A MEcHAHIc.

A Young man commenced visiting
young lady and seemed well pleased
One evening he had called when it
was quite late, which led the young
lady to inquire where he had been. =
q had to work tonight" What do
you work for living 2" she inquired
in astonishment. "Ccrtainly" replied
the young man. +" am mechanic" !"
Il dislike the name of mechRnic,v and
she turned up her pretty nose. This
was the last time the young man vis-
tied that young lady, He is now a
wealthy man and has one of the
incest women in the country for. a
wife. The young lady who ,disliked
the name of mechanic is now the wife
of poor fool-a regular vagrant
about grog shops, and the soft, YER
dant, miserable girl is obliged to take
in washings TO support herself and
children. You dislike the name of
mechanic, eh-you whose brothers
are well dressed loafers. We pity
any girl who is so verdant, so soft, as
to think less of man because he is a
mechanic one of Gods noblemen,
the most dignitied aud honored per-
sonages of heavens creatures. Be-
ware, young ladies, how you treat
young men who wei k for a living,
for you may one day be mepiaI to
one of them yourself. Far better TO
discharge the weIlsfed pauper, with
all his rings, jewelry aud brazenness
and pomposity, and take to your affee-
lltions the callous handed, industrious
mechanic, Thousands have bitterly
relented their folly who have turned
their backs on honesty. A few years
have taught them a severe lesson.--

CAUSE or THE DEMISE OF THE

@A~s-- N9=efa = y = r. s+sssI
The interview we publish / n anoth-
er column between the Herald report
er and the doctor who attended the
Siamese twins during life furnishes
the most interesting inf0rmatin az to
the cause of their death. According
to the doctors theory the lives OF the
two men were seperate and only their
bodies were bound together by the
connecting Iigament. In support of
his views he states that he has known
one of the twins TO be sick while the
other enjoyed perfect health. But the,
most important point is that he, has
noticed difference of twenty, beats
in the pulsation of these two men. If
sufficient care was taken in making
this observation and its correetness
can be relied upon. it effectively dis
poses of the theory that these men
had but one helrt. We know that
the temperaments and tastes of the
twins differed widely, and that there
was no intimate sympathy between
their thoughts or feelings, for one was
often merry while the other was ill
tempered and morose. This differ
ence of disposition, marking the ex-
istence of two separate identities is

may be wrong as suggested by some
of the twins friends, but the evidence
SO far obtained supports the doctors
views. Itis to be regretted thatper-
sons of speculative turn of mind will
not even respect the sanctity of death
Seine people, il is said, are eadeavor-
ing TO obtailathe consent of tue twins
wives, to the exhibition Of the bodies
of Chang and Eng. Such q project
has something. in 1t extremely repuls-
i've, and we hope the children of the
dead men will have sufieient respect
for themselves and for their parents
to refuse to sanction the contemplated
outrage on decency. The ciFenmstan-
ees attending the death of Chang aud
Eng are such as to cali for 2 careful
post -0s0rtena examination. Their death
was sudden and unlocked d-for, and it
was the duty of the Coroner of the
district to have empanBeled 8 jury to
inquire into the immediate cause OF
death. There are many reasons why
the post-nsoTtem examination should
be made. The interests ofasclenee, as
well as the protection of the citizens,
demand that an investigation should
be held. and we hope the Coroner of
the district will take the matter in
hand if the consent of the relatives
be refused.
