LOVE AND FLATTERY. --• Men admire, respect,
adore, but never flatter in love. That is reserved for the
benefit of those for whom they have but little feeling and
regard, and with whom they can afford to make free, whose
esteem is not felt and valued, and whose love is neither ap-
preciated nor desired.-Eliza Cook's Journal.

A strange scene occurred at St. Peter'3, in.Eastgate
"•
Church, Lincoln, on Sunday week. A simple man, named
Hardwick, was "asked for the first time to a widow named
erhaVing ten children for a dowry. No sooner had the
eShasltthm,
ary
cowmand been
given, if you know any just
„impediment. &c., than up jumped a perpon named
and forbade the marriage, on the ground that
causeerri
ng or
Blume,
he had a prior claim to the widow with half a score children.
The man proceeded to give his notion of the validity of his
pretence, and the scene became so ludicrous that many of the
congregation could scarcely repress a hearty roar of laughter.
Nods and becks did not silence the eager competitor for the
widoe's love and bantling:, and the clerk was obliged to go
up and tell him to hold his tongue. He was'taken into the
vestry after the service, and reproved.-Boston Herald.
ATAL ACCIDENT AT AV 0113LEY.-011 Friday
evening a fatal accident occurred at the colliery belonging
to Mr. Nightingale, Worsley. Two men, named El
Molineux and John Berry, on leaving work, signalled to
be raised to the top of the pit, and they were accordingly
hoisted up. When they reached the mouth of the pit, the
engineer endeavoured to stop the engine ; but, owing
their weight being lighter than the loads usually wound up,
the impetus given by the descending basket, and the quick
speed at which the engine was going at the time, be was un-
able to do so. The consequence was that the men were
wound up to the head of the gear, when the chain snapped
and they were dashed to the bottom of the pit, a depth of
150 yards, and of course both were were killed. On Mon-
day Mr. Rutter held an inquest on the bodies at Wortley
Stocks. From the evidence given it appeared that no
blame attached to the engineer, who was a sober map, and
had been in the employ of Mr. Nightingale several yea!?
The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death."., filL;n7,
neux was 38 and Berry 47 years of age, and WO I.save
