# Williamsport National Bank v. Knapp/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
119 U.S. 357
Williamsport National Bank v. Knapp
Assuming, what does not appear in the record, that the evidence stated in the bills of exceptions was all the evidence introduced at the trial and referred to in the certificate of division, that certificate is clearly insufficie t to support the jurisdiction of this court. Under the acts of congress, authorizing questions arising on a trial or hearing before two judges in the circuit court, and upon which they are divided in opinion, to be certified to this court for decision, it has always been held that each question certified must be one of law, and not of fact, nor of mixed law and fact, and that it must be a distinct point or proposition, clearly stated, and not the whole case, nor the question whether, upon the evidence, the judgment should be for one party or for the other. Saunders v. Gould, 4 Pet. 392; U.S. v. Bailey, 9 Pet. 267; Weeth v. New England Mortg. Security Co., 106 U.S. 605; S.C.. 1 Sup. Ct. Rep. 91; California Paving Co. v. Molitor, 113 U.S. 609, 615-617; S.C.. 5 Sup. Ct. Rep. 618; Waterville v. Van Slyke, 116 U.S. 699-704; S.C.. 6 Sup. Ct. Rep. 622.
Tested by these rules, the first and second questions certified, each being whether, 'under the evidence,' the defendant was authorized to receive interest at a certain rate, as well as the fourth question, 'whether, upon the whole evidence, the plaintiff was entitled to recover,' are not questions which this court is required or authorized to answer.
The third question is equally irregular and insufficient. Instead of being clearly and distinctly stated, it is quite obscure and ambiguous; for it does not show whether the supposed decision of the supreme court of Pennsylvania, 'that there are no banks, nor have there been any such banks, in Pennsylvania, authorized to take and receive interest at a greater rate than six per cent.,' was based upon matter of law, or matter of fact, or both. The latest reported decision of that court, to which the learned counsel for the plaintiff in error referred to explain this question, affirmed a ruling of a lower court that, 'in fact and in law, there is no bank of issue in Pennsylvania authorized to charge a rate of interest in excess of the legal rate;' and said nothing upon the question whether there ever had been any such banks. Lebanon Nat. Bank v. Karmany, 98 Pa. St. 65, 73.
Neither the amount of the judgment below, nor the certificate of division, being sufficient to give this court jurisdiction, it necessarily follows, as was held in Weeth v. New England Mortg. Security Co. and Waterville v. Van Slyke, above cited, that the writ of error must be dismissed.

# Wongan Way/The Farmer's Daughter

The Farmer's Daughter
Guess I'll stick to washing dishes, Sweeping, cooking, darning socks; Having literary wishes Gives a girl too many shocks.
I think thoughts just like those bookmen; Dream sweet dreams from morn to night. I see folks just like their spook-men In the evening's ghostly light. I'd have loved a life of learning. But whene'er I go about
​ With fires of genius burning, Then the kitchen fire goes out.
“Look here. Sis, we’re two great ninnies”— Thus my brother yesterday— “Working hard when golden guineas Here are fairly flung away.
“Prize for lyric, prize for sonnet, Prize for humorous verses, too— Seize a paper, scribble on it— Suit for me and dress for you
“Come, let’s try it—I say, Mary, What’s a lyric, anyhow?”— So I got the dictionary, And forgot to milk the cow.
—“Sonnets must be made to order; Fourteen lines, and put just so, Like in your embroidery border, Or a picture-frame, you know.
“Where’s the ‘Royal Road to Rhyming’? Lyrics must lie musical— Ebbing, flowing, singing, chiming, With a gentle rise and fall.”
So we scribbled till the dark it Closed around, and day was gone; Mother home again from market! Dinner wasn’t even on!
Father swore a score of sonnets Several miles of lyric, too— Guess I’ll earn my frocks and bonnets Just as other daughters do.
# Wongan Way/The Breaking of the Drought

The Breaking of the Drought.
Morn, and the dust on red wings flying, Where flowers are dead, and green grass dying; The land-breeze like a spoilt child crying— The Wongan Hills are sighing.
Noon, and the storm-wind fiercely dashing Through bending forest the tall trees lashing; The lightning’s eyes ’twixt thunders crashing, Round the Wongan Hills are flashing.
Afternoon—through the creek-beds creeping Soon rise the wakened waters leaping, Till everywhere are torrents sweeping— The Wongan Hills are weeping.
Evening, and cleansed from all defiling, With playful drops the moments whiling; Wrapped in the sunset’s robe beguiling. The Wongan Hills are smiling.
# Wongan Way/Evening on Wongan Hills

