then made vows solemn as eternity;
and don't you tempt me to break
them."
The troubler was startled ai the
earnestness of the hitherto silent, im
movable man, and asked, "What
happened to you thirty years ago?"
"Well, sir, I will tell you. I was
drawn into a scheme just like this of
yours, to uproot one of God's ser
vatits from the field iu which He had
planted him. In my blindness, I fan
cied it a little tiling to remove one
of the 'stars' which Jesus hold in
his right hand, if thereby my ear
could be tickled by more flowery
words, and the pews filled with those
who turned away from the simplicity
of the gospel. land the men that
led me for I admit that I was a
dupe and a tool flattered ourselves
that we were conscientious. We
thought we were doing God service
when we drove that holy man from
his pulpit aud his work, and said we
considered his work ended in B ,
where I theu lived. We groaned
because there was no revival, while
we were gossipping about and criti
cising, iid crushing instead of up
HoTdingby' bur efforts aud our pr ty
ers, the instrument at whose hand we
harshly demandef's-the blessings.
Well, sir, he could notvdVlig"orrthe
chariot of salvation with a half a
dozen of us tauuting him for his
weakness, while we hung as a dead
weight '.o the wheels; he had not
the power of the Spirit, and could
not convert men; so we hunted him
like a deer, till worn aud bleeding,
he fled into a covert to die. Scarce
ly had he gone, when God came
among us by his spirit to show that
he had blessed the labors of his dear,
rejected servant. Our own hearts
were broken, and our wayward chil
dren converted, and I resolved at a
convenient seasou to visit my former
pastor and confess my sin, aud thank
him for his faithfulness to .my way
ward sons, which, like the long bu
ried seed, had now spruug up. But
God denied me that relief, that he
might teach me a lesson every child
of his ought to learn that he that
tot.c!ieth one ot his servants
touches the apple of ' his eye. I
heard my pastor was ill, and taking
my oldest son with me, set out on a
twenty-live miles' ride to see him. It
was evening when I arrived, and his
wife with the spirit which any wo
man ought to exhibit toward one
who had so wronged her husband,
denied me admittance to his cham
ber. She said, and her words were
arrows to my soul, "He may be dy
ing, and the sight of your face might
add to his anguish!"
"Had it come to this," I said to
myself, "that the man whose labors
had, through Christ, brought me in
to his fold, who had consoled my
spirit in terrible bereavement, aud
who had till designing men had
alienated us, been to me as a brother
that this man could not die iu
peaceful my face before bim? ,God
pity me,' I cried, 'what have 1 done?'
1 confessed my sius to that mjek
woman, and implored . her for
Christ's sake, to let me kneel before
his dying servant, and receive his
forgivuess. What did I care then
whether the pews by tne door were
rented or not? I would gladly have
taken his whole family to my home
forever as my own flesh and blood,
but no such happiuess was in store
for me." ' 1
As I entered the room of the bless
ed warrior, whose armor was falling
from his limbs, he opened his lan-
uid eyes, and said, "Brother Lee!
other Lee! 1 bent over him aud
sobbed out, "My pastor! my pastor!"
Then raising his white hand, he said
in a deep, impressive voice, 'touch
not mine anuoiuted, and do my
prophets no harm!' I spoke tender
ly to him, aud told him I had come
to confess my sin, and bring some of
his fruit to him calling my son to
tell him how he had found Christ.
But he was unconscious to all arouud
the sight of my face had brought
the last pang of earth to his troubled
spirit. -. - -
1 kissed his brow, and told him
how dear he had been to me; I crav
ed his pardon for my unfaithfulness,
and promised to care for his widow
and fatherless little ones; but his
only reply, murmured as if in a
troubled dre.im, was, "Touch not my
annomted, and do my prophets no
harm." !
I stayed by him all night, and at
daybreak I closed his eyes. I offered
his widow a nouse to live in the re
mainder of her days; but like a he
roine she said, 'I freely forgive you.
But my children, who entered deep
ly into their lather's anguish, shall
never see me so regardless of his
memory as to take anything from
those who caused it. He has left us
all with his covenant God, and he
will care for us,' '
"Weli, sir, those dying words
sounded in my ears from that coffin
and from that grave. When I slept,
Christ stood before my dreams, say
ing, "Touch not mine annointed,
and do my prophets no harm."
These words followed me till I fully
realized the esteem in which Christ
holds those men who had given up
all for his sake, and I vowed to love
them evermore lor his sake, even if
they are not perfect. And since that
day, sir, I have talked less than be
fore, and have supported my pastor,
even if he is not a "very extraordi
nary man." My tongue shall cleave
to the roof of my mouth, and my
light hand forget her cunning, be
fore I dare to put asunder what God
has joined together. When a min
ler's work is done in a place, I he
lieve God will show it to him. 1
will not join you, sir, in tho scheme
that brought you h re; ami, nu re

