"Get out you beggar," cried a econiful
young voice.
"1 aint a beggar," was the reply, a ring
of resentment in (lie tone, though the
speaker wore a patohed cap and torn trou
sers. "I'm not a beggar I brought a bun
dle from your lather's store. " IIo thrust a
small package int the hands of the servant
who uow appeareJ, and ran down the stops,
his heart thrilling, his eyes glowing.
."I'll never forget that as Ring as I live,"
lie muttered to himself; "no, I never will.
Suppose I liad been a beggar; was it arty
reason for her to speak so? And alio dre-s
ed so handsome; how pretty my dear little
Mary would look in such beautiful things!
Well, never mind, perhaps she will, some
time, and mother too. Please God, when I
jrrow a man I'll bo as rich irs Mr. Mosley,"
Alien something caught the lad's eye and
led to more cheerful thoughts. Ho trudged
luorrilys on, stopping at a store on the cor
iu?Mo buy a quarter pound of tea, a new
loaf and a little butter, and then turned in
to a narrow street where the poor lived.

"I'd like to bo in them cars,", mused the
boy,, ''and I'm goin-r to earn some extra
money and take mother and Mary out in
the country. We'll havo a beautiful time,
if we aint rich, and they can't wrar silk

most wild over a real garden. Hello! here

The tiny lit of humanity the boy was
Lit nine years old sprang up on Mie step
and whistled loudly. At that signal a can
dle was lighted, for, for ..economy's sake, the
two within always sat in darkness till little
Johnny came. Then the boy walked in
y ith the air of a miniature man had he
not supported his mother and sister a whole ;

mun, now smiling upon her bit man, went
out still to day's washing; but she had more
ttuno to herself since ho took her burdens
''See here, mother, I thought maybe
you'd like a new loaf, and there's somo tea
Miid a little butter. Only think how long it
is kinco wc had butter! Won't ittastc good?"
''Thank you, Johney," said tho widow, '
gently, "you mus'iit be extravagant, though
you knpw we must creep a good while yet,
till the doctor's bill is paid."
"Vi s, I know it, mother," said the little

"Not many buys iu your circumstances,

"I'd like to seethe boy that wouldu'f; he

"No, of course not, why should he?" i

"Why, I'dst as lief h'd given mo a

whose fingers had been itching tor a cent
fur so many long weeks.
"Oh! lie pays me for my work," retorted
yoijng importance, .' "Mother, aint it jolly
that 1 can help so? . My money will pay all
the rent, wont it?
The dim eyes of the widow sparkled with
unshed tesTs.
'U..knnw what mother. wants," whisper
el little Mary, as her mother went to u dis
tant nat of tho room. "It's some meat

(.winging his feet against the' table, and
turncu his eyes from the great slices ot
warm bread his mother had just cut she
did; by jingo; I wish I had known it, for
what I paid for them would have bought a
jolly bit of meat. Dear me, who 1 wish I'd
a thought of it!"
"Well, you didn't so, never mind," said
little-Mary, quite satisfied with the commo
tion sho had caused.
"It'll take away all my appetite for supper,"-he
said nervously.
"Oh! I do want a cent so bad!" sighed
little Mary, taking care that her mother
should not hear.
"i'ou.do well that's not much, I got
one;" so' down he thrust tho little red lin
gers into his vest.
"No yes why, what's this?"
"It's something folded nicely," said little
Mary, wondering.
"Why, yes, mother look look! come
here and read; why it's five dollars. . ;There
there," he thrust tho bit of paper ner
vously into the widow's hands "see what
it means."
The widow held tho .paper towards the
lighted candle, and read
"This money is for littlo John Mills. It
was not given to him as a reward for his
honesty, but to show the appreciation in
which he is held by his employer,
Abraham Mosley."
"Aint that jolly?" shouted, the boy, his
checks blazing red. "I say, aint it better
than jolly? Who'd have thought it when a
fellow found the money. I say, mother ,
;you shatit be faint for meat to night, or to
morrow night either. Give me the basket
l'nvoff."
"Stop, Jonny," said his mother, mildly,
"'stop a minute, niy son. We must not
ttliink of ourselves just now. We owe the
good doctor ten dollers yet: .Now suppose
Ve go without the meat and pay him five
'dollars. How Dice it will bo to think we

"Bother tako the doctor." nouted John
ny. "I thought we wow going to enjoy this

"It will be Stfch ten enjoyment to me as
yon can t imagine, said the widow, cheer

