ON THE MAKING OF WILLS.

ON THE MAKING OF WILLS.
A very AMUSING and Interesting es.
saw on this subject, will be found in
HasLitt's Table Talks, where he cites
many instances of the aohinsic0tity of
mankind in this respect. He records,
particularly, the posth3mo"s avarice
of the late Mr.. Thellusson,a Swiss msr.
chsat, whose immense fortune (about
I6OO, 900 stsrling) was made in trade.
His children naturally expected to ln-
herIt It; but the unnatural father, who
felt the passion Of accumulation, strong
even in DEATH directed by will, so
carefully drawn, as to be proof against
the assaults and underminibgs OF the
whole bar and bench of England, that
the tar greater part Of his property
should be- prevented from vesting, as
the lawyers say. to the utmost limit
that ne law allows. This may extend
TO nearly century, and at that time,
if the avarice and ambition Of this man
have THAR way, single individual TO
take has NAME may 90 put in posses
sion Of seventeen millions sterling,
Welding an In-o ne which, Il was coh-
tended, no subject should be allowed to
have. II rhellusson had prepared his
children for this, it might have been
pardoned: but he suffered the shock to
come upoo them with all its force, hav-
ing fairly swinded them out OF all
those last at entions and acts OF love
an! kindness which, at the time, he
musr have Known that ne did not de.
serve not because he limited their pos
sessions that would not have excused
their absence from his dying pillow
bu.. bee .use he wantonly besuiled their
reasonable expectations, and lacerated
their natural hopes. 4
But, lei US proceed to an act of disin-
harrison of a less serious kind. The
humor of the Tatttsr and Guardian is
passed away; our young readers arc al
most wholly unscquainted with it,
Haz!itt has revived one of the pleasant
oddities that the pen OF Addison ever
exhibited. We find, in No 2l6 OF the
Tattler, the will of Nicholas CHM
crack, Esq. piece of exquisite, tho
exaggerated ridicule, directed against
DR.. Woodward, great naturalist Of
that day. We extract from it few
stems, by way of caution to our readers
who hate expectations. Mr.. Gimcrack's
property was probably, as valuable, az
has ozOn estimation, as Mr. Thellus.
sons. but the former confined his re-
sentiment to his eldest son, whose OF.
fence, indeed, was Of most serious
sort: The widow and the rest OF the
children are, (most substantially pro-
vided foe as foliows:-

Out of your noise, We blastit wight,
That breaks my slumbers ilka night,
Giindin your tunes for very spite
Through thick and thin !!
Ye'd make Christian swear outright
To hear your din.
Sure We must be some smoutie ghost
Let loose frae hell's internal coast;
Ane of aud Clootie's muckle host,
An yelpin choir,

Did We but ken the pangs feel
To Law and list your cursed squeel,
Ye xad ma grind anither peal
Sac harsh and deep
But gang in pitie to the del,
An let me sleep.
There is ma music in your din,
Nav, sic discord We begin,
Ye lar the verv windows IN
vi tortured tune;
If m~rder be a deadly sin,
YEN rue it soon.
To please the disl auld Orpheus played,
And for his wife i tiddlin paid;
On Golphin's tail Arion rade
The pillows stripin.
Bath drew the oaks frae hill to glade
BY dint O. ppm.
But We wad DO things greater still d:
Your noise Waa drown water mill,
Ye'd scare the ~uods anu split the hill,

And ony mortal wight ye'd kill

Wad slap your unco gratin whine,

And think it cheap.
