him to say, that any subscriptions made
for this purpose 'could be paid as'foliows;
One-third. payable May let, 1872; one
third November lot, 1879 ; one-thir_,
May Ist, 1873—n0 subscription to be duo
unless the-entire anAnt is raised. The
church pill be dedicated free of debt, or
it will not. lie stigirested that - there
might ho twelve persons present who
would subscribe a thousand dollars each

HAVE YOU 31114 DR YOUR WILL?
33Y A LAWYER OP LONG EXPEnurNor..
Reader, iE you have any property, as
there is a faii presUmptieri in a_eountry
like this that you have, it is undoubtedly
a question of interest t, yon. what shall
be done with it whed Au Mb gone.
You must go at.some time, and may go
very suddenly. At May rate, you ORB
probably not live nearly Usjong - as \you
expect to. If you die without a will,
the law Will . do' the best it in making
a just disposition of *'bur property
among your relatives. Berbaps you aro
satisfied to lot the law do,this for you.
If so, very well. But it is'aitogether
probably that you have sonic preference
as to the disiTositiop of your property.
You may wish to bestow - Some of. it in
charity. 'Phis.. the law will not do for
you. You inMit see toi_lit.for yourself,
.or else lot it go undone ; ar d,. in lotting
it go undono, you may uriAin g 4 . very.
clear uty go tifOoner - You anty---bit'v't,
some child that is feobleip,body or mind,
or that had special infsfortOne and needs
special consideration. It isfer yoll, alone
to consider this child. The law knows
nothing about, its special wants, and
cannot provide for thoz: You may
have no dhildren and may have quite a
choice which amount . ; your -nephews
and nieces shall take your property. If
.so, you must sec to it. AThe law will not
select for you. The rich, and the
,poor,_
the deserving and the undeserving - , will
all take alike. Yon may have an'
adopted daughter whorn „you have ac
customed to comforts and,perhaps hp:ti
des, who will be loft Penniless. uniess,
you provide for her. You must 'einem
her her, and not 'trust to the l!tw to do
it. And
, ytiu, may, with a rave sense of
justice, recognize, the right of your good
wife to a more ample allowauco for her
centfort than the law.would give her. If
so, it is for you to think of her and pro
vide for her. The laW;d,oci not k LION
what a remarkably good wife she is, and
what a special claim she has upon you,
and gives her only ber,fixed and too lim
ited portion, dividing the rest, if You
have no children, among collateral rot:it
tires, some of whom perhaps you never
saw. Considor.Woll, then, NN. heti] or it is
not a clear duty to those wbomqou love
'or to sonic good objects that you might
aid, filr you to make a will. •
And now, in the second place, if you
have made up your mind that you ought
to make a will, lot me say to you most
emphatically, make it now. You don't
'know how soon you will ab Your only
sure way is to attend to the matter at
once. If you put it rom day to day
you will probably never i,;ke one. The
fact that so Many wills it by men,
on their deathbed shows y w often per
sons who intended-to 'make a will, and
would be very sorry to die without one,
neglect it till they find themselves just
about to dio,,,Now, let mo give you three
reasons against •SiOStPoning the reakint
of your will- till yi/ are fatally sick,
either of which is reason enough Of
itself ; I. Yon may never have any such
sickness. You may iircwn deed, or
be killed in a railroad accident, or be
burned up, or drowqed. 2. If you have
a leisurely deathbe i time of it, your
mind will be onfeeb ed, things that you
could easily havo kettled by a little
thought when you ... tram . well, will
troublo and perplex—you, and you will
very likely decide them unwisely and
wrongly. i. Your will thus made may
be contested, and will really invito par
ties adversely interested to contort it, on
the ground of your feeble condition, of
which evidence can be easily obtained ;
and as a result your will is (Athor sot
aside and all your plans defeated, or,. if
it is sustained, half your property may
be spent in litigation . and a lifelong
family quarrel engendered, ••
And now, in the third, plaoe, if t ymi are
so thoughtful and prudent as to liars
made a will, another most important
matter is . to Ito conside-red. Bo you keep
your will revised and adapted to new cir
cumstances ? Ilas, your pruporty doub
led sine° the will was Then
probably you want. to give more 'to your
wife, inure ,to A, more to B,more,tto the
Lord.; • Qunsider this. Have yen given
to onp„of your children a piece of real
estate as his : frii; tsharo of yOut , property,
and have you since sold that real estate,
so that child will get - nothing unless
your will is changed? Look well to
this. Tho writer, who has had long ti-s
-perionee ns lawybr, can recall many
caseti when most, unfortunate results
have followed from the neglect to.lceep a
Order. Uverybody h'as heard of
the Washburn will case. Aler . the will
Was made by whinh Mr.' W. had made
ample provisionrot' a s cheruthed - wife in
certain valuable HLOC!C: the stock was so
changed in form as not 'to answeti_ thA
description 01 the will, and a hunts and
still pending controversy has grown out
of it.
And now, in'tho fourth place, let me
say a word to,you about what provision
you should make for your wife. TM;
laws of tlie different:7,States vary some,
what, but as a general rule, give a widow
a life use of onekthird the land owned
the hitiffinnd, and an absolute right
to ono-third *of:the Personal property loft,
after the payneut-of debts, This rule,
under
,the impression that it is a just
one, has very frequently 4been, adoptedS
I?iy husbands in their bequests to their
"I give to my faithful and be
loved, wife her third," ,finds its way, or
did is few years ago, into half_the wills.
Now this is net enough. Unless there
aro gocuLtLmtone to .the, contrary, _the.
wife should have_ substantially all tlic,
Property so long as she lives. There is
generally no reason, if tho property is
sufficient, why the family Aliould not be
kept lip by thewifo after the husband's
Heath. _IIS jt:..was ,berPrq.; and .the.
husband should leave her, if he can,
the same means to keep house and be
hospitable,and charitable that ho enjoyed
tiud, that' ithe was" accustomed to share.
If Yeu give your iiloptlky 2 end thewhele
of it, absolutely. to your will in •
ninny oases be the best thing you can do.
Your children are. hors, and she 'will be,
just as in interested in providing for
them as you can bo,',aud if she. should
stmivo you for ton or CwOnty years, sho
Will bo far bettor able to judge what is
thou best than you can be now. Cir
, cumstaasoes. may, have greatly changed,
and if you have.fentidlor wise and trust
'worthy through nil your married '
you may trustidier to not wisely with 1.9-. 1
feyence 6shohOhanges, -•The'ro may-bo
peculiar and exceptional' chess; your
EMI
wife may boa second wife, and not the
mother •of your &Ham,. or you-may y
have good reasons for not trusting her
judgment. - You must'deeide upon such
oases for yourself ; only remember that
such caeca make it the more important
that You'do not die without a will.
And while I am talking about wives, I
WiCth to remind them that if they have
propiirty of their Own it is as important
they make wills as that their husbands
do so.' Where a wife has property it
generally comes to her by inheritance,
and it may be piesumed that her
brothers and sisters have property also.
If she has rip children, she would
naturally prefer that it should go to her
ImSband. To accomplish this she must
make a will..
/ivied ma say that for either to make
it a condition of a.bequest that the other .
shall forever remain a widow or NV itloWer,
seems to me selfish arid harsh. It may
'be for the best happinesi of either sur
vivor, in late years, to marry again, and
'it ought to by left tp the free t e z xercise of
the judgment of each stirvivor in view
of the facts as they may arise.
And now lot me say to you lastly.
though the matte• is not last in import
ance, do not attempt to make or revise
your own , will, but go to a good lawyer.
The writer gives this advice agaiyst the
interest• of his profession. Nothing is
more fruitful of litigation and lawyers'
fees than badly drawn wills. The learn
ing, per Vining-to wills is recondite and
complicated, and no man'who is not a
lawyer can hope to understand it. 'A
good fee paid for a well drawn will is the
best of economy. '
Let me sum up the iiTholo matter in a
few *olds
:Consider well whether you will
make a will or die without one.
d. If you think it best to. make one,
attend to the matter at once.
3. If you have already made
see that it is-kept in repair.
4. See that ttour wife is made sure of
all she needs, if there iv property enough.
5. And go to a good lawyer to have
your will drawn.—Christian Union.

