RICH AND PooR.
BY WILLIAM H. CARPENTER.


WILLIAM H.. CARPENTER.
saw pale young girl, in tatters, stand
Beside lady lettering at her door,
Ofrarest tissues was the dress she wore
The suppliant lifted timidly her hand.
weak, appealing gesture sure it was,
10 which her raised eyes, bright with tears
unshed,
Mutely responded: Pity the poorr they said
And thus she stood and pleaded her sad cause.
The naughty lady-with a vacant stare
Down looking from the mountain of her pride.
at the lorn creature standing by her side
Shook from her satins, odors on the air.
Just then came by a lonely widows child,
Who, placing in the beggar's palm the fa9d
Which its own hunger cfaved, in tones subcued
Said Take it, for you need it most and smiled
The scornfal dame, rebuked by that sweet sight,
Blushed throush the crimson mockery OF her
rouge;
Then lifted, with curling lip, her huge
And stately figure to its silken height.
Oh lofty lady, when at Heavens gate.
Your franchised soul stands pleading for admit
tance,
The guardian spirit will recall the pittance
Denied the outcast in your worldly state.
Oh, tender urchin soft angelic eyes
Watched and recorded that good deed OF thine;
After lite's travail you shall see it shine,
All star-ein5Iazened on your native Skies

delivered in like good order to be forwarded to San Fran

their assigns, at the ships tackles alongside and
bill of lading in that form signed The ship arrived
at Panama, and afterwards, with the goods board,
sailed for san Francisco where she arrived in June 1880
Three Of the packages containing important parts of the
invoice, not found board to be delivered All
that could be found ghtered from the ship by the
upon the beach Eight of them were by the consgnees
placed in storehouse belonging TO Everett & Co., the
sold by invoice at auction for $780, but the purchaser
finding that all not delivered from the ship, refused
to complete his purchase. Negotiations were entered

to recover the whole value of the invoice. Held by
the Court that an entire contract for the trans
portaton and delivery of several articles Is not
performed at oil unless all deivered that If the
consignee refuses or negects to receive them when all
offered the carrier may discharge himself by storing
them that part only delivered and the consignee

afterwards that the delivery is not complete he may
pudate the partial delivery but must in that case
turn tender TO the carrier within reasonable time,
the goods that he has received show good
for not doing He cannot retain part, and claim
damages for its non-delvery Held upon the evidence,
hat part these goods delivered before they
landed the shore; that the landing all but the
three missing packages did not affect the rights of the
belans to the full value Of ALL that the acts
done by the consgnees after the goods landed,
amount to acceptance of them in the expectation that
all would be delivered and that condition; that the
goods returned rendered to the carriers
and that the fire is not sufficient to this

and not those that stored Held therefore, that
the ship is liable to the beants only for the damage
which they have sustained by the delivery of the
three missing PACKAGES that damage is the difference be-
tween the value of the whole invoice at San Francisco
when the ship arrived and the value of the invoice
