the men had lifted him out. But he
never spoke to them, aud they threw
their warm coats around him, oil cole
and dripping, and hsstsnsd to tn,

1t must be that the water spl asted or
on their faces as they lifted him out. OF
else, who knows: perhaps they were
tears. They laid him down In the
house, and hurricdly tried to win him
back to life; and one went for doctor,
and one, alas, went for his mother;
while others chafed his hands and feet,
and tried to think he was breathing
softly.
Thus Carl lay when his mother came :.
And the Christmas tree was waiting
ut home, and the children were coming,
and lie was not there to light the can
dies, blue, rose-coiored, and whise, all
among the green branches.
No, Carl stayed down at the farm
house, by the fire, asleep, ~ it seemed.
His lips were red, and there was faint
tinge of color in his cheeks, but his fore
head and hands were like the wax
berries in the greenhouse at home. And
when the Christmas morning came
the beautiful Christmas that Carl had
thought Of SO long-and the sun shone
as brightly as though there had never
been heart ache in the world, Carl's
mother fell on her knees.
II give him back" she said, in low,
broken tones. 20 my Father, behold my
Christmas gift to Theo-my dear little
Carl"
Now when they took Carl's garments
away from the fire where they had
hastily hung them, they found pack.
age in his coat pocket. 1t was white
box, wrapped in thick paper. Lizette
was standing by her mother when they
brought it in.
"Ah,' she cried with sudden gush
of tears, Carl said l might see it
first"
The water had not penetrated the box,
and when it was opened, 10, there was a
beautiful smiling angel, with out
stretched wings.
And that was Carl's Christmas gift to
his mother.
Dear little Carl. When they think
of him now. they seem to see another
angel with snowy wings.

twenty-five years ago. n Northern gem

were married. evidently very happily.
About IL year later a fine boy was born
to them. and seemed to be an additional
bond Of affection. At the end Of ten
years the gentleman met with reverse

mutual agreement divorce was Oh
tanned in one of the Western States,
and the gentleman went South. The
lady was fine looking, and 10 few
years married again, her husband being
well to do in the world. 1t was happy
marriage throughout, and lasted till
more than IA year ago, when the second
husband died, leaving his widow for
tune Of $4,000 At this time the 50 II
had reached the age Of twenty yeaas.
Unhappy at the separation OF his father
aud mother, he induced the return Of
his father from Costa Rica, where he
was unavailingly seeking to mend his
broken fortunes, and brought about an
interview with his willow el mother.
They talked matters over, and the re-
ult was, that on Wednesday, the SON

Big JOKE ON THE BoYs.-It has been
the practice of several of our nice young
men, unable to obtain liquor in Wheel
ing on the Sabbath, to make pilgrim
age every Sunday to West Wheeling,
where the law has placed no restrictions
and filing themselves about as full as
they could hold. Under the influence
of old Ben Zine, they cut up many and
queer pranks, disturbing the peace of
our sedate neighbors over the river
and making nuisances of themselves
generally. Yesterday two of them were
captured for disturbing the peace and
taken before Squire Kelsy, who fined
them s. and costs each. Rather expen-
sive for Sundays frelic.

BASE BALL.-The match game of ball
between the Baltic and Columbia Base
Rail- Clubs did not come off on Saturday
afternoon, as was generally anticipated
by the friends of both clubs, in conse-
ouense of the Columbus Directing to
one of the Baltic nine, they claiming
that every player is required to be a
member of club sixty days prior to
participating in match. The rules OF
the game were produced and read, clear
" showing that the Columbus were in
error. and the rule they had reference
to only binding to clubs belonging to
the National Association. They refused
to come to any terms with the Battles,
and the match proved fizzle. 1t Is
generally conceded that the Battles are
composed of superior metal, and the by
standerLw unanimously inclined to
believe that the Columbias resorted to
this controversy and thereby save them,
selves from an honorable defeat, which
surely awaited them.

