MARCH. 1891. “Who Struck Bi!!v * Patterson” A FAMOUS MYTH A'iljiafli Patterson’s Wi 1 !, AX IKTttBESTING DOCUMENT. I have never sought for offices ef honor or profit when I have in any way acted in a public capacity. It was from s sense of duty which I could not well nvoi,d for I considered that every good eiti/ m should con¬ tribute moie or less for the good of society when he can do it without too much loss or inconvenience 1o himself. I always considered It a duty due t■> my family t > keep llitm as much as possible under my own eyes, so that I have seldom in my l’fe left home either on business or pleasure since I had a family. My great desire to keep my sons in view induced me to pass them all (seven in number) through my own count¬ ing house. This was a kind of use¬ ful finish to their education as it gave them a knowledge of accounts and business, and qualified them for fu¬ ture Mto, be their pursuit what it might, and ever since I have had a house it has been an invariable rule with me to be the last up at night and to see that the fires and lights were aecure before I retired myself; from which I found two advantages, one was that there was little or no risk from fire under ruy own roof and the other that it induced my family to keep regular hours. I in¬ herited nothing of consequence from my fore-father, nor have I benefited anything irom public favor or ap pointment. "What I poscssis solely ihe fruits of my own industry and labor, and what I shall leave my descendants ought to satisfy them in a country and under a government like ours where industry, frugality and merit are the only sure and eer- tain road to respect and consequence, t think it was Dr. Franklin who ob¬ served that he would have no ob¬ jection to live his life over again, provided it was so ordered. In this I cannot altogether agree with ti e Doctor. My life has been so at¬ tended with care and anxiety, and had I the option I can not say that 1 would desire it. Yet if I had in \ life to Jive ever again I am not con¬ scious t .at I could improve it iii any particular or at any period. I have thought it, neeessaiy to say this mueh for the benefit of my descend¬ ants, and by way of justification for the contents of my following will, wherein it may be c< nsidered by some that I have been aathei Iibersl in tbe legacies and bequests I shall make, OiCcrwise than to my family and connections. _ l , 11 Ln name ot God amen ! l.Wir«»r»ttc r of the city ie , and the State of Mary- land, .munai.t, Icing of sound disposing mind, memory and under standing, prai-ed be almighty Goa tor the same, do hereby make, ordain and publish this as my last will and testament, iii manner and form fo!- lowing, viz.: 1st.

My son John, also received from me very consider¬ able sums of money for the purpose of settling respectably as a farmer in the State of Virginia. At the time and times I made these large advanc¬ es m money to my said sons, Wil- liaja and John, they would have amounte ito their full proportion of the then whole estate, had my estate been then sold and converted into ready money. It therefore results that neither my said son John, nor my grandson William, son of Wil- liam, are in reason or justice entitled | to any part or portion of the prop- i sessed of.
