MY GREAT AUNT'S WILL

IIir.v»-

I am a clerk in a country store and sometimes! wish I'd been a martyr 111 those days when they stretched people on beds ot spikes or roasted them on gridirons. Then I think I could have taken a little comfort in life.

Then she asks me it we take eggs, and I say we do, and we pay 28 cents and she says they're paving 30 cents at the other store and off 6he goes, and I put up the prints, and am down at the farther end of the room turning fragments out of a cracker barrel, when back she comes and wants samples.

We keep the post-office, and by the time I get back to my cracker barrej, in comes a man who wants to know if he hasn't a letter. He never had a letter in his life, and he knows it, and I know it but it is one of those facts that both parties ignore, and I go and look, and give bim the consoling assurance that he hasn't any, and he departs in peace of mind.

Then' there is a lady who wants to match a confounded bit of silk braid, drab bordering on lilac. It takes me five min utes tofind one box of silk braids and five more to find we haven't drab bordering on lilac. Then she wants sewing silk the same shade, and I hunt through all the sewing silks, and there's drab bordering on everything else under the sun except lilac but I know by the way her flounces sweep out that a mercantile house not keeping drab bordering on the liiac stands low.

I get down to the farther end ot the s'ore again, and there comes a man to the front door, and yells out loud enougn for every customer to hear, that he has brought back that barrel of flour says the bread was black and al dough in tne middle. Now thai man understood, when he had that flour, that it was inferior quality, not recommended, and he had it cheap, and took it because it was cheap. I help him to roll the flour in, and I can see that he thinks he has circumvented a villain.

That's the way it goes day after day, week after 'rtreek, and I hate tea, detest saleratus, abhor codfish, and wish calico, cotton cloth,

hooks and eyes,

and all the rest of the wretched necessities of an artificial civilization were at the bottom of the Indian Ocean. I long to be a savage more than I do to be an angel, and I shall be,one of these days, though I do wear cloth suits, and have a, shaving-mug at the barbers, marked in gilt' letters, S* O. Haynes. I wonder that all self-respect and sentiment of humanity hasn't tdfog ?go perished from out of mv bosom. "Such were my reflections one fine morning just after train time, while I was weighing out halt a pound of black tea, wh°rvmv fellow sufferer in the dry-goods and grocery infliction called out. "Here's a lady inquiring for you Sam."

In distinct outline before the door stood a little woman, her skirts spread out bv a tiia- guiar hoop like the skirts of the female figures we used to draw on our slates at school. I came up to make mv bow, and saw she had deposited a brown willow basket on the show-case, and dropped a black glazed oag at her side. She wore a stringy kind of a shawl, with fearfully long fringe, and seemed to be afflicted with numb palsy. "Are you my nephew Sam'well?" ask-

Samuel

She looked at me sharply, as if I was making fun of her. I suppose it is be cause the corners of my mouth turn up, people are always suspecting me of making fun of them. I wish those corners would sink, and wonder they don't. "I'm your only living female relative on the tathors's side," said she.

My business experience with females had been so imbittering, I was glad to learn she was the only one on the father's

As you've no mother, I feel itmy duty to help make a home for you." Instantly I remembered that Aunt Louisa was worth seventy-five thousand. I jhink I learned that fact in early years at he paternal knee, along with^ who made me, and what State I lived in. I know it always stood to my infantile consciousness in the relation of a primary truth. My father, all his life, courted povertv through the medium of dry goods and groceries, and went through bankruptcy as often as the law would allow. During the periodic seasons, before calling the creditors and making an assignment, he used to clasp his hands to his head and ejaculate, 'Lousia might help me if she only would

But Louisa wouldn or at least uuln and whatever mav be thought of her filial affection, mature observation on the oscillations in the molasses and ginger market have convinced me of the soundntss of her judgment. "I'm delighted to see jou, Aunt Louisa. I'll go right down to my board-ing-place with you." "Hence, with a-brown willow basket in one hand and a shiny leather bag in the other, and my great-aunt trotting behind why under heaveti she didn't walk by my side I couldn't see!—we meandered down the street.

We met Evelina Angelia Plimpton. I was engage to Evelina Angelia. I had enjoyed that honor ever since one July evening when there came up a sudden thunder-shower, and she clasped mv arm and ejaculated she was "so tim-id.

with Evelina. Pa Plimton's consent he didn remove his pine from his mouth, but just nodded and pursued his previous train of thought. Evelina smiled patronizingly upon me. Deference to the aged I knew -sl^ considered beautiful.

My aunt didn't like my boarding place, and wasn't pleased with my boardingmistress. She thought we better keep house, and I spent the next fortnight house-hunting with her. The great desideratum seem«d to be the right kind of a "buttery one would have supposed butter was to be the staff of life with us. We at last found a "buttery" on the northwest corner,, opening into both kitchen and dining-room, having the requisite number cupboards, having shelves that admitted of being taken out

as ii the handsome figures I learned to make at Commercial College, I proved to her it wduld be cheapest to hire the car. I had to go to her former place .of abode to pee about getting the things en route, and I had to "meet them with a carriage" at our depot. I felt like a collector of antiquities just getting an assortment over from Egypt. I shall ever feel grateful to the small boys of our village for their self-restraint on this tempting occasion. I don't recollect a sinple opprobrious epithet. They treated my loads with a re^ spect to which nothing but hoary hairs could entitle them.

