United States Supreme Court
146 U.S. 615
United States v. Colton Marble Lime Company Same
These were two suits brought by the United States,-in the one case against the Colton Marble & Lime Company, O. T. Dyer, _____ Archibald, and W. S. Wilson, and in the other against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company and others. Decrees were entered dismissing the bills, and the United States appealed. Reversed.
Statement by Mr. Justice BREWER:
These cases are similar in many respect, to those of U.S. v. Railroad Co., 13 Sup. Ct. Rep. 152, just decided. The lands involved are within the granted limits of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company and the indemnity limits of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Company; and the contention on the part of the government is that, because they were within such indemnity limits, they were not of the lands granted, or intended to be granted, to the Southern Pacific Company. In the first, the defendants claim under the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, and are charged to be committing trespasses upon the lands, and the relief sought is, as in the two prior cases, to quiet the title of the plaintiff, and to restrain the trespasses. In the second, a patent has been issued, and the legal title conveyed to the railroad company, and the relief sought is the cancellation of that patent, and a decree establishing the title of the government. In this case there is a further contention on the part of the government, and that is that the lands were sub judice at the time of the definite location of the Southern Pacific Company's road, inasmuch as they were within the exterior boundaries of a Mexican land grant known as the'Rancho San Jose,' as those boundaries were marked on the surface of the ground by one of two official surveys, the accuracy of neither of which had then been determined. Decrees were entered below in favor of the defendants, dismissing the bills, from which decrees the government has appealed to this court. See 39 Fed. Rep. 132; 40 Fed. Rep. 611; 45 Fed. Rep. 596; 46 Fed. Rep. 683.
Mr. Justice Field and Mr. Justice Gray, dissenting.
Asst. Atty. Gen. Maury and Jos. H. Call, for appellant.
James C. Carter, G. Wiley Wells, J. A. Anderson, and Geo. W. Merrill, for appellees.
Mr. Justice BREWER, after stating the facts in the foregoing language, delivered the opinion of the court.

# Voice of Flowers/The Evening Primrose

THE EVENING PRIMROSE.
Pale Primrose! lingering for the evening star
 To bless thee with its beam, like some fair child,
Who, ere he rests on Morpheus' downy car,
 Doth wait his mother's blessing, pure and mild,
To hallow his gay dream. His red lips breathe
 The prompted prayer, fast by that parent's knee,
Even as thou rear'st thy sweetly fragrant wreath
 To matron Evening, while she smiles on thee.
Go to thy rest, pale flower! The star hath shed
 His benison upon thy bosom fair,
The dews of summer bathe thy pensive head,  And weary man forgets his daily care:
Sleep on, my rose! till morning gilds the sky, And bright Aurora's kiss unseals thy trembling eye.
# Voice of Flowers/The Hare-Bell

THE HARE-BELL;
A DEDICATION FOR AN ANNUAL, WITH THAT TITLE.
Ye have seen me oft, 'mid the summer day,
In my woodland home, with the breeze at play;
Catching the dews as they sparkling fell.
And folding them close in each floral bell;
And teaching my buds, with a joyous ray,
To lift their blue eyes to the King of Day.
But now, when the last leaf of Autumn is shed.
Ye thought, no doubt, I was sere and dead:
No, no! I have baffled the Spoiler's sting,
Affection's token to you to bring.
I have dared the wrath of the frosty sky,
To gather you blossoms that cannot die.
Will ye welcome me in from my toil and care,
For the blessings I breathe, and the sweets I bear?
If ye give me shelter this wintry hour, If ye make me a guest at the hearth and bower,
You will never regret, I am fain to say,
The Hare-Bell's visit, this Christmas-day.
# Voice of Flowers/The Rose-Geranium. Companion of a Voyage

THE ROSE-GERANIUM.
COMPANION OF A VOYAGE.
Hold up thy head, thou timid voyager!
 Vex'd by the storm-clouds, as they darkly roll,
And by the fiercely tossing waves, that stir
 Thy slender root, and try thy trembling soul.
Sad change from thy sweet garden, where the dew
 Each morning glisten'd in thy grateful eye,
And where no rougher guest thy bosom knew,
 Than quiet bee, or gadding butterfly.
It grieves me sore to see thy leaflets fade,
 Wearing the plague-spot of the ocean spray,
And know what trouble I for thee have made,
 Who bore thee from thy native haunt away;
Though, in thy life, I seem to hold the chain
 Of home and its delights, here on the pathless main.
# Voice of Flowers/The Snow Drop

