A Word tn Boys.

Daylight is the proper time for boys to
play, aud when night comes they should
be at home with their parents, either
reading, or hearing read, useful books
On the street, and in the dark, boys are
apt to do aud say many things which they
would not think of in daylight. They
are liable to meet with comnapions and
form assoc ations, which they would not
dare do in the day time, when the light
of heaven is shining upon them, aud
they know that their parents are likely to
become acquainted with their doings.
For your own good, boys, We say stay At
home during the evenings. There you
will form no bad habits, and become &C,
auainted with no vices. aud when you
grow up to be men YOU will never have
cause to regre. having pursued this
course. Rock Islander.

The term First Families of Virginia"
originated at the early settlement of the
State. 1t was found impossible to colo
nize it unless women went there. Ac-
cordingly ship load was sent out, but
no planter was allowed to marry one of
them until he had first paid one hundred
pounds of tobacco for her passage. When
a second ship load came, no one would
pay over seventy-6vc pounds for the mat
rimonial privilege, except it were very
superior article. Consequently, the de-
scendants of all those who we're sold for
one hundred pounds Of tobacco were rank
ed as the First Families while those
who brought but seventy five pounds are
now ranked as the Second Families and
the reason why no one can ever find any
of the second families, is because you
can't get Virginian to admit that his
mother only brought IS pounds of tobac-
co.--Petersbury Intel.

a FrpaL of Nature.

Mr.. Eestal yesterday requested US to
90 to the Commercial Hotel to see rare
htsus nature. lie has a girl who has four
legs and feet, two heads, four arms and
the upper part of two bodies, perfectly
formed, with the exception that the heart
Of one of these bodies is in the right
side instead of the left, but though it is
double as to its head, arms and legs, yet
in its spinal and pelvis arrangements it is
one Its two heads are very intelligent,
and answer and sing together. In an
sweriug questions asked BY any one, both
answer together and in the same words,
or, if different questions arc asked, each
answers differently. In walking, the girl
uses two or four legs, which ever happens
to be the most convenient. In eating,
she uses both mouths, though it is sup
posed that one would answer as well, as
there is but one set of digestive organs

Twins-they were two persons joined to-
gether by membrane This girl is two
persons with one body, acting in unity
