GENTLIKIM We have Just examined, with
the very greatest satisfaction, our Safe, pur
chased of you some years ago, and which pass

GENTIAMIM: In the year 1868, I unfortunately
was in business in the Artisan Building, which
was destroyed by fire on the 10th of April. I
had then in use what I supposed was a Fire
proof Safe, but upon opening it I found every
thing was destroyed, and fire burning therein.
You will recollect, gentlemen, there were
several of your Safe's in that fire, also several in
the lire at Sixth and Commerce streets, the next
May, five weeks afterwaxds. all of which upon
being opened proved they were fire-proof in
deed, for I witnessed the opening of the most
of them, and in every case the contents were
preserved, while Safes of other waiters were
partially or entirely destroyed. lat once con
cluded to have something that I could depend
upon, and purchased one of your Safes.
The Safe I purchased of you at that time was
subjected to a white heat (which was witnessed
by several gentlemen that, reside in the neigh
borhood) at the destruction of my Marble Paper
Factory, 991 Wallace street, on the afternoon
and evening of the filth inst. After digging the
Safe from the ruins, and opening it this morn
ing, I was much pleased to find everything, con
slating of books papers, money and silverware
all right. I shall want another of your Safes as
soon as I enn got a place to continue my busi
ness in. I could not rest contented with any
other make of safes.

Ever constant, ever true,
Let the word be, No Surrender;
Boldly dare and greatly do!
This shall bring us bravely through.

And though Fortune's smiles be few,
Hope is always springing new,
Still inspiring me and you
With a magic—No Surrender!
Nail the colors to the mast,
Shouting gladly, No Surrender!
Troubles near are all but past—
Serve them as yen did the last—
No Surrender, No Surrender!
Though the skies be overcast,
And above the sleety blast
Disappointments gather fast,
Beat them off with No Surrender!
Constant and courageous still,
Mind, the word is No Surrender;
Battle, though it be uphill,
Stagger not at seeming ill,
No Surrender, No Surrender!
Hope—and thus your hope fulfil—
There's a way when there's a will.
And the way all cares to kill
Is to give them—No Surrender!

