The Modern Course of true Love.
BY WALTER CAREY.
They met amid the ball-room's glare,
And only this had either noted, ‘
T int he was dark and she was fair,
When broathle sin the waltz they floated.
But in that instant Cupid flung
A chain that bound theirhearts together;
She thought that Hybla tipped his tongue
Although he only praised the we itlrer.
£0 him her spirit seemed divine,
Taough still she talked but ccrnmonplaces -
Her accents breathed the tuneful Nine,
Her face and figure all the Graces.
His cent her critic eye approve;
110 owned perfection in her bodice ;
And if to her a god he moved,
To him no lcss'sbe swam a g. airless.
So when they (1 lured it seemed to each
Their bliss burl brinnncd its fullest measure;
And when they sat in tender speech,
Life held for them no equal pleasure.
So sitting pleased and bent to please,
Or whirling through the galop's mazes,
UnconséiOuély by swift degrees
Taey slip; ed through all lovc‘s sweetest
phases.
He brought he:- bouillon on the stair,
He brought her sandwiches and salad,
With here a hint of deep despair,
And there a snatch of woeful ballad——
With pensive pauses, shifts abrupt,
And speaking gaps-of conversation,
Andso by turns they sighed antl‘supped,
And‘ slid from ices to flirtation.
He squeezed her handshc blushed and sighed;
Her lips said “Fie l” but not her glances:
Ile told of lovers that had died, -
Of cruel maids in old romances;
He clasped her waist, he stole a kiss;
l-I'cr eyes still foiled her lips’ “How dare be,"
They dropped cold “Mn," formal “Miss,"
And he was Frank and she was Mary.
Fifteen delicious minutes passed ;
Love’s star had reached its culmination.
Twin souls they knew. themselves at last,
Born for each other from creation.
IIe swore, ere half an hour went by,
She was his bosom's only idol;
As much she vowed ; with rapturous eye,
The glad youth urged an early bridal.
Ah, sweet,,coy maiden shame! NO more
Than this the modest Muse discovers-
They-parted at her carriage door
Earth’s fondest pair of plighted lovers;
With kisses, tears, and vows to meet
They parted—and Love’s Ilium fur't ;
Next day she cut him on the street,
And he; the false one, never knew it!

Married Women’s Property.
All property hereafter acquired by any
married woman shall be held byher to her
sole and separate use—Sessions Statutes,
1878, ye 300.
The foregoing statute, only two lines in
length,makes a very great changein the prep-
erty rights of married wOmen not'afifectcd by
the statute of last year. The law only ap-
plies to marriages solemnized after the pass-
age of the net. This statute reaches all cases
where property accrues to any married woo
man after the 25th of April, 1878, whether
by decd,.will, distribution, or in any‘ other.
manner. .
l3eforc speaking of . the legal rights of we-
men under this statute,it may be well to refer
briefly to the condition of the rights she now
enjoys at commen' law, and by various stat-
utes passed since 1849.,
The property'rights ‘of Connecticut m-rr-
ried women are of four different grades,
which have grown more and more liberal-
withthe advance of time and liberal ideas-
1. The personal property which accrued
to a married women before 1849. became the
husband's absolutely. In her real estate the
husband had an interest during their joint
lives inall cases; Should .living issue ever
be born, the . husband. became entitled, gby
“courtesy," to the use ‘of his wife's land dur-
ing his own life, even though he outlived
both wife and children.
2. By' the act of 1849 and subsequent
statutes the wife was given a reversionary in-
terest in her personal property, the- husband
holding it merely as trustee and having only
an estate during his life therein. The wife’s
reversionary interest is very indifferently pro.
tected by a right of application to the court
of probate, against the husband, for a bond
to prevent the squandering of her property,
and, in certain cases, for his removal from
control of it as trustee. His interest in her
real estate remains substantially as at com-
mon law. ‘
All property which was accrued tomatried
women betwoen 1849 and April 25, 1878,
comes under this head, except real estate
bought with the avails of their personal servi-
ces, and except property reached by the act.
which went into effect on the 20th of April,
1877.
