A MARRIAGE OX SPECULATION
.The French entered Amsterdam the 20th
of Januarv, IS 15. The soldiers stacked
thijr arms on the pavement and. waited
anx'Vmsly for their billets for quarters.
JliVpite the severity of the -weather the
citizciA turned out in large numbers to
wehiijCe and admire the veterans in their

lout the, city, which for the most
.art was illuminated. At the extreme
end of the town there was a single house,
whose dark, forbidding aspect was in strong
contrast with the brilliant appearance of
the neighboring buildings. It was the
residence of the rich merchant Meister Wo
erdeii. ' He was completely absorbed in
his commercial operations, and neither
knew nor k;ared to know what w as going
on in the political world; and, then, he
was foo familiar w ith the rales of economy
to think of squandering candles on an il
lumination. At this moment, when all was joy and
enthusiasm throughout Amsterdam, Meis
tor Woerden sat quietly in his big arm
.chair beside the fire. On tho table there
was a little brass lamp, a mug of jbeer and
a clay pipe. On the other side of, the fire
'Kit an old maid servant, whose; rotundity
of appearance betrayed her Flemish origin.
.She was occupied in shoving back the
coals that had ...fallen out on the hearth,
when there came a loud knock at the street
door.
"Who can that be? Go and see," said
the old merchant to the maid, who had
risen to her feet.
A few moments later a stalwart young
man entered the room. He threw off his
mantle and approached the fire.
"(Jood evening, father," said he.
, ,ilow! IS It VOU,
William ? I did not
expect vou back so soon."
"I left Broek this morning, but the
roads have been made so bad by the army
trains that we have been the whole day on
the wav.
"Well, diet vou sec Van Elburgf
"Yes," said the voting man, seating him
self before the fire; "Meister van Elberg
consents to the marriage, but he adheres to
his determination to give his daughter a
dowrv of onl'v four thousand ducats."
"Well, then, he may keep his daughter
and his dowrv. replied iA oerden w ith a

frown.
"But, --father "
"isot a worth my son ! At vour age we
have no more sense than to sacrifice every
thiug for love, and to despise riches."
"But llorr van Elbert; is the richest
merchant in Holland, and what he does
not give now wrill bo ours at his death."
"Nonsense !" replied Meister Woerden
"Am I, too, not sick! Listen, my son

