and told their ignorant following
that they were the chosen people
referred to here; that they were the
children of Dan; that they,
should judge the people who came
that way; that they, the Mormons,
as the children of Dan, were “the
serpent by the way,” “an adder in
the path.”
In the large reading of the text,
and a liberal view and look of it all,
it seems plausible almost, even to
us. How certain then did it seem
to these ignorant and merciless
followers of the dread order of the
Danites, established there “by the
way,” “in the path,” that they were,
as they sat in the heart of the des
ert, to be the “judges” of those who
passed by!
Back of this Bible text lay much
bitterness, induced by a sad history^
much suffering and persecution.—
The Mormons firmly believed that
the order of the Danites was neces
sary, not only for the purpose of
“judging” the earth, but for their
own preservation.
More than thirty years ago I first
encountered these people. My

One of the busy women—one of
the meddlesome and mischievous
kind found in all camps—who knew
this poor girl’s history better per
haps than she suspected, told the
secret of her marriage to one of the
new Mormon elders. It was a for
bidden marriage too—a marriage
on discovery of which her father
had become furious, and loud with
threats to all Mormons. It was
true, this busy and meddlesome
woman said, as she gadded about,
as such busy women will when idle
in camp, that the Mormon elder to
whom she was “sealed” had never
quite got possession of her; that
her father even did not know his
daughter’s pretended husband, had
never seen him in fact. But tor all
that, the girl had been married or
“sealed” to a Mormon elder; and
trouble was going to come of it.
That was why her father was tak
ing her out of the country and away
to California, hissed this garrulous
and meddlesome woman; that was
why she looked so saJ and seemed
so frightened all the time, con
tinued the gadding and garrulous
woman, mysteriously.
Now all in the world that my
father did on hearing the story of
along the tawny sand in the sun, or
crept stealthily along in our track
as the moon rose, that great, gaunt,
hollow-eyed, and silent giant push
ing, plodding on after it, was the
most weird, ghostly, and fascinat
ing sight that ever froze young
blood.
One night it was noticed that this
great, gaunt, leaning creature could
hardly reach camp. He was seen
to push his barrow with effort to
the bank of the stream a quarter of
a mile away from us, as was his
custom, then to stand a stick under
an end of it. Then A h rolled his
heavy bag of books afijjprovisions 1
out of his singular bod, and with
great effort got in and lay down.
He was evidently very ill, and my
father took me by the hand and
went to see him at once. As we
came up he reached out ltis great
bony hand, and as it fell into fath
er’s two hands, he said, “I made
my barrow-bed like a coffin, sir }
because—because I have had a gre-
vious disappointment, and fear it
may be that I have done wrong in
my day. The monks of Rome sleep
in their coffins for penance, sir. I
am doing penance. And then, you
see, it keeps idlers.away, and gives
me time to think and to read
books, Books are bread—bread for
body and soul, sir. (*>{t down, and
when I have a little strength I will
read you from the holy book of
Mormon, sir.” •

I forgot to mention that my fath
er had done a little something in
• his quiet Quaker-like way to help,
or try to help, a beautiful young
woman who had come in great dis
tress to our camp one evening,
while tented in the old Mormon
winter quarters on the banks of the
Missouri. But surely he had no
cause to fear evil for good.
The facts were simply these.
This beautiful, black-eyed little
lady was one of the ten thousand
emigrants starting out in a long,
jveary line toward the remotest
West. She was with her people—
her parents, brothers and sisters, ^
and some other relatives, if I re
barrows. Every day we passed
dead cattle, deserted wagons, car
riages, by the road-side. Every
night by some little stream we
camped amid new-made graves.
But there was one conveyance,
and one traveler, too, in all this
mass of moving, struggling, dying
humanity, that was indescribable.
This vehicle was not a carriage, not
a hand-cart, not a barrow. It was
a long, narrow, thin, black coffin
set on two wheels and pushed al
ways by a tall, gaunt, and silent
giant. And if there was anything
more terrible to us children than
the mention of the Danites, it was
the sight of that coffin on wheels,
and the great bony face and hollow
eyes of the man who, silent and
sullen, pfished it along. By and by,
and by what meins or gradual

