A Mighty Mean Trick.

Low, skeptical fellows are always ex-
posing spirits. The mediums scarcely
gets hold of a good thing, when some
body comes a grab game of some sort,
and breaks up the seance. 1t is not
very long since even Daniel Webster was
treated with signal discourtesy. 4 base
minded, scheming man obtained en-
trance to a seance where Daniel Web
stear habitually materialized, walking
from the cabinet across the room, look
ing as be had looked in life, but MAX
ing not the slightest sound of a foot
step. The base-minded man threw a
number Of large trunk tacks, which
have large heads, and always fall point
upward, on the floor where Daniel Web
ster always walked. The consequence
was that when the expounder of the
constitution came out of the cabinet
and commenced to walk across the
room, he suddenly paused, and lifting
one foot, applied his hand to the sole
thereof. Upon taking another step, he
paused again, and remarked in low
voice, I" Ouch" Shortly after this he
lost his balance and sat down on the
floor, and Immediately retreated into
the cabinet greatly disguised.

A Wonderful Pair of Twins.
New York Tribune.

A pair of twins are now on exhibition
at the Aquarium, and are attracting
much attention from physicians and
others. The two children are girls, and
were born on December %, 1877 at
San Benoit, town about forty miles
north of Montreal, Canada. From their
heads to the first lumbar vertebre, the
children are possessed of perfectly form
ed and entirely distinct members, but
below that point the bodies become
one. There is not the slightest deform-
ity about any of their organs. They
have two distinct sets of internal organs
and four arms, but only one abdomen
and two legs. Each child controls one
set of organs but only one leg. Piercing
one leg with pin will produce signs of
other will be entirely free from any
sensation. They do not act in unison.
While one laughs and play the other
sleeps or cries for hunger. Sometimes
they both sleep together, and when
both are awake they have the greatest
desire to play with each others hands.
The features are very regular, and the
face Of each child is very pretty for a
child only Z months old. The limbs
are as large as those of an ordinary
child. Where the two bodies grow in
to one the bulk is not increased, but
gradually decreases to the usual size.
They were exhibited to number of
physicians on Saturday, who pronounc-
ed the pair to be one of the greatest
freaks of nature they had ever seen.
They thought the two bodies were
merged into one most naturally, and
believed the children would live to the
average age. The children have been
named Rose and Marie.
The parents are Sim and Anne
Drouin, who were born in Marseiles,
France. Their grand parents are still
living there. A few years ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Drouin emigrated to San Benoit
and engaged in farming. They are
both 26 years old. the husband being
four days older than his wife. They
have only one other child, girl who is
2 Yeas old, and who enjoys the best of
health and suffers from no deformity.
The father is tall and stout. He weighs
$50 pounds, is six feet high, and has the
appearance Of farmer. The mother
is short and stout, and weighs about 80
pounds less than her husband. Both
parents are of dark complexion, They
speak no English. One child looks very
much like It's mother, while the other
bears striking resemblance to the
father.

ought to be pulled crosswise instead of
lengthwise, particularly in the neigh
borhood Of the neck. A lengthwise
pull draws the front of the neck-band
up somewhat directly under your chin,
where 1t was never meant to go, and of
course that spoils the set of your collar
With the front of your neckband an
inch too high, and your collar an inch
too long, you have a most undesirable
combination. The speaker was right.
As soon as my husband ordered the
necessary changes to be made in the

other distressed men.
BOOKLESs HOMEs.-A dreary place is a
bookless home, my young friends; see
that in founding a home for yourselves
you Go not neglect the household libra
ry. We rejoice in pretty furniture and
artistic pictures; but we want to see a
new book sandwiched between every
two purchases, and newspapers and
magazines drifting around so thickly
that the very odor eff the sitting-room is
imperilled. We never knew anything
worse than intelligent sons and daughters
to grow out of such untidiness. To go
to housekeeping without a family Bible
and unabridged dictionary ought to be
elected criminal offense. Here lies
the beginning of wisdom. Then we
should add modern history to ancient,
poetry to science, Scott, Thackeray,
Dickens, Hawthorne and Holmes to
theology. We should know the opin-
ions of the best minds of to-day, upon
all questions of social life, of philoso-
ply, of agriculture. We have known
famous business men, keen fanciers, to
grow out Of bookless homes, but never
the great-hearted and tender-souled.
So parents, remembering this glance
over your libraries to see if there be
not some vacancy to fill up with a vol
ume which will add to the cheer of
windy winter nights. Get for the boy
a book of history or travels; for the
girl copy of Tennyson, or Longfellow,
or Browning some sweet poet who
sings along the quiet wales Of life in
notes we all can understand! Win them
to read aloud around the evening lamp,
and most unconsciously their young
souls will be drawn out to follow after
those who call-to follow, and sing, and
be glad-for great is the power of infu-
ence.

Mans Age.

Few men die of age. Almost all die
of disappointment, passion, mental or
bodily toll, or accident. The passions
kill men sometimes, even suddenly
The common expression chOked with
passion, has little exaggeration in it; for
even though not SUDDENLY fatal, strong
passions shorten life. Strong-bodied
men often die young men live
longer than the strong, for the strong
use their strength, and the weak have
none to use. The latter take care of
themselves. the former do not. As it is
with the body. so it is with the mind
and temper. The strong are apt to
break, or, like the candle, to run; the
weak to burn out. The inferior ami
mails, which live temperate lives, have
generally their prescribed number of
years. The horse lives twenty five; the
OK fifteen or twenty; the hon about
twenty; the dog ten or twelve: the rab-
bit eight; the guinea pig SIX or seven
years. These numbers all bear SINH
lar proportion TO the time the animal
takes to grow its full size. But man, of
the animals, is one that seldom lives
this average. He ought to live hun
dred years, according to physical law,
for five times twenty are one hundred,
but instead of that, he scarcely reaches
on an average four times his growing
period; the cat six times; the rabbit
eight times the standard Of measure
ment. The reason is obvious is
not only the mos irregular and the
most Incorporate, but the most labori-
Gus and hard-worked of all the animals.
He is also the most irritable of all ami
mails; and there is no reason to believe,
though we cannot tell what an animal
secretly feels, that, more than any 9th
er animal, man cherishes wrath to keep
it warm, and consumes himself with the
fire of his own secret reflection.

BEAUTYS PRICE.
BY EXETER EDMoNDs.

At the seaside first saw her.
Mid the tr0i8 temps of the dances,
Graduating as the cider
Ger the crested pillows glances-
Bronze brown hair and rosebud sweetness
Perfect throat and pure complexion
Features chiseled to completeness,
Tones attuned to soft infection.
And a soul looks from a chamber.
Yiolet-tinted, draped with lashes,
C0yly hiding half the danger
That beneath the white lid flashes,
While the gliding of her footsteps
And the dropping of her shoulders
Are poetry of motion
Soul enthralling to behO!ders.
