With fire in iter eyes, ma'- ' iesti c in her deportment, the haughty heautv strode through the room, (the crowd opening as she advanced,) and proceeded to a little salon lighted by lamps among flowers, and at some dis tance from the orchestra. There she awaited her dreadful rival and her companion, intending to appear suddenly before them, confound the lady, freeze her inconstant husband by a glance, and then to complete the catastrophe. The pair arrived. Taking her friend by the hand, the marchesa rose, putting into her mouth at the same time the fatal hall. The mptal was thin, and at the least compresion of the teeth, the deadly fluid would be ejected, and she would fall a corpse before the thunder-stricken pair. Behold this beautiful woman receiving atten tions with a smile upon her countenance, and holding in her mouth the subtle poison which was soon to consume her, and vet with an aspect of apparent satisfaction! The marquis was waifzing with his beautiful blonde. .Restraining her emotion, the marchesa cho?" a star ion where, in the turns of the dance, she would have the most favorable position to burst upon them, w hen a conversation hetween a neighboring couple attracted her attention.
