ANCIENT RuINs.-The ruins of ancient cities
of immense magnitude and extent, have long
been known to exist in several islands the Pa
cifc ocean, the origin and existence Of which,
history furnishes no account. In oneof the Lad
rome islands, groupe lying in latitude 16 deg.
north, and longitude ITO deg. east, some two
thousand miles from the coast of China, are the
stupendous ruins Of one Of these ancient cities.
The Vineyard Gazette, published at Edartown,
gives an account of a visit to these ruins by Cap
tain Alfred K. Fisher, of the Nantucket whale
ship America. The principal street was three
miles long, and the buildings all of stone of a
dark color, and of the finest material. Near the
centre of the street were twelve solid stone col
umns, near fifty feet in height, and ten in diam,
eter at the base, surmounted by stone caps Of
immense weight. From the principal avenue
other streets diverge at regular intervals and at
right angles. The ruins of the whole city were
overgrown with trees of ancient gigantic growth.
The native inhabitants, nor the Spaniards, in
whose possession the island is at present, could
give no account of the founders of the city. 1t
seems to be counterpart of those Central Amer
ican cities, the record of whose people is blotted
from the memories of men,

The ORATOR AND THE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
rare the orator, one Of the nobest vehicles for
the diffusion Ct thought, with the Newspaper,
and we may gain faint glimpse Of the ubiquiti-
Gus power Of the latter. The orator speaks to a
few hundred, the newspaper addresses millions.
The words of the orator may die in the air; the
language Of the newspaper is stamped on tables
imperishable. TIE arguments Of the orator may
follow each other so rapidly that the majority Of
the audience may struggle in net Of ratiocina-
ton; the reasonings Of the newspaper may be
scanned at leisure, without fear Of perplexity.
The passion Of an orator ilfames an assembly !;
the feeling of newspaper clectrfes a continent
The orator is for an ediice; the newspaper for a
world; the one shines for an hour; the other for
all time. The orator may be, compared to the
lightning, which flashes over a valley for mo-
ment, but to leave it again in darkness; the
newspaper to a sun blazing steadily over a whole
earth and 'tixed on the basis of its OWN eternity"
Printing has been happily defined "the art
preservative of all arts" Printing makes the
orator himself more than an orator. 1t catches
up his dying words, and brcalhes into them the
breath Of life. 1t the speaking gallery through
which the orator thunders in the ears of ages.

S1AMEsE Tw1Ns.-Many of our readers, land
particularly our distant readers) arc unacquainted
with the fact that these interesting brothers row
live near Mount Airy, surry County, N. c. We
lately visited them at their residence, and was
pleased to find them very intelligent and hospi-.
table.-They were born in May, 1911, of Chi.
nesc parents at the city of Maklong. They have
travelled very extensively throug ghout Europe,
and have visited all the United States except IL,
nois and Missouri. They have very letentive
memory of things and persons, and are free to.
communicate any information they possess. En-
dued with fine common sense, they exhibit a
great deal of fact in their business transactions,
and have the reputation among their neighbors
of being strictly honest. = ssSkE
We learned that they were very expert in the
us use Of gun, and take great pleasure in hunting.
They run fast, and walk sometimes eight or ten
miles day. They stand close together, yet are
never in each others way, and whatever move
ment is made by one is responded to immediate
ly by the other. They seldom speak one to the
other, but their perception is very quick, and
they seem moved by the same impulse when en-
gagged in conversation.
Their wives have blessed them with eleven
children They seem affectionate and happy in
their domestic relations. Whig.

