A COMMON STORY.
DT THE AGRTIOII or ".TGIEN 'Litmus, GENT."
She loves With love that cannot tire;
And it ah woo t she loves alone,
Through passlorate duty love flames higher,
As grass grows taller round a atone.
Coven - Tar PATMORE.
So, the truth's out. 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.
He will think sometimes with regretful sigh,
•
The other woman was less true than
HOW I MADE MY £01119319E
Three of us wergsitting in a small room, and com
plaining of the hardships of our destiny,
" Without money one can do nottil," ;said
Geore.,, " Were I to hit upon astation that
would hare done honor to a Rotbseld coming from
a pauper like myself, no one would k It *nth
attending to."
" 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. With you, sir, the case la different;
co I crone to ask If you will let me have IL for seven , '
ty-five thousand francs."
Ffteen thousand francs dropping all at once Into
the lap of a ppoooor fellow who had to work bard to
bof eight red Imes in a yeari hardly
elieve my ears.
•I cannot give you an answer just now, sir," I'
said, " but if you will take the trouble to call again
at five, I'll see what I can do." . 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. Yon say you want the house; any other will
suit =equally= well, f Renate to your terms."
" You shall have a draft on Paris ft/utile amount
to a fortnight," replied Mr. - Fell; VIP :bowed and
withdrew, appareattly.,Mtehnted With toy rrax or
doing bestows.
MONTROSE, SUSQ. 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

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

"And I also," said Mr. Fellz, "though it cost

"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—

. . . .
"'I am afraid I am, pa,' he mildly answered,
clinging to my arm for support.
"Where?" I asked In great alarm. for notwith

" 'Here,' he replied, laying his hand upon his hip.
"In silence 1 took him in My arms and carriid

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,

supposed that you needed the lesson II contain. It

my brutal rashness to my boy. But, fortunately, it

ished by me except when I was In the foil posses

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

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.

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

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.

AMNION OF A HOWL
We find the bellowing In the N. Y. Jo urnalqf Com
Many instances have been given by travelers of the
affection shown by the Arabian horses toward their

that they most be endowed with en instinct which
approaches nearly, if not quite, to the reasoning fac

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

In the lecture room. near his Bunt affmeng a

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.)
It was a touching proof of the great affection
which Lord Chancellor Eldon No to the memory
of his wife, when he enjoined 121 hie will that her
wedding-ring should be deposited In his awn corn.
We will close what we have to say on this subject
by mentioning that poetical wills were formerly
quite common in England.
