The object of the bill, it is said is to gain

Some very interesting stories We're told

was under discussion, as to curious mis-.
takes which had occurred because OF
the large number of gforesaid Olee, who

the champion of the bill before the as

secure its passage. He is himself OF
Scandinavian birth, and dt clares that
the stories that are told of errors in mis-
taken identity growing out of the too
numerous Olsons are not exaggerated
It is even declared that in one northern
county one Ole Olson made application
for marriage license TO wed young
lady in the vicinity. While the applica-
ton was being made out the Olson ap.
plying, who, by the way, had deposited
the fee in advance, stepped out of the

he returned he discovered that another

LOVE AND LIFE.
BY WILLIAM HAuaHTos.

There Is a 10y in living
when free from selfish thrali,
And he who gives heart service lives
The nohlest life of ali.
There is delight In loving
When we are loved again;
But uureturned, despised and spurned.
To love IS Godlike then.
And there Is peace In trusting
4 peace that Will abide,
Though psalm and song be silent long
They'll wake at morning tide.
There's comfort In believing.
Held by the Masters hand,
Tho wind aud wave should madly rave
Upon the Rock we'll stand.
There's soiace Ia submission
To feel Gods will is best
To lean upon the Holy One.
And yielding be at rest.
Oh! Faith and Love are mighty.
They come OF heavenly birth,
And they win bide though all beside
should perish from the earth.
