There I found araid the grasses,
Thai were left to bend and wave
With lb* rot's and the myrtle,
Jn»t one tiny, little grave,
There atone, and all forgotten,
’Neath the ivy’s clinging twine,
Was a little stone—thus worded—
“Darling Lethe, aged nine.''
Thus we too some dsy must slumber
’NeaUi the untrained Howerand grass*
That shall hide our graves completely
From the few who chance to pass.
For our sleep, like “Darling Lethe’*,”
Will be left to angels’ care,
When the friends who once wept o’er us
Shall no longer linger there.

The Dead Child,
Tl.o other day a New Orleans
nmu had occasi >u to gn over to
the lake. On his way back, and
when the train stopped at the bay,
he noticed a man getting into the
-ptt iy 1 ' j car in front of him with a little
baby in bin arms. After the train
bad got under way the conductor
canto and wuiii; “ Come with me;
I want to show you the saddest and
strangeat tight you ever aaw," and
he led Hie way into the next car
There sat the man he had noticed
with tho babe ; hie precious little
bundle lay quiet on tho seat in
front of hint, and aa these other
two men watebed he leaned over
and looked long ami ear neatly in
the little face, and then kissed the
.tail liuger»ti| a be held so gently
in bis band. " That baby’s dead,"
said the conductor. “ It died this
men ing at tho ba). He couldu't
bear to put it in a coffin, became
then if would buve to go without
him in the baggage car, and ao he
| is just carrying it homo to New
Orleans in hi* arms." Snicken to
the heart’s core be aat there quiet
and unheeding, waLdiing over his
dead child, kissing the fingers that
would in ver again clasp bis, look*
ing down upon the white lids that
bad closed over the bright eyes a*
tho petals of a sensitive flower
close at night lime over its delicate
heart, ami the world w.ts nothing
to him.
CHAPTER IV.
A Day of ftupvns*.
It was doubtful from the first
how the men sent to execute
"judgement” on this poor girl
would proceed, as they rode slowly
down the bill into the camp. There
was no doubt In any one’s mind
what they would do in the eud. But
bow and by wnat tortuous roads of
cruelty and delay and dismay
would they proceed? By what
cruel esn-nnd-mouse means would
they proceed to teach their lorri*
blc lesson of tbe vengeance and
the power of Dan, " a serpent by
the way,” “ an adJer in the path"?
When tbe sun shines hot and
and clear, a photograph is takon
almost instautly, which will enduro
a long, lcitg time.
And ao it is in aud with scenes
like th*s.- The blood was at fover
heat. Tbe imagination was like
11 tms. Terror of what was to Imp
the black and heavy waters of Bait
Lake, you can see whew the surf
roared in storm and tempest when
the world was young, tore tbe rocks
to splinters, fashioned cavers and
washed a pebbled strand; These
marks will remain while the tnoun*
tains remain. All around, high
up on tbe hill-top, you pick op
sea-washed pebbles, petrified sea<
fish of forgotten age, stones with
Hea-moss and soa-shells encased in
them, and endless evidence Chat
the ships of 8o)omon might have
sailed these mounteiadope, Becking
the land of Ophir.
And yet hero was a pitiful man,
in the heart of all this mystery, In
the presence of ever patient and
industrious Nature as she (red to
fashion a home for him glorious
aud beautiful, cutting bis .fellow*
man’s throat before he had yet
fairly sat down to the possession of
it all. Was there not sorrow
enough here?
Why, these Mormons had been
ridiug, racing, dashing about for
days and days to iiud a singly
victim to murder. And r.ow they
bad found their victim. She must
die. She was already in some
senso dead.
Some one had seen the band of
the giant shoot high and straight
and itcrpendicular in tbo air ns, , , „ ,
the iEnitc. rod. down fro... the J,cob * l,owev "’ relleot.ng that .0
their thetbera. Then the elder or
missionary began to talk calmly of
tbe beauties of the book of Mor*
tnon, and to read and to preach.
He beckoned all to draw near, and
nil drew near, obedient and breath*
less. With a gesture be bade tbe
pale and terrified girl sit close be
fore him in the gathering circle,
and she did so; her great sad eyes
lifting to his eyes as tbe eyes of a
bird might lift helplessly to the
fascinating eyes of the set pent that
is to destroy her.

