LATE TO CHURCH.

Along the road on either side,
Pe elder bOughs are budding
Thenleadowilands a'ro>y tide
or clover bloom is floOding;
The sunny lanuscapeIs so fair,
80 sweet the blossom scented air,
That when-I went to church to-day
l could but choose the longest way.
Loud sang the bobolinks, and round
The mllkweed flowers the bees were hum.
mng,
sauntel ed on. hnt soon found
Behind me there was some one coming,
l did not turn my heat to see,
And yet | knew who followed me
Before Fonr called'me "kitty, stay,
And let me with you share the waY!''
We did not mind our steps grew slow,
Or notice when the belts stopped ringing,
Or think of being late; but lol ..
When we had reached the church the singing
W as over an the prayer was done,
The sermon fairly had began!
Should we &c in. should we stay out
Press boldly on, or turn about?
Tom led the wav, and up the aisle
followed-all around were staring
And here and therel caught smile;
| tried to think | was not caring:
And yet blushed, L know, and showed
A face that ike poppy glowed.
For every one seemed saying "Kate,
We all know why you are 50 late"
Another Sunday, come what will,
mean to be at church in season;
But to regret this morning Still
trust never shall have reason;
For should | wear wedding dress
A year from now, perhaps you'll guess
What rom sad to me Wnen, to-day.
We walked TO church the longest way.

Lof July 14h, it is stipulated that the
bonds of that Issue should be "redeem-
able in coin orthe standard Odlae ofthe
United States, with interest in s@ch C9ts"
1t is concerning this law that the Jour
naIo Commerce made its incorrect state
ment that it was to be "in gOM coin of the
United States of the present weight and
iineness." And the text of these 1881
bonds is in conformity with that law,
"redeemable 4 in coin OF the
standard value OF the United States,
on said july IA, 1870, with interest in
such cota," &c.
Now, having seen that every act OF
Congress authorizing the issue OF Gov
ernment bonds makes the bonds issued
thereunder payable Gin coin," it becomes
important to determine just what is
meant by "coin." Fortunately, it SO
happened that, less than one month be.
fore the "Declaratory Act" of 1869 was
passed, and full eighteen months before
the "Refunding Act" was passed, in
February, 1859, the Supreme Court OF the
United States judiclally determined the
legal meaning of the word "eoin," as
signifylng "coined dollars" In pro-
nouncing the opinion of the Court in the
| case at Bar, Chiet Justice CHASE said:
"The coined dollar is piece OF g,ld or
siIOer Of a certain degree of purity and
weight. The note dollar is promise to
pay coined dollar"
| United States bonds, then, being paya-
BILE IN coin, are promises to pay "coined
dollars" which are pieces of gold or sd.
yer of a fixed degree of purity ant
weight. This includes the silver dollar
as well as the gold. This Was in 1859
The Declaratory Act was Immediately
succeeding. The "Refunding ACT" was
in 1870. ltcould not be presumed thai
Congress could have been ignorant q
this dictum OF the Supreme Court, anC
intended to exclude silver when they
said "ooin" in both of those important
acts. 1t was not till 1873 that silver be-
came demonetzed. Consequently, the
bonds issued before that act, made paya
Dle Sin coin," as we'll as those issued
under the act OF 1870, made payable "in
coin OF the standard value of the United
States on July A. 1870" are redeemable
by the Uni ed States in "colned dollars
Of gold or SilUcr' OF the standard degree
of purity and weight. The subsequent
as to either party. Such a change the
Constitution itself prohibits.
