II would. without coasentng to pay more than the

NIT a crime II he reported IN favor oil the piainuu
and took from him more than that, amount,
Tor he would thus be receiving glit or
gratuity contrary TO this provision oil the Re-
vsed Statutes A fourth point was that inc
Court below erred In saying that act OF tue
rrsree warrants or supports the application for his
removal. The transaction between nun ana the coun-
sci TOR the plaintiff fulfilled all The conditions requisite
TO constitute contract There was a meeting oil
inds-an Offer on their part to pay MIN more

.srhe referee could not possibly prevent such an
Offer being made" This ~ true, but he could have
refrained from accepting an oner made oy only one

analogous that vi intended rewards TO jurors, con-

Counsel also cited the opinion Judge Wallace, in

not disputed, mans reputation IS high that hc
Judge or referee under the promise OF higher

Mr.. Marvin, in opposition, contends that without

Oh! well might the storm-clouds of heaven

And bright rays of sunshine their last kiss
bestow,
As back to carth's bosom you yielded the
clay
Which nothing of earth but its lovoliacss
knew.
TIL, fall OF the sparrow is noted on high,
And Christ Of his chillrcn moro mindful
will be;
The sunlight of hope turns your thoughts to
the sky.
Where George an angel is waiting for thee.
The sun Of your life BIAS most sud lenly set,
And what was all brightness is changed
into gloon;
But a bright sunny face, you can never for.

You will see in the darkness a shadowy form;
You will listen in vain for the pattcring

They journey no longer their pathway of

And vainly you lingsr their coming to
greet.
But as when upon earth Christ extended his
earms,
And asked that tho children he suffered to
come,
We will not forbid Hin, but, free from
alarms,
Rejoice that the Savior prepared him a

And, dear brother, l pray, when life's tolls

And Deaths angel beckons for you and for

That bor3 ers the verge of etornity's sea.