Rabbinical Theory of Sneezing.
There is, perhaps, no individual
who does not now enjoy the luxu-
ry of a aneeze daily. We say
"now” advisedly, for from the
beginning, if we may believe those
who ought to know, it was not al
ways so. According to the learned
Rabbi, Eliezer, it was originally
intended that men should sneeze
once, and only once. When inan’i
first disobedience brought doath
into tbo world, it was ordained that
sneezing should be the means and
agent of dissolution. When a
man’s time came, he was to sneeze,
und in sneezing, yield up the ghost.
And this was tho happy aud easy
mode of exit from this world for
tiny generations. The patriarch

If any people on the face of the
eirth have an easier, mote clastic
c»le of morals ihin the Turk*,
th*j have not been discovered to
dite. Nothing is better known
the *01 Id over than that every
Turk is a thief. Homnly is a lost
art in Turkey, and the Turks are
rather glad that it is lost. The
beauty about tbe knavery of these
people is the deliesy of its fineis*.
The bounds of the law sre rarely
overstepped. From buying a pin
to buying a hors*, caveat emptor
is tbe only safe rule to be obscrv*

He will cheat a brother Turk as
readily as he will a foreigner. But
it is in tbe politicians and judges
that the perfection of corruption is
island of trees where a thousand
eatrle fed, the property of the Mor*
mon church, lay far away toward
the other side. It was but dimly
viidbU*, yet beautiful, peaceful in
its far tranquility as a picture ot
Paradise.
As tbe ayes s'rained and swept
across the gleaming sea of salt und
rested on this beautiful island, they
seemed to wa>.t to remain there.
You could not turn your head
away or withdraw your gaze.—
Tin re was a fierce fascination that
kept tbe strained eyes looking
down and out steadily toward that
dim ami distant isle of peuco and
Lered tho camp together. The
men looked at tho giant for the:
orders. He motioned them to d i
mount. They did so, and stood a
little apart, bolding their hungry
and tired horses by lomr rawhide

necks to the ground, rattled the!
steel bits in their teeth, and ato of

Yvais ago John Q. Adams lov

Her parent* forced her to marry a
man named Jackson, who took her
to Texas, where the became tbe
mother of nineteen children. A
year ago her husband died. Mean
while John Q. Adams, who bad
married early, had not been idle,
He acquired considerable local re

