Pll grasp it Uke a snake ; It will not slay me. My heart shall not bleak Awhile, if only for the children's sake. For his too, somewhat. Let him stand nnblamed; None say he gave me less than honor claimed, Except—one trifle scarcely worth being named; The heart. That's gone. The corrupt dead might be As easily raised up, breathing—fair to see, As he could bring his whole heart back to me. I never sought him in coquettish sport, Or courted - him as silly maidens court, And wonder when the longed for prize tails short. I only loved him—any woman would; But shut my love up till ho came and sued Then poured it o'er his dry life like a flood. I was so happy I could make him blest! So happy that I was his first and best, As he mine, when he tobk me to his breast. Ah me! if only then he had been true! II for one little year, a month or two, - He had given me love for love, as was my due ! Or, had he told me me the deed was done, He only raked me to his heart's dear throne— Poor substitute! because the queen was gone! Or, had he whispered when his sweetest kiss Was warm upon my mouth In fanefed bliss, He had kissed another woman like to this,— It were less bitter I 'Sometimes I could weep To ho so cheated, likes child asleep— Were not the anguish tar too dry and deep. So I built my house upon another's ground; Bleared with a heart just caught at the rebound ; A cankered thing that looked so firm and sound. And when that heart grew colder—colder still, I, ignorant, tried all deities to fulfill, Blalmiug my foolish pain, exacting will, All—anything but him. It was to be; The full draught others drink up carelessly Was made this bitter Tantalus-cup for me. I say again—be gives rue all I claimed, I and my children never Shall be shinned; He is a just man—he will live unblamed. Only-0 God-0 God, to cry for bread, And get a stone! Daily to lay my head Upon a bosom where the old loves deed I Dead? Fool! It never lived. It only stirred Galvanic, like an hour-cold corpse. None heard; So let me bury it without a word. He'll keep that other woman from my sight, I know not if her face be foul or bright ; I only know that it was hifidelight— As his was mine: I Only know he stands Pale, at the touch of these long-severed bands, Then to a flickering smile his lips commands, Lest I should grieve, or jealous anger show. He need not. When the ship's gone down, I trove, We little reckwhatever wind may blow. And so my silent- MOM begins and ends. No world's laugh or world's tennt,no pity of friends, Or sneers of toes, with this my torment blends. None knows—none needs. I have a little pndc ; Enough to stand up, wifn-like by his side With the same smile as when I was a bride. And I shall take his chlldron to my aunt: They will not miss these fading, worthless charms; Their kiss—sh 1 unlike his—all pain disarms. And haply, as the solemn years go by.

" I," said AlbPrt, "have actually finished a Work which would establish my reputation as en author, 111 could only find a bookseller to buy It." "I have petitioned my employer for an increase of salary," I exclaimed, anx i ous to contribute to the chorus of lamentation, "and he told me that for forty lords a year lit could get more clerks than he wanted." 1 1. - i would not so much-matter;" said George thoughtfully, "if besides being poor, we did not seem pour. Could one of us only be tholight rich— " What Is the we of the shadow without the sub stance?" I asked. "Of every use," said Albert. "I agree With George—the shadow sometimes makes the sub stance. The next best thinp to capital . Is credit" " Especially," returned George, the Credit of haring a good fortune. Bare none of us a rich uncle in ?" In A dia " cousin of mine went to Janiaca or Martinique, I forget which," I said innocently, "and he never came back." . " Capital ! that Is aft one requires," grobilmed George_ "We will erode= up this cousin of yours —or could we not kill him ? Yea. James Meran, of Martinique, deceased, leaving a sugar plantation, a hundred negroes, and a fortune of a hundred thousand louts to his well-beloved cousin, Louis Moran." We laughed at the joke and I thought no more of it; but George and Albert—slightly excited by the fumes of a bowl of punch whiehl had sent for to do honor to the testator—lost no time In concocting , and afterwards publishing a fall account in a lobal newspaper of the fortune thathad been left me. The next day several friends dropped in to cake pllment me. Of course I endeavored to undeceive them, but they would not take a denial. In ' vain I assured them it was a hoax. It was no use. Several remembered my cousin James very well, an had seen him at Nantes before he embarked in 17W Among others came my tailor, to whom I owed a small sum which it was not quite convenient for Ina topay at that moment. I wish ed my two friends at a place that shall be name less. "Good morning Mr. Mayer. I suppose, you came for those fifty francs?" "I hope, sir, von don't think I came for such a trifle as that. 170, sir, I came to tate your orders for a snit of mourning." "A nit of mourning?" "Yes, sir, cumin's mourning. Dark bronze frock for morning wear, black troweera and waistcoat.' " At the present moment, Mr. Mayer—!' "I hope, sir, I have done nothing to forfeit your patronage I" " But I repeat that I have received no money at all." " I hope, sir, you