Tn editor Of True Plymouth Rock was
in Boston last week, and while passing
up Winter street saw u veritnble Grecian
Bend, which he thus describes: Tho
frame or figure upon which the super
structure was fastened, was apparently
designed for a woman, though excepting
the hight, the face, and the ordinary
substitute for a bonnet, there was moth
ing to indicate the form by which God
illustrates female beauty and loneliness.
The dress worn was of brown poplin,
p~rofusely trimmed with magenta trim
mings, and this was spread ove a some
thing very much the shape of \ char
coal makers raking-in basket, which,
being inverted, seemed to have been
fastened 10 the back Of the person above
the hips. As counterbalance, the fig
ure had in her bosom, apparently, two
halves of a large sized Valparaiso
squash /; and, with a pair Of boot heels
some three inches high, aud her arms
poised so as to keep herself from top
ping over, this female caricnture WINS
trying to get over the sidewalk, working
one side at o time, and holding the
Roadway by her heels, which seemed to
drop into the bricks very much like the
pail or catch-drop in q vessels capstan.
We elbowed our way through the Curl
Gus crowd to get in front of thi, gradu-
ally moving figure, expecting to see her
shedding tears of bitter anguish for
having such punishment inflicted upon
her, but instead we found her with q
sort of selt-satis6ed air, such as is or
dinarily worn by shsllow-brained NO.
men. Who the creature was or what
she had done to deserve such a punish
ment We were unable to learn, any fur
Their than that this was a Grecian Bend,
or a bender.

THE cR1cKRT IN TnR WALL.

I heard It in the early fall,
AL through the evening bleak and cold
A chipping in my bedroom wall
So silver-sweet and bold.
! have no language in my heart,
No gin Of song or poets pen:
No chosen words that would impart
The thoughts that stirred me then.
It seemed Of thousand things to tell,
All springing up on every side;
And placed upon my heart a spell
/ could not cast aside.
Each little joy Of childhood came,
The wcll-remembered Christmas tree;
Ny mothers voice, my sisters name,
Who shared my childhood's glee.
They quickly passed until I caught
The wild uprising sounds Of youth,
And still I heard the voice that taught
Ny heart the ways Of truth.
Long, long l dwelt upon those years,
So filed were they with LIES alloy;
So full Of hopes with all their fears,
And fears with all their Joy,
The cricket chirped and chirpsd again:
But now Il seemed q sadder tone;
For while / listened, heart and brain,
Ny tears replied alone.
Il told me Of a form I love,
That vanished like the melting snowj
A little brown-eyed wife above,
Who left me months ago.
II told me Of a mothers grave
Of vonth d.nayted
OF severed homes BY land and wave,
And sorrow at my door.
/ could not cast the spell away,
But loved its very iaddest tones;
And wish il might return to-day
To chirp to me alone.
Though birds Of summer sweetly sing,
l know I love above them all
That little black, melodious thing,
The cricket in the wall.

LEGAL TsSDRRs.-Speaking Of the ex-
pected decision of the U. 8. Supreme
Court pronouncing United States notes
not a legal tender, the Bulletin says:
The effect of this decision would not
be to destroy the value Of these notes
rs q form of credit, only to invslidate
them as a compulsory tender in full sat-
isfaction Of debts. They would con-
.tinue to pass from hand to hand, at
their value relatively to coin, but tho
business Of the Government and coun-
try would be virtually remanded to a
specie basis, and would have to be ad-
justed to that basis as carly a. prscti-

Monstro.lties.D oubIe:headed Girls o
New Orleans.

We paid a visit on Friday to that most
wonderful Of natures freaks, the double
headed colored girl, or perhaps il would
be moro correct to say two girls in one.
For convenience we shall speak Of them
in the plural. They are entirely dis
tinct, as far as mind is concerned,
laughing and chatting with each other,
and being apparently upon the most in
innate terms, and one may have q head
ache without the other being affected,
but any fever lor other serious disease
affects both equally.
The bodies arc separate frsm the
small Of the back up, each having a per-
fectly formed bust and head, arms, etc.,
and each has two legs, but there is only
q trunk. Both are remarkably intel
ligent, reading and writing with case,
while their are really refined.
In quito a lengthy conversation they
did not make q single grammatical err
ror, and their language was unusually
select. Upon questioning them as to
their education, they replied that they
had been carefully taught by their for
mer mistress, in Columbus, North Car
DINA, in which village they were born.
They are now fifteen years of age, and
more than ordinarily bright fer girls of
their age, having had the advantage of
foreign travel. They both sing very
sweetly, one having a soprano and the
other n contralto voice, and We have
rarely heard two that blended so per-
fectly in a duet. Among their accom-
piishments is that of dancing, and the
manner in which they manage to execute
a waltz is truly wonderful. When stand
ing at ease the left foot of one and tho
right foot of the other do not lie fiat
upon the floor, but rest upon the toes.
In walking, however, they step with all
their feet alike, though they can hold
up two feet and walk with perfect
ease with the other two.
In speaking Of them as one they are
called Millie- Christie, but, in addressing
.nem separately one applies the distinct
I've appellation, she on the left being
called Mile, and she on the right
Onrisie though Chrisie, in addressing
her other half, calls her "Sister."
Ihere IS n striking resemblance between
their faces, and the conformation al
their heads is much the same-Cbr;s;.,
perhaps, a shade brighter thAn her sin,
ter, and rather moro talkativo.
Before seeing these strange girls, we
had fsncied that we would experience A
feeling Of repulsion, but the first glance
at their bright, cheerful faces dispelled
that idea effectually.-NeW Orleans Pic
ayaae.
