A little English village, near Weston,
super-Mare, was recently the scene Of
much talk, on it being reported that the
widow of a farmer was about to marry
one of the laborers on her farm. The
rumor arose in this way; Among the
employees on the farm in question was a
laborer named John, who hitherto had the
credit of being rather deficient in intel
lect. Some friends, by way of a joke,
persuaded John that it would ne ne bad
thing for him if he could become master
of the estate on which he worked, adding
that the widow was open to an engage
ment, and that all he had to do, by way
OF making preliminary ARRANGEMENTS,
was to put in the askings at the par
ish church. This John accordingly did,
but the afternoon following the publica-
ton of the banns, several friends called
at the farmhouse and congratulated the
widow-who was in entire ignorance OF
what had been done-on her determina-
ton to again alter her name. The lady,
who was somewhat indignant, at once
sent for the culprit, who, on putting in
an appearance, was severely censured
for the step he had taken. Poor John
protested his ignorance OF the great sin
be had committed, and offered readily to
withdraw the "askings, but to no such
proposal as this would the fair relict'
listen. Said she, " You have scandal
lied my character in the eyes OF the
world, and marry me | am determined
You shall" Hodge had no alternative
bat to consent to such terms, and the
marriage took place.
