or works as many hours, as William b.

in business until five o'clock. He rarely
takes exercise, and finds his pleasure in the

EThe twin brothers Copperhead
Democracy and Secession, ,long united
by the closest iigaments, somewhat
resembling that ofthe Siamese Twins,
have suddenly become dsfnnet. They
were the lineal descendants OF John
C.sCalhoun by q slave woman, and
consequently possessed the elements
ofboth progenitors to q great degree.
Although born at the same time.
Copperhead Democracy seemedzto
have special care Of his brother,
whose spirit was of that overbearing
brutal and tyrannicsl style that would
Brook no insult, even where none was
intended. This spirit Of tyranny kept
him constantly in turn oil, alleging
that designs we're made by others to
rob him Of his property. This prop
eIty consisted for the most part of
human chatteis, except in color,
strongly resembling Secession, and
by many believed to be very nearly
related to him, if not his own flesh
and blood.
The peculiar Office Of Copperhead
Democracy, was to see that his
brother obtained his rights. He was
peaee-man in the strictest sense,
and felt it his duty to maintain tina.

cession came in contact. Yet Cop
perhead was prudent, very. Here
sided among those whom he sup
posed'were unfriendly to his brother.
He bought and sold, traded and grew
rich among them, yet never failed to
preach peace and good will to all
men, even when his brother Seces-
sion was at the very doors of his
neighbors to kill and destroy.
The quarrels of Secession finally
became general, and on all sides, hon
est men determined, the monster
should no longer infest the land
By gigantic efforts he was finally cap
tured on the 14th OF April, 1865, at
Appomatox Court House, Virginia,
State wherein he had harbored for
some years. His capture resulted in

mcurners. His twin brother Cop
perhead Democracy, had sometime
previously rather deserted him, not
SO much from want of affection as
fear of meeting the same end. The
death of Secession caused a universal
shout of joy, which so terrified Cop
perhead, that the joints in his back
bone became loosened, and he fell to
pieces They were united in their
lives, and in their death they were
not divided. The evil they did in
the land, lives after them. There
was no good inferred with their
bones. Opinions are divided as to
their future state, there being but
enc he'll, and the chief ruler of that
kingdom declares, that being the first
rebel, he might tolerate secession but
copperhead teing doomed to accom-
pany him forever, he will not have
hell disgraced by his contemplate
presence.
II they are thus driven back to
earth, they will probably be allowed
to visit Mexico.