remain there, far away in fields of
beauty and of |>eace, to escape the
threatened scene of blood and peril
ut our feet?
Beyond tbe broad and gleaming
level * ot this sra of salt, still be
yond tbe verdant restful isle, and
rl p lit above and over tbe few scat*
tcred fie ds and fann'-hotues on the
shore, shot tho snow-topped
towers of *tbe Wabsatcli. These
magnificent mountains drew an
impassahlo wall, a crescent to the
east and north, around the iocipi
rnt Mormon oity. These mighty
towers of snow, this strsngo new
people, mad on the subject of ro
ligiou, called their “ towers of
strength.” They likened them to
the white towers that were above
tbe mighty walls of Jerusalem of
old. Everywhere, in all things
around them, they read the ful*
filment of prophecies, Bible tradi<
tiooa and Bible trutbee. Tbe des<
erts aud the wells in tho deserts,
the baltn*ofsgilesd trees* oven the
locusts that sometimes devoured
the land—in all these they read,
imagined, believed implicit/, that
they had here thousand* of mile*
away Lorn all the world, found a
new Jerusalem; that they were in
deal the children of the lost tribes
the children of Dan indeed, that
should judge tbe people of tbo
earth as they passed, and be as “ a
serpent by tbe way,” “ an adder in
the path ”
To tho east of this remnant of a
dried-up sea, and close upon the
salt-white shore of it, there gushed
from the rocky hillside a little
river of boiling water which sent
forth iu steam in the early morn*
ing in a perpetual drift of snowy
clouds. These beautiful white
clouds rose to tho moontaimtop to
the east and there rested lastly in
the son or cradled to add fh> above
the Mormon city.
Beneath these cradled clouds,
far below them, and yet far above
tbe city, and to the east and to tbe
north, tod above our own camp,
there was drawn in a precise level
tbe definite and unmistakable
shore and surf-line of a great dried-
up sea. Hundreds of feet above
Not so. Braver men neve
were known tbnn the pioneers of
tliOHo day*. But there somehow
fell a hui'iwation on till and always,
frt m tbctic swift and silent fanatics
— the fascination of tbo serpent
when it looks in a bird's eyes—
that paralyzed tbe worn aud weary .
pilgrims in these early days. Aud
you search tho cbroniclea in vain
for oue single act of successful du
fence.* Not one of a thousand
ever met with any real re'iintuiicc.
Homo believed that this now re
ligion would cover the earth. Men
who abhorred it had seen its auJttc
ity and power so suddenly and
wonderfully developed hero in
these mountains tf Mexico, that n‘»
wonder they wero appalled and
sileul before its executioners,
had its believers, too, in every
camp. No one dared oomplaiu to
his neighbor, uot even to his own
brother, or build up plans of es
cape, punishment, or revenge. A
man did not trust his own wife.
There was but one course to take—
bear all in silcucc.
Our party had already unyoked
their oxen; and the largo.eyed,
patient cattle, glad to be let loose
ouco more, were mouthing the
sweetest grass along the green
bank*of the willow-lined stream.
The weary men gradually eank
down on the grass in groups; tbe
children clung to their mothers’
skirts in silent awe. No one spoke
to the terrified girl. The larg”,
hollow-eyed leader looked at her
a moment;’ their eyre met. She
knew him then. He was her hus
band. She was an apostate wife,
and bad been so judged by Dan.
Tbe story of tbe terrible fa’e of an
apoetate wife was familiar even to
the children who looked on in
silent tertor.
Be froze her blood with a cold
etare, acd then made amotion with
hi* large left band, in which lie
•till held a hook, to the men with
the horses. They took off their
bridles from their hungry horses
and hung them over the pommels
of their 8pauUh saddles. Then
they loosened the slnches of their
saddles leisurely, and coming for*
ward they gathered about the elder.
They sat down, still holding to
^ summary a call afforded no timo
either for spiritual preparation, or
the svtllcmeut of worldly affairs*
besought tbo Lord that be might
be exempt from this law. After
long supplication and "wrostliug"
with the Almighty, hit* prayers were
heard. Hu sneezed and did uot
die.
It may be quest iotied whether
Jacob acted wisely iu thus bringing
about so important a cbmge, for if
life ended with a sneeze, what nn
amount of ptin and sullering might
be spared us, and what a simple
remedy to hand to all who think
•• life not worth living.” A plncj
of snuff would do the business.
JncoI/h contemporaries did
take litis view of things. They
regarded the change as n decided
benefit, nud all tho princes of the
universe, when they beard of it,
01 dsretl that for tbe future sneez
ing should bo accompanied with
thanksgiving for the preservation
of life nud earnest wishes for its
prolongation.”

The Duration of Sleep,
Let us briefly allude to ono of
tho moat important—namely, tbo
duration of sleep—how in somo
coses n fear hours will suffice, and
in others a longer period is needed.
Dr. Reid, the metaphysiciun, could
work for two dayff without a break
if he got one sound sleep after a
full tncal. if the stories of Lord
Brougham could bo believed, ho
could work on less sleep tbnn most
people require. Fiedcrick the
Great nnd John Hunter required
only five hours sleep; but it must
not bo supposed that because men
with exceptionally powerful nerv
ous organizations can dispense
with the normal quantity of sleep
it would be safe for everybody to
follow thoir example. The sleep
of the beait, which we have seen
to amouot to eight hours out of
the twenty-four, Is a fair indica«
tion of the quantity of sleep which
on an average ought to bs allowed
to tlw brain. As Sir Thomas
Browne, tbo learned Knight of
Norwich, hath it, "Half our days
we pass in tbe shadow of the earth,
and the brother of death extract
eth a third part of our lives.
Iu tbe year 1818 Benjamin Bras
well died and willed all his prop*
erty to Morgan county, to be in«

