TWINS BIZ JOVE.

The Pacific express train on the Pam
Handle railroad left the depot recently,
under the charge of Conductor Drury.
Nothing transpired to disturb the mon
otony of the conductors call on drowsy
passengers for tickets, gentlemen" un-
til the train was between Dennison and
Steubenville. Then he was notified
that lady passenger desired his pres
ence. He found the lady evidently in
some trouble and embarrassment, To
his affirmative response to the query
whether he was married man, the lady
stated that she was on her way from
Cincinnati to meet her husband in New
York and that q crisis was impending,
involving the appearance of an addi-
Honal passenger. This startled the con-
ductor, Of course but with heart as
big as an elephant, he set to work to
make her comfortable. All the passen-
gers were hastily shuffled into another
car, and such female assistance as could
be procured on the train was brought
into requisition. In a brief time, the
little stranger fine, bouncing girl is
the phrase-put in an appearance, and
the conductor congratulated himself on
his happy escape from q dilemma. With
. heart Overlooking with sympathy, he
arranged an impromptu wardrobe for
the very young lady from his own un-
der clothing. 1t was not exactly In the
style ofthose "infant outfits" advertised
in the New York papers, yet it served
q good purpose
Bat this was not all. The train left
Steubenville on time, and was soon
laundering through and around the hills
OF West Virginia, when the conductor
received another shock. This time it
was ga fine bouncing boy" Twins, by

Drury's linen went to start the little one
on his journey through the world. Then
for fear of what might happen, the train
was hurried up; in due time it reached
Pittsburgh, and the lady and the two
unticketed passengers were tenderly
conveyed to comfortable quarters at the
Union Depot Hotel, when a telegram
was forwarded to the husband in New
York, which probably lifted him out
Of his boots. At last advices the
mother and children were doing well.
The twins certainly commenced life
under extraordinary circumstances.

LICENSING FOR GOLD.

From "Where is Abel, thy Brother?"
by Thurlow w. Brown.
Go, where night is the blacklist, and
poor, weary hearts are slowly breaking
under their weight Of woe-tell them
you haveJoyous newsl Tell them that
for all the bitter desolation, your palm
is filed with gold. Tell the smitten
victims of the household, that out of
their mouths, OFF their backs, and from
their blighted fields you and your chos-
en- instruments have gathered a harvest
of gold. Tell the pale, wasting wife
and mother, you have paltry percent
age of all that was noble in the husband
or kind in the father in yellow gold.
Tell the drunkard as he dreams, per-
chance that he can yet beat back the
red pillows which toss and consume
him, that for his body's death and his
at the threshold of the poorhouse, mock
ingly taunt the squalid, defOrmed
and the idiotic, with the news that out
of all their ruin, you gathered gold.
Stand by the prison door, and as the
remorseless hinge shrieks after the VIC
tim 1t entombs, peer through the graf
ing and cheer the living dead with the
news that you have sold them to crime
and to infamy, for gold. Call shelter
less orphanage in the street, and tell
them that you sold them to be crucified,
and robbed them of bread, education,
parents and home for gold. Stand by
the new made graves of the last twelve
months, and whisper to the fifty thous-
and sleepers-victims of your "regulat-
ed" traffic-that you slew them for gold.
Enter the Vestibule of perditiOn, and
with Bible in hand, read that no drunk
ard shall inherit the kingdom of God,
and as fitting ghosts of uncounted
thousands, charge you with their deep
damnation, comfort them with the as
surance that you did it for gold. Fol-
low your slaughtered hosts to the judg-
ment, and when He who called the first
fratricide to account, shall call for your
brother, answer that you slew him for
gold. "For gold I" the angels shall echo
and weep. "For gold I" shall hooking
devils catch up the cry, and taunt earth
that "In all hell there is nothing SO
righteous" as the system of financier-
ing on earth and in a christian land.
For gold, few men are driving this
villainous trade by your fresides, by
the schools where your children are
taught, and the churches where you
worship, AS you have sown, so are ye
reaping.

A SHREWD BARGAIN.

The Paris Droit Tells funny story
about q man who drove a fat horse and
a lean dog to market one day during
the siege. He met butcher who asked
him how much he would take for the
horse, and to his query the man made
reply he would sell the horse and dog
together for 1000 francs. "But / don't
want your dog there is hardly pound
of meat on his bones" said the butcher.
But the man would only sell the two
beasts together, and said, al will sell
the dog for 800 francs" care you mad ?''
quoth the butcher. "But," continued
the man, 81 will throw in the horse for
5 francs more" Finally the butcher,
who was sadly in need of meat, bought
the two at the price asked, and departed.
But policeman had seen the barter,
and thought it suspicious; so he arrest
ed the man, who explained matters by
saying that he was q servant whose mas
ter had died and commissioned him to
sell the horse for the benefit of the heirs,
while he had bequeathed to him the dog.
This was the reason of his refusal to sell
the beasts separately. The heirs, how
ever, have sued him, for he gave them
the francs received for the horse, keep
ing the 995 francs for his own use.

DEATH,

We have never read anything more
beautiful than the following from the
pen of Geo. ID. Prentice:
There is but breath of air and beat
of the heart betwixt this world and the
next. And in the brief interval of pain
full and awful suspense, while we feel
that death is present with us; that we
are powerless, and He all-powerful, and
the faint pulsation here is but the pre-
Jude of endless life hereafter we feel,
in the midst of the stunning calamity
about to befall us, that the earth has no
compromising good to mitigate the Sc
verify of our loss. But there is no grief
without some beneficcnt provision to
mitigate its intenseness. When the
good and lovely die, the memory of
their good deeds, like the moonbeams
on the stormy sea, lights up our darken-
cd hearts, and lends to the surrounding
gloom beauty so sad, so sweet, that
we would not, if we could, dispel the
darkness that environs it,"

of Alcorn's colored magistrates, and Of
fered him So for q divorce. Clay pock-

have this day separated before me, and
you and him are at liberty to marry
when you will.

This is decidedly the cheapest and
speediest divorce ever obtained in the

"yOsH BILLINGS.


Lanesboro. Massachusetts, has the hon.
or of being the birth place of Henry
Shaw, ESQ.,, alias Josh Billings"
"His father was esquire Shaw, well
remembered by inhabitants of that
town, and looked up to as one of their
first men. The Squire was not q native
of the town, but removed there when q
young man, and there married. He
owned four or five farms, of several
hundred acres, and was considered
worth 100000 at the time of his death.
He was odd to the last degree, and when
he was married drove with his intended
bride, Miss Laura Wheeler of the same
town, to New Lebanon, N. Y, where
they were united by justice of the
peace, for one dollar.The squire had
ten children -four sons and six dAugh-
ters,) of whom "Josh," the second, fully
inherited his fathers oddity. The old
gentleman removed from Lanesboro to
New York, (where he became demo-
cratic aldermah,) because of the too
near location of an iron furnace to his
ground. "Josh" is now fifty years of age,
tall, round shouldered, and with an in
describable comic expression on his face,
which he always had. He is said to be
worth about 100000. Ofthe other chill
dren, the sons are ali dead. The mis-
chievous genius of the oldest, Robert,
viii be long remembered by old inhabi-
tants of Lanesboro. He was credited
with taking down the church bell, put
tug geese into tine pulpit Saturday
night, burying kegs ofpowder and ex.
ploding them, to cause an earthquake
and numberless other pranks of like ma
ture. Five daughters still survive, one
of whom was married to the late Charles
NJ. Emerson of Pittsfeld.
