manumitted by his master, and was under

Falling into bad health he went to Phila-

Mason and DiXOn'S Line

what is meant by Mason and Dixon's liner
asked bright blueeyed girl of twelve years of age
when sitting at her fathers table, few days ago
The answer was, 1T is a phrase usually emp we'd
to describe the boundary between the free an&save
States" But why do they describe in that wsvg''
was her inquiry. The answer may be worth giving
to some Of your younger readers.
In the seventeenth century, James IL, Of Eng
land, then the Duke Of York, gave certain lands
both to Lord Baltimore and to William Penn and
difficulty soon sprang up as to the proper owner
OF these lands on the Delaware. Again and again
was the affair carried into the Courts, till in the
wear 1860 when George III. came to the crown. the
Lord Chancellor Of England made decision: bot
new difficulties sprung up in drawing the boundary
lines. The commissioners finally employed Messrs.
Mason and Dixon, who had just returned from the
Cape of Good Hope, where they had been to OBJ
serve the transit of Venus. They succeeded in es-
tablishing the line between Delaware and MARYLAND
which has ever since been called Mason aud Dix
on's line. WatekmaH ! Reflector.
