The young man who ac- companied her, and to whom she was betrothed. cried out that he would give a hundred dueats to any one whe would stop the horse. The young villagers who were playing bal! upon the green near by, sesing a woman in danger, threw themselves before the furious animal. Que of them was thrown down and wounded, two others received contusions; the herse fell, and the beautiful Wilhelmina was yolled in the dust. A young man who was passing, immediately threw his cloak over the lady before any one else had time to perceive 2 finely turned leg and a pretty garter. Mademoiselle Terscheling, on being carried home, had time to reflect; and the result of her reflections was that there never must be two men in the world who hadseen her garter. Ske sent for her betrothed and said, -‘Will you kill the man who threw his cloak over me?”’ “Who,I? What an enormity '”’ “I thought you would refuse. Then Ishall marry him. When my life was in danger you offered one hundred duents to save me. This is the price you set uponmy hand. Here are Pista | five hundred. You have made a good sin.” She then sent fur the stranger. “Monsieur,” zaid she, “I am rich and young, and (she blushed prodigiously while adding one of these bypocritical phrases by which women speak ot their beauty) I am aot considered repulsive. I wish to marry immediately. I zee that you are surprised. Ihaye sent for you because you have seen my garter. You have rendered me a great rervice, Monsieur. Without you allthe young men of Buxmecr would have seen it, and as I could not have married them all I should have killed myself. But if you are not free, or I am not so happy as to please you, I shall give my hand and my fortune to the man whe will kill you. Do you accept’ yes or no?” “Yes; a thousand times yes! a hundred thousand times yes!”’ The marriage took place. and was like al! ‘ther marriages probably; we have no partic- ulars on the subject. All the young men of Boxmeer were invited to the nuptials, and Fumptuously feasted. At hear death, which took course of time, the following e to her will: “My farm, situated on the borders of tho Meuse, will remain forever, whoever may be the proprietor of it, subject to the following conditions. Every year, under penalty of for- feiture, on the thirteenth of May, tables sh be prepared, and @ tun of strong beer, and twenty ells of the best sausages in Rotterdam, shall be served to the young men of Boxmeer. as a token of gratitude that they saved my life, and of rein that they did not see my garter on the 13th of May, 11756.” Until the present time, that is, daring « hundred years, the wishes of the testatrix haye been punctilion-ly exeented. But the present heir, on the 13th of last May, attempt- ¢d w elude them. Under pretext of conform- ing to the decimal system, he gave twenty me- ters of sausages instead of twenty ells, which made a difference of four meters to the youth of Boxmeer. Not to lose their fete, they devoured the twenty meters ‘‘under protest;"’ but this year they have brought suit egainst the heir, and demanded that the case be decided before tho 13th of May. . Ea What are you,”’ asked a railway pans senger of an obtruse official. “The pA i tor lace in the cil was found “What's your name?" ‘Wood.’’ “Pooh!” exclaimed the querist, ‘that cannct be. Wood is a non-conductor.”” MOVEMENTS OF OCEAN STEAMERS.
