# Beaver v. Taylor (93 U.S. 46)/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
93 U.S. 46
Beaver v. Taylor
This action was ejectment to recover an undivided interest in certain lands situate in Cairo, Ill. The defence was actual possession under claim and color of title for seven successive years, and payment during that period of all taxes legally assessed upon the premises claimed. Rev. Stat. of Ill., 1874, p. 674.
Evidence was given sustaining the defence, and a verdict by the jury was rendered in favor of the defendants.
Before the case was submitted to the jury, the plaintiff requested the court to charge, as set forth by him, in eight several propositions. The court declined to charge as requested, but charged in its own language, and fully, upon the case as presented by the evidence.
The plaintiff excepted to the refusal of the court, and excepted also 'to so much of the charge of the court as given, as was in conflict with and variant from the several propositions' presented by him.
It is upon this presentation of the case that this court is asked to reverse the judgment entered upon the verdict.
1. The entire series of propositions was presented as one request; and, if any one proposition was unsound, an exception to a refusal to charge the series cannot be maintained. 11 N. Y. 416; 6 id. 233; 7 id. 236. All of the propositions presented were not sound; notably the fifth request could not be complied with.
2. If the entire charge of the court is excepted to, or a series of propositions contained in it is excepted to in gross, and any portion thus excepted to is sound, the exception cannot be sustained. Rogers v. The Marshal, 1 Wall. 644; Harvey v. Tyler, 2 id. 328; 5 Denio, 213; Jones v. Osgood, 2 Seld. 233; Caldwell v. Murphy, 11 N. Y. 416; Walsh v. Kelly, 40 id. 556. The charge before us was confessedly sound in the most of its points.
3. An exception to such portions of a charge as are variant from the requests made by a party, not pointing out the variances, cannot be sustained. 40 N. Y. 556; 45 id. 129; 47 id. 570. It is not the duty of a judge at the circuit court, or of an appellate court, to analyze and compare the requests and the charge, to discover what are the portions thus excepted to. One object of an exception is to call the attention of the circuit judge to the precise point as to which it is supposed he has erred, that he may then and there consider it, and give new and different instructions to the jury, if in his judgment it should be proper to do so. Ayrault v. The Pacific Bank, 47 N. Y. 576. An exception in the form we are considering entirely defeats that object.
For these three reasons, the bill of exceptions fails to present any point that we can consider.
We are also of the opinion, upon an examination of the record, that the case was well submitted to the jury, and that the plaintiff has no just ground of complaint.
Judgment affirmed.

# Beaver Brook

From Miscellaneous Poems
Hushed with broad sunlight lies the hill, And, minuting the long day's loss, The cedar's shadow, slow and still, Creeps o'er its dial of gray moss.
Warm noon brims full the valley's cup, The aspen's leaves are scarce astir; Only the little mill sends up Its busy, never-ceasing burr.
Climbing the loose-piled wall that hems The road along the mill-pond's brink From 'neath the arching barberry-stems, My footstep scares the shy chewink.
Beneath a bony buttonwood The mill's red door lets forth the din; The whitened miller, dust-imbued, Flits past the square of dark within.
No mountain torrent's strength is here; Sweet Beaver, child of forest still, Heaps its small pitcher to the ear, And gently waits the miller's will.
Swift slips Undine along the race Unheard, and then, with flashing bound, Floods the dull wheel with light and grace, And, laughing, hunts the loath drudge round.
The miller dreams not at what cost The quivering millstones hum and whirl, Nor how for every turn are tost Armfuls of diamonds and of pearl.
But Summer cleared my happier eyes With drops of some celestial juice, To see how Beauty underlies, Forevermore each form of use.
And more; methought I saw that flood, Which now so dull and darkling steals, Thick, here and there, with human blood, To turn the world's laborious wheels.
No more than doth the miller there, Shut in our several cells, do we Know with what waste of beauty rare Moves every day's machinery.
Surely the wiser time shall come When this fine overplus of might, No longer sullen, slow, and dumb, Shall leap to music and to light.
In that new childhood of the Earth Life of itself shall dance and play, Fresh blood in Time's shrunk veins make mirth, And labor meet delight half-way.

