There Is Hope.

The statistician, and likewise the
average woman all the way from fifteen
years of age to the point when birthday
anniversaries cease to be time of cheer
and graduation, may take at least a
passing interest in table recently
printed in England to show the rela-
tions between matrimony and old age.
Every woman has some chance of being
married it may be one chance to fifty
against it, or it may be ten to one that
she will marry. But whatever that is,
representing her entire chance at 100,
her particular chance at certain defined
points of her progress in time is found
to be in the following ratios When be-
tween Is and 20 years she has 14s per
cent. of her whole probability when
between 20 and 25 she has 50 per cent. f;
between 25 and 80, IS per cent. After
30 years she has lost "a! per cent. of
her chance, but until 30 she has still
6! per cent. Between 80 and 40 it is
81 per cent, and for each succeeding
five years is respectively 2, II, !, and
per cent. ANY time after sixty it is
one-tenth of 1 per cent, or one-thou.
sandth of her probability of chance
pretty slender figure, but figures often
are slender at that age.

The Author of EsOp's Fables,

Probably every reader has heard of
the fables of Esop, yet if questioned
as to their authorship, how many could
give any account =?
The life of Esop, as it is given be.
fore so many editions of his fables, is
an invention of one Planudes, Greek
monk of the sixth or seventh century.
The same may be said of large pro.
portion of the fables which bear his
name. Scores of fables by the priests
and monks of the first to the sixth GEN.
tury are accredited to Esop. 1t is so
with many traditions.
OF the real life of Esop little is
known with certainty. "The different
traditions, opinions and conjectures of
Esop by both ancient and modern
writer's would fill large volume" "
Phedrus, Euripides, Plutarch, Plato,
Aristotle, Gellius, and in fact nearly
all of the ancient Greeks mention him.
"You have not so much as read Esop,"
was proverbial expression for ingno-
rance.
Hsop fourished about B. 9. $50, a
hundred years before Herodotus, the
most ancient Greek historian, and four
hundred years after Homer. He was
born at some town in Phrygia, and was
by condition slave, though probably
he rose above that condition, as he be-
came an eminent speaker. Most writers
also ascribe to him deformed person.
Perhaps it is on this account he got the
name of Gelootopotos as he is called
by Lucian.
Indeed, it is not material whether he
was bond or free, whether handsome OF
ugly. He has left us a legacy in his
writings that for $500 years has pre-
served his memory dear to us. And al
though in this long period the circum
stances of his life have been lost, hit
fables remain, and will continue to in
struct as they have in the past.

A Happy Woman,

What spectacle more pleasing doth
the earth afford than happy woman,
contented in her sphere, ready at all
times to benefit her little world by her
exertions, and Transforming the briers
and thorns of life into the roses of para
disc by the magic of a touch =? There
are those who are thus happy because
they cannot help it-no misfortunes
dampen their sweet smiles, and they
diffuse cheerful glow around them, as
they pursue the even tenor of their
way. They have the secret of content
ment. whose value is above the philoso-
piers stone; for, without seeking the
baser exchange of gold, which may buy
some sorts of pleasure, they convert
everything they touch into Joy. What
their condition is makes no difference.
They may be rich or poor, nigh or low,
admired or forsaken by the tickle
world but the sparkling fountain oi
happiness bubbles up in their hearts,
and makes them radiantly beautiful.
Though they live in log house, they
make it shine with a luster that kings
and queens may covet, and they make
wealth a fountain of blessings to tE
children of poverty.

An Important Decision.

