THE WILL. { 11 wrb a little oiler midnight that a 1 kuock came to tlje door of the cabin. 1 I heard it firtt, Ibr I used to Bleep iu a little snug basket near the Are; but I J didn't apeak for I was frightened. It ati(J Repented louder, anil then ' camoRery: ' CouCYrRRn; Con, liar, ' open the door; I want you.'' I knew ' the voice wall! it wiu l'etcr McCabc*; I pretended to be but -asleep, anil ' •uored loudly. At but my father unthe doiir and I heard him my: ' '• Oh, Mr. Peter, what's the matter? 1 it the old man worm?1' "Fatx, that's what he is; for he's , dead!" " Glory bo his bed; when did it hap-i-i- " About an hour ago," said Peter in voice that even I, Dora my corner, could perceive greatly agitated. " lie ' died like all old hat hen, Coo, and never ' made a will!" "That's bod," aaid my Dither, for ' was always a polite man; and said ' whatever was pleasing to the pompany. "It U hod," Raid Peter, "but it , would lie worse if be couldn't help iL listen to me now Coney; I want you ! to help nie in this business, ang here five guineas in gold if ye do what I , bid you. . Yon know that you were ' always reckoned the image of my lather and before ho took III js were mistaken for each other every day of The week." " Anan! •' said my father; for he ' was getting lightened at the notion ' without well-knowing why. ' "Well, what I want i» for ye to come over Into the house and get into [ the bed. " '* Not beside the eorpae?'' said my ! futher, trembling. " By no means, but by yourself; aod you're to pretend to be my father, and that ye want to malp yrr will before 1 ye die; aod then I'll 'send lor the neigh- ' bars, and Billy ttK school- ' master, and ye'U tell him what to ' write, Waiving al) the farm and evwythlng to me— ye understand.'

As It wat, when I reached the house the pcrformanee had already begun. 3. 1 think i see the whole Welle this insbinl before my eyca, as i sat id a litre tie window, with one pane, and that a broken one, and surveyed the proceedings. It was a targe room, at one end i, at which was a bed, and beside it was ». a table with phytic bottles and spoons and teacups; a little (briber* off was another table at which sot BUI ScanIon with all manner of writing matc- * rials before him. _ ^ sometimes three deep round the walls, „ all intently eager and anxious for the coming event. Petc{ himself went " from place to place, trying to smother ,, his grief, £nd occasionally helping the company to whisker, which was supplied with more than accustomed libcrd ality. All my consciousness of the deceit and trickery could not deprive the scene of a certain solemnity. The * misty distance of the half-lighted room; the H%h!y wrought cxpresson of the country people's faces, never more intensely excited than al some moment c like this; the low, dcep-drnwii hrcath- ' tlio tribute of affectionate sorrow to |" thus forcibly brought hack; these were | nil so real iliat, as I looked a thrilling u sense of awe stole over me and I aetu- j ally shook with fair. corner where the bed stood seemed to cause even a deeper stillness; and then, in a silence where the buzzing of a Ay 1 would lures been heard, my Aither s " Where's Billy Scantau! I want to make my will." * " lie's here, father," said i'eter, taking Billy by the hand, und leading him to the bedside. " " Write about I bid ye, Billy, and be ' i quick, for I haven't a long lime before me here. 1 die a good Catholic, though Dither O'RaOerty won't give - me the funeral rites." , A general chorus of muttered " O! mushn, muslin!" was now heard i through the room; hut whether in ' grief over the, sad fate of the dying 1 man, or the unAinching severity of the 1 priest, is bard to say. " I die in peace with all my neigh- ' bors and aU mankiud." . seemed 16 approve these characteristic j expressions. i V I bequeath unto my sou lVter— { und uevcr was there a better sou, or a deccnter!— have you that down? I he- 1 queath unto my son Peter, the whole ' 1 of my two Dimis of Kililiimmdooney nnd Kuocksheboora, with the fallow - i luiadows behind Lyuch's houac, llu- 1 forge and right of tllrf on the Dooron 1 I give hlro— and much good may 1 it do him— Lanty Citssaro'a acre and f.uary AeUls, with the iitue kiln; and ' that reminds me that my mouth is ] just as dry. Let mo taste what ye tiavc in the Jug." Here the dying took a very', hearty pull, and seemed considerably refreshed by iL 1 " Where was I, Billy Scan tan? '• says be; "oh, 1 remember; at the lime 1 kiln. I leave Win— that's Fetor, I ' mean— the two potato gardens at Xoo- ' nan's Well; and it is the elegant crops 1 grow there.'' "Ainl you getting weak, father. 1 darling? " says Peter, who began to j 1 !m. afraid of my father's loquacious- : for to say the truth, the punch got into his brad, and he was greatly 1 disposed to talk. • " I am, Peter, my son," says bo; 1 "Ism getting weaker; just touch my lips again with the jug. Ah! Peter, 1 Peter, yon watered the drink." "No, indeed, Dither, but it's the ' taste is leavin' yon,'' rays Peter, and ' ngntn a low chorus of commpassionate 1 pity murmured through the cabin. I " Well, I'm nearly dope, now," say* my Dither; there's only oue plot of ground remaining, and I put it on you, Peter— as ye wish to live a good uian, and die with the name easy heart as I 1 do now— that ye mind my last words ' ye hen*. Are ye listening? are the ' neighbors listening? is Billy ffeahtan ' listening? " " Yea, sir, yes. Dither we're all mind- 1 chorused the audience. 1 . "Weil, then, its my last will and ' testament, and may— give use the jug" —here he took a long driuk— "and | that blessed liquor be poison to ■ tne If I'm not as eager about this as 1 every other part of the will; I ray, then, ' I bequeath the little plot at the cross ' roads to poor Con Cretin, for he has a ' heavy charge.

Be a 1 friend to him, Peter, dear; never Wt him want while ye have it yereeir— ' think oT me oa my death bed when- J ever he asks ye for any trjAq.— Is It ' down, Billy Sam tan? tlie two acres at ' the cross roods to Coo C'regan and his ' in BBTfaBBCfariM.

When they were all gone Peter slipped bock to my fethef, .who waa putting on his brognes. "Con," says be, , ye did It all well; but .ore that wa. a Joke about the two acres at the cross i " Of oourse it was." Peter, rit* be.
