SILVER AND GOLD.

Farewell, my little sweetheart,
Now fare you well and free:

You claim To VOWS from me.
The reason why:-the reason
Right well we can uphold
l have too much Of 81 lver.
And you've too much OF gold.
A puzzle this, to worldings,
Whose love to lucrc flies,
Who think that gold to silver
Should count as mutu al prize!
But I'm not avaIicious,
And you're not sordid souiei;
have too much OF silver,
And you've too much OF gold.
Upon our heads the reason
Too plainly can be seen;
[ am the winters bond slave,
You are the summers queen.
Too few the years you number,
Too many have told;
| have too much OF silver,
And you've too much OF gold.
You have the rose for token,
Ihave dry leaf and rime:
| have the sobbing vesper,
You morning bells at chime.
l would that l Were younger

Would l had less Of silver,
But you no less OF gold.

A CASE OF TRANSMISSION.
Curious Suit Recently Brought In =
English Court.

The legal possibilities of TRANSMISSION
were brought out in a recent suit in an
English court. A man, says the New
York Ledger, who was very i'll was
treated by TRANSMISSION of blood as a
last resort He recovered, and after
time his gardner, from whose veins the
vital fluid was taken, fell i'll. Some
one suggested that his contribution to
his employer might have caused his
illness, whereupon he brought suit,
claiming sixty thousand francs dam
ages. After good deal of legal in
vestigation experts We're appointed to
examine and report on the case. This
took so long that the man died before
the report was finished. The widow,
however, continued the suit, even
though the post-mortem examination
demonstrated that death was caused
by cancer of the stomach. The courts
decided in favor of the defendant. on
the ground that even though the man S
vitality might have been impaired by
the loss of blood, his voluntary offer
for the benefit of another individual re-
leased the recipient from all financial
liability that might be claimed on ac-
count of the transaction.
