But for his pledge to Mr. Cheetham, he could hardly have persisted in the struggle.

As for Jael Dence, she had no great reason to be happy either: the man she loved loved another. Still he was kind to HER, and they belonged to the same class she had a chance, and gleams of hope. And, alter all, the future was uncertain, but the present certain: she had him to herself for the day. She wan, close to hirq—so close, that she could feel him,—and he was driving her oqt, and to those who loved her: she basked hi the present delight, and looked as if A she was being taken to heaven by an angel, Instead of driven to Cairnhope

But she continued to •«make her little remarks occasionally, -t iand, ere they reached Cairnhope, he found himself somehow soothed, by her sex, her beauty, and her mellow, kindly voice.

As they drove up to the farm-house, .he told her to hide her face a moment, for they didn't know who it was.

Heniy thought that waa no reason for Patty's staying at home she ought rather to go and hear the banns were cried all right

At this proposal both sisters lifted up 'k their hands, and he was remonstrated with, and lectured, and at last informed

that, if a girl was in church when her banns were cried, her children would be .» all born deaf and dumb.

Old Dence shook his head. He was one of those simple, grand, old rustic Christians, who have somehow picked out the marrow of religion, and left the devil the bone, yclept Theology. "What?" TP said he, "my lasses I can't ye spare God a slice out of his own day?" "Nay, it is not that, father."

"You are quite right, Mr Little. Trust none but friends."

This Was a bitter remark. Henry^could not reply to it, and that moved his bile. Patty pursued her advantage, and let him

know "that, when a young man brought a was Mr. Cheetham to

young woman out for the day, he did not leave her for three hours at a stretch, unless he meant to affront her. She raised Iter voice in saying this, and so did in replying, "Tell you I came out on my own business, not he show you my note?

Jael came out at the raised voices, and received this last sentence full in the face. She turned pale. •Oh, Patty. Patty, what have you

Having delivered this admonition, Jael softened it by kissing her, and whispered, "Father's asking for his tea."

This question raised a tumult in Tael's

heart. ^3ut her strong will,, her loyalty, cept as well as example. ... .. Henry assented,

This'was too much. Jael's courage and patience tailed her for once. 'Keep It,' she cried almost wildly. "I can't bear no more. There's not ene lass in a hundred wauld do what I have done tor you yet you want more. D'ye think I'm.not flesh and blood, as well as her?'

And She began to cry bitterly. This took Hetiry quite by surprise, and grieved him. He consoled her, and coaxed her, in ,vague terms, that did not produce artV teffect. So then he kissed her cheek, and dried her eyes with his own handkerchief, and that was net quite so ineffectual. She gave a final sob, and said, with some slight remains of passion, "There, there4, never heed me. It takes a deal, ol patience to go through the \vorld."- And- bhe left him.

He was not sorry to Je alone a minute, and think, This short dialogue with Jaei gave him some insight into female character 11 made him suspect that he had

too timid with Qrace Carden, and also that there were two noraen in the game instead of one.

When tho time came to return he asked leave to borrow a horse cloth. He aired it by the fire, and remarked that it had turned very cold. "Why," said Patty, "you have got you top-coat. WeU, you area soft one." "And you area sharp one," said Henry ironically.

When Jael came to the gig, Henry put the cloth over her shoulders. "Twasn't for me, ye eee," eaid he: "'twas for my betters. "I like you for that," said Patt/.

Then theft wfc* much kissing, and shaking of hands, and promising to come again, and away they drove to Hillsborough.

'Is that ail? Why, I quite envied you your ride, and your companion.' 'She is a very good girl.' 'She is something more than that: bu: one doe* not find her out all at once.'

Now it waa Henry's turn. But he was flustered, and thinking how he should begin. And, while he hesitated, the lady asked him was he come to finish the bust. 'No. I didn't come for that. I will finish it though.' And thus he was diverted from nts purpose, for the moment.

He took a carving tdol, and eyed .his model, but soon laid down the tool, and said: 'Ihaven't thanked you yet. And I don't know how to thank you.' •What for?' 'For what you sent to Mr. Cheetham?' 'Oh!' said Grace, and blushed. Then she turned it of, and said she thought il any body ought to thank her for that, it

She colored high again. 'What! did

'Hedid: and that haa made tne his friend. Shall I tell you the effect of those^ words on me?' 'No never mind. But I'm glad I put them in. if they did you any good.' 'Any good? They made me anew come man. I was broken-hearted: and I hated every body. Good doctor Amboyne had set" me work to do to save the lives of my fellow-creatures. But I couldn't I hated them so. The world had been too unjust to me, I could not leturn 'tgood for evil. My heart was full of rage and bitterness,"' "That's a great pity—at vour age. But really it is no wonder. Ves you have been cruelly used." And the water stood in Grace's eyes. "Ay, but it is all over those sweet words of yours made a man of me again.

They showed me you cared a little for me. Now I have found a way to outwit the Trades. Now I'm on the road to fortune. I won't be a wbrkman this time next year. I'll be a master, and a thriving one." "Ay, do, do. Beat them, defeat them make them scream with envy. JJut I am afraid you are too sanguine. "No I can do it, if you will only give me another word of hope to keep me going: and oh, I need i, if you knew all.

Grace began to look uneasy. "Mr. Little can you doubt that you have my best wishes?" said she gimrde.lly,. and much less warmly than she had spoken just before. "No, I don't doubt that but what I fear is, that, when I have gained the hard battle, and risen in the world, it will be too late. Too late."

Grace turned more and more uncomfortable. "Oh, pray wait a few months, and see what I can do, before you—•"

Will it be believed that Mr. Carden, who seldom cam# into this room at all, must walk in, just at this moment, and interrupt them? He was too occupied with his own affairs, to pay much attention to their faces, or perhaps he might have asked himself why the young man was so pale, and his daughter so red. "I heard you were here, Little, and I want to speak to you on a matter of some importance." urace took this opportunity and made her escape from the room promptly.

Henry, burning inwardly, had to listen politely to a matter he thought pitiably unimportant compared with that which had been broken off. But the "Gosshawk" had got him in its clutches and was resolved to make him a decoy duck. He was to open a new vein of Insurances.

Nor was Rowbotham a mere MOM Dt PLUME It was the real name of Silly Billy. The boy had some turn for carving, but was quite uncultivated Henry took him into his employ, fed him, and made free with hi* name. With nil this he found time to get a key made to fit the lock of Cairnhope old Church.

At one o'clock on Thursday morning he came to Cheetham's works, ana scratched at the gate, A big workman opened it. It lurned out to be Cheetham himself, in a moleskin suit, and a long beard* I RU

He was simple enough to hope she would come back, and have it out with him.

She kept carefully out of his way, and, last, he went sadly home. 'Ah,' said he, 'Jael gave ma bad ad vice