The True Measure of Life.

We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts,
not breath;
In feelings. not in figures or the dial
We should count time by heart-throbs
when they beat
For God, for man, for duty-He most
lives,
Who thinks most, feels noblest, acts the
Life is but means unto an End; that
End
Beginning, man, and End to all things,
God. Bailey
If this sentiment be true and. who
shall doubt it-then indeed does it lie
within the power of every human be-
ing to make his or her life worth while
If our lives are really measured by our
deeds, rather than the passing of years,
then the fullness of the measure lies
with us and i our deeds count for or
against us in the final hearing before the
great Judge, Mans destiny is, to this
extent, in his own hands, for it lies
within our power as free moral agents,
to make our deeds either good or evil;
to do the things that will bring unhap-
piness to those about US or to do the
things that will brighten life, both where
and when we can. The responsibility
of it is great, but we should at least try
to be equal to it. Mere breathing is
not the sole purpose of our being, but
the thoughts we think count much for
good or evil and we should try to think
of the brighter and better things of life,
not that we should shut ourselves away
from all evils or evildoers. but we
should shut the evil out OF our lives and
use our knowledge Of it to cure it in
Others The evildoer is often the vic
tim Of circumstances and to help him
we must know him, his thoughts and
bis motives and while wo should try
to live true, clean lives, we should not
forget the temptations that come to all,
nor should we fail in helping those who
are even weaker than we, to resist them.
If we are to count time by heart-throbs,
then assuredly should they beat For
God, for man, for duty thus giving us
the assurance that reward will come
when the great battle has been won and
the record of our lives has been finally
made up.

the chase Both kept the finest bred of
hounds with which they hunted the
rabbit and chased the fox Fishing was
a favorite past time, the mountain
streams furnishing abundant trout and
other FISH usually found in the cool
streams of the mountains. They had
specially made vehicle in which they
made their trips to the markets and to
the county seat They were both dill
gent in their work about the farm. They
built their own barns. They scaled the
roof with the agility of the normal man.
The blood of the foreigner is distinct
in every one of the children. Black
hair, dark eyes, brown complexion, ty-
pical of their Eastern birth, They lived
to rather an old age They died in the
year 1874. One was often sick without
materially affecting the other. They
were distinct personalities Each had
his own favorite diet Both enjoyed
comparatively good health. Occasion
for doctor was rare. The immediate
cause of death is not stated. They re-
tired early as was their habit. Before
the clear dawn of day Eng awoke and
found Chang dead A doctor from Mt.
Airy was summoned in all possible
haste. When he came he found the
blood from the dead man had coursed
its way into the living one. Death was
inevitable So it was decided not to
separate them. Let them die as they
have lived-joined together" Their
bodies were taken to Philadelphia, but
we're afterwards recovered by one Of
the sons and brought back to Surry
where they are buried
This is for us an interesting story,
and is here related with the hope that
there are others as we'll as we who
NAV find some interest in its recital.
We do not give it as complete 1t is
simply the fragments OF what we have
gathered on a recent visit to this sec
ton OF the State History records no
such freak in any other part of the
world. There have been other mon
strosties. but this one is unique.-Cay0-
