That Is one reason why plays and novels which have taken Mormon eocial life for their theme have never yet been sneeeaafol. There is nothing either In the ftdth, customs or habits of Mormondom that can fhrnlsh material for a sunnv picture. Wbat can there be that la pleasant in the licentious bondage of Mormon social relations ? Ia it any wonder that it is too revolting a theme for the caricaturist and too sensually commonplace for the dramatist. There is nothing romantic In Mormonistu. All the bright impulses of youth which give such a rosy coloring to the passions in the morning of life are unknown in Utah, because feelings are stilled and impulses trammeled bv the horrible social usages which make Mormon women ,aa so much cattle to be driven into the fold of their masters. Yes, the question has often been asked why did we submit to it. It is Easily answered. Brought up from infancy in the Mormon faith, of which polygamy is the corner-stone, taught to believe that to disobey Brigham •Young’s will was to disobey God, who can wonder at our submission to what outside of Mormon life would seem revolting? , T . a _ When did I goto Utah? I can scarcely remember the time. I have dim recollection of crossing the plains with an emigrant team when I was •nly four years old. I grew up surrounded by Mormon ism. When I was nineteen years old Brigham Young saw me and claimed me for bis own. I resisted, but all of my surroundings forced me into the marriage. After five years of the bondage I determined to escape from it. The way in which I did it is now known to e\'ery one. What do I think will be the outcome of Mormunism ? * Its destruction is certain. How or .when can scarcely be predicted, because it is in the power of the United States government to stop it at any time. If the government of this great nation has not the courage to take this action, I think the evil may cure itself. You ask me in what way? Well, the one plea of Mornionism to the outside world has lieen that their system of polygamy destroyed the great social evil which te said to exist in all countries. This was true in years gone by. The Mormon women submitted themselves to the teachings of •their church in implicit faith that it was born of divine authoritj’. They were faithfol victims to its heretieal teaching, but they have grown wiser in one respect,, unwise perhaps in another. The systerii of polygamy is growing into its inevitable conclusion r-concubinage. The blind faith which made the early Mormon women faithful to their segment of a husband has lost its hold, and the svsteni itself, is now spreading the seeds of its own destruction. Like all false systems, it can not have any permanent endurance. But why let the poisonous social reptile wear out' a disastrous existence, when “the heel of .power” could crush out its life at once?

Prior to the discovery of -the continent by Columbus, there was no cereal in America approaching in nature to the wheat plant. It was not, observes the American Miller, until 1530 that wheat found its way into Mexico, and then only by chance. A slave of Cortez fojuud a few grains of wheat in a parcel of rice and showed them to his master. * The result showed that wheat would thrive.well on Mexican soil; and to-day one of the finest wheat valleys in the world is near the Mexican capital. From Mexico, the cereal found its way to Peru. Marie D’Escobar, wife of Don Diego de Chauves, carried a few grains to Lima, which were planted, the entire product being used for seed for several successive crops. At Quito, Ecuador, a monk of the order of St. Francis, by the name of Fray Jodosi Bixi, introduced a new cereal; and it is said that the jar which contained the seeds is still preserved by the monks of Quito. Wheat was introduced in the present limits of the United States contem-' poraneously with the settlement of. the country by the English and Dutch. The geographical range over which wheat can be grown is peculiar. It is not produced in tropical climates. Here its place is taken Dy rice. There re a northern limit to its growth. Beyond this oats can be grown. It is, On the whole, the hardiest of the cereals; and it is said that its quality is best when it is grown on that margin beyond which it will not ripen at all. wheat is the most costly of cereals. The crop is scantier, and as it£ sends its principal roots deeply intb the earth, it is more exhausting to the soil: hut the meal or flour is better adapted to sustain the various vital functions than that of any other kind of grain. The product of wheat in the United States is constantly progressing. In 1840 the total products were only 88,512,000 bushels: while'it amounted to 100,485,800 in 1850, to 171,183,500 In 1860, 260,146,000 in 1869. The chief States in 1860 were Illinois, lowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and California.—American Jlural Home.

