Wonderful to Contemplate

IT N an age remarkable for +" wars. and rumors OF
i wars" of intrigue and blood shed for good reas-
oning and bad conduct, for sound rules and corrupt
manners, when virtue fills our heads but vice our
hearts when those who would persuade US that
they are quito sure of heayen. appear to be In no
greater hurry to go there than others, but put on
the livery Of the best masters only to serve the
worst ii, an age when modesty herself is more
ashamed of detection than of delinquency when
independent Of principles which to depend and
free thinking not in thinking freely, but in being
free from thinking; in an age when patriots will
hold ANYTHING but their tongues-keep anything
but their works-lose nothing particularly except
their characters to improve such an age must be
difiicult-to instruct such an age must be danger

sion of Williams the purchaser, was wronful and
tortuous, against the plaintiffs and also as to their
neither, from the date Of his deed in April, 1851;
and that in equity cause of action and right of suit
accrued TO all and each of them, from that time
The sale Of Talbot being breach Of trust and void
they could instantly have sued in equity for a re-
eoyery OF this land. The act of 1873 bars equita-
Die, as well as legal titles, and operates extin
punishment OF the same, and invests the possessor
with perfect title in fee simple
Whenever the equitable owner is sli ilris and
can sue but Omits to do for seven years the en-
tire title and fee are, by the statute placed in the
possessOr.
And this is So though the legal title be in a trus
tee and whether he be capable Of suing or not
The statute, therefore, rs to 6-Tths of this land
began TO run against the plaintiffs, from the
time the adverse pOssiOn commenced, though they
were then all in fault and two of them viz: Samuel
d. BelOate and William d. BelOate, having failed TO
sue for three years after they came of age are bar
red but as to Charles r. and Reginald A. Beloate
they having sued within three years after the re-
noyal of their disability the latter in fact while yet
an infant, saved by the proviso in the statute
Guion vs.. Anderson, 8 Hume, 326.
As to the remaining 18th in which Elizabeth B.
Beoate had so equitable life estate, none of the
paiatiffs are bound because their interest in t

after her death, Hume, S2T-S, Miller vs. Miller.

Ii follows also that the plaintiffs. so far as not
bound have legal status in Court and at law,
maintain this suit the same having been instituted
when their legal title to the possession perfect,
by the death Of their mother.
Whether any of the plai after they became
sal jvis and with free knowledge of their rights
and for the purpose of binding themselves, have so
adopted ard recognized the sale made By Talbot TO
Williams, by an acceptance Of the purchase money
paid By him for this land, otherwise. as to stop
them from suing for their embarred interests in the
same-the proof in the record does not show. How
this is, will, Of course, be open to evidence upon

Npw YORK LIFE-The domicils of New York, and
the xretbed condition of the tenement houses, are
greatly instrumental in causing Indebtedness among
he CITY poor In the First ward, Of 2,sl4 families,
2slI live In tenement houses and S4S families live
in So houses being on average, so soule to each
house. In the EaVeRth ward there are number OF
rear houses ll3 of which contain 1858 families,
teing about the same average OF 10 souls IN each
haUse "a contain 4O7 families, being an average Of
II families and so souls per house. and this horrible
erowdng Il must be remembered, Is In rear houses.
In the Fourteenth ward there areseventytWD houses
containing on an average IS souls and in the FIT
teenth ward ten houses contain 80 persons EACH IN
the different wards there are about three thousand
houses each occupied by 50 persons Again while
81 III of the dwellings IN the twenty wards OF New

persons the remaining 1881 houses shelter si6s4
families or ONE 435 900 persons being an average
of five families and more than % souls to e9eh

than three-fourths Of our population are living IN
this crowded manner. There are many blocks IN
tbe city, covering an area of not more than four
hundred feet square, that contain nearly twice as
MANY families as are found all the Fifth avenue
