On Saturday, about oiie o'clock, as a heavily laden
luggage train was proceeding along the railroad from Li-
verpool to Manchester, it came in eontact with a steam-
engine with such violence, that the latter was almost en-
tirely destroyed. Both engines were thrown across the
railroad so as to obstruct it completely. The engineer was
thrown from his seat and considerably bruised. A number
of pigs were in the luggage train, and several of them were
killed. The accident occurred about nine miles from
Liverpool. _ _

A man named Pine was summoned to the Court
of Requests, Dover, for a trifling debt. The wife ap-
peared as Counsel for her husband, and pleaded that the
reason the debt had not been paid was, that her husband
had not received his election money ; but that the debt
should be paid immediately he received the promised elec-
tion money. On referring to the poll book, it was found
that the party on whose behalf this novel plea was urged
voted for the Tory candidate.—Kentish Chronicle.
Tvz-ToTALLERs.--On Monday last a person
brought his wife to the police-office, on a charge of habi-
tual drunkenness. The wife, stung by the complaints of
her husband, retorted, " You're no sober yoursel' man."—
" Me no sober r' exclaimed the man ; " it's four months the
no° sin' I joined the Tee-Total Society, and I only fell
through last week a wee ; but you wasna joined a week,
woman, till you began to smuggle, and you've scarcely ever
been sober sin' syne. There's waur members o' the Society
than me ; but as for you, you're a disgrace to a' connected
wi't."—" Haud your wheisht, man ; I keepit steady enough
till I got baud o' a drop o' your ain ae Sunday that ye had
hidden in a corner, whaur ye thought I wadna' look for't."
" Eh, Jean, was't you that steal't that ? That's waur than
ever—ye deserve to be sent to Bridewell for that itsel' ;
lock her up, policeman." The police, however, refused to
interfere and dismissed them both.—Scotsman.

A FLATTERER REBUKED.—" I will tell you,"
said Bishop Warburton to a friend, " what I said in the
drawing-room to a knot of courtiers, in the old King's time
(George the Second.) A nobleman chanced to come in,
and said, The King is not well !" Hush,' said Colonel
Robinson, it is not polite or decent to talk in this manner ;
the King is always well and in health ; you are never to
suppose the diseases of his subjects ever approach his royal
person. I perceive, then, Colonel,' replied I, • there is
some difference between your master and mine ; mine was
subject to all human infirmities, sin excepted ; yours is sub-
ject to none—sin excepted.'"
ILL-GOTTEN WEALTH.—It is not wealth that is
the evil, it is the habit of dishonesty that wealth ha gots
into. The moment a man gets wealthy he begins to cast
about for the means of getting more by the plunder of his
neighbours ; and the government of the country, from the
memory of living men to the late accession of the Whig and
Radical dynasty, has been one great joint stock committee
of management, for the organization of the plans of indivi-
duals upon this point into an operative whole. Once or
oftener has the resistance to it been put down by the skill of
the plunderers in confounding the attack on unjust wealth
with attacks on wealth in the abstract, and the awkward-
ness of the assailants in leaving pegs for the fallacy to hang
upon. But honest men may grow wiser than of yore ; and
on no point have they gained more light than on the dis-
tinction between that kind of wealth and property which
society is united to defend and that which it is united to pull
down.— Westminster Review.

PA LEY'S SUMNI BONUM.—In the company of
young men of whom Paley was one, a discussion arose con-
cerning the " summum bonum." The argument was car-
ried on by different speakers with due seriousness and gra-
vity, and several opinions, both ancient and modern, were
sifted and examined relative to this most important topic.
At length Paley cried out, " You are all mistaken ; 1 will
tell you in what lies the summum bonurn' of human
life. It consists in reading Tristram Shandy, in blowirg
with a pair of bellows into your shoes in hot weather, and
roasting potatoes under the grate in co!d."
