SLIPPERS ON A MONUMENT.

In a church at Amsterdam there
is very ancient funeral monument
of white marble, on which are en-.
graved pair of slippers OF very
singular kind. The story of this
singularity is this: A man who was
very rich, but who was bon uiUant,
took it into his head that he was to
live a certain uumber OF years and
no longer. With this idea, he cal
culated that if he spent so much
year his estate and his life would
end together. 1t so happened that
he was not mistaken in either Of his
calculations. He died precisely at
the time he had fancied, and brought
his fortune to such condition that
after all his debts were paid he had
nothing left but pair of slippers.
His relations buried him in a credit
able manner, and had the slippers
carved on his tombstone with the in
scription, E.fen Nyt, which means
exactly.
