sons for the smallness of the legacy that ne
was sc convinced that an ounce will be found
more than they'll ever make use of. - s
! Another testator, after having stated at
great length in his will the numberof OBJ
legations he was under, bequeathed sto his
benefactor ten thousand---here the leaf
turned over, ana the legatee, turning to the
other side, found the legacy was ten thou
sand thanks.
A testator who evidently intended to
thwart his relations and be g benefactor TO
the LAWYERS, gave to certain persons Gas
many acres of land as shall be found equal
to the area Enclosed by the centre OF oscll-
lation of the earth in revolution round the
sun, supposing the mean distance of the
sun q 900 semi -diameters of the earth
| from it,"
An uncle left in his will eleven silver
spoons to his nephew, adding, If have
not left the dozen, he knows the reason. :"
The fact was, the nephew had some little
time before stolen the twelfth spoon from
| his relative.
Sir Joseph Jekyll left his fortune to pay
the national debt. When Lord Mansfield
] heard of this, he said: :" Sir Joseph was a
very good man and a good lawyer, but his
| bequest was a very foolish one; ne might
as well have attempted to stop the middle
arch of Blackfriars bridge with mis- full
bottomed wig"
| Lord Pembroke gave g nothing to Lord
Say, which legacy | give him because |
know he will bestow it on the poor" and
then, after giving equally peculiar legacies,
he finished with: "Item--I give up the
ghost"
Dean Swift's character is exempli6ed in
his will. Among other things, be bequeathed
to Mr.. John Grattan, Of Clommenthan, a
silver box, "in which desire the said John
to keep the tobacco he usually cheweth,
called pigtail.'
The celebrated Sarah, Duchess of MARI
borough, left Pitt G10 600 for {" the noble
defence he had made for the support of the
laws of England, and to prevent the ruin of
his country" A similar bequest was not
long since made to Mr.. D'Israeli.
Bacon left a will appointing six executors,
but no property except his name and mem
DRY, which he bequeathed to ''men's chari-
table speeches, to foreign nations, and the
next age"
Others wrote their wills in verse, and, as
a specimen, we will give that of William
Jacket, OF the parish OF lsllngton, which
was proved in 1887, when no witnesses
were required to will of personal estate !:
C give and bequeath,
When I'm laid underneath,
To my two loving sisters so dear
The whole of my store,
Which Gods goodness has granted me here.
And that none may prevent, .aa
This my will and intent, ~
Or occasion the least law racket
With solemn appeal, -
confirm, sign and seal,
This the act and deed of Will Jacket"

Terrible Fire at Quebec.

QUEBEC &C. E.), Oct 15.-At A o'clock
yesterday morning, fire began in the house
of Mr.. Trudel, grocer, St. Joseph street,
near Jacques Cartier market. Owing to
the early hour of the morning, there were
but few people about. The wind which.
had blown half gale from the eastward
all night, had slightly abated,; still it ragged
with such fury as to cause serious .appre-
tensions. By the time the fire brigade
reached the scene, Trudel,s house was en-
veloped in flames. The sappers were
already there, but there was some delay in
laying the hose and getting force of
water, which was not remedied for nearly
an hour, enabling the fire to make rapid
progress. No less than ten or twelve houses
were ON fire, and lumber and wooden sheds
on all sides ignited
By ihalf1past five, eighty houses all I
wooden, were in a blaze, the flames, driven
by the wind, spreading in all directions.
At $3.50 over $50 houses were consumed.
The fire by this time ran along st. Joseph's
and Notre Dame des Angus to Junction
street and VALERIE street, carrying every
thing before it. The chul ch of La Congre-
cation stood in great, danger, but sudden
clearing of the wind saved it. rj45a4r agf>

trict living between st. Sauver and Lower
streets, running parallel with the river, was
a barren waste. Having nothing to feed
on, it distributed itself in opposite direc-
tions, the wind increasing again, blowing
gusts from every direction. Three separate
confagraticns were observable at once. ST..
Sauvier Church, Dunn's soap and candle
factory, Ries' rope-walk, and other large
buildings were in flames. Along ST. Waller
street, toward the toll gate ard streets sur
rounding the general hospital and convent,
another terrible fire was raging with even
greater fury. At Back Gro gn. street and
along Prince Edward, Jesuit, and Ryland
streets, the flames were creeping back,
enveloping street after street despite the
almost superhuman efforts.
The confagration ceased about 5 o'clock,
when there was nothing more for it to feed
on. Moderate computation places the num-
Der Of houses destroyed at $500. Loss on
real property between = $4,000 and
$3000,O00. The number of persons rem
dered houseless is estimated at $4,000.

Some, who in life would not have given a
cup of water to a beggar, by their wills
leave enormous sums to charities, to secure
for themselves kind of posthumous admira-

sleep with them in the grave, but leave
behind them wills which excite the bitterest
feelings and animosities among their sur

AN ANAroMIsT TO HIS LADY LOVE

I list as thy heart and ascending aorta tS
Their volumes of valVular harmony pour;
And my soul from that muscular music@has caught 9
New life mid its anatomical lore. s
o, rare is the sound when thy ventrcles throb
In systolic symphony measured and slow.
White the auricles answer with rythmical sob,
As they murmur a melody wondrousy low!
O. thy cornea, love, has the radiant light
OF the sparkle that laughs in the icicle's sheenl
And thy crystalline lens, like diamond bright
Through the quiveriDg frame of thine iris is seen!
And thy retna, spreading its luster of pearl,
Like the far away nebuIa, di5tantly CLEANS
From vault of black cellular mirrors that hurl
From their hexagon angels the silvery beams
Alb, til fash of those orbs is enslaving me STILL
As they roll meath the papabra dimly translucent
Obeying, in silence, the magical will
OF the -pathetic-abducent.
o, sweet is thy voice, as it sighingly swells
From the daintily quivering chorda vocales
Or rings in clear tones through the echoing cells
OF the antrum, the ethmoid, and sinus faontales.