3. The next grade of married women's
property rights is the “separate property"
system. This has grown out of the practice
which has long prevailed in wealthy English
' families of requiring marriage settlements to‘
protect the wife’s property against lhe ex-
orbitant powers given the husband over it at
common law. This system has the sanction
of what are termed courts of equity, and has
been extended, in most of the states of this
Union, to all the wife’s property. ‘In this
state, however, there has been little liberality
of this kind, till the passage of the law re-'
printed at the head of this article. Hence-
forth the separate system will apply to all
property hereafter acquired by women who
were married before the 20th of April; 1877.
4. The fairest married woman's property
act we have ever seen is that passed by our
legislature of last year, and which went into
effect on the 20th of April, 1877. It emanci-
pates the married woman from all' the tram-
mels of the common law as regards her con-
trol of her own property, and places the
marriage relation, and the rights and duties
of husband and wife, on a footing of justice
and equality utterly unknown to the com
mon law and to the older Connecticut statutes
Unluckily this set could not; be retroactive,
and applies only tomarriages contracted after
the 2021. of April, 1877, and to marriages
contracted before that time where the wife
is emancipated by written. and recorded
agreement with her husband.
As all the property to behcreaftcr acquired
by married women is to be controlled either
by the act of 1877 or by that of 1878, we
have heard frequent inquiry regarding the
respective interests of husband and wife in the
same. The act of 1877 explains itself better
than we can explain it. We will venture,
however, to summarize its provisions briefly
as follows: ,
The wife has as full control of her proper-
ty, and as full power of making contracts
and executing deeds, as if she were still sin-
gle. Though the husband is primarily liable
for the surport of the family, both are held
bound for the articles that have been used
for the support of the family. In case either
dies having made a will, the survivor is nev-
ertheless entitled to the use of a third of the
property of the deceased for life, whatever
maybe the provisions of the will; if there
is no will, the survivor holds the third (if
there are no children, half ) absolutely.
It would take much more space than is left
at our disposal to give any complete idea of
the “separate property”. system created by
our statute of this year. We may slate gen.
erally, however, that the wife has full control
of her separate personal property, and over.
the income of her separate real estate; but
she cannot deed her real estate without her
husband joins in the deed. She is liable on
all contracts she makes for the benefit of her
separate property, for labor on the same, and
for supplies thereto; but she. is bound by no
'confidencc.
general Contract On a consideration having no
reference to. her separate estate, unless such
contract contains a ' Special provision
binding her separate property. In short, her
range of independent ' action is narrowed
strictly to the Controland management of
her separate estate.» Beyond that, she remains
351,217 the full disabilities of the common law.
.Vln‘the disposal of a deceased wife's sepa-
rate property, a strange and utterly irratic nal
distinction Occurs. The surviving husband
takes his “crurtesy,” or use for life, of all
her'scparatc real estate, but has no successo-
ry right whatever in her separate personal
property (Baldwin vs. Carter, 17 Conn. 201.)
It may be doubtfhl whether he can take any
interest even in his door 11,-)Ctl wife‘s real estate
s'iotrlvl ._it be, otherwise disposed of by the
\vill‘our law crrrpower's her to make.
{would it net .. be more prudent, as well as
just, for husbands and wives affected by all
the varieties 'of the law above detailed to
place themselves within the provisions of the
act of 1877? All’th’at is needed to effect this
is a short agreement in writing, to be placed
on the rceOrdsiof-‘the town where they re-
sitlc.— Lia‘ltfiéltl Enquirer,
< A. A...—
Tlic .Plllltldl'llm gives the following con-
densed report of the. address made 'to the
graduating c‘ass of the ’Yale Law School,
laSt chur may, by Hon. 11. C. Robinson, of
Hartford ::
Mr. Robinson began by payinga high com-
piiment to Hon. Randal Gibson, whose place
he had taken, and announced his purpose to
offer afew practical thoughts to the young
men soon to he graduated and enter practice.