from your lips, I shall a-k ray breth
ren to deal with you ps with those
who cause divisions. I . would give
all I own to recall what I did thirty
years ago. Stop where you are, and
pray God, if perchance the thought
i your heart may bo forgiven you."
This decided reply put au cud to
the new-comer's eliorts- to get a min
ister who could make mire stir, and
left him frjo to lay out roads ami

THE SIAMESE TWINS.
BY MARK TWAIN
In one of "Mark Twain's," sketcl
books published by Iltttledge ii
England, is the following minute,
entertaining, and just now especiall
valuable a -count of the habits of tin
Siamese Twins. It was written sev
errtl years before tlie present niautlt.
of grief had involved the entire fam
ily in the privacy of sadness, and its
republication just at this time is
solelv in tlie cause of science and
not to satisfy idle curiosity or to m
tni'leupoti a f imily alreadvso much
cut up in affliction :
I do not wish to write of the per
sonal habits of those strange crea
tures solelv, but also of certain cu-riott-t
details of various kind con
cerning them, which, belonging t
their private life, have never crept
into print. Knowing the twins in
timately, I feel that I am peculiarly
well qualified for the task I have ta
ken upon myself.
The Siamese twins are naturally
tender and affectionate in disposi
tion, and have clung to each other
with singular fidelity throughout a
long and eventful life. Even as
children they were inseparable
om paniori s7rKT"It is "noticeAi ' th a t
thei-jiTways seemed to prefer each
other's society to that of any other
persons. They nearly always play
ed together: and, so accustomed
was their mother to this peculiarity,
that whenever one of them chanced
to be lost, she usually hunted for
one of them satisfied that when she
found that one she would find his
brother somewhere in the immedi
ate neighborhood. And yet these
creatures were ignorant nnd unlet
tered barbarians themselves, and
the offspring of barbarians, who
knew not tlie light of philosophy
and science. What a withering re
biike is this to our boasted civiliza
tion, with its quarrelings, its wrang
iings, and its separation of broth
ers. As men, the twins have not al
ways lived in perfect accord; but
still there has always been a bond
between them which made them un
willing to go away from each other
aud dwell apart. They have even
occupied the same house, as a gener
al thing, and it is believed that they
have never failed to sleep together
on any night since they were botne.
Ho w surely do. the habits of a lii'e
ime become second nature to us?
The twins always go to bed at -the
same time; but Chang usually gets up
an hour before his brother. By an un
derstanding between themselves,
Chang does all the iudoorwork and,
Eiig i nns on erraugs. This is lie
cause Eng iikes to go out; Chang's
habits are sedentary. However,
Chang always goes along. Eng is a
Baptist, and Chang is a Roman
Catholic; still, to please his brother,
Chang consented to be baptized at
the same time that Eng - was, on
condition that it should uot "count."
During the war they were strong
partisans, aud both fought gallantly
all through the great struggle
Eng on the Union side, and Chang
on the Confederate. They took
each other prisoners at Seven Oaks,
butthe proofs of capture were so ev
enly balanced in favor of each that a
general army court had to be assem
bled to determine which one was
properly the captor and which the
captive. The jury was unable to
agree for a long time; butthe vexed
question wa, finally decided by
agreeing to consider them both
prisoners and then exchanging them.
At one time Chang was convicted
of disobedience of orders, and sen
tenced . to ten days iu the guard
house, but Eng, iu spite of all argu
ments, felt obliged to share his im
prisonment, notwithstanding he him
self was entirely innocent; and so to
save the blameless brother fr. m suf
fering he had to discharge both from
custodythe just; reward of faith
fulness. Upon one occasion the brothers
fell out about something, and Chang
knocked Eng down, aud then trip
ped and fell on him, whereupon
both clinched and began to beat and
gouge . each other wunout any
mercy. ! The bye-standers interfered
and tried to separate them, but they
could not do it, and so allowed
thetu to tight it out. In the end
both were disabled, and were car
ried to the hospitable on one and the
sameshutter.
The ancient habit of going al
ways i together and its drawbacks
when they reached man's estate, and
entered upon the luxury of courting.
Both fell in love with the same girl.
Each tried t o steal clandestine in
terview with her, but at the critical
moment the other would always
turu up. Bj e aud bye Eng saw with
distraction, that Chang had won
the girl's affections; and from that
day forth, he had to bear with the
agony of being a witness to all their
dainty billing and cooing. But
in a magnanimity . that did htm in
finite credit, he succombed to his
fate, and gave countenance and en
couragement to a state of things
that bid fair to sunder his generous
heart-strings. He sat from seven
every evening until two in the morn
ing, listening to the fond foolish
ness of the two lovers, and to the
concussion of hundreds of squander
ed kisses for the privilege of shar
ing only one of which he would have
given his right hand. But he sat
pat.ently and waited, and gasped,
and yawned, and stretched, and long
ed for two o'clock to come. Aud
he took long walks with the lovirs
on moonlight evenings sometimes
traversing ten miles, notwithstand
ing he was usually suffering from
rheumatism. He is an inveterate
smoker; but he could not sinoke ou
these occasions, because the young
lady was painfully sensitive to the
smell of tobacco. Eng cordially wan
ted them married, aud done wt.h itj
but although Chang often anked. thu
momentous question, the lady could
mt "tthor suilijiont courago to au
swer'it while Eng was by. Ilowev
er on wue occasion, after having
walked some sixteen miles, and sat
tip till nearly midnight,' Eng drop
ped asleep, from sheer exhaustion,
and the question was asked and an
swered. The lovers were married.
All acquainted with the circumstan