SPICANIN'. AND RECITATION DAY
What a 'stillness prevails in the old
school room when the " master" an
nounced before dismissing school, that
"on next Friday aftornoou there will be
no recitations, but
: after hearing tto
reading lessons, every young lady will
road an original conMositioiTrUtid''every
young man will commit a piece to mem
ory, of poetry or, prose, which he will
speak from his stand, and those who fail
to do either will be punished.'l
How tho
_perspiration stood 'on the
brows of the timid 'ones :is the solemn
speech was made. Eyen the boy who
had put his mittens on, under Lis desk,
and placed one foot out in the aisle,
ready to "go" at the word " school is
dilimissed," pulled off his mittens and
began searching for a book to take home
"to learn something out on and wlllB
- profanity, such as "darn it,"
"confound the luck," came up from be
hilid the desks—and an felt as if there
was to be an eclipse, and no glass had
been smoked, except the one smart chap
who had "rather spealc''than not," and
the girl's who had big sisters at board
ing sehoOl, whose previous literary ef
forts at home afforded rare chances for
plagiarism, which by a little help would
deceive the teacher.
At last the anxiously-awaited day ar
rives, the forenoon is pas.ied in the usual
manner, but at noon thbre is a decided
change madeln the amalarance of the
scholars and school-room. The "big
gh : ls" are "dressed up" for the occa
sion. Their gowns are of liner texture
than thbee *OM during the week ; some
are adorned with their mother's "breast
pin" :Hid a pair of " prize" ear rings ;
white stockings take. the " literary blue"
or black ones, which would not look so
well on the platform for there were DO
~dresses on train in those days); nearly
all wore " beau-catchers" plastered on
the side of their fachcads, and charcoal
from the tire-place had been used as a
dentifrie during the intermission be
tween fo i re and afternoon.
The little barefooted girls appeared - in
bright., copper-toed shoes and tape ern
4roldered pantalotths of the nankeen
style. \V nth the boys there was also an
attempt at improved toilette ; boots had
been greahed, paper 'collars had been .
turned and a portion of their "Sunday-.
go-to-meetin' clothes" donned for the QC-
Cas Shooky heads of hair had been'
combed into partial subjection, and the
boy with chapped hituds had soaked his
hande in bran boil water
of the original co.tlele wore, visible. 'Thu
"doctor's son" exhaled a polerful
aroma, his father's flavoring
essences, 'and the "ta'v'ern lcuopet's boy"
had annointed Idiot:elf with Jamaica,
a substitute ford3sy' Rum. Tho " mas
ter,'' to maintain a dignity equal to the
occasion, had also exchanged his every
day coat for a "swfilgtail" of fabulous
length and shiny in spots as a duck's
wing. The bell ringsHEcading lessons
are heard—books put away, the speak
„jog platform clearell :for work and the
sliew opens.

