Curious Love Story.

A very curious story is told by several
ancient writer's respecting Egirvard, a
secretary to Charlemagne, and daugh
ter OF that emperor. The secretary fell
in love with the princess, who at length
allowed him to visit her. One winter
night he stayed with her very late, and in
the meantime deep snow had fallen
If he left his footmarks would be OBJ
served, and yet TO stay would expose him
to dsnger. At length the princess re-
solved to carry him on her back to a
neighboFing house, which she did. 1t
happened, however, that from the win
dow Of his bedroom the emperor saw the
whole affair. In assembly Of his lords
on the following day, when Egirvard and
his daughter were present, he asked what
ought TO be done to the man who com
PEELED kings daughter to carry him on
her shoulders, through frost and snow
in the middle OF winters night? They
answered that he was worthy of death
The lovers were alarmed; but the empe
ror, addressing Egiryard, said "Had 81
thou loved my daughter, thon should 81
have come to me; thou art worthy o
death, but | give thee two lives. TAX,
thy fair porterin marriage, fear God, ant
love one another"

Curious Examples OF Superstition.

On the anniversary of the battle of
Bienheim, each year, a gentleman may
be seen getting off the train st Windsor,
and carrying white flag up TO the old
castle, depositing it in the hands of some
court official with great solemnity aud
ceremony. On the anniversary of
Waterloo, another gentleman proceeds
to the same place also with a flag,
although this time the bunting is tri.
color. On certain day in every Octo-
ber should you happen to be in the Office
of her Majestys " Remembrancer," in
London, you would see three very digni-
fed gentlemen, with heavy watch seals
and bristling sidewhiskers, diligently
engaged in splitting faggots Of wood and
counting some horseshoes and hob-nails.
Such are few OF the lingering relics of
the poetry Of feudalism in England,
Blenheim was given to the great Duke of
Marlborough, and Sirath6eldsaye to the
greater Duke Of Wellington, on condition
that the ceremony detailed above should
be performed annually forever The city
Of London holds possessions in the shire
OF Salop so long as certain officials make
wood.choppers and uailreckoners of
themselves once every year. What would
occur if these flags did not arrive at
Windsor, or those nails were not counted
is as mysterious as the consequences of
manning a member" in the House of
Commons 1t may be at least taken for
granted that some worthy old Tories
would be heard to deplore the fact that
England was going TO the dogs" No
body-except, perhaps Bradlaugh and
few others Of his sort-thinks of abolish.
ing those absurd though not unpictu.
rescue performances. Even Temple Bar
is allowed to totter on its feeble founda
ton, though it threaten to fall on the
heads Of passersby any hour of the day
and there seems to be the limit passed
between harmless keeping alive of
quaint old customs and the dangerous
preservation Of what is old simply on
account Of its age.
