 have only given a few of the many questions which asked the Twins during she night; and during the time was ma king my questions, the wife of Change paid the most strict attention and appear ed perfectly absorbed in deep and solemn thought. It had no doubt occurred to her for the first time, that she had united her destines to men given to superstition and idolatry, and whose opinions and feelings on this important subject were perfectly at variance with her own, and from whom she could receive no kind and tender in. structions and feeling on this subject, with which her souls eternal interest was 60 closely connected. This, to her, was no doubt solemn moment; and so il would be 10 all who have been taught to look forward by faith to that city that hath foundations, and whose maker and builder is God
 TAe twins appeared well pleased to have me stop at their house, and begged me to stay week with them. Alter supper some two or three hours we went to bed, they in the big room, but not in tho big bedstead, and in a little room adjoining. The children were put in a trundle bed, and lurs. Chang of course took sides with her husband.
 On next morning they apologized to me for having disturbed my rest by getting up some four or five times. They had girl runaway who had the previous night been seen in their kitchen, and they expected to be able to find her that night.
 The Twins dress very poorly when saw them they had on pants made of country homespun, and cotton osnoburg shirts. They always complain of being very poor, say they must be saving, big family coming, etc. The one being sick, ihe other is similarly affected. The one desiring anything, say pipe, or any other luxury, the other also desires the same thing. When Eng first proposed couriing the Misses Lates, Chang readily consented; but they differed little as to which should have Sarah and which should have Adelaide.
 wish the ladies distinctly to under rtand that in their courtship, there were no secrets among them, but such as were common to the whole. The Twins al. ways selected place wide enough tc enable their y.loves to get on each side.
 The ladies will also understand thai they were married on the same evening by the same Preacher, and retired to res about the same hour. A disposition mani. tested by one for sleep is always readily seconded by the other.
 iasked Eng if he was not lonesome O nights, having his wife 40 miles off! He replied that every dog had his day, and hi, day (or night) would come before long for they intending going to Trap Hill in $ few days, he remarked, then I have wife and my brother have none. If they coulG sell the trap hill place, the two famlie, would then reside together, and the big beadstead and big cradle would be remo ved to Surry county, for the benefit of al concerned.
 The twins can chop wood remarkabl, fast, four hands being on the axe at the same time. They also shoot at mark ol game with their four hands resting on the gun. They drive their wagon 40 mile: 10 Wilkes. themselves; and do any kind O work about farm, Hrs. Eng says that her husband is very kind to the negroes and that Chang is very severe with them, Mrs. Eng is also much better disposed than lIrs. Chang, although Hrs. c. is much the prct,icst. Mrs. Eng is very close and saving and Hrs. Chang is dis posed to indulge in dress and various ether expenses.
 The twins rarely differ about dress but often differ in their ideas of purcha. sing negroes or land. The opinion ol Eng is always the law, and Chang readi. ly acquiesces, Eng does all the writing including the signing of notes and other important papers. Eng is one inch taller than Chang, and Chang's wife is taller than Eng's.
 Some old lady in the neighborhood, a few days ago, asked Eng which was the oldest 2 and he replied that he was just
