WHEN 10 GIVE.

Ehc !sEa'y Sur Way &f tIav'r;. Ones PlAns
<'arvic;! Out
There died TIC ot:>:'r day in Now York
an old merchant. wl.o had been always
conspicuous for iutrlli rrnlly directed
energy in business and for simplicity Of
living. He was not put dow! ON the
short list of the great million. Tres, nor
even on that lnu%rr one Of mon WHO,
though not milliNnairHs, were still very
wealthy. The mudrsty of his living
had placed him on the list Of the fairly
we'll to do. His success III business, his
transformations life, his high character
as n man, citizen and 4 merchant, all
testified to his good sense, Judgment
and ability.
When his will was opened, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, it was found that
he died the possessor OF several millions,
variously estimated Mt from six to ton;
it was also found that he had devised n
very large part of his fortune to num-
Der of colleges, and had done it in the
case of each of them in such y free and
intelligent manner as to again dcmon-
strate his good sense and sound judg-
mcnt. He did not, rs so many do,
make n onc-sidcd antc-mortem bargain
with the recipients of his bounty that
they should use it in the erection of
buildings, or in the endowment Of
chairs, or in any other way leading to
tho perpetuation of his name and his
charitable disposition. He made no
bargain at all with them, but ordered
the various bcqucsts to them to be used
as in the Judgment of the colleges
| should to them seem best.
Wise and generous Il S he was in giving
we'll, he lacked the wisdom of giving
timely. Like so many others who have
greatly desired that the wealth accumu-
lated by them should go to the helping
of the world, he intrustcd the work OF
distribution to executors, instead Of do
| ing it himself. The result is the rather
common onc-his will is contested; is,
If possible, to be set aside, and his be-
nevolent purposes are to be defeated.
| Had he himself done in life that which
he directed his executors to do when he
| was dead. he would have had the assur-
ance that it was certainly and well
| done. The great schools, the usefulness
of which he desired to increase, would
have had their usefulness increased be-
J yond all peradventure, and his light OF
| charity would have SO shone before men
| as to serve as an example and an in.
| centive to others to emulate it. AS it is
his purposes of well-doing may all be
| frustrated, and the millions which he
wished should, and which he anticipated
would, be employed in extending the
beneficial influences of enlightened cdu
cation, may be spent in costly legal con
tention, or otherwise less protitably
than he who wrought for them intended
they should be spent. To give most
surely every man should himself give
and give timely. during his own active
life, to the end that his designs shall
| not he set aSi.lt,

There is Il certain force. under which
n great many human beings are com
tinunu>ly found. called 10y the Latin
phrase riS i'!rHiV. the power of doing
uuthing. Now. it is not in the least
degree useful to speak of those who
are under this ri& iHcrtiF to talk to
them about human pursuits. Why,
they have no idea of pursuing any
thing. Human pursuits involve the
exercise of will. the putting forth of
energy, the making of choice. and
the moving in the direction of that
j choice; but they who are under this
powerful and miSchievous force. never
think of moving ut all. You might as
we'll talk to the now city hall here
about pursuit, rs to talk to them.
They do not mean to pursue; they
stand still. They are somewhat like
oysters, which, dare say. rest at tho
first point where they happen to
! touch the bottom rs they are going
! down. am not speaking to that class
tonight If there are any who are UNI

=
YOU are bound to do. is to get from
under that power. In this community.
in this nation. YOU must move. YOU
must move forward with will of pur-
( pose and concentrated energy, if You
are to make amy thing of yourself, and
be felt for good in the community.
And yet would not for single mo-
mcnt convey the idea that mere motion
is necessarily progress or advancement.
Almost every day my eye rests. in the

top uf the spirc. Whenever there is II
light wind. it is in continual motion,
but it is not pursuing any thing;
it is not moving any thing; it is not
advancing in the least degree. 1t
is possible to have u certain degree of
movement. and yet have no progress.
We have all seen, and some of us have
enjoyed that fine institution, the New
England rocking-chair. You get into
it. and You swing to and fro in the most
easy and graceful way. You are in
motion all the time, but You are not
making any progress whatever. Now
what we want is not only TO
have people who have escaped
from this law of riS incrtiG, but
pcoplcz.who are moving with will,
ON plan, with adrtinite purpose. NOV
ing forward, and in the direction in
which it is good for them, and safe for
them, and honorable to them, and for
the benefit of the community. that they
should keep moving. DR.. John Hall tC
