The Bomariee bfSaHngffills.;
Some time ago, I had ocoasionto go
to Doctoi;’fl Commons to lookat the wll
Jefa dead man. The hand that signed
■' it was in the grave long before-dust
perhaps ; but the record of the will
&hich animated that hand was there
among those dusty folioß, engrossed in
. am almost undecipherable hand, which
tell how nil the real property in the
country has been disposed of over and
over again. I had no difficulty in find
ing it, for I had a note of the precise
day the deceased died on. It is unneces
sary to say anything about the contents
of that will, however, for they have no
relation to what I am writing. It is
only the date which I have any busi
ness with. The will was dated the day
before the man died. I, of course, had
often heard of men making their wills
when they werejjust at death’s door,
without any particular thought being
excited; but this time I was sur
prised, as a single fact very often
does surprise us, when we have
passed by a host of similar ones unno
ticed. Ik new the man who had made
that will. He was a shrewd, prudent,
sharp lawyer, who had risen from noth
ing to be a man of immense wealth. If
he was distinguished for any qualities
in particular, it was for punctuality and
promptitude. None of the clerks of his
oflice were ever five minutes too late.—
That was an offence not to be forgiven.
No one ever knew him to be behind an
appointment, or to let business go un
done. His house-keeper, who managed
his bachelor home for many years, only
kept her place by being exact to time.
Yet this man had not made his will till
a few hours before his death; and, there
fore, the possession of his property form
ed tlie subject of a ver} flourishing law
suit.
When I went outiof that dark, dismal
catacomb of dead men’s wills, I went
‘ on thinking of all the similar cases of
procrastination which I knew or had
heard of—and they were not a few—for
this is a piece of experience of one who
was a law clerk before he quarrelled
with a red tape. What a curious cata
logue they were! There was an old
lady, a toothless dowager, who had a
reprobate and discarded son, and a
pretty, gentle niece who lived with her.
We used to manage all her aflairs, and
it was pretty well known in the oflice
that the “nice girl with the curls,” was
to be the old lady’s heir. Our head
clerk, a red-whiskered dandy, who had
no mean opinion of himself, built, I
could say, certain speculations on that
basis. \l’ke old lady never came with
out Eliza; and when a visit was expect
ed, Catchpole brushed his fiery hair
into tlje most killing curls, and changed
tlie out-at-the elbows coat for the smart
one he wore out of doors, and beautified
himself as far as that was practicable.
Well,' a message came one day that tlie
old lady was ill—very ill —with an ur
gent request that some one should go at
once aud make her will. Oil’ went our
Adonis as fast as a promise of some tiling
liberal over the fare could urge the eab-
Wheu lie arrived, the old lady was
aliVb —just alive enough to tell him that
all her property was to be left to Eliza.
She told him that in the hissiug whisper
which suppliedjliwqilnce of the cracked
voice ; but wfTen sliecNffie to the word
“ all,” so full was the poor old creature
of love for tlie niece, or, perhaps, of de
termination—let us hope, not hatred
agaiust her sou—that she half rose up
in her bed aud clenched out that word
agaiu. It must have been a terrible
sight—that of life struggling with death
for a will ! It was a short matter to
write that will down ; and Catchpole’s
pen flew oyer tlie paper, and the old
eyes that were glazing so fast stared
anxiously the while,and tlie thin fingers
actually held the pen she had asked for
beforehand ready to sign tlie paper. In
a few moments all was ready ; but what
a difference that few minutes made.
The clerk had risen from his seat and
approached the couch, wilt u the surgeon
who stood on the other side, said, with
that coolne.-s which medical practice
brings, ”Jt is too late and it was too
late. Tlie dead fingers clenched the un
used pen so lightly that they had to be
unclasped from it. The sou was.lieirof
all, and Eliza a beggar ! Death had
translated that screamed out “ all” into
none. The sequel is soon told. Tlie
property was soon wasted by tlie repro
bate son, and lias long since passed into
other hands, and Eliza, instead of pos
sessing some thousands a year, and
being wooed by Mr. Catchpole, isa faded
daily governess.
Every lawyer’s oflice has plenty of
such stories as this. One I remember of
a miser who bad ruined more tlian one
family, and in his last moments wished
to make such reparation as bequeathed
gold could compass. Poor wretch!
when the will was brought, catalepsy
had seized him, aud lie lay there a liv
ing corpse—dead in all but mind. He
could not move his hand ; his tongue
refused its oflice; only his eyes were
free to move ; and of those eyes I have
been told aterrible tale. He was, as mis
ers often are, a man of strong mind aud
iron nerve. Passive as lie was in every
other part, the eyes told all that was
passing within. You could have seen
in them intelligence when the will was
read to him; the powerful volition
brought to bear, and persevered in,
when tlie written word- which was to
make it a testament was required; tlie
terror aud horror which came over him
when lie found tlie right hand which
had so often aided him for evil, would
not help him for good; tlie despair
which burst tlie unseen bonds around
him, and, with a convulsive motion,
let out the last of life. It must have
been a spectacle of horror, when pun
ishment came in the shape of a prohi
bition of the one act of mercy which
might have made some amends for a
whole life-time of wrong.
