The anoionts were ignorant of tho nrf.
of cutting diamond, nnd honco they
used it in its natural, granular, crystal-
ined state. Though probably known to
the artists of nindontAti nnd China nt n
very early period, it was unknown to
the Europeans during the middle ages ;
for tho four largo diamonds which or

waa did not matter to us nor to her.
Fanning had not overdrawn the rarity
1 or floe quality of her beauty. Her eyes
were dark and blue, and an full of light

they seemed most beautiful to mo when
she brought mo a oup of hot ten, or

George Fanning was of our parly;
he hnd come up to tbo mountains for

dishes in her hand. I do not believe
I he really ever would have gone baok to

George looked ghnstly — nauseated.
IIo went to tbo other hotel that night,
but said nothing. Ho was too wol 1- bred
to mnko bin moan over his dead illusions
for the benefit of the pnblio. Ono
oonld bnt wiab, maliciously, that ho
would oomo baok to seo " how many

The landlord and hfa wife had adopted
her—she took thojpnrt of tho daughter
of the house. " Dolly” was known to
the pnblio of three counties. Nobody
called hor a heroine or a mediaeval saint,
hut tho pnblio—teamsters, and traders,
and tourists—wero only so many human
beings whom tho modest, friendly girl
had fed or oared for whon they wero
hungry or tired. Each man nnd womau
fannied they alone hud discovered how
bluo nnd soft was her eye, how delicate
and gentle her voice ; their thought of
the little Moravian was always modest
and friendly.
There wan a good deal of gossip in
the inn about a young farmer whom
Dolly was going to marry, hut George
■’aiming was spared that. He went up
10 mountains the next day through the
pelting storm, " after trout,” ho said.

Farmers ordinarily run to one or two
extremes in tbo management of colts.
They either Jfltch thorn up too oarly,
too often, and too long, or they lot them
run wild altogether till they are of an
ago to “ break,” which word in this
connection has a vory bad import. It
is wrong to eauso a colt to do every
thing a horse docs, at a time when it is
imperfectly developed and haa but
feeble powers of endurance. It is
equally wrong to treat an animal in
tended for tlio service of man like a
wild animal till it ia mMnrfcd and then
suddenly sulxluo it. Htill not a few
farmers treat the colts raised on. their
farms in about the samo manner tho
people of Texas do the wild horsen of
their prairies. They pay no attention
to them till they ore at an ngo to woik,
when tboy oommenoe to " break ” them
at once.
Homo farmers have an idoa that
sticking colt should go with its dam all
tlie time, aud that tho dam should do
the work of a maro that has no colt.
Tho colt in accordingly hitched bv a
halter to tho side of tho mare, ana is
mado to go wherever she goes. Almost
every week day tho colt goes to the
store, the mill, or tho poatoffloo, and on
Sundays it goes to church. Tho colt is
taught to travel at all kinds of speed,
irom that required to go for the
the doctor to that demanded in follow
ing a hearse. It in mode to keep pace
with tho maro when she is druwiug i
load of stono up a hill and when th.
Im>vs are driving her to n party. Tho
colt is a constant attendant of the more,
and therefore goes over all tho grouuu
she does.
No young animal, from a child to ur
elephant, should bo compelled to bo oc
ita feot so much of ita time aa to keep
pace with matured animals. Tho
should always have an op|>orttinity to
stop nnd lie down when it wishes to,
which is very often. To cause it to
main on its root continually, and nt tho
samo time to keep up an actjvo speed,
in an act of cruelty that should novor
bo practiced. Bcaidcs thin the oolt b
liable to great injury by tho treatment.
Its fuel nro too tender, its linflm too
weak, to boar tlio ooutmued strain
them. The pulling at tho halter when
the colt is fastened to the side of the
dam is also very injurious. It tends to
injure tlio muscles of the neck, logs,
nnd bnck, anil in many ouhoh produce
deformities that are aster outgrown.
Another grave disadvantage of keep
ing tho oolt constantly by the side nt
the dam, is that it onuses it to bo wry
hard to wenn. If tbo oolt ia kept from
her for some hours, it will acquire vory
curly tlio habit of eating, so that
ing will oomo easy. Weaning nliould
ordinarily tnko place when tlio colt ii
live or six inontna old. Tho beat way
to accomplish it is to keep tho unbinds
nt so great a diatnnev apart that they
ahull neithor seo or lo ur each other.

What the Mormons Will Bo.
Beadle, a correspondent of tho ( ,: n-
j eiunati Odmmeroial, writes from Silt
L ike Oily : “ Umh r the Poland bill a
! man convicted of big,uny has an appeal
to the United States supremo court:
i under tho territorial statute there' is no
f a noli remedy. No doubt the final result
will bo as tue most conservative oould
i wish ; while nobody will bo verv much
| hurl, yet there will ho a steady and in-
j creasing pressure ou polygamy, which
, will chock and put it in the course of
j ultimate exliootiou. “I occasionally see
a statement in sotuo eastern paper that
tho Saints will fight before they will
abandon polygamy, which is calculated
: tu make a man smile who knows their
tricks. Thov have already surrender* d
I tho only tenable ground on whioh thev
ever stood. Two yearn ago the Mormon
people unanimously voted for a sUto
constitution forever prohibiting polyga*
j my and bigamy, and hints already
reach us that tiny are willing to do the
, same thing ngniu. And here is how
they justify such a cluuigivot bo so ; In
j ouo of tin 1 7o!ubiiooua revelations of
Joseph Smith occurs this convenient I
j clause : * Nevertheless, if your enetait s |
oomo iu upon yon that you be not able to !
perform these thiuga, then I, the Lord,
will not require them nt your hands, -
but ye shall l*o freed from the covenant .
vo have run o, aud shall not per- !
form these things ; bnt I, the Lord, !
will still request it of .your enemies,’ J
etc. Observe tiiat the ‘Lord,’ with J
that accommodating spirit lie always j

for the deed. W « u the state organiiu-.
tiou on the compr mis < tiasis was sug- j
geatiul this nu wan qboled by all the .
elders, aud the people were soon per- 1
thorn to do so—Bp
be¥«IA« y
right for them to abandon polygamy.
I have llttlo doubt that if tho proposi
tion was made to the leaders kMnotrow.
that all past ofionoes of every kina
5
oould be found to exactly suit the case,
aud let them out on that compromise.”
Lrt us Cokhh>br.—Binoe the intro
duction of distilled spirits in • the six-
tecuth century, they have been habitu-
idly prescribed as remedies. W« know
that alcohol, in all its forms, is per
niciona to health. Knowing these things
and tiiat under the system of treatment
whioh includes their use, tho mortality
among tbo sick is, and ever bos bs* n,
enormbnn, is it not wdrth while to try
tho effect of a remedy which oombines
iu their highest oxootlcnoe the qualities
of a tooio, on alterative and a regulator ;
contains no mineral bane or murderous
alkuloid or alcoholic poison ; does ita
curative office without pain and with
uniform oerlainty ? Dr. Walker’s Vin-
egar Bittern fulfills all these conditions,
aiul ia now effecting tho moat extraordi
nary cures, in cases where every
"speoifie” of the faculty Ima ignomim-
ously failed. Consider, in view of these
Lots, whether any sick person is justified
by reason and oommon sense in de
clining to tent tho virtues of this undo-
filed and irresistible remedy.
