of the presidential election in all the states in one

Tile SidmeSe I}cinS.--'You may be
aware that some few years since, the ST.
amese Twins, Chang and Eng, retired
from the public gaze, and settled down in
this county (WlIkes) as farmers. You
will also rccoIlec,, that during last year it
was published IN some Of the newspapers
that they had married two sisters. This
notice was treated as hoax by some of
the Journals, and | incline to think that
public opinion settled that the twins were
still living in single blessedness. TO my
surprise | find that the supposed hoax is
literal fact; and that these distinguished
characters are married men, Mrs. G..
and Mrs. E. are well known to several OF
my personal acquaintance, and are said
to be very amiabe and Industrious. Each
of the ladies has presented her particular
lord with an heir, in the person of fine,
fat, bouncing daughter!'
1t is said that Chang and Eng, with
their wives and children, contemplate ma
king tour through this country in a year
or two. The twins enjoy excellent health
are very lively, talkaliye, and apparent.
~ happy; and will doubtless prove more
interesting and attractive in their second
tour than they did in their first over the
civilized world. Having families to pro.
vide for, as prudent husbands and fathers
they may think their bachelor fortune in
sufficient for all the little Changs and
Engs of which they now have the prom

TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER

1t was night when | awoke from long
sleep, with sense restored; | was alone in the
darkencd chamber, and the rays of the de-
clinng moon were but dmlv visible through
the curtains. An involuntary shud1cl all at
once came over me; ! felt as if the damp air
of the grave was gathering around; my eyes
were fixed and dstended, and yet gazing on
vacancy. Everything was so still it seemed
as If the last few moments were passing before
the clarion Of heaven would summon all to
Judgment. Suddenly the midnight bell rang
out the hour, and, with one loud shrek, leap
ed from the bed and fell heavily on the floor
cannot describe the feeling of that moments;
1t could only be the association of an instant
with the dscncumbered soul of him loved
the last embrace ere he crossed the threshold
of eternity.
Need tell more, My husband had been
seized and brought to trial as deserter by the
information of the wretch who had vowed that
this should be the penalty of my resistance of
his foul lust. Condemnation and degrading
punishment were certain; and Morgan, who
would have faced every danger with courage,
recoiled at the hare idea of the torturng lash,
and sought a sure release from life in an at
tempt to escape from his cell. He fell by the
fire of the guard, as the clock struck twelve,
on the very night awokc!
| have done. The fend who thus destroy
ed my every hope has gone to answer for his
crimes, and receive his punishment; his poor
wife had long before, broken-hearted, sunk un-
der his increasing cruelty and neglect; and, as
his eyes were fast closing to all of earth, he
learned that the poor man he had so heartess
" hurried to an untmely end was his own son,
the offspring of his guilt.
This worlds pomp and luxury followed the
apostae priest to his last bourne, and the loud
Te Deum was chantcd over the gilded tomb;
but the virtuous and good will gam their re-
ward where the mighty Judge of all the earth
is no respecter of persons.'
