He asked me for the choicest gift
Twas in my power to give;
could not say my lover nay,
And so bade him live


Within my heart,


o loving heart!
Thy faith on him was stayed;
On bended knee he promised me
A price-he has not paid!
He pledged his honor and his truth
To love till death shall part;
With love he bought the prize he sought,
And thus obtained my heart.


o happy heart!


o happy cline,
Through which we idly strayed!
What joy was ours, as through the flowers
A fragrant path we made!
But soon we reached the outer edge
OF this out Eden land;
Where love had reigned, and haply feigned
To do the Kings command.


0 loving heart!


o trustful heart
How was thy trust betrayed!
With love he bought the prize he sought,
But has the price been paid?
If should live thousand years,
/ ne'er again should know
The same regret, or could forget
Those days of long ago,


When first my heart,


This foolish heart,
Its choicest wealth displayed;
With love twas sought, with love twas


bought,
But has the price been paid?
The careless tone-thc unkind word
The changed and chilling mood,
Are these the things affection brings,
10 prove its promised good?


o foolish heart!


BE 10th to part
With love, though love entice;
So sharp trade with hearts is made,
That few will pay their price!

| Conventions united in denouncing
| grants of land to corporations and mo-
nopolies. If these resolutions refer to
the immense number of schemes which
have been placed upon Congress during
the past two years, to aid local railroads
and other corporations, they are wise
/ and oppOrtune. Scores of such bills
were introduced at the last session,
though very few if any of them were
passed. It is well for the people to
warn their representatives against the
mass of such bills which are now pend
/ ing in Congress. For myself / never
introduced nor voted for such a bill
| But if these party resolutions are inten-
ded to condemn the legislation which
has given land to aid in the construction
| of the great continental railway between
/ the Atlantic and Pacific, they are not,
in my judgement, either wise of oPpor-
tune. The opening up Of the vast will
derness on both slopes of the Rocky
mountains to settlement and civilization
was nearly or quite impossible without
these great roads. Within the last fif-
teen years both the political parties have
recommended in their national conven-
tions the building of a Pacific Railroad.
More than ten years ago William II.
Seward made a speech on the passage
of the first Pacific Railroad bill through
the Senate, in which occurred this strik-
ing and suggestive passage:


81 want it to be known, ! want it to
be seen and read of all men here and
elsewhere, that at the very day and houl
when it was apprehended by patriotic
and wise men throughout the land that
this Union was falling into ruin, the
Congress of the United States placed
upon the statute book, for eternal record,
an act appropriating ninety-six millions
the largest appropriation ever made
to bind the Northeast and the Northwest,
the Southeast and the Southwest, the
East and the West, and the North and
the South by physical, meterial bond
of indissoluble union.


The bill to aid in the construction of
the Union Pacific Railroad became a
law in 1862. In 1864 the bill was passed
to aid, by grant Of lands, the building
of the Northern Pacific road. Both po-
litical parties were divided in regard to
these bills but the completion of one of
the roads has fully vindicated the Wis
dom of the legislation.


The most important law passed at the
late session of Congress relating to
grants of land was an act amendatory
of the law of 1864 in regard to the


NORTHERN PACIFIC ROAD.


1t allowed the company to issue their
own bonds and mortgage the lands al
ready given to them, but it enlarged the
grant but little if any. On the passage
of this amendatory act both parties were
divided as they were in 1862 and 1904.
l have stated these details for the reason
that attempts have been made to repre-
sent that at the last session large grants
of land were recklessly made to railroad
corporations.

The Marlboro Gazette of Wednesday says
The following opinion OF the court VIII, it is L
be hoped, put 9uietus on one of the long-con-
tested cases against the Baltimore and Poto
mac railroad, and serve as a wholesome lessol
to others whose desire to throw obstacles in it
way have thus far met with little success. W,
that call is quiet along the lines" The case o
Brown and wife VS.. Baltimore and Potoma
railroad is reported as follows:


HIS Honor, Judge Magruder, filed his opinio'.
and decree III this case on the 21st instant, dis
solving the injunction and dismissing the bill O.
complaint, with costs to the respondents. TIL
vexed question of the rights and power Of mar
ried women under our statutes, which was in
vOlved in this case, has naturally attracted much
attention to 1T, and we quote the following pas
sage from the able opinion filed, as matter OF
general interest:


cit is immaterial whether the property wa
acquired before or after the adoption of tn
code. In either case the married woman wa,
under an absolute inability to contract for tn.
sale of the property, or for any interest therein
If the property was not the separate estate o.
the married woman, she could make no contract
in reference thereto, and could only dispose o
it by deed, in which her husband should unite
III the property was her separate estate sh
could contract for the sale thereof, if the in
strument creating the estate gives the power O.
alienation; but when the instrument restrict
the power of alienation, the contract contrar,
thereto is void. Unless the power of alienation
exists, the property can only be disposed Of b!
deed.''


Numerous ana very high authorities are cite
in support OF these propositions. In regard
the changes effected by the code he says: 9Th
only change the code makes in the law, as il
previously existed, is to provide that all TIL
property of a married woman shall be held foi
her separate use, with power Of devising thu
same as fully as if she were femme sole, or she
may convey the same by a joint deed with he
husband, Here, while the use Of the propertl
by the wife is unlimited, and the power OF dis
position by will Is also unlimited, yet at The
same time the power Of disposition during he
lifetime is limited to a joint deed with her hus-
band, and as this is the only mode Of alienation
pointed out, it must be considered as exclusive
of any other and so no contract on her part as IL
the disposition of the property Is covered by the
terms of the law"


From these extracts it will be seen that al
though the railroad company may 60 on with
the work, yet the court cannot enforce Brown
and wife to execute deed for the land, the title
to which, should they decline to convey, must
be acquired by inquisition and condemnation
We trust, however, this recourse will not be
necessary.
