The message sent by plaintiff was unre-
peated, and the only negligence shown
vas an unexplained delay in delivering
the message on the part of a messenger
boy, TO whom it was Immediately upon
its receipt, intrusted for delivery. The
court held that, under the circum-
stances, the plaintiff was entitled to re-
cover only the amount paid for sending
the message, with interest.

AS winter wind to autumn leaves,
AS sickle to the wheat;

When Hope is dead and not q rose

AS lilies in desert place,
AS stars in leaden skies,

And make life's roses bloom -
