We were sitting together on the rock, fishing for tomooil. Saturday Core is a small water­ ing place a few milep' below Belfast,on the f< wl shore of Penobscot bay.

Better for Jehiel, especially, mnce he wouldn't have been put in a false position. Then, on the other hand, my theory would have lacked the con­ firmation of an illustrative example. Do " jyfou want the story ?" r**By all means." Weil, Jacob and Jehiel grew up * Uieaithv, Rtrapping boys, like as two peas physically, but otherwise very unlike. Jehiel was all Dow--slow, slow-witted, «... tyfrftifNioly inclined, and disposed to * Aspect the ten commandments. Jake, V' jto had his mother's git-up-and-git--she Dutchman, then ns a gambler and rough in Cheyenne, and finally as a dead beat in 'Frisco. You could tell pretty well when Jake was in deviltry by watching the actions oi Jehiel. At such times Jehiel was restless, knocked tin with an uneasy impatience that wasn't habitual with him, was as mum and glum at pray­ er-meeting as the worst sinner in Satur­ day Cove, and evidently had to struggle hard to be good. It seemed as if Dr. Gookin's knife, which cut the physical twins apart, had been unable to dissever the physical twins, and that some part of Jake's soul lingered at times in Jehiel. "Whether Jehiel's piety ever influenced Jacob, I am unable to say. " The most singular thing of all was in regard to Jehiel's attentions to the young woman named Giles. She was a sober, demure, church-going person, whom Jacob had never been able to en­ dure, but who, as everybody said, would make an excellent helpmate for Jehiel. He seemed to care a good deal for her in his steady, slow way, and made a point twice a week of driving over to bring her to prayer-meeting at the Cove. But when one of his odd spells was oh him he forsook her altogether, and weeks would go by, to her great distress, with­ out his appearing at the Giles gate. As Jake went from bad to worse these pe­ riods of indifference became more fre­ quent and prolonged, and occasioned the young woman named Giles much misery and a good many tears. " One fine afternoon, in the summer of 1871, Jacob Dow, as we afterwards learned, was shot through the heart by a Mexican in a drunken row at San Diego. He sprung high into the air and fell upon his face, and when they laid him away a good Catholic priest said mass for the repose of his souL "That same afternoon, as it hap­ pened, old Dr. Gookin was to have been buried in the graveyard yonder. He had died a day or two before at an extreme age, but in the full possession of his faculties, but one of the last remarks he made was to express regret that he would be unable to follow the career of the Dow twins any further. "Itbecame Jehiel's melanoholy duty to harness up his hearse on account of old Dr. Gookin's funeral, and, as he dusted the plumes and polished the ebony panels of the vehicle, his thoughts naturally recurred to the great service which that excellent physician had ren­ dered him in early youth. Then he thought of his twin brother Jacob, and wondered where he was and how he prospered. Thea his eyes wandered over the hearse, and he felt a dull pride in its creditable appearance. c It looked so bright and shiny in the stm that he resolved, as it still wanted a couple of hours of the time appointed for the fu­ neral, to drive it over to the Giles farm and fetch his sweetheart to the village on the box with him. The young wo­ man named Giles had frequently ridden with Jehiel on the hearse, her demure features and sober apparel detracting nothing from the respectable solemnity of the equipage. " Jehiel drove up in state to the door of hi» iHitroibeii, and she, not at sll re­ luctant to enjoy the mild excitement of a funeral, mounted to the box and settled herself comfortably beside him. Then thev started for Saturday Cove, and along on the hearse, discoursing ectionately as they went. " Miss Giles affirms that it was at the frightened cook until the whole family was aroused. "I came her# and opened my office about ten years ago. At that time Jehiel had grown into a steady, tolerably industrious yottng man, prominent in the Congregational Church, and so sober and decorous that the village people had j TTHHToii him with' the driving ihe town 1 iiMHi-mv t iirn6 knew uim lie wua courting a young woman by the name of Giles, who lived about seven miles back in the country. Jehiel was a tin knocker by trade, and a more pious, respectable, reliable tin knocker you never saw. "Jake had turned out very differently. the time of Sumter he had made Saturday Cove too hot to hold him. and everybody, including his twin Jehiel, was glad when he enlisted in a Maine regiment. I never saw Jake in my life, for I came here»after he had departed, but I have a pretty good notion of what a reckless, loud-mouthed, harum-scarum reprobate he must have been. After the war he drifted into the Western country, and we heard of him occasionally, first, as a steamboat runner at St. Louis, then in jail ?.t Jefferson for swindling o, blind I had been bh mmrilpte ns it WM «nd<i<333L From the moment of Jacob's death he was a dissipated, dishonest scoundrel, the scandal of Saturday Cove, and the terror of quiet, respectable folks for miles around. After that day he oould never be persuaded to speak to or even recognize the young woman named Giles. She, to her credit, I think, still remains in spinsterhood, faithful to the memory of the lost Jehiel. His down­ ward course was rapid. He gambled, drank, quarreled, and stole; and he is now in State prison at Thomaston, serv­ ing out a sentence for an attempt to rob the NorthportBank. Miss Giles goes down every year in the hopes that he will see her, but he always refuses. He is in for ten years." "And he deserves all of it," I ventured to remark. " See here," said Dr. Richards, turn­ ing suddenly and looking me square in the face. , " Do you think of what you are saying ? Now I hold that he is as in­ nocent as you or L I believe that the souls of the twins were bound by a bond which Dr. Gookin's knife could not dis­ sect. When Jacob died, his soul, with all its depravity, returned to its twin soul in Jehiel's body. Being stronger than he Jehiel soul, it mastered and over­ whelmed it. Poor Jehiel is not respon­ sible; he is suffering the penalty a crime that was purely Jake's." My friend spoke with a good deal of earnestness and some heat, and, conclud­ ing that Jehiel's innocence was a hobby of his, I did not press the discussion. That evening, in conversation with the village clergyman, I remarked : " That was a very singular case, that of the Dow twins." "All!" said the parson, " you have heard the story. Which way did the Doctor end it ?" " Why, with Jehiel in jail, of course. What do you mean ?" " Nothing," replied the parson, with a faint smile. " Sometimes, when he feels well disposed toward humanity, he makes Jehiel's soul take possession of Jacob and transform him into a pious, respect­ able Christian. In his pessimistic moods the story runs as you heard it. So this is one of his Jacob days! He should take a little quinine."--New York Sun. 1 n •w* a Fox of Fox island--and was into jfcifoehief from the time he was tall enough to ptice burdock burs down his grand- •aaoiiier'e back.

