fphiladelnhia Racord I


In August, 1851, Mary Jane McConnelly
died, leaving an estate valued at $1,000 to
her husband, John McConnelly, and Sallie
NJ. Taylor, daughter by another husband.
Thelatter obtained possession of her mothers
will and removed to Wilmington, Del,
where she opened billiard saloon and cigar
store. The will had been drawn by John
Scanlan, lawyer, and when the husband
attempted TO obtain possession of 1t his
daughter evaded his demands, saying that
she had lost the key to the safe In which the
will was kept. McConnelly learned that his
stepdaughter had destroyed the will, and he
presented for probate copy prepared by
the lawyer from his notes. At hearing
yesterday before Register of Wills Rex,
Frank Monaghan, who had been in Mrs.
Taylor's employ In Wilmington, testified
that he saw her destroy paper, which she
said was her mothers will. A further ex-
animation will be held.

formed him on Thursday that his services as
mate were no longer necessary. He set out
IN his libel that he had faithfully performed
bis services and stuck by the vessel up to
that day. He stated that the brig never
reached Boston but was compelled on ac-
count of the death Of SO many of its crew,
to put in to Philadelphia. The surviving
seaman was represented by Mr.. Theodore

Soulless Prayer.

do not like to hear him pray,
On bended knee about an hour,
For grace to spend Alright the day,
Who knows his neighbor has no -four.
I'd rather see him go to mill,
And buy the luckless brother bread,
And see his children eat their fill,
And laugh beneath their humble shed.
/ do not like to hear him pray,
"Let blessings on the widow be"
Who never seeks her home to say
''If want o'ertakes YOU come to me-"
hate the PRAYER so loud and long,
That's offered for the orphans veal,
Bv him who sees him crushed by wrong,
And only with the lips doth feel.
] do not like to hear her pray,
With jewelled ear and silken dress,
Whose washerwomen tolls all day,
And then is asked to work for less.
Such pious falsehoods despise!
The folded hands, the face demure,
OF those with sanctimonious eyes,
Who steal the earnings of the poor.
Those sainted faces that they wear,
To church and for the public eye.
Hide things that are not on the square,
And wickedness done on the sly.
/ do not like such soulless prayers!
If wrong, hope to be forgiven.
Such prayers no angel upward bears:
They're lost million miles from heaven