Then there was another legend of a
man whose daughter married against
iiis will. He lived somewhere in a re
tired country-house, far off' from any
town. This man was subject to a dis
ease of the heart, and one night, feeling
the symptoms of an approaching attack,
and that strange presentiment which
so often comes before death, he roused
his household aud sent off a messenger
on horseback, not for a BurgeoD, but for
a lawyer. He whiffed his will made im
mediately. Tlie messenger could not be
expected back for at least two hours,
aud long before that tlie spasmodic at
tack had come on, but stiijTn the inter
vals of his paroxisms, that determined
man wrote as though against time.—
When the lawyer did arrive, all that was
left of the living will which had been
so active and energetic a few hours
before, was that last piece of writing. It
expressed the deceased's intentions, in
the strongest terms, utterly to disinherit
his rebellious child, aud to give his
jjroperty to some charitable institution.
It was complete, even to the signature;
only the flourish usually added to the
name was wanting, as though there the
hand had failefl. But that writing was
not a will; it was not in proper form,
or attested. In the eye of the law it
wtjs but an invalid piece of paper, and
the daughter took that which her birth
right entitled her to.

Mottoes. . h
BY JENNIE HARRISON. ' :
“ I am sorry that Ross could ndtr be
with us to-day,” said uncle Henry, as
they reached the hill-top, and stood
looking at the beautiful prospect around
them.
“Soam I, uncle; but it’s all his own
fault! I told him two or three times lost
night that he had better study Instead
ofplaying with Rover and teasing El
sie ; but he wouldn’t pay any attention:
and when you called us for prayers, he
had only learned one lesson I”
“Poor Ross! how he begged Mr. Ar
nolt to excuse him ; but he wouldn’t,
even when lie knew that It was the
Inst day you were going to spend with
us!”
“ He’s a cross old man ! and I don’t
love him a bit! and I’ll never send my
little boys to his school!" exclaimed
little Elsie, hugging her” dolly” closely,
as if to protect it from such a cruel mas
ter.
The boys laughed uproariously at her
declaration; and uncle Henry was about
to tell her of the importance of such
strict discipline for “little boys,”—
when Arthur suddenly growing sober,
said emphatically, “ I never saw such a
fellow as Ross! he doesn’t seem to care
at all about getting on fast at school:
he’ll be lowest in the class for a whole
term, and it won’t trouble him any.
I’m sure he’ll never make a name in
the world! Now, for my part, I want
to be learning something every day;
adding to my knowledge. I can’t af
ford to miss a single lesson. Excelsior.'
that’s my motto! I think it’s a splen
did one! don’t you, uncle?”
“Yes,” answered: uncle Henry,
thoughtfully, looking attheboy’s glow
ing face and eager eyes. “So you mean
to make yourself a name in the world,
do you, Arthur?”
“ Yes indeed, uncle, if I can ! I want
to be foremost! Anything but being a
nobody! Higher! higher!” he added,
straightening up, and looking quite like
an orator.
“ You can’t get any higher,” said
Elsie, looking wonderiDgly at him,
“ you’re on top of the hill now!”
“ Little innocent! indeed not; not by
a long distance!”
“ And what’s your motto, Will? Ex
celsior, too?” asked uncle Henry, look
ing overwhere Will was leaning against
a tree, smiling at bis brother’s enthusi
asm.
“Oh, mine’s something like Ross’, I
•reckon: Take the world easy! I don’t
like mottoes that require so much
trouble! What’s yours, Elsie?” con
tinued Will, seeing a grave look on his
uncle’s face.
“Oh, I know! it’s— Now Hay me
down to sleep
" That is a very pretty one, Elsie,”
said uncle Henry, checking the boys’
laughter. “Aud what is your motto,
my Pet?”
Quiet, thoughtful Madge, who had
been standing close at his side all tlie
while, answered, “ I don’t know, uncle,
I’m afraid I haven’t any particular one,
but I wish you would give me one, be
fore you go away. Give me yours ; I
am sure it must be a good one, and I
shall like it so much better than if I
chose one for myself.”
