the tariff had been abolished? They might
not, IL is true, get us good Il price for their

had been closed and their operatives had
moved away or gone to farming for them
selves; nor would they find it as easy as it

DR.. Joseph IIolingsworth, OF Mount Airy,
North Carolina, who made an examination
OF the bodies Of the Siamese Twins mt Green's
borO', in that State, shortly after life was
extinct, and who arrived in Philadelphia last
week and held consultation with DR.. Pan
cost, at the latter's residence, Eleventh and
Walnut streets, gives the following interest
ing report:
DR.. Holiingsworth found the "Gor,lian
knott or band which connected them to be
an extension of the sternum for about four
inches in length and two in breadth. The
band was convex above and in front and
concave underneath. The two bodies had
but Que navel, which was in the center OF the
band, and it is supposed that there were two
umbilical cords branching from this, one
extending into each body.
The connecting link was found to be the
ensiform.cartlage, and was as hard as bone,
and did not yield in the least. II may be
here mentioned that for some time previous
to their death no motions were observable
in the band. The doctor said he did not
think they would have survived a separation,
not from the fact of being afraid OF separating
the arteries, but from fear OF producing peri
tonitis. No hcmorrhage would have been
produced, so far could be seen, as there were
no arterial connections of any account.

of tin was made and the bodies deposited
therein, and the coffin was Theoretically

| business operations OF the wOrld-these are
secular, these belong to men-God has nc
concern in them they arc regarded as
worldly, in direct opposition to those things
that are called spiritual; the latter are Of the
earth-earthy; the former are of Heaven
heavenly. The two are totally diverse and
separate the one has reference to GOD
and His kingdom, the other to the world in
| its various aspects and interests; the one
field of operation is for mans support and
comfort alone, the other for religion and the
cause Of Christ.
Here is great mistake our worldly bust.
ness, whatever it may be, to which we are
called in Providence, is the work given us to
do by our heavenly Father; and no matter
how humble or how mental in the sight OF
men, if faithfully and conscientiously per-
formed, is accepted of God as religious
service. Even the vocation of a servant in
this sense is a service to the Lord; hence
Peter, in eXhorting servants TO be faithful
to their masters, says: "NOt with eye SER
vice, as men pleasers, but as the servants OF
Christ, doing the will of God from the heart
with good will doing service as to the Lord
and not to men,"
st. Paul-"Whatevcr you do-whethery you
eat or drink-do all to the glory Of God"
II is the spirit we carry into our work that
gives it its character as religious or othe"-
wise. Thus secular duties may become holy
duties, or holy duties sccular-the former
elevated and sanctiiied when performed from
pure Notwithstanding God from the
hcart"-the latter secularized and degraded
by sclf-seeking and unworthy considera-
tions.
How beautiful this arrangement Of God!-
that there can be none so poor, none so igno-
rant, none SO burdcncd with worldly care,
none SO oppressed with toll, that they may
not have time and opportunity equally with
the man of leisure, the rich and the learned,
to love and honor God. Then the hnmble
servant who prepares the food or drives the
carriage Of his employer, may serve God as
acccptablyin his calling as the learned judge
On the bench, the teacher in the Sabbath
school, or the minister i'll the pulpit.
1t is not what you do, but the fidelity with
which you serve God, that is Of true value
the one talent is as well rewarded as the
five.
Let desire and purpose to honor the Lord
be carried into all our business, whatever it
may be; and into all we do let full conse-
Grafton be made of all our powers and facul-
ties to hm-all that we have, and all that
VIC are. Let the governing principle Of our
lives be to glorify God Sin our bodies and in
our spirits which arc His" Then our whole
life will be a living sacrilice-holy and ac-
ceptabe- as well the common duties of life
rs those that are regarded more directly
charitable and religious. Thus we may be
always serving God and doing good--not
looking out for grand occasions Or special
opportunities though thus only we could
honor the Master. A. a.

BAD BoYs,-It appears from our ex-
changes, that Clearfeld is not the only town
where young boys are educated on the street af-
ter dark. The Bloomsburs CoimJian and the
Repubiieaa both alude to this modern system Of
education, in the following manner.
"The number Of boys Of tender age who are
permitted to rvam about the streets after night
fall IL beginning to be a subject Of common com
ment with persons who think parents should keep
their children within doors from the time twi-
light ends. The fathers and mothers Of these
boys are sowing bitter harvest, that they will
reap in the wbirlwind OF tears and sorrow. II IL
not an Uncommon thing to hear these urchins in
dulge in the most obscene conversation, and in
blasphemy that would put 10 blush the most har-
dencd adept ia vile language. The police should
be instructed to chase every boy under twelve
years Of age to bis home, IL found on the streets
nfter dark.--Rspubiiean. ifililt
The evil to which our neighbor refers is one
that is very generally complained Of and has re-
Gently attracted unusual attention. But boys be-
tween the ages Of twelve and twenty are perhaps
a greater nuisance in the streets after dark and
do more injury to themselves and others, than do
tho younger ones. II is held by many that n
boy Of any age who is permitted to run the streets
promiscnously at night aud constantly, will new
cr be worth preserving at any rate, but the truth
is that many naturally good boys are thus spoiled
and forever ruined, while the vicious and worth
less are made hundred fold worse. To correct
the evil much seycrer law than one authorix-
ing the arrest Of the boys Is required. The pa
rents are the most guilty parties and ought 10
ceive the principal part Of the punishment.--Co