In 1872 the Third National Bank of
Baltimore was robbed by burglars, who
rented the adjoining building, opened
a commission store, and drilled through
into the bank, from which they stole
$50, 1000, considerable portion of this
being special deposits. William A.
Bond & Co., customers of the bank, had
some 800, 900 worth of valuable securi-
ties in the safe, which were stolen.
These were deposited under special
agreement as collateral security for
such SUNS OF money as the firm might
borrow from the bank from time to
time. At the time the bonds were
stolen the firm owed the bank nothing.
When demand was made for the bonds,
or their value, the bank refused to pay,
on the ground that they were kept in
the safe at the risk of the owners, and
subject to their order, inasmuch as
they were not at that time indebted to
the bank. Suit was brought in the Su-
perior Court for the value of the secu-
rites. Two questions were argued,
namely were those bonds held by the
bank as collateral security, or were
they, at the time of the robbery merely
deposit at the risk of the owners ? If
no other obligations rested on the bank
than to use liberal diligence in guarding
the special deposits, did the manner in
which they were kept raise such pre-
sumption of negligence as to make the
bank liableP This last proposition in
volved the most exhaustive inquiry
into the mode of constructing vaults !;
the comparative merits of various burg
lar-proof safes (; the degree of caution
that should be exercised in the employ
ment of night watchmen the compen-
sation that should be paid to the watch
man in order to release him from the
necessity of engaging in other employ
ment during the day, and many other
incidental matters.
The case was tried over q year ago,
and the jury failed to agree. The rec.
ord was then sent to the Circuit Court
for Howard county, and the jury
brought in verdict for $29,177.S3 for
the plaintiffs, the full amount claimed.

Nine Hours in a Cistern.

A little two-year-old child of Mr.. w.
Calhoun, living two and half miles
north of Decatur, ILL.,, fell into cis-
see the he child fall, jumped in after it.
Mr.. Calhoun, who is dealing in stock,
was away from home at the time of the
accident, and there was no one on the
place, and Mrs. Calhoun, being unable
to get out, was compelled to stand in
the water, waist deep, from 8 o'clock in
the morning until 5 in the evening.
The unfortunate woman probably would
have had to spend the night in that
distressing condition, where, no doubt,
she and her child would have perished
before morning, if, by her screams, she
had not attracted the attention of some
children who were returning from
school. The school children heard her
cries for help, but it was some time be-
fore they discovered and rescued the
almost exhausted lady.

The End of 1t.

One M. BARITONE, widower, of New
Orleans, with young son and daugh-
ter, in 1859, married beautiful creole
girl in that city and sent his children
to school in New York. In about a
year he was brought to deaths door by
poison, administered by his wife, who
fed to Paris. taking much of her hus-
bands property. The latter, however,
recovered and at once sought for his
children. He sought in vain, because
the girl had married and gone, and the
son, after leading somewhat reckless
life, had enlisted in the army and dis
appeared. The father settled in
Brooklyn, and after amassing large
property died, leaving the bulk of it
in trust for his children. These chill
dren, who are William BARITONE of
New Haven and a Mrs. Edwards of
Newark, N. j., afterward appeared and
received their parents legacy. That
parent also left handsome sum with
the city Treasurer of Brooklyn in trust
for his runaway wife, who had SO near
ly, killed him. The children, some
months since, learned that the creole
wife, after living some time in Paris,
had returned to New Orleans, and that
she had died there in 1873. They
therefore applied to get possession OF
the unclaimed legacy. Proofs of the
creole woman's death were produced
and after lawsuit the money was
handed over to the children.

The German Army.

The Landsturm bill in Germany is
expected to divide the new force into
two classes the first class to comprise
all able-bodied men up to the age of AZ
who are not in the army, and the second
to include the rest. The first class is
likely to be organized into 293 land
strum battalions on the model of the
293 existing landwehr battalions, which
would add IT'S, 300 men to the German
forces. The number and strength of
the landstrum squadrons are still un-
known. When the bill becomes law
the German forces, without the second
class of the landstrum, which may not
be organized at all for the present,
will number from l, 700, 900 to 1900, 600
men. Large as this figure is, it hardly
represents the maximum aimed at.
Russia will henceforth enlist 145, 900
recruits a year, and the conscription
gives France 161, 900 men. 1t is antici-
pated that the German government will
not be long satisfied with their present
annual contingent of 1872, 500 men.
