THE DRUNKARD,s WIFE.

t4ltl W Alllts uNlDE,
Death's dew is on my brow;
Come closer-let me gaze on you,
For You are sober now.
y orr eyes beam kindly on me
Your voice is soft and low,
And your presence bring TO light agai
The blessed long ago.
I'm thinking of the happy time
Ere YOU and I We're wed,
When daily blessings seemed TO fall
Like incense ON my head
When great joy filled my bosom,
And my step was light and free,
And you a bright-eyed fearless 10y,
Were all the world TO me.
Oh, how loved you, Willie!
And love You. darling, vet;
Your kindness in that golden time
l never can forget.
And do not mean to chide YOU,
When backward view / cast;
And Shudder at the gulf between
The present and the past.
Forgive me, Willie darling,
II my words have caused you pain,
VIII not call up memories
81 the long ago again.
But ! must speak Of the present,
For 1 have that TO say
Which I would have you think Of
When / am snatched away.
Our little boy, O. Willie
lie is pure and sinless now
There Is no shade OF crime and vice
Upon his baby brow;
His heart is free from bitterness
His soul is pure as snow
on, Willie, ia the years TO come,
See that you keep him 50.
You have sworn upon the Bible
That you ne'er again viii taste
The poison that has ruined us,
And maue our lives a waste.
If YOU keep that solemn covenant
As long ~ life shall last,
our boy is safe. and God viii grant
forgiveness for the past.
Come closer to me. darling,
Let me fold you in my breast,
Ere the shadows close around me,
And ! sink to dreamless rest.
oh, the weary, weary hours,
And the bitter, bitter pain,
Are lifted from my bosom,
And all is peace again.
ann dying, Willie, dying,
But for me all pain j. DER,
And I'll look for You my darling,
When / reach the Golden ShoTe.
God willed that / should perish
To save YOU and our boy,
And 20 to seek His presence
With an eager, eager joy.

Supreme j judicial Court,

OCTOBER TERM, WALTON, j., PRESIDING.
FRIDAY.-Franklin Wharf Company vs.. the City
of Portland.
This is an action brought in August, 1874, to re-
cover damages for the obstruction of the navigation
in the dock between franklin and Gait wharves by
deposits of solid matter coming through the Frank
lin street sewer.
The defendants resisted, on the ground that the
city had the right to drain into the harbor below low
out being liable therefor. But the full court have
settled in this case, that matter of law, while the
city have the right to drain into the dock they have
not the right to deposit solid matter there to the OBJ
struction of navigation; that they have right to
create nuisance, and will be pecuniariy liable for
any appreciate injury in this direction.
So the case is brought before the jury to deter
mine, as matter of fact whether the Franklin
street or Thames street filled up the dock as
to impede navigation, and if they find that it did,
then to determine the amount of damages suffered
by the plaintiff company thereby.
The defendants did not deny that there had been a
filling up of the dock, but commended that it was
owing, first to the acts of the plaintiffs themselves in
constructing their wharf in snch Ia manner, that at
one time the pliDg bulged out and caused the filling
to spread out to make bar across the dock to
Galts wharf; that this bar made a catch-basn to
hold deposits between it and the outlet of the sewer
and that the walls of the wharf constructed
as to allow earthly matter to sft through that aside
from the acts of the plaintiffs there obstruc-
tons from other sources, the overflow from the
streets and whaIves adjacent; deposits of coal ashes
and refuse matter from vessels that though there
was some solid matter deposited by the sewer, yet
the quantity so small as not to be, in the Ian
guage of the law, appreciate.
The plaintiffs contended that the defendants ar
gument was virtual admission that solid matter
once deposited in the dock, would there remain I'M
til dredged OUT that neither the action of the tides
nor the current of the sewer would remove it; and
that the large amounts caught in cesspools and
carried off in carts was, until lately allowed to flow
into the DOCKS The plaintiffs counsel intmated that
he was anxious to settle the principle than re-
cover large damages, and that he would be satisfied
with moderate verdict.
The jury after being out four hours returned YER
dict for defendant.
Mattocks for the plaintiff.