The seven Bibles of the world are the Koran of the Mohammedans, the Tri Pitikes of the Buddhists, the Five Kings of the Chinese, the three Vedas of the Hindoos, the Zendavesta, and the Scriptures of the Christians. The Koran is the most recent of these, dating about the seventh century after Christ. It is a compound of quotations from the Old and the New Testament, the Talmud, and the Gospel of Bt. Barnabas. The Ed das of the Scandinavians were first published in the fourteenth century. The Pitikes of the Buddhists contain sublime morals, and pure aspirations, and their author lived and died in the sixth century before Christ. There is nothing of excellence in these sacred books not found in the Bible. The sacred writings of the, Chinese are called the Five Kings, the word “JKing" meaning web of cloth. They contain the best sayings of the best sages on the duties of life. These sayings cannot be traced further back than eleven hundred years before Christ. Ihe three Vedas are the most ancient books of the Hindoos; and they are believed to date not beyond eleven hundred years before Christ; The Zendavesta ‘of the Persian* lathe greatest of sacred books next to our Bible, Zoroaster, whose sayings it contains, was born in the twelfth-century before Christ. Moses lived and wrote the Pentateuch fifteen hundred years before Christ, therefore that portion of our Bible is at least three hundred years older than the m<pt<p*cift*t of other sacred writings.

Almost all boy an naturally mechanise. The constructive and imitative faculties are developed, in part, at a very early. Sge. All boys are not capable of being developed Into good, practical working mechanics, but inoat of them snow their bent that way. There an few cases In which the bay has no competent idea of the production of a fabricated result from inorganic material, but such cases there are. Given the proper encouragement and the means, and many boys whose mechanical aptness Is allowed to run to waste, or Is diverted from its natural course, would become good workmen, useful, producing members of the industrial community.

Give the Boys Tools.

1 The mechanical boy ought to have a shop of his own. Let It be the attic, or an unused room, or a place in the barn or wood shed. Give him a place and tools. Let him have a good pock-et-tmlfo, gimlets, -eMsets, gouges, planes, catting nippers, saw, a foot rale, amd material to work. Let the boy have.a chance. If he is a mechanic it will come out, and he will do himself credit. If he foils he la to follow some calling that does • not demand mechanical »kill. —Boaton Journal of Commerce. ,

He Paid.

Wall lta*t D*Ut a*ta*. They sat on the steps of the Toombs. One was about 14 ana the other about 10 years old. They looked at each other in a solemn way for a minute, and then the big one said: “Feller told me last night that all walking-match bets was off on ’count of fraud.” “That’s too thin,” replied the little one. “We had a square bet, and you lost. I shall have to claim them 10 cents.” , „ “But we didu’t put up the money. “I know’ it. You trusted to my honor, and I trusted to yours. You knew you could lick me if I didn’t pay, and I knew you wouldn’t crawfish for 10 cents. Fork ’er over, Jim, and be a man.” “I dunno about that,’’ said Jim in a dubious voioe.

“Jim,” continued the little one, “yo ain’t always goin’ to black butes. Five years from now you may be keepin’ a saloon. Then you want my custom. Then you’ll wish you’d paid this bet.” I shan’t never keep a saloon.” “Then may be you’ll run a steamboat. Do you want me and all my friends to be down on your boat, and go around, saying as how her biler is old and liable to bust?” “I don’t like steamlioating.” “Then may be you’ll tend ferrygate. Would it be nice for me and the boys to hang around there and talk about certain dead-beats who ought not to be trusted in an official position? Why, it would run you out ID ft week*^ “I shall never ’tend ferry-gate; I’m goin’ to run for office.” “Sure?” “Yes, sure.” “Then Jim, don’t you wait a minit. Pay right up. I know vou can lick me and all that; but I tell you if you don’t pay I’ll pack the caucus on you, hire the papers to abuse you, and wind vou up so tight on your record that you’ll be laid out by 10,000 majority. Take your choice, Jim; paj’ that" 10 cents, and go to congress awhoopin’; or beat me out of it, and git laid out colder’n a wedge by the honest electors!” He paid.' - ' ' _

He Had Reasons.

