Stevenson in the presence 81 her
aunt. Mrs. Hardy, Mr.. Hardy
being Immediately called in from
an adjoining room, and read the
will at the request Of Mrs. Stew
enson.
AS it will be seen, this will re-
manned and existed for nearly five
years unalterol or unchanged,
ample time having been afforded
for reflection or change of senti-
ment, but it ia allowed to subsist
as the free act and fixed prefer
ence of the testator. This long
period of time which interviewed
between the execution of the viii
and the death of Governor Stew
enson clearly manifests his deli
berate, settled intention and pur-
pose as to the distribution
of his estate, and, precludes the
assumption of improper control in
its execution. II the provisions
Of the will were repugnant to his
wishes, he had every possible OPP
portunity during this period to
revise or revoke; that he did not
do SO is most pronounced cir
cumstance indicating his deter
minatien to adhere to his act, and
excludes the presumption that
the will was the result Of undue in
fuence, and was other than his
voluntary, satisfied act and settled
desire.
While I might seriously differ
with and deplore the conduct of
father as apparently unnatural in
leaving to his sons such a small
legacy of his estate, still he had
the unquestioned power and right
to do as he saw fit with his prop
erty, and the law cannot interpose
or Illustrate such settled prefer
ence, expressed by the parents, il
the act by which it is done is done
with freedom and with testament
airy capacity. An instrument of
this solemnity, 50 deliberately
made, cannot be set aside or avoid
ed, except for sufficient legal rea-
sons.
Shortly preceding his death, and
conscious that he could not live
and being of clear mind. Cover
nor Stevenson called his son Ed
ward to his bedside, and said to
him: eddie, I want you to make
me a solemn promise before 1 go,
and that you will be good to
Ellen; love and cherish her, assist
her in her business, and do every
thing you can for her; she is worthy
of your love. I have made will,
etc. and identified his will. This
conveys the belief that his affec-
ton for his wife was very great,
and that he intended to confirm
the act af making his will, and TO
cave his property distributed only
according to its provisions.
The proofs in the case being
clearly insufficient to establish any
such state OF facts as will invali-
date the will, it is ordered that
the will be admitted to probate;
that Ellen NJ. Stevenson be APP
pointed executrix, without bonds.

THE USE OF BOOKS.
Their Instrumentality in MOliing the
Minds of Men.

Civilized society is always in danger
of reading too much and thinking too
little There are lots of men in the
world who have read more than is good
for them. Literary seed sown in the
best ground may spring up and bring
forth men of whom Erasmus or Goethe
are the most famous types, men in
whom culture has produced that almost
irritating absence of dogmatism, which
Mr.. Matthew Arnold called "sweet rea-
soma bleness." Books. too, may aid in
producing clear intellects, like John
Stuart Mill, whose mind has been COM
pared to perfect and exact ma
chine into which one put a
question and out came the right
answer. Books will aid still
more in developing men with the mar
velous and learned memory of Macau-
lay. All these classes of men may be
good takers of their several kinds.
But literary culture, alas! may also
produce men whose talk is learned, yet
feeble, inconsequent, and, worse STILL
lacking in human interest. They are
rather books than men. They have
laid so many volumes on their heads
that their brains will not move. Liter
| airy feebleness is worse because more
artificial than natural feebleness.
Terrible are they who, without ca
pacity for using knowledge skillfully,
deem it their duty to seem learned
and clever in society. An Oxford pro.
fessor, when staying at a country house
used to know how much he owed to
himself and how much was expected
| from him at dinner; and So as everyone
was made to understand, he retired to
his room an hour or two beforehand in
order to read up and so prepare the
feast of wit and learning. That profess
sor is dead now, and it says much for
human endurance that he is understood
to have died natural death. But. &C
cording to another professor-Prof.
Mahaffy, of Dublin-there was, or per-
| haps still is, another such social evil
roaming among us-a college don
who carried his own peculiar Joe
Miller in his pocket, and used to peep
at it under the table and refresh" 1t
is easy to credit the assurances that this
was regarded as far the best joke
about the don, and that the daughter
before he spoke was always greater
than when he had sped his shaft" How
much more fortunate was the Autocrat
of the Breakfast Fable! He met and de-
| lighted in a gentleman who said, sweet
ly and honestly: 81 hate books" 81

A Peculiar Plant.

There is curious plant, said to be q
native of Palestine, but which is found
in some parts of England, called the
Calvary clover, from certain peculiari-
ties of it's growth. The seed must be
sown in the spring, superstitious people
say on Good Friday, if one expects the
plant to thrive. The leaves, which re-
semble the common trefoil, or three
leaved clover, show deep red spot,
like freshly-spilt blood, as soon as they
appear above ground. This remains
for some weeks, then gradually dies
away. During the day the three leaf
lets stand erect in the form of cross,
with head upright and arms are
brought together, and the upper leafet
is bowed over them as if in prayer. In
due time small yellow flower appears,
and after that little spirol pod cover
ed with sharp thorns. AS it ripens
these thorns interlace with one another
and form globular head which bears
striking resemblance to crown of
thorns. These peculiarities sufficiently
explain the name of Calvary clover

Round Dining Tables.

Round tables are becoming more and
more established in fashionable favor
as the proper shape for the dinner
board. For some time the small, round
ones have been used at supper parties,
and now the English social season is
emphasizing the use of the dinner size.
1t is an old fashion revived, and artistic
dinner-givers will welcome it. A table
can be SO prettily laid when all the COW
ers radiate from a common center. The
circular boards are decidedly more So
ciable, too. Just as changing COM
pany from one room to another disturbs
and chills social warmth, so turning a
corner at the table splits the unanimity
of the circle, divides the diners into
groups, and the amalgamation of talk
is prevented. The change, too, will be
welcome one to frequent dinner.

Tho Single Tax Will Do til
THE Standard.)

A Belgian firm has completed negotl-
ations with the city of Woonsocket, r.
l., which will result in their putting up
factory in that city for the nr,1ufac-
ture of fine wooden and worsted yarns,
which are now being made by them in
Liege, Belgium The factory, when
completed, will employ from five hun
bred to one thousand hands. The
Woonsocket city government is COM
posed of men who know a good thing
when they see it. They know that the
establishment of this factory, and the
employment of five hundred to one
thousand more ''hands" in Woonsocket
means adding to the wealth of that city;
SO they have arranged to furnish at
nominal price a site for the factory and
have agreed to exempt all improve
ments made by the factory owners on
that site for a certain term of years. The
Belgians have seen the advantage con-
tanned in this offer, and are acting on
it, like the shrewd business men they
are. If we of New York city could
make the same kind of offer to manu-
facturers generally, every piece Of
vacant land on this island would have a
factory on it in a short time. But until
those who are now holding our lands
! are made to loose their hold, we will
not be able to emulate the little Rhods
