Select STORY.
Cid Kilborne's Will.

| Old Walter Kilborne died and left q
fortune that aggregated nearly million.
The gloomy old house which had been
the family residence for many year,
stood in one of the down town streets
| tha: had once been the site of the fash
ionab!e residence of New York city
But the wealthy had long ago removed
to the avenues, leaving the perverse oli
millionaire to hold his own among tie
growing business of the once aristocralic
| thoroughfare. A bunch of black Grape
still hung on the bell knob, four days
after the funeral, when bent. willy look
ing man pulled it. Being admitted. he
was shown into the dingy room which
Mr. Kilborne had in his life used as an
office This bent and willy looking man
was Lawyer Whittemore.
Good morning. said the lawyer, as
Robert. grandchild of the dead million
aire. d young man who showed plainly
enough the marks of rough social usage,
entered and extended his hand rather
listlessly.
Good morning was the reply
well"
well T. echoed the lawyer.
"You got my note ?"
asking me to meet you here : Yes !;
what do you WANT"
"You drew my grandfather's will 2
II did, two days before he died"
"Whut were its contents -
IL have no right to tell you" and Nh.
Whittemore tried to look severe. at is
with the Surrogate now, and you will
know its contents OH Thursday, when it
will be officially opened. | couldn't
think of violating my Official
"Not unless you are paid for it, in
terrupted the young man. i understand
that perfectly well, and will be plain and
brief with you As you are aware, my
self and my cousin Myra are the only
living relatives of my grandfather. We
have been brought up here in this house
together, and each hates the other as
much as possible. Now, I've no idea
how the property lie left, and l want to
know. l am willing TO pay for the
knowledge in advance of the opening of
the will, and you have it to SELL"
The lawyer assented with cool nod
of his head.
Then name your price," continued
Robert.
"One thousand dollars"
81 haven't go much
"A note for month will do "
The document was quickly written
out, signed by the young man. and trans
posed to the lawyers pocket.
The WILL" then said Mr.. Whittemore
ais strange One-as strange as the man
who made it-but he would listen to no
advice, and | had nothing to do but carry
out his wishes. He leaves all his prop
erty to Myra Kilborne.'
"D-n him - hissed Robert.
Hold" said the lawyer, until you
hear the conditions. He leaves all his
property to Myra, az 1 said before, on
condition that she shall Immediately sign
an agreement to within year, become
your wife. If she shall decline to fulfill
this condition, the property belongs to
you. The only other point is, that in
case Myra is married to anybody before

A Fathers Advice to a Bride.


Said young husband, whose bust
ness speculations were unsuccessful;
Z" My wife's silver tea set, the bridal
gift of a rich uncle, doomed me to fl
nancial ruin. 1t involved hundred
unexpected expenses, which, in trying
to meet, have made me the bankrupt
man that | am His is the experience
of many others, who less wise do not
not know what is the goblin of the house
Working its destruction. A sagacious
father of great wealth, exceedingly
mortified his daughter by ordering it to
be printed on her wedding cards. "No
presents, except those adapted to an in
come of 81 1000" Said he, you must
not expect to begin life in the style l
am able by many years of labor to in
dulge, and ! know of nothing that will
tempt you to try, more than well inten-
toned but pernicious gifts of rich
friends" Such advice is timely. If
other parents would follow the same
plan many young men would be spared
years of incessant toll and anxiety,
they would not find themselves on the
downward road because their wives had
woren all their salary or expended it on
the appointments of the house. The fate
of the poor man who found linchpin
and felt obliged to make a carriage to
fit it, is the fate of the husband who
finds his bride in possession of gold
and silver ware and no large income to
support the owners gold and silver
style.

WHY Gnnld Gnro I'm tho smnr.


The mrs clearly the facts in reference 10 Jay
q ,uld's "rcstiiution" are brought out the more
evident does II appear that the whole affair is a
dsgracsful swindlo. II was forssecn that the
addition Of nins millions 10 the Erie treasury
would cause a rise in the valuo Of the stock I,
and Jay Gould speculaled largely on that call
culation somo days befnre his wonderful "resti-
tution." 1t is believed that his gains from this
source alone may be reokoned by millions per-
haps some tf the other persons who knew what
was going to happen improved tho occa sion in,
the same way. by Jhe samo judicous tactics,
jaw Gould can restnre two millions more next
week. cause another rise in the stock buy il in
anticipation Of rise in the stock, aud get back
four millinns for his two. Is not this a very
prolg eaaso What is tho use, after all, "a
Sen"uucing trumpery, pick pockets and bur
glars when sw;ndlng IN this gigantic scale
goes on with the approval NJ great corporations

Property Exemptions.

A few years ago (says the Url AMI Citizcn) }
a COW, pig, the family bibl'. with one suit Of
cl.thes, knife and fork, plat', cup and saucer,
for each momter OF the family, were all that
were exempt from execution in a matter Of debt
in most States OF this Union. But now by
legislative spActmenis or the decisions of the
courts, there is little thst can be taken from an
unwilling debtor by process Of law. Ia most
af tho Western States the homestead is exempt
from, execution, and il the owner is farmer,
such stock, tools, instruments and seed as are
necessary, for carrying on the farm, together
with suitable provisions for the family till the
following harvest. In case of mechanic he is
entitled to the tools that are needed to carry on
his particular trade. So, too, professional men
sAnlsold their libraries, or such portions of lhem
as are necessary for carrying OF their business.
by slow degrees tho courts have groasly en-
tinged The numbar OF things that shall be re =
gAr,lss as necssSArils. Quite recently Judge
Insrahsn, of New York, decided that watches
are necessary articles, anil that they are s'sre'
fore exempt, under ths statute Of that Stste,
from seizure nn sale on execution Ilo based
his decision on the ground that the laws OF that
State exempted clothing anil "other necessary
articles" As this is a progressive age, and
ana in which creditors have few rights that
debioEs are bound to respect; II is by n" means
improbable that the coming judge shall include
diampud bsaAst-pius, poode-dogS, and irotIing'
horses among tbs Unnecessary articles" that
ahall be exempt fSnn execution.
wo believe tbs iujrAiiee OF such law and
sush rulings under the law are becoming ap-
parent n almost every ono. Let every mau
ibuk around him and ascertain how m,ny hon
esi men are benefited by such exemI4ioas. Then
let him count up the disLOnsst men seeking pro-
,ection behind this law. We bslisEe the dis
cly,ry will be made, that In nine cases out Of
ten The law, as administered, hss been shield
10 the dish Gnest man.
AZ the question Of repeating the law was be-
Soss As Legislature at its last session, We tFuft
that ii may come up again during the present
sitting OF that body n does not seem dificult
10 dstermin, that lha designs VI the law have

this will be an improvement on the present

the deceased vice president was supposed to

The Same medium was applied to, and the
willing spirit invoked. "Jim,s," said tho
weeping Gould. "wAere are you % ain hpll'