Said h‘c': L‘et’mc suggest one 01" two elements
of your successes lawyers: I charge. you
that upon the trans :endant importance of pcf-
sonatcharactcr. Dropout Of the horizon of
your thought, or even of your dream,.tbe
idea" that there is a possibility of success on
the other side of absolute righteousness and
fairness. The flash firilliaucy which some-
times accompanies deeeption and falsehood
and intrigues only darkens the darkness
which is sure to follow it. You may once
or twice win a cause by misrepresenting facts,
by misquoting authorities, by confusing an
honest witness, or by corrupting a juror, but
your victories will be your certain defeat by
their exhausting of all within and about you
that doesnt melt in rain. or sunshine. You
may temporarily replenish a bank account,
which a young lawyer always finds to be-
small and an older lawyer seldom finds to be
too large, by encouraging useless litigation or
by some petty artifice, small trick, or specu-
lative suit—but at what a cost !
'First, you lose your selfrespcct, and with-
out that company in your office, in the court
room and at your fireside, the solitudes of
Sahara will be heaven to you. Next you
will- lose your confidence in lneu, without
which you can have no confidence in God,
who made man, and then you become a dis-
mal-failure. And next you will lose the con-
fidence of men in you, and then life is almost
too short for a second growth of that radical
element in all success. You will go into ac-
tivities which will tempt you every day to
break over some law of truth or charity. The
you to be superficial; the temporary success
of assurance and self-assertion will tempt you
to immodesty; the exigencies of your client’s
cause will tempt you to an untruth. Remem-
her it is on just these experiences yotman
make your character. Innocence is babyish;
character made by temptations resisted is
manly. And Mr. Emerson profoundly says
that we gain the strength} of the temptation
we resist as the Indian brave drunk in the
courage and strength of his victim by tasting
his blood. All the professions live upon
Confidence in yourself—the con-
fidence of professional associates—the confi-
dence of the public where you must find
your clienlage. If you have lost public confl-
dence,your opportunitcs are gone; if you have
lost the confidence of your professional breth-
ren they are greatly narrowed,if you have lost
your own coafidence you must walk without
sun or stars. Be pure then in your character
and clean in your practice. -
I charge you again upon the consummate
importance of industry. Remember that in
our profession, at least, genius is a lost art.
Faithful, careful, honest investigation, direct
and exhaustive, the mastery of your subject
in hand is possible to you all. You may
have—you do have, special gifts; as oratory,
accurate reasoning, methodical habits in style
and in your management of affairs; you may
more. easily turn to advocacy, or to counsel,
or to co‘ancing, or to drafting contracts,
or to mechanical inventions; your tempera-
ment may fit you for partisan argument or
for judicial analysis, but the practice of our
profession is large enough for all these things
and, although its membership is by no means
small, there is always room enough for good
lawyers. And remember to develop, especial-
ly in early life, that side of your professional
training to ”which your tastc‘least inclines
you. The time may come when you can
select your business, but that will not be to-
morrow, and it is an occurrence by no means
uncommon that some of our rnOst noted
specialists have become so by force of cir»
cumslanccs which seemed accidental. and
against their early inclinations. Be industri-
ous. This is a day which searches with cru-
cibles for truth ; which thinks less of fringes
and borders, and settings and frames. * '
I charge you once more, and some of you
may have anticiparcd my lesson, to take a
wife. No man can be a thoroughly good
lawyer until his manliness is rounded out in
the stature of a husband and fatlrcr.. The
picture of a marriage to a profession which
excludes the marriage of which we speak is
a marriage of monomaniru A lawyer's du-
ties require such a knowledge of life as can
only Come from experience. To the clergy-
man, who ministers 'in the name of the
world’s Savior, there comes a troop of chil-
dren of one and another want for his good
counsel; to the physician who ministers in
the name of the same Holy One, who Him-
self borc our sickness, there comes another
troop of the same perplexed sons of want;
and to the‘lawyer, preaching in the name of
this same Great Advocate-himself the
Truth—and in the name . of that law
whose anchorage is eternal love, there comes
in perhaps greater numbers for counsel and
guidance, wives and husbands and children,
out of the ways of doubt, suffering and
grief, into the green pastures of comfort and
peace. Fill out then the stature of manhood,
that your counsels, laden with knowledge,
may be tempered with wisdom—wisdom
gained by experience, experience which syru-
pathizes, experience which is appreciative by
kinship and by contrasts. "f *
Remember, my young friends,tbat all truth
is governed by laws. It is only in the ser-
vice of truth and God that there is perfect
freedom. Remember that wit is closely al-
lied to madness, and freedom to ultra free.
dom, which is tyranny. When the great
truths of individual right and the labor break
ovcr law, they become communism, and tie
blue sea is a maelstrom. When the great
great :truth of free ' suffrage breaks through
its laws into unnature, the groves, just now
vocal with wisdom, are clamorous with the
chatterings of lunacy.