THE TWIN SISTERS.
" Well," said Ned Arlington, "for my
part I have never loved but one woman,
and she is now my better half."
" I tell you," replied a fellow stage
coacher, "you have had au easy courtship.
Now, I was compelled to love two ladies."
" Two ladies ?"
"Yes, sir, two ladies."
"But you did not love them both
alike ?"
Now, stranger, there was just the
trouble. I was thinking of this precise
difficulty when I remarked you had an
easy courtship."
" You puzzle me !" exclaimed Ned.
" Suppose you relieve our minds by a re
hearsal."
" It will afford me pleasure and you en
tertainment," rejoined the handsome and
social fellow-traveller.
Here we leaned forward, intent on hear
ing how a man was compelled to love two
ladies 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
as the Grover girls," or this : " You can
no more distinguish them than "you can
tell Sue from Hannah Grover." I say,
ladies and gentlemen, when a New Hav
ener is discussing a point of similitude,
he is suro to refer to the Grover girls."
" I had not been in the Elm City six
weeks before I heard these comparisons.
I went to this place intending to enter a
business firm. On my arrival I stopped
at the Tontine. At this hotel two gentle
men were arguing a point of law, it was
when I first heard this language. One
speaker was proving that expressions
meant but the same thing, and paralleled
the two propositions with the notorious
"Now there is one thins I have in com
mon with woman—that is curiosity. I
own it, and will confess that I was on
nettles. Never could Ibe appeased until
I had a view of these females.
"Tell me," said I to the book-keeper,
"are these Grover girls so very much
alike ?)7
" Are they ?" said he in surprise.
" Well I will tell you. Mr. Miller, if you
can distinguish them after a week's ac
quaintance, I will pay your bill at this
house for the balance of your residence."
" How can I see them ?"
" I'll tell you. Observe that bright
looking gent with the wkite hat. That is
Mr. Potter, one of our rising lawyers. He
is intimate with the sisters. Obtain an
introduction to him, and he will see you
through."
Are these ladies of good standing ?"
"Oh among our first people."
"Can Mr. Potter distinguish them ?"
"Never, sir, never; and he looks with
the eye of a detective."
" How long has ho known them ?"
" Three or four years, to my certain
knowledge. It may be longer."
" This determined me. I soon estab
lished myself with the lawyer by retaining
'him in an important case. I found him
more than willing to afford the jntroduc
tion, as he was anxious to see the fix their
identity never failed to create in a strang
er. I will not forget that first interview.
Two exquisitely beaatifill ladies of twenty
entered the room. I beheld duplicates.
Ono was the precise copy of the other.
They dressed alike, to a ribbon and a ring.
Their voices and countenances gave no
clue. Then their motions left you none
the wiser.
" Said Potter ;" "Now take a god look,
for I wish to see if you can identify them."
" Mr. Potter," said 1, "you will em
barrass the ladies."
"Not at all," said one. " IVe are used
to this," said the other. "It is the great
amusement afforded by our resemblance."
Here both spoke, but, on honor, It all
sounded like one voice.
" Ladies," said 1, "pardon me ; I know
you are not horses, but allow me to look
at your teeth ?"
I desired this, de.emiug there would be
tound some little speck, indentation or
'regularity that would ever serve as an
index. They exhibited their pearly rows ;
but after minute's investigation I was no
better informed. I examined the finger
then their hands, still I had no point
of distinction, and gave it up that Sue and
Hannah might forever exchange places
without detection on my part.
Nottvg.
" The ridiculous blunders of admirers
were frequent. Mantuamakers, shoemak
ers and trades people in general were con
tinually presenting Sue au account creat
ed by Hannah, or telling Hannah some
lingo intended only for the cars of Sue.
" The beauty of the ladies impressed
me. They were of my style. An ac
quaintance of two months demonstrated
their superiority in all respects. In brief,
I found myself in love-Lbut with which
one ?"
" When tender ideas arose, I found it
just as natural to one as to the other.
Yes, I solemnly aver I was in love—l had
the connubial article.
“I frequently took them out, yet never
knew whom I had. If my lady would
quote Sue, I thought it clear I had Hannah,
or if Hannah was mentioned, I believed I
was beauing Sue. Indeed, it was a mere
matter of faith. There was no evidence,
for often one palmed herself on me as the
other. This was a chronic dodge played
on their various admirers to suit conveni
ence and insure rest. As far as these
gallants were concerned, it was immateri
al. Although one might be called for by
name, the other would do just as well, no
one being able to detect the difference.
I often implored them to contra-dis
tinguish themselves by some article of
apparel or jewelry. But it was fruitless.
"That would spoil our fun,” they would
exclaim, as though I meditated some ter
rible infliction.
"As I have told you, I was in love. I
felt that happiness depended on the pos
session of one of these twins, But fbr
whom should I ask the parents? Honest
ly, it was no matter which one 1 had, as
affection made no choice.
"On a lovely eve in September, one
sister was from home. Now thought'l,
here is a surety that I can talk a whole
evening to one of this dual phenomenon.
As she entered thearlor, said I, "How
do you do Miss Hannah?" " You are
wrong, sir; it is Miss Sue." "Are you
humbugging?"„ ” Truly not; I tell you
sincerely. You now address Sue Grover."
I saw she looked unusually tender, and
taking advantage of her faltering voice
and tremulous manner, I declared my
love, and she returned it with all the ardor
of her true and impassionate nature. I
summoned the old folks; told our devotion;
gave prospects, and made all essential
revelations. The senior Grovers gave us
their blessings, and assured us that they
would see our course of true love " should
run smooth."
" But what if the other girl were to come
in! What a pretty mix! how would I
ever know my girl? Though I again as
sure you I would have proposed to 'Han
nah just the same. My only trouble was
in the multitude of embarrassments inci
dent to non-distinpishment. On this
ground I had a genuine trouble.
" Before Hannah returned, I invited
Sue to take a walk on the green. When
opposite the centre of the church, I spoke
of the betrothal ring, and requested her
to please let me see the ring she wore.
She took it off, and I carelessly played
with it to throw her off her guard—then
calling her attention to a party of students,
took my Congress knife and drew the file
blade through the inner part. It left a
nice mark, and by this I hoped to identify
her in the future. On our return to the
house, I secretly posted her parents. They
said that I did properly—that it was time
Sue should be recognized by her affianced!
" Ycat , think you are smart," said she,
ere I left.her.
" Why?" replied I.
Oh!" responded she, " that ring game
has been tried by a half dozen admirers.
I suspicioned what you were at, but
thanht I would see how many heads
wollitd conceive the same plan." The next
day neither she nor her sister wore a ring.
One week after they resumed them but in
neither was there a mark. It was evident
that I was to be out-generaled, and would
have to depend on the discretion of my in
tended and the goodness of their parents.
"At parties I had several trials. I
never knew whom I took home, and even,
when home, would talk a flood of love to
the. wrong girl, and receive a laugh for
my enthusiasm. '"Hang it!" said I; " the
cream of the joke is—l can't be revenged,
for I might hurt the wrong lady."
" The betrothal ring was given. Now,
thought I, there is a termination to my
discomfiture? Well, it did terminate in just
twenty-four hours. Hannah took Sue's
ring, went to a jewelry store and ordered
one precisely like it, and bearing the same
inscription. Moreover, she charged him
to see that the engraving was counterfeit
ed beyond recognition. It was done. So
was I. Now what could I do? Had Sue
been willing, I could have schemed forty
devices. But she relished the dish, and
would never co-operate. Wedding day
came. I must take a young lady ou the
word of herself or parents. " Well," said
I, mentally, "so I get one of the girls my
object will be accomplished." The cere
mony was performed before an immense
throng in the largest church in the city.
The bridal dress fortunately enabled me
to adhere to one. Congratulations being
over, my beautiful wife and I journeyed
to Niagara, and inspected several Cana
dian cities and town. "Al!" said I loving
ly to my wife, "Sue, darling, !will know
you now." " How?" said she. "By
the diamond ring," replied I. Don't
be too sure Clarence." " Ah!" laughed

My beloved told her sister the name of the
New York importer, and on our return a
small hand was proffered, on which was a

" Now, ladies and gentlemen, business
suddenly called me toNew Orleans. While
there my treasure died. I was grieved,
yet from the flirt that Hannah lived, my
agony was but temporary. I returned
two weeks after the funeral. My sister
in-law wore neither betrothal nor diamond
ring. There was nothing to be gained by
it, and they were laid aside. My friends,
I am extremely sensitive; a mere child;
yet believe me, when I tell you that the
presence of Hannah was a perfect and
speedy restorative. I could not weep.
Was she not the same as Sue in all re
spects? True, when I saw the family sad,
I was troubled; but only on account of
their grief. I had none of my own. All
that I loved was in exact duplicate, and
that moved before as me of yore. Yeas I
confess that no husband ever suffered less.
"In eighteen months I stood in the
same church, as it seemed before the same
concourse. As Hannah was given to me
in the holy state of matrimony, it ap
peared that I was enacting a farce and re
marrying my OWN . wriPE!',
