United States Supreme Court

Foster v. Davenport
This is a writ of error to the Supreme Court of the State of Alabama.
The case is, in all respects, like the one just decided, except it is insisted that the steamboat was employed as a lighter and towboat upon waters within the State of Alabama, and therefore engaged exclusively in the domestic trade and commerce of the State.
According to the admitted state of facts, this boat was engaged in lightering goods from and to vessels anchored in the lower bay of Mobile, and the wharves of the city, and in towing vessels anchored there to and from the city, and, in some instances, towing the same beyond the outer bar of the bay, and into the Gulf to the distance of several miles. This boat was duly enrolled and licensed to carry on the coasting trade at the time she was engaged in this business, and of the seizure under the State law.
It also appears from the answer, and which facts are admitted to be true, that the port of Mobile is resorted to and frequented by ships and vessels, of different size in tonnage, engaged in the trade and commerce of the United States with foreign nations and among the several States; that the vessels of small size and tonnage are accustomed to come up to the wharves of the city, and discharge their cargo, but that large vessels frequenting said port cannot come up, on account of the shallowness of the waters in some parts of the bay, and are compelled to anchor at the lower bay, and to discharge and receive their cargo by lighters; and that the steamboat of claimants was engaged in lightering goods to and from said vessels, and in towing vessels to and from the lower bay and the wharves of the city.
It is quite apparent, from the facts admitted in the case, that this steamboat was employed in aid of vessels engaged in the foreign or coastwise trade and commerce of the United States, either in the delivery of their cargoes, or in towing the vessels themselves to the port of Mobile. The character of the navigation and business in which it was employed cannot be distinguished from that in which the vessels it towed or unloaded were engaged. The lightering or towing was but the prolongation of the voyage of the vessels assisted to their port of destination. The case, therefore, is not distinguishable in principle from the one above referred to.
Judgment of the court below reversed.

THIS was a writ of error to the Supreme Court of Alabama.
The case was similar to the preceding one of Sinnot and others v. Davenport, except that the steamboat Swan was employed as a lighter and towboat upon waters within the State of Alabama. It was therefore insisted that she was engaged exclusively in the domestic trade and commerce, and consequently could be distinguished from the preceding case. Both were argued together by the same counsel.

We come from ol' Virginia Where all is bright and gay Let's all join hands and give a yell For the dear old UVA.

In college days we sing her praise And so when far away In memory we still shall be At the dear old UVA.

# Good Thou Art, and Good Thou Dost

Good Thou art, and good Thou dost, Thy mercies reach to all, Chiefly those who on Thee trust, And for Thy mercy call; New they every morning are; As fathers when their children cry, Us Thou dost in pity spare, And all our wants supply.
Mercy o’er Thy works presides; Thy providence displayed Still preserves, and still provides For all Thy hands have made; Keeps, with most distinguished care, The man who on Thy love depends; Watches every numbered hair, And all his steps attends.
Who can sound the depths unknown Of Thy redeeming grace? Grace that gave Thine only Son To save a ruined race! Millions of transgressors poor Thou hast for Jesus’ sake forgiven, Made them of Thy favor sure, And snatched from hell to Heaven.
Millions more Thou ready art To save, and to forgive; Every soul and every heart Of man Thou wouldst receive: Father, now accept of mine, Which now, through Christ, I offer Thee; Tell me now, in love divine, That Thou hast pardoned me!

# Gesta Romanorum Vol. II (1871)/Of vain Glory

TALE LXIX.
OF VAIN GLORY.
Valerius records that a certain nobleman enquired of a philosopher how he might perpetuate his name. He answered, that if he should kill an illustrious personage, his name would be eternally remembered. Hearing this, he slew Philip the father of Alexander the Great. But he afterwards came to a miserable end. (45)
APPLICATION.
My beloved, the nobleman, is any one who seeks a worldly name by bad means.
Note 45.Page 224.
This curious anecdote is recorded of Pausanias, in the eighth book of Valerius Maximus, "De Cupiditate gloriæ." Cap. xiv. Exeter. 4.
"Nam dum Hermocles percontatus esset, quonam modo subito clarus posset evadere, atque is respondisset, si illustrem virum aliquem occidisset, futurum ut gloria ejus ad ipsum redundaret: continuò Philippum interemit. Et quidem quod petierat, assecutus est. Tarn enim se parricidio, quam Philippus virtute, notum posteris reddidit."
# Gesta Romanorum Vol. II (1871)/Of the triple State of the World