Uncle Henry was silent for a moment,
and then, looking around at the little
group, lie asked, “ Wouldn’t you like,
—all of you—to have the motto of the
greatest person who ever lived ; the
most powerful person,—que whogained
the most victories aud performed tlie
most wonderful deeds that were ever
done in the world? Don’t you think
tlie motto of such a person would be
\frorth knowing ?”
Arthur began thinking over all the
great characters his history told about.
“ Well, I don’t see how it could have
been a much better motto tlian Excelsior,
auyhow ! but I’d like to know it!”
“ So would I,” said Will.
Madge’s eyes were fixed on her uncle’s
face. “I think I know ivho it was,”
she said hesitatingly, “but I canuottell
the motto.”
“And who was it, Pet?”
“ Wasn’t it Jesus uncle!”
“Yes, —Jesus, the Prince of Peace,
the mightiest Conquerer, the worker of
the most wonderful deeds that ever'
were done; —yet the kind Saviour and
friend of such poor weak ones as we?”
“ Why, did Jesus have a motto uncle?
“Yes, when he came to earth to bear
all our sins and all iour temptations, to
take upon him our | human nature, —he
guided his whole life by this motto: and
now he has left it to us, —the beautiful
sinless life!”
“Please tell us the motto, uncle: I
can’t think of it.”
“ It is told us by Jesus himself, in
the eighth qhapter of St. John, and
twenty-ninth verse :— 1 1 do always (hose
things that please him. What a beautiful
motto to live by! Tell me, Arthur,
lived there ever a greater being than
the Lord Jesus Christ? were there ever
any works done more wonderous and
mighty than his? and is not his motto
the very best for each of us to take for
our own?”
Arthur was so long in
and seemed to be so busily thinking,
that Madge took her turn. “ But, uncle,
we can't /”
“ Can’t always do just what pleases
God, do you mean? No; we are so
weak and sinful, that we must fail some
times iu keeping any good and noble
motto. The best we can ever do, is to
try ; and is there anything more worth
trying for than this? anything greater
or higher to aim at, than pleasing God?' 1
“ Do you think my motto is wrong,
uncle ?” asked Arthur in a disappointed
tone.
“Oh no; it is both right and noble;
only I fear that you apply it just to
earthly things ; you keep your eye upon
some far ofT point, some position of
worldly honor which you wish to reach,
and so forget to look around you at the
little every-day duties of life, which
God has put there for our notice and
care. For instauce, I saw a boy the
other evening, working over a hard
problem in Algebra, his face all glowing
with eagerness to succeed in what the
other boys had declared they “ never
could do.” But he was so eager, that
when his sick sister, —trying to work
out her littlepuzzle in blocks —said ‘Oh,
Arthur, just please tell me if that one
piece is right,’ he did not lift his eyes
to notice, but only exclaimed, “ ‘ Don’t
talk to me now; I’m too busy
Arthur turned his head, not to meet
the calm grave look on his uncle’s face.
“ Ah, my boy, it would not have low
ered your high mark any, if you had
stopped one minute to help your little
sister! God meant for us to help each
other on our way through life. Look as
high as yqu please; only don’t forget to
look around you, too! Now, Jesus’
motto includes yours : —if you try to do
always what pleases God, —keeping
more perfectly each day his command
ments,—will not that be going higher
and higher? Oh, Arthur, you wish to
make yourself “ a name in the world:”
but it is better and higher far to have
your name written in heaven I —better
to gain God’s smile than to win the
praise of the greatest people in the
world!”
11 J esus’ motto is yours, I know, uncle,”
said Madge, softly.
“And will you make it yours, too,
my pet?—and you. boys? Shall we
not all take Jesus’ motto, and begiii—
with this beautiful springtime, when
everything is opening with fresh new
life—to make our lives new, striving
dally to do what pleases God ?"
Madge said “ yes,” with an earnest,
look in her blue eyes: Will sighed and,
walked from one tree to another: and
Arthur forgot, all through the remain
der Of that day, 1 to compare the easy,
aimless character of Ross with his own
famous purposes.
That evening, opening his Journal to
write the record of that pleasant holi
day, Arthur stopped at the first page,
in the centre of which was written, in
large letters and with many flourishes,
“Excelsior." After thinking a few mo
ments, he took his pen and wrote in a
circle around the word, “ / do always
those things that please Him."
“ Bo that I cannot step over any of the
little things God puts in my way to do,
to reach a point that seems great to my
self,” he said, showingittouncle Henry,
as he bade him good-bye the next morn
ing.
“ And Oh, if Arthur, by watchingand
prayer, keeps that best motto bright,
how higher and higher his life will rise
each day, until at last God will say unto
him, “ Well done, good and faithful
servant, enter thou into the joy of thy
Lord!”