. One day last fall a queer sort of an old man hired a boat and rowed out on the river a little below Yonkers to fish. So far as could be observed from the banks he had no luck. He went out about ten in the morning, and at four in the afternoon he sat ih the same position, held his fishpole the same way, and had evidently settled down to stay there all night. Pretty soon a steamboat came rushing along down the river. She was headed directly for the fisherman, who was in mid-channel. She blew her whistle to warn him, but after a glance over his shoulder he resumed tbe old attitude. The steamer came nearer and nearer, and the old man was observed to give a sudden start and pay more attention to his line. When too late the pilot tried to stop and avoid the accident. The skiff was struck broadside and splintered to pieces, and for two or three minutes it was believed the old man was drowned. Then some' one espied him in the wake of the boat, and he was fished out.

“Didn’t you, hear us whistle?” asked the Captain, as the dripping man stood before-him. “Yes; and I whistled back!” was the reply. “We whistled for you to get out of the way.” ‘ “Anil I whistled to let you know that I’d be dhraed if I would.” “Had you any reasons for hanging ito the channel?” “Reasons! 7 guess I had! I had fished there for six hours without a nibble, and just as you came along I’d hooked a perch, which I honestly believe weighed mighty nigh a pound! Drat yotir old steamboat, but I’ll make you pay for that fish as well as the damages f I was six hours catching him, and I won’t settle for a farthing less than fifty cents.

Bohemianism.

Art Journal. The peculiarity of the Bohemian is his nomadic bias—he is unsettled and vagrant—the Captain Dugaid DalgetSf of literature, who fights under any ag that pays. The Bohemian brethren we have to present now are of a higher grade, more methodical, more orderly, but still bearing the ear-mark of the tribe. The first we have to name is no less than famous Edgar A. Poe; famous now, but scarcely accounted in his lifetime worthy of a place in the ranks of legitimate authorship. In his “habit as he lived” he was shifty topographically; in Richmond one day, Philadelphia, then Baltimore, and again New York. His employment was uncertain, his habits irregular. At one time he works on Graham's Magazine , again on ,the Southern Literary Messenger, then he is in the Home Journal office in this city. *ln Philadelphia he projects a new critical journal to be named The Stylus , ana, after the old fashion of the Bohemians in Oliver Goldsmith’s day, he solicits subscriptions. In New York he starts the Broadway Journal , meanwhile wandering hither and thither, until he finally lands at Fordham in a cottaare on the top of a rocky mound, where his household puts on quite a comely and tidy appearance, from the**damages collected in a libel suit agaisnt a newspaper proprietor (Hiram Fuller), who died tne other day in London. He had boon companions; not many, but among them is a Bohemian brother, one Webber, author of a book entitled “Gila; or, the Land of Gold.” It was Webber who had the story to tell that Poe’s grotesque tales, now’ so celebrated, were the conceptions of his drunken moments, recorded and published when he became sober. In Poe's behalf it is to be said that he was always neat in person, closely shaved, clean shirted and well brushed. He is probably the most eminent name on the roll of American Bohemians, and may rank fairly with the most distinguished French and German graduates of that school.

Didn’t Know His General.

During the war General McLaws, now Postmaster at Savannah, was riding down his picket line and encountered a son or the Old Pine Tree State on duty, who had taken his gun apart with the intention of giving it a thorough cleaning. The General halted in front of him. ‘Look hare, my man, are you not a sentinel on duty?’ ‘Well, y-a-s, a bit of one.’ ‘Don’t yop know it is wrong to take your gun apart while you are on duty?’ . , ‘Well, now, who are you?’ The General saw his chance, and with a sly twinkle of the eye, replied: ‘I am a. hit of a General.’ ‘Well, General, you must excuse tne. You see thar is so many fools riding around here a fellow can’t tell who 7 * General and who ain’t, if you will jist wait till I get Betsey Jane fixed I will give you a bit of a salute.’

