Now, I linvo been ro situated that 1 was compelled, to love two ladles.’ ‘Two Indies, ’ retorted Ned. ‘Yes, sir, two ladles.’ ‘Rut you did not love them both alike.’ ‘Now, 8tmtiger, there was just tho trou ble. I was thinking of this precise diffl- culty when I remarked you lmd an easy courtship.’ ‘You puzzle mol’ exclaimed Ned. ‘Sun- pose you relieve our minds by n rchorsai. ’ ‘It will iifl'ord mo pleasure und your en tertainment,’ rejoined tho handsome and social fellow traveller. Here we all leaned forward, intent on hearing how a man wa» compelled to love two Indies with the same degree of fervor. ‘My friends,’ said lie, ‘if you ever visit New Haven, Connecticut, you will hear these expressions: ‘As much alike ns the Grover girls;’ or this, ‘Toucan no more distinguish them than you can toll 8uo from Jlnnnah Grover.’ Isay ladies and gentlemen, when a New Havener Is a point of smilitude, he Is sure to refer to the won derful Grover girls. ‘I had not been in tho Elm City six hours before I heard these comparisons. I went to the place intending to enter a business firm. On my arrival X stopped at the Ton tine. At this hotel two gentlemen were arguing a point of law, and It was then I llrst heard tills langunge. One speaker was proving that two expressions nearly meant the same thing, and paralleled the two propositions with tlio notorious twins. ‘Now there is one thing I linvo in com- mon with women—that is eurlosily. Iown il, and will confess that I was on nettles. Never could I be appeased until I had a view of these females. ‘Tell me,’ said I to tho bookkeeper, ‘are these Grover girls so much alike?’ ‘A re they?’ said he, in surprise. ‘Well, 1 tell you,‘Mr. Miller, if you can distin guish them alter a week’s acquaintance. I will pay your hills nt this house for tlie balance of your residence.’ ‘IIow can T see tin m?’ ‘I’ll tell you. 01)h< rvo that bright look ing gent with that white hat. That is Mr. Roller, one of our rising lawyers. Ho is intimntowith the sisters.

It may he longer.” ! This determined me. 1 soon establish- l ed myself with the lawyer by retaining | himinauimportnntcnsc/lfoumlhinnn'uv than willing to afford the introduction, as he was anxious to see the fix their identity never failed to create in a stranger. I will I not forget that first interview. Two cx- | quisitoly beautiful ladies of twenty enter; j ed the room. 1 beheld duplicates. One i was the precise copy of tho other. They dressed alike, to a ribbon and a ring.— Their voices and countenances gave no due. Theu their motions loll you none the wiser. ' Said Rotter: ‘Now take a good look, for I want to see if you can identify them.’ ‘Mr. Rotter,’ said I, ‘you will embarrass the ladies.” ‘Not at all,’said one. ‘Wu arc used to this,’ said the other. ‘It is great amuse ment afforded by our resemblance. Here both spoke, hut, on honor it all sounded like one voice. Said I, ‘ladies pardon me; I know you arc not horses, hut allow me to look at your teeth. 1 desire this, deeming there would Ixi I found some little speck, idcutatiou or ir regularity that would even serve ns an ■ index. They exhibited their pearl rows; hut, after minute investigation, 1 was no better informed. I examined the finger nails, then the lines on their hands, still I gave it ui), and Sue and Hannah might forever exchange places without detection on my part. The ridiculous blunders of admirers were frequent. Mantuamakers, Shoema kers and tradespeople in general were con tinually presenting Sue an account created by Hannah, or telling Hannah some lingo intended for the cars of Sue. The beauty of the ladies impressed me. They were of my style. An acquaintance of two months demonstrated their superi ority in all respects. I n brief l found my self in love—hut with which one? When tender ideas arose, 1 found it just as natural to one as the other. Yes, Isol- cmuly awr I was in love—I had this real ibnuubinl article. 1 frequently took them out, yet never knew whom L had. If my lady would quote Sue, 1 thought it clear I had Hannah, or if Hannah was mentioned, I believed I was heauingSiie. Indeed, it was a mere mat ter of faith. There was.no evidence, for often one palmed herself on me as the oth er. This was a chronic dodge played on their various admirers to suit convenience alid insure rest. As far as these gallants were concerned, it was immaterial. Al though one might he called for by name, tho other would do just as well, no onobc- intr able to detect tne difference. J often implored them to contradistin guish themselves by some article of ap parel or jewelry. But it wns fruitless.— ‘That would spoil our fun,’ they would exclaim, as though I meditated some ter- iblc infliction. As I have told you. I was in love. T felt that my happiness depended on the pos session of these twins. Rut for whom should I ask the parents? 11onestly, it was no matter which one I had, as affection made no choice. On a lovely eve in September, one sister was from home. Now, thought 1, here is a surety that I can talk a whole evening to one of this duel phenotnenoh. As she en tered the parlor said I: ‘How do, you Miss Hannah?’ ‘You arc wrong sir: it is Miss Sue.’ ‘Are you humbugging?’ ‘Truly not. 1 tell you sincerely you now address Sue Grovers. ‘I saw she looked unusually tender, and taking advantage of her fal tering voice and tremulous manner, I de clared my love, and was told that she re turned it with all the ardor of her true and impassioned nature. I summoned the old folks, told our devotion, gave my prospects, and made all essential revelations. The senior Grovers gaye us their blessings, and assured us that they would see our course of life ‘should run smooth.’ Rut what if the other girl wore to cornel Wlinta.pretty mixl—liow would lever know my girl? though again I assure you it would nave made no difference. I would have proposed to Hannah just the same. My only trouble was in the* multitude of embarrassments incident to non-distin- guishment. On this ground I lmd genu ine trouble. Refore Hannah returned, I invited Sue to take a walk on the green, IVhen oppo site the center of the church I spoke of the betrothal ring, requested her to please let me see the ring she wore. She took it off„ and I carelessly played with it to throw her oil’ her guard—then calling her attention to a party of students took my Congress knife and drew the file blade through the inner part. I left a nice mark, and by this I hoped to identify her in future. On our return to the house, I secretly posted her parents.