the theme of every tongue. He had
staid by them through their long and
trdous courtship; and when, at last,
hey were- married, he lifted hii
lands above thier heads, with im
pressive unction, "Bless ye, my
children, I will never desert ye!" ami
he kept his word. Magnanimity
like this is all too rare in this cold
world.
liye-and-bye Eng fell in love with
lis sister-in-law's sister, and mar
ied her, and since that day they
h:tve lived together, night and day,
in exceeding sociability which is
touching and beautiful to behold,
tnd is a scathing rebuke of our boast
ed civilization.
The sympathy existing between
hese t wo brothers is so elose and
10 refined that the feelings, the im
jiitlses, the emotions of the one are
nstantly experienced by the other.
When one is sick, the other is sick;
when one feels pain, the other -feels
t, when one is angered the other's
temper takes fire. We have aire idy
seen with what happy-felicity t hey
both fell in love with the same girl.
Now Chang is-'-'bitterly opposed to
ill formt-Mvf" intemperance, on prin
iplejbut Eng is the reverse for
while the men's feelings and emo
tions are so closely wedded, the rea
soning faculties are unfettered; their
thoughts are free. Chang belongs
to the Good Templars, and a hard
working and enthusiastic snnporter
of temperance re'orms. Bu$ to his
Mtter distress every now and then
Eng gets drunk, and of course that
makes Chang drunk too. This un
fortunate thing has been a great sor
row to Chang, for it almost destroys
Ins usefulness in his favorite held
of effort. As sure as he is to head
a great temperance procession Eng
ranges up along side of him, prompt
to the minute, and drunk as a lord;
but no more dismally and hopeless
ly drunk than his brother who has
not tasted a drop. And so the two
begin te host and yell, and throw
mud and bricks at the Good Tem
plars; aud of course they break up
the procession. It would be mani
festly wrong to punish Chang for
what Eng does, and therefore, the
Good Templars ; accept the un
toward situation, and suffer in si
lence and sorrow. They have official
ly and deliberately examined into
the matter, and find Chang blame
less, They have taken the two
brothers and filled Chang with warm
water and sugar and Eng full of
whisky, and in twenty-five, minutes
it was not possibsj to tell which was
the drunkest. Both were as drunk
as loons and on hot whisky punch
es, by the smell of their breath. Yet
all the while Chang s moral pnnci
pies were unsullied his consciene was
clear; and so all just men were forc
ed to confess that he was not moral
ly, but only physically drunk. By
every ngnt ana every moral evi
dence the man was strictly sober;
and therefore, it caused his friends
all the more anguish to see him shake
hands with the pump, and to wind
his watch with his night key.
There is a moral in these solemn
warnings or, at least, a warning in
those solemn morals, one or the
other. No matter, it is somehow.
Let us keep it ; aud let ns profit by
it.
I could say more of an instructive
nature about these interesting be
ings, but let what I have written
suffice. '
Having forgotten to mention it
sooner, i will remark in conclusion,
the ages of the Siamese Twins are
respectively fifty one and fifty-three
years. ' '

