TWO WAYS - OP, DOING A. TILING
We were passing leisurely along one of our
streets the other eveling, watching the sports
of a group of youngsters, when our ears were
assailed by the sharp, angry voico of a woman.
" Here, you, Jah■ Smith! come into the
house this moment !" -
Ono of tho boys turned hie head, giving a
the same time a ratheiunfilial shrug', then re
slimed his play.
"Do you hear what I say, John Smith?
➢larch qaick, or you'll catch it, I. tell you!"
We rather 'guess Jenny did "catch it," for
we heard after Wok had passed, a jerk and a
slap, accompanied with a smothered yell, as
the door was violently slammed to.
.We went•on our way, doubting whether this
course of treatment was exactly thebest under
the circumstances, particularly as the counte
nance of the lad indicated the greatest good
nature. •
As we were cogitating the matter, we turned
the corner and came upon another group of
lads in front of a house, the d?or of which et
that moment opened.
" Willie," said a mild and pleasant voice.
"Bid you call, mother ?" asked one of the
boys, coming on to the sidewalk.
" Yes, my sod. It is getting late—have you
not played suflisiently to-day ?"
" I should like to stay out a little longer if
you please."
The mother patted the boy on the head, and
smilingly said : "I should not object if it were
not past your bed time. have you forgotten,
the lines you repeated to mo this mor
ning?"
chimed the bay quiokly. I "Yes, mother, I re
member them. Good night, Tommy—good

MAKING OUR WILLS.
Some time ago I had occasion to go to Doc
tors' Commons to look at the will of. a deadl
man. The hand that signed it was in the grave
long befoie=dust, perhaim; l l3ut the record of
the will which animated that, hand was there
among those dusty folios, engrossed in an al
most undecipherable hand, which toll how all
the real property in the country has been die- 1
posed of over and over again. I had no CIE-.
culty in finding it, for I had a note of 'the pre
cise day the deceased died on. It is not no•
emery to say anything about .the contotite of
that will, hciwever, for they have no relation to
what L m writing. It is only the date which
I have any business with. This will was-dated
the day before the man died. I had, of course,
often heard of men making their wills when
they-were just at death's door, without any par
ticular thought being excited ; but this time I
woe surprised, as a single fact very often - does
surprise us, when we have passed by a host of
similar once unnoticed. q I know the man who
bad made that, will. He was a shrewd, pru
dent, sharp lawyer, who had risen from noth
ing to be a man of immense wealth. If he
was distinguished for any qualities in portion
lar,-it-was for punctuality and-promptitude.—
None of the clerks of his office were ever five
minutes late. That was an offence not to be
forgiven. No ono over knew him to be behind
at an appointment, or to lot business go un
done. His housekeeper, who managed: his
bachelor house for many years, only kept he'r
place by being exact to time. Yet this ma:n
had not made his will a few hours beet a
his death; and therefore-the possession of his
property formed the elubjact of a very flow
isbing lawsuit.
When I went out of that dark, dismal clan
()Omit of dead mon's wills, I went on think ing
of all the similarcasee of procrastinatioi which
I knew or had heard of—and they were not a
few—for this is a piece of 'the sxperienc4 of
one who was a law-clerk before he quarre•led
with red-tape. What a curious catalogue they
were ! There was an old lady, a toothless old
dowager, who had a reprobate and discarded
son, and a pretty gentle niece, who lived with
her. We used to manage all her affairs, and
it was pretty well known in the on that the
"nice girl with the long curls" was to-be•the
old lady's heir. Our head-clerk, a red-whie
kered dandy, who had no mean opinion of him
self, built, I could see, certain speculation■ on
that basis. The old lady never came without
Eliza; and when a visit was expected. Mr.
Catchpole brushed his fiery hair into the most
killing "curls, and changed-the out-at-elbows
coat for the smart one ho wore out of doors,
and beautified himself as fur as that Wras prac
ticable. Well, a message came ono day that
the old lady was ill, very ill, with an urgent
request that some one should go at once and
make her will. Off wont our Adonis as fast as
a promise of somethihg libsral over the faro
could urge the cabman. When he arrived, the
old lady was alive---ljust alive enough to toll
him that all her property was to be left to Eli
za. She told him that in the hissing whisper
which supplied the place of the cracked voice;
but when she came to the word "all," so full
was the poor old creature of love for the niece,
or, perhaps, of determination—let us hope not.
hate against her son—that she half rose up in
her bed and clenched her withered hand, and
shrieked out that word again. It must have
been n terrible eight; that of life etruggling
with death for a will! It was a short matter
to write that will down; and estchpole's pen
flew over the paper, and the old eyes,,t.haf were
glazing so fast stared anxiously the while, and
the thin fingers actually held the pen she had
- asked for beforehand ready to sign the paper,
no a low tnicutas, all was ready ;' but what 4
- .
difference that few minutes made! The clerk .
had risen from hie seal and approached the
couch, when the surgeon, who stood on the
other aids, said, with that ciolness which me•
dicnl practic6 brings, "It is too late ;" audit
was too late. The dead fingers clenched the
unused pen so tightly that they had to bo
elesped from it. The' son woo heir of all, and
Eliza a beggar! Death had tinnillated that
sorenmed•eut "all" into none: The sequel le
soon told. The property was rastetrby the
son, and has long since passed into other hands
and, Eliza, instead of possessing soma thou-
sonde a year, and Wink wooed by Mr. Catch
polo, ie& faded daily gorernese.
Briny lawyer's office has plenty of such sto
ries as this. Ono I remember of . a wilier who
bad ruined more than one family, and in his
last momenle wished to make such reparation•
as' bequeathed .gold could Compaes. Poor
wretch, when thp,Will was brought, Catalepsy
had seized him, and ha lay there a hiving corpse
—dead in all but mind. He could not move
his hand ; his tongue refused its Milne ; only
his eyes Were free to move: and of those oyes
I have been told, a terrible tale. Its was, as
misers often nro, a man of strong tolled:and
iron nerve. Passive as he was in every other
part, the eyes" told all that was passing within;
You could have seen in them intelligence when
the will was road to him ; the powtirful volition
brought to bear, and persevered in, when the
written• word whiciti'wee to make tested.ont
woe required; ,the terror and horror whit&
came over hitu when ho found the right bend