I suplcioned what you were at. but thought I would sco how many lmmls would con ceive tho samo plan.’ Tho noxt day, neither she nor her sister wore n ring.— One >veek after, they resumed them; hut In neither wns there a mark. It wns evi dent that 1 was to be outgeneraled, and would hnvo to depend on tho discretion of my intended, and tho goodness of tliclr parents. At parties I had severo trials—I novor knew whom I took homo, and even, when homo, would talk a flood of love to tho wrong girl nml receive a laugh for my en thusiasm. ‘llnngitl’ said I; ‘thocrcnm of the Joko is—I can’t bo revenged, for I might hurt tho wrong lady.’ The betrothed ring wns given. Now, thought I, there is a termination to my discomfiture. Well, it did terminate just in twenty-four hours—Ilnnnnh took Sue’s ring, wont to a jeweler and ordered one precisely like it, and hearing tho same in-, seriptlon. Moreover she charged him to see that tho engraving wns counterfeited beyond recognition. It was done, Suo was I. Now what could I do? Had Sue been M illing, I could have schemed 40 devices.

My beloved told her sister the name of the New York! importer, and on our return, a small baud was proffered, on which M’ns a fac simile of the bridal gift.

Now. ladies nml gentlemen, business suddenly called me to Neu r Orleans. .While there my treasure died. I M'ns grieved, yet from the fact that Hannah lived, my agony M'ns hut temporary. I returned two weeks a tier the funeral. My sister-in-law wore neither hetliornl or diamond ring.— There M'ns nothing to lie gained by it, and they M’cro laid aside. My friends, I am ex- trcmoly sensitive; a mere child; yet, hc- li vi* in v!i' n l t,.*!l you the presence of Hannah was a pullct and speedy restora tive. I could not weep. Was she not the same as Sue in all respects? True M'lien l saw the family sail I was troubled; hut only on account of their grief. I had none of niv om’ii. All that I loved was in an exact duplicate, as that moved before me as of yore. Yes, I confess that no loving husband over suffered less.

The editor of the Pittsburg Daily Rost claims to have been one of Grant’s very earliest political friends, hut ho does not seem to have a very high idea’of the Pres ident's gratitude in his case. He says: Early in ’07 this paper brought him out for the Presidency, in an article which was quoted up to the hour of the election, and lie lias never said thank you, nor in quired afrer our health.

