A MANS TONGUE cur OUT.

The following from the Pitts6eld
Mass Sun will be read with the
greatest interest, not only by medi-
cal men, but by readers generally:
On. Thursday of last week, DIR.
Wade, the distinguished Albany sur
geon, operated in that city upon
Eihu B. Whittlessey for cancer, re-
moving his entire tongue. Mr..
Whittlessey is distant relative Of
Theodore Pomeroy, of Pitts6eld, and
has been for many years his conf
dental clerk. In the war he serv-
ed upon Gen. Briggs staff. DR..
Paddock, of Pittsfield, and twenty
other surgeons, witnessed the opera
ton. The cancer is said to have been
caused by smoking, and the opera.
tion was the only means of saving
his life. A few lines have been re
ceived on postal card from Mr.. w.
by his many friends in town., an
nouncing that he is getting along
finely, while the Monday Albany
Argus reported reasonable pros
pect Of his recovery. This paper
contains the following account of the
operation "This operation always
involves great risk of life for hemor>
rhage. To lessen the danger both
lingual arteries were ligated, which,
from their deep situation in the neck
among important blood vessels and
nerves, require thorough anatom-
ical knowledge and a steady, skillful
hand. The operation necessary for
the tying of these vessels was suffice
iently formidable, to have terminus
ted here. But this was only the
first step. The lower lip was then
divided to a point below the chio
and the flaps turned back sufficient
ly to expose the lower jaw, which
vas sawed through at the chin, and
flle,s cast about their severed edges
that the tongue, through which
ligature had been previously passed,
might be drawn forward and out of
the mouth as far as practicable, to
allow the galvsnic cautery to be ap>
piled. After the galvanic cautery
had been properly adjusted and con
nected with the battery, the tongue
was amputated entire, without the
loss of drop of blood from this or,
gan, simplifying throughout, one of
the most formidable and dangerous
operations in modern scientific sur
gerry, hemorrhage being an impor-
tant factor. Holes were then drilled
through the bones Of the chin which.
had been sawn apart, and wired to-
gether again. The other wounds
were dressed in the usual manner.
The patient, being under the inau-
ence of ether, suffered no pain, thus
ending a bold, daring operation,
splendidly performed"

GOLD MINE.

A specimen of gold quartz was
shown to us few days ago, says
the Dalton Citizen, by DIR. r. B.
Stegall of this place, from Burnt
Hickory Ridge, Pauiding county,
which, for richness in the yellow
metal, is as fine as any we ev er saw.
The Lumpkiu county mines, it is
said, yield only from So to $25 per
ton, while competent judges puts
the yield of the ore at the above
mine at from $40 to 5000 per ton.
The specimen shown us, upon which
gold could be seen all over it with
the naked eye, weighed something
less than two pounds from IA ounces
of which Mr.. Stegall obtained Z
grains of the pure metal. This
mine is about fifteen miles southwest
Of Gainesville, near Acworth, ard
is being developed by three gentle
men from the former place, viz:
Messrs. Il. and ]. P. Stegall, and
w. Fl. Chamberlain. The mine
is directly in the gold lead or vein
from Villa RIGA through Lumpkin
county into North Carolina. If the
specimen we saw is an average one,
and Mr.. $. tells us it is, then we feel
satisfied this mine is not only richer
than any that has yet been discover
ed in the State, but that it ia equal
to many of the rich gold mine dis
coveries in California. We trust
that il may prove to be rich boz
nanza to the gentlemen who are
operating it, for none are more de-
serving of a big streak of luck.

TO YOUNG MEN,

"Can't afford it; | know very
we'll my salary won't justify me in
buying so many clothes; in hiring a
livery rig every day, and such like
but you know one might just as
we'll be out of the world as out of the
fashion," said young clerk, who
is pinched in means, hardly able to
keep his head above water, but
withal, willing subject to all the ex,
actions of our "highetoned society,"
His noble independence, bis keen
sense of propriety, takes the last dol
lar that he has to fit him out for the
next party ; yes, and if his pocket
book is strapped, his cole in society
must be played--he runs on his
credit for another pair of kids. A
few years Of his false life saps his
manhood and brings him to condi>
ton of most abject slavery. Why
will young persons barter away in>
dividuality or happiness, and cater to
the whims and demands of extreme
formal society, when their circum-
stances and common sense dictate
that they should protest against such
folly F? We commend the courage,
and the manliness of a certain young
man, whom we heard say, in the
face of these things : I'll won't
knuckle to all the exactions of the
society in which Tmove when can't
afford to do it; | should really be
afraid to appear at the house of my
employer dressed as some of my
young friends are, for suspicion
would mark me down as a thief. II
society won't receive me AS | am
able to appear, III keep out of it,"
Young friend, if the money stan,
dard is the one that regulates the
social circle to which you are look
ing, place your purse and character
10 the balance, and then decide
whether that is the place for
you. Do not entertain the notion
that you can draw in advance on
your monthly wages or borrow an
occasional "ten" to pay for this "fue
suit" or that "gold>headed cane, !"
and maintain thereby a worthy
standing in any society. If you
would make the most of your time
and talents, unyoke from the bond
age of sham life; try to be yoarseH;
live within your means cultivate
an individuality that shall be the
outgrowth Of the best qualities Of
your mind and your character thus
nurtured under these conditions,
will bear the impress Of reality and
exert the most potent influence for
good.

