"what beautiful bridge between old age and
childhood is religion. How intuitively the child
begins with prayer and worship entering life,
aud how intuitiyely, on quitting life, cold man
turns back 10 prayer and worship, putting himself

Z. Bulwer Lytton, in his "Strange Story"
Yes, but between its distant abutments the
bridge OF life has many high and awful arches,
through which the wild vsters dash and roar in
wrath and desolstion. Prayer and worship alone
do not sustain these. Natures solid rocks must
lie mistaken beneath. am human art and skill
must rear and solidify the structure overhead.

made for the creatures whom He mas placed under

More of Troy Townships Justice.

A problem for the wise, aud which, when
solved, will benefit the world.
A case has lately been tried before an
experienced and honorable Justice of Troy
Township, which case | will attempt TO
explain.
Charles Dennis agreed to dig ditch
according to specifications for SOC per rod,
and he took the specifications that he
would know how to dig 1t. Defendants
book account against Dennis paid him
within twenty-five dollars of what he
would be entitled to when the ditch was
finished, according to agreement, before
which time defendent refused to pay the
twenty-five dollars, as any one would do.
So Dennis sued for that amount. Two of
the trustees accepted the ditch and they
were subpoenied to testify in the case. One
OF them was brave enough TO appear, and
swore that lie accepted the ditch but that
il was not deep enough. The honorable
Justice threw out of court all evidence AZ
to the specifications. The intelligent jury
brought in verdict OF nearly fifty dollars
for Dennis when he sued for only twenty
two. This was too outrageous for even
the Justice and lie sent back that body OF
men. who were sworn TO give an impartial
verdict. to reduce it 10 the demands of the
plaintiff.
Now, in view OF these facts, should de.
fendant be compelled to pay tull price fol
the ditch when il is only two thirds done
And if lie must pay for work not perform
ed, in consequence OF the trustees illegally
accepting the job, do they not make them
selves liable for the twenty two dollars and
cost of sai;? II they do not, what is thu
use of specifications if they are to he ul,-
needed? Or of laws OF any kind if they
are to be disregarded? Far better to have
no law than such a state of things.
ask your opinion, Mr.. Editor, and als'
that of the people on this subject. Please
speak through the JOURNAL and let thu
world know how defendant is TO get redress
for this wrong. Must he enter suit agains
the trustees for violation of law and 1hei
oath of Office? Or should lie leave it II
God 10 punish them for the crime, whicl
He surely will do, both IN this world AN,
the next. A SEEKER AFTER JUSTICE.
