For ouo of ua wae bora a twin.
And not a soul knew which.

Before our names were filed,
At we were being washed by nurse,
We got completely mixed.
And ao you soe, by fate's decree,

was never lost. When remarkably
pressed with laltprs, he would say, " 1 have so
much to do that I cannot get on without three
hours a day praying."
Sir Matbew Hale also hears testimony : ' If
I omit praying and reading God's word in the

many of us may uud hero the cause ,of many
of our failures, and consequent discontont and

Bkoas to I.auan.?A clerical friend, at a
celebrated watering piaro, met a lady who
seemed bororing on the Prink of the grave.
Her cheeks were hollow and wan, hor manner
listless, her Jteps languid, and iter brow wore
the sovere contraction so indicative both of
mental and physical suffering, so tht* sho woe
to all observers an object of sinccrvst pity.
gome years afterward ho encountered this
same lady, but so bright, and fresh, and youthful?so
full of healthful buoyancy and so joyous
in expression?that ho began to question
himself if he had not deceived himself with regard

" Is it possible," said he, " that I see before

" The very saino."

Jane.
Now, Mary had her eye-teeth cut, or In
other wordr, waa acquainted with the rules
and regulations which govern genteel society.
Jane, the younger, had never mixed in socieiy
to any extent. Her language was such as sbo
had heard among hor rustic acquaintances.
Mary was aware of this fact and therefore
cautioned her to obaerve how ahe (Mary) acted,
aud govcru herself accordingly.
Shortly after, while seated at tho dinner-table,
the waiter asked Mary what part of the fowl
sho would have. She informod him in a very