won't mention suer a thing; there Is no so of hurry," exclaimed the tailor, who busily employed himself in taking my measure from slips of paper. After all my wardrobe, did want some, - additions, and t said nothing more. . " My dear sir , "said my next visitor, " / hare a great favor to request of you. Buy my house. You are very rich; yon must be on the I.ook-oot for safe and profitable investment*. Sixty thousand franca are nothing for you—a mere fraction of your Income. With me thecase is different. I thought Mr. Felix bud made np his mind to purchase the premises, and now I hear he has changed his intention. What' is to become of me ? ! I have heavy demads to meet, and I don't know where the money Is to come from" "Buy your house? Why It would beinadneas to think of such a thing." " Madness? No such thing. You could not find a better Investment anywhere. In two years, With trifling repairs, it will be worth double its present value; you will never see such a good opportunity Say ` done,' and rip off." And he was off withoolt leaving me time to put In a word. Two hours after in milted - Mr. /Viz, evidently not In the best of temper. "Really sir," he began, "you have taken me quite by surprise. That house is Indispensable to me • I reckoned on It a 4 If it were mine, and only of ferAl fifty thousand cranes because the owner is cub , harrassM, and I' felt sure that he would be obiged to take them.

I ' Ate quarter to five Mr. Fella made tds appearances.. I !peke to him with candor. • " I _should tell you; sir, that I bad no thoughtsof buying the house till the owner prevailed on sue to do so.

CO., PA., TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 1865. A draft upon Paris I The circumstance appeared so unusual to ins that I thought I ought to send It to Paris and get it cashed. I wrote accordingly to Messrs. Flanges & Bergeret, the only firm I Imew there. I was in the habit of receiving through them the interest of a small sum that had been left me by an uncle.. - I Informed them that, having funds at my disposal, I wished for information as to the beat mode of investing them. The significance of the word "funds" varies very much according to the name and position in file of the speaker. The rumor of my legacy had reached Paris, so that when 1 spoke of funds, it was evident I meant a considera ble sum. This was proved by the following letter: "Sir—We are In receipt of your esteemed favor of the 17th current, which reached us Just after the conclusion of the last loan negotiated by the Cortex, in winch our firm has an interest. Desirous that our friends should have an opportunity of partici pating in an Investment which we consider profita ble, we have taken the liberty of placing twenty thousand plasters to your credit. Should that amount appear too considerable, the rise of these securities admits of your selling out at premium. " We remain, sir, " Yours to command, " FLANGES & CO." To this was added a postscript written by the head of the firm: "We have beard with pleasure the recent good fortune that has fallen to the Int of our old triend and correspondent, and beg to offer him our ser vices, as occasion may require." Twenty thousand plasters! I let the letter fall In sheer amazement. What would have been my as tonishment, if, more conversant with the terms of commerce, and more attentive to the enelosed ac count current, I had Been that what I took for the principal, was only the yearly Interest? I lost no time in writing to my correspondents, to Inform them that the sum was much too large. " I have re ceived no money" I said " from Martinique, and It would be Impossible for me to meet my engage ments." An answer came by return poet: " We learn with regret, that you have misgivings with regard to the ,Spanish loan. According to your orders, we have sold out half the stock assigned to you, which brings you in already a net profit of -eighty thousand tomes. With regard to your pro perty at Martinique, we are too well acquainted with delays which bequests at such a distance must necessarily involve, to think for a moment that you can be immediately pat in possession of your in heritance, but your simple signature will suffice to procure you all the money you may require in the mean time. We take the liberty of reminding you of the advantage of making timely investments, lest, when the legal erragements are ended, you should find difficulty in getting good interest for so large a capital. Roping you may have a better opinion of German securities than you do of Spanish, we hand you a prospectus for establishing a bank at Groningen. You will please to observe, sir, that no deposit is required and, as calla are only made at long intervals, it will be easy for you to sell your shares, should you change your mind, wit hoot your having occasion to make any payment. We have placed fifty sham to your credit, and have honor to remain, ' &e. Eighty thousand francs! The amount was a per fect mystery to me; no doubt the clerk hod made some mistake In the figures 3ty position was be coming etnbarraaling. Congratulations poured iu from all „quarters, especially when I Made my al.