The Oays OF Old.

A curious instance oil q lady awaiting
herself, in 1910, of the right TO appear by
champion in a breach Of promise OF mar
Rage case, is mentioned in tho memoirs oil
the Marechal de Vielleville. The husband
Of Philippe de Montespedon having died in
Piedmont without issue, she Vas lett q
young, itch and beautiful widow, ard YES
sou ght in marriage by several noble sun a.
Amongst these was the Marquis de Salnces.
10 whose attentions she seemed to listen IA
vurably, and she permitted him TO accom-
pany her from Turin to Paris. IL turned
out, however, that the sly dame merely
wished to have the advantage Of his escort
ON the journey; and when she arrived al It's
termination. she cavslierly dismissed him.
saying, 'Adieu, sir! your lodging is a. The
hostel des Ursins, and mine at the hostel
Saint Denis, close to that OF the Aueustins.
The Marquis still persisted in bis suit; but
as Philippe continued obdurate. he asserted
that she had made him formal promise OF
marriage. and cited her TO appear before the
court of parliament. She came there, at
tended by numerous company Of friends,
and. having been desired by the president
to hold up her hand. she was asked whether
she had ever promised marriage 10 the Mar
quis, who was then present in court. She
answered upon her honor that she had not;
and when the court proceeded 10 press her
with further questions, she exclaimed with
passionate warmth, Gentlemen, / never
was in a court OF justice before; and this
makes me fear that may not answer prop
erly. But to put a stop to all caplious cav
ling and word-catching, swear in the face
Of this assembly to God and the king-Io
God under pain Of eternal damnstion to
my soul; and to the king under the penalty
of loss OF honor and life-that have never
given pledge or promise Of marriage to the
Marquis de Saluces, and, what is more, that
never thought Of such thing in my life.
And il there Is any one who will assert the
contrary, here is my cheyalier, whom offer
to maintain my words, which be knows are
entirely true. and uttered by the lips Of a
LADY OF honor, il ever there was one. And
this do, trusting in God, and my good
right, that he will prove the plaintiff TO be
begging the pardon OF the court,) a villain
Gus liar This spirited defiance caused no
lutte sensation in the audience; and the pres
ldeut told the registrar that he might put up
his papers, for Madame la MARKETABLE had
taken another and much shorter road to-
ward settling the dispute Then addressing
the marquis, he asked, well, sir, what sa '
you TO this challenged But the love. as
well as The valor OF the latter, was fast
oozing away; aud the craven knight an
swered by very decided negative. i want

It she does not wish to have me, do not

obeisance to the court. he prudently retired,
