supply the demand from abroad. In
fact the foreign demand is so urgent
that it is with difficulty our dealers can

the demand for his berries, for they

If We Would.

If we would but check the speaker,
When he spoils his Aeighbor's fame,
If we would but check the erring
Ere we utter words of blame;
If we would, how might we
Turn from paths of sin and shame.
All, the wrong that might be righted
If we would but see the way:
All, the way that might be lightened
Every hour and every day,
If we would but hear the pleadings
Of the hearts that go astray.
Let us step outside the threshold
OF our selfishness and pride;
Let us lift our fainting brothers,
Let us strengthen ere we chfde
Let us, ere we blame the fallen,
Hold the light to cheer and guide. :.
All, how bleSsed-ah how blessed
Earth would be If we would try
Thus to aid and right the weaker,
Thus to check our brothers sigh,
Thus to talk of duty's pathway
To our better life on high.
In each life, however lowly,
There are seeds of mighty good
Still, we shrink from souls appealing
With timid "if we could :"
But God who judges all things
Knows the truth is ''if we would"

the position was poor one for Charlie
and Charles talents, and he soon proved
his superiority; he was promoted, and at
last became the first clerk in this large
establishment. Years passed--two, three,

friends; again was happy; happier now
than ever before-for Charlie loved a
beautiful girl, who gave him her hearts
tull love in return. Soon they were to be
married; Charlie had secured pretty
little house, had furnished it in fine taste,
and in few weeks more would lead to it

Success" commented upon; even his stay
in the quiet little village was ferreted out
and facts concerning it published.
Charlie started for the West; not a pa

his face was very sad, now 1t was about
this time that the shadow deepened in
his sorrowful eyes, and his countenance

from despair he accepted the first work
that offered, and in the Bridgeton book

had been a fine musician in his younger
days, and his knowledge came back to

associated with music. At last he was
engaged as organist of Bridgeton's finest
church, and used to thrill even the
common hearts with the plaintive and ex

CONGRESSMAN kENDALL.-Eendall Of
Nevada, says the Sacramento Union. has in.
troduced bill in Congress to compel
railroad companies that have been aided
by grants of land from the United States
to take out patents for the same, so that
they may be reached by the State in
which they lie, for local taxes. The bill
is just, demanded by good public policy,
and should have passed into law years
ago. The Kendall bill contains pro.
vision to enforce speedy compliance on
the part of the corporations, and, as our
dispatches inform US, is mainly intended
for the Central Pacific Railroad Com
pany. II provides that if the company
shall fail or refuse to have their grant
surveyed and patented, it shall revert to
the United States. Whether the COM
pany or the Government shall survey the
land, OF both together bearing an equal
share OF the expense, is question of
law, which Congress will have to decide,
and which decision should be determ-
ined now SO that the bill may prescribe
how the survey must be conducted
The area of the Central Pacific's grant
in Nevada, not including mineral land,
cannot be less than 5000 or 5000 square
miles-from 5,l20,00 to $500, 600 acres.
The even sections on the same belt, re-
served to the United States are held at
-. 30 per acre. The odd sections are
worth rs much. On this basis, the very
lowest valuation Of the company $
land grant lying in the State of
Nevada is Sl2, 500 COO. At tax of so
cents on the 500, this valuation would
yield to the State $G4,0 year. The
State needs the tax to relieve part of
the burden imposed on the property of
other taxpayers, who receive no more
benefits than the members of this cor
poration from the State Government in
California.

The B fillmore Court Of Common
Pleas has rendered decision in an in.
surance suit which cannot but be of in
terest to all. D. J, Regal made applica.
ton in October, 1872, at the Baltimore
agency Of the Excelsior Lille Insurance
Company, of New York, for policy of
insurance. and several days afterwards,
calling upon The agent, handed him So
on the condition that it was to be con
sidered part of the premium if the risk
was accepted by the company; and if not
accepted the money was to be returned
upon his calling for it. Three or four
days subsequently the agent was notified
that the company hal decided to reject
the application. Mr.. Regal did not call
to learn the result, but died about the
middle of November. Then his ad
mlnistrator brought suit to recover on
the policy, which he claimed had been
virtually contracted for; and the jury, in
accordance with the instructions of the
Court, found for the plaintiff, awarding
