THE IRON TRADE.—The preliminary meeting of
tl e S. uth S:affordshire Ironmasters will be held at
Wolverhampton on Tuesday (this day), for the purpose
of taking into consideration the state of the trade prior
to the quarterly meetings of the week ensuing. From
the best information we can obtain we believe we are
justified in stating that no alteration in prices will be
made during the next quarter. Such at least we have
reason to know is the present view of the trade taken by
most of the leading firms in this distrUt, and it is a
source of no small gratification to find that amidst the
commercial embarrassments of the country, the iron
trade should have stood firm and unscathed amidst so
tearful a crisis. We understand that the suspension of
projected railways and new branch lines will be a relief
rather than at: injury to the leading manufacturers, as
the contracts entered into at the commencement of the
year, together with the current orders, will keep most of
the works in South Staffordshire fully employed for
many months to cotre.—Birmingham Journal.
FORBIDDING TIIB BANNS.—This rather novel and
public mode of ruffling the smooth current of love, and
if possible snuffing out the honeymoon ere it be risen,
was resorted to by a disappointed damsel in Chelmsford
Church on Sunday. It seems that a gay widower had
wooed and won her, and then with the hardness of a
heart seared by seine 50 years, had turned him carelessly
away, and, falling into the meshes of a fair widow, who
with more experience than her rival promptly proposed
to bind her captive in the legal fetters in such case made
and provided. This intention was accordingly notified
from the desk, when the slighted one thus challenged to
assort her claims, rose, and " in accents low and weak"
forbad it, afterwards retiring to the vestry and pleading
prepromises and plighted vows as bars irrevocable to
the widow's pretensions. But it is doubtful whether the
law ecclesi tstical can stay the course of matrimony on
such grounds ; and it may probably be left to the civil
courts to fix the value of the widower and the weight of
the broken promise.—Essex Herald.
A NIGGER STOGY.--In the fall of ---, during my
usual round at night among the negro huts on the plan-
tations, to see that all was right, I put my head in at
the door of one, in which some half a dozen curly heads
were snoozing, with their feet to the fire, built in the
After surveying the group for an instant, my
attention was drawn towards the movement of a nigger,
who, half asleep, slightly raised his head, and muttered,
u I smell foot burnin'.' After pausing a moment, and
adding, anxiously, " Who foot dat a turnin' ?" and re-
ceiving no answer from the sleeping group, he reiterated
the question, with more emphasis, " Who foot dat a
burnin' ? I say, dat your'n, Cuffie Sayre." Still no
answer; when, drawing himself up, he reached his hand
towards his feet, and exclaimed, in the most satisfied
tone imaginable, " foot burnin', by golly!" and
quietly stretchel himself' out to sleep again.—Teague's
Travels.
DON'T GIIUMBLE.—He is a fool that grumbles at
every little mnalanee. Put the best foot forward, is an
old and good maxim. Don't run about and tell ac-
quaintances that you have been unfortunate. People do
not like to hpvt; unfortunate men for acquaintances.
Add to a vigorous determination a cheerful spirit ; if re-
verses come bear them, like a philosopher, and get rid
of them as soon as you can. Poverty is like a panther
—look it steadily in the face, and it will turn from you.
It was decided the other day, by the Stockport
magistrates, that the absence of the husband in America
tor a continuous period of four years, without any in
t mation of his being alive, would widow his wife and
enable au order in bastardy to issue in her favour, as
though she were a single woman.
