A golden chain OF salvation has been let

Philosophers convention; subject, growth.
One demonstrates no growth without air;
therefore growth depends on air only (!)
Another demonstrates thst growth depends
on moisture, therefore growth depends on
moisture only(?) Another finds that growth
depends on light; he concludes, therefore,
that light only is necessary. Here we have
the sledge hammer breaking the chain of
nature. Growth depends upon no one of
these conditions, but each is link in tho

psny for violation of contrac.to establish
a depot at given point, in consideration OF
title deeds to = right-of way over plaintiff S
premises, the plaintiff sought damages, and
not rescission Of the contract. The peti.
tion set up the contract with an agent of the
company and alleged that the agent on te-
half of the company, contracted to erect a
depot at certain point; and it further do.
fined the power Of the agent rs limited 10
the single purpose OF obtaining righ!.of- way
for the compsny's railway. The defendant
demurred to the plaintiffs petition, which
demurrer was overruled. Held, error, and
that the authority of the agent being limited
to the securing of rights .of.way from pros
prietors ofthe soil, he was not authorized
by his general agency to transcend the pow
ers conferred by his principal. The demur-
rer should have been sustained. Reversed

general thing they possess means sufficient to
erect comfortable dwellings, Improve farms
and In thisway add 10 our general prosperity

TO her whom my soul loves best;
But had my task to finish.
And she hal gone to rest
10 rest in the far bright IIeavrn~-
Oh! so far away from here!
1t was vain to speak tn my darling,
For | knew she could not hear.
| had u message to send her,
So tend.r and true, aud sweet.
| longrl tor an angel to bear it,
Aud lay it down ut her feet.
! placed it, one Summers evening,
On Il little white clouds breast;
But it faded in golden splen,or,
And died in the crimson West.
l gav'. it the lark next morning,
And watched it soar and soar;
But its pimioms grew faint and weary,
And IL tlnttrred to eartl, once more.
! cried in my passionate longing,
Has the earth no angel friend
Who will carry my love the messag,
My heart desires to send?
When heard strain of music,
SO mighty, SO pure, so dear,
That my very sorrow was silent,
And my heart stood still to hear.
1t rose in harmonious rushing
OF mingled voices aud strings,
And tem,lerly laid my message
On Music's outspread wings.
And l heard it float farther an farther
In sonnl more perfect than speech,
Farther than sight can follow,
Farther than soul can reach.
And know that at last my message
Has passed through the Golden Gate
So my heart is no longer restless,
And am content to wait.
