Make Your Will.

A man has no right to act in dis.
regard TO the fact that MI individual
human life is uncertain ; that accident,
if not disease, may hurry any one Of us
out Of the world at nm unexpected
moment. There are few who, in an
ticipation of death, would not wish to
direct as to the disposal of property
left behind. The law does indc.d mako
wise and just provisions, Of general
principles, for ordinary cases, dis
tributing the property in equitable pro-
portion among the natural heirs. But
sveu if one would prefer to make
precisely the legal distribution, is
there no choice as to who will be
executor2 Make your will, and you
can appoint your true and tried friend,
so that your estate will DO carefully
settled and mado the most of die
without q will, and some one may be
made administrator whom you would by
no means choose, and whose incapHcity
or dishonesty may waste tho estate.
Every man, therefore, who has any
property whatever, be he old or young,
should make his will without twenty
four hours delay (; for he knowcth not
"whrt a day will bring FORTH The
idle superstition, that death will be
fastened by making r. will, surely can
not operate with men Of common sense.
To be ready for death in every respect
land no one is thus ready, who has not
made his WHY must operate rather to
prolong than to abridgc life, since it
mov a burden Of care nnd anxiety.
Ia all ordinary cases II man eau write
his W will with safely. The wills
which produce lawsuits are usually
made by lawyers. Write down in
plain English, as you would tell 10 Il
neighbor, what you wish done with
your property after death, using the
legal title of all institutions which you
desire to remember in it, and after
declaring this to be your last will and
testament, in the presence Of three
witnesses without reading it if you
choose) who should afix their signature
to o sentence stating that they sign il