THE SNOW DROP.
A Dedication for an Annual with that title.
When infant Spring, with a glance of fear,
Doth tread in the steps of the Winter drear,
And beckon the streams on the frosted plains
To loosen the links of their icy chains,
Ere yet the Violet hath dar'd to show
Its timid head through the wasting snow,
While Tulip and Dahlia on couches deep,
In their bulbous night-caps, are fast asleep,
Like beauties fatigued at the midnight rout,
Who shut the sun, with their curtains, out,—
At the earliest call of the blue-bird sweet,
I venture forth through the mist and sleet,
And haste to bring, with my simple cheer,
The first glad wish of the new born year.
But now from Autumn, a boon I bear,
Of varied tint, and a perfume rare,—
Taste hath wander'd through grove and bower,
The bird to win, and to cull the flower,
And to gather them close in a charmed ring,
And to bind them fast with a silken string;
Friendship doth offer the gift to thee,—
Pure and warm may its guerdon be.
# Voice of Flowers/The Stranger's Flower

THE STRANGER'S FLOWER.
In some of the South American republics, it was customary for ladies to present a flower to every stranger whom they received as a guest.
Stranger! new flowers in these vales are seen,
With a dazzling eye, and a fadeless green,
They scent the breath of the dewy morn,
They feed no worm, and they hide no thorn,
But revel and glow in our balmy air;
They are flowers that freedom hath planted there.
This bud of welcome to thee we give;
Bid its glowing blush in thy bosom live;
It shall charm thee from all a stranger's pain,
Reserve, suspicion, and dark disdain;
A race in its freshness and bloom are we,
Bring no cares from a worn out world with thee.
'Tis a little time since the lance and spear,
And the clamor of war and death were here;
Our siesta the shout of the murderer broke,
And we struggled to rend a tyrant's yoke,
Till our midnight slumbers were pale with fears,
And the fairest cheeks bore a mourner's tears.
But now on the couch of its mother's breast,
The infant sleeps long in its dream of rest,
And the lover beneath the evening star,
Woos the young maid with his light guitar;
These are the blessings that wait the free,
And stranger! this flower is our gift to thee.
# Voice of Flowers/The Hollyhock and her Visitor

THE HOLLYHOCK AND HER VISITOR.
A large bumble-bee often visited a stately hollyhock. He lingered in the deep red cup that she made for him, and talked busily with her. The neighboring flowers heard the full tones of his voice, but could not distinguish his words.
At length, a tall larkspur bent her ear, and listening closely, understood him to say, "I am very rich. I have gathered much pollen. I store it in a large wax palace, which I shall fill with honey. None of the bumble-bees in the village can compare with me."
"Oh, it must make you very happy," answered the hollyhock, "that when any poor, sick bees come and ask relief, you will have plenty for them, as well as yourself."
"I cannot undertake to feed them," he replied. "Every one must provide for himself. I worked hard to get what is mine. Let others go and do the same."
​ "But will yon be able to use all that you have laid up? And, if not, what good will it do you?" asked the hollyhock, blushing more brightly from the earnestness with which she spoke.
"I never expect to use half of it, but I do not choose to give it away. What good will it do me to hoard it up, do you ask? Why, don't I hear people say, there goes the rich bumble-bee? That pleases me."
"I will tell you how to get rich, too. Open your leaves wide when the sun shines, and gather all the beams you can, and keep them close in your secret chainber. Then, when the dews fall, and you have drank as much as possible, shut yourself up, and do not let a single drop escape on the buds below; so you will be sure to grow larger than they."
But the hollyhock said, "There is no avarice among flowers. We take what our Father sends, and are glad. We do not wrinkle our brows with care, or grow old before our time."
The bumble-bee drew nearer still, and said, "You know nothing at all about the pleasures that wealth can bring. Listen! I think of setting up an equipage. I shall have two glow-worms for postillions; you know their lamps ​will cost me nothing. But you must not breathe this, for I have not yet mentioned it to my wife."
The hollyhock replied with a clear voice, "There is neither meum nor tuum among the flower-people. We like to share with others the good things that come to us from above. It makes us happier than to sound a trumpet before us, and boast of riches with which we do no good."
Then the large bumble-bee seemed offended at his friend the hollyhock, and, buzzing in an angry tone, flew away.
# Voice of Flowers/The Lobelia Cardinalis