For Governor of Montana lie chooses tlie notorious corruntionist. Jim Ashley. His cabinet is made up of men who gave him houses and lots and dona tions. of money.

Murder of it White Hoy by n Negro liny. A Quitman correspondent of tho Savan- nah News, snys: On last Sabbath, 18th, a little hoy, aged about ten years, and son of Mr. Alexander Humphreys, of Rrooks county, went fishing with a negro boy about fifteen years ofngc. During the day the negro killed the uliiteboy and ran off. He wns apprehended and confessed the deed. Tt»« Career of a frtiorrlllu’n Itrldc—A Itomiuico or the Late Civil War. Nearly every pleasant day pedestrians on our principal avenues pass a dnrkA*ycd brunette, of medium size, plump flguro and richly dressed. In tho early spring of 1801, Silo Kltcradgc, a lovely girl Just re turned from boarding school, lived upon her father’s plantation in one of tho rural districts of Kentucky, uncertain whether to risk her fiitc with the new “Confedera cy” or hang hack. She M’ns seventeen, and a frequent visitor at tho adjoining plantation of Mr. Mundy, an old gentle man, whoso wife and son, a young man, composed a lmppy family. One day a company of Union cavalry rode down upon tho place, plundered tho premises, carried off tho valuables, burn ed tho residence and finally slaughtered the parents, who wore defending their om’U firesides, laying waste'tho country in their track, ami leaving Mundy and Suo orplmns indeed. Young Mundy M’as at last arous ed, and while being earried oft* a prisoner no words escaped his lips but .Sue”— nrobably tho effect of a disordered brain. JUm linen oxamined, tho indcliblo name of “Mundy” Mas found, and ever after he M’as knoM’n as “Suo Mundy,” tho constant terror of Union citizens and soldiers in that section. Released on parole, he im mediately returned and interred tlie char red remains of his own parents, as well as the body of Mr. IC. Taking a solemn and fearful oath of ven geance. and accompanied by Sue, who M’as now M’ithout home or frieuds in the wide wpfld, hestarted fora neighboring camp of bushu’hackcrs or guerrillas, where he M’as received with open arms, and M’as soon promoted to the office of commandor of tin} force, while Sue, disguised, and pass- ing by the name of “ICit,” an abbrevia tion of Kiteradge, proved invaluable as a spy, a fearless rider, and of undoubted bravery. Kit, after serving nearly tu’o years as spy and general planner lor the hand, found her health failing. Disguis ed, and armed with tho highest testimo nials, she succeeded In securing a position on the staff of Gen. Cleburne, the nardcst fighting Irishman in the Rebel nrmy. This position sho held, doing hdr duty like a man, until the battle of Franklin, Nov. 80,18(14, In which Rat. Cleburne was killed. Returning to her vouthlul hero and his hand, she again revelled in the car nival of blood, and though her evil spirit M as M illing, the flesh M’as M’cak, ami Kit M*as again transferred to guard duty at Andcrsonvillc, Geo. Prisoners who have shared the hospitality of that celebrated camp Mill perhaps remember a short, stout and muscular lieutenant, with flash ing black eyes, a face smooth as a maiden’s, and cruel, as though, a fiend iticarhntc lurked M’ithln. This M’ns Sue Kiteradge, the amiable young hoarding school miss, the cheerful companion, the once wealthy heiress, the beautiful maiden and firm friend of young Mundy, u’hoso life to her M as dearer than her own. Suo Mundy and a part of his band u’ero captured, and tried hv a court martial.— Kit M as present during the whole trial, and used ncr greatest influence, but of no avail. Sue Mundy M’as convicted and hung at Louisville, Kentucky, in March, 1805. Tlie flowing hair still hung about hisFhouldors, and when his youthful corpse M’as taken down and laid away in Ids nar- roM’ bed, tlie bleeding and broken heart of Sue Kiteradge u irs buried with it; and now. a M’anderer on tlie face of the earth, home less and friendless, sho lives M’ithout hope of heaven or mercy, forsaken and dishon ored, and cast au’ny.—Detroit Post.