TALE IX.
OF THE TRIPLE STATE OF THE WORLD.
A certain knight had three sons, and on his death-bed he bequeathed the inheritance to his first-born; to the second, a treasure; and to the third, a very valuable ring, of more worth indeed than all he had left to the others. But the two former had also rings; and they ​were all apparently the same. After their father's death the first son said, "I possess that precious ring of my father." The second said, "You have it not, I have." To this the third son answered, "That is not true. The elder of us hath the estate, the second the treasure, and therefore it is but meet that I should have the most valuable ring." The first son answered, "Let us prove, then, whose claims to it have the pre-eminence." They agreed, and several sick men were made to resort to them for the purpose. The two first rings had no effect, but the last cured all their infirmities. (5)
APPLICATION.
My beloved, the knight is Christ: the three sons are the Jews, Sacarens, and Christians. The most valuable ring is faith, which is the property only of the younger, that is, of the Christians.
Note 5.Page 42.
This story is in the Decameron, first day, Nov. 3, with some considerable variations.
"There was a very wealthy man who, among other precious jewels of his own, had a goodly ring ​of great value; the beauty and estimation whereof made him earnestly desirous to leave it as a perpetual memory and honour to his successors. Whereupon, he willed and ordained, that he among his male children, with whom this ring (being left by the father) should be found in custody, after his death, he, and none other, was to be reputed his heir, and to be honoured and reverenced by all the rest, as being the prime and worthiest person."
In process of time the ring fell to one who had three sons, and doubtful who should have it, he caused two other rings to be constructed exactly similar. "Lying upon his death-bed, and his sons then plying him by their best opportunities, he gave to each of them a ring. And they (after his death) presuming severally upon their right to the inheritance and honour, grew to great contradiction and square; each man producing then his ring, which were so truly all alike in resemblance, as no one could know the right ring from the other. "In like manner, my very good lord, concerning those three laws given by God the Father, to three such people as you have propounded," (the Jews, Saracens, and Christians) "each of them do imagine that they have the heritage of God, and his true law, and also duly perform his commandments, but which of them ​do so, indeed, the question (as of the three rings) is yet remaining."
It also occurs in the Cento Novelle Antiche, Nov. 71, and perhaps in Swift's Tale of a Tub. Tyrwhitt, however, thinks otherwise.

# Gesta Romanorum Vol. I (1871)/Of Avarice, which makes many blind

TALE LXXIII.
OF AVARICE, WHICH MAKES MANY BLIND.
A certain king of Rome decreed, that every blind man should annually receive a hundred ​shillings from the emperor. It happened that twenty-three associates came into the city and entered a tavern to drink. They remained there seven days, both eating and drinking; but when they would reckon with the tavern-keeper, they had not sufficient money to defray the expence of what they had consumed. "Friends," quoth mine host, "here be wanting a hundred shillings. I tell you, of a certainty, ye go not hence till ye have paid the uttermost farthing." This rather startled the revellers, who, turning to one another, exclaimed, "What shall we do? We cannot pay so large a sum." At length one of them observed, "Listen to me; I will give you the best advice. The king of this country has decreed, that whosoever is blind shall receive from his treasury one hundred shillings. Let us then cast lots, and upon whomsoever the lot falls, we will deprive him of sight, and send him to the king for the promised benevolence. Thus we shall depart in peace." They all agreed that the counsel was excellent; and casting lots, the chance fell upon the contriver of the expedient; whose eyes they ​immediately put out. He was then led to the palace. Arriving at the gate, they knocked and were admitted by the porter, who enquired their business. The blind man answered, "I am one entitled, from my deficiency of sight, to the benefit of the royal donation." "Well," said the porter, "I will inform the seneschal." He went accordingly; but the wary seneschal first determined to examine his exterior before he delivered the money. He did so, and then asked what he wanted. "A hundred shillings," replied he, "which the law gives to every blind man." "My friend," said the seneschal, "if I am not greatly mistaken, I saw you yesterday in a tavern with both eyes perfect. You misinterpret the law. It relates to those who, by some natural infirmity, or by accident, become blind—and against which there was no defence. Such the law protects and relieves. But you, who voluntarily surrendered your eyes to liquidate a debt incurred by the most unwarrantable gluttony, can have no claim or pretence to the royal munificence. Seek, therefore, consolation and relief elsewhere." The blind man, ​cursing his folly, retired in great confusion, from the palace.
APPLICATION.
My beloved, the law in the story is the law of God. He who errs by natural infirmity, or through the temptations of the devil, and repents, is forgiven. But if any one, from pure malice, shall commit sin, and fall into despair he can scarcely, if at all, be pardoned. The tavern-keeper is the devil.