"Louder," and we catch a. few words :
"Your father loves You and has been

which no ono can interpret, which cease,
S and after folding tho composition, Lu
cinda lays it on the teacher's table for
inspection, "kurtsoys" and goes to her
seat. "George Francis Sprain," says
tho teacher; and a spruce looking chap,
who'so hairls ~o ese.oiled into curliness,
steps boldly to the front,.
George likes this business—,he is going
to make a lawyer—and in a thrill voice
ho commences : "Not many. 'genera
tions where you now sit encircled' by all
that onibelliohes civilized life, tho wild
fox nodded in the wind, and the thistle
dog his hole unscarod"—and so ho goes
on transposing his sentence occasionally,
but mainly right, and with a firm voice,

Miss Elizabeth Braudroth steps .for

reads a hifalutin' descrjption. of country
life—how " in the Spring,-when meadow

she loves to go out into the fields and
cull butter cups and sec the little lamb- j ,

said she meant,) .and then return back
to home again once more and help her
mother stuff sausages, for if we are not

the rest of Elizabeth's composition.
Then " Charles Bashful,'' starts 'for
the stand, accelerated in his motion by
a pinthrust, as he' eft the seat. He
-bows, and Sel3ing a boy making faces,
°eminences to snicker, until the teacher
conies up by his side and raps his head
with theyferule ; this causes more mirth,
then more raps until he forgets his piece
and is locked up in the wood box in
disgrace.
The minister's son, " Melville Winter
blossom," is then -called to sho-.v' the
scholars how a good boy should speak
Melville looks as a vinegar jug ; his
"piece" has been selected by his parents'
principally -for itmnoral tone ; he says :
" I do most earnestly wish that I
could induce all youthful individuals to
divest religion of its gloomy and. repul
sive associations ; but, my lords, I ask
no respite from deatb.:,l am ready,
ready to die for my coamtry,...pud sink
or swim, revive and perish, I rah for the_
Union, one and inseparable. My Lords,

trying to find the origiiial of the orator's
remarks, stops the medley and Melville
tidies his - seat. He had been crammed
with so many pieces, that lie had not_
able to distinguish bet Ween them, and
thus defeated his parents aigis. But
why continue this subject? The good
little girl recited "Mary's Lamb" very

TEA AND COFFE4
A very interesting article on tea and
coffee appears in ono Of our exchanges,
uyidently written a physician or
scientific man Who has given close altos•
tion-to-the sub . eet. The writer says :
" Once upon a time, not many years ago,
a party of men left Salt Lake City•for
St. Louis with the United States mail, to
be delivered at Independence or * AL Joe.
It was winter. They found the prairies
covered with snow, and finally their
animals perished with hunger ; at this
stage the six men found themselves
.utterly destitute of food ; the gains had
taken to the woods, there were no rivers,
the ground was covered with snow, they
were still hundreds of miles from their
journey's end, while the bleak winter
winds whistling across the wide pi sit ice
in unobstructed fufy, froze them !Wine
times almost. to the heart's cure. All

coffee, this they burned and boiled in
snow water, and triton it traveled six
