To sing out song that will make

The man who is daubing his paint

The man who with hunger is faint.
But is never too hungry to try
May die disappointed. but still. in his
heart. he is hoping away
To lay on the lines that will make
"A hit

The man who IL waving his arms
Like a windmill churning the air
Has few of the orators charms,
And thunders at seats that are bare

'Tis better a thousand should fall
Than that one should be taken from art

A Daily Thought

a Odlly 1nOuBnI.-
To be glad of life, because it gives
you the chance to love and to work
and to play and to look up at the stars
to be satisfied with our possessions,
but not contented with yourself until
you have made the best of them to
despise nothing in the world except
falsehood and meanness, and 10 fear
nothing except cowardice to be gov
srned by your admirations rather than
by your disgusts; to covet nothing
that is your neighbours except his
kindness Of heart and gentleness of
manners to think seldom of your
enemies, often of your friends, and
every day of Christ; and to spend as
much time as you can, with body and
with spirit, in Gods out of doors
these are little guide-posts on the foot
path to peace-Hsnrv Van Dyke.

state vs. Northern Central Railway
In the Court of Appeals on Wednesday Judge
Schumacher gave an opinion in the case OF the
State Vs. the Northern Central Railway Com
pany. This appeal presents the question
whether so much of the act of 1880, chapter 16,
as granted to the Railroad Company an
exemption from taxation on the gross rev.
enues from its property in Maryland beyond
the annual rate of one-half of one per cent.
was subject to repeal by subsequent legislation.
If it is determined that the act was subject to
repeal, then the further question arises whether
it was in fact, repealed by the act of1S90, chap
ter $50, which imposed a tax of one per cent.
per annum on the gross receipts of all railroads
in the State operated by steam. The act of
1880 having been passed under the Constitu-
ton of 1852, it is not within the legislative
power to grant immunity from taxation, and
the act of $780, chapter l6, was not an irrepeal-
able contract, and under the act of 1890, chap
ter $50, the company will have to pay one per
centum per annum on its gross receipts. Judg-
ment reversed and case remanded.