Dr. Mooro sat In his study as weary as
weary conld be. "The fire was blazing up
cheerily, and the little room was quite a
mem of a nlace with its full book -shelves.
iM pretty pictures and various knickaacks
of oomfort. Presently the bell rang.
'X do hpe that'll nobody for me," he
muttered, lifting himself a littlo in his chair
I'm thoroughly tired out. A thankless

because he ii imprudent and fools with his
health afterwards it's all charged to my
want of skill. There's Hcustou"
'There's a child wishes to see you, sir,"
said a servant, "shall 1 show him up?"
"Oh! yes, one of the lleusons, I sup-
Soe,,' muttered tho doctor. Presently
ohnny'a bright little face came in at the
door.
"Ileaso, sir, mother's sent you five dol
lar," said the small man, cheerily.
"And pi ay, who is mother," asked the
doctor, his lassitude giving way to an ap
pearnnce of interest as he gazed on the small
sparkling features, vainly striving to think
Where he had seen them before.
"Mother is Mrs. Mills, sir, on Fleet street.
Don't yu remember you doctored my fath
erwho who died," trembled little John
ny. "Oh! yes, my man, I do remember," re
plied the doctor, "the widow on Fleet street;
why, my littlo fellow, I hadn't sent in my
bill yet," he continued, jn a pleased voice.
"I know; but mother's very unhappy if
she ones anybody, mo.-t of all doctors, she
says; because they have to work hard for
their money: so as she said providence sent
the five dollars, she wanted you to have it."
The doctor sat musing a few moments,
and winking his eyes hard. This was an
unusual experience with him. Where one
paid him without solicitation, twenty tor
mented him by delay not of months, but
years; those, too, who could well alibi d to
pay.
"It's very kind of your molh'cr, my little
fellow; but I have thought of something.
The fact is, I want somo good trusty boy to
bring mo my letters and papers every morn
ing and take them to tho pqst office every
evening. What do you say to working out
your mother's bill iu that way?"
"What! and you not tuio the money,
sir?"
"Only out of yon," replied tho doctor,
laughing. "I'll give you lifty cents a week.
That will make us square in time, and you
can still continue iu the business, you know. "
"Oh! thank you, sir; it's right on my
way, for I always go for Mr. Mosely, and if
he is willing, I'm sure I'll be glad to do it
oh! thank you, sir," and vissions of hot
dishes daueed before his eyes. It was very
pleasant to see his gratitude plea.anter
still to sec the glad look in the mother's
eyes as he told his story and displayed his
savory marketing.
That night Mr. Mosley told the (to him)
wonderful story of little Johnny Mills to his
family, Fanny Mosley, his only child, a
pretty, petted, blue-eyed girl, listened quiet
ly. "I wonder if it was that mean looking
little fellow that brought the bundle home?"
she queried. "Why, papa, 1 called hiui a
beggar I'm sure he looked like one."
''Called him a beggar!" said Mr. Mosley,
astonishment in his tone and gesture; "1
thought my littlo daughter would havo treat
ed even a beggar with more courtesy than
that."..
"I didn't think such a dirty, ragged thing
need to come to the fr lit door," suid the
girl, with pouting lips.
"Let me tell you, my daughter, you may
be very glad to receive the smallest favor
from him yet. ''
"Ill never receive ""a favor from him,
cried the young girl, her eyes flashing.
"I hope you may never need to," replied
her father, "but a haughty spirit gncth he
fore a full, and I am sorry to say 1 have seen
sad indications of a very false pride iji my
little daughter. "
Fanny was silenced but not convinced.
"Be obliged to him," she taid to her
nurse, not long alter "I'd die first."
"Indeed, so 1 would dear," replied the
weak woman, "My Miss Fannio is going
to grow up a real beauty and marry the
richest man 'in the country. She's not go
ing to stoop to any such poor trash."
Meantime, things went well with Johnny.
The doctor, a wealthy man and childless,
took a fancy to him, and in less than a year
surprised the poor widow with an offer that
seemed to her to come direct fioui heaven.
It was to tho effect that he thould take
Johnny, clothe and educate him, and if he
gave evidence ot a desire to become a phy
sician, no pains or expense should be spared
in bniunng nun out and fitting him lor the
profession. Her little Johnny to bo a doc
tor! that was a step indeed, tirown stron
ger and more -hopeful, she was willing to
sacrifice a good deal that Johnny might rise.
She had now a neat little store in one of her