A SKE:cu--A mother WAS knccling in the
hush Of evening, at the couch Of two infants,
whose rosy arms were twined in Il mutual enl-
brace. A Slumber, soft is the moonigh that
fell through the lattice over tllcw, like s!lvcry
veil, lay OH their delicate lr>--lhe soft bright
curls that clustered OH their pillow were slightly
stirred by their gentle and healthy breathings,
and that smile, which beams from the pure
depths Of the fresh glad spirit, yet rested on their
red lips. The mother looked upon their exceed
inc beauty with momentary pridc-and then,
us she continued to gaze on the lovely slumber-
ers, her dark eye deepcned with an intense and
unuttorabIe fonduess, and cold shuddering fear
came over her, lest those buds of life, fair, so
glowing, might be touched with sudden decay
and gather back in their brightness to the dust.
And she lifted her voice in PRAYER, solemnIy, pas
sionately, earnestly, that the Gvcr of Life would
still spare to her those blossoms of love, over
whom her soul thus ycarned.
And as the low-breathcd accents rose on the
still air, decpencd thought came over her, and
her spirit went out with her loved and pure ones
into the strange wild paths Of life, and strong
horror chilled her frame as she beheld milGew
and blight settling on the fair and lovely of the
earth, and high and rich hearts scathed with des-
olating and guilty passions. And the prayer
she WAS breathing grew yet more fcrvent even
to agony that He who was the fountain OF all
purity, would preserve these whom He had given
her in their perfect innocence, permitting neither
shame nor crime, nor folly, to cast stain on the
BRIGHTNESS with which she had received them IN
vested from His hand as with a mantle.
As the prayer died away in the weakness OF
the spent spirit, pale shadowy form stood be
side the infant sleepers. 81 am Death," said the
spectre, "and l am come for thy babes, l am
commissioned to bear them where the perlls you
dcprccate are unknown; where neither stain, dust
nor shadow can reach the rejoicing spirit. 1t Is
only by yielding them to me you can preserve
them forever from contamination and decay. p
a wild conflict, struggle as of the soul painting
in strong agony, shook the mothers frame, but
faith, and the love which hath purer tount than
that of earthly passions, triumphed, and she {,
Welded up her babes to the spectre. Behold ?
said Death, as he touched the fair forms, and the
beauty of life gave place to holler and yet
deeper loveliness, behold the smile of innocence
is forever sealed. They will awake where there
is neither blight nor tempest And the benign

AN HOUR BEFORE THE SUNSET.

BY CHARLES SWAIN.
An hour before the sunset,
Upon summer eve,
heard mother answer,
''You should not men believe!
"Tis easy to make promises,
And that the thoughtless find
But truthlulness and giddiness
Are never long combined
1fyou'd have lovers WOO you,
For neither land nor pelf-'
If you'd have men respect you,
You must respect YOURSELF
"Men care not for the maiden
That any glance can strike
Men care not for the sweet looks
Bestowed on all alike!
But there's maiden dignity
Which no one can deride;
A sanciity Of soul that makes
The ribald turn aside!
Fyou'd have lovers WOO you,
For neither land nor pelf-
Ifyou'd have men resrect you,
You must respect yourself.
sNo charm more sweet than innocence
From angels could be brought;
No shield so strong as modesiy
And purity Of thought
The heart is jealous ofits own,
And would not even prize
A hundred graces, il displayed
Before hundred eyes!
Ifyou'd have lovers WOO you,
For neither land nor pelt-
Hyou'd have men respect you,
You must respect YOURSELF"

A DOMESTIC SKErcH-We are indebted to
a correspondent for the following sketch of do
mcste scene that cannot fail to touch cord in
every heart:
"One market day, we saw a wagon loaded
with wheat coming into towli-nothlng strange
in that, certainly. And Il man drivn" the team,
and woman perchcd on the load beside, and a
child throned in the woman's lap-nothing
strange in that either. And it required no par
tcular shrcwdness that the woman was the pro-
pertv-persona of course-of the man, and that
the back-cycd, round faced child was the proper
tv of both of them. So much we saw, so much
we suppose every body saw, who looked. 1t is
fair inference that the wife came in to help her
husband "trade out' portion Of the proceeds OF
the wheat, the product of SO much labor, and so
many sunshlnes and rains. The pair were some
where "a fine point OF observation, isn't 1t! tins
side of forty, and it is presumpive, if blessed like
thu ir ncghbors, they left two or three children at
home ''to keep house" while they came to town
-.pcrhaps two girls and boy. or as it is imma-
terial to lis, two boys and girl. Well, we fol-
lowed the pair, in and through until the wheat
was sold, the money was paid, and then for the
trade. The baby was shifted from shoulder to
TO shoulder, or sat down upon the floor to run
off into mischief like asparkling globule ofqulck-
silver on a marble table, while calicoes were
priced, sugar and tea tested, and plates rung.'
The good wife looks askance at a large mirror
that would just be the thing for the best room,
and the roll of carpeting, Of the most becoming
pattcrn-but it won't do, they must wait till
next wear. All! there is music in those next
years that orchestras cannot make. And SO
they look and price and purchase the summer
supplies, the husband the while cycling the little
roll of bank notes growing small by degrees and
beautifully less. Then comes an aside confer
encc particularly confidential. She takes him
aractionatey by the button and looks up in his
fce--shc has fine eyes by-the-b -by-with an ex
preston eloquent of "do now, it will please them
So" And what do you suppose they talk of9
