her and waited calmly for his answer. -
But at last he came closer to her, and
rested his hand softly on her head as he
said:
Edith, my love, can you not answer
me ?
Edith felt a strange thrill, at his touch,
sweeping over her; and she tried to
speak but the words did not come. She
could not analyze her own thoughts, for
they did not leave her the power to will
the act; but they came as if they had
always been in her heart, and had only
now found freedom from weary waiting.
Again she listened aud heard
Edith Edith how long shall | wait
for the happiness Of my life? are you
coming to me now, or will | have to wait
another ten years?"
Edith arose as one in dread and look
ed him steadily in the face then she
came little nearer until her hands SEEM
ed to fall mechanically into those Of her
lover. And thus she stood, while her
whole soul seemed to be trying to solve
an enigma; and she spoke as if to her
self:
Can it be possible that I love two
persons ?-is my soul bound up with
this new love2 Oh no, no! John come
back to me J am waiting still! | am
waiting waiting"
Suddenly pair Of dark whiskers and
a heavy wig fell to the floor; and Edith,
starting with the sudden motion, looked
up and bcheld not Mr.. Herbert but
John Weston standing before her radicnt
and happy
"Oh, John, John, is it you ?--is it
you at last 7"
Edith, my love, at last you are
mine F! have twice won you, and |
claim double share. of happiness. 1

while | worked and waited"
Dear John, all the future is ours !;
will that not be enough for happiness ?"

Hints to Writers and Speakers.

William Cullen Bryant once gave tho
following sensible advice to young man
who had offered him an article for the
E0eaing POST
My young friend, observe that you
have used several French expressions in
your letter. think if you will study
the English language that you will find
it capable Of expressing all the ideas that
you may hsvc. ! have always found it
so, and in all that have written | do
not recall an instance where was tempt
ed to use a foreign word, but that, ON
searching, found better one in my
own language.
BE simple, unaffected be honest in
your speaking and writing. Never uso
long word when short one will do as
well, Call a spade by its name, not
well-known oblong instrument of manual
labor let a home be a home and not
residence; place not locality. and so
on of the rest. When a short word will
do, you always lose by long one. You
lose in clearnoss-you lose in honest ex-
preston Of meaning and, in the estma-
ton Of all men who are capable of judg-
ing, you lose in reputation for ability.
The only true way to shine, even in
this false world, is to be modest and I'M
assuming Falsehood may be a thick
crust, but in tho course of time truth
will find place to break through. Elc-
gance OF language may not be in tho
power Of us all, but simplicity and
straightforwardncss are.
Write much as you would speak, and
as you think. If with your Inferior
speak no coarsor than usual; if with
your superior, speak no finer BE what
you say, aud within the rules Of pru-
dencc No one ever was gamer by
singularity Of words or pronunciation.
The truly wise man will so speak that no
one will observe how he speaks. A man
may show great knowledge Of chemistry
by carrying bladders Of strange gasses
TO breathe, but one will enjoy better
health and find more time for business
who lives on common air.
Sidney Smith once remarked: after
you have written an article, take your
pen and strike out aaIf the words, and
you will be surprised to sec how much
stronger il is"

ARYLAND, FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 80, 1877.

GOD KNOWS"

Oh wild and dark was the winter night,
When the emigrant ship went down,
But just outside the harbor bar,
In the sight OF the startled town.
The winds howlcd and the sea roared
And never a soul could Sleep
Save the little ones on their mothers breasts,
Too young TO watch and weep.
No boat could live in the angry surf
No rope could reach the land
There were bold, brave hearts upon the shore,
There was many q ready hand
Women who prayed, and men who strove
When prayers and work were vain
For the sun rose over the awful void
And the silence o. the main
All day the watchers paced the sands
All day they scanned the deep
All night the booming minute-guns
Echoed from steep TO steep.
"Give up thy dead o cruel sea ~
They cried athwart the space;
But only haby's fragile form
Escaped from its stern embrace
Only one little child of all
Who with the ship went down
That night When the happy babies slept
So warm in the sheltered town
Wrapped in the glow of the morning light,
1t lay on The shifting snnd,
AS fair rs "A scul ptofs marble dream,
With shell in its dimpled hand.
There were none to tell Of its race or kin,
God knoweth," the pastor said,
When the sobbug children crowded to ask
The name Of the baby dead
And 80 whea they laid ii away AT last
In the cburchyard's hushed repose
They raised IA stone at the babys head
With the carven words-"God knows"

The young and beautiful widow of

NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY. JULY 21, 1877.