two small rooms. And Marv. when not at
school, aided her mother behind tho coun
ter, us well us in household duties. So tho
littlo boy was domiciled with tho doctor,
and if ever a grateful heart took advantago
of its opportunities, surely his did.
"Ten, eleven, twelve," sighed the listen
er, wearily, "and this must be done to-night.
Uh! it 1 only dared sleep a little moment
If I only dared! But no 1 should forget
everything and never wake till morning.
No, I must toil on."
I he room was a garret, and very small.
though its solitary inmato had tried her
best to give it as cheerful an appearance as
comported with circumstances. The bed
was made neat with the remnant of a once
handsome Marseilles quilt; a little pot of
pale flowers sat on the window sill; two or
three bits of earpets were spread here and
there over the floor; and in a tumbler, turn
ed so that the broken part should not show,
a few littlo grasses and mosses stood, quite
dry now, but which had been a grateful sol-'
ace to her for many days.
The girl was young, evidently not yet
eighteen, very pale and careworn, yet when
in repose her features were beautiful. Sor
row seemed to havo left a look of sadness
in the dark, deep eyes, and a grieved ex
pression about the Under lips. ' She turned
un the wick of the small kerosene lamn a
little, and with another sich resumed her
employment, which was the embroidery of
a sUirt for tho rich , Mrs. l'cyton, who was
to start on a journey in the morning; and
would send for it by daylight. The clock
struck two before the work was done and
folded ud: then with smarting Sneers and
aching eyes the girl threw herself on the bed
drew a thick shawl over her, and iu a mo
ment was heavily asleep.
Later in the morning a servant called for
the work. ' Mrs. Brown the landlady, went
up stairs, and after repeated knocking at tho
door ot her lodger, she entered. Again and
again she tried to rouse the sleeping girl,
but failed each time, the work, however,
was identified and taken home. - -'
Mrs. Miller's baby was sick below stairs.
Mrs. Miller was a very poor woman; conse
quently there was a young doctor from the
hospital sent to ministor to the illness of the
little one. He was no unskilled practitioner
howevery thi young man with the slight
figure and keen, clear eye of blue, that look
ed so kindly Upon all, poor and rich alike.
The landlady managed (o be, there on his
visit that uay. .
"If von Dleaso. sir." she said- "there i
young girl up stairs who does nothing since
this morning but mutter and sleep. If she
be going to be sick, it 8 the hospital would
be the best place tor hor, I m thinking.
The young man hurried up to the battle
attio room, and boot over the poor figure so
CADIZ, OHIO,
pn ne and senseless. He started as he stud
ied the face a little, took out his pocketbook
and wrote iu it.
"Shc'u sick, isu't she?" asked tho land
lady. "She's very ill, madanjp." replied the
young man, with unulher compassionate
glance.
"Oh dear! and I can't take care of her,
sir; it's impossible, so far up. And she owes
me two weeks' rent, and I don't see that
there's anything hero worth it."
"Don't worry about your rent," he said
almost sternly, "you shall have it if I pay
it myself. Meantime, let some one watch a
few hours with this helpless creature, who
is on the very verge of delirium. 1 will
send in a mixture m ten minutes, which you
must give her, and in an hour 1 will have
her conveyed to some place where she can be
cared lor."
The young doctor hurried down stairs and
out of the room. Springing into a car, he
was, altera ride of twenty minutes, set down
opposite u neat cottage on the outskirts of
the city. As lie entered, a lovely girl ol
seventeen rau out in the little hall to meet
him.
"Oh, Johnny!" she cried, "I'm so clad
yon came home to-day"bf all day. I want
you to help me in my translation, and to eat
the strawberries the first from the little
patch 1 planted. But what's the matter?
Vou look a lit tie worried, or vexed."
"Whole's mother, dear?" he asked, and
an expression of anxiety ruffled his feat
ures. "Up stairs, asleep but I'll wake her."
"No, no. I wanted to ask her you will
do as well if you could get a room" ready
the one I always have for somebody who
is very sick."
"Oh, Johnny! what a strange request!"
slw; said, gravely.
"My darling." he responded, gravely,
"to day I saw a young, beautiful, delicate
woman, one who has been accustomed to re
finement and ease, sick in a garret, from
overwork. The woman of the lmu.;e told
me shad toiled night after night sometimes
