The Importance OF Executing Wills

We ought never 10 lose sight Of the fact, that

which We possess, and hence we are response
BILE for the right distribution Of them by will.
When man reflects bow many domestic ami
moslties and family separations have been, and
arc yet constantly produced by the neglect Of
heads Of families in not having their wills duly
and promptly executed when he considers
that from the want Of proper specification
and appropriation Of property by will, it may

ishod away by prodigal heirs, who were never
intended by the testator 10 have full possession
of it--nay, even when their having any con-

Is the uncertainty Of human life, that in tho
midst Of life VIC are In death, not even knowing
what the next day may bring forth, how clear
ly and how fDrcibiy must it appear 10 his
mind, as If inscribed there with the dstiuctness
Of a sunbeam, that one Of the most urgent and
important Of his earthly obligations is that OF
Z" setting his house IN ORDER" before sickness
and death come suddenly upon him.
Those who postpone executing their testa-
mentary arrangements, from the superstitious
apprehension that such an act would prove the
immediate precursor Of death, are little aware
Of the unfoundcd nature Of these fears, and Of
the very converse Of the effects they 50 much
dread being the facts Of the case. Itwould be
well for persons influenced by such fears, to
inquire whether delay in the execution Of their
wills may not be, under some circumstances,
the very means Of accelerating the termination
Of life. In cases Of severe and sudden illness,
it Is often most important for the mind to DO

a preacher IN frontier settlement had been
collecting money for some church object
There was still some twenty dollars wanting,
and after vain efforts TO make up the deficiency,
he plainly intimsted, as be locked the church
door one day, after service, that be intended to
have that said twenty dollars before any Of
them left The house. At the same time he set
the example by tossing FIVE dollars on the ta-
be. Another put down dollar, another a
half Of dollar, another a quarter Of a dollar,
and 80 on. The parson read out every now
and then the state Of the funds. There's

revolver told with powerful effect upon the
cowardly robbers. One after another theyhed
from the field, and ere haitian hour passed, tho
remnant Of the small band remained its mas
ters. Ten had fallen in the strife and lay COM
mingled with the bodies OF forty bandits upon
the CORY sod. But where was Ricardo .
Kneeling beside yon rock, with bis pale and
haggard face upturned to heaven, while the
blood oozed from deep wound ip his breast,
he is bending over the lifelcss form Of bis
daughter. From bullet hole in her forehead
the tide of life has ebbed away, and her lovely
locks are dabhled in her own liGe's blood, now
mingled with that other father. Standing be-
side him, with his foot resting upon the body
of fventell, the Guerrilla Chief, is Abbott His
haggard brow is furrowed with lines Of heart
felt anguish, and his manly heart is beating
sympathy for the bereayed parent. Around
them, but at respectful distance, stand gath
cred the survivors of that fatal conflict, and the
stalwart band brushed the startling tear of SYM
pathy from the eye, aud they turned to bido
the emotions Of swelling hearts. The old man
motioned Abbott to draw near, and in an in
slant the youth was at his side, and dropping
upon one knee he supported the sinking form
Of Ricardo in his arms. .,,
"See that We are buried whispered the
Spaniard TO the youth, "and may God reward
you for your endcaYors in my behalf. Ny
child, come" and fixing his eye upon the
cloudless sky he sank slowly back and expired.
They dug rude grave beside the murmur-
ing waters Of Lake Otholo, and buried the
father and daughter side by side, and the rip
pie Of the gentle waters sing requiem to tho
memory Of the departed. They fell beneath
the iron hand Of the demon Of strife, and per-
issued by violence before the swords Of the foe.
Goodness and love were forgotten in the relent-
less passions Of the mind, racked and tossed by
the vicissitudes Of war, and innocence and
beauty were sacrificed upon the blood-stained
car Of dissension.

Railway News.


Now that an injunction has been issued by
Judge Olin against Mayor Bewen's interference
to prevent the building of the Point Of Rocks
railway, it is hoped that no further obstacles
will be interposed to defeat an object which is
ofsuch vital interest to this city. Every month
that is lost by retarding its construction is at
heavy cost to the citizens The delay that has
already arisen has been serious loss to labor
ers. If the building Of the road be now al
lowed by the Mayor, a thousand poor men will
have employment during the winter, who will
otherwise be sufferers.
We haveit on good authority that the in
structons of the management of the Baltimore
and Ohio road are that work shall progress
upon the Point of Rocks branch with all pos
siblo rapidity from this date.
The Chronicle, which, like most of the other
presses of the city, was Garrett organ until
he actually commenced building the Point of
Rocks road-thc great thing that our citizens
want-now justifes Mayor Bowen in seeking
to stop the construction. 1t says that he is
building upon other than the lawful grade OF
strcots. Examination of the premises shows
that the statement is erroneous. Our people
say with one voice, " Let us have the road, "
and settle about the site of the depots after
ward. That we have no hostility to Mr..
Bowen is seen in the fact that we have already
suggested the neghborhood of his property as
proper one for central depot for all rail-

THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE.-Hon J. 5. Car
lie, late United States Senator from West Vir-
ginia, has written the following letter
"My Dear Sir: Would it not be well to
settle by constitutional provision the question
of suffrage, so that in future it could not be dis
turbed either by State or Federalauthority, thus
removing from State and Federal governments
all agitation of the subject; and would it not
be advisable to substitute such provision for
the DISTINGUISHING clause of the fourteenth
amendment, so that when adopted it would
stand in lieu of the clause referred TO? Such
provision declaring that all male citizens
twenty-one years of age and upward shall he
entitled to vote at all elections, State and fed
eral: that no test oaths, political or religious,
shall be required, and no person excluded ex-
cept for crime after conviction, or for mental
incapacity. ascertained by competent Judicial
authority, would place it beyond the power OF
either race, ia States where the one or the other
might be in the ascendant, to deprive the other
of the right of suffrage aud, it seems to me,
would command the approvalof the great body
of the people South as well as North. Your
friend, JNo. B. CARLILE.
