Henry Ward Beechey, when q school boy, had

the story thus:

full OF whimpering. "That lessen must be learn.

terrible intensity and with the certainty of fate.

"That's nothing to me I want the lesson.
You need not study it at all. or you may study

lesson. Underwood, go to the blackboard"
"Oh, yes, but Underwood got somebody to
show him his lesson"
"What do Icare how you get it !? That's your
business But you must have it,
In the midst of lesson his cold and calm voice
would fall upon me in the midst of a demonstra-
tion-"No" hesitated, stopped, and then went
back to the beginning; and on the same spot
again--"No!' uttered with the tone of perfect
conviction, barred my progress. ''The next !"
and l sat down in red confusion. He too was
stopped with "No!' but went right on finished,
and, as he sat down, was rewarded with "Very
we'll"
"Why," whimpered l, II recited it Just as he
did, and you said "No!"
"Why didn't you say Yes and stick to it, It
is not enough to know your lesson. You must
know that you know it! You have learned
nothing till you sure. If all the world saws
No, your business is to say Yes, and to prove it!'

Singular WIFI.

The Columbus Ohio Journal of the 22d ult..
says: Yesterday we heard of. and read part of
the most singular will on record The maker of
the will is represented to be shrewd successful
business man, who has accumulated quite large
fortune. He exhibits no other sign of insanity
than may be derived from the extreme eccentri-
city of his will, although il is probable the
courts will, in due course, be called upon to de-
termlne the question whether the testator was of
sound and disposng mind. The will disenher-
its all the natural heirs of the maker of it. and
devises the entire property in trust for the estab-
lishment OF an Infirmary for Cats A most
elaborate architectural plan for the necessary
buildings is attached to and made part of the
will. 1t provides areas for that sweet amatory
converse so dear to the feline heart and rat
holes OF the most ravishing nature, to be kept
we'll stocked. The most ingenious contrivances
are provided for securing to the rat chance of
escape so that the cats may not lose the pleasures
OF tho chase by finding their prey come too east
ly. High walls to be built with gently
sloping roofs, for the moonlight promenade and
other nocturnal amusements of the cats The
trustees are directed to select the grounds for
this novel infrmary in the most populous part of
some American city, and the devisees are to be
protected by competent force of nurses from
the ravages Of men and dogs. No person of the
male sex is ever to be admitted within the walls,
and no female who has children or is under 30
years old. There are hundreds OF minute direc.
tons which we have no time to note. One would
suppose that in the foregoing provisions the ties.
tator had exhausted all the eccentricities of one
man, however unique his nature, but the last
provision of the will seems more courageously
bizarre than any that " before. Says the devil
sor: 81 have all my life been taught to believe
that everything in and about man was intended
to be useful, ard that it was mans duty, as lord
of animals, to protect all the lesser species, even
as God protects and watches over him. For
these two combined reasons-frst that my BODY,
even after death, may continue to be made use
full; and secondly, that it may be made instru-
mental, as far as possible, in furnishing substi-
tute for the protection of the bodies OF my dear
friends, the cats-I do hereby devise and be.

up forever and ever, without cessation day or

lege of always hearing and enjoying that instru.
ment which is the nearest approach to their
natural voice."
