From Erel.ubodu's Paper.

"There are but ten precepts of the law of God, says Leighton, '' and two of them, so far as concerns the outward organ and vent of sins there forbidden, are bestowed on the tongue lone in the first table, and the other in the second) as though it were ready to fly out both against God and man, if not thus bri- dled"
 Pythagoras used to say that "a wound from the tongue is worse than wound from the sword; for the latter affects only the body, the former the spirit the soul. " It was a remark of Anacharsis' that |" "the tongue was at the same time the best part of man and his worst; that, with good government. none is more use ful, and without it, none more mischiev- ous.

 THE LATE MRS ISAAC SANFORD.
 It is due the living, that something more than brief notlce be chronicled in our columns this week, of the death of Mrs Isaac Sanford which occurred suddenly at her home in Sheffield on Thursday last, casting a gloom over the whole community, seldom felt. No one had learned of her short illness ere the shocking news came without warning and was spread from village to hilltop with breathless rapidity among the many friends with whom she was bound in the most tender ties of affection and esteem. It can be truly said without exageration that she was beloved by all that knew her during the few years ot her sojourn among us. The bright and joyous example she led ever active with all her endearing qualities in church and society the devoted wife, kind and loving friend and neighbor. With these tender recollections and precious memories we leave:-
 The burden, how heavy Oh would some relief
 Might reach to the weary, Who mourn comforts fled And grant them the healing so needed from
 grief;
 That rests sore upon them because of the;r dead.