- cm . nrice in black from head to foot. The Journal Goubmonees thettght it right to publish a bio graphical sketch of my cousin, and the editor wrote to me asking further particulars. Ladies connected with 01l sorts of societies, be=ed that my name might be added to their list of subscribers, and the money I had to pay for postage was something, alarming. To escape from this avalanche of inquiries I hastily departed for Paris. Directly after I got there I called upon my bankers, and was received as heirs to a Large, property generally are. "Sorry that you have such a poor opinion of the Spanish stock," said Monsieur Bergeret; "there has been a great rise, however, we only sold out half your.parceL" " Would yon have the nix:princes to let me know what the present value of the remainder might be ?" I replied. "Certainly, sir, ten thousand piastres stock, at seventy (the piastre being at five francs thirty-five centimes), the sum already paid being—if you sell out to-day you will, with tho proceeds of last sale, have from two hundred and ten thousand to two hundred and twenty-four thousand francs." " Very well. Yon said something about a Geo man hank, I think ?" "Yea; the Government made some difficulty about granting a charter; but It is all settled now, and the promised sharta have risen considerably." " Can I sell out?" "Certainly; you have fifty at four hundred and fifty florins profit; that will bring you In about sixty thousand francs." "'Without any calls to pay?" IMII "None whatever. "That seems strange; but yon ere, no doubt, well Informed. I should like to find a secure investment for those sums; would you have the goodness to tell me what would be the best?" "yon cannot have anything better than our own five per cent. I know of nothing more secure; at the present price of that 'stock, you get six p'r cent. for your money. I can easily und , rstand that you should be worried by such trilling details as these; you will soon have more considerable sums to look after. " Them if I invest the combined produce of the German and Spanish docks In the five per cent., what should I get a year?" "Let me ace. Three hundred thousand francs— funds at eighty--eighteen—twenty—yes, twenty thousand francs a year." "Ah l twenty thousand francs a year ! and when can the investment be made?" "To-morrow morning; that is, if you allow our firm to conduct the transaction." " Certainly ; whom could my confidence be better placed?" The banker made a polife bow. "And now," I continued, "I should feel obliged if you would have the goodness to advance me a few louts, as I am rather abort of cash." " My dear sir, all the cash I possess is at your ser vice. How much do you want—two hundred—four hundred ?" " Thank you, fifty will be quite sufficient" "May I hope " added the banker, when I rose to take leave, " that our firm may be favored with the continuance of your patronage?" " Certainly." I replied. There are few momenta of my life on which I look back with more satisfaction than on those occupied I in the interview with M. Bergeret I doubt If I should have believed in the. twenty thousand francs a year, if it had not been for the fifty Napoleons. In the mean time my two friends were shocked nt the success of their story, and were not a little alarmed at my sudden journey to Paris; which was attributed by others to legal business. George and Albert then began to fear that I really believed in the authenticity of the invention they had con cocted. Three days after my return they came to see me with long faces. "My dear Louis," said George, "you know your cousin is not dead?" " I cannot be sure of that," I replied. " for I ant by no means convinced of Ids existence." " Well; you know that this inheritance is only a hoax?" "To tell you the truth, I think we are the only people that are of that opinion." "We have been very wrong to originate such an invention; for which WO are sincerely sorry." "On the contrary,. I am very much obliged to you." "Bat it is our duty to contradict it; and confers how foolish we have beett. Truth cannot long remain concealed. People be gan to wonder that, no news came from Martinique; the wise anti prudent shook their heatia ominously when my name Was mentioned. "The most ll:derma feature in the case is," said one, "that he has ended in believing in the truth of his own invention. For milimrt, meat say that I - was always rather skeptical about that inheri tance." "And I also," said Mr. Fellz, "though it cost me fifteen thousand francs." On sexing a dozen letters on my table one morn ing, I guessed that the bubble bad burst Their contents were much alike; for instance: "Mr. Mayrr's respects to Mr. Memo, and having very heavy payments to meet, will fuel obligsaft by a cheque for the amount of the exelosed." My replies dismissed 'al 'doubts of my perfect solvency. " Mr. Meran thanks Mr. Mayer for having at last sent in his amount, and encloses a cheque for the amount." My cool and maconcerneddeniesnor kept curiosity alive fora few days longer. " What a lucky fellow I" said one. . "Lacivluts nothing to do with it," rejoined anoth .er • "he has played his cards well, and tam won." Once or twice, I confess, I felt compunction of conscience; but a moment's reflection convinced me that thy °Wu 'exertions bad no shore in my good fortune, and that 1 owed it nit to a universal public Worship of the ti olden Calt,•and the truth of Albert's =Mtn "the next best thing to capital is credit." pg , '" If youirumn to marry for money, be cautious.

