to pass away without letting the little household
know that he could make noise in the supposed
quiet of the grave Probably the green eyed mon
ster had been his companion for years, and he felt
desperate as the end drew near, and to make the
future sure was unmanly enough to pen the fol-
lowing will:
My will is that my wife shall have the rule and or
dering with the dsposing of all my substance have
while she keepeth herself in unmarried condition
and that she will take counsel of my loving friends
Cousin Thomas Parker, my brother, Nicholas Noise

mentioned shall have the dsposngof all the portions
of my wife and children they shall see meete
