THE Two BROTEIERS.—In a manuscript in one
ohhe.libraries at Paris, we are told that the Count
de Ligniville and Count de Autricourt, twins, de-
scended from an ancient family in Lorraine, resem-
bled each other- so much, that when ,they put on
the same-kind of dress, which they did now and
then for amusement; their servants could not dis-
tinguish the one from the.other. Their voice, gait,
and deportment were the same, and these marks of
resemblance were 'so perf36t, that they often threw
their friends, and even their wives into the greatest
embarrassment.. Being both captains of light horse,
the one would- put himself at the head of the other's
squadron, without the 'officers ever suspe&ing the
change. Count de' Autticourt having committed
some crime, the COunt de Ligniville river suffered
hiS brother to go out without accompanying him, and
the fear of seizing the innocent.instead of the guilty,
rendered the orders ,taarrest the former of na avail.
One day Caw .t d 3 Ligniville sent for a barber, and
alter having suffered ,him to shave one half of his
beard, he pretended to have occasion to go into the
next apartment, and putting his night gown upon
his brother, wlio-was concealed there, and tucking
the cloth_ which he had about his neck under is
chin, made him sit down in the place which he bad .
just quitted. The barber immediately resumed his
operation, and was proceeding to ffilish what he. had
begun, as he supposed, but to his great astonish-
ment, he fotind, that a new beard bad sprung up.,
Not doubting that the person under his, hands was
. the devii,,he roared out with terror, and sunk down
in a swoon on the floor. Whilst they . were endea-
vouring to call- him to life, -Count de Autricourt re-
tired again into the closet, and Count de Ligniville,
who was half shaved, returned ta his former place.
This was a new Z-..ause'of surprise to the poor barber,
'who now imagined that all he had. seen was 'a
dream, and he could not be, convinced of the truth
until he beheld the -two brothers together. The
sympathy that subsisted bet Ween these brothers was'
no less singhlat, than their resemblance. If one fell
sick, the other was ineisposed also;_ if one received
a wound, the other felt pain and this was the
case with every misfortune that betel them ; so that
on:this account they watched over each other's eon-
with the greatest care 'and attention. But
what is still, more astonishing, they both' often had
the same dreams. The day that Count do' Autri-
• . court vas attacked is Prance by the fever of which
tie died, Count' de Ligniville was attacked by the
atne in Bavaria, -and Was near sunking uwler it.
