THE WORD mLOT.v

Lot is word which, in its application to
land, is unknown to England, and universal
in the United States. It had its rise in an
old Puritan custom. The first settlers in the
seaboard plantations of New England owned
the extensive salt marshes, which produce such
excellent salt hay, in common, and every man
cut and cooked, saved and salted as much of
the latter as he wanted. When, however, the
population increased, and the first simplicity
and harmony were no longer maintained, it
was agreed to divide out these commons in
equal parts to all the families. This was done
after the biblical precedent in the election of
twelfth apostle, by lot, and the choice of ev.
cry man, as his name was drawn and he be-
came entitled to select his piece of land, was
known as his lot. The firm belief of the Pu-
ritans in special Providence watching over
them and their interests made them continual.
ly resort to this manner of distributing lands
OF other articles Of value, held heretofore in
common, and thus the term lot soon came to
designate any quantity. Cotton Mather, in
his Magnolia, speaks, hence, grimly of the
"great lot of evil spirits" that possessed poor
woman in Beverly, and "stories of lots upon
lOLS kllltu NY Oiu uuHLclS III tnC w HitO NAouu
tains are heardsto this day at the fire" says
N. S. Dodge. aa. .'..'
By such means the term lot obtained gener-
al currency in this new country, and every
generation added new application to its mean.
ing. Not only every kind of lands, from a
town lot in the city Of New York to water
lot on prairie in the far West, was thus des-
ignated, but the banker in Wall street has
his nice lot of stocks for sale, and the drover
in Missouri his lot Of hogs, and one man has
lots of friends, while another: is troubled with
lots of debts. But the extreme freedom with
which such terms are used here ia, perhaps,
best shown in the fact that even cemeteries
are laid out in lots, and quite recently d case
came up in New York court Of a man who
had mortgaged such a piece Of property, in
which the judge held "tbat though the con-
veyance of cemetery lot was allowable, it
was not within the range of financial or COM
mercials affairs to suppose that man design.
ed to transfer the remains of any member of
his family, even conditionally, which must be
the effect of the mortgage of his cemetery lot." :"
