Sixty Years In Prison.

Mary Valentine, 80 years old, was
dying last night in the female depart>
ment Of the Tombs prison. She had
spent sixty years Of her life in prison
although not as . prisoner. For the
past forty years she has been rolun.
tary prisoner, and for twenty-five years
has not been outside of the Tombs
prison, except two days annually. that
being New Year and Fourth Of July.
She was very peculiar woman, mover
bright nor ambitious. but scrupulously
clean aud tidy in al her habits, and
faithful to . fault a. tho voluntary as
sistant Of Matron Foster in the Tombs

pied its present site Mary Valentine

in the Summer Of 1893. Her father
cied while she was yet a child. AS a
young girl she always sought her own
way, and as she grew up she was 50
vayward and disobedient to her mother
that she was sent to the House of Ref
uge, and from there transferred to the
old Bridewell, then in City Hall park,
on the Broadway side. After she had
served her tine in Bridewell she was
bound out to a Mr.. Curtis, then prom.
incnt resident Of this city. She took
to drink, and was frequently seen 10
the police courts. When, however, she
found that liquor was getting the mas
terry over her she gave hers IF up te
prison life.
When the Tombs prison was built BY
John Haviland in 1888 she was one o.
its first inmates, and for forty years sh,

Friends the Jewels Of Earth.

People who have warm friends are
healthier and happier than those who
have none. A single real friend is a
treasure worth more than gold or prec
ious stones. Money can buy many
things, good and evil. All the wealth
10 the world could not buy a friend or
pay you for the loss of one. "f have
wanted only one thing to make me hap.
py," Haslett writes, but wanting that
have wanted everything; and again,
my heart shut up in prison OF rude clay
has never found. nor will it find, hear,
to speak to-" We are the weakest oi
spendthrifts if we let one friend drop
off through inattentiop, or let one push
away another; or if we hold aloof from
one for petty jealously or needless slight
or roughness. Would you throw away
a diamond because It provoked you
One COED friend is not to be weighed
against the jewels Of the earth.--Lon

saving life was ny an immediate and
terrible operation. The choice was sub.
mitted to her Of certain death, or this
fearful passage to recovery. The poor
creature sank at frat from even life at
such price; then, trembling, she
said: IL think il Lady Augusta Stan.
y were but with me l could 20 through
it.
ln haste a messenger ives sent to the
deanery, where Lady Augusta was
found, dressed in readiness to fulfill an
engagement at Buckingham Palace.
Without a moments hesitation, she
wrapped cloak over her magnificent
attire, and went straight to the hospital.
Where Christ called her, in the person
of His suffering poor, there royalty it
self must wait. She stayed with the
poor, tortured woman, nerving her to
endurance by the strength of her sym.
pathy and presence, until the surgeon .
work was ended, and relief and rest
had come; and then from the hospital
ward went to the palace to apologize to
the Queen for he r late appearance.
There are not many. either men or
women, to whom IT. can be said "Go
and do thou likewise" for the souls are
few IN this world who have won to such
Christ-like powers of sympathy that
their very presence carries with it
strength and comfort in lfe's sorest
need.-- Globe.

Age for Legal Marriages.

There is considerable variation in the
different European states in the age at
which legal marriage can be contract.
ed
In Austria the age Of discretion is
fourteen years. In Hungary each re.
ligious sect makes its own regulations,
marriages being regarded a. entirely
ecclesiastical affairs.
Russians can contract marriages at
the age Of eighteen in cases Of females.
The Italian law fixes tho age At eighteen
and fifteen respectively. In Turkey
there is no general law. The French
and Belgian codes allow marriages Of
young men at eighteen and girls at fif.
teen years, but tHe powers Of dispense.
ton 10 special cases are reserved. In
Greece, Spain and Portugal parti Of
fourteen and twelve can contract q
binding marriage, but in the latter
country the consent of the parents il
necessary.
According to the amended paragraph
Of tho civil marriage bill the state o.
wedlock cannot be entered upon uniel
twenty and sixteen years respectively
though the existing laws of Prussia snt
Saxony permitted marriages at earlie1
periods.
There is mu.h dissimilarity in th'
Swiss laws, every canton having repn
lation Of its own. In some Of them th,
consent of the parents is necessary NJ
