Intellectual Attainment.

Intellectual attainment is the most desirable because if you have wealth and no brains you are likely to loose it but if you have brains you are likely to gain wealth, and it is much harder to get brains than wealth. Wealth will not gain brains always. The greatest men are those that have brains, not those that have wealth. Wealth does not always gain society, but brains most always gain so- ciety. If there were no brains there would be no wealth. Wealth some times makes people mean, and hard hearted. People are more discontented that have wealth than those who have brains, because those that have brains generally use them, and those that don't have any brains do not use them. Those people that have wealth, and no brains are always doing something that they would not if they had brains. If anybody should get lost in forest and could not get out of it all the money in the world would not help you bit, but brains could get you out. If 8 man has wealth he is likely to be murdered for it, but if he has brains there is no use nurdering man for it, because you can not get them that way. A man that has wealth is more likely to make the people that have no wealth hate him, but man that has brains is more likely to make the people love him.

As the season in New England is often too short to grow perfect crops of corn and potatoes, they belng liable to be injured by the early frost, it is very important to use tablespoonful of Phosphate in the hill at planting time. This is we'll illustrated by the following communications
 I have used Bradley's phosphate for several years for corn and potatoes, with marked success. On field of corn I planted part with phosphate in the hill, and the balance with shovleful of good manure in the hill. Where I used the phosphate the corn was better all the season, as could be seen at a great distance. I planted piece of potatoes the 4th of June, using Brad ley's phosphate in the hill. It was so late that I did not think should have 8 big yield, but did. had good crop, and it was all owing to the phosphate. With our short seasons we cannot afford to plant without the phosphate,

 Gentlemen II have examined your formula, and after visiting your estab- Gshment and witnessing your method of preparing these bitters, unhesitating- ly testify that your bitters should pro- duce favorable results in any affection of the liver. While many disorders of that organ cannot be cured, temporary relief may be afforded to the worst cas- es. These bitters should be beneficial in many forms of kidney complaint, and decidedly valuable in dyspepsia, and in debility, arising from malaria or other remote causes.

OD HAS this court any power to investigate

who signed Asklns' affidavit are reputable
persons;" and (2) "Arc they reputable

A decision on these points by court OF