Beet Ttoetor grata Wet*. , A writer In tbe London Lancet, in sscsSuiS jts&sis ment that the early morning te tbe test dime for mental labor; llurt the brain, having had a few lion noC rest daring sleep, Is at Its lest. He rays: “Thoee who do not feel thus on awakening are either the subjects of some morbid state, or the slaves of a habit which, however common, ia eaaenthdly unnatural." The sublects of some morbid state are ao common that they may include all those who do not find their brains moet clear, ready and useful in the early morning, but we have auother explanation to oflfer to them, ono which will account for It In those who are not willing to acknowledges morbid state or unnatural habit. Our explanation is, we think, physiological, natural aud sufficient. It is this. As a rule our bodily organs are at their best when “under way,” as is said of a steamer. A pedestrian cannot do his best till warmed up to his work. Racing horses are not started In a race until they have been “speeded” once or twice round the track to - limber their muscles. Though sleep rests our muscles, we arc not likely to wake in the morning in tlie l>est condition for an athletic contest. It takes the muscles sometime to wake up and get accustomed to their regular business. Sleep affects the brain even more than muscle, aud to hurry the brain from a state of absolute resposo to its condition of greatest activity is neither an easy nor a good thing to attempt. Most persons find their brains at their “best” toward the latter part of the day, when that organ Is not only berter prepared for work by a few hours of exercise, but also because the blood circulation is then more free, rapid and forcible than it is at early morning, and active blood circulation is very necessary to good brain work. The early morning is a good time to use for awakening the muscles and blood circulation with a little exercise, thus awakening an appetite for a g .od solid breakfast. When all the bodily functions are invigorated and refreshed, the brain will, like a well-fed horse that “feels his oats,” be ready for whatever it may be called upon to do.

Shot.

The Baltimore American gives this description of the manufacture of shot in one of the towers of that city. One of the “secrets” of the manufacture is the mixing of the lead with a certain proportion of a combination of mineral substances called “temper.” The “temper” is fused with the lead, aud gives the molten metal that consistency which makes it drop. If It were not for the “temper” ; he lead would be molded by the sieve, and would form little pencils instead of round shot. When“Bß” shot,for instance, are to be made, the lead is poured into a pan perforated with holes corresponding to that size. The little pellets come pouring down in a continuous shower and fall into a tank filled with water on the ground floor. In their descent of 200 fret they become perfect spheres, firm and dense, and they are tolerably cool when they strike the water, afr though the swift concussion makes the tank foam and bubble as if the water was boiling furiously. The shot must fall in water, for if they should strike any firm substances they would be flattened and knocked out of shape. To get the little pellets perfectly ary after they have been in the “well,” is the most difficult and troublesome process of the whole manufacture. An elevator with small buckets(very much like those used in flour mills)carries the shot up as fast as they reach the bottom or the “well,” and deposits them in a box sixty feet above the first floor. The water drips from the buckets as they go up, and not much is poured into the receiver above, although it is intended to-be a sort of dripping machine. From this receiver the shot runs down a spout into a drying pan, which greatly resembles a gigantic shoe, made of sheet iron. The pan rests at au angle which permits the wet shot to roll slowly down to the chamber below, and the pellets became perfectly dry as they pass over the warm sheet iron.

Little Jakie Jones.

Detroit Free Preap i Old Mrs. Jones borrowed Mrs. Brown’s receipe for making watermelon pickle tne other day, and, bemg hard of hearing, as she couldn’t read very well, she got her grandson ’Jakie to read it for ner. Jakie took the paper, like a dutiful child, and, folding it upside down, commenced: “Take a green watermelon —” “Why, Jakie, ain’t you mistaken? I thought the melon must be ripe.”** “Oh, what’s the matter wiayew! Gew ever see a watermelon that wusn’t green ?”

