This is Christmas love story as told
by the Utica Herald:
"Nellie Gregg, aged ten years, came
into the Herald Office and wanted to know
the price of printing love story. When
asked to show the story she said it was
not written, but she could tell it. The
little one was given seat, and told her
love story very prettily as follows: Now
my name is Nellie Gregg, an want this
put in the Morning Herald, and sign my
name to it. Now, went to Ell Dorado
county, California. with my father year
ago, and showed Edward Slater q picture
of real nice girl. Now, he fell in love
with the girl and commenced writing to
her, and Thursday of last week he came
on to Utica and married her, and he
never saw her before, and now he prom
ises me a present and he hasn't given it
to me yet, and don't you think he ought
to? That's all the story, and ] told him
would put it in the Morning. Herald.
As that was the shortest and best love
story we have heard for many a day, we
told Nelke we would publish it, and have
kept our word. Nellie is bright little
girl, and evidently has been good angel
to the Californian. He has got his wife
and Nellie should have the promised pres
eat without delay"

BridIinG Ihe Tongue

Perhaps we cannot practice a better
discipline than by bridling or gaining
control over our tongues. If any one
has doubt as to the Importance of this
discipline, let him read what st. James
says about it in the third chapter Of his
Epistle. 1t is terrible description Of a
most deadly evil, and yet every word of
it is true. Nor is this all. The evil
thing set forth is widespread, all but
universal. Some are more thoughtful
than others, but none among us are suf-
fciently careful as to what we say or
when we say it. The apostle tells us;
If any man offend not in word, the
same is a perfect man, and able also to
bride the whole body" This is strong
language, but it is true. Self-control is
one of the highest attachments we can
ever reach. The man who can so con-
troll his impules, his passions, his feel.
ings, his emotions, as that they shall
never find untimely or improper express
sion in word is as Christ-like or perfect
as he can ever be in this world. Some
times the excuse is made for evil speak
ing that the person is thoughtless, that
he does not mean what he says. But is
LnOugntlessHeSS really any EXCUSE! Ooob
it not add to the offence? But however
this may be, christians ought not so to Of
fend. They are as lights and witnesses
in the world. They are the Saviour's
representatives, and as such they should
seek to be as much like Him as possible.
Never should they forget that by their
inconsistencies they inhict upon the
cause of Christ the deepest wound it
ever receives How awful the thought
that by our words and acts we may be-
come the stumbling blocks on which 9TH
ers may fall and be lost forever! God
forbid i'll To guard against this, we
shall do well to improve by trying TO
gain control over ourselves, and particu-
larlv over our tongues.

As they clash midst the darksome alleys,
The yawning cliffs between,
Whilst the Aurora Borealis

Slowly seward to their graves,

Silent watch amidst the waves;

Ger the SHOWS OF Labrador,
Whilst l hurled the pillows. roaring,
'Gsinst the rocks and trembling shore.
All the starry hosts OF heaven,
And the moon and blessed sun,
With my cloud flag, torn and riven,
blot out every one;
And the lakes and brooks and rivers
At my touch grow still and dumb,
And the forest means and shivers,
AS with terror, when L come.
From the ragged clouds I'm driving,
/ shake the snow and sleet,
Till the flowers, no longer living,

When the birds I've hushed or banished,

FATHER Ryan.

Out OF the sllences make me a song,
Beautiful. sad aud soft and low;
Let the lOneiitst music sound along
Aud wing each note with Il wall OF woe,
Dim and drtar
As hopes last tear,
Out OF the silences make me hymn,
Whose sounds are shadows son and dim.
Out Of the stiffness in your heart
A Thousand songs are sleeping there
Make me hut one thou child ofart.
The song OF hope In a last d-spair.
Dark and low,
A chant OF woe,
Out OF the stiffness. tone by tone
Soft as a snow flake, Wild as a moan.
Out ofthe darkncsses lash me p song,
Brightly dark aud darkly hrights
Let IL sweep as a lone star sweeps along
The mystical shadows Of the night,
Sing IL sweet,
Where nothing is drcar, or dark, or dim,
And earth-songs melt into Heavens hymn.

From the Greenup (Ky.J Independent.
R. G.. Hannahs and George Fanins,
special guards, arrived here from Elliott
County on Tuesday, bound for Licking
ton, whittier they were conveying Yves
ley Ooseley, lunatic. Until ten days
ago Ooseley had been sane orderly and
quiet. Yet for a number Of months love
affair had been preying upon his mind SO
vehemently that the light of reason left
him, and he is now a maniac. We
were not able to find out the grounds
for the sudden outbreak of his insanity
or its first symptoms; but on Friday
night, after having been lying out in the
woods for some time, he, with a brother
Geo. W., entered j. r. Bogg's house,
drove out the inmates, and the two then
fortified themselves in the upper part Of
the house, the stairs to which were mis-
sing when help arrived to dispel the
two; it was, therefore, rather uphill
work, until finally Wesley's hair protrud-
ed from hole in the upper floor, which
was promptly seized by the parties below,
but Geo. W., struck at the hand of the
wool gatherer with bed-pOst with such
force that this party, maddend with pain,
seized large rock and threw it at Geo.
W., whom it missed, striking Wesley so
fearfully that he remained senseless for
ten minutes. This enabled the par
ties below to master the Oosleys, when
g. w. proved to be but slightly deranged
and was turned loose, while an examln-
ing court, held at Martinburg Monday,
declared Wesley lunatic, and directed
him to be sent to the asylum. Wesley
is twenty-six years old and was quite q
lamentable spectacle, with his arms and
feet tied with ropes, his head bandaged
and his mind gOne-all for love, poor
fellow.

ounces Of peppermint essence. Ele un-

THE POLAR SEA EXPLOREHS.

Capt. Tyson expects to sail from New
London for the Arctic seas as early a.
July 20, and says he shall stay there till
he finds the North Pole. The schooner
FIoren4e is now ready for sea, and will
be manned mainly by Connecticut sail
ors. She may stop at Frobishers straits
upon her course, but her Headquarters
Will be on Cumberland island, where a
stock ofsupplies will be collected, and Il
score of Esquimaux with dogs and
sIedges will be enlisted for the expedition.
1t congress grants an appropriation for
the Howgate colony, another vessel will
sail from New York abost July l, 1878,
and join Captain Dyson about August
3 Then they will strike north.
Capt. Howgate's project of establish
ing a permanent basis of polar discovery
somewhere in the Arctic regions has the
best wishes of every ore and the encour-
agement of the government, but the sec
of the navy has declined to detail
accompany the expedition, as he doe
not find his authority for 90 doing ana
tor the same reason he regrets that he
'annot comply with the request for a
oan OF instruments to the navv for use
n the expedition.

Be anxious when you relate anything to
tell it Just as it occurred. Never varyin
the least degree. The reason why our
ears are so often saluted by false reports
is, because people in telling real things
add a little to them, and as they pass
through a dozen mouths The original
stories are turned into something entirely
different. So when you attempt to tell
anything that you have seen with your