Untie the Strings.
Haul one of the most successful
merchants of Cleveland, Ohio, to a
lad who was opening a parcel:
,‘Young man, untie the strings; do
not cut them.”
It was the first remark that he
had made to a new employe. It
was the first lesson the lad had to
learn, and it involved the princi
ples of success or failure in his bus
iness career. Pointing to a well
dressed man behind the counter he
said:
“There is a man who always
wliipsout his scissors and cuts the
strings of the packages in three or
four places. He is a good salesman
but he will never be anything
more. I presume he lives from
hand to mouth, and is more or less
in debt. The trouble with him is
that he was never taught to save.
“I told the boy just now to untie
the strings, not so much for the
value of the string as to teach him
that exery thing is to be saved and
nothing wasted. If the idea can be
firmly impressed upon the mind of
a beginner in life that nothing was
made to be wasted, you have laid
the foundation on of success.”
From the New York World.
No Dress Parades.
Our highly esteemed but erratic
contemporary of the Sun suggests
that the Democratic convention
will “nominate Mr. Tilden and
wait for his reply before proceeding
any further.”
Brother Dana has been devoting
much of his valuable time and
force to the work of impressing
upon the Democracy the impor
tance of acting with directness and
courage in the national convention.
Persistently he told us that there
must be no tampering with the
tariff question, and “no dodging.”
Imagine Samuel J. Tilden, the
great, serious statesman, waiting
for the nomination of the Demo
cratic convention as a surprise, and
to decline it as an unexpected
honor!Imagine a great Democrat
ic convention running its nomina
tions ofi the “block” system of the
Pennsylvania Central trains, and
not starting No. 2 until a telegram
had brought the information that
No. 1 was out of the way!
Mr. Tilden has once been elected
President, and the opportunity to
elect him again. Nothing but his
infirm health and his own wishes
prevent it. The able Democratic,
statesman and earnest practical
reformer does not need the show of
a nomination lie could command if
he were in a position to accept.
The Democracy is now putting
on its armor for real battle. It is
not in a humor for sham fights or
dress parades!
From the Youth's Companion.
Members of Parliament.
The members of the. English
House of Commons receive no
payment for their public services.
On the other hand, many of them
spend large sums of money in or
der to be chosen. In past times,
so large a sum as two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars has been paid
by a candidate to secure his elec
tion to the House ; but now that
the law severely punishes bribery,
such enormous sums are rarely
spent.
The result of their being no sal
ary attached to the office of mem
ber of Parliment is, that the House
of Commons is almost entirely com
posed of wealthy men. Very many
members are the sons of peers.—
There are numerous baronets and
great landed* proprietors in the
House; and on its benches you may
also find a large number of rich
manufacturers, and bankers.
The members of the Biritish Cab
inet must always sit either in the
House of Commons or the House of
Lords. If, when a man is appoin
ted to a Cabinet office he is sitting
in the House of Commons, he
thereby vacates his seat. A new
election is held in the borough or
county he has been representing,
in which election he is a candidate;
and if he is again chosen, he en
ters the Cabinet.
The reason of this rule is, that
when his constituents first elected
him, they chose him to serve them,
not to serve the Crown. Therefore
he again submits to the test of elec
tion that his constituents may ap
prove or disapprove of their mem
ber sitting in the Cabinet.
It is a theory of the English Con-
titution, that no member of the
House of Commons can resign his
seat, unless he has accepted office
But a way by which a member can
retire has been ingeniously devised.
A fictitious fcffiee, called the
“Stewardship of the Chiltern Hun
dreds,” was created; and now when
a member wishes to leave the
House, he applies for and is appoin
ted to this office, and so becomes
incapable of sitting as member.
In the House of Commons the
members sit according to their par
ly relations. Long rows of benches
run on either side of 4he great ta
ble which stands in "the centre of
the apartment. The members be
longing to the party in power sit
on the benches at the Speaker’s
rigid, and the opposition on those
at his left.
On the front lieacli on the right,
sit the members of the Ministry,
the Prime Minister being usually
in the center. The opposition
leaders sit facing the Ministers,
on the corresponding bench oppo
site.
■The members of the Commons,
from ancient times, have always
been used to wearing their hats
during the session of the House;
and this is still the general custom.
When a member arises to speak, he
Fakes off his hat and holds it in his
hand. As soon as he lias finished,
he claps it on his head again and
sits down.
The method of voting in the
House of Commoes is one that
seems' peculiar to us. Y\ hen a
vote is taken, it is called a “division’
of the House. Then a scene of bus
tle and confusion takes place.
The members huddled out into
two oppositite lobbies, passing
between two “tellers.” These
tellers are chosen from among the
partisans and the opponents of the
measure which is being voted upon,
two on each side.
When the “division” is ended,
the tellers advance to the table in
front of the Speaker; aud one of
them holds a paper in his hand,
from which he reads the result.—
This is always done by one of the
tellers of the side which has got
the majority; so that when he ad
vances, the' House always knows
whether the vote is in the affirma
tive or negative.
What is Love.
One hundred letters were writ
ten to as many well known think
ers, requesting answers to the ques
tion: “What is love ?” The result
of the inquiry indicate a confusing
variety of opinions as to what love
is. The following are answers
from sixteen different persons:
The most interesting and pardon
able of human weaknesses.
A mere delusion that has ruined
many men.
A feeling of such exquisite ten
derness that it is too sweet for
comparison.
I don’t know anything about it;
don’t think it amounts to much.
The sweetest and most passion
ate excitement known to men-bind-
ing together by the strongest cords
of sex, kindred and nations.
Don’t know anything about it; I
never was there.
It is something that no man can
find out; yet we feel its power
more or less.
A sweet and delusive imagina
tion only.
A dormant passion of the mind,
aroused by beauty and intellectual
qualities of some one woman.
An undefinahle principle which
all beings possess, and which lies at
the foundation of all happiness.
A noble passion which envelopes
our whole being and shows itself
in every thought, word and action.
True bliss—void of fancy—happi
est of happiness.
An egotism of two.
A feeling that takes root in the
heart, and is only made perfect
when it enters the soul.
A latent faculty of the mind that
when aroused glows with a radi
ance that illuminates the gloomiest
mind and wields a power of influ
ence that is unequaled.
On of the worst diseases of the
heart.