# Biography of Thomas Henry Barker

Thomas Henry Barker was presented with a bound book of speeches and writings and a large portrait on 30 April 1906 in recognition of his achievements, and this was the speech given at that occasion. He died in 1917.
T. H. BARKER
Mr Barker joined the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce as Assistant Secretary in 1881. In 1884 he succeeded Mr William Blood as Secretary.
Mr Barker formed in that year the African Trade Section whose work has led to a great extension of British Possessions and interests in West Africa. In this connection mention may be made of the large increase in Imports of West African timber, to the arrangement for Timber Concessions and the fixing of Royalties and other charges at the lowest obtainable figure.
In 1886 Mr Barker travelled over the Canadian Pacific Railway from Quebec to Vancouver, shortly after its opening, in order to see and report upon the commercial resources of the newly opened parts of the Dominion. From 1888, when the Railway and Canal Traffic Act 1888 was passed, he worked extensively in the matters of Railway Reform, including Reclassification of goods and reduction of rates.
Mr Barker also drew up important reports upon the Effects on the Port of Liverpool of the opening of the Manchester Ship Canal, and on the Administration and Charges of the Port. These reports were presented to the Mersey Docks & Harbour Board and their recommendations largely adopted by the Board. The result was substantial reductions in Rates & Dues. These matters being of vital interest to the Timber Trade, the Association was represented upon the Committees by the late Messrs J Berkeley Smith, and James Harrison and, later, by Alderman James Webster.
Mr Barker organised and represented the Chamber on a large number of Deputations to Government Departments on many matters affecting the trade of the country and of the Port of Liverpool. Between 1884 and the present time Mr Barker wrote more than 100 Memorials which were presented to various Departments of the State and which may be classified as follows, namely 55 Memorials on Home Administration and Legislation, 25 on Indian, Colonial and Foreign subjects and 20 on African subjects. Also 20 special reports ​were drawn up and presented to successive Governments, in addition to reports on Parliamentary Bills.
In the autumn of 1903 Mr Barker attended the Meeting of Chambers of Commerce of the Empire at Montreal, when he took the opportunity of again crossing Canada by the newest route; thence visiting Japan, North China, Corea, Manchuria and Siberia, travelling over the Trans Siberian Railway from Dalny to Moscow, in order to report upon prospects of extension of British Trade with Siberia &c.
Some ten years ago a Russian Section was added to the Chamber.
Mr Barker was one of a small Deputation, including the late Sir Alfred Jones, which waited upon the Czar of Russia at Cowes, subsequent to the visit of members of the Duma to Liverpool and was made Chevalier of the Order of Saint Anne of Russia.

# Bonny lass of Calder Braes (1806)/Invitation to a country wedding

THE COUNTRY WEDDING.
COME haste to the wedding, ye friends and ye neighbours the lovers their bliss can no longer delay: Forget all your sorrows, your care and your labours, And let ev’ry heart beat with rapture to day, Come come, one and all attend to my call,
And revel in pleasures that never can cloy;
Come see rural felicity, Which love and innocence ever enjoy.
Let envy and pride let hate and ambition, Still croud to, and bias the breasts of the great; To such wretched passions we give no admission
But leave them alone to the wise ones of state
We boast of no wealth, but contentment and health, In mirth and in friendship our moments employ,
Come, see, &c.
With reason we taste of each heart stirring pleasure; With reason we drink of the full flowing bowl, ​Are jocund and gay, but all within measure For fatal excess but enslaves the free soul. Come come at our bidding to this happy wedding, No care shall obtrude here our bliss to annoy. Come see rural felicity Which love and innocence e er enjoy.

# Bonny lass of Calder Braes (1806)/The pleasures of the Primrose Bank

THE PRIMROSE BANK
ON a primrose bank, by a murmuring stream, Pastora was singing and I was her theme; Whilst charm’d with her beauty, behind a green bush. I listen’d to hear her sweet tale with a blush.
Of all the young shepherds that pipe on the reed, ’Tis Damon alone I can fancy indeed; I tell him I value him not of a thrush, Yet surely I love him, or why do I blush?
When I went to the grove, at the top of the hill, ​It was the last May, I remember it still,
He brought me a nest of young linnets quite flush, And I the kind present receiv’d with a blush.
Whenever he meets me, he’ll simper and smile, I seem as I did not observe him the while; He offer’d to kiss me, I gave him a push; Why can’t you be easy? I cry’d with a blush.
One Sunday he came to intreat me to walk, ’Twas down in a meadow, of love was our talk. He call d me his dearest—Pray, Damon, be, hush, There‘s somebody coming, I cry‘d, with a blush.
My mother she chides when I mention the swain, Forbids me to go to the meadow again: But sure, for his sake, I will venture a brush. For love him I do, I confess with a blush.
Thus warbled the fair, and my heart leapt for joy, Tho’ little she thought that her Damon was nigh. But chancing to see me behind a green bush,
She ended her song, and arose with a blush.

# Bonny lass of Calder Braes (1806)/The bonny lass of Calder Braes

THE LASS OF CALDER BRAES.
(Tune—Logan Water)
WHen cares were few and life was young On Calder’s braes I danc‘d and sung Unpain’d by keen remorse’s dart, Joy flow’d spontaneous from my heart! To crown the happy mundane scene, I lov’d—nor did I love in vain, The theme of all my artless lays. Was my dear lass of Calder Braes.
Thrice happy days! your loss I mourn; You’re gone—ah! “never to return:” Ambition’s ignis fatu s glare Transform’d my bliss to black despair: The pomp of war and pride of arms Appear’d with such resistless charms, I left to face my country’s faes My weeping maid on Calder Braes.
In martial conflict first I shone, In climes below the burning zone, Beneath eringapatam’s wall, I saw the tyrant Sultan’s fall Amidst the carnage of that day, Where dead and dying round me lay, ​‘Midst cannons‘ roar and lightning’s blaze, I thought on peaceful Calder Braes.
With laurels crown’d with wealth array’d, Again I sought my native shade. In hopes my long lost love to meet, To lay my laurels at her feet: Alas! I never saw her more; My sanguine dreams of bliss are o’er, My only pleasure's now to gaze On her lov’d grave on Calder Braes.
