CHRISTMAS GREEN.

- HRISTMAS green in hearts we keep,
81 Needless of the scowling weather,
81 Needless of the gusts that sweep
49, Der the woodlands and the heather
Masses in the night we sing
By the side of floral msnger,
While the wickets widely swing
For the pilgrim and the stranger.
Cedars with the roses Irvine
Round the chancePs inner railing,
While the winds and waves combine
Coronachs and dirges wailing;
While the crown of drifted snow
Clusters DER the marbles whiteness,
Then. mcseems, the arctic foe
Glimmers with a summer brightness.

Christmas FenrtInr.

During the middle ages the whole
Christmas season was given up to rev
els and jolIity, in which eating and
drinking had n prominent part. The
Saxon instinct of our English ancestors
led them to make of every holiday an
occasion for feasting. Plenty to eat
and to drink was their idea of n festi-
val, no matter how sacred might be its
associations. On Christmas they not
only lined their stomachS with good
capon. as did Shakespeare's justice,
but stuffed themselves with all sorts Of
rich, nourishinG food and strongly COM
pounded puddings and pies.

 3. Bill for cancellation of mortgaEe and for an injunction; decreee erro- neous when complainant required to pay more than the amount of the loan with legal interest-Where a bill is filed by 6 mortgagoS to be relieved from usury and to en1oin the foreclos- ure of a mortgage and to have the mortgage cancelled. upon the ground that there was usury in the transac- tion. and the complainant offers to pay such sum as might be found due on the debt. a decree is erroneous which requires the complainant to pay any, thing in excess of the amount ascer- tained to be due on the principal of the loan. together with lngal interest as a condition to the maintenance of the bill. and which fails to provide for the complainants relief in the event of the payment of the amount so ascertained to be due with legal in- terest.
 3. Same: same: when improper to allow attorneys fee--Where a mortga- gor files a bill asking to have the fore- closure of c mortgage enjoined and the mortgage cancelled on the ground that there was usury in The transaction, and it is shown that in the note which the mortgage was given to secure the defendant promises to pay. in addition to the sum borrowed, "all the expenses incurred in collecting the name, includ- ing attorneys fec" and 1t was stipu- lated in the mortgage that In the event of foreclosure. the proceeds of sale should be used in payment of the note and sundry expenses and attor- ney's fee for foreclosing the mort ney's fee to the defendant .n such suit for defending the same.

-O~ Conversion and Injury to Animal. - Appeal from Anniston City Court. Troyer; what constitutes conVer- sion hy a bailee Where a person hires an animal for a specified kind of work and for a definite time, and in viola tion of the bailment such person uses it for other and different labor, or for a time longer than that specified for, such unauthorized use by the batlee is a conversion of the animal for which the bailor may maintain trover for its value.
 2. Same; same; case at bar.-In an action of trover to recover damages for the alleged conversion of a mule, the evidence showed that the plaintiff had rented said mule, together with It's mate, to the defendant. for the purpose of blowing them, at the rate of p cents per hour. and the plaintiff was to fur nish a driver; that after three days the driver furnished by the plaintiff was taken sick and the defendant sent the team back to the plaintiff with a note in which he said that If you can let me have the team for balance of week. I will let" a person the defend- ant had hired. blow it. The team was sent back, it was not returned at the end of the week but was plOwed a part of the day on Monday; that even ing the mule involved in the cOntrover- sy was taken sick and died. Held: That the acceptance by the plaintiff of the terms proposed in the note extended the operation of the bailment until Saturday night and no longer; that the use of the mule by the plaintiff on the following Monday, in the absence of all proof of consent by plaintiff of it's use on that day, was unauthorized, and, therefore. constituted a conversion for which the defendant is liable in an ac tion of trover.
