No FlatterY.

a curious incident occurred at one Of the
prayer meetings down town last week. An
unrlnous brother, wLo, it appears, is a kind
of outdoor clerk for one of tn lottery
swindIes situated In Broadway basement
not far from the Park, and who has been
long noted as one of The hardest kind #
characters, after chucking ont in nasal sIasms
a general confession of his sins, and eXultng
over his curious ''"onver>on,' besor ght the
prayers of the assembly in hi: behalf
His request was immedate Y complied
with lv Younger BROTHER who seemed well
posted on the past career aud present mode
of life Of Tie oily "conN er"
This gentleman instantly set up a feryid
prayer ia behalf Of ''Brotler l." He
impl"red for mercy for the corpuent sinner,
although. as he averred. "BroGher LIS
long life of fraud extended beyond the reach
of mercy that was not infinite in its nature
Brother l. rather WINGED at this literal
compliance with his own solicitation, bu,
quite regardless of This, the scathring sup.
p'icalor went on. Thou knowest," he pro.
ceeded, that no sinful wretch stands in
greater need of mercy than Brother l..
Forgive him for his robbery of the widow
and the poor forgive him for his long life of
freud! Turn his heart this day from lusting
after the nefarious profits of the policy us
ness! Awaken him to a knowledge of the
sinfulness Of false pretences, and the pur.
chase Of stolen goods, and inspire him with
determination to pay his dehts,'
Quite a lively alteration ensued outside a
few minutes afterwards, between Brother
l. and the gentleman who had PRAYED
so pointedly in his behalf, which would pro-
badly have terminated unpIeasantIv but f r
the interference Of a policeman. ". Y. payer