"What do yno mean by Such carelesanese Y" ex claimed John Doran to hls Bon William, a line lad of twelve years. ..Take that!" ho added, atriklng the boy a heavy blow on the ride of the head, "and that, and that!" repeating th o blows as ho spoke, the last of which knocked the boy over a plow that was standing by his side. "Get np now and go into the house,' continued the father, "and see If you can't keep out of mischief for a while, and atop that crying, or I'll give you something to cry for." The boy started for the house, struggling to sup- press his aoba as he went. "It Is astonishing," sold Doran, addressing a neighbor named George Hanford, who was standing near by, and of course had seen and heard what had passed, "how troublesome boys are. Just ace these oats now that Pee got to pick up from that boy's carelessness," and he pointed to a measure of oats which William had accidently overturned. "And it was for that trifle that you assaulted your child and knocked him down!" replied Danford In a sorrowful tone. Duran looked up from the oats In anrprlae and ro panted : "Assaulted my child and knocked him down ! Why, what do you mean, neighbor Hanford?" "Just what I said. Did yon not knock the child over that plow ?" "Why—well no. Ho kind of stumbled and nil over it," doggedly replied Doran. "Do you go against parental authority ? Haven't I a right to punish my own children?' "Certainly, you have," responded Mr. Hanford, "in a proper manner and in a proper spirit, bat not otherwise, Do you think that a father haa.o right to revenge himself upon his child P" "Of course not ; but who was talking about re velVel.l", friend Doran, let me ask yon another ques• non For what should a child be punished ?" "Why, to make it better, and do It good, of course," quickly answered Doran. "For auy other purposes?" quietly asked Mr. Hanford. "Well, no, not that I can think of Just ndw," re plied Doran thoughtfully. "And now, my friend, - kindly continued Mr Hanford, "do you suppose that your treatment to your son a few moments ago did him any good, or has mad e him any bettor, or has increased his re speet and affection for your The boy, I venture to say. is utterly unconscious of having done any wrong, and yet you suddenly assaulted him with an ger and violence, and gave him a beating which no penitentiary convict can be subject to without hav ing the outrage inquired into by a legislative com mittee. But let me tell you a story. You know my son Charles ?" "The one that is preaching In Charlestown?" "Yes." "You have probably noticed that he I.l.lame ?" "I have noticed it.," said Doran, "and once asked him how it happened, and he told me he got hurt when a boy." "Yes," responded Mr. Hanford, with emotion, 'the dear boy never comd be made to say that it was occasioned by his father's brutality. Bat list en," ho continued, as he saw that Doran was about to speak. "Mien Charles was Mat about the age of your son William, he was one of the most active and in telligent boys I had ever seen. I was fond of him, and especially proud of his physical beauty and prowess. But unfortunately, I was cursed with an irritable and violent temper, and wan In the habit of punishing my children under the impulse of passion and vengeance, instead of from the dictates of rea son, duty and enlightened affection. ..One day Charley offended me by some boyish and trifling misdemeanor and I treated him almost exactly as you treated your son only a Cow minute's ago. I struck him violently, and he fell upon a pile of atones by his side, and Injured his hip so badly the result was—he was crippled for said Mr. Hanford in tones of deepest sorrow and remorse, and covering his face with hid bands. A period of oppressive silence followed, which was at last broken by Mr. lianlord's saying "When I found that niy , poor boldid not rise from the stones on which ho had fallen, I seized him by the arm and radely pulled him to bia feet, and was about to strike him again, when something that I saw in his face—his look--arrested my enn— ead I asked if ho was hurt. . . . . "'I am afraid I am, pa,' he mildly answered, clinging to my arm for support. "Where?" I asked In great alarm. for notwith standing my brutality I fairly Idolized the boy." " 'Here,' he replied, laying his hand upon his hip. "In silence 1 took him in My arms and carriid him to his bed, from which he never rose the same bright, active, glorious hoy that I had so cruelly struck down upon that pile of stones. But after many months he came forth a vale, saddened little fellow, hobbling on a crutch— Hero Mr. Hanford broke down, and wept like a child, and the tears also rolled down - Dloran's cheeks. When he resumed Mr. Hanford said : "This