A Mom© Jumps Down n Judge’ll Throat While Judge Archer, of Marshall, Iml., was reniovingsome boxes from a shelf, one day this week, a mouse jumped out of one of them and into tlie mouth of the Judge and started directly down his throat. Tlu Judge, unlike John Chinaman, did not rel ish tlie taste, and, after several liau’ks succeeded, despite tho efforts of the mouse, in getting him out of his throat into his mouth, but M’as rather slow in getting hold of the “little devil,” and lie made another attempt to get down the Judge’s throat, hut M as again unsuccessful. Whether tlie mouse was trying to commit suicide, or whether lie M’untcd merely to “revive tho inner man,” M’o have no u’ay of ascertain ing, hut we arc assured that lie was sue ecssful in scaring the Judge considerably Andrew Jolm*on-A H ml leal Uroplies.y. The New York Times notices the grand popular ovation to Ex-President Johnson, wherever he goes in the State of Tennes see, and adds: “Wo have no doubt that these scenes will be repeats wherever Mr. Johnson may choose to go in the South. The fact is, the Southern pcoplo regard the ex-pres ident as their friend and defender against a ‘despotic Congress’ led by Stevens and Butler; and they consider that, though lie failed, it wns after a tremendous light for theni^ in which lie hinisylf sacrificed ev erything. Then? is no doubt that he will lie back in the Semite before the close of President Grant’s term.” Tcntt«RKCO Ten. The New York Shipping and Commer cial List says: “Samples of tho leaves of tho Young Jlyson Tea plant have been re ceived from the plantation of Capt. Camp bell, Knoxville. Tenn.

The Singing nml Love Fifth of Florida. Olio day, ns I M’as returning to Tallahas see from a hunting excursion in Florida, M’o were rowing along by the shore, about sunset, when suddenly a strange, grave and prolonged sound struck my car. At first I thought it must be a drone, or fly of extraordinary magnitude; but see ing nothing, I questioned my guide ns to M'hat it could lx*. “Oh, ma’ssa,” replied he, “dat is do fish what sings. Some call it siren, or mermaid fish, and others musi- co.” A little way on, wo heard a greater chorus of the charming voices, reminding me faintly of tho music of church organs. I Htopncd the canoe, tho better to study this strange phenomenon; M’lien, at my request, my sable oarsman threw a net in to the water, nnd soon laid at tlie bottom of the boat about a scoro of little fish, each about ten inches long, resembling the grey mullet very closely in outM'nrd form. “Dose be mermaids, massa.” said the negro, “but in de name ob lieuben, don’t cat dem.” “Why not?” mioth I. “Because dev nab de Iuh poison.” “1 .ul) poison! And pray M’hat is that?” “Yes, massa; when you cat one ob desc fish, you Mill fall so deep in lub you can hehuer get out again.” I tried to laugh my black friend oqt of his uotion, but ill vain. In spite of what lie said however, I lmd my inusicos fried that evening, aud found, as I expected, that I was none tho worse for the experi ment. The musician fish is white, with a few blue spots near tlie belly.

No one can ride or walk through the fushiouable portion of New York city, at-, tend any place of amusement, or go to an evening party, M’ithout becoming aware of the horrible fact that many M’omcn, of whom better things might oc expected, have fallen into tlie pernicious habit of ap plying to their skins tlio enamels uliicli, under various attractive names, are ad vertised and sold in all parts of the land. Not only faded faces, nut countenances so young, plump, and pretty in outline that they must, in their natural condition, be attractive, arc lacquered over with an unnatural polish of fine porcelain, which produces an effect such as ono might im agine if a china doll were afflicted with consumption. This practice Is as nernicious as it isdis- gusting—the seeds or death or parallysis being hidden in every attractive pot and jar of those mixtures, which are supposed to be not only innocent, but also to pos sess the virtues of the uiidiscovcrod foun tain of perpetual youth. Some who use them will suddenly have a severe illness : and receiving a private warning from the family physician, will cease the use of Iho cause or their disordor, nnd, recovering, go through life with an extremely bad complexion as a reminder of their folly. Others will drop suddenly, with tliclr features twisted to one side,‘and perhaps deprived of tlio use of thnir limbs. Olli ers Mill die outright, no one guessing why.