“Cut the watermelon into four halves—” “But there ain’t only two halves to anything. I don’t believe you arc reading that, Jakie.” “Well, I don’t have to, anyhow that’s what the reseet says. Then soak it in a pint cup—” “Oh, dear me! How in the world can you put a watermelon in a pint cups” “Well, i I ain’t here to tell the whereas and howfores. I’m just reading the facts and you can put in the fllosofee to suit your taste. After soakin’ the melon put in a skillet and fry it fur five days.” “I wonder if Mrs. Brown sent me such a recipe as that?” said the old lady: but Jakie kept on: • “Then put the watermelon in a quart bowl and pour over it a gallon of vinegar, taking care not to spill the vinegar—” “I’d just like to know how you can pour a gallon into a quart bowl without spilling any of it;” but Jakie continued . “Then sift a peck .of red pepper through a milk strainer over the melon, and to one cup of butter and the white and yolkes and shells of three eggs, and throw in the old hen that laid them, and four sticks of-cinnamon drops and two tablespoonsful of quinine and run it through a coffee-mill and let it stand till it ferments, and then put it in a tin can and tie tire can to a dog’s tail—this will stir it up to the right consistency—and then you can turn it oft in croeks and have it ready for use. Serve it cold and spread it on mince pie and it makes capital desert,” and Jakie slid out the door and left the old lady looking like a wrinkle on a monument.

Sleep.

There is no fact more clearly established in the physiology of man than this, that the brain expends its energies and itself during the hours of wakefulness, and that these are recuperated during sleep; if the recuperation does not equal the expenditure the brain withers; this is insanity. Thus It is that in early English history persons who were condemned to death by being prevented from sleeping, always died raving maniacs; thus tt is a?so that those who are starved to death become insane; the brain is not nourished and they cannot sleep. The practical inferences are three: Those who think most, who do most brain work, require most sleep: That time “saved” from necessary sleep is infalliably destructive to mind, body and estate. Give youraelf, your children, your servMits, rive all who are under you the fullest amount of sleep they will take by compelling them to go to bed at some regular, earty hour, and to rise in the morning the moment they awake of themselves, and within a fortnight nature, with almost the regularity of the rising sun, will un-

loose the tends of sleep the moment enough repose has been secured for the wants of the system. This is the only sufficient rule, and aa the question how much sleep any one requires, each must be a rule for himselr; great nature will never foil to write It out to the observer, under the regulations Just given.

Eighteen hundred and eljftity was an exceptionally good year for comets, gome two hundred of these erratic nebulse have been seen hi this century; so that thos_» seen in 1880 were more than a fair allowance .for several ordinary years. Early in FebruaryProfessors Gould, of Cordova, and Gill, of Cape Town, announced a comet which has been authoritatively spoken of as “oue of the greatest astronomical wonders of this century, if not of modern times.’* It was ISO,000.000 miles long, for jpore than the distance from the earth to "Hie sun. Unfortunately’ this rare visitor escaped our nothem telescopes, for it was only visible in the southern hetnisBhere.8 here. Early in April, however, J. I. Schoberleon, of Ann Arbor, found a little one near the north star. On August 11th Dr. Swift, of Rochester, saw one, and at. the end of September Professor Harrington, of Ann Arbor, saw another. On Oetober 10th, Dr. Swift, of Rochester, bagged a second, making the fifteenth which has been discovered in this country. Of these six go to the doctor’s individual score, and for the last four years his average has been oue per annum. That, vuln speaking, “gave him the cake.” as shortly after this that another eminent scientific persons, who apparently had some difficulty in aiming his telesope, took occasion' to print a letter in which be referred to the “usual bungling way” in which Dr. Swift prepares the occasional menues, incomprehensible by the vulgar, which tells his colleagues when comets and other astronomical delicacies are in season. Finally, at the end of the year, came Coopers comet, which, however, has had its fires pretty much extinguished by the cold water which has been thrown upon it by our own astronomers—if we may be allowed that figure of speech. Parnell has been expelled and twen-ty-seven other Irish members suspended from the house of commons for the course they have pursued in connection with tne coercion bill.- A meeting of home rulers was afterwards held at which they decided to issne a manifesto to the Irish people, denouncing the conduct of the house, but advising the people to keep within the lines of constitutional action. •A profane Philadelphia newspaper suggests that now that the army is fitted out with cork helmets it will be necessary to furnish the Indians with rcokscrews instead of guns.