till the gray dawn looked in at her window
that she might find the means of subsist
ence, l'oor child! Think if it were you,
my Mary."
"And, oh! Johnny; but for you it might
have been," said the girl through her
tears-.
"But for God's good providence," was
the grave aniwer. "But, Mary, what shall
I do? I cannot bear to send her to the hos
pital, and will not unless there is no other
alternative."
"What's that you were saying about the
hospital, John?" said his mother, who had
heard his voice and came down in her
smart black gown and white ribboned cap.
He told her the whole story.
"Bring her right here, my son, and Mary
and I will do our best by her," said tho
good old lady.
And long before the birds sang their eve
ning song in the sun-flushed maples, the
poor unconscious girl lay on the snowy bed
of (he good widow, who bent over her, and
who.,o heart swelled as the plaintive voice
cried
"Oh, mother! have you come at last?"- .'
For three long weeks the stranpr battled
with fever, and oven after the skill of tho
young doctor ass-rted itself triumphantly,
there were days of lingering weakness, and it
was long before she sat up in the widow's
gnat arm-chiiir, and saw once more the
skies of brilliant blue, the fields, the (lowers
and lh trees. Mary was as glad and happy
as a child.
"Who do you supi o.'Cshe is, mother? I
think Johnny must have known her. And
how beautiful! Do you think he fell in love
with her, mother?"
"1 hoi e not, indeed," said the widow, a
pang at her heart, "Johnny is a noble young
man, and how do we know that she "would
be worthy of him? Besides, Johnny is a
scholar, and she may be ignorant mid not
fit to be his wife."
"But do you know I am beginning to
love tier very uearlyf queried iMarv.
"I am afraid we are all loviiia her too well"
was the gentle reply.
J he young girl herself marvelled in her
weakness why she was thus cared for. Who
wore these good, kind people.1 ho was
that handsome young doctor, that seemed
like such an angel to her? who rescued her
from poverty and saved her life. She be
gan now to blush at the sound of his foot
steps to tremble if liedrew near. Strange
thoughts assailed her she could not remain
thus dependent, thus in danger.
One evening,-the invalid, with tho moth
er and sister ol the young physician, sat to
gether in the pretty parlor. They needed
no light, lor the lull, silvery beams ot the
moon came in, filling all the apartment, ma
king the pale face and cweet features of the
sick girl seem utmost ungelie.
Suddenly the quick tread that was co well
known sounded down the little walk. An
other moment and ihe young doctor sat in
their midst. After a lew careless remarks,
he turned to bis patient, and asked "Did
you ever know any one by the name of Fan
ny Mosely?"
The quick crimson mounted to cheek and
forehead. She buried her face in her hands
and then looking sho said, in a low, tremu
lous voice "I will not deceive you I am
Fanny Mosely. I could not bear to work
and suffer as I did under that name, so I
called myself by another."
"And your parents?"
"My father failed and went West, there
he died. That blow killed my mother. Af
ter her death I sold everything, even to my
piano that I valued so highly. I was very
proud, wickedly proud, and God has pun
ished me."
"I have good reason to remember your
father," said the young doctor, "he was
very kind to me when I whs a poor, patch
ed, fatherless little boy. I was in his store
once.
The eirl leaned forward, breathlessly.
growing white, then suddenly sinking back
sho cried out: "Oh! I remember vou now
and with thame," she lidded, covering her
eyes again. "Father, dear father, it has all
happened as you said," she murmured, the
tears streaming from untjor her thin, white
uiigein.
It .is needless to say that' the poor orphan
was soon comforted that sho was taken in
to every heart there, including that of the
young doctor, who not long after gave her
his name as a token that he had then and
forever forgotten the taunt that she had ut
tered in the pride ot her youth and pc sition.
. "Tommy, my son, what aro you going to
do with that club?" .
"Send it to the editor of course
VBut what are you going to send it to
the editor for?"- '
"Cause he says if anybody will send him
a club, ho will send them a copy of his pa
per." .
The mother cahie pretty hear fainting,
but retained consciousness enough to ask:
"But Tommy dear, what do you suppose
he wants with a club?"
"Well, I dont know." roplicd the hopeful
urchin, "unless it's to knock down subscri
bers as dont pay for their paper."

