Of the land. Many years ago a steam
packet company Of Liverpool wished
to buy a piece Of land which was

as her neighbors described her. She
sold her land at a very low price, but
insisted upon a clause icing inserted
in the agreement giving her the right
at any time during her life to travel
with q companion IN any Of the COM
pany's vessels.
When the agreement was closed she
sold her furniture and went on board
the Hrst outgoing ship belonging to the
packet company. For years this wise
spinster lived nearly all the time upon
one ship or another, frequently accom-
panied by a companion, according to
the agreement. This was always a per-
sou who otherwise would have been a
regular passenger. but who purchased
her ticket at reduced rates by paying

would give up her privilege. but this
she would not do. Her reply was
