secured by mortgage upon real estate in
the city of New York, and that Mr..
Bunker, whose name they bear, is their
agent. They draw on him for the inter-
est, but never touch the principal.
Their investments in North Carolina have
all been made with the interest of the
money.

/ have only given a few Of the many
questions which I asked the Twins during
the night; and during the time was
making nay questions the wife Of Chang
paid the most strict attention, and ap.
peared perfectly absorbed in deep and
solemn thought. It had NJ doubt oc>
cured to her for the FIRST time that she
had united her destinies to men given to
superstition and idolatry, and whose opin'
ions and feelings on this important sub
ject were perfectly at variance with heI
own, and from whom she could receive nc
kind and tender instruction upon this sub
iect, with which her souls eternal inter
est was 50 closely connected. This, t.
her, was, no doubt, a solemn moment
and 50 it would be to all who have beer
taught to look forward by faith to "tha
city that hath foundations, and who's
maker and builder is God"