SILVER MINING PROFITABLE.
That the business of Mining and reducing sil*
ver quartz is immensely profitable, is amply
attested by the results whi n kaveaccrued from
the mines of Mexico, Peru, Germany and other
silver bearing countries, and that silver lodes
are remarkably rich, as well »s numerous in
Nevada, we have the testimony of such emi
nent and disinterested meu as Bishop Simpson,
Prof. SillimaD, Prof. James, Hon. Horace
Greeley, Speaker Colfax and Senator Nye, who
personally visited and inspected the mines,
besides hundreds of other individuals who are
now engaged in the business of mining in that
State. Prof. Silliman, whilst in Nevada, deliv
ered a lecture in tlie city of Austin, during
which he said: “We cannot count upon the
time when mining will cease to be profitable
in these hills!”
Bishop Simpson, of the Methodist church, in
a lecture delivered In the City of New York,
after his return from Nevada,said : “Were the
debt of o ir natiou §20,000 000,000, there is wealth
enough there, when our debt is paid off, to give
to every soldier who returns from our battle
fields muskets of silver instead of iron. * •
I do not speak now from idle speculation, but
I speak of that wealth from {observation and ac
tual calculation.
WHAT DIVIDENDS MAY BE EXPECTED.
As to the amount of dividends that may be
reasonably expected from a Silver Mining
Company, operating in Nevada, it may beset
down as ranging from 100 to 1000 per cent, per
annum, according to the progress made in the
mines, and thequantlty of machinery atwork.
Harper's Monthly Magazine for August con
tainea an article on “ Nevada,” which, with
reference to the profits of silver mining, said:
“II the mine be or even average value it can
scarcely fail to return fromten to twenty pen- cent
per month to the investor; and silver mines are
unlike gold mines, lu that they are inexhaust
able, and may be worked forgenerations'when
opened.”
A recent issue of the Philadelphia Evening
Telegraph, speaking on tills subject says: “The
mining statistics of Nevada show us that when
ever worked with proper appliances, and un
der judicious these mines have
paid from 30U to auu per cent, per annum upon
the capital invested.”
WHAT OTHER COMPANIES ARE DOING.
There isnota single company now in opera
tion with their own machinery in Nevada, as
far as we have learned, that is not a complete
success. All are returning not only large, but
enormous Dividends, auu the price of their
shares have correspondli gly advanced. For
instance, on March 2d, the stocks of the older
Companies were quoted in the city papers as
follows: “Gould & Curry, §950; Savage, 8915;
Chollar Potosl, $305; Imperial, $117; Crown
Point, $1,010; Alpha, $200; Yellow Jacket, $130.”
Tee original price of these stocks was less than
£so_ S ome of them only $lO. And the Compa
nies more recently organized are not a whit
le*-s prosperous, but as far progressed give
every promise of an ultimate success evengreat
er than that achieved by the Gould & Curry.—
For example, the stock of the Hale & Norcross
Company of Nevada, which a few months -,.g0
was worth only $4O, is now quoted at $1 1.50. So,
also, the Boston and Reese River Mining Com
fiany, which commenced work only last fall;
ts shares, though originally sold at $lO, soon
went up to SIUS. and on the first of At arch had
advanced to $-00.
THE NATURAL CONCLUSION.
It may therefore be safely asserted ihat no
other enterprise, requiring the association of
capital, offers so many inducements for invest
ments, with so little risk, as Silver Mining. Ev
ery Company that, owns a inine arid will honestly
go to work, MUST BE A success! It cannot possi
bly fail. The only difference betweeu compa
nies a/ work will be in the amounts [ot their
dividends.
THE REVENUE EXTENSION SILVER MIN
ING COMPANY
Are the owners nf NINETEEN (It) valuable
Silver Ledges, amounti -g tu ll.Gou li-.car ieet
(the chief of which is the Keveuue Extension
Lead, one of the richest, ever discovered in that
district,) all oi winch are situated upon the
celebrated Lauder Hill, near Austin Nevada.
The Hopkins' Tunnel, which commences at
the foot of Lander Hill, and will pierce the hill
from side to side, running at right angles with
the Silver Veins, and will cut in its course up
ward of one hundrei and fifty mines (this
number being already located), is also the pro
perty of this Company. Work upon this tun
nel is beiug pushed forward with energy, and
has already reuched upward of three hundred
feet.
The Superintendent telegraphs from Austin,
Nevada, under date of February 22, 1806, as fol
lows :
“At work on Revenue Extension Mine; ore
taken out tO'day assays $457.45 to the ton. Work
on Hopkins’ Tunnel advanced 70 feet since last
dispatch (February 2d).”