The Story of a Hat.
We learn from newspaper slips and
private letters, of a rather ridiculous
occurrence in Norwalk, Ohio. . The
hero is a prominent ape respectable
Deacon Deacon O., we understand.
1 he other Sunday he started for
church with an old hat on his head.
it was an easy hat, and the old gen
tleman enjoyed it. It appears t hen
are pegs to hang hats on in the
Ciurches there. lie thus disposed of
uis head gear on reaching tho church
nnd took his seat with the congrega
tion. VV hen the services were over
he lingered, as is customary and
proper for Deacons to do. He finally
reached the porch, and. snapped fo'r
his hat, arjd. any respectable citizen
can imagine the hmror he experienc
ed ou beholding but one hat left, and
that a most dilapidated and scandal
ous-looking article. He could feel
his blood boil within him as he look
ed at it and thought of th.e. mutton
head who owned it and walked off
with his glossy beaver instead. He
said out loud that the owner of that
hat was a mutton In. ad, and ground
his' dcacomsh heel into the floor, and
telt much relieved by so doing, lhen
he tied a handkerchief about his
head because the old hat was much
too large for him and he could not
wear it, even if flesh and spirit had
not revolted against the spectacle.
He told the sexton that tiiat hat
must have been built in a dry dock,
and that the only thing that troubled
him in t te matter was hew a man
with a head of that size got into the
church anyway. . Then he stalked
majestically homeward, with the red
handkerchief wound about his head
and the detestable hat held at arms-
length ahead of him, and altogether
forming a spectacle that fastened
the astonished attention of every be
holder. Arriving at home he ex
tended the article towards his wife,
and wtiiting an instant for her to
take in the awful enormity of the
offence, he explosively shouted,
Look at that villainous rag!" llie
lady looked at it, aud was astonish
ed. "I don't wonder you are sick,"
he howled morosely; "it makes me
sick x think of the bullhead who
owns such 'a smoke-stack, palming it
off on me, and taking my new bea
ver for himself in mixiakel (He
ground this out with withering sar
casm.) A pretty mistake, I must say,
when bis miserable rag is big enough
to cover a cart, and filthy enough to
make a crow sick." "But that's your
everyday bat," asserted his wife, in
still greater astonishment. uMy
hat!" gasped the amazed Deacon,
staring at her with eyes half way
out of their sockets, and then laugh
ing hysterically, and shivering from
head to foot. "Certainly it is," per
sisted his wife, "and here is your
best hat," taking this article from its
accustomed place, aud holding it out
to him. Without a word the misera
ble man sank into a chair, and after
staring blankly at his wife for a mo
ment, slowly said: "The trays of
Providence are past finding out; rub
head, Matildy!"
The Holy Sepulcher.

