THE RIGHT OF WAY.
A Curious Point of Common Law-Its
Significant Parallel.

A Curious Point of Common Law-Its
Significant Parallel.
BY the common law of England, which
has validity in this as well as in the
mother country, persons using piece
of ground or a footpath, unforbidden
by the owners, for certain term Of
years, acquire legal right to it. This
law has produced some singular re-
suits.
A large portion of the most fashion
able quarter of London belongs to the
private estate of the duke of Portland,
who, during one day in each year, puts
gates and hars across the crowded
streets. Th annual mute assertion Of
his rights prevents these thorough
fares from becoming the property of
the public.
A few plowmen go years ago, going
from a village in Yorkshire to their
work, made, unheeded, ''a short CUT
through park belonging to another
English duke. When, two years ago,
he proposed to build a palace on his
estate, it was found that this footpath
would pass directly through the draw
ing-room. He offered TO buy it from
the villagers at high price, but they
| obstinately refused. The palace is not
yet built, and probably never will be
I on that site.
] In the most crowded business part of
| Philadelphia, where every inch of
ground is Of high value, the stranger
| is surprised to see, between massive
and towering stone buildings, little
green wooden door, opening into q
passage way too narrow for two men to
| walk abreast. 1t is right of way ac-
| quired in the days of Penn by the own
ers of certain property to 'reach the
green fields" The fields are now dusty
streets, crowded with vehicles and troll
| ley cars.
Estates often lose large percentage
| of their value because of right of way
heedlessly granted by some good-na-
tured owner long ago to his neighbors.
This curious point of common law has
singular parallel in the law of our
own lives. We thoughtlessly give an
| entrance into them to bad thoughts or
wrong habits, and awake to find that
the intruders are owners of the way
| into our souls, and can never be forced
| out.
| Or there come into our characters
when we are children habits of prayer,
Of cheerfulness, of telling the truth
that are held and remain until maturer
years. No trouble, no age will ever
drive these good angels out of our
lives.
| We have given them the right of way,
and they will keep it.-Youth's Com
panion.
