A Kalamazoo correspondent of the Chicae

A Kalamazoo correspondent of the Chicago
{Hter-Ocean says:
Last Friday evening the wife of MIR. j. &.
McCrum, living at 80 prisons street. gave
birth to pair of twins, boy and girl
The surprise of the parents can be imagined
when, on surveying the party, the nurse held
up the tiny pair OF infants in the palm of one
of her hands. They were soon afterwards
weighed, and the aggregate avoirdupois of
the twins was three pounds and four ounces,
one Of the pair weighing one pound and eight
ounces, and the other weighing one pound
and twelve ounces. They were less than
eight inches long, and perfectly formed. A
bed was made for them which consisted OF
a minute basket, filled with cotton batting,
and clothing had to be provided for the
strangers, that which in expectancy had been
made up proving q world too wide for their
limbs. Some daubt was expressed by the
physician who attended the mother as to
whether they would live, but up to this
morning they were not only alive, but are
lively, bright and wide awake, and claim a
space in this big sphere as well as their own
immediate brothers and sisters, OF "hon
there are several in the family, grown up
men and woaen.
There have been since Monday great many
visitors to see the little children, ana !he eA,
clamations of surprise and the elaculaliohS Oh
admiration would ill large volume; Ladies
and gentlemen, old and young flock TO the
house where the children lie. Pink and blue
ribbons have been tied about the little arms
of the babes, SO as to answer the question OF
which is the boy and the girl. The sensa'
ton is likely to last some time, though every
Iprecaution Is taken to preserve the lives OF
the little ones They nurse ana seem to en-
low themselves as well as could be expected.
'Tbev are nerfectly formed, and, we under
stand fnIl-fimed children. Wrapped in their
little beds, they look like dolls suddenly
vivified Their cries are like those of very
young kittens.

Wei known To some unknown 20 me,
BY my imperfect art,
one in the habit OF nun,
Stopped short rs in surprise,
And through her dom $40 ! saw
Two soft, regarding eyes.
Long looked we both, for half felt
Her gaze no mischief spoke,
And knew it when wonlans hand
Reached TO me from the cloak,
4 voice never heard before,
But most sincere and sweet,
sand, "Ahi my love, do we oTce more
Touch hand TO hand and meet"

unmask before you go,
And tell your trouble in my ear.
Why do you tremble so"

When DER my mind supreme
You were the hero Of my fears,
The gallant OF my dream"
And did never know your will
When then, perchance, my heart,
Like yours, was longing for a shrine.

"No; mint was all the pleasant pain,
And heaven permits it here,
To say that still, rs when child,
follow your career"
My husband passes-Nay. you must!
No guilty secret mine
4 strong mans hand came frankly forth,
saw his dark eyes shine;
d" In honor's way God keep you long"
These manly sounds heard,
And never may you cease to be
Our favorte household word"
They vanished in the moving crowd
And left me wondering quite,
Until heard my comlade say
whoa have you seen tonight"
"TO guess" | SAID, "were fruitless task,
When all this maze | see;
But if they ever come in mask,
Two angels spoke to me-"
