TuE Two Bn ern Eas.—ln a manuscript in ens
the li')raries.at Paris, we are told that the Count de
Ligniville and Count de Autricourt, twins, de-
scended from an antient family in Lorraine,• resem.
blest each other so much, that when they put en the
sante kind of dress, which they did now and then
for amusement, their servants could nut diatinguah
the one from the other. Their voice, gait, and de-
portment were the same, and these marks of resent-
blance were so perfect, that they often threw their
friends, and even their wives, into the greatest em.
barrassment. Being both Captains of light horse,
.the one would put himself at the bead of the other''
squadron, without the officers ever suspecting the
change. Count de Autricourt having committed
some crime, the Count ,de Ligniville never snffered
his brother to go out without accompanying him,
and the fear of seizing the innocent instead of the
guilty, rendered the orders to arrest the former of
ne avail. One day Count de. Ligniville sent for a
barber, and after having suffered him to shave one
half of his beard, he pretended to hive occasion to
go into the neat apartment, and putting his night.
gown upon his brother, who was concealed there,
and tucking the cloth which he had about his neck,
under his chin, made him set down in the place which
he had just quitted. The barber immediately re.
slimed his Operations and was proceeding to finish.
what he had begun, as he supposed, but to his veal
astuoi.thment he found that a new beard had sprung
on. Nut doubting that the person +tiier his hands
was the devil, he roared out with terror, and sunk,
down in a swoon on the Hour. Whilst- they were.
endeavouring to can. him to life, Count die Atari.'
court retired again' intd,the closet, and Count de
Ligniville, who was hashaved, returned to his for.
met' place. The was. 4 nett cause of surprise to
the pndr barber, whti snow intigined that all he had
seen was a drean,land he could not be convinced of
the truth nntilltei beheld (be two brothers together.
The sympathy .fiat subsisted between these bro.
thers was no less singular thin their resemblance.
If one fell sick, the other was indisposed also ; if
one reCeivett a mound, the other felt pain ; and this
was the case with every misfortune that betel them,
so that on this account they isatched .over each
other's conduct with the greatest Care and attention.
But what iv still more astonishing, they both often
had the tlametlreanis. The day that Count de Au.
tricourt was attacked in France by the fever of
which he..died, Count tie Ligniville was attacked:
by the same in Bavaria) and was near sinking
soder it.