There is only one thing that will

Man Always the Same Animal.
The most splendid specimen of
the Caucasian race that the civiliz
ed world can show to-day has no
more organs, bones, muscles, arte
ries, veins or nerves than those
which are found in the lowest sav
age. He makes a different use of
them, and that use has changed
their development,- and to some ex
tent has modified stature, physical,
intellectual and moral, and many
other attributes, as climate and
habits of life have modified com
plexion, the disease to which the
human frame is liable, and many
other peculiarities. But if we take
historic man, wo find that in all the
physical features of his animal con
struction that constitue him a spe
cies, he has been esentially the
same animal in all states of civili
zation or barbarism. And unless
we boldly assume that the prehis
toric man was animal born with a
coat of hair all over his body, and
that clothing was resorted to as the
hair in successive generations dis
appeared,^!^ can have no very
strong reason for believing that the
human body has been at any time
an essentially different structure
from what it is now. Even in re
gard to longevity or i>ower of con
tinued life, if we set aside the ex
ceptional cases of what is related
of the patriarch in the biblical re-
cords, we do not find that the aver
age duration of human life has
been much greater or much less
than the three score and ten or the
four score years that are said to
have been the divinely appointed
term. As to what have been the
average duration of life among the
prehistoric men, we are altogether
in the dark.—George Ticknor Cur

, There is a clever, worthy family
living in Guilford county, Gibson-
ville, N. who is afflicted with a
son mad from birth. And yet, as if
the most beautiful creature with
which the God parent endows bis
creature man, the family are devo
ted to that unfortunate boy. They
keep him shut up, but treat him as
kindly’ and tenderly as if he was
a blessing in their midst. The lad
is now twelve y r ears old, well
grown and developed, and nearly
as strong as a man. If he sees a
stranger he stretches out his neck
and approaches, wringing his hands
and running his tongue out like a
snake. He will shine his eye at
you and take it off as quick as a:
bird. He has got a great desire to |
play with horses. His rage is al- j
most unmanageable, but the home I
people seem to have control of him. i
Anything pretty shaken before bis
eyes will cheek him in bis wildest
rage. And the boy is strengthen
ing into manhood, and the dark |
cloud before bis eyes is getting ;
blacker aud blacker,
