LOVE GOING HOME.

Overhead glittered the stars of cloud lrss sky in June, and the fuil moon beam ed enchantingly on landscape wrapped in repose. Not breath ruffied the leaves of the trees that lined the avenue along which Boliver Pike and Buenavista Mo Corkle were vending their way slowly homeward from a meeting of the Gyro- geosophistical Society. Not ripple stir red the surface of the romantic frog pond on the left, in whose bosom was mirrored the glorious Armament, and not a sound came from the suburban farmhouse on the right, whose inmates were sleeping the ance that follows an evening spent in read ing one of Trollope's novels.
 "Boliverw exclaimed the maiden, as something by the roadside that seemed to reflect the pale radiance of the moonbeams caught her eye, "what is that on the ground?"
 The young man stopped and 10 ,ked at it.
 'It is nothing but snail, Buenavista, y he said. "The beauty of the night has tempted it forth. It is wonder" he con- tinued,, dreamily, "that all animate nature is not out for a moonlight stroll. TLe night is too lovely to be spent indoors, even in the restful slumber that tired na. tnre exacts after day of toil." The enjoyment of the wondrous lowell ness of the evening seemed too deep fol words, however, and in silence the young couple proceeded slowly on their way communing only in that voiceless yet elo quent language that expresses itself in , glance of the eye, pressure of the hand or the softly breathed sign that is fel

 The young man stopped to inspect it , Raising himself, and slightly quickenin, his steps, he said:

Seven years ago my blood was badly pois- oned. Ulcers and boils breaking out all over my body. The strong medicines which I took brought on Rheumatism, and went to Hot Springs, Ark, for two months, which seemed to cure the disease, but it was only smothered, for on my return home the horri- ble disease appeared again worse than before.

We are requested to insert the following pertinent and comprehensive legal decis- ion. It may help to settle some windy and wise roadside arguments:
 RIGHTS IN THE RoAD.-If farm deed is bounded by or upon roadsi usually ex- tends to the middle of the roadway. The farmer owns the soil of half the road, and may use the grass, trees, stones, gravel, sand or anything of value to him, either on the land or beneath the surface, subject only to the superior right of the public to travel over the road, and that of the high way surveyor to use such materials for the repair of the road; and these materials may be carted away and used right to feed his cattle there, or cut the grass or trees, much less deposit his wood, old cafts,s wagons or other things there. The owner of drove of cattle that stops to feed in front of youl land, or drove of pigs which root up the soil, is re- sponsible to you at law, as much as if they did the same thing inside the fence. Mo- | body's children have right to pick up the \ apples under yonr trees, although the same stand wholly outside of your fence. No private person has right to cut or lop of the limbs of your trees in order to move his old barn or other buildings along the highway, and no traveller can hitch his horse to your trees in the sidewalk, with out being liable, if he gnaws the bark or otherwise injures them. If your well stands partly on your land and partly out side the fence, no neighbor can use it ex- cept by your permission. Nay, moro, no man has right to stand in front of your land and insult you with abusive language without being liable to you for trespassing on your land. He has right to pass and repass in an orderly and becoming man. ner right to use the road but not to abuse it. But notwithstanding the farmer owns the soil of the road, even he cannot use it for any purpose which interferes with the use of it by the public for travel. He cannot put his pig-pen, wagons, cart wood or other things there, if the highway surveyor orders them away as obstructine public travel. If he leaves such things outside h1s fence, and within the limits o the highway, as actually laid out, though some distance from the travelled path, an6 a traveller runs into them in the night anc is injured, the owner is not only liable tt him for private damages, but may also b' indicted and fined for obstructing public highway. And if he has a fence or wal along the highway he must place it all ol his land, and not half on the road, as il case of division fences between neighbors But as he owns the soil if the road is dis continued, or located elsewhere, the lant revefts to him, and he may enclose it t the center, and use it as part of his farm. - .Jq1dge Bonnet.

 production of certaasa European factories. the commissionnaire to hold at opening prices, and, as result, the production kept piling on their hands. Buyers moved cautiously and the curtains kept accumu- lating. The season was slipping blythe manufacturers paper kept maturing all the same. Finally they got in tight place too many curtains, too little money. It was (with them) a question of selling or going to the wall. They preferred to sell, and so instructed their commissionnaire. One of our European buyers happened along, and with instant cash at command secured quarter of the lot and shipped it by fast steamers. The other three. quarters go to London house.