Take, then, your well-earned degree, and
come to the good battle of life, and quit you
like men. One word of philosophy and I am
will lose causes which in your very t’s
deepest conviction you Will feel assure that
you should have gained; you will sometimes
see your warmest hopes chilled by some un-
locked-for result. Let me say to you, as
good old Dr. Dwight said to a graduating
senior class, and it was all the address he
made them, “Young gentlemen, when it. rains
let it rain.”

The attention of the traveling public is respect-

embedded in a foundation of rockballnst eighteen
Inches in depth. Ail bridges are of iron or stone,
and built upon the most approved plans. lts pas-
senger cars, while eminently safe and substantial.
are at the same time models of comfort and ele-
trance.
The Safety Appliances
in use on this line well illustrate the far-seeing
and liberal policy of its management, in accord-
ance with which the utility only of an improve-
ment and not its cost. has been the question of con-
stderation. Among many may be noticed
THE BLOCK SYSTEM'OF SIGNALS,
JANNEY COUPLFR, BUFFER. AND

THE WHARTON PATENT SWITCH,
\ AND
, THE ‘WESTINGHOUSE AIR-BRAKE,
forming in conjunction with a perfect double

A Tree-Agent Trced.
The July Seaman]: will contain the con-
cluding installment of Mr. F. ll. Stockton’s
droll “Rudder Grange” sketches, which are
to be published in book form in the fall. One
of the incidents of this last sketch is quoted
below. The proprietor of Rudder Grange,
returning from adrivc with Euphcmia, his
wife, finds a trump in one of his trees and a
tree-agent in another near by, with his savage
(102'. 30rd Edward, plying between. Tire
followmg scene ensues:
“This one,” said Pomona, “is a tree-man—”
“I should think so," said I, as I caught
sight of a person in gray trowscrs standing
among the branches of a cherry-tree not very
far from the kitchen door. The tree was not
a large one, and the branches were not strong
enough to allow him to sit down on them,
although they supported him well enough, as
he stood close to the trunk just out Of reach
of Lord Edward.
“This is a very unpleasant position, sir,”
said he, when I reached the tree. “I-BimPIY
came into your yard, on a matter of business,
and finding that raging beast attacking a per-
son in a. tree, I had barely time to get up into
this tree myself, before he dashed at me.
Luckily I was out: of his reach: but I very
much fear I have lost some of my property.’
“No. he hasn’t," said Pomona. “It was a
big book he dropped. I picked it up and took
it into the house. It’s full of pictures of pears
and peaches and flowers. I’ve been looking
at: it. That’s how I knew what he was. And
there was no‘ call for his gittin’ up a tree.
Lord Edward never would have gone after
him if he hadn't run as if he had guilt on his
soul.”
“I suppose, then,” said I, addressing the
individual in the cherry-tree, “that you came
here to sell me some trees.”
“Yes, sir,” said he quickly, “trees, shrubs,
vines, evergreens,-—everything suitable for a
gentleman‘s country villa. I can sell you
something quite remarkable, air, in the way
of cherry-trees,———French ones, just imported;
bear fruit three times the size of anything
that could be produced on a tree like this.
And pears—fruit of the finest flavor and of
mormous size—” .-
“Yes,” said Pomona. “I seen them in the
book. But they must grow on a ground-vine.
No tree couldn’t hold such pears as them."
Here Euphemia reproved Pomona’s for-
wardness, and I invited the tree-agent to get
down out of the tree. ‘
“Thank you," said be; “but .not while
that dog is loose. If you will kindly chain
him up, I will get my book and show you
specimens of some of the finest small fruit
in the world, all imported from the first nur-
series Of Europe—the Red-gold Amber Mus-
cat grape,——tlre—”
“Oh, please let him down i" said Euphe-
mia, her eyes beginning to sparkle.
