THE TRIPLETS

Mrs Sybll Luddington, Mrs. Sarah Bush. neii and Mrs. Susan Grennell were all seventy years Of age on the 26th of March, 1858
 They are three sisters triplet born, and were III JnIy, visiting in Honesdale, Pa., after a separation of twelve years. They were born in Goshen, Litchfeld Co.,, Conn.,, in l7SS Their parents were Gideon Hurlburt and Anna Hurlburt, whose maiden name was Beach Their father was accidentally killed, by being drawn into the cog wheels of grist-mil, when they We're nine months old. Their mother is deceased. She was married three times Hurlburt was her first husband
 Mrs. Grcnnell has had four children-two sons aud two daughters Mrs. Bushnell nine children-four sons and five daughters and Mrs. Lnddlgton one chid-a daughter. Mrs. Grenne lost her husband, Michael Grennell, Nov. 3Oth 1857 Mrs. Bushneips husband, Pope bushnell, is still living, and is hale and hearty and Mrs Lnddington lost her hus- band, Theron Lnldington, forty-one years ago.
 The three sisters moved away from the place ot their nativity when they were about eight en years of age. Since then they have lived in different parts of the country, mostly if not en- trely upon farms. None of them have been maFred but once. A one time, from fifteen to twenty years ago. they all lived within can non-shot of each other, at Bethany, Wayne Co.,, Pa. Mrs. GrenneIl is the largest, and Mrs Luddington the smallest, of the three. Their personal resemblance is very striking :; Mrs. Grennell and Mrs. Bushnell resemble each other so much that even Mrs. Ludding- toi' has mistaken one for the other cannot tell them apart, and have often taken one for the other, though we'll acquainted with both. Mrs. Grennell now resides in Nashville, Sus- quehanna o., Pa.; Mrs. Bushnell in Dyber- ry; and Mrs Luddinyton in Texas township, W"yne Co.,, Pa.
 They all enjoy excellent health, which sup pose is owing to having good constitutions, and the fact that they are never idle. Though in comfortable circumstances, they are always busy about some profitable and healthfal en,- p'oyment. They go about their daily avoca- tIons of household work "spry as crickets," if l may be allowed the homely comparison. Their minds are perfectly sound. and I am happy to say they all bid fair for many years of usefulness-Phrenolngieal Jourmal

A singular story is aHoat in Paris, of French actress and respectable young man who had married her in a freak of passion. They lived, of course, unhappily together, and were distressed for the want of money. She had previously been the mistress of rich American who had his fling in Paris aud, at the eild of all resources, they determined to compel him to give them the means of liy- ing. They arrived at New York, found him, and so aroused his fears by threats of expos. ing his past life, that he, outof regard for his character and family, bound himself to pay an allowance to Madame of l,20O year With this the couple returned to Paris. Her hus- band has since sued for divorce, and these facts were revealed during the legal proce- dure

The originatiou of the term the "First Family of Virginia is thus explained by an exchange: In the early settlement of that State, it was found impossible to coonze it, unless women went there. Accordingly, a ship load was sent out, but no planter was al- lowed to marry one of them unless he had first paid one hundred pounds of tobacco for her passage. When the second ship load came, no cue would pay more than seventy-fve lbs. for the matrimonial privilege, except it were Il very superior article. Consequently the de- scendants of all those who were sold for one hundred pounds of tobacco were ranked as the first families, while those who brought but sev- enty-fise pounds, are now ranked as the sec ond families and the reason why no one can ever find any of the second families is because you can't get a Virginian to admit that his mother only brought seventy-6ye pounds of tobacco

A HUNDRED YEARS AGo.-The Pittsburgh 'peoitc are preparing to celebrate with public parade orationS, Erocessions, &c., on the 25th inst, the centennial anniversary of the capture of Fort Duqucsne which stood en the site now occupied by their city. Allud;ng to it, the Pittsburgh Post draws the following sketch of the era in which that event occurred :- "One hundred years ago there was not sin gle white man in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois territories. It was not until 1759, that the Hunter of Kentuck,' the gallant and adven- turous Boone, left his home in North Carolina, to become the first settler in Kentucky The first pioneer of Ohio did not settle until twen- ty years after this time A hundred years ago, Canada belonged to France, and the whole population of the United States did not exceed million and half of people A hundred years ago, the great Frederick. of Prussia, was performing those exploits which have made him immortal in military annals, and with his little monarchy was sustaining a singlc-handcd contest with Russia, Austria and France-the three great powers of Europe combined. A hundred years ago, Napoleon Was not born, and Washington was young and modest Virginia colonel, and the great events in the history of the two worlds, in which these great but dissimilar men took leading parts, were then scarcely foreshadow: cd. A hundred years ago. the United States were the most loyal part of the British Fun. pire, and on the political horlzon no speck ill. dicated the struggle which, within q score of years thereafter established the greatest re- public of the world. A hundred years ago, there were but four newspapers in America steam engines had not been imagined, and rail- roads and telegraphs had not entered into the remotest conceptions of man. When we come to look back at it through the vista of histo- ry We find that to the century which has pass ed has been allotted more important events in their bearing upon the happiness of the world tlHn almost any other which has elapsed since ! the creation.

A NEGRO DISCUSSION ABOUT EGGs.-Gene- neva, the lovely village on Seneca Lake, fur nishes the following specimen of parliamentary ruling:
 "lu the fairest village of Western New York, the culled rus>ons,' in emulation of their white brethren, formed debating socie- ty for the purpose of improving their minds by the discussion of instructive and entertaining topics. The deliberations of the society were presided over by venerable darkcy, who per formed his duty with the ntmos, dignity pecu- liar to his color. The subject for discussion on the occasion of which we write was, Which am de mudder of de chickcli-de hen -wot lay de egg, or de hen wot matches de chick ? The uestion was warmly debated ard many reasons pro aud con were urged and colnbatted by the excited disputants. Those in favor of the lat 1 ter proposl ton were evidently in the m: jority, and the President made no attempt to conceal that his sympathes were with the dominant party. At length an intelligent darkcy arose from the minority side, and begged leave to state d proposition to this effect 'S'pose, said he, dat you st one dozen ducks eggs under hen, and dcy hatch, which am de mud der-de duck or de hen?' This was poser, was well put, aud non plussed the other side, even staggering the Presto ent, who plainly saw the force of the argument, but had committed himself too far to yield without struggle ; so, after cogitating and scratching his wool d few moments, bright idea struck him. Ri sing from his chair in all the pride of conscious superiority, he announced :: Ducks am not be- fore de house chickens am de question dere- fore rule de ducks out r aud do it he did, to the complete overthrow of his opponents"

 Again, let us have at least the evening in our families, with our children The Sabbath is said to be a day of rest, but we do not see exactly where the !" rest" comes in now No thing is more common than the expression that the labor of the Sabbath is the hardest of the week. There must be some rational liberty in this matter. If it is to be concluded that men will be in mischief if they are not in the church, it shows, at least, that they have not been greatly benefited by the machinery now ill use. But it is not so The Sabbath Was made for man. By it he is to benefit himself ill all good directions, according to the needs of his nature. Man was not made for the Sabbath, nor to be the slave of the Sabbath He wants less feeding, more active develop ment, more social life, more time in his family, and more rest. How shall he get it? Tell us, ye wise ones, if We have not told.
