A Freak of Nature.

The most wonderful of all wonders
that nature in her mad freaks has ever
produced, will be on exhibition to-day
at the New Opera House. We have
seen it, and there can be no question
that it is marvellous, A child-or
rather we should say two children
with two perfect heads and bodies, and
four lower limbs and feet, forming two
complete persons apparently to the eye
and still being SO joined together at the
small of the back, as to fe4uire but one
organization from that point to where
the legs join the body, They are ne.
gro children, but very handsome and
intelligent specimens of the race, and
can read, write and sing. In theft
natural positions they stand back te
back, but can turn half way. around,
and intertwining their arms, kiss. The
one is larger than the other, and while
one has the heart ON the left side, the
other has that organ on the right side
They can sing very sweetly, and pei.
feet harmony, and though plural in
form, dwell together in unity and con-
cord, as good sisters should, never
quarfeTing with one another Yesterz
day, while we were present tit being
Sunday, they sung g Hosannah to the
Lord, very sweetly. One of the most
singular phenomena connected with this
phenomena is the fact that if you touch
the foot of either of the children it is
felt5by both equally, q similar sensation
being communicated to both. bodies;
but if you touch the body of either
above the connection, the other does
not feel it! They are totally different
from the Siamese twins, and present q
much more surprising instance of ma
tuae's. curious workings. The agent
informs us that they dance very grace
fully, and in all their movements they
appear perfectly at case. They can
sleep on either side, turning one AM
other over in bed with great facility

HOW no CURE A HUsBAND.

A woman, whom her husband used to
scold, went to a cunning man to inquire
how she might cure him of his bafbarity.
The sagacious soothsayer heard her COM
plaint, and after pronouncing some hard
words, and using various gesticulations,
while he filled a phial with colored liquid,
desired her, whenever her husband was in
a passion, to take a mouthful of the liquor
and keep it in her mouth for five minutes.
The woman, overjoyed at so simple reme-
dy, strictly followed the counsel which
was given her, and by her silence escaped
the usual annoyance. The contents of the
bottle being at last expended, she return
ed to the cunning man and anxiously beg
ged to have another possessed of the same
| virtue. Daughter said the cunning
man, there, was nothing in the bottle but
brown sugar and water. When your hus-
band is ina passion, hold your tongues ,oand
my life on it, he will not scold you in the

Wash FOrBuildingS,


If properly applied, whitewash is
one Of the most useful articles in the
world, as it not. only prevents the de-
cay of ,weod, but promotes the health
fulness of all buildings. Fences and
buildings, if not painted, should
be supplied:a as often as once or twice a
year with a good coat of whitewash.-I
We find in the Chemical Gazette, the
following receipt for a good white
wash or wash of different colors: .
Take clean, water tight bar
REL or other suitable cask, and put in
to it half bushel OF lime, Slack it by
pouring water over it boiling hot, and
in sufficient quantity. to cover it five in
ches deep, and stir it briskly till thor
oughly Stacked. When the Stacking
is effected. dissolve in water and add
two pounds Of sulphate Of zinc, and
one Of zinc, and one, Of common salt.
These will cause the wash to harden,
and prevent its cracking, which give an
uhseenly appearance to the work. If
desirable, a beautiful cream color may
be communicated to the above wash,
by adding three, pounds. of yellow
ochre, or a good pearl or lead color
by the addition of lamp, vine or ivory
black. For fawh color, add four pounds
umber-LTurkish or American, the lat
ter is the cheaper, one pound Indianfred
and one pound common lampblack.--
For common stone. color, add four
pounds of raw lumber, and two pounds
lampblack. This wash may be applied
l. 4 L. \
will be found much superior, both in
appearance and durability, to common
whitewash.''' g..z ~ ,-,..: fs.,o..s.., "a

HINTS TO YOUNG LADIES.

The following hints, spoken in, the very
plainest terms, are respectfully submitted
by one of the sex. Don't make a confident
of the first Interesting young lady you
meet. A woman can't keep secret any
more than sieve can hold water; and ten
to one sie'll tell the story TO the rsistera3
nice young man of her acquaintance
Then you can imagine the consequences!
Don't sit down to your eroehetiwork or
embroidery unless you hatel first intended
that whole in your stocking. No use
crowding it under the heelof youfAshoe!-i
Rag, like murder, will out; and they speak
with terribly loud voices and at ineon-
venient seasons, sometimes. Don't under
take to write skim-nlilk poetry whenever
you fee1a little disposed towards enthusi-
asm. Go and do kind action. or speak an
encouraging word to somebody, if the
'poetic impulse" must have vent. Depend
upon it, you'll be better satisfied after
wards. Don't pretend to be angry BECAUSE
gentlemen have the Gaudacityr to look at
you when you promenade the streets in
your best bonnet. What do you go there
for if not to be seen? The More you enact
Indignation, the more the offending.

Don't pay thirty or forty dollars for the
aforesaid bonnet, and then eomplain that.
'pa y is in such narrow circumstances
that youscannot afford to give twenty y-five
cents in charity. Don't eat blue and yell
low candies the whole time, like mouse
nibbling at q pineapple cheese, and then
lament because you haven't any appetite
for dinner. Don't keep gentleman watt
ing half anil hour. when he calls, while yeu
put on lace and ribbons, and arrange cur1s.
He isn't a fool, whatever you may think OH
the subject, and will probably form his
own ideas upon your original appearance.
Don't run and hide like a frightened rab-
bit when gentleman puts his head into
the room where you are sweeping or dust
ing. Ifthere's anything to be ashamed of
why do you do it Don't proclaim to the
world that you can't exist without six

would be.a burden without jewelry or
diamonds, and then wonder that the Young.