Wednesday evening there arrived in
our village, viG the inland route, large
party of ladies and gentlemen on an ex-
cursion from Grand Rapids to Mackinaw.
1t was their intention to have taken sup
per at the Spencer House and to have
proceeded on their way to the Island the
same evening, but, owing to- delay,
caused by the breaking OF some of the ma
chinery Oh the Valley Queen, they did
not arrive in the village until about 10
o'clock P. NJ, and they decided to remain
over night. rhe different hotels did all
they could to accommodate the party,
but from the fact that it was under
stood they were only to stop long
enough i'll the village for supper, no
preparation had been made for keeping
item over night, and the late hour of
their arrival made it difficult to procure
tor them such accommodation as was de-
sirable. but the best was done that could
be done under the circumstances. If our
citizens had been aware that the party
were to have remained over night their
entertainment would have been such as
to have given them a different impres.
sion OF the hospitality of Cheboygan
than, we fear, they now entertain. The
Prindiville had been chartered to take
the party from here to Mackinaw, and
was ready, with her lighter, at the usual
hour of arrival of the Minnie Sutton, to
proceed with them. Thursday morning
about o'clock, she left with the party
| for the Island. 1t is very unfortunate
for the reputation of the inland route
that any accident should have occurred
t, ca Use delay in bringing through the
first large party of the season, but acci-
dents are liable to happen on all routes
and it may be a long time before any
such thing might occur again. Al

In accordance with resolution adopt
ed at previous. meeting, last Tuesday
night Village Attorney Bell presented
to the Council thetplans for building de-
signed for town hall, fire engine room,
Council chamber, &C., which plan was
adopted. According to the plan, it is to
be a building 40 by 20 feet, two stories
high, with 81 fee. psts, the lower story
to be IL feet high in the clear, and is to
be diyided into rooms for various village
uses. The upper story is to be finished
as hall, the full size ofthe building, and
iii to be IL feet high in the clear. and to
have gallery. The building is design
ed to be frame building, built on a
stone foundation and located OH the viii
lage lot OH Huron Street and is to con-
tain the present lookup which will
occupy portion of the lower story. 1t
is estimated that the building can be con-
strueted and finished complete for about
$4,000. A special meeting of Council
was held last evening to decide upon the
manner of letting the contract for the
building of the hall. A motion that it
be let by contract to the lowest respon-
sible bidder was voted down. After
considerable informal talk it was decided
to take no definite action upon the mat
ter until Il full board should be present.
We are decidedly of the opinion that the
interests Of the village would be best sub
served by the letting of the wol k by con.
tract. There would be this advantage in
this it would be known definitely just
what the building would cost when
completed, whereas, if built by
the day, the cost would be q
matter of uncertainty until the work
was finished. In regard to the plan, we
think it would present a better appear
ance if the building was greater in.height
perhaps for comfort in cold wealth Ell
it would be,better 10 have it constructed
as designed, it being claimed that
the heating of a hall OF the size contem
plated would be difficult if the ceiling
s.too high. The village is II great neet
of a hall, and we trust the Council vii
proceed to build the one proposed. w
do not think there ever will lie a tins

road.


Last Saturday evening party of fif-
teen or twenty ladies' and gentlemen pas
sed through Cheboygan on their way to
Mackinaw, coming Uid the inland route.
In the party were some of the officials of
the Jackson, Lansing & Saginaw railroad,
who were up in this section in reference
to summer travel. over the railroads. 1t
was the first time they had visited Che
boygan, and were very much surprised
to find it place of so much Importance,
and were free TO express to our citizens
the favorable opinion they had formed of
the situation, and stated that they would
use all their influence to have the Jack
son, Lansing & Saginaw railroad pushed
through to Indian river to connect with
the inland route, with which they were
very favorably Impressed. 1t is evident
that if the Jackson, Lansing & Saginaw
road desire to derive any benefit from
the immense amount Of summer travel
each season to Mackinaw and this section
the great resort for pleasure seekers
the road must be built to some point
where connection can be made with some
route whereby passengers cln reach these
points, and there is no more feasible
point for the road TO strike than the in
land navigation route. 1t is directly on
the contemplated line of the road to the
straits and will have to be constructed al
sometime, and by doing it now the road
can add largely to its traffic and reach &
terminus which will let it out of the
woods.