"Not another word, my son not anoth
cr word !
William knew his father too well to sav
another word, but he could not avoid ev
incing his displeasure by his manner. 1
this, however, the old man paid no atten
tion: he calmly filled his pipe, lighted it
and began to smoke.
Again there was a loud rap at the street
door, while at the same time the dogs be
gan to bark.
"Aha!" said Meister Woerden, "it must
bo a stranger, or 4he dogs would'nt bark
so. tip and see who it is, William."
The voung man went to the window.
"It is one of the militia horsemen.' said
William
A militia horseman! What can he
want!"
At this moment the maid servant enter
ed and, handed Woerden a letter. He
careiuiiy examined the seaL
"1 rora the provisional government," said
he.
His hand trembled as he hastily opened
the letter and read it. But suddenly the
old tradesman's face lighted up with a joy
ous expression as he cried :
"Good good! I accept."
The letter contained an order for four
hundred thousand herrings for the army, to
be delivered within a month.
"William," cried the old man, "I have
a capital thought. You would marry Van
Elburg's daughter and have a capital dow
ry with her?"
"Yes, father, I would; but"
"Well," leave the matter to me," inter
rupted the old man. "But see that there
are two horses ready for us to-morrow
morning, early."
The next morning at sunrise father and
son were on a journey from Amsterdam to
Broek, which they reached about midday.
They repaired immediately to the residence
of Van Elberg, who, when he saw them
enter, cried out :
"Ah. good morning, 3Ieister W'oerden !
Have you fled from the Parlez-vous t In
any case yon are welcome."
"Xo, I flee from nobody. You know I
have nothing to do with politics. I come
to propose a good speculation to you."
"Yes! What is it!"
"I have an order from the government
for four hundred thousand herrings, to be
delivered within a month. Can vou furn
ish me with that number in, say three
weeks?
"At what price!"
"Ten florins a thousand."
"Ten florins ! YesrI will furnish them."
"Very well, and now to dinner; I am
half famished. At the table we will talk
of another matter,"
Woerden introduced the subject of the
marriage, but Van Elberg could not be
persuaded to increase the dowry he had
offered to give his daughter to the amount
of a single stiver. Thev nevertheless de
cided that the wedding should take place
that day next week.
The following day Woerden and his
son returned home. Hardly had they left
Broek when the young man asked :
"I lien, lamer, you have changed vour
mind?''
"How so !"
"Have von not decided to accept the
owry onered ny Jleister art Jlburg
"Let mo manage the matter in mv
own
way, my sou, and ask no questions."
Y hen the wedding dav came, V oerden
and his son returned to Broek. Van El-
arg received them kindly, but he was so
timed, and nervous that William feared
ie had some bad news for them. His fa
thcr had no such misgivings; the old fox
inew too well the cause ol his
colleague's
isturbed manner.
"What is the matter, Meister Van EI-
urg?'' he asked 'with a sardonic smile.
"You seem to be worried about somethiiiff."
"Ah, mv friend, I am greatly embarras-
ed. 1 must speak with vou."
"What is itf Have vou chantrcd vour
m Si ml
mind with regard to the marriage. Speak
franklv; it is not too late."
"Xo, no; it s another matter entirely."
"Well, then, let us first proceed ..with
the wedding eeremou . Afterward 1 shall
be quite at your service.''
The company, therefore, repaired to a
neighboring cbureh, and in a lew minutes
the vounir people were husband and wife.
W hen they returned to the house Van El-
ud oerden to go with him into
his private room.
"Mv friend," began Van Elbure; when
he had carefully closed the door, "in ac-
kvith our agreement, 1 should with
in two weeks from now deliver to you four
hundred thousand hemnrs. Thus iar.
however, 1 have not been able to procure
ine. Ihere are none in the mar
ket; they have been all bought up."
"Certainly they have; I bought them up
ysell," replied Woerden, smiling.
'But but how about my contract?"
stammered Van El burg.
You will iuliill it. Listen, friend Van
Elberg:
Iou will some day leave your
daughter a handsome fortune. 1 shall
leave my son at least as much; it is there
fore unnecessary to discuss the future.
1 his, however, is not true of the present.
1 shall give my entire business to my son,
while you give your daughter only four
thousand ducats. 1 could not oppose the
wishes of the young people: but when 1
consented to their union, 1 determined to
compel you to do vour duty toward them
With this object in view 1 contracted with
you for four hundred thousand herrings at
ten florins a thousand, although 1 then had
all the herrings iu the market. Now, in
order to comply w ith the terms of vour a
greemeut, you must buy from me, and my
price is nity norms a thousand; vou have
therefore, only to pay over to me the sum
of sixteen thousand tlorins, and we shall
be wjuare.
While Meister Woerden was arriving at
this mercantile deduction, Van Elburg re
gained his wonted equanimity.
"I see, I see," said he; "vou are a clever
tradesman. 1 am fairly caught, and must
bide the consequences.
A heir conference ended, and the two
merchants rejoined the wedding company
as though
nothing unusual had
occurred
between them.
A week later Van Elberg went to Am
sterdam ostensibly to see his daughter,
Now the tables were turned.
Ab, Meister," cried W oerden, on seeing
his colleague Irom Broek, "I am ma ter
rible dilemma. The time is approaching
when i must deliver the four hundred thou
sand herrings, and not a cask can I find to
put them, wr
"That does not surprise me," answered
Van Elbnrg, emiling: "you bought np al.
my herrings; and 1 bought p all your
casss."

Duehcsse lace, and with bonnet, parasol
and gloves matching in everv particular.