I slowly walked toward the tramp-tree, re-
volving various matters in my mind. We
had not spent much money on the place durv
ing the winter, and we now had a small sum
which we intended to use for the advantage
of the farm, but had not yet decided what to
do with it. It behooved’me to be careful.
I told Pomona ,to run and get me the dog-
chain, and I stood under the tree, listening,
as well as I could, to the tree-agent talking
to Euphemia, and paying no attention to the
impassioned entreaties of the tramp in the
crotch above me. When the chain was
brought, I hooked one end of it in Lord
Edward’s collar, and thenI took a firm grasp
of the other. Telling Pomona to bring the
tree-agent's book from the house, I called to
that individual to get down from his tree.
He promptly obeyed, and, taking the book
from Pbmona, began to show the pictures to
Euphemia.
“You had better hurry, Sir,” I called out.
“Ican’t hold this dog very long.” And, in-
deed, Lord Edward had made a run toward
the agent, which jerked me very forcibly in
his direction. But a movement by the tramp
had quickly brought the dog back to his more
desired victim. .
“If you will just tie up that dog, sir,” said
the agent, “and come this way, I would like
to show you the Mcltinagua pear,-dlss, ' olves
in the mouth like snow, sir; trees will bear
next year.” '
“Oh, come look at the Royal Sparkling
Ruby grape i" cried Euphemia. “It glows
in the sun like a gem."
“Yes,” said the agent, “and fills the air
with fragkance during the whole month of
September—”
“I tell you," I shouted, “I can't hold this
dog another minute! The chain is cutting the
Run, sir, run! I’m going
to let go !" '
“Run! run l"
your life!”
The agent» now began to be frightened, and
shut up his book.
"If. you could only see the plates, sir, I’m
sure—" .
“Are you ready P” I cried, as the dog, ex-
cited by Pomona’s wild shouts, made a bolt
in his direction. '
“Good day, if I must——” said the agent,
as he hurried _ to the gate. But there he
stopped.
“There is nothing, sir,” he said, “that'
would so improve your place as a row of
the Spitzenberg Sweet-scented Balsam Fir
along this fence. I’ll sell you three-year-old
trees—”
“He’s loose l" I shouted, as I dropped the
chain. f .
In a second the agent was on the other side
of the gate. Lord Edward made a clash to-
ward him; but, stopping suddenly, flew back
to the tree of the tramp.
“If you should conclude, sir," said the tree
agent, looking over the fence, “to have anw
of those firs along here—” '
“My good sir,” said I, “there is no row of
firs there now, and the fence is not veryhigh.
My dog. as you see. is very much, excited,
and I cannot answer for the consequences if
he takes it into his head to jump over."
The tree~agent turned and walked slowly
away.
cried Pomona. “Fly for

The Yellowstone geysers are the most re-
markable in the world. There are more
than 10,000 vents. The Grand Geyser throws
acolumn of water six feet in diameter 200
feet high, while the stream ascends 1,000
feet. Its eruptions occur every thirty.two
hours, and continue twenty minutes. The
Giantess throws a stream twenty feet in
diameter, sixty feet high, and'through this
five or six smaller jets 250 feet. It: plays
twenty minutes once in eleven hours. The
Giant; sends up a five-foot column 140. feet
high for three hours. The Bee-Hive pro-
jects a column three feetin diameter to the
enormous height of 219 feet for about fifteen
minutes. Old Faithful, very regularly for
fifteen minutes once an hour, sends up its
massive column six feet in diameter 100 to
150 feet high.

It is the habit of occasionally a journal to
sneer at the talk about southern claims, as if
$11538 were little in it. Should the democracy
Sam boil} the executive and legislative
branches 1n 1880,-the country would see the
fiercest campaign ever waged against the
national treasury. The southerners have al-
rsady pending bills for several hundred mil-
lions. but they are not about to make politi-
cal capital for the republicans by strugghng
to get bills through with President Hayes and
Secretary Sherman guarding the treasury,and
the presidential fight not yet over. A re-
publican platform could not forget these con.
siderations—Hartford Oourant. .