At any rate Jehiel was ac- < «SB*tomr d to act very quietly whenever Jaco*> was up to any of his pranks. One # for instance, when Jake was off wmA»hiV, a hen-roost, Jehiel sat up in 1mA in tuft deep and crowed like a third apple tree next the stone wall of Hosea Getchell's orchard, just opposite the bars leading to Mr. Lord's private road, that a sudden and most extraordin­ ary change came over Jehiel. He jumped, she Bf»ysf high into the air and landed sprawling in the sandy road alongside the hearse, yelling so hideously that it was with difficulty that she held the frightened horses. Picking himself up and uttering a round oath (something that had never before passed the virtu­ ous lips of Jehiel) he turned his atten­ tion to the horses, kicking and beating them until they stood quiet. He next proceeded to cut and trim a willow switch at the roadside, and, pulling his decent silk hat down over one eye, and darting from the other a surly glance at the as­ tonished Miss Giles, he climbed to his seat on the hearse. 'Jehiel Dow !' said she, 'what does this mean ?' ' It means 1' he replied, giving the off horse a vicious cut with his switch, 'that I have been goin' slow these thirty year, and now I'm goin' to pat a little ginger in my gait. Gelang!' " The hearse horses jumped under the unaccustomed lash and broke into a gal­ lop. Jehiel applied the switch again and again, and the dismal vehicle was soon bumping over the road at a tremendous puce, Jehiel shouting all the time like circus-rider, and Miss Giles clinging to his side in an agony of terror. The peo­ ple in the farm-houses along the way lushed to doors and windows and gazed in amazement at the unprecedented spec­ tacle. Jehiel had a word for each--a shout of derision for one, a blast of blas­ phemy for another, and an invitation to ride for a third--but he reined in for no- body, and in a twinkling the five miles between Hosea Getchell's farm at Duck Trap and the village at Saturday Cove had been accomplished. I think I am safe in saying that never before did hearse rattle over five miles of hard road so rapidly. " ' O, Jehiel, Jehiel!' said Miss Giles, as the hearse entered the village you took crazy of a sudden ?' are r : FASHION'S YAWARIEfc. ^ IK linen collars the Byron is the most worn. SATIN and brocaded ribbons are the most fashionable. WHITE gloves of undressed kid are used for evening wear. ORGANDY muslins in plain tints, cov­ ered with bright flowers, are very pretty. DARK hair should be worn smoother than fair hair. SMALL crinoline will be in favor during the summer. R IBBONS are worn everywhere, even tied on the ears. BROCADES are rather smaller than usu­ al, and are in great demand for polon­ aises and over-dresses. . A FEW ladies of fashion, and of sense, are having their walking suits made with a single skirt, short enough ia> escape the ground, and with the Breton jacket. Both box and side plcatiiigs still retain favor, buL they are now placed upon skirts in such a way that fringes and gal­ loons may be intermixed with excellent effect.

They are made of double-silk, often having a dif­ ferent colored. fiM'ITlg, S ILK bonnets are being sought after as an intermediate between the felt and chip. There are also bonnets of satin, made over ample frames, over which the material is drawn so tightly as to be as smooth as kid. A XOVBL lace scarf-pin for a lady is of rolled gold. The back-ground is of dead gold, upon which is the first bar of the ballad "Ever of Thee," set to music. The bar and notes are of polished gold, and the effect is very pretty. TUNIC overdresses are said to be going out altogether, the long princesse taking the place of dresses cut in several pieces. The princesse is sometimes trimmed simply around the bottom and arranged to drape a little in the back under bows of ribbon; passementerie trimmings or scarfs are draped over it. A BEAUTiFtJi. shade of " grosseille " is among the fashionable shades; it mixes well with peach blossom. Old gold, a shade of yellow bordering on.bronze, is erally mixed with light pink, light ^ and shades of yellow. Maroon is a favorite shade, used with light green or soft pink; it is very effective in satin. WHITE is more used than colors for evening dresses; white satin with white chambery gauze, white silk and white crepe de cliine; next to this black has become very fashionable. A recent ball dress of black satin covered with scarfs of laee embroidered in gold-floss flowers, and another in black with the overdress sparkling with fine cut jet, were both finished by the addition of the long un­ dressed kid glove reaching almost to the elbow, and laced inside the to give it the close fit requisite.