The Siamese Twins havo been lost from'""
public view for tho last few years. It was
well known of them that they had married
two sisters and settled down near Salisbury,
m North Carolina, on a well stocked planta-i..
tion. In addition to this they have ample t,
funds invested through their agent in Newf J
Yoik city. Through a North Carolina med
ical gentleman now within our lines, we had
the other day an opportunity of minute and
full particulars iu regard to them. Fver
since the war began they have continued to'
reside on their plantation, and lived in the
same quiet and harmony as ever, until with-
ing two years. Of course ho one ever tho't ' f
of drafting them, and their negroes pros-)U
pored except that when out of temper from
any cause, it was apt to work itself off in.
striking the first one that came to hand, from
which the l3st escape was to keep out of
the way. Tho brothers probably never wo'd '
have had any difficulty, but that their
wives though sisters, turned away th:ir ,
hearts, and children wove the cause of this ''
estrangement. Up to the period that each
had live children, all prospered well enough,
but one of them had a sixth, and this
awoke envy and jealousy to such a degree
that the two sisters, not being bound to
gether like the twin brothers, would no lon
ger live under the same roof, though, we
believe still in different houses on the same
plantation. The brothers are now, it seems
about fifty years of age, but one,wc believe,
the smaller and feebler of the two, looks, it
is said, now full ten ycai a older than the oth
er. They can turn back to back or face to
face, but that is us far as tho remarkable
bond that unites them permits.
It is almost certain that should either die,
the other could not survive even lor more
than a few minutes, as there is an artery as
largo as the foe-moral artery that connects .
them. A few years since they correspond
ed with somo of the leading surgical opera
tors in London, as to'the possibility ot the
umbilicus which unites them being cut. so
that in the case of the death of the one,
the lile of the other might be saved.
At the request of the Iondon Surgeon
they visited thatcity, and many experiments
were tried to determine tho safety of such
an operation. Among other things, a liter
ature was tied firmly for a few minutes
round the connection between them, so as
to prevent the circulation of blood through
the artery. But it seemed as if each would
expire if this were longer persisted in. The
smaller of the two fainted away and lost all
consciousness, and there were symptoms
that the same effect would follow to the oth
er, but that the process could not he contin
ued long without endangering the life of
him who was first to faint. Should the
smaller and feebler die, it might be worth
while making the experiment of operating,
but too prospects of prolonging the life of
i ho other would be very " f ufll. Should,;
however, the larger nml more healthy of the
twin 'brothers die, there wouM seem abso
lutely no hope of saving the feebler of the
two. From all this it is evident that though
the connection between these two brothers
is verv remarkable and perfectly unioe, it it
yet not so absolute as has been usually sup
posed.
Democratic TrutliN Irom un I n
exported Source.
Some of the Republican papers have sug
gested that the railroads ot the country,
like the banks, should be made national,
and, with the banks, be run by the Govern
ment. This monstrous proposition, which
is quite in accordance with the policy of
"eentraliption," now favored by the Ad
ministration, is thus noticed by the New
York 1 st, a leading Republican print. Its
remarks are sound Democratic truth coming
from nn unepected source. It says:
"We might ns well go over at once to
Russian despotism. Besidor the enormous
increments of force imparted by the war to
the Federal Government, what should we
do when more than live hundred railroads,
representing a capital of twelve hundred
millions of dollars, and a working force of
half a million of men, are put under its ex
ecutive control? Our nation would become
a prodigious tadpole, with a huge unman
ageable head mid no tail, or a tail too fee
ble even to wag the head onward an inch.
"Besides, what charm is there in Govern
ment management of any sort, that people '
always rush to it as the sovereign specific
for all social ills. With New Yoik streets, ;
sewers, docks, markets, and the City Hall';
reeking in our nostrils, we of the metropolis -oug'it
to bo disabused of this illusion. Wc
ought to know that the Government officials, ;
are about the least efficient and most cor-,-rupt
of all official agents. Yot we cling to
that kind of hold. We arc like the idol-"
ators who made their owu gods, who know;;
perfectly of what dead or rotten stuff they
aro composed, who feel free to whip them,
indeed, on occasion, but who, nevertheless,
pray to them, sacrifice to them, present
them costly offerings, ascribing some magi-;
cal or divino power to them, though every!
day witnessing their utter incompetence and
imbecility." kSfJjD

not true that it whs done on tho recommen

"Why, to beware of jealousy, etc." .
"No, sir; you arowrohK."

greatly surprised.
"Tho moral of Othello," Fsid tho Presi