M. A., in his "Pilgrimage Through
Palestine," thus speaks of Jerusalem:

The Holy Sepulcher. PASSING A WAY.

years has not Jong to stay. That
hoary head will soon be pillowed up
on the cold earth; that trembling
Form will sooa return to its native
dust, and the glorified spirit will rise
from the cares and strifes of thia
world of sin and sorrow, tabe forev-"'
er with its God. Oh, then, deal
gently with the aged Que, speak kind
ly to the man of many years; for, re
mem iber, that when departed, when
numbered, with the dead, every harsh
look, every unkind word, will
thrilling back upon thy memory, and
stamp its impress upon thy eouscience
in names or nviq tire. What though
peevish, word sometimes fall from
his lips? He bends not under the
load of guilt, but of years. He has
proved the world, and found it un
true. He has reveled amid the gay
scenes of frivolity and fashion; he
roamed over the flowery lawn of
' pleasure," and has drank deep of
the fountain of earthly bliss: but
never in these has he found joy with
out sorrow or happiness void of
grief. , He has seen the bright beau
ty of earth fade like the mornino
cloud, and knows that its pleasures
pass as fleetly as the rainbow that
smiles amid April showers. The
s-V iot!ip ui uis youtn have van
ished; his hopes have been blighted:
his expectations have perished the
friends of his early days have fled
he is left like the lone tree in the
midst of the field, whh h stands the
sole representative of a nation, who
onee waved their green scepters over
our broad land. Its aged form Is
rudely rocked by the wild wind, and
the breeze plays thoughtlessly among
its branches; but atiil it stands, a
monument of ancient glory. So he
too has remained, when all that
were dear have departed. The chill,
ing breezes of adversity have blown
in fury upon him, and the dark
storms of affliction burst in terror
over his head; but calm and serene
has he stood amid the raging ele
ments. , ; t . j..
But worldly care, thou-li Hsrhily borne,
Their impress leave behind;
And spirits which t heir bonds would spurn,
Tbe blighting traces find,"
And canst thou wonder that an
impatient word sometimes escapes
him ? Oh, rather pity and console
him. Soi row has leen his lot, for
it is the lot of all. None whose sit
uations are so elevated, but they
must oftimes feel that earth is not a
paradise, or life an uninterrupted
3cene of enjoyment. -
We see the traces of departed
beauty in the withered leaf of autumn ;
we hear it proclaimed that all are
"passing away," in the soft mur
mur of the bright rivnlet that wan
ders carelessly along little knowing
that the chilling grasp of winter will
soon hush its song of mirth and mel
ody; aud we feel it, when tender ties
are severed and warm hearts grow
cold. The beauties of nature will
fade; the splendid works of art will
decay; and man, "eveu he shall flee,
like a shadow shall he pass away."
A little while, ami the landscape was
dressed in verdure and clothed in
beauty. The summer bird sang its
lay of joy and sported in happiness
among the green trees; and the flow
ers, those emblems of purity' and lov
liness, opened their eyes to the morn
ing sky, and spread their young
leaves to the gentle breeze, "till fell
the frost from the clear cold heaven."
They have passed away.
Greece, with its splendid works of
art; Italy, with its poets and sculp
tors, are remembered but iu uame.
The magnificetice of the former, . her
beautiful palaces, her strong for
tresses, her great statesmen, her
mighty warriors, and the conquests
she achived over mind and man,
have fled away. Italy, once the
land of genius and the home of art,
is now the seat of deepest moral
darkness, and the land of oppression
and slavery. Ignorance reigns and
superstition triumphs, where, once
her halls ol learning stood; and in
stead of the impassioned eloquence
of her mighty orators, is heard the
low chanting of hose emisa-aries of
night, and the poor penitent bends
in feigned sorrow at that shrine of
guilt and pollution the confessional,
tier day of joy ba3 passed away.
Cicero and his mighty eloquence; De
mostheues, and the thuuder of . his
power, are no longer heard. Xerxes,
who caused nations to tremble, and
subdued kingdoms and empires to
bis sway; aud eveu Bonaparte, that
man of conquests and blood, are
comparatively forgotten.; "Passing
away" is . written upon ail things
earthly.
Ji is written on the trees.

The one who composed the above
beautiful lines, has verified the sol

those who can command respect
