less they have conclusive evidence that the
title is right in every respect Mistakes in
the conveyance of property, releases of
mortgages that have been satisfied, and
mistakes of any kind can be corrected or
adjusted during the life of the persons who
were parties to them with little trouble or
expense. The longer they are delayed,
however, the greater the difficulty becomes.
Every owner of farming land should be
able "to read his title clear" he should
have his chain of title drawn out by one
competent to do it, and examined by one
whose judgment is good III such matters.
He should also preserve his deeds and tax
receipts. Our system Of land surveying is
very simple in the west, as is our system of
conveying property. Still many land
owners are very negligent about tho matter
Of boundaries and titles.

TITLE TO LAND.

Having ascertaiaed the exact boundaries
of farm, the owner would do we'll to have
the title examined, and, if necessary, per-.
fected. There is as much uncertainty
about the title as about the boundaries of
many farms. Many buy farms without
first obtaining an abstract of title and with
out having an abstract examined by per-
son competent to pass on its merits. They
take the sellers word that the title is good.
His word may be good on most matters,
but the title to the land he conveys may be
very poor, and this without his knowledge.
Deeds are often inaccurately drawn and &C.
knowledged by incompetent persons, and
lead to great trouble at some period.
Mortgages are often given and satisfied,
but no evidence of their having been salts
fed appears on the county record. The
time has already come in cities when a
purchaser requires an abstract of title to
any property he buys. This time will soon
come 10 the country. People will not pay
large sums of money for farmsng land un-

A Shanghai letter TO the Philadel-
phia Press says: The most barbarous
Of al The death rites which have been
observed in China was that Of immo-
lating human beings mt the tombs of
the departed great. As high rs III
men have been buried alive in the
tomb Of a single individual. This hOr-
rible custom does not prevail at all
now, OF course, but the same false and
inadequate notions of the sacredness Of
human life do prevail universally. But
of all Chinese customs the most re-
markable has been the prevalent, pub
JIG, fashionable suicides, conducted in
public with every show OF pomp, and
sometimes actually under the general
direction OF a Mandarin. A gay pro-
cessiOn would be formed, and de-
lighted throng would follow the pros
pective victim TO a scallold which had
been erected with great care. The
seats commanding the best view of the
sacrifice would be sold, and there
would be a grand turnout of the sui
Gliding party 5 friends, as well as of the
public at large Perhaps it would be
young widow who had resolved to
end her miserable existence on account
of the death Of her husband, a widow
not being privileged to remarry in Chi
ma. The occasion would be treated as
regular holiday by the natives, For
a time the woman would chat pleas
antly with her friends, partaking of a
bountifu feast with them on the gal
lows. Then, having caressed n little
child that was placed upon the table
before her, and adorned it with a neck
lace, she would take q basket of flow
ers and scatter the blossoms gayly
among the crowd after which she
would cheertully place her head in the
moose and swing off into eternity. AS
a rule, suicides are now performed
without such publicity, but they are
very common.

prominent business man of that place.
He writes:

been known as PARKER's GINGER Tonic,
will hereafter be advertised and sold under
the name OF PARKER's Tone. lnasmuch
as ginger is really an unimportant ingredi-
emf, and unpricipled dealers are constantly
deceiving their customers by substituting
inferior preparations under the name OF
ginger, we drop the misleading word.
There is no change, however, in the

Cheer.

In homely language, "to make the
best Of things or "to look on the
bright side, - is the habit Of life that we
approve in others; aud the approval we
give those who act in that temper inn
plies our belief that the opposite mood
is culpabe. 1t has been said that the
best Of life is conversation; and to con-
versation society is requisite. Certain
w. therefore, it is much to our advan-
tage to cultivate that side Of our char
acter which will make our company
desirable; and We may rest assured
that no brilliance Of speech, no attract
iyencss Of manners, no rare attain
mcnts or acquisitions that we may
possess, will render our society so wei
come and so beloved as CHEEKY tenn
per Pride itself might well come TO
our aid, and bid us keep countcnance
of cheer; for what is a detected bear
ing but confess on that we have not
been able to hold our own in the battle
of liic-that we have been wOrsted,
and that no efforts we can make are
sufficient 10 restore 10 us that which we
have lost, or can satisfy those de-
sires which we have nourished? This
is an avowal which we should be
ashamed to make in words Why,
then, should we publish it in our de-
meanor? The seIf-reliant man, the
man who is able to hep himself and
others, and is conscious Of brave effort
and high endeavor, will, despite re-
verses, have the spirit and the tortitude
to comport himself cheerily among his
fellow-men; and will find that this very
cheer is q key to open to him men
hearts and homes at once-is a magic
power that finds him a chair at every
table and place by every hearthside.
He will find this, and he will recognize
that it is cheer that he himself seeks
in the intimacy and converse of friends
cheer that he seeks in his fayorite
pleasures-cheer that is offered to him
by the lessons Of religion; that it is this
that makes the live and ripping brook
the darling Of the cleaning woodland
it is this that makes the glow-worm
the darling OF the moonless August
night is this that makes the robin
the darling of the silent winter morn
ing, when the trees are leatless, and
the snow is abroad, and no other bird
has heart to sing. Chambers Journal.

husband was out tramping the streets
in search Of any sort OF work which
would earn them bread. The charia-

and after spending an hour or two with
the sick lady she left u dollar in cash
to buy medicines. When she had done
this she went home with glad heart,
but later in the day, rs she was obliged
to pass the house again, she saw the