lived somewhere init iAtlred country-house far
off from any tdwn. This man was subject to
a disease of the-heart . ,4nd one night, fooling
the symptoms of-an approaching attack, and
that strange presentiment which so often ootnes
beforedeath, he roused•Ne household, and sent
off a Messenger on horseback, not for a sur
geon, but for a lawyer, Ho wanted his will
made instantly. The messenger could not be
expected baok for at lonet two hours, and long
before that the spoknodic attack had come on,
but still in the intervals of his paroxysms, that
determined man wrote as though agajnst time.
When the :lawyer did arrive, all thae'was loft.
of the living will which had been eo active and
energetic a few hours, before, was that last
piode of writing. It expressed the deceased's
intention, in the• strongest torms,;,utterly to
disinherit his rebellious child, and to give his
proPort7 to Some charitable institutions. It
'was complete, even to the signaturei only the.
flourish usually added'to the name was want
ing,' as though there the land had failed. But
that writing was not a will ; it was cot in pro
per form, nor attested. In the eye of the law
it was but an.invnlid pieoo of paper, and the
daughter took that which her birthright en
titled her to,
Wills generally afford a frightful temptation
to the worse part of our nature. I believe
that more cunning, more • falsehood, more
- worldly anxiety,
,and more moral wrong are
blended with the 'subject of "wills" than with
the whole mass of law parchments extant. A
will should not only be properly made, but
properly placed, and more than one should be
cognizant of its whereabouts. I have known
many oases of gross turpitude in the shape of
destroying wills, and can record ono rather
'curious anecdote, affording a..vivid illustration
_
of unprincipled greed defeating itself. Two
gentlemen in the city, close friends from their
schoc:l-days, were in the dooli:ie of life. Mr.
Edmonds .had a large family, with compara
tively small means, while Mr, Raymond was
worth two hundred thousand pounds, with no
living relative hilt a nephew of the most profli
gatoand hopeless character. nephew bad
been expensively educated, and had spent un
limitedmoney foi:„.trie . worst purposes, and the
uncle at length became wearie4 and disgusted
with the young min's utter depravity. "Ed
munds," said Raymond, one day to his-friend,
as he handed him ii roll of paper, "here ismy
will. I Wave left my nephew ten thousand
pounds, and the rest of my kira - perty to you,'
who, I know,;rill make good it of it." 'Ed. , '
monds remonstrated, and implored, but was
eventually compelled to take the will, and lock
it up in his private desk. Within a few months,
however, by dint of constant entreaty, Ed
munds prevailed upon his friend to make ano
thef will, and just reverse the bequests, leav
ing the nephew the bulk of the property, and
Edmonds the ten thousand pounds. This will
Edmonds read, and saw safely deposited in
Raymond's iron chest at his private residence.
Within the following year Raymond died. The
nephew found the will, and, as it afterwards
appeared, such was his baseness, that, to so
sure in addition to tho rest the ten thousand
pounds left to Edmunds, he immediately burnt
the document, knowing that if his uncle died
intestate, he himself was heir-at-law. On this .
villainous announcensent,..7Edmonds,--sinking
his conscientious scruples, produced the first
will thyta by Raymond, and claimed the chief
of the property; and the.unprincipled nephew,
after making full confession during a fit of
delirium tremens, killed himself.
Ills'Excuse for being a Bachelor
The only objection ever made to me in this