There was a cheese-press, and I don know but a eider mill there was something, with four temendously heavy legs, I always believed it to be comething in disguise of a bedsiead. There were seven bandboxes (four large and three small), five feather beds, seventeen comfortables, and a great deal of crockery which evidently came over in the Mayflower, but had much better have put back to land in the Speedwell.

I need not say that our residence when furnished nished was neat but not gaudy I slept under a "rL-ing-sun" bed-quili, and had a round broided mat to put my feet on when I got out in the morning. I sighed for my former cosy quarters, but I remembered mv aunt's valuation, and reasoned that if "she was my only living fe-

maic rcwuvi, wi« UPC nnlv friends. of necessity be her only living male relative on the mother's side.

Soon after we were domesticated I found that my aunt was subject to mysterious attacks, which attacks invariably seized her in the night-time, and made it imperative that I should run for the doctor. Liabilities to these attacks precluded the possibility of my oeing away from home evenings, excepting Sunday and Thursday evening, when I was execcted to see my aunt to prayermeetings and attend her home, though Evelina went off in an opposite direction with mother fellow. I didn't know but justice both to myself and Evelina demandeJ that I should have a conversation with my aunt, and set before her, in language which even a child might understand, my views of the duties and priviles of an engaged man but I felt extremely doubtful of her sympathy, and seventy-five thousand was a good deal to

We had one servant, whose wages my aunt thought it right I should pay, because. as she said, if there was no one but herself, she shouldn't keep a girl. Our cuisine was managed with strict regard to economy We lived largely upon soup, which consisted principally of broth. My aunt highly esteemed marrow, bones. I wonder if it is generally known among physiologists how long a healthy person can subsist on a persistently boiled marrow-bone

For two or three y.ears I had been in the habit of smoking a single cigar at the close of the day's labors. One evening I was sitting on the piazza indulging in this luxury, when out came my aunt. "Sam'wel cried she, "are yousmok-

Yes'm," very meekly. "Well," said she, calmly but firmly, "none of my money shall ever go up in cigar-smoke." Theq,*gin, "How mu^b do von pay for cigars!" "Ten cent*." "Now, Sam'wel, I want you to take your pencil and calculate how much ten cents a day will amount to in a year, then how much in fifty years, then I want vou to put this sum 8t compound interest, and. see how much it will amount to by the time you are 75 years of age.

It struck me that I had somehow, fluring my lifetime, met with similar problems. but I conscientiously n.ade the calculation. ,, "Aunt," cried I, "I'm perfectly appalled. Never did I dream of this. Of what mad ex:ravagance have I been guilty!" and wildly I hurled my cigar into the camomile bed.

It became generally known throughout our village that my aunt was wealthy and I was heir-expectant, and I soon perceu ed that, whether or not I ever obtained the gold, I was going to have the glory At a town-meeting, legally called, and *-ith the Moderator in the chair, I was elected one of the nine prudential com-ttee-men: du^v—"to see about getting the wood." Our Sabbath-school appointed me delegate to a Conference at Cummingford: privileges—lose my time pay my own fare, change cars twice, stage it five miles over a country road and through a November land-scape, prospects—address by Deacon 1 hamas Jones: music, that rare and intricate composition, "Shall we gather at the uver?"

I sccured the pos'lion of watchman at our store every other Sunday night. Aunt asked me if I expected extra pay fjr this service, and I said I did. Evelina had talked of green reps lor our parlor, but I found .hat calculations had now ascended to some kind ot ros—colored something, value about ti eble that of the rePAunt

I also give my nephew Samuel Sc with which to buy a refeience Bible in my remembrance, and also the sealed paper ot instructions accompaning this instrument, which I wish him to read a vear hence in the presence of the wit nesses now assembled for the reading ot this my will.

The remainder of my property, both real and personal, with the exception of the legacies hereinafter named, I bequeath to the American Missionary Society, neither legacies nor bequests to be paid until a year and a day hence.

When the lawyer was through reading, I had no clear idea to whom these legacies were devised, but I remarked that the American Missionary Society was a most worthy organization.

The nature of of the will was soon made public. Popular sentiment was that of resignation,' not to say of satisfaction, on mv account. My companions, ho had never seen why deserving merit my case should meet such disproportionate -eward, while their own plodded along on a weekly stipend with no great-aunt estate in prospective, naturally experienced a revival of confidence in the equitable government of the universe. Elderly friends in church and Sabbath school felt that I bad cause for rejoicing in being spared the snares and temptations which accompany wealth. My employer privately expressed the opinion that I had been,'- getting above my business, and he was glad to see me take down a peg. Evelina said,

But not many days after, Evelina told me she had begun to realize what a solemn ordinance was matrimony she and I were both young, aad had our way to make, and she thought perhaps, for the 5SX would or us to c„

sider ourselves onlv friends. I said. "Very well," and felt that I was a lonely bark tossed on a wild and watery waste.

I had read of instances similar to mine wh"re the sealed packet or the old Bible 1 1. 1,„f

To the American Missionary Society I give and bequeath the sum ot $25,000. To my belo red nephew, Samuel O. Haynes, who I hope may have learned, during the year that has elapsed, lessons of wisdom more valuable than money, I bequeath the sum of $25,000, which 1 direct mv executor to pay over to said Haynes' as soon as may be convenient. I farther direct my executor to annually pay to said Haynes the income from the remainder of my property, both real and personal, and to pay from the principal to said Hayes on his thirtieth birthday, if he be living, or to his heirs or assigns it deceased, the sum of $25,000, and to pay to said Haynes on his thirty-fifth birthday the remainder oe my property, be it more or less.
