Too SHARP.-An amusing incident is
told of woman in England, whose hus-
band, a wealthy man, died suddenly,
without leaving any will. The widow,
desirous of securing the whole of the
property, concealed her husbands death,
and persuaded poor shoemaker to take
his place while Will could be made
Accordingly he was closely muffled in bed,
as if very sick, and lawyer was called in
to write the will. The shoemaker, in a
feeble voice, bequeathed half of all the
property to the widow. "What shall be
done with the remainder ?" asked the
lawyer. "The remainder" replied he, "I
give and bequeath to the poor little shoe
maker across the street, who has always
been good neighbor and q deserving
man" thus securing rich bequest
for himself. The widow was thunder
struck with the mans audacious cunning,
but did not dare expose the frand, and so
two rogues shared the estate.

Nor CHRIsTIAN.-An accident hap
pened on the Atlantic aud Great Western
railroad, in Ohio, says the Meadville
Republican. The baggage master sat in
his car reading at the time, but perceiv-
ing by the motion of the car that an
accident had taken place, he attempted to
jump out, but was caught between two
cars and badly jammed. He was taken
out in an insensible condition, and being
laid upon the ground, an attempt was
made to revive him, which proved sue
cessful. As he opened his eyes to q
consciousness of things, a clergyman
stepped out from the circle who surroun-
ded him, to offer prayer for his complete
restoration. He kneeled down by the
side of the victim, but before proceeding
with his work of mercy, he asked the
youth, care you a Christian 2" "No,
sir" as emuhaticaily as his condition
would allow, said the sufferer, ri am q
baggage master on the Atlantic and Great
Western railroad p' Tho prayer was
omitted.
