At the time when the sea captain
had paid his visit at Mrs Anderkin's
house, Esther's position became sub
Ject to certain changes. One little do
mestic privilege followed another, so
gradually and SO modestly that the
house-keeper found herself loved and
honored member Of the family, without
being able to trace by what succession
of events she had risen to the new
place that he occupied. The secret
confded to the two ladies had been
strictly preserved Esther never even
suspected that they knew the deplora-
bic story of her lovers death. Her life,
after what she had suffered, was not
prolonged to great age. She died
peacefully unconscious of the terrors
of death. Her last words were spoken
with smile. She looked at the loving
friends assembled round her bed, and
said to them, "My dear one is waiting
for me. Goodbye"

THERE Is NO DEATH.

There is no death. The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And, bright in Heaven .jeweled crown,
They shine forevermore.
There is no death. The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
To golden grain or mellow frnit,
Or rainbow-tinted flowers
The granite rocks disorganize
And feed the hungry moss thew bear;
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death. The leaves may fall
And flowers may fade and pass away;
They only walt through wintry hours
The coming of May Day.
There is no death! An angel form
Walks over the earth with silent tread,
And bears our bestowed things away,
And then we call them 'dead''
He leaves our hearts all desolate,
ne HIuthS our ldiIfSt, S"ttltSt HbNtIS,
TranSrlanted INTO bliss, they now
Auorn immortal bhwerS.
The birdlike voice, with Joyous tones
Make glad these scenes of sin and strife
Sings now ali everlasting song
Around the tree of life.
Where'er He sees smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for talnt and vice,
He bears it to the world of light,
To dwell in paradise.
Borne into that undying life,
They leave us but to come again;
With JOY we welcome them the same,
Except their sin and pain.
And ever near US, though unseen,
The dear, immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundess universe
Is life-there is no death.

The Twins of Locana.

John and Jacob Tocci, who have been
exhibited in nearly every city OF Europe,
and were soon to have been seen in this
country, are dying at the Prater. The
boys resemble each other exactly, and
are now in their tenth year. JOHN and
Jacob are separate as far as the sixth rib,
and have one abdomen aud have one pair
of legs between them. Jacob moves the
right leg, John the left, The twins can
not walk, and keep their balance by lac
ing their arms around each others neck.
A despatch from Vienna to the ST. James
Gazette (Aug. 25) says: Jacob eats, often
and heartily, and is the healthier of the
two, and to all appearance it is he who
keeps his brother alive. Two days ago
the twins auarreled over a toy, and John
grew so excited that his heart blood
suddenly ceased to flow, and he changed
to a condition of complete lethargy, from
which he had not awoke on the following
morning. The boy suffered from the same
complaint year ago in Berlin, and Prof
Nirchow then declared that recurrence
of the lethargy would certatainly put an
end to the twins life. A number of
Vienna physicians are observing the nal.
ady, but they entertain little hopes of
Johns life, and if John dies Jacob must
follow him to the grave. The twins as
they lie in their bed offer strange con-
trast Jacob with feveIish eyes and red
face seems to harbor all the blood that
has retreated from Johns liIeless body.
The conscious boy cries necessarily, be-
cause he has often heard Professor Nir-
elbows remark repeated, and knows that
his brothers death is but the harbinger
of his own. The poor creatures are
meeting with the same fate that some
time ago put au end to the life of the
Siamese twins, the second of whom died
of poisoned blood vessels, after having
spent six terrible hours with the corpse
of his brother. The advisability of an
operation separating the living from the
dead brother was discussed at the time
but before resolution could be taken
death had done its work. II is stated
that a London museum becomes possess
sOr of the Locana twins remains in case
of their death by a payment of $40, 900
to their parents.

HINTS ON READING.

Literary Gluttony as Bad for the Mind as
Too Much Feeding is for the Body.
From The Quirpr.
The readers Coleridge has divided into
four classes. He says: "The first class
of readers may be compared to an hour
glass their reading being as the sand, it
runs in and runs out and leaves not
vestige behind. A second class resembles
a sponge, which imbibes everything and
returns it in nearly the same state. A
third class is like a jeIly-bag, which al
lows all that is pure to pass away and re-
tains only the refuse and dregs. The
fourth class may be compared to the
slave of Golconda, who, casting aside all
that is worthless, preserves only the pure
gems" 1t is to be feared that in the
present day the greatest number of read
ers belong to the first of these classes.
The amount read is something almost
fabulous, but the results are compare
lively trihlng Volume after volume is
perused, pamphlets and papers are men,
tally consumed, but the stores of knowl-
edge are not perceptibly increased. This
charge lies not only against those who
read secular works it applies to too
great an extent to those who read the
Scriptures and other treatises upon
things divine. Lord Bacon once said
that reading makes full man." He
could not have meant the kind of reading
that is now to>prevalent. The omniyor-
throuh page after page, the butterfly
readers, who taste some flowers of liter.
allure here and there, but never settle
down to a resolute extraction of the
sweets, are found at the year S end, after
all their reading. not more "full" intel
lectually, but oftener more foolish than
before. Why is this? Because in these
express days the reading has been done
as quickly as possible, and because what
is read one hour is buried beneath heap
of multifarious matter the next hour.
But if man read upon a prudent plan,
if he digest what he mentally receives,
his reading will become a delightful
source of very extensive information and
sound wisdom.
Reading should be in moderation. 1t is
possible to devour whole libraries and
yet learn nothing. 1t is said that Miss
Martineau often read in one hour no
more than single page of good book.
An eminent divine and author IS said to
have had but three boohs-the Bible
Josephus' works and Crudens Concord
ance. A celebrated French author being
laughed at because of the smallness of
his library, replied "Ah, when wanted
book | made it, On the other hand,
Madame de Stael- Holsten is said to have
devoured 600 novels before she was 10
years of age. and to have read those 600
in three moDths-on an average six each
day! Louis XVI, while imprisoned for
period of five months and seven days,
read 157 volumes, or one book a day.
Such literary gluttony could have left
little good results. Too much reading is
as injurious to the mind as too much
feeding is to the body.