I,itte "autuinn and winter apples belong to
that class of fruits which are gathe'red before
maturity and ripened in the,fruit room or cel
lar, and they should be picked when they have
received from the tree all the valuable elements
the season will allow it to give them; English
gardeners have a rule that no fruit should he
suffered to remain on the trees after they cease
to vegetate, end this is in general a good one.,
The apples above spoken of, as well as pears
of the same class, may remain ungathered un
til there is danger of injury from frost, as the
sun and air, and the still remaning vigor of
the tree, seems necessary to tfair perfection
and maturity.
Apples designed for long preservation,
should, as far as practicable, be picked by
hand, carefully and separately, and when they
¢re'Till) wet by dew or rain. They should be
handled so as not to bruise them in the least
—as carefully almost as eggs or glass-ware.
Lay them gently upon the floor of a cool dry
room,_a_foot deep, to sweat and season for two
or three weeks, and then, on a clear dry day,
sort and pluck the apples carefully in clean dry
barrels, filling them so full that the apples can
not move after being headed in. The very
best, which will keep longest, may bo wrapped
up separately in soft paper barere packing, or
they may be placed in layers•with dry chaff
around and bettieen them.
Moat cellars and ground floors aro too damp
for the perfect keeping of apples through the
winter and spring, and also of too variable a
temperature—the latter should not vary much.
from 40 degrees. if an upper room can be so
prepared as to retain about the same degree of
heat, arynese and darkness, it is a very desi
rable locality for the preservation of fruit; not

French Courtship and Marriage.
Did you over see• a French wedding ? Here
you are, on the place St. Sulpice. Douses
built for the groat and rich, now deteriorated,
degraded - into sordid lodging, houses, a/el on
all the othe sides t, but in the centre is the
beautiful edifice of St, - Sulpice, :with its two
open towers. It is - gloomy enough within--

the altar, and on the altar itself the masses of
white °amass, roses, jessamines, and white
lilacs almost exclude. the eight of the sacred
imazeit. The aisles aro filled `with new straw
chairs; the eacristants are in their best; the
beggars in their worst—for that is, their wed
ding garment. All stand in waiting round the
door. On 'the steps is the Sui3se,looking to the
.uninitiated-uncommonly like the drum-major
of a regiment, all gold lace, with cocked hat
and feathers, and a sword by his side—in hand
a long pole with a silver knob. His legs are
models, and ho knows it. Now the carriages
arrive. The Suisse stamps his stick upon the
stones, and down gots the bride, led by her
mothers—futhjrs are rather on the back ground
on these occasions. The organs peal, and the
tvhole procession, headed by the Suisse, starts
up to the altar. Then the aisles fill with qve

When a man finds a great deal of fault with
'a newspaper which ho - never. fails to read, it
is n sign that he has not paid for it. People
seldom pink flaws In their own property.
When a young lady signifies. her intention to
devote the remainder of her days to taking
care of "the old folks at home," it is a sign
she would rather not, but is preparing to make
a virtue of necessity.
When you see a young gentleman begins to

extremities, it is a sign that ho id "shaky!'at

PAnzits, = To the poor, the weekly newspaper
is a precious boon. They cannot afford books,
and indeed, would have but little time to read
them. But for the merest trifle, hardly to be
missed, a whole family may' draw almost daily
from an inexhaustible fund of reading. • The
father can discuss the contents of his newspa
per at the breakfast table, with hie wife and
children, and go forth to his labor supplied
with material for thought which cannot fail to
make him wiser and better, and elevate him in
the scale of humanity.
,It is an undeniable
fact that while -the few read books, the many
depend entirely on the news paper for intellec