Atchison Champion. No Benefit.

An Indiana newspaper thus writes: Mr. Geo. F. Helderle, of Peru, Ind., says that he has suffered very much with rheumatism and used many remedies without benefit. He found the desired relief in St. Jacobs Oil.

A “coffee-cart” recently appeared in one of the most thickly-settled of Chicago, supplying coflee and bread to the poor free of charge. It is a private “enterprise,” and was liberally patronized.

The Voice of the Lion.

One’s taste for music wcAald seem U> require cultivation before he could recall the terrible beast of the' (insert’s “sweet’’under the circumstance* described osr this traveler..One of the most striking things connected •with the lion is his voice,which is extremely* grand and peculiarly striking. It cofesists at times of a low, deep moaning, repeated five or six times, ending in faintly audible sighs; at other times he startles the forest with loud, deep-toned, aolgmn roars,' repeated five or six times in quick succession, each increasing in loudness to the third or fourth, when his voice dies away into five or six low, muffled sounds, very much resembling distant thunder. At times, and not unfreouently, a troop may be heard roaring in concert, one assuming lead, and one, two, three, or four more regularly taking up their parte, like persons singing a catch. Like our Scottish stags,they roar loudest in cold, frosty nights. But on no occasion are their voices so powerful, as when two or three strange troops of lions approach a fountain to drink at the same time. When this occurs, every member of the same troop sounds a bold roar of defiance at the opposite parties; and when one roan, all roar together, and each seems to vie with his comrade In the intensity and power of his voice. The power and grandeur of these nocturnal forest concerts is inconceivably striking and pleasing to the hunter’s ear. The effect, I may remark, is greatly enhanced when the hearer happens to be situated in the depths of the forest, at the dead hour of midnight, unaccompanied by any attendant, and ensconced within twenty yards of the fountain which the surrounding troop of lion# are approaching, Such has been my situation many scores of times; and though I atn allowed to have a tolerably good taste for music, I consider the catches with which I was then regaled the sweetest and most natural I ever beard.— Cumming.

We do not often speak of any proprietory medicine, but from what we nave read and heard of Alien’s Lung Balsam, we shall take the liberty of saying to those who are troubled with a Cold, Cough, or any Throat or Lung Affection, that from the testimony afforded, we have such confidence in this article, that were we afflicted in this way, we would make a trial of its virtues. Beware of the fatal consequences of neglecting this 'timely warning. Before it is too late, use Allen’s Lung Balsam, which will cure the disease. Every druggist in the land sells it. Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson, the philanthropist, during the last six years has given away about $600,000. According to the late census there are 246 cities in-4he United States Having a population of over 10,000.

The Beginning of the End.

The beginning of disease is a alight debility or dieorder of tome of the vital organs, the stomach, the liver or the bowels nasally. There are dyapeptic aymptoma, the liver la troublesome, the Ain grows tawney and unhealthy looking, there are pains in the right aide ar through the right shoulder blade. The climax is often an utter prostration of t e physical energies, perhaps a fatal issue. Bat If the difficulty le met in time with Hostettor's Htomsch Hitters, which is always effective sea remedy, should be resorted to at an early stage, there will be no reason to apprehend those Injuriona subsequent effects upon the system often euteilod by eutirely cured diseases. Far battsr is it also to employ till, safe remedial agent in feTer and ague, and other malarial oomplaints, than quinine and other potent drugs, which, eren when they do prore effectual for a lima, rain tha stomach and Impair the general baalth.

Fees of Doctors.

Hie fee of doctors is an item that very many persons are interested in just at present. We believe the schedule for visits is $3.00, which would tax a man confined to his bed for a year and in need of a daily visit, over SI,OOO a year for medical attendance alone! And a single bottle of Hop Bitters taken in time would save the SI,OOO and all the year’s sickness.— Pott.
