Finding Fault.

Does it pay to find fault? You who
are the wise keepers of hearts, does it
pay? There are heavy burdens to bear
all day-manifold cares from the rising
to the setting of the sun-blunders
by those who should have known bet
ter, many thing to annoy; but don't
make cold and cherries the home at
mosphere by finding fault. There is no
blight more deadly in its tendency
nothing that can more surely disturb
the harmony of home; nothing that
will recoil more quickly upon yourself
than the habit of fault finding. Not
that errors should 90 unrebuked, or
mistakes uncorrected; but note such
down in your memory, and when the
work and care and tumult of the day
are all over, then call the little ones and
the larger ones around you, and then
tell them soberly but kindly of the
wrong-doings, and see if you are not
amply repaid for your forbearance
by the smile and the tear, and the little
word of contrition and promise of
amendment. You will be thousand
times happier when you lie down to
sleep, and a sweet forgetfulness has set
tied over your little flock, than you
would have been had the blue eyes now
closed been filled with bitter tears that
overlooked at unkind censure, or had
the little golden head dropped under the
shadow of your constant frown. How
fair, and sweet, and satisfying life might
be to us all if we would forget to fret,
and find fault and complain. Don't
save your words for praise and appreci-
alton until it is too late. You love the
little ohildren--the dear little children!
And if they do speak loud, and leave
doors open that should be shut, and dis
turb the order of the house, don't find
fault. 1t won't paw

my dear brother John to have my Ii
brary remain intact, if possible For

THEPATIENT ANGLER.

An angler sat by an old sawmill.
And angled away in the flowing rill,
Dreaming of fish that, traditions saw.
Deep in those waters hide away;
Pickerel, perch eel, and bull pout
And legend whisper, speckled trout,
This last named fish must be taken on spec
No man ever saw his head or neck
One man has seen the end of his tail
Going down stream like an express mail.
Br+ to our tale: As said before,
1 he patient angler sat by the shore,
And the tools of his trade around him lay,
Tackles, dun, brown red, speckled, and gray
And flies artificial Ofevery hue,
Miller, grubs. and grlsshoppers too;
And good old Waltons Angler Complete I!
The fsherlnan'4 Bible lay at his feet
And thus he sat and angled away,
| gently spoke to the fisherman gray,
'Hnlloa nv friend how goes the fight
With the fnny tribes Had'st e'er a lite =
Not vet 2 he sighed and whispered low
I've only been here dav or so"
Time rolled on and passed that way.
There sat the angler. old ana gray
The hornet had built a nest in his hat,
His shoes were the home of Il a porting gnat
And yellow jack Is were conf to rest
Within the folds Of his pea
Earwigs, horsehies, and the beetles brown
Were sporting around his snowy crown
But there ne sat by the old sawmil,
Happy, ctntented, and patient still
As thus lie sat and III ,sled away
| gently spoke 10 this fisherman gray,
"IiallOai my friend how goes the fight
With the fnny tribes Had'zt Ger lite
Not yet, he sighed, and whispered low.
I've only been here a month or 80,

Validity of American Divorces.

We reported last week some remarks
by the president of the probate and di-
vorce court in granting the prayer of a
petition of divorce. The facts which
gave occasion for them are simple
enough; but the principles which they
lay down are of the first importance.
Mrs. Briggs, the petitioner, married her
husband in England in 1862. Both of
them were English subjects, resident
here, and they continued to live to-
gether until 1868 In that year he
quilted this country, went to the United
States, and took up his abode in Kansas.
Sir James Hammer was satisfied that he
did not intend to settle permanently in
Kansas He had left England not from
choice, but necessity, and III order to
escape his creditors, and he meant to
return when better times came. But in
1873 he procured from some court i'll
Kansas divorce from his wife on the
ground of desertion, and few months
afterward he went through the
ceremony of marriage with
another woman Was this divorce valid
in the view Of the English court? Mrs.
Briggs application for a divorce from
her husband could not be entertained if
the matrimonial tie had already been
cut, and it was desirable to ascertain what
was the effect of the decree of the Kan
sas court. In that state justice appears
to be little loose in its ways. 1t is not
too fastidious or tight-laced as to forms
The Kansas courts are no friends of what
Milton termed the bondage of cannon
ical tyranny in regard to marriage. they
do not ask before entertaining petit
ton for a divorce whether the applicant
is domiciled in the state; it is enough 10
have resided there for ten or twelve
months. They do not seem TO even take
very much care that the person who is
to be divorced has notice of the
proceedings begun against her. They
will be content if the petitioner states
on his oath that he has posted a letter
notifying his intention, and that he has
advertised it for three weeks in some
Kansas newspaper, the contents Of
which, it is assumed, cannot fail to meet
the eyes of all whom they concern.
Sir Jemes Hammer has decided that a
divorce obtained in this facile fashion
cannot be recognized here. He comes
to this conclusion, not in consequence
of the unfairness of breaking the most
solemn of contracts behind the back Of
one of the parties to it, but apparently
because Mr.. Briggs was still an English
man by domicle, and because the Kan
sas court bad no jurisdiction to pro-
aounce such a decree. The reasons
given by the president of
the probate and divorce court are not,
indeed parfpctiy clear IF we are IN
take it as still true that, as was laid
down by the judges in 1872 in Lolley's
case, mo sentence or act ofany foreign
country or state can dissolve an Eng
lish marriage a ri1scuto Dldtrimonii for
grounds on which it was not liable to be
dissolved uiIacolo mdtrimoaii in Eng
land, it was unnecessary to determine
whether Mr. Briggs had become DOM
icled in Kansas. 1t would have been
enough to say: This Is an English
marriage; it can be dissolved only for
grave causes such as adultery accom-

