The following will, it is claimed,
was written by an insane man, who
died in an asylum: it is regarded as
a very remarkable document, and one
most beautifully expressed:
II, Charles Lounsbury, being of
sound mind and disposing memory,
do hereby make and publish this, my
justly as may be to distribute my in
terest in the world among the sue
ceeding men.
THAT part of my interest which is
known in law and recognized in the
sheep-bound volumes as my proper
ty, being inconsiderable and of no
account, I make no disposal of in
this will.
my right to live, being but a life
estate, is not at my disposal, but
these things excepted all else in the
world I now proceed to devise and
beQueath:
Item: l give to good fathers and
mothers, in trust for their children,
all good little words of praise and
encouragement, and all quaint pet
names and endearments, and I
charge said parents to use them just
ly and generously, as the needs of
their children may require.
Item: I leave to children exclu-
sively, but only for the terms Of their
chi Nod, all and every, the flowers
Of th> IDS and the blossoms of the
woods, the right play among
them freels according to the GUS
toms of chilaren, warning them at
the same time against thistles and
thorns. And I devise to children the
banks of the brooks, and the golden
sands beneath the waters thereof,
and the odor of the willows that dip
! therein, and the white clouds that
float high over the giant trees. And
I leave the children the long, long
days to be merry in, in thousand
ways, and the night and the moon
and the train Of the Milky Way to
wonder at, but subject nevertheless
to the rights hereinafter given to
| lovers.
Item: devise to boys jointly
all the useful idle fields and com
mons where ball may be played; all
! pleasant waters where one may
swim; all snowfall hills where one
may coast and all streams and ponds
where one may fish, or where, when
grim winter comes, one may skate ;
TO have and to hold the same for the
period Of their boyhood. And ali

and butterflies thereof, the woods

rels and birds, and echoes and
strange noises, and all distant places
which may be visited, together with
the adventures there found, and I
give to said boys each his own place
at the flreside at night, with all pic
lures that may be seen in the burn
ing wood, to enjoy without let or
hindrance, and without any incum-
brance of care.
Item: To youths, I devise their
inspiring sports of rivalry, and I give
to them the disdain Of weakness and
undaunted confidence in their own
strength, though they are rude.
give them the power to make lasting
friendships and Of possessing conn.,
paniOns, and to them exclusively ]
give all merry songs and brave cho-
ruses, to sing with lusty voices.
item: To lovers, I devise their
imaginary world, with whatever
they may need, as the stars Of the
sky, the red roses by the wall, the
bloom of the hawthorne, the sweet
strains of music and aught else by
which they may desire to figure to
each other the 1astingness and beau
ty of their love.
'Item: And to those who are no
longer children or youths or lovers,
I leave memory, and l beQueath to
them the volumes of the poems of
Burns and Shakespeare, and of other
poets, if there be others, to the end
that they may live over the old days
again, freely and fully, without 1.-THE
or diminution.
'Item: To our loved ones with
snow crowns I bequeath the happi.
ness Of old age, the love and graft
tude of their children, until they fall