status of tbe funds. It hss up to
tho present time iucrcased instead

strictly complied with. In 1869
Mrs. Ann Kold died, leaving f3,«

nominal value of tbe fond to be
about $30*000, aud tbe market

Don't forget to take a drink of

Don't take long walks

walk on a stomach at all, try and
find a full one, as it is softer travel

place for a long walk any way.
Don’t start to do a day’s work

if you haven’t got a good breakfast
don’t commence work until after

Don’t eat between meals—sf you

Don’t try to keep up on coffee

Don’t inhale hot air—wbcu tho

Don’t strain your eyes rending

A tourist in China visited the
fish market at Canton, and writes:
The Chinees always sell their fish
alive, and all site* may be seen
floundering about in wroden tube
or stone basins partially filled with
clively erne! in ever-
water. Instim
ything, tbe Chinese do not stop to
kill the fish, tut gouge a pound or
two out of tbe side, smear it with
blood and tie a string around it.
All meat and fish Is carried home
from the market by means of a
string, neither cloth nor paper be*
ing used.
Good-will, like a good name, Is
got by monjractions, and lost by
Vznderbilt's Poverty of Riches.
The public journals are embell*
(•bed now and then wRh reports lit
advance of a hundred thousand
dollar ball to be given by Mr. Wil
liarn H. Vanderbilt, and a detailed
account of the gorgeous occasion is
furnished the newspapers after the
fact. Indeed, public uotice in
advance of the cost of tbs Vander
bilt balls, with details of the .price
of flowers, of the caterer’s hills, of
the dresnes to be worn, etc., are as
much a part of the Vanderbilt
balls as tho balls themselves; and
the rather intelligent public that
Mr. Vanderbilt sometimes hastily
consigns to damnation, is not in
any degree misled by the sorry
spectacle of a man who possesses
only great riches, trying to buy
social esteem—about the only com
modity that is never in the market.
The Vanderbilt balls come along
os regular as do the seasons but
the samo medley of speculators,
politicians, sboddyilcs aud rocial
stragglers como and go all the time.
It must be evident to a sensible,
practical business man liko Mr.
Vanderbilt, that no measure of
extravagant expenditure in flowers,
suppers, silks, satins and diamonds,
will mako the New York social
regard hnn as any other than Wil
liam H. Vanderbilt,’the son of his
father; with much clustering about
the family name and fortune that
it would be generously charitable
to forget, lie knows how to buy
or wreck a railroad, and how to
draw the ribbons on the fastest
hones, aud how to compel Wall
street to pay homage to his finan
cial power; but he can neither
drivo nor lead that often obstinate
and ever capricious element of hu
manity that assumes to bo the
society of the period. It will siuilo
or frown at will, and even tbo
wealth of a Vanderbilt knocks at
its doors, clad In all the trappings
of the old and new world, without
responsive welcome.
Mr Vanderbilt is the richest
private citizeu of any nation of-tbe
world, llis nuuual income reaches
half a score of milhout, aud he has
house* and lands and railways, and
horses aud paintings and statuary
and fiue raiment until they must
pall upon his taste; but what good?
Ho will die just as other men die,
and who will keep his memory
green ? Wo have yet’to hear of a
church, a school, a library or
chanty that owes its existence to
his generosity, aud tho poor aud
friendless do not lisp his name with
tho gratitudo that cheers the bene
factor. Hard by his grand palace
is tho unliuUhcd Cathedral that if
completed by tbe donation of half
his legiiituato income for a twelve*
month, would bo a perpetual mon
ument of the usefulness bis life,
aud it would stood as » faithful
seutiuel against tho mob that
sometimes turns to deriruition iu
tbo fruitless bunt for bread. There
are a thousand channels in which
tbe rapidly accumulating wealth of
Vanderbilt could bo made to pay
a much larger aud bolter interest
to its owner. It would not bs in
tdded millions to the already un
needed millions of tbe richest citi
zen of tbe world; but it would
brighten the evening of his life
with consolation and gather about
him tbe only sincerity he can find
to bleis his name while living and
embalm it in grateful memories
when dead. Mr. Vanderbilt can
well afford his hundred thousand
dollar balls to gratify tbe love of
display that usurps the better social
attainments of life, as that would
be wasting not mors than three
days' iccome; but if he would
make tbe shadows of tbs gathering
night resplendent with golden lin
ing, let him make tbe world better
and happier because of his exist*
tnce, and leave at least somo few
of tbs poor aud friendless, to keep
Ms memory green, when those who
revel in bis shoddy gifts shall have
speeded bis parting into forgetful*

impracticable ideas, having no
knowledga of the conditions ordi
nal ily requi.ito for the attainment
of success in any business or avo

prescribed couso ot study with the
abstract idea of tiniuing the mind,
hut with no definite application of
that training to the attain of act
ual business in lifo.

“ teaching the children that which
they expect lo do when they be