And again, under date ofMarch sth, as fol
lows :
“Receipts in bullion $1 900. Tunnel advanced
100 feet. Revenue shaft 20 feet.”
WHAT OTHERS SAY ABOUT IT.
The Philadelphia Commercial List of March 3d
contains a letter from one of its correspond
ents, dated Austin, Nevada, February 5, iB6O,
which says:
" At the lower extremity of the city of Aus
tin—quondam Clifton—where Pony Canon de
bouches into Reese River Valley, a project haa
been commenced, which, if carried out in ac
cordance with the plan of those who conceived
the soherae, will prove one of the most mag
nificent works ot the day, and which cannot
mil to handsome y reward those who push it
to completion. I allude to the Hopkins’ Tun
nel. The Revenue Extension Mining Compa
ny, owning this tunnel, have a series of ledges
lying parallel with each other, located upon
the bill, at thefootof which this work com
mences, and will cut at nearly a right angle
each lode with which It comes In contact
throughout its entire length, and they can be
numbered by the score—the hill being liter
ally seamed with them. As this great work
progresses, vein after vein of the rock bearing
the precious metal will be crossed, at a depth
sufficient to render Ihelr working profitable
each in succession being at a greater deptli
from the surface than the preceding one, ow
ing to the rising 01 the hillln whioh they arfe
located. Upon these veins, after they are
crossed, workmen can be engaged In extract
ing the ores upon either side of the tunnel,
without 1 n any manner hindering Us progress ’'
THE SUCCESS OF THE COMPAQ Y CERTAIN.
It is thus apparent that the Revenue Exten
sion Silver Mining Company have progressed
so far in their operations that success is not
only certain, but actually at the door. Be
fore the close of the coming summer—perhaps
by the middle—it will be ranked amongst the
DIVIDEND-PAYING companies, and its stock
Will, in all probability, advance to $26, $6O, or
perhaps even $lOO per sharp. Therefore, now is
Vie time to invest. Only a email portion of the
working capital yet remains unsold, und the
plreotors are anxious tnat It should be dis
posed of Immediately, in order that there may
be no delay In the proseoution of the work in

PILLS AND SALVE
These Life-giving remedies are now, for the
first time, given publicly to the world. For
over a quarter of a century of private practice
the ingredients in these
LIFE-GIVING PILLS!
have been used with the greatest success.
Their mission is not only to prevent disease,
but to cure. They search out toe various mala
dies by which the patient is suffering, and re
invigorates the tailing system. To the aged
and Infirm a few doses of theso valuable Pills
will prove to be
A VERY FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH,
for in every case tht'y add new life aud vitality
and restore the waning energies to their pris
tine state. To the young and middle-aged,
they will prove most invaluable, as a ready,
specific, aud sterling medicine. Here is a
dream realized, that Ponoe-de-Leon sought for
three hundred years ago, and never found. He

Gentlemenl have receutiy been labornlg

companied by a prostration of the nervous sys

by triads, and some of them tested, but with
out relief. Your Hootland’s (ionium Bitters
were recommended by persons who hud tried
them, and whosn favorable mention of these
Bitters induced me to try them. I must con
fess that I nad an aversion Lo Patent Medicines
from tiie "thousand and one" quack "Bit

sweetened and drugged.liquor upon tha com
munity In a. sly way, and the tendency of
which, I fear. Is to make many a confirmed
drunkard. Up° u learning that yours wjus
really a medicinal preparation I took it with
happy effect. Its action, not only upon Lhu
stomach, but upon the nervous system, was
prompt and gratifying. I feel that I have de

Christian Chronicle, Philadelphia
Although not disposed to favor or recom
mend Patent Medicines In general, through
distrust of their ingredients and ellects, I yet
know of no sufficient reasons why a man may
not testify to the benefits he believes himself to
have received from any simple preparation. In
the hope that he may thus c-.utrfbuto to the
benefit of others.
I do this the more readily in regard to Hoof
land’s German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M.
Jackson, ot tbis city, because 1 was prejudiced
agatnst them for many years, under the im
pression that they were chiefly an alcoholic
mixture. I am Indebted to my frleud. Robert
Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this preju
dice by proper tests and for encouragement i o
try them when sulTerlng from great and long
continued debility. The use of three bottles of
these Bitters at the beginning of the present
year, was followed by evident reliefauu restor
ation to a degree of bodily and mental vigor
which I had not felt for six months before, and
had almost despaired of regaining. 1 therefore
thank God and my frlemldlrectlng me to the
use of them. J. NEWTON BROWN,