is a humiliating narrative, neighbor Doom, and I would not have related It to you, had I riot supposed that you needed the lesson II contain. It is impossible for me to give you any adequate no. tion of the suffering l.have undergone on account of my brutal rashness to my boy. But, fortunately, it has been overruled to my good, and to that of my family also. The remedy, thotigh terrible,was com plete, and no oilier child of mine has ever been pun ished by me except when I was In the foil posses sion and exercise of my best faculties, and when my sense of duty has been chastened and softened by reason and affection. "I devoted myself to my poor Charley, from the time he left his bed, and we came to muleratand each other as I think but few fathers and sons ever do. The poor boy never blamed me for blighting so much happiness for him, and I have sometimes tried to think that perhaps his life has been happier in the whole, than it would have been had I not been taught my duty through his sacrifice. Still, neighbor Damn, _I alionid be sorry to have you arid your son William pass through a similar ordeal." "I trust that we shall not," emphatically and gravely responded Doran. "I thank you for'your story, friend Hanford, and I shall try to profit by it,, And he did profit by it. And we how that every parent who is capable of striking hia chlki in anger and patialanre, that reads tills sketch from life, will profit by It also. MB.

A NORWEGIAN HOME Tho houses in which these country people reside are not altogether unlike the small log cabins of the earlier settlers of our western frontier. I have seen many such on the borders of Missouri and Kansas. Built in the most primitive style, of pine logs, they stand upon stumps or columns of stone, elevated some two or three feet from the ground, in order to allow a draft of air underneath, which in this humid climate is considered necessary for health. They seldom consist of more than two or three rooms, but make up in number what they lack in size. Thus a single farming establishment often comprises some ten or a dozen little. cabins, besides the Urge barn, which is the nucleus around which all center ; with small cribs for pigs, etc., and here and there a shed furrows and sheep, all huddled together among the rocks or open hill side, without the least appn rent regard to direction or architectural effect. The roofs are covered with sods, upon which it is not uncommon to see patches of oats, weeds, moss flow ers and whatever come most; convenient to form roots, and give consistency and strength to this sin gular overtopping. The object, I suppose, Is to prevent the transmission of brat during the severe season of winter. . . Approaching some of these hamlets or farming establishments during the summer months, the trav eler Is frequently at a loss to distinguish their green sodded roofs from the natural sods of the bill side, no that one Is liable at any time to plunge into the midst of a settlement before he Is aware of its ex. Istence. Something of a damp earthy look Is about them, the weedy or grass covered tops, the logs green and moss-grown, the dripping eaves, the veins of water oozing out of the rocks, give them a pe culiarly northern and chilling effect, and fill the mind with visions of long and dreary winters, rheu matism, colds, coughs, and conaumption, to which it Is said these people are subject. Nothing so wild and primitive is to be seen in any other part of the day as when the inhabitants are out on the bills at tending their flocks or cultivating the small patches of ground. I passed many groups of cabins without seeing the first sign of life, save now and then a few chickens or pigs rooting about the barn-yard. The constant Impression was that it was Sunday, or at least a holiday, and that the people were either at church or asleep. For one who seeks retirement from the Duey haunts of life where he can indulge in uninterrupted reflection, I know of no country that can equal Norway. There are places in the in terior where I am sere he would be astonished at the sound .1 his own voice. The deserts of Africa can scarcely present a scene of such utter desolation. —Harper's Haat/fly. A RAILROAD Romasas. A young Lieutenant had apparently succeeded in making himself exceedingly agreeable to a married lady accompanied by her little girl By and by the train approached the tunnel at Muldrough Mil— ne gay and festive Lieutenant leaned over and whispered in the Lady's ear. It was noticed that she appeared as thrinderatmck and her eyes imme diately alter flamed with Indignation. A moment more and a smile lighted up her features. What changes 1 That smile, it was not of pleasure, it was sinister. It was unperceived by the Lieutenant.