"I BEQUEATH to my executor (or executors) the sum of ____ dollars
in trust, to pay the same in ____ days after my decease to the
person who, when the same is payable, shall act as Treasurer of
the 'American Missionary Association' of New York City, to be
applied, under the direction of the Executive Committee of the
Association, to its charitable uses and purposes."
The Will should be attested by three witnesses [in some States
three are required--in other States only two], who should write
against their names, their places of residence [if in cities,
their street and number]. The following form of attestation will
answer for every State in the Union: "Signed, sealed, published
and declared by the said [A. B.] as his last Will and Testament,
in presence of us, who, at the request of the said A. B., and in
his presence, and in the presence of each other, have hereunto
subscribed our names as witnesses." In some States it is required
that the Will should be made at least two months before the death
of the testator.

=SABBATH READING.=--Seeing that all Sunday magazines and the
greater part of religious weeklies have much secular matter in
them, especially advertisements, I have thought that there was an
obvious want of a weekly paper composed of matter of a high order
of excellence and interest, and wholly suitable for perusal on
the Sabbath day. Such a paper is SABBATH READING. Every number
contains a first-class sermon, which may be read in meetings
where there is no preaching service, or at home by persons
necessarily detained from church; also much excellent selected
matter, some of which is specially adapted for children.
SABBATH READING is a handsome small eight-page paper, suitable in
appearance for the parlor table, and suitable for binding at the
end of the year or half year. It is sent post-paid to any address
for 50 cents a year, and stops when subscription expires. A club
of five will be supplied for a year for two dollars.
This paper, which makes a most acceptable tractate for
distribution in prisons, poor-houses, asylums, ships, etc., or in
visitation from house to house, is sent post-paid to any part of
the continent at the rate of a dollar per 100 copies. Orders and
remittances to be sent to the undersigned.

=The Model Magazine.=--A combination of the entertaining, the
useful, and the beautiful, with fine art Engravings and Oil
Pictures in each number worth more than its cost.