LEARN THE VALUE OF MONEY
A silver dollar represents a days
work of the laborer. If it is given
to boy, he has no idea of what it
has cost, or what it is worth. He
would be as likely to give dollar as
a dime for a top or any other toy.
But if the boy has learned to earn
his dimes and dollars by the sweat of
his face, he knows the difference.-
Hard work is to him measure of
values that can never be rubbed out
of bis mind. Let him learn by ex-
perience that hundred weary days
labor, and it seems great sum OF
money. A thousand dollars is q
great fortune, and ten thousand is
almost inconceivable, for it is far
more than he ever expects to pos
sess. When he has earned q dollar
he thinks twice before he spends it.
He wants to invest it so as to get
the full value Of days work for it.
1t is a great wrong to society, and
to boy, to bring him up to mans
estate without this knowledge. A
fortune at twenty>one, without it, is
almost inevitably thrown away
With it, and little capital to start
on, he will make bis own fortune
better than any one can make it for
him.

A lawyer once had an important
case, and the decision depended on
the way the jury would regard the
testimony Of one lady. He lost the
case because the fair witness swore
positively to an occurrence which she
witnessed at the distance of several
rods, although there were several
persons who stood much nearer than
she that saw nothing whatever Of it.
The lawyer looked rather blue when
the jury brought in their verdict,
but he revenged himself by rising
and telling the court story of
lady he once knew who was very
near-sighted, but who always dee
clared her eyesight to be excellent.
Accordingly, one day neighbor
stuck a darning needle in the side Of
" barn, and, placing her on the OPP
posite side Of the road, asked her If
she could see it. ooh, yes" replied
the old lady, IL can see the needle
easy enough, but where's the barn ?"

ARACE FOR LIFE.

A curious and distressing case has
recently been under the consideration
of the police at Moscow. A few
months ago Russian peasant, with
his wife and four children, were
travelling in sleigh along the banks
of the Pruth, when they were pursued
by pack of wolves. The peasant
urged on the horses as much as he
could, but soon perceived the horri-
BILE fact that the wolves were fast
gaining upon them. At the moment
when the sleigh was surrounded by
the ravening beasts, the man seized
one of the children, threw it in the
midst of them, and while the wols YES
were struggling over their prey be
fastened on his horses and gained
ground. Four times the wolves
came up with the fugitives and four
times the horrible sacrifice was cons
pleted. At last the peasant and his
wife arrived at the neareast village,
leaving behind them the bones of
their four children. In the bitterness
Of her despair the mother informed
against her husband, but the Judges,
considering that if the peasant had
not resigned himself to the horrible
sacrifice, he would not only have lost
his children, but also his wife, &C.
Quilted the prisoner. = London Echo.

Lay OF TRUH LOVE.

AS young man was looking over
a barrel of eggs received at grocc-
ny on Newark avenue, Jersey City,
about month ago, he found the fol
lowing inscription upon one Of the
eggs:
'If this you see, young man,
Write just as soon as you can,
And let me hear from my favorite egg;
This great boon humbly beg.
JULIA BRTgKsoN, Westfeld, Ohio"
The youth Immediately wrote to
the address, inclosing his photograph,
and received reply and picture
from the writer of the lines. The
correspondence was continued to the
satisfaction of both persons, who are
to be married. 1t is said the young
lady is the daughter of wealthy
farmer, and wrote the lines in jest,
never expecting to hear from them.

A REMARKABLE Wool CLIP. The
wool clip of the San Francisco (Cal J
Sheep Company this year was in
many respects a remarkable one
It was probably the largest single
clip in the United States, or perhaps
in the world. The Aocks of the
company comprises39, 400 sheep, and
their yield tf wool was $4,000
pounds As amongst this number
there were a good many lambs last
fall, this was an average Of over nine
pounds to the sheep.

MArRrMoNY. Marriage is the
mother the world, and preserves
kingdoms, and fills cities, and
churches, and heaven itself. An
unmarried man, like fly in the
heart of an apple, dwells in per-
petual sweetness, but dwells alone,
and is confined aud dies in singular
ity. But marriage, like the useful
bee, builds a house, and gathers
sweetness from every flower, and La
bors and unites into societies, aud
republics, and sends out colonies,
and feeds the world with delicacies,
and exercises many virtues, and pro-
notes the interest of mankind, and
is the state of good things to which
God hath designed the constitution
of the world.

A garden is an assemblage Of fe>
male embIems, a -harem of metaphors.
There is no woman of any age, con-
dition or appearance, but has her re,
semblance among flowers. Some
blossom early, like the violet, and
like it, lose their sweetness early
others reach longer perfection,
like the gilliAower. The manners
of some women are humble and be.
seeching, like the forget-mesnot ;
while others look the world full 10
the face, like those tall flowers which
fellow the sun. One woman ID as
full of pleasantness as the thyme Of
lovely scent while another's words
are like the unpleasant odor inside
the lips Of snap-dragon.
Some females are as full of words
as the dog rose is of blossoms; while
others are like the Provence rose,
which has only two or three blossoms
at time, but those large and fra
grant. Daisies are like little girls ;
the daffodil is the peasant, and the
columbine the maiden lady OF fifty
five. Some ladies are like certain
vines, Haunting all over with bios,
SONS, which fail the possessor with
the first frost Of misfortune while
others lift their modest heads like
snow drops out of the icy ground.
The catalogue is numerous, and
observation tells whether the surface
of life be hardened and desolate, or
if there are seeds of happiness I'm
derneath.
