I was head over-ears in debt, and head over-ears in love. Couldn't have the girl on account of the objec tions of her unreasonable old father, and couldn't get either credit nor mon ey. At last, stranger, I couldn't get a square meal at any restaurant, and as true as you sit there I couldn't get any tobacco. That finished me. I sat with my head between my hands thinking about it, and wondering what I should do next. When Chang-Wang, my washerman, brought my clothes home, he walked into 'my room with the garments in a flat basket, and stood in his blue frock looking at mo with his queer, oblique eyes." 'Chang-Wang washy, washy belly good, he said, holding out his hand." f'All right," I said." "Put 'em down." . , i "You pay Chang-Wang, belly good" "I turned my pockets inside out." "Chang-Wang immediately remark ed, 'No money, no shirt. Good-bye,' and departed with the clothes-basket." "I threw my slipper at him as he went out, grinning amiably over his shoulder, and I threw the other at the door to shut it. The door did, not shut. I got up to see to it, and there in the crack lay something that kept the door open. It was a pipe. Chang Wang's pipe, I knew ; he had dropped it." 1 - "Stranger, perhaps you've never hfion' wif.hnn t a smnlre in vnnr liffl. -Tf i you haven't, you can't understand my feelings;. - - :: "I knew that pipe had been between his nasty yellow lips, but I didn't yrt)Iytt bl tmmu 1 fay own. f It wasfull.T. lighted it.-ana iiay aown on my back on the bed to smoke it out, locking the door, so that if he did eome back, Chang-Wang could not enter." y : : ; 1 !

The skin of each body was- cut ; through posteriorily, and thrown back from the bond and adjacent structures, exposing the ectus muscle of each Abdominal sections were made and the question whether a severance could have been made safely in life settled in the nega tive with almost certainty. The liniDg membrane of the abdomen in each were found to enter the band and form pooches, overlapping each other at the center of the band. What was most peculiar here was the presence of two- such pouches from the body of Chang, the upper one shorter than the lower, but each lapping, one from above and the other from below, the single pooch of Eng. Holding the first joint of the fore finger between the thumb and finger of ther other hand will give an exact idea of the arrangement of these pouches. A line passing down the center of the band would sever all three of these prolongations and open the abdominal 1 cavity of cacti of thj twins. If the knife had been used in life death would therefore probably, if not necessarily, have resulted.'

One shrill warning whistle from the engine, and we moved slowly away. At the first motion of tho car, the lady in white started to her feet with one heart-piercing scream, and her bonnet falling off disclosed the most lovely features we ever contemplated. Her raven tresses fell over her should ers in graceful disorder, and clasping her hands in prayer, she turned her dark eyes to heaven. What agony was in that look! what beauty, too, what heavenly beauty, had not so much of niisery been stamped upon it ! Alas ! that one glance told a mel ancholy tale 1 - y She was changed, As "by the sickness of her soul ; her mind Had wandered from ita dwelling, and ner eyes, . ... They had not their own lustre, but Jne iook Whifih is not of the earth : she had become The queen of a fantastio realm ; her thoughts Were combinations or tusjointoa tmus -, And forms, impalpable and unperceiveci Of others' sight, familiar were to hers." Her brother, the gentleman in black, was unremitting in his efforts to soothe her spirit, i He led her back to her seat: but her hair was sun unDouna, and her beauty .unveiled. The cars rattled on, and the passengers in ffrouns resumed their conversation. Suddenly a wild melody arose; it was tho beautiful maniac's voice 7 rich, full, and inimitable. Her hands were'eross ed on her heaving bosom, and she waved her body as sho sang with touching pathos : . - ,Jb -fc fa..-i -i'l. . !
