Runaway Marriages.

The marriage laws Virginia are very
strict, full account Of the age, parents
names, occupations and residence beng
required from both parties before license
is granted. A clergyman who marries
minors without the parents consent is
liable to imprisonment and fine of
$4,000 1t is probably owing to these
safeguards about marriage that divorces
are so rare in Virginia. Before the war

sea, the town on the bay, and the village

DEAR WILLIAM In my last | recon-

nobody can know our thoughts, and yet
from a slight observation of mankind one
would not think so. What mischiefs
daily arise from silly garrulity and fool
ish confidence! There is an excellent
Scots saying, that a mans mind is his
kingdom. 1t Is certainly so; but how
few can govern that kingdom with pro-
priety. The serious mischiefs in bust
ness which this fiux of language occasions
do not come Immediately to yom situa-
ton; but in another point of vlew-the
dignity of man now is the time that will
make or mar. Yours is the time of life
for laying in habits. You cannot avoid
it, though you will choose, and these
habits will stick to your last sand At

Ingenuity of Fraud.

In 1879 gentleman of eminence in the
mercantile world was grieved by the con-
tents of letter which he received from
a correspondent at Hamburg, the
post-mark of which it bore. From the
statement it contained, it appears that a
person most infinitely described had de-
frauded the writer, under extraordinary
circumstances, of $4,000. The letter CON
tinued to say information had been OBJ
tanned that the defrauder-the dress and
person whom it described - was occasion
ally to be seen on Dutch walk of the road
exchange. The object Of the writer was
to induce his correspondent to invite
the party to dinner, and by any moral
force which could be used, compel him
to return the money; adding, that if he
should be found amendablc to reason and
evince any signs Of repentance, he might
be dismissed with a friendly caution and
five hundred pounds, as he was near
relative of the writer. AS the gentleman
whose name it bore was profitable cor
respondent, the London merchant kept
keen watch on the Dutch walk, and ! as
at last successful in meeting and being
introduced to the cheat.

and the host, having previously given no
tice to his family to quit the table soon
after dinner, acquainted his visitor with
the knowledge of the fraud. Alarm and
horror was depicted in the countenancc
of the young man, who, with tones APP
parently tremulous with emotion, begged
that his disgrace might not be made pub
lie. To this the merchant consented.
The visitor sighed deeply; but said to re-
turn all was impossible, as he had unfor-
tunately spent part of the amount. The
remainder, however, he proposed to yield
instantly, and the notes were handed to
the merchant, who, after dilating on the
goodness of the man he had robbed, CON
cluded his moral lesson by handing him
check for $500 as proof of his benefi-
cencc. The following morning the gen
tleman went to the banker to deposit the
money he had received, when to his great
surprise, he was told that The notes were
counterfeit. His next inquiries were con-
cerring the check, but that had been
cashed shortly after the opening of the
bank. He Immediately sent an express
ts his Hamburg correspondent, who re-
pied that the letter was a forgery, and
that no fraud bad been committed upon
him. The whole affair had been plotted
by gang, some of whom were on the
continent and some In England History
