His story shows of what stnlT a religion may hr made The Mormons number probably 300,000. They are di vided into many sects, but the prinripal are the Polygamous Brigliamitema in Utah and the nonpnlygamons Jnsephitr* scat tered in various places. The story- may be given in a few words. “The Book of Mormons” was writ ten by an old broken down Pres hy-terian clergyman named Solo mon Spaulding. Spaulding was born in Connecticut in 1761. He graduated at Dartmouth college, and settled as minister for a Con gregational chinch. He made a bad failure at preaching, anil went into business with Ids broth er in New York state, did not succeed, and started an iron foun dry in northern Ohio. He soon faded in that venture, and became very much discouraged. His wife sup|N>rted the family by tak ing in boarders, and lie S|»ent his time in writing, though what did not appear. The family moved to Pittsburg, when he re wroty his book, adding a second part, lie afterwards rewrote the entire- book, adding a third part. This is the origin of the manuscript. New what liecameof it? Spauld ing made arrangements to have it pnated in Pittsburg. After a part of it bail been set up the whole manuscript was stolen ltv a tanner named Sidney Rigdon. who was in the habit of loafing around the printing office. Rig don kept it concealed for years, until he fell in with Joseph Smith, who evolved the plan of produc ing it. Smith belonged to a not over reputable family living near Palmy ra, N. Y. They lived in a house and gup|>orted themselves by hunting and fishing, and oth er means suspected to lie more questionable. Joseph one day- found a remarkable clever cry stal, shaped much like a child's foot, and lie declared that was a “peep stone," in which he could read the future and discovered stolen goods, strayed cattle, etc,, and on several occasions was so success ful in predicting the locality- of goods and cattle that lie soon cauie to have considerable repu lation. He then extended his field of operations by divining where treasures were buried, and under his dire.-tions a great many diggings were made, unsuccess fully however. These diggings extended over a large area, some fifty miles or more, around Pal myra, and some of them may be seen now. He fell in with Sid ney Rigdon who told him of the manuscript. Smith soon devised a scheme for producing it under pro|ier surrounding*. The alleg ed book of eopper plates was found under divine gut .lance, on which characters of reformed Egyptians were graven. The book was accompanied by a pair •if spectacles of wonderful power, which enabled Smith to trans late the remarkable characters. This he did from behind a screen, while an amanuensis took down his words. The “Book of Mor mon” was printed in 1830 at Pal inyra. N. Y., a farmer, Martin Harris, putting up the cash to pay the printer. Thus Solomon Spaulding's manuscript found its way into print with such addi tions and altercations as Smith chose to make for his own bene fiL—St. Louis Spectator. Having Seme Fan. “Now. boys, 1 will tell you who we can have some fun.’’ said Charlie to hi* companions, who | had assembled one bright moon light evening for sledding, snow balling and fnn generally. “What is it?" asked several at once. “You shall,” replied Charlie. “Who's got a saw?” “I have. So have I,” replied three of the boys. “Get them; and you, Fred and Nathan, each get aa axe, and 1 will get a shovel. Let's be back in fifteen minutes. The boys separated to go on their several errands, each won dering of what use saws, axes and shovels could be in the play- But Charlie was a favorite with all. and they fully believed in his promises, and were soon back again for the fun. •Now,” said lie. “Widow Brad ley has gone to sit up all night witii a sick child. A man hauled her some wood to day, and 1 heard her tell him tliat unless site could get some one to saw it to night, she would have nothing to make a fire with in the morn ing. Now, boys, it will be jest as easy for us to saw, split and pile up her wood as to make a snow man on her door step, and the surprise of first will be better than that of the last. What say you, boys?” One or two of the boys object «.d, and could not sec the fun, but the majority wont for it with the inward satisfaction and joy that always results from well-doing. It did not take long for seven smart, healthy lmys to split and pile up that load of wood, and to shovel a good path from door step to wood pile. They felt great pleasure and salisfacliou over their fun. and then all went to a neighboring carpenter's shop, where shavings could be bad for carrying away, and each brought an armful; then they went home with light and joyful hearts. The next morning when the poor, weary widow returned from watching at the sick bed, and saw what bad been done, sue was as tonished, and tears of gralitudi- ran down her cheeks. She won dered who had done the kindly deed; anil when afterwards told, her fervent invocation “God bless the boys!” would hate rich ly repaid them could they have When winter's breeze Denudes the trees And nature settles down the freeze When round the door The wild winds roar Aral rold comes through the cracked floor, Our friends forget to shut the door.
