SYMPATHY.

Oh, mothers whose darlings are sleeping,
Thank God for their pillows to night;
And pray for the mothers now weeping
Der pillows too smooth and too white;
Where bright little heads oft have lain,
And soft little cheeks have been pressed
Oh, mothers who know not the pain,
Take courage and bear all the rest!
For the eombre winged angel is going,
With pitiless flight DER the land,
And we wake in the morn, never knowing,
What he, ere the night may demand.
Yes, tonight, while our darlings are sleepin.
There's many a soft little bed,
Whose pillows arc moistened th weeping
For the loss of one dear little head
There are hearts ON whose innermost altar
There is nothing but ashes, tonight:
There are voices whose tones sadly falter.
And dim eyes that shrink from the light,
Oh, mothers whose child an are Sleeping.
As ye bend TO caress the air heads,
Pray, pray for the mothers how weeping
Ger pitiful. smooth little beds.

A Second Edition of the Siamese
Twins.
Troy, Mo-, Herald.

Troy, Mo-, Herald.
of this place We went out yesterday morn
ing about three miles in the country to see
curious monstrosty. It was a pair of
twins joined together in front nearly the
whole length of the body. The parents are
colored. The father is named Henry Over
all, but is generally known as 'Dibble," or
the negro who PAGES. He is about fifty
years of age. This was the tenth birth
the other nine children are all alive. The
twins were born Sunday night. The color
ed woman who was in attendance says she
was too much frightened at the unusual
appearance to pay particular attention, but
thinks she is confident that the twins ex-
hibited no signs of life at birth. The
mother had received two or three severe
falls ab"ut a month ago, when the ground
was covered with ice, and had not been
we'll ince. The presentation was vertex
of the larger one, and the birth was very
easy.
The twins were taken out of the coffin
and undressed for inspection. AS they
were laid it seemed at first view that one
was lying across the breast of the other,
both faces upturned. This shape was due
to the fact that most of the viscera lay on
the side of the Union that was exposed, and
also that the organs in the cavity of the
chest were, like those of the famous Caro-
lima twins, unduly developed on one side.
The impression was also heightened by the
circumstance that the spine OF one had q
cartilaginous joint in about the centre Of
the dorsal region, which allowed consider
able angle backwards. The union, as re-
vealed by closer examination, commenced
at point where the collar bone would have
joined the bereat bone had the latter been
present. The collar bones met squarely at
the point of union, as did the ribs ON either
side. The junction was everywhere firm,
and even below the ribs, apparently well
flanked with cartilage. The union termina-
ted a short distance above the pelvic bone.
In the centre of the lower point of union,
and little to one side (on the better de-
veloped side) was attached the placental
cord. The children were both females, and
were otherwise well formed, except that
theieft for earn of one was only half the
length Of its fellow. and the hand, strongly
fiexed upon the arm, was longer and fiatter
than natural, with very short foreinger,
and without a thumb. The twins were
about fourteen inches long and weighed
six pounds.
Efforts were made 10 induce the parents
to sell the bodies bnt the mother would
listen to nothing OF the kind They were
buried yesterday.

A lady who has herself a fortune of

never dreamt of habitually wearing silk
dresses. If a girl went out to pay visit
in her best dress, often the only silk she
had, she would exchange it on reaching
home for less costly attire. But nowadays
the most expensive materials seem reckon

A lady correspondent inquiries of an East

at home in the EVENING"" Women are
constantly asking the question; but every
woman of sense ought to know that she
can keep her husband at home easily
enough, by simply opening first-class
beer garden in the back yard. It is hardly
necessary to say that few pretty waiter
girls thrown in, by way Of supplementary
advertisement, might have q tendency to
drive him abroad, but it would be ridicu-
lous to omit them nevertheless.

