& Model Family.

About twenty-five years ago, two bro
thers, thea and low residing IN kenne.
bunk, Maine, married. Their wives never
saw each other until they we're married
These two brothers are b!acksmiths and
work together, occuby the same shop their
father and grandfather occupied. But the
most remarkable and eommendab!e faa.
sure in reference to the matter is thsttheso
two families have lived together as one
family ever since they were married all
eating at the same table, and all in per.
feet harmony. a few years ago these
two meG left home for California While
waiting on the isthmus for steamer. one
OF them was taken sick, il was agreed
that the vel! brother should proceed TO
California, and that the other should re
turn home as soon as he was able, which
he did. The California brother remained
in the golden state working at his trade
until he accumulated $500, when he re-
turned home. After the congratulations
the Californian brought cut his treasure
and SAID, "Here brother is $500, YOUR
half Of my earnings :" The wives took
turn in presiding at the table-alterna;iug
weekly; the one of duty taking 30 more
interest in matters than if she was a
boarder.
We gather the above facts from gsntle-
man Of this city who recently made a
short call at the home Of these brothers
We set these people down as bona 6de
Christians.

Last Night of the stereoplcon.--
2 Our citizens, for the last several evenings,
have been crowding Huston Hall 10 witness
the almost miraculous illusions and beauties
of the STEREoPrIcoS. Those who have not
seen It, cannot conceive how perfectly and
satisfactorily it opens to view the scenes and
objects upon which it is brought to bear 1t
adds to the perfection Of the Photographic
process, not simply expansion; but it has the
wonderful power of lifting the magical shad-
ow from the canvass or screen, and imparting
to it the absolute, intangible attributes Of the
real object For instance, the photograph Of
the Greek Slave, is made to appear not only
full size, but rounded into natural dameters,
and projected from the screen into ell the dis
tinetness apprecieble to the eye, in looking
upon the real work. And iu this consists the
glory of the Stereopticon Those who visit
Huston Hall tonight, will agree with US that
the Stereopticon is one one Of the most in.