THE LOBELIA CARDINALIS.
"Cull me a flower," the Indian maid
 Unto her lover sigh'd—
"Such as thy noble spirit deems
 Fit for thy chosen bride.
"And I will wear it on my brow
 When from this home I part,
And enter to thy forest bower,
 Thy true love in my heart."
With meek intent, and searching glance,
 The chieftain pac'd the sod—
Who, with Acteon's haughty stride,
 Had erst that region trod.
Not now, to rouse the slumbering deer,
 Or scathe the eagle's throne.
Thro' those secluded shades he roam'd—
 His heart was love's alone.
He cut the rich, wild rose, that still
 A lingering radiance cast—
Yet soon its falling petals told
 Its day of pride was past.
He pluck'd the iris, deeply blue,
 The amaryllis, bright,
And stor'd their treasures through the day,
 But cast them forth at night.
He bound the water-lily white.
 Amid her lustrous hair,
But found her black and flashing eye
 Requir'd a gem more rare.
At length, beside its mantling pool,
 Majestic and serene,
He saw the proud Lobelia tower
 In beauty, like a queen.
That eve, the maiden's ebon locks
 Reveal'd its glowing power,
Amid the simple, nuptial rites
 That grac'd the chieftain's bower.
But she, who, by that stately flower,
 Her lover's preference knew.
Was doom'd, alas! in youthful bloom,
 To share its frailty, too;
For ere again its scarlet spire
 Rejoic'd in summer's eye,
She droop'd amid her forest home—
 Her fount of life was dry.
Then, as the ebbing pulse declin'd,
 Forth from her sacred nook,
With swimming eye, and trembling hand,
 Her bridal wreath she took,
And bound its wither'd floral bells
 Around her temples pale,
And faintly to her maidens spake—
 For breath began to fail:—
"Should the last death-pang shake me sore,
 (For on they come with power,)
Press closer in my ice-cold hand
 My husband's token-flower;
And rear the turf-mound broad and high
 To span my lonely grave,
That nought may sever from my locks
 The gift of love he gave—
So, when the dance of souls goes forth
 Athwart the starry plain,
He 'll know me by his chosen flower,
 And I 'll be his again."
# Voice of Flowers/The Tears of April

THE TEARS OF APRIL.
"He who goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him."
Queen of the opening year, who weep'st to take
 Thy slender sceptre o'er a loyal clime,
Fearing a lot of royalty must wake
 The wrinkle and the thorn before their time;
Be firm and hopeful! for the sparkling smile
 Shall kiss the transient tear-drop from thy cheek,
And in thy foot-prints spring with gentlest wile,
 The blushing primrose, and the violet meek.
The snow-drop pure shall don its mantle green,  And balmy skies awake their favoring ray,
And heralds, bright with plumage, bless the queen,
 Who joins a tender heart to regal sway.
So go thou forth, with tears, thy precious seed
Sowing in lowly trust, for Joy shall crown the deed.
# Voice of Flowers/The Lily's Whisper

THE LILY'S WHISPER.
"Bow down thy head, thou born of clay,—
 Bow down thy head to me,"
A drooping Lily seemed to say.
As sank the footsteps of the day,
 Upon the grassy lea.
Its dewy lips to mine I prest,
 And drank its stifled sigh,
A tear-drop lay within its breast,—
"Hast thou a woe to be confess'd,
 Thou favorite of the sky?"
"Two buds beside my heart awoke.
 More pure than opening day,—
But lo! a hand with sudden stroke
From my embrace those idols broke,
 And bore them hence away."
Still deeper seem'd the Lily's tone
 My listening ear to greet:
"Think not for sympathy alone
That thus to thee I make my moan,
 Though sympathy is sweet;
"No. Be my wound thy lesson made,  We love your nobler race,
Whose lot it is like ours to fade,
Like ours, to see in darkness laid
 Your blossom's wither'd grace.
"So, let the Will Supreme be blest,
 And Still with spirit meek,
Shut rebel tear-drops in your breast,
And wear, as badge of Heaven's sweet rest
 Its smile upon your cheek."
