"Dim this shadowy sphere"

But was he, then, in possession of plea
sure? Hear the mournful strains in which
he addressed his own heart, few days be-
fore his departure from time:
"count DER the joys thy hours have seen;
Count DER thy days from anguish free (:
And know, whatever thou hast been,
IT'S something better not to be-
All, no! pleasure is not in all these
things. 1t is found not in wealth, nor in
pomp, nor in power, though it may be en-.
joyed in connection with all these, when
: they are rightfully attained, and whenever
pleasure is rightfully sought. But there
must be better element added to these
good things oftimc, in order to render them
conducive to pleasure, for it consists not in
these. Pleasure is principle, and belongs
to our moral nature, and to our intellectual
or sentient passions and instincts. Hence
we must seek for it out of and above the
natural clements that minister only anC
equally to our outward comfort or discom
fort. When we look to the well-spring O
goodness, we shall find the boon for whicl
we seek. Then we shall be able to answe
our principal inquiry-What is happiness
And our solution Of the question will b
correct, and our attempts to attain it, beini
properly directed, will'be safe.
Pleasure is grateful and happy feeling
which arises in the human heart from
contemplation Of the manifold goodness O
the great Creator and Supreme Disposer O
man, connected with the love of God an
the work of duty

Mich Cows.-If you desire your COWS

dust mixed, two Or three times q week.
They also like variety Of food. Roots,
cut or rasped, and mixed with cut hay or
straw, then stirred and left for an hour or
two, makes a mess which they will eat very
greedily. We think that hardly enough
attention is given to the bedding Of COWS, as
the more quiet and comfortable they are,
the less food they require to sustain the
system, and may, therefore, 60 to produce

A Double Baby.

We stated few days since, that strange
case of malformation had occurred at Lam
caster, in this State, and promised full
description of this curious production, which
we hoped to gain at the hands of some OF
our medical friends. As they, however,
from scme cause or other, do not incline to
do it, we have put several of them under
cross-examination, and intend to embody
in our own language, what we have learned.
Our friend, Professor N. T. Marshall, of
the Medical College of Ohio, and perhaps
others of the city, have seen the prodigy,
which is, without doubt, one of the most
remarkable freaks of nature known to SCI
ence or recorded in history. The Februa-
ry number of the Western Lancet, pub
lishcd in this city, will contain, as we are
informed, full scientific description of the
wonder.
From the lower extremity of the breast
bOne-where the junction ofthe two bodies
takes place-upwards, there are the upper
parts of two perfect and well developed in
fants-two heads, two pairs of arms, two
chests, two stomachs, two hearts, two pairs
of lungs and two livers. From the same
point downwards, the blending Of the two
systems into one becomes more and more
intimate, until it seems almost perfect and
complete. The intestines, and all the lower
organs, are in common with common ter
mini, 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 rela-
tive to each other and to the organs in their
vicinity. In the rear, however, the union
is less perfect, there being two well devel-
oped spines, each terminating in separate
Os cocygiS, 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 un-
der 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 perfect sex
ual organization. The bodies do not ex.
actly face each other, but arc more near
face to face than side to side. One is ap.
parently somewhat more robust than the
other, and it is evident from many of the
characteristics of their constitution, that
they are different. As zone is capable Of
suffering while the other is unconscious o.
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 in
dividuality Of its own.
This strange phenomenon is the offspring
ofrespectable parents in Lancaster. Al
though delicate the chances are in favor o
its living. The case is in the hands of DR.
BOestler, one of the ablest physicians in tn
State, whose skill in its treatment is spokel
of in terms of high commentator, A. Gin
cianati Commercial.
