DRUNKENNEss.-W Watson, an old Pu-
ritan divine, thus wrote of this crying
sin - There is no sin which doth more
efface Gods image than drunkenness.
1t disguiseth a person, and doth even
unman him. Drunkenness makes him
have the throat of "a fish, the belly of Q
swine, and the head of an ass. Drunk
enness is the shame of nature, the extin.
guisher of reason, the shipwreck of chas
tity, and the murder of conscience
Drunkenness is hurtful to the body-the
cup kills more than the cannon: il
causeth dropsies, catarrhs, apoplexies
it fills the eyes with fire and the legs
with water, turns the body into hospit-
al. But the greatest hurt it doeth is to
tho soul; excess of wine breeds the
worm of conscience The drunkard is
seldom reclaimed by repentance; and
the ground OF it is partly because by
this sin the senses are SO enchanted, the
reason SO impaired, and lust SO inaamed;
and partly it is judicial-the drunkard
being so besotted by his sin, God saith
of him, as of Ephraim, he is Joined to
his cups, let him alone; let him drown
himself in fire.

sought in vain to gain her heart. 1t
was l that, after every art and device,
and intrigue were exhausted, sent, un-
der another's name, a message of sick
ness and distress, to decoy her away to

her coming, and dragged her away by
force, under the cover of night and the
dark shadow of the forest I that

through the long parlors, like some COB.
Inns tramp, echoed the halting footsteps;
the lofty mirrors sent back to each other
the image of that spectral face as it
turned from one to the other and long
after the midnight bell had struck, the
watchman across the street gazed in
wonder at the oft-returning profile of
downcast, aged face, that for moment
was drawn SO distinctly upon the cur
tain, and then changed, and shifted
aud faded away. And when the bright
beams of the new year sun streamed far
into the rooms, and the master of the
house with heavy groan raised his gray
head from the table, there on the rich
carpet, under the glaring gas, lay Phil

THE DOUBLE BABY OF LANCAs.
saN TER.

/ We stated few days since, that
strange case of malformation has occur
red at Lancaster, in this State, and prom
ised more full description of the curl
Gus production, which we hoped to gain
at the hands of some Of our medical
friends. As they, however, from some
cause or other, do not incline to do It,
we have put several Of them under cross-
examination, and intend to embody in
4 our own language what we have learned.
Our friend, Prof. N. 7. Marshall, of the
Medical College of Ohio, and perhaps
others of the city, have seen the prodigy,
which is, without doubt, one ofthe most
remarkable freaks of nature known to
science, or recorded in history. The
February number of the Western Ian.
Get, published in this city, will contain.
as we are informed, full scientific de.
scrition of the wonder.
From the lower extremity of the breast
bone-where the junction of the two bod
les takes place-upwards, there are the
upward parts of two perfect and we'll
developed infants-two heads, two pairs
of arms, two chests, two stomachs, two
hearts, two pair Of lungs, and two livers.
From the same point downwards, the
blending of the two system into one be-
comes more and more Intimate, until il
seems almost perfect and complete.-
The intestines, and all the lower orga.s,
arc in common with common termini.
and the legs made up of the right leg
Of one and the left leg of the other are
pair, standing in the proper position
relative to each other and to the orpana
in their vicinity. In the rear, however,
the union is less perfect, there being
two well developed spines, each termina-
ting in a separate os coccEgis !; and,
what is peculiarly strange, the two inner
legs, dislocated at the hip joints, are
thrown backwards and upwards, and
joined together, are found passing under
the true skin of the back of the body
upon the right, the feet being extricated
and standing up heel to heel nearly in
its face.
The child is female, with apparsnt-
ly perfect sexual organization. The
bodies do not exactly face each other,
but are more nearly, face to face than
side to- side. One is apparently some
what more robust than the other, and It
is evident that in many of the charac-
sSrlsLlCS oA eHSiI cOnsaeutlouS tHey ufe-
different. As one is capable Of suffering
while the other is unconscious of pain, It
follows that their nervous systems are
several, from which it is, we suppose, to
be inferred that in case they should sur
vive, each will possess character and
individuality of its own.
This strange phenomenon is the off
spring of respectable parents at Laneas-
ter. Although deleeate, it is thought
the chances are in favor of its surviving.
The case is in hand of DR.. Boestler,. one
ofthe oldest physicians of the State,
whose skillin its treatment is spoken Of
in terms of high commendation.-Cizs-

MOTHERS MADE THaNKFUL.-The To-
cal editor of the Buffalo Republic has
made himself one of the immortals by
the publication of discovery which he
has recently made, of great Importance
to mothers. 1t is an iufailible means
of keeping babies, from two to ten
months old, perfectly quiet for hours
The modus operandt is as follows p
g AS soon as the squaller awakes, set it
up, proped by pillows, if it cannot sit
alone, and smear its fingers with thick
molasses. Then put half dozen feath-
ers into its hands, and the young one
will sit and pick the feathers from one
hand to the other, until it drops asleep,
As soon as it awakes, more molasses
and more feathers, and in the place of
never astounding yells, there will be
silence and enjoyment unspeakable?
