On Wills and Willing.
From Scribner's Magazine.

From SCribner'S Magazine.
In the month of December the wills
of two very rich men who died in
New York were made public. One
testatOr left widow and several
children. The other was childless,
but his wife survived him. The
former left the whole of his estate
with the exception of some unim-
portant legacies, to his wife and
children. The other, after providing
for his wife an income sufficient for
her maintenance in reasonable COM
fort during her life, left very
large requests to colleges and
hospitals. HIS heirs-at-law were Fe-
mem bered with modest legacies, and
his execu tors named as residusry leg
atees. These two wills being probat-
ed about the same time, and dispOs-
ing of estates believed to be ofapprox-
imately equal amount, have been
much compared and contrasted, and
have been the subject of amusing
criticism. The testator who left mon
ey to the colleges was lauded and
held up as man of splendid gener-
osity, while the fact that the other
departing millionaire left nothing to
charity was put down in evidence of
his selfishness.
Now, it is q very good plan for very
rich men to leave requests to char
liable uses. But the fact that q man
leaves a great fortune to charity by
his will is no proof at all that he was
a generous man. He doesn't give his
own money, he gives money that
was his; that, perhaps, he held on to
as long as he could, and that neces-
sariIy found q new owner as soon as
the breath passed out of
his body. 1t is impossible to be gen.
erous by will. A will does not give,
it only regulates a division. A will
may be cited in evidence of the tesla.
TORS affection or of his sense of Justice,
but n OF of his generosity; unless, in.
deed, he is known to have denied
himself and saved and accumulated
money, not because he wanted 1t fol
himself, but for the sake of those who
would have 1t after him.