Evening on Wongan Hills
Was there ever such an evening Since God said “Let there be light”? Ever such sublime communion— Heaven with earth, and day with night— Mingling in one perfect rapture Heaven's love and earth’s delight.
​ Shone there ever such a rainbow. Reaching down the hills to greet, Since the first bright arch of promise When earth’s cleansing was complete. Spanned the smiling skies, but rested On the earth his glorious feet?
Glowed there ever such a sunset Since earth’s first glad day was done? When did heaven such dazzling raiment Wrap round earth, its cherished one— Like the wondrous coat of colours Jacob made for Rachel’s son?
Storms before and darkness after O'er our souls have lost their power— Safe and splendid heaven’s high temple, Safe and splendid earth’s strong tower. Part of both, and blest in either Rest our souls this evening hour.
Rain-wet rocks, like jasper shining— Earthly things wear heavenly grace. Day looks back in evening’s mirror— Sees his own all-glorious face. Blazing West to bright East calleth, "Surely God is in this place!”
# Wongan Way/Rain on Wongan Hills

Rain on Wongan Hills
Rain! For the Lord in His mercy hath spoken. Rain! And our drought-ridden bondage is broken. Rain! For a (door has been opened in heaven. Rain! Like the manna abundantly given. Rain on the hills and the sand-plains beneath them. Rain on the trees and the creepers that wreathe them. Rain on the gullies and green slopes that bound them. Rain on the homes and the fair gardens round them. Rain on the fields where the new grass is showing; Rain, till the clay-pans are all overflowing. Rain, till the creeks begin leaping and rushing; Rain, till the rock-beds with fountains are gushing. Rain, till the shrubs are with jewels a-quiver; Rain, till the hoys can go bathe in the river. Rain! and the children come romping and dashing. Rain 1 and the girls with their white feet come splashing. Rain! till they shout it and breathe it and think it. Rain! How they race it and chase it and drink it! Rain! How they laugh at it, love it and sing it! Rain, and the heaven-sent breezes that bring it. Rain! and the wattle's gold censer is swinging. Rain! and the birds their “Te deum” are singing. Rain o’er the country-side, rain in our faces; Rain with its message for dry desert places. Rain, till our hearts, to their deepest recesses Are cleansed and refreshed as the grey wildernesses. Rain, till the dust of our doubting and grieving Is all washed away in the joy of believing. Rain, till the buds of our hope in their beauty Wreathe with their promise the dry tree of duty. Rain, till we feel we are learning and growing. Rain, till our love, like the creek, is o'erflowing. Rain, till we lift up our hearts in thanksgiving— Till clear is our vision, and purer our living. Rain, till we know that the night of our sorrow Shall break in a brighter and clearer to-morrow. Rain! for the Lord in His mercy hath spoken. Rain! and our drought-ridden bondage is broken!
# Wongan Way/Stooker's Rash

Stooker’s Rash
Morning
Was it grass-seeds you mentioned? Beg pardon, I’m sure. Proceed with your story, I pray. Didn’t mean to be rude; but I misunderstood— I thought you were speaking of hay.
A ton to the acre, your five-cornered lot— Is that where you’re stocking to-day: We chaps from the city are objects of pity. We envy you, stooking your hay.
Sore arms, tired back, and a splinter or two? What matter? ’Tis thanksgiving day. After famine’s long battle you’ve feed for your cattle— You ought to be singing of hay.
Try thanksgiving oil for the blisters and rash; Or your Mary will kiss them away. Or let me try the charm of life on a farm, I’ll give you a hand with the hay. ​ ****
Evening
I’m swarming and teeming with grass-seeds! I’m sure the dashed things have struck root! Here! let’s have a go at the bathroom; And lend me an unseeded suit.
I tingle and burn worse than ever! What’s that? Oh! the order for Perth— I can’t hold a pencil for splinters— Just order some best Fuller’s earth.
Some wadding and lint and carbolic, Some needles and tweezers and oil. Order Zam-Buk and eye-salve and Condy’s— I’m all of a sizzle and boil.
I’ve fly-fever, blood-poison and snake-bite, And sunstroke and measles.—Don’t laugh. I’ll “write up” the cost of production— You deserve a good price for your “chaff.”
Say, when can I get these dashed cure-alls? Next week! via Johnson and Brown? Good heavens, man! Order the sulky! I’m back by the next train to town.
What’s that you say? Cream? Ah! that’s better— Why Mary, you’re saving my life. Here, some on my arms—ah! that’s heaven! I think I must order a wife.
