True Honesty,

Some ten or more years ago was en-
ploved to examine the title Of parcel of
land in Massachusetts. In making nv
investigation, ! found that one of the
prior grantors, through whom my client
derived his title, had possessed only an
estate for life, and could not, therefore,
legally convey any greater estate He
bad supposed however, that he possessed
an estate in fee, which is, in law, a larger
estate. Acting on this supposi,ion, he at
tempted to convey it is as such to his
grantee. This transaction had occurred
when the yalue Of the land was only some
few hundred dollars At The time Of nv
examination; however, large manufact>
uring town had been built up around the
land, and had greatly increased It's value
After discovering this fatal defect in
my clients title, it became very desirable
TO know in whom the legal tile to the
land vested. After many and careful In.
quires, found that young man in Pet
erboro, N H., was the legal owner |
also ascer,ained that the young man did
not know that he was the owner Of the
land.

Facts VS.. Theories.

"Give me place 10 rest my lever o."
says Archimsics, land | will move the
world" "Give me pure and unadulrera-
ted drugs" says Medcus, Of the olden
time. and | will cure disease"
In one sense, both CT these learned
puudits were the veries, charlatans. They
knew there was no place 20 rest their
lever Oh, either to move The world or to
cure disease Mechanism uas 10 a back
ward state, and the medical profession was
but another name for sorcery and all the
adjuncts Of magic filters and charms of
the "evil eye" &c.
But these latter days have borne unto
US something mere than even superstition,
and its crew ever dreamt of in their mades,
philosopy. 10 these days Of practical
science, what was theory Of yesterday is
fact to-day, and ali the o,d-time notions
become as bubbles in the sun, and burst
and break with every breath we draw.
Let Archimedes shoulder his lever and
we will find resting place for it to move
the world. Let mine ancient Medicus
pant and toll no more for the drugs he so
solely needs, for We have them a: our
hand, sver ready 10 serve them at Bis
beck.
Refined in the laboratory o. DR.. Mag
GEL, the finest materials known iE the
medical profession are obtainable ty any
one. His Bilious, Dyspeptic, and Diarr
hea Pills stand unrivalled. and bis Salve
operates with magical effect upon burns,
scaIds, and all sore. aud ulcers of the skin.
In fact, We think MAGG,EL's Pills and
Salve are the wonder of this century, aud
We are happy in the though, that many
of our brethren Of the craft agree with u.s.
We would earnestly counsel that all faini
