As Life as Two Peas.
" There are in Boston two twin brothers, whose resemblance to each other is so strong that strangers can hardly tell them apart. They keep a grocery and provision store, and were one day bringing in bags of meal from a waggon, which was ont of sight from inside the store. Nathan had his coat on, but Eli was in his shirtsleeves. A stranger in the shop watched them coming in and going out one after the other, but only one was visible at a time, and at last he exclaimed to Eli, ' Well, you're the smartest man I ever saw ; but why do yon keep putting on and taking off your coat f These brothers and several other men were in the habit of getting up very early and going to swim in the ' Reservoir Pond,' and once Eli going, as was his wont, to Nathan's house to call I him by tapping on the pane, saw his own face reflected from the glass, and taking it for his brother, er.lled out, • Come on, they're all waiting to;- yon."