— She wide him a reply which rejoiced him apparent ly very much. For the understanding properly of the narrative—this o'er true tale—we must tell the reader what was whispered and what was replied : "I mean to kiss you when wo get into the tun nel !" whispered the Lieutenant. "It will be dark—who will see it ?" replied the dy la. Into the tunnel ran the cars. Lady and colored nurse quietly exchange seats. nay Lieutenant threw his arms around the lady sable, pressed her cheek to his, and fast and furious rained kisses on her lips. In a few moments the train came Into broad daylight ; white lady looked amazed, colored lady beshfel, blushing • gay Lieutenant befogged.— "Jami," said the white lady, "what have you been doing ?" "Nothing!" responded colored lady. "Yee you have," said the white lady, not in en undertone, but la avo ice that attracted the lam- Bon of all in the car, "see how your collar Is rum pled, and your bonnet mashed." Jane, poor colored beauty, hung her head a mo ment, the "observed of all observers," and then turning round to the Lieutenant, replied: "This man bugged and kissed me in the tunnel!" Lound and long was the laugh that followed among the passers era The white lady enjoyed the joke amazingly. Lieutenant looked like n sheep-stealing dog, left the car and was seen no more during the trip.—Fashaßle Union. LITZ Gov. BI2OIIGIL—Tbe Hon John Brough.

" Sin Eurron :—We were much pleased with the article of your Susquehanna correspondent with the above heading, and are looking for more on the subject, from the same source. In the meantime we offer a few thoughts : Isl. I! is unnatural. None of the animals that we are aware of eat tobacco, and but row of the insect , " or even worms, feed upon it. The human stomach at first always revolts at it, and it seems like abusing nature to force It to yield to that which Is so utterly repugnant. 2nd. /2 fs injurious. In this, many of our most eminent Physicians will agree, regarding it as a slow poison. By excessively exciting the saliva glands, it weakens and often red nen the system; and we have heard of the exit of more than one of whom it was said he smoked himself to death. We will ven ture also to say hero that we believe that many of the accidental fires which occur in our country, are caused by matches carried by careless men and boys to light their pipes. lid. 1! is a very difficult habit to conquer. Many who use tobacco allow that it is a poor practice— that they use more than they need, but still tell us that it is next to impossible to leave It off. A neigh bor told me lately that ho would give a hundred dollars to be well rid of the practice. Another said he would not be so addicted to the use of ardent epts, as he Is to his baeco, for good farm ; and that it is of little or no n use to try to relinquish the habit; for with those who make the attempt It is usually " resolve, and re-resolve, then die the same." 4th. .22 is an apervisse hoblt. Wo are not in posses sion of full statistics showing the amount of tobacco raised, or its expense ; batpartial returns from offi cial sources show that It is enormous. Many pray "Thy kingdom come," but pay more fox their to bacco than for their preacher ; and it is confidently believed that more money is spent for tobacco than for all the purposes of the gospel. biA. 12 is offensive to others. What is thi use of Posting, "Gentlemen are requested not to smoke here," "Smoking la prohibited,". If none are an noyed by it? The truth is, the eater' it of the offense it gives Is greater than those who smoke are aware of. We dare say there arnmany who, if they could only know the dislike that others have for tobacco smoke, would desist from their practice when in company. But them are others who tell us it Is a free country—that if they choose to smoke or chew, it is their privilege. Now:we like the Idea of a tree country. We are for a free country with all our heart—free speech—a free press—pure water to drink, and an uncontaminated atmosphere to breathe. Auburn. J. B. AMNION OF A HOWL We find the bellowing In the N.

Jo urnalqf Com Many instances have been given by travelers of the affection shown by the Arabian horses toward their masters; and so much, also, has been written to prove their aagacity,as to make one believe, at times, that they most be endowed with en instinct which approaches nearly, if not quite, to the reasoning fac ulty of a human being. hbwever, as it may, we very much doubt it among the feats narrated of the horses of the East, anY can be found that exceeds In affectionate dem ticin the following incident, which wastold us a few days Islam at Saratoga, by the soldier to whom it oc curred.

