Trials OF a Twin.

In form and feature. fare and limb,
/ grew so like my brother.
That folks got taking me for him,
Aud each for one another.
IL uuzz'ed all our kith and kin
It reached fearful pitch;
For one of US was born a twin,
And not a soul knew which.
Ore day, tn make the matter worse,
Before our Dnguss were fixed,
As we we're being washed hy nurse,
We got completely mixed,
Aud thus. You see, BY Fate's decree.
Or, rather. nurses whim,
Ny brother John got christened me,
And got christened him.
This fatal likeness even dogged
Ny footsteps when at school.
And | wes always getting fl leged,
When John turned out fool
/ put this question ffuitlessly
To every one / knew:
"What would you do il you were me,
To prove that you were you"
Our close resemblance turned the tide
or our domestic life:
For, somehow. my intended bride
Became my brothers wife.
In fact, year after year the same
Absurd mistakes went on,
And when died the neiRhhors came
And buried brother John.

Political cowardice Ia poor policy on the
eve OF campaign. Republican Senators
have been rated BY Democratic organs for
their alleged desirs to cast cloud over the
fisheries treaty and reject IL regardless Of
its merite. For answer, 27 Of them voted
to discuss the treaty in open session, 60 that
all the world might decide between them
and the administration. but they were met
by the votes OF "a Democratic Senators and
one Republican. The Democrats were
afraid to hazard an open discussion OF the
treaty and an exposure of the means by
which Cleveland proposes to secure tran
guilty between this country and Canada.
They are evidently ashamed OF the work
Of their own party and afraid to defend It.

and interest OF the occasion. A great