WHAT IS A BERETTA A?-This question
which has been frequently asked since the
cable announced the departure from Rome
of Papal envoys bearing the insignia of his
new Office to Cardinal McClosky. of New
York, is thus answered by the New York
World "The beretta is the usual square cap
worn when in church by all Catholic priests
who are not officiating at the altar; only its
color is scarlet instead Of black. The ca
lotta is the skull cap. and is little head
covering which just hides the crown of the
head, and is in size no bigger than half a
cocoanut. This was brought his eminence
by Count Marefoschi, and will be always
worn by him even when in his private
apartments. The cardinal will have to go
TO Rome to receive the famous hat in person
from the hands of his holiness the Pope,
and this journey he viii perform during the
coming summer"

WATCHING FOR FATHER

There's little face at the window,
And two dimpled hands on the pane:
And somebody's eyes are fixed upon
The gate at the end of the lane
The hills have caught the shadow
Which hcralds the coming night.
And the lane, with its fiowery fringe grows dim.
To the watchers anxious sight,
Where, half way down,
Like glitterlhg crown,
FREELY band have clustered
Round as an aster's leaf
royal chief
driven herd are mustered.
Away behind
With busy mind,
But step that is light and free,
And sun-burnt face
On which the trace
OF a hard day's work you see
Comes the farmer home from toll,
Driving the cows before him;
And the child-eyes strained at the window there
Were the first in the house that saw him.
Ah! would. when the day is done
And leave my cares behind me,
could have such pair of winsome eyes,
Searching the night to find me!

And scathed in many strange mishap
Still soft ascends thy circling smoke g.

Each puff recalls feeting Joy
That passed. like it, in smoke away,
And left, ike thee about my heart
Bnt ashes of the bllsrful day,
Each spark recalls glistening eye
That dimmed, like it. with Times swift flight,
falling star, that sped. like thee,
Through dreary shadows of the night.
Thou little world of fire and smoke,
And ashes of the happy past;
Perish all other friends besides
Save thou, my dearest and my last!

An Gbllvi0uS Hotel Clerk.

CURTIS GUILD writes as follows in the
Commercial Bulletin "An amusing il
lustration | must relate of the utter ip
norance of an English employee of any
detail of business outside of his own par
ticular department, although the fact is
frequently commented on by Americans
One would suppose that the clerk in the
Great Northwestern Railroad Hotel in
Liverpool, whose duty it was to register
each guests name on arrival, assign him
room, and receive payment on depart
ure, would insensibiy acquire, from the
very fact of observing arrivals and de-
partures of guests, a knowledge of the
hours of arrival aud departure of trains,
and more especially as her constant po-
sition (the clerk was woman) was with
in dozen feet of the great entrance
door of the hotel into the station. But
no; it was not her business 10 know, and
she really knew nothing of the matter, as
appeared by the following dialogue: At
what hour does the train from Chester
arrive" If you ask the porter he will
tell you But the porter is not here at
present. Don't you know whether there
are any trains that arrive in the fore
noon" I'm sure l can't tell you, for
trains be coming and going all
day, and my business is to take
travellers names on the book
and assign them rooms. 1t is the porter
as knows the trains time But the in
coming trains stop within dozen rods
of where you stand, and the travellers
for the hotels from them come first di.
rectly to you; you surely recollect
whether you are accustomed to see any
from Chester by morning trains? Beg
your pardon, | never took notice when
they come. | knows there is gentlemen
from Chester comes here often. Sir
Henry BOwring was ere once from
Chester, but whether twas in the morn
ing or afternoon l quite forget. The
porter will tell you l turned to the
porter, who had now arrived, with the
same question and got the following re-
ply: Chester, sir? Tell you in one
minute,' and he took down a we'll
thumbed Bradshaw's Guide and after
consulting its pages for about five min
utes continued: Yes, sir; three trains
in forenoon, two in afternoon giving
the hour. Now the barmaid, to whom |
first applied, acknowledged that she had
held her position matter of eighteen
months, and the incoming trains actual
Iy Jared the room in which she stood,
and yet she had not the slightest knowl-
edge of their hour of arrival because it
is the porter's business, do you see?' The
porter himself was not up in the time
table sufficiently to answer without re-
freshing his memory, and yet this is a
very large and generally well-kept
house"
