WHY HE DID IF
The Level Headed Act of an Heir to a F,

The deed was done. A bright flash in the grate and all was over. Morti. mer Maxwell had burnt his uncle's will. He and his three brothers would inherit the estate equally.
 Why did he do this thing? His uncle had loved him and had treated his wild escapades with leniency. And when the old man realized that his health was failing, his heart yearned for the handsome, wayward youth, and he made a will leaving his entire fortune to Mortimer Maxwell.
 It was this document that fell into the young mans hands. After he read it he buried his face in his hands and remained for some moments in pro- found thought. Suddenly he started up and cried: "It must not be! Nv brothers shall never have an opportu. nity to contest this will and let this princely fortune be devoured by inc. greedy cormorants of the law, No,.. shall they lay the flattering unction to, their souls that they have bluffed me. into an amicable settlement"
 And he destroyed the will as above. mentioned.
 Then he went forth into the air with the free, glad step of man who thinks ne has level head.-Life.

Marriage of the Dead.

A strange custom prevails among certain tribe in :he Caucasus.

I'll give you my daughter, and syou shall deliver to me the marriage por- ton in return" A friendly offer of this description is never rejected, and the two parties soon come to terms as to the amount of dowry, which varies according to the advantages possessed by the girl in her lifetime. Cases have been known where the young mans father has given as much as thirty cows to secure dead wife for his dead son. .-Buch fur Ale.