TRIAL TRIP OF THENEw STATE.-We
were among the fortunate ones who on
Saturday afternoon enjoyed a trip on
the steamboat New State, just finished
BY c. H. Booth X Co, and designed for
the Pittsburgh trade. At 3 o'clock we
showed off, with full crew of boys as
roustabouts, Captain Booth on the hur-
ricane deck, George Littleton in the
pilot house aud Ed. Marks at the throt-
tle-valve. Her engines work to a charm
and without jar or noise. She is faster,
it is thought, than before sheawas sunk.
Maybe it would improve some other
slow boats to sink them and build them
over. The New State will be very
handsomely finished and furnished as a
passenger packet. She will be ready for
business, probably, by Saturday next.
We wish her and her owners every sue

RIVER NEws.-There is little of inter
est in regard to river matters hereabout
to report. The regular daily packets
are doing frst-rste business, and there
is but little for transient boats to do.
The Camelia passed up on Saturday
with about all she could carry. The
Hudson had fine trip to Cincinnati,
with her engagements below. The
popular Express is the Parkersburgh
packet to-day.
The fine steamer j. w. Garrett and
her barges, under command of Capt. j.
K. Booth, will leave tomorrow for St.
Louis. Shippers and passengers will do
well to remember this.
There was seven feet of water and
rising reported at Pittsburgh on Satur-
day. The marks here yesterday even
ing showed eight feet eight inches scant
and about stationary. They have thir.
ty-two feet of water at Cincinnati. A
rise of fifteen feet in the Little Sandy,
and about twenty feet in the Big Sandy
rivers during Wednesday night, and the
two valleys overlooked, was the report
in Cincinnati on Saturday.
The Enquirer says of the st. Mary's &C.
cident that while attempting to make
landing at the wharf she got too far
down, and before she could be straight
ened up, the current caught her and
carried her broadside under the bridge,
knocking both her chimneys down one
of the falling chimneys knocked down
one of the 'seape-pipes, and the steam
escaped into the cabin pretty freely,
causing some csmmotioR among the
passengers OF the boat. No material
damage was done to the hurricane roof
A boat with heavy tow coming down,
greatly increased the difficulties of the
pilot, if it was not the principal cause
of the mishap. Captain Sweeney had
the stumps of the St. Mary's old chin
neys put in position till a new pair is
made for her, and she left for Pittsburg
at 4P. NJ. Saturday.
The Bayard will be entirely renovated

we think he is called, who seems to be
afflicted with chronic desire to stop
in the presence of officers of the city Of
London who are absolute in their de.
mand that he shall "keep movin' on"
Except that he had hankering for
loafng around graveyardS and such alb
surd places and took it upon himself to
die lust when he should have lived, we
always liked Joe. Fighting against his
desires, he, at considerable personal in
convenience obeyed the ordinance in re-
lation to "movin' en-" The city papas
having been INSTRUCTED as they wendell

crowds on the street corners, and
made it the duty of the City Ser
geaut and his deputies to keep the peo-
pie "movin on" The Mcclure House
corner has heretofore been a favorite
resort. On Friday night Mr.. Conant
approached quite a collection of gentle
men who were gathered there, started
Them "mOvin' on" and so broke up a
pleasant party. One of the gentlemen

and with considerable roll on the "r.")
On Saturday night congregation of
the First and Second Branches, without
leave, were seen on the corner of Mar
ket and Monroe. They had met on
some committee business, and were
talking it over again just before going
home. The attention of the City Ser
geant was called to the crowd, and he,
perforce, broke in on the hilarious city
dads, and ordered them to keep
"movin' on" They were disposed to
parley at first, but seeing 81 and costs

had been printed there, they concluded
to obey the law they themselves had
made, and so went "movin' on" Law
makers should never be law-breakers.

pears that he has been in the habit OF
carrying considerable money in his

night he put his funds in his coat, and
thus saved it all, the rascals getting
only a secondhand pair of pantaloons
for their trouble.

CHILD LosT.-A little boy belonging
to Mrs. Wheeler, between seven and
eight years of age, has been missing
since Friday last. Itwas at first thought
that its father, "Yank" Wheeler, had
taken it away, but on examination be-
fore Squire Clohan, failed to throw any
light on the subject. 1t is now feared
that the child has fallen into the river
and is drowned. He had been seen on
the river bank. The river was dragged
near the Belmont Mill yesterday morn
ing, but without finding the body. A
description is given in our advertising
columns.

kerchug into the creek. He needed no
cologne when he was fished out. he
was scraped and stood up in the sun to
dry. 1t seems that he sat down on the
parapet of the bridge to rest himself
and went off into a doze. When he
woke up COED, he was on his way down
to the sweet scented stream that flows
below. John should foreswear water
in all its forms from this time forward
