I., whohas such indexes , was lately had and hismanuscript examined inn general mannerbut not with a viow to doterming its en-tiro accuracy, as this could only bo doneby comparing it with tha ori ginal in thoN. Y. Surrogate 's office. Wo find thatMr. Potty 's index covers about 000 willsof earl y residents of Suffolk County,covering a period between about 1CI50and 1788, recorded iu N. Y. City, pur-suant to law at that period , and of whichthere has boon no record made in thoSurrogate 's office, or auy public deposi-tary in Suffolk county. Mr. Petty alsohns ubatiaclfl 'of those willn , which latterwork is necessaril y quite voluminous ,covering, as claimed by Mr , Potty, 'allthe wills above referre d to. The indexesand abstracts are believed to fluf ficion ilyrefer to page and volume of tho recordsin the N. Y.

whom she didnot lovo, there came of ten, 10 the mother a heart the question , "Is. she happy ?" which no knowled ge of the! beauties and luxur ies by which she wassurrounded , or the ease and elegance ofthe life she might leao", could still.Tho pros peols bri ghtened in the quietcountry uome that Helen had left. Theheavy weight of embarassm ent that hadthreatened her father with ruin was light-. eued , and he waa himself again, the kind: and cheerful husband , full of sanguinei hopes for the future. Fr ank y, tbo bri ght ,am bitious Frank y, was most happy bythe promotion to a higher school, and.surrounded with every advantag e that; his active intellect might crave. But, asj months passed by, and Helen's letters; spoke only of the gayety of her outer life,| and nothin g of what was going on with -i in her heart , still to Mr s. Irving, as she! eat in her quiet eitling-room , where shej so sadly missed the cheerful , health y¦sp irit of her only daug hter , came thequestion , now burdened with sad yearn-inga, "Is she happy?" The promised

I visit ho'j ie was postponed from time to' time by some slight excuse : '-Fred didn 't; like the country ;" or , "• some guests werej expected from abroad ;" or , " Fr ed wish-led her to spend a few weeks at Sar atoga. ", Helen wro te : " Perhaps after that theyj might come ;" for how could sh& writej that her husba nd was ashamed of her( country relations , or that she could not' meet the reproof she merited in the calmI Sad gaze of the youn g clergyman , GeorgeAlerryl ? Thus months passed by, and

I Helen 's letters grew less frequent , whileher mother 's quick eye detected the effort

I with which they were written to hide theI sadu »ss on her heart. " Fr ed was diningj at the club ," or , "Fred was gone outj with a party of gay young men on a fish-I ing excursio n." By and by the lettersj ceased altogether. A month had passed ,laud no word from Helen ; her mother 'si restless anxiety knew no bounds , till one' morning an envelope was placed in her: hands , with tho familiar writing again ,; and in a few hur ried words Helen claimed! her mothor 's" sympath y in her new-fcundI joy. The long pot-up fountains of heriovo gushed forth , aad her sad heart| won.id itsel f with a passionate idolatry: around h*r child. Fied , too, was fondlan d proud tof his " son and heir ," as the| child gave promise of uncommon beauty ;| and the forced gayety of the wife gave: place to the earnest , truthful , and pas-sionate fondno s.s of the mother.| * » * » « •

" Now, indeed , I must go to hor ," paidMrs. Irving, as she read the words ofwild and fearful agony with which ' Helenwrote of tho dangerous illness of her ido-lized darling Three days later shecross ed, for tho first time, tbo thresholdof betv daughter 's beautiful home. Itsoppressive stillness seemed - nigh crush-ing her/' Tho servant shushed their foot-falls on tho utniro ; the doors wore softlyclosed as if fearful .of disturbing tho lit-tle sleeper above.

I tone of agony piorcod her motlier 'o heart:I "Mother , I have no toar o t my heart inI turned to otono. " With the same fearfulj calmness uho watched them lay her beatftiful treasure in his littJo narro w bed ,

"For want of * nail the Ultoe wai lost ;For want of a shoe the horse was lost;For want of a borso the rider waa loet—And all for the want of a horse shoe nail. "This is said to be originall y taken from

actual history—of a certain aid-de-campwhose horse fell lame on a retreat anddelayed him until the enemy overtookhim and killed him.

Another nclnal case, embodying lbssame lesson ligaiust tho lazy and shiftlesshabit of "letting things go." is re lated bytho French political economist , M. Say.

Once , at farm at tho country, there wasa gale enclosing the cattle and poultry,which ' was constantly Kwing ing open forwant of a proper latch. The expend itureof a penny or two, and "a few minutes 'time , would have made all right. It wason tho awing every time a person wentout , and not being in a state to sbulreadil y, many of the poultry wer e fromtime to time lost.

One day a lino young porker made hisescape , and tho whole famil y, with thegardener , cook and milkmaid , turned outin quest of the fug itive. The gardenerwas the first to disco rer tho pig, and inleaping a diteh to cut off his escape , hegot a sprai n that laid him up for a fort-night.

The cook on returning to tho farm -house found tbo linon burned that shehad han g up before the fire to dry, andthe milkmaid having forgotten , in herhaste , to tie up the cattle in tho cow-bouse , found that one of the loose cowsbad broken thu leg of a colt that happen -ed to be kept in tho same theft.

The linen burned and the gardene r'swork lost were worth fiilly 100 francs ,and tho colt was worth nearl y double thatmoney ; so that here vras .a loan in a fewminutes of a large sum, purely for wantof a little latch which might have beensupplied for a few half-pence. - - Youth'sCompanion .
