A DOUBLE-HEADED SNAKE.
DR.. Robinson, of Philadelphia, re-
Gently discovered near Burnwood, this
county, a double-headed snake, of the
common chain, or ring" variety. 1t
has two perfect heads, both having
the scales characteristic of the species.
When captured, one head was devour-
ing toad, while the other was engag-
ing a ground mole. The specimen
measured thirty-four inches from the
extremity of the right head to the tip
of the tail, while from the left head
to the tip of the tail it is slightly
larger.
The left head and continuation seems
to be the snake proper, and the right
head a sort of graft set in the main
trunk. The two heads are nearly three
quarters of an inch apart, with fold
of skin on each side from the corner
Of the mouth to the other. The snake
has to esophagi, or gullets, which come
together into a common one, so that 1t
is capable Of eating with both mouths.
The left head is a little longer than the
right.

To own that same island and all the things

The thesis of government good and strong.

With Justice and Honor in every clause
So he drafted code that would go thirteen

And he read it aloud to the Fool and the

Referred to committee reported with praise:
And then on each section the voting be-

With courteous discussion to any amount.
They voted on this and they voted on that:

The other mans head piece from under his

Thus ever. Whenever a freeman shall choose
To shake the old ballot-box dice he will

A GIRLS STRUGGLE.


Yet Isabel a Nickerson must have
been very perverse indeed, for she con-
tinued to do it.
Being somewhat acquainted with this
poor girl, as she was neighbor of
mine, it almost broke my heart to read
such an announcement.
She must have had stout heart, the
paper says, for although could not
help noticing that the poor girl was
having a hard struggle against the
world, it was not in mind that she had
reached such extreme. The Traveller
did not say she was dead, but the I'm
fortunate girl did die in less than "a
hours.
Oh, men and women, wage earners
ofMasschusetts, how much longer will
we stand this? Why should we not
at once put our heads together and
put a stop to these things by at least
inauguratinga system ofpublic works
and improvements for the employment
of this large number of unfortunates
out of employment. The Social Dem
ocratic party, under the banner of
Socialism, declares that the collective
ownership Of all means of production
and distribution will assure to every
man, woman and child life liberty and
happiness, and why should we not
haveit?
Let us send to our state legislature
next lall more men like our comrades,
Carey and Scates.

On quiet simmer day,
In my heart | had no pity
For the poor along the way.
Everything to me seemed sunny:
Why should | beguile my time
In giving here and there my money,
priced as much as they dime.
So in my pockets very deep,
strove to fit my hands
When DER my hard heart there did creep
Some gentle fairys wand.
So turning now to my left,
A goodly sum layed,
Who could have placed it more deft,
For the widow she had prayed.
My hasty steps then went
Far down the narrow street.
How glad | was, did repent
see sight 50 sad and sweet.
A youth with such handsome face,
He came to me and said:
Eve been running in the race,
But cannot earn my bread.
| withdrew my other hand
And gave him all had,
Saying it was from the wand;
His face was bright not sad.
| once q handsome lad had lost.
did not now know where:
The wide ocean he had crossed,
But maybe he never lived there.
The lad grew strangely white:
All what have / done,
For in helping him tonight
/ had helped my only son.
