In the Journal t Anti dadiai et de la Patrie, published

A simple young girl living in Brussels, was latel, the
object of a new species of seduction. Two yonng men
pretended to dispute the hand of the fair damsel, and
each sought her in marriage; a third individual ap-
4seared, who called himself the father of one of the
'lovers, and offered a thousand florins as his son's por-
oon. The damsel no longer hesitated, but discharged
the unfortunate pretender. The result was reproaches
and pretended duels between the rivals, tea's, outcries,
consolements, explanations, and general reconciliation.
The marriage WAS celebrated, but how and where ? in a
tavern at a tiugal feast, where the marriage was drawn
up and signed with a pencil. The poor girl thinking
herself a wife, retired at night to the house of her hus-
band. In the morning she was undeceived, being turned
out of doors; but the following day the husband was
also undeceived. lie :vas arrested, and the affair is now
.efore the tribunals : the gay deceiver will soon be
aught that it is uct permitted to marry in jest.
