the close Friday afternoon. He was not
disposed TO lay much stress upon the argu-
ment OF counsel on the other side, that the
| right 10 make will only existed upon
statutory grounds, and argued at length
that man had q right 20 90 as he pleased
with his own. He held that the power 10
dispose OF property was the great lever by
Whlch man kept and maintained his hold

| his comliness of person in his old age,
ana no longer had that attractiveness
which was his when young. The young
man went a-woolng with a ballad made TO
ms mistress eve brow. He climbed up 10
her balcony window, and said
Lady, by yonder blessed moon swear
Ihat tips with silver all this fruit-tree tops''-
And she says
"Oh swear not by the moon-the inconstant
moon,
Which monthly changes IN her circled orb,
Lest thy love be likewise variable"
And thus he swears he is constant. The
ola man does not a-wOoing 20 with n ballad
made To his mistress eyebrow but he
goes with marriage settlement He tells
not or his love but of his houses and lands
and tocks and herds These were the
things he told mis- love and without them
ne would be at the mercy OF the younger
lover, who has no wealth, but whose lady
often said OF him To the older lover:
Whose cheeks are cherry red,
And your neeces are not no nne
As the curls upon his head"
And the young man very often won the
day.
Mr. Russell ran along in this strain for
quite time, setting forth the disadvantages
OF old age and its right to protect itself
through the medium Of . will, and then
passed along to tell
