Soon after the unhappy restoration Milton was of-
fered the place of Latin Secretary to the King, which, not-
withstanding the importunities of his wife, he resolutely re-
fused. His answer to his wife's entreaties was—" You are in
the right, my dear ; you as other women, would ride in your
coach—for me, my win is to liveand die an honest man." We
dare say, there are writers now in existence who would not
hesitate to declare, if pressed upon the subject, that Milton
was a consistent fool, and his wife a sensible and di?creet person.

On Thursday a gentleman, very well dressed, was
interrogated before the chief of the police, then conveyed to
the great prison, accompanied by a police officer and a gen-
darme, and some hours afterwards he was found dead in his
room, having hung himself with his cravat. He was sus.
pected of having committed a great crime in France.—Brus-
sels Paper.

KILKENNY PIGS.—One night, in the early part of
last week, a farmer residing in an adjoining village, inconside-
rately put a cow, on the eve of calving, into a barton with a lot
of hungry pigs, and on going the following morning to look
after the hopes of the family, he found the voracious swine had
not only eaten up the new-born calf, but had finished the cow
also, leaving nothing but the horns and the tail. We do not
vouch for the whole truth of the story.—Dorset Chronicle.

It appears from a record found in the archives of
the Westminster Corporation, that formerly there was a cer-
tain SUM allowed to one of its members for " pricking the new
tunes into the music books." May it be permitted to inquire
of the Dean and Chapter when this payment was first discon-
tinued, and who now misappropriates the money ? Improve-
ment in the musical service of our cathedrals becomes hopeless
when we find those who are the most interested in the welfare
of the Corporations the first and foremost to close every ave-
nue that might tend to bring about such a desirable event.
When last, we wonder, did any of the Deans and Chapter s
request the composition of a new service or anthem ? and
during the last half century how much has been expended in
purchasing new works, or employing the talents of our English
composers ? We would venture to say such a return, if made,
would not produce a sum equal to the annual income of the
poorest Dean in Christendom.—The Musical World.
