CHRISTOPHE.

"King Henri is King Stephens peer,
His breeches cost him but a crownr'
So from the old world came the jeer
Of them who hunted ToussaInt down:
But what was he.-thls slave that swept
The shambles, then to greatness leapt?
Their counterfeit in bronze, a thing
To mOck,-or every inch king?
On San-Soncs defiant wall
His people saw, against the sky.
Christophe,-a shape the height of SAUL
chief who brooked no rivals nigh.
Right well he aped the antique state,
His birth was mean, his heart was great
No azure filled his veins-instead,
The Afric torrent hot and red
He built far up the mountain-side
A royal keep, and walled it round
With towers the palm-tops could not hide;
The ramparts toward ocean frowned;
Beneath, within the rock-hewn hold,
He heaped mouarch's store Of gold,
He made his mobiles in breath;
He held the power of life and death;
And here through tOrrid years he ruled
The Haytian horde, a despot king
Mocked Europe's pomp,-her minions schooled
In trade and war and parleying,-
Yet reared his dusky heirs in vain;
To end the drama, Fate grew fain.-
Uprose rebel tide, and flowed
Close to the threshold where he strobe.
"And now the Black must exit make,
craven at the last" they say:
Not so,-Christophe his leave will take
The long unwonted Roman way.
"Ho! Ho!" cried he 1.-The day is done,
And go down With the tropic sunr'
A pistol-shot,-no sign of fear,-
So died Christophe without peer.

IDLE BoYs.-Idleness is the mother
of vice. and boy who is allowed to
grow up in idleness is pretty sure to be
a Vicious man. The parents of such
boys have fearful responsibility rest
ing upon them when they let their sons
run about late hours of the night in
stead of keeping them at home reading
good newspapers and books, and train
ing them into moral habits so as to be-
come respectable men instead of idlers,
rum-drinkers, gamblers and loafcrs,
which is sure to be the case with the
night runners and day idlers. then the
responsibility is increased. Give tie
boys plenty to do. and you will preserve
their morals. Better tired body than
vitiated mind.

1t was Sunday evening. Angelica
had invited her "best young man" to
the evening meal. Everything had
passed off harmOniOusly until Angelica s
seven-year-old brother broke the blissful
silence by exclaiming:
"Oh, ma! yer oughter seen Mr..
Lighted the other night. when be called
to take Angie to the drill, he looked so
nice sittin' long side of her with his
arm"
Erred !" screamed the maiden, quick
ly placing her hand over the boys
mouth.
"Yer oughter seen him." continued
the persistent informant. after gaining
his breath, and the embarrassed girls
hand was removed ''he had his arm
Freddie !" shouted the mother, as in
her frantic attempts to reach the boy s
ear she upset the contents of the tea pot
in Mr.. Lighted's lap. making numerous
Russian war maps over his new lavender
pantaloons.
81 was just goin' to say" the half
frightened boy pleaded, between a cry
and an injured whine. "he had his
arm"
'You boy!" thundered the father,
"away to the woodshed."
And the boy made for the nearest ex-
it, exclaiming as he waltzed, Il was
only goin' to say Mr.. Lighted had his
army clothes on, and I'll leave it to him
If he didn't"
And the boy was permitted to return.
and the remainder of the meal was spent
in explanations from the family in re-
gard to the number of times Freddie
had to be "talked to" for using his fin
gers for ladle.- Y0nkerS Statesman.

by DR.. J. W. Dupree, in this parish, all
of whom pronounce it a decided success
1t greatly cheapens the cost of fuel and
gives out regularly at will the degree OF

pee planters have contracted for it for
next year. Mr.. Blackie, of this city,
is the reliable agent.

Before Harris, c. j., Judd and Nc Gully, j.
OPINION OF THE Court By HARRIS, c. j.

OPINION OF THE Court BY HARRIS, G.. j.
The policy upon which this action is brought
is one of Insurance upon the schooner - Eugenia
NJ. Briggs in these words, IS By these presents
doth hold insured A. b. as well In his own name
as in that of those to whomsoever the same may
appertain, and whether lost or not lost, at and
from (the words thus far being in prin) Decem-
Der 9th, 1879 to June 9th, 1884,
And the question at the trial was, whether this
policy expired at midnight of June 5th, or at
midnight of June 9th.
The Court instructed the Jury that the policy
was in force until midnight OF June 9th and
the defendants counsel, who commended that 1t
expired at midnight of June 5th, requested the
Court to reserve the point for the consideration
of the full Court, to which the Chief Justice,
who held term, consented.
The policy in question insures the vessel to be
employed in the c%Oasting trade in this country.
that is to say, to visit any and all landings in
this country for the purpose of carrying on the
coasting trade and yet in the succeeding part
of the policy, this sentence occurs in print, 80 1t
shall be lawful for said ship, during currency of
this policy to proceed and sail to, and to touch
thereuntO Obliged by stress OF weather.
The Court is of the opinion that the ruling
given at the trial was correct.
The only word in the policy that could posi-
bly, give coloring to any other construction is the
81 at - in the phrase " at and from December
OH, 1919. Dut an Inspection Oh Tie instru-
ment shows, as is above said, that this word is in
the printed part of the policy and evidently refers
to place and not time, of which there are other
instances, as 'the adventures and perils which the
said company are contented to bear, and take
upon them in this voyage are of the seas, etc.,
where the word ''vOyage" is not erased. This word
80 voyage" as we'll as the words hereinaboye
quoted, and other paragraphs in the policy
which are left still standing, and have no rela-
ton to the risk taken, show conclusively, that
the form used was not fully to
the present risk by the person who filled it out.
To say sat December 9th " would be incon-
gruous, and this proposition would not be used.
The obvious intention Of the form was that
Honolulu for instance. or any other port
should be written in, SO that the policy would
read '' at and from Honolulu" Obviously then
the words al and were simply not
stricken out of the policy, therefore with the
word /" at - properly stricken out, as ~inapplic-
able, it would leave the sentence thus " from
December 9th. 1879, to June 9th, $780," and
by all the authorities such a policy would ex-
pire at midnight, June 9th.