What Was Found in Banks Vault.
Baltimore Sun.

An examination of old packages III
one Of the vaults of the Merchants Ma
tional Bank of Baltimore, where they
had been locked up years ago, has
brought to light property which had
been long lost sight of by the original
owners. In one of the boxes, the key
to which was in the bank, We're discov-
cred $4,000 in first mortgage bonds of
the Pennsylvania railrad, with the in
terest coupons for the past fifteen years
attached, making the aggregate value of
the property about $4,000. These
bonds, it has been ascertained, belong to
the Hagerstown Md bank, of which
Governor Hamilton is now president. In
dealings between the two banks the
bonds were deposited with the Mcr-
chants bank fifteen years ago as collat-
eral. The then president of the Hagers-
town bank, the Hon. James Dixon
Roman, died; the cashier was super
SEEDED and that bank lost trace of the
transaction. The disappearance of the
bonds, however, always remained an
unpleasant mystery, which is now hap
PLY cleared up. The other valuable
package found in the vault Of
the Merchants bank was a small
trunk, containing papers and some dia-
mond jewelry valued at $1,000, which,
it has been ascertained, were deposited
with the bank by Spaniard for safe
keeping more than a quarter of a cen
fury ago One of the letters was signed
with the name of Mr.. Robert A. Fisher,
now president of the board of trade of
Baltimore, who, on investigation, found
that he had at the date named received
q consignment of coffee from the Span
ish gentleman, who, when here, depos-
tied the trunk with the bank, as was the
custom in the safekeeping of valuables
at that period of time. The trunk was
never called for; the gentleman IS dead,
and his heirs will get the property
through the Spanish consul. The Mer-
chants bank has been in business forty
five years, and several of the original
officers were ut their posts until a COM
paratively recent date, and, of course,
kept record of the existence of the valu-
abies above referred to. Mr.. William
L. Gill, one of the telIers at the starting
of the bank, and afterward the cashier,
died last year, and Mr.. Mifflin Coulter,
the other teller, was retired last January,
after 8. service of forty-five wears.

A Lady's Estate Given in Charity.
Salem Mass Gazette.

The will of Miss Mary G. Anderson
was filed at the Probate office on Thurs
day. 1t is dated April 8, 1869, and
there are two codicils. The requests
in the original will are the annual in
come and interest of certain deposit
in the Massachusetts Hospital Life In
surance Company to Eleanor c. Har-
vey, to revert after her decease to the
residuary estate of the testatrix; the
sum of $500 deposited in the Massachu-
sets Hospital Life Insurance Company
the income to be given to Ann s.
Eveleth; the sum of 81 900 to the dea-
cons of the Tabernacle Church in Sa-
lem, the income to be devoted, under
the direction of the pastor and deacons,
to the support of the poor; the sum of
$4,000 to the proprietors of the Taber-
nacle, in Salem, for the establishment
of parsonage for the use of the pas
tor; the sum of $1,000, to be divided
equally between the American Board
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions
and the Massachusetts Missionary So
ciety, and all the residue of the estate
to found a hospital in Salem for the
sick and wounded poor. BY codicil of
December 10, 1874, the latter bequest
is revoked, The Salem Hospital being
already established, and the residuary
estate is left in trust to the Trustees of
the Salem Hospital, to be used by them
under the laws governing the corpora
ton George r. Lord, Esq, is named
as executor. The entire estate is esti-
mated at about $4,000 Among the
notable circumstances in the long life
of Miss Anderson was the fact that the
colored domestic who had ministered
to her during the last feeble years of her
life had been her attendant nearly sew
enty continuous years, having entered
the service of Miss Anderson's mother
while Miss Anderson was young lady.
During all that long period her weekly
wages had never been increased.
