This life is vale of tears shed by

If we wept for the sorrows of others,

of the stern and sturdy stoic to dam

Who are the pure in heart? Not
those whose outward lives wear ths
semblance of extreme sanctity-z6ot
those whose voices are loudestfn the
songs of praise and whose good
deeds are blazoned forth TO the
world. The truly pure in heart are
positive, shy, unobtrusive men and
women, who traverse their appointed
way as modestly as some hidden riv-
ulet flows through a quiet vale.
There is no fretting or foaming, or
dashing impetuously onward. Their
course is marked only by the fertility
and beauty which attend it.

FACTS.

We met several old friends and
formed many new acquantances and
found the people of Mexico Sec
ond to none in sociability and free
heartedness. On Wednesday morn
ing the fair association provided
transportation for all who wished to
view the fair grounds and witness
some spirited horse races. A large
number of the pushers of the faber,
with their ladies accepted the offer
and spent an hour very pleasantly.
Our thanks are due Mr.. Sam Locke,
Of the Mexico Savings Bank, for
courtesies on this occasion. We'd
nesday night Prof. Yancey, president
Of Hardin College, gave an enter
tainment complimentary to the as
sociation which reflected great credit
upon the professor and his school.
Great credit is due Bros. Cook and
White for the active part they took
in seeing to the convenience and COM
fort of the visitors, and to the good
people of Mexico in general for the
pleasant entertainments which were
provided.
The I,telligencer and the LEDGER,
from each of which institutions en-
anates a halo of intellectual efful-
gence, and with the city's handsome,
high lowered and commodious church
edifces, all serve to remind us
that in the midst of all these tempor-
al blessings these good people are
not forgetful of the God who has SO
beneicently smiled upon them.
During our stay we were the guests
of our old uncle, Judge Thos. j.
Marshall, who, though very feeble,
was quite cheerful and seemed to be
living in the enjoyment of plenty,
knowing no wants or attentions which
are not supplied by loving children.

ton National bank and of the Rockiand Saw
ipgs bank. and holder of other large trusts,
who was arrested in Portland, Wednesday
night, and brought to Boston, Thursday
morning, was taken before Commissioner
Halleu, charged by the bank examiner with
being defaulter of the Abingdon National
bank to the extent of the $4,000. United
States District Attorney Stearns said the gov
ernmsnt would claim that Lane was an en-
bezzer to the extent of $3.50, 900 and would
ask that he be held in S75 200 bail Lane
pleaded not guilty. He stated that the bank
was interesle ed and had invested Sl700 in
money in the leatherbosrd business in Sac
carsppa, Maine, and that he was on his way
to inspect the property. Bail was finally
fixed at $780, 900 and the case was continued
until july 18th. Lane was unable to secure
bail and was lodged in Jail
ABISGTos, Mass. July J..
The news regarding the alleged deia!cation
as Richmond J. Lane. created an intense ex-
eitement, and soon a large number Of depos-
itors were on hand. Thus far all of the checks
presented at the National Bank have been
honored, but it is stated the bsnk will stop
payment soon. The Savings Bank il regard
ed as perfectly safe, and but few depositors
have withdrawn their funds. The Arlington
Savings Bank had about e25. 900 on deposit
with the National Bank, but it Is eaid TO be
regarded as perfectly safe. In Rockland
there has been no run on the Savings Bank
of which Lane is president, but Sarger
amount of business has been transacted than
usual.

was being settled in quiet manner, and
would, in the course Of few days. be ad-
justed in satisfactory manner. The Sac
carrsppa property is largely in patents,
whiea will of course depreciate if allowed to
lie idle any length Of time.
The bank was in = measure interested in
those works as well a. Mr.. Lane. MIR. 4. N.
Stetson of Whitman. said, The publication
Of the affair. of course. had a tendency TO i'm
pair the credit Of the bank. but as regards its
solvency 1t is perfectly safe. In regard to
the Saccarappa property there seems to be
misunderstanding, for il was by no means
failure. 1t could hardly be called brilliant
success, but We were in hopes that BY Friday
il would be in such condition that outside
capital would be interested in il. There has
been no embezxlement, aud Lane was in
Portland with the full knowledge Of the
directors. He had no idea of leaving the