M :9)4l:l4:tez(itll4lipargeitir: The practice of making wills is one which has do• seended to us from the remotest ageti of the 'World Amongst the Jews the descent of propertywla con trolled by fixed laws, but It was, nevertheless, the custom of the head of the family, on his death-bed. to express his wishes In the presence of witnesses and of hie helm. The practlee.was also universally observed by the Greeks and Romans, and other co temporary nations. Solon introduced written wills Into Athens, and the same were required by the Err man law. To Mohamedans they arewjelned by the Koran. They were in use among the barbarians of the North at a very early period • and It Is certain time the Mexicans observed the crisron prior to their subjugution by the Spaniards. Wills made by the British kings are recorded as far back as the time of Edward the Confessor. The laws relating to wills vary in different countries. A writer on the subject thus defines the Law in England and the tinned States: By the English law the testator must he over Si years of age, and neither a lunatic norand Idiot, nor deaf nor dumb, nor drunk at the time of , nor an outlaw nor an unpardoned felon. AB wills must be in writing except those of soldiers in actu al service, and mariners atisea—which may be nuneu pative or oral. All kinds of property maybe do vised, and the will must be s i gned by the testator, or by his direction, in the presence of two or more witnesses, who also must sign in his presence, and in the presence of each other. A woman cannot be en attesting witness; all devises and gifts by will to a wltneed are void ; and a will is revoked by the marriage of the testator. A married woman can only bequeath her pin money or separate mainte nance, without the consent of her husband; and an office has been opened for the reception and safe keeping of the wills of living persons. " The common law, as well as the brezino of tho English statutes , are variously modified falba dif ferent States of America. A married woman cannot by common law make any will whatever—a remnant of the feudal system which merged the rights and almost the existence of the wife in that of the hus band. But this rule has of late years received much modification in England, and much more in many of our States. In several, her common law disability remains unchanged ; in most, it is dimin ished, by permitting her to exert some power ofdia position over her property ; in many th e assent of the husband is necessary to the validity of her will; while in Illinois and Connecticut it would seem as if the rule of the Roman civil law were adopted and a married woman had the EMU power of malb: as If willshe were a femme sole. The laws of inns, copied from the French code, prohibit a par ent from disinheriting his children, but in all the other States he has the power to do so." We may add that the laws of Maryland, which so= cure to a wife her separate property If she so de sire, as a matter of course, allow her to will It as she may think beat, and without will it descends to her children, If she have any. Some curious and interesting wills are to be found In the records of th e past. The Countess of North ampton left to the Friar's Church, "a cross made of the very wood of our Saviour's cross," and the Earl of Huntington directed that his heart should be pre served in spices. Dame Alice Wyche, widow of the Lord Mayor of London, act an example el sensible charity. She bequeathed " .41310 to poor diligent laborers In poor villages; to RIO poor householders a cow, and 13 shillings and 4 pence each, with 3 ewes ; and for the myna= of veer maidens of good conversation, £loo.' Michael Angelo, the great painter, made his will in these words .• " My sold I resign to Ged ; my body to the earth ; and my world ly possessions to my nearest relations." Pope directed that his body should be canted to the grave by the six poorest men in the parish, each of whom should receive a snit of COl , llO gray cloth ing. Dees Swift gave the most of his property to endow a lunatic asylum in Dublin, and. Dr. John son the bulk of his to his negro servant, FroncisHar ber. Washington's will was signed at the bottom of each page and was prepared with thatserumalona care and ,eciactitude which distinguished every act of his life. The will of Napoleon has always been; re garded as a stigma on his character. He bequeath edtee thousand 'franca to the man who Ina sus pected of a design to rmssinate the Duke of Well ington. He expressed the opinion that "he had as much right to assassinate that oligarch as the litter had to send me to perish on the Island Of Bt. Hele na." The learned Dr. John Collins Warren of Hoe. ton made a will (18543) directing that, " After the funeral solemnities, In the ftill and proper form of the Episcopal Church, that his body be removed to the Medical College for dissection; his skeleton to be preserved, whitened, and placed In the lecture room. near his Bunt affmeng a lesson intern] to morality and scienc e;' earnestly hoping that his family would lay aside. any feeling of opposition to this, his last request, con sidering that It was for the interest of humand for his and their honor! , (His wishes were bdtMul ly carried out.)
