A BEAUTIFUL WILL.
Made by a Poor, Insane Lawyer in the
City of Chicago.
The curious will of an insane man
made when he was poor and near
death has come to our notice. The
old man had no property, but he
realized the true values of life, and
these he sought to pass on to posterity
in his will. The document was
-composed by Wiinston nsn, a lawyer
in Chicago, and is beautiful for
its thought. For childhood, for lovers,
for old age he left every joy.
The optimism and wholesome spirit
of the document warrant its being
reprinted here, although its economic
significance is rather remote. It
reads:
"I, Charles Lounsbury, being of
sound mind and disposing memory,
do hereby make ana publish this, my
last will and testament, in order as
justly as may be to distribute among
.succeeding men.
"That part of my interest which
is known in law and recognized in
the sheep-bound volumes as my proerty,
being inconsiderable and of no
account, I make no disposal of in
f , this my will.
"My right to live, being but a life
estate, is not at my disposal, but
hut these things excepted, all else in
the world I now devise and be
* mioatb
"'Item: I give to good fathers and
mothers, in trust for their children,
all good little words of praise and
encouragement, and all quaint pel
- v names and endearments, and I charge
said parents to use them justly and
generously, as the needs of their
children may require.
"Item: I leave to children inclut'U
sively, but only for the term of their
childhood, all and every, flowers, of
the fields, and the blossoms of the
U 'Woods, with the right to play among'
them freely according to the customs
. . of children, warning them at the same
time against thistles and thorns.
And I devise to children the banks
of the brooks, and the golden sands
Kg* - *
beneath the waters thereof, and the
odors of the willows that dip therein,
and the white clouds that float high
over the giant trees. And I leave
the children the long, long days to be
merry in, in a thousand ways, and
the night and the moon and the train
??/ of the milky way to wonder at, but
subject nevertheless to the rights
, ,
hereinafter given to lovers.
"Item: I devise to boys jointly all
|fcy the useful idle fields and commons
p: where ball may be played; all pleasnut
waters where one may swim, all
snowclad hills where one may coast,
fe- I and all streams and ponds where one
may fish, or where, when grim winO
ter comes, one may skate; to have
-and to hold the same for the period
pkj . of their boyhood. And all meadows
with the closer blossoms and butterflies
thereof, the woods and their
appurtenances, the squirrels and
birds, the echoes and strange noises,
> # and all distant places which may be
visited, together with the adventures
there found. And I give to said boys
each his own place at the fireside at
night, with all pictures that may be
- ^ seen in the burning wood, to enjoy
I J ' without let or hindrance and without
;P , any incumbrance of care.
"Item: To lovers, I devise their
imaginary world, with whatever they
may need; as the stars of the sk^;
the red roses by the wall; the bloom !
rx of the hawthorn; the sweet strains of
p*t music by which they may desire to
figure to each other the lastingness
and beauty of their Iqve.
"Item: To young men jointly, I
devise and bequeath all boisterous,
B*2'
rv i inspiring sports of rivalry, and I
give to them the disdain of weakness
and undaunted confidence in their
own strength, though they are rude,
I give them the power to making
lasting friendships, and of possessing
companions, and to them exclusively
I give all merry songs and
brave choruses, to sing with lustly
voices.
"Item: And to those who are no
longer children or youths or lovers, I
.i
leave memory, and I bequeath to
them the volumes of the poems of
Burns and Shakespeare and of other
poets, if there be others, to the end
that they may live over the old days
again, freely and fully, without
tithe or dimunition.
"Item: To our loved ones with
snowy crowns I bequeath the happi
ness of old age, the love and gratitude
of their children until they fall (
asleep."?Commerce and Finance.

There entered a store in Mobile, a

tendered in payment a dollar piece ,
that had a suspicious ring. ]
