MY DREAM.

Last night in n dream I wandered far
From the paths where mortals stray:
The night was dark.and no guiding star
LII up to show me the way;
So jcurneyed on. but no friend I met
To lend me a helping hand.
And the scenes l saw I'll ne'er forget
In 81 wierd and gruesome land.
An old man sat at a massive gate,
And | asked him TO let me in.
And he said 70 me. It's never too late
To enter this city of Sim

I had walked to unaware.
That place where the souls of lost ones
In eternal, mute despair.
Down in that place of limitless space.
Where they suffer in silent woe,
| saw face. the beautiful face
OF girl, who long ago
had learned to love.in the world above,
Where all seemed bright and fair
My heart sank low. I turned to go.
KS saw her suffering there.
I awoke and thought of what I had
In that place of vain regret.
And thanked my God twas only n
dream
But the lesson III ne'er forget
I've seen the girl whom l saw in he'll

This was n suit on a negotiable note
made by Roberts, payable to Wright,
the appellant. at the Traders Bank.
endorsed by Wright to that bank, and
by that bank to appellee as collateral
to secure IL debt due by that bank to
appellee. An agreement was after
wards made between the two banks by
which the debt for which said note was
collateral should be extended. The
lower court gave Judgment for the
plaintiff against Wright ana he appeal
ed. The Court says:
The defense relied on in this case is
that the defendant. an accommoda ton
cndorscr. had been released by an
agreement Of the creditor extending the
time for payment of the writing sued
on.
In the view we take of this case 1t
is unnecessary to consider whether the
agreement made between the plaintiff
ana the Tradcrs' Bank was such an
agreement giving time for the payment
OF the note as would have DISCHARGED
tho defendant If the agreement had
been made with the maker of the
note, instead OF the Traders Bank, the
last endurser.
The nist question, therefore. to be
considered is whether an agreement
for indulgence. which will discharge or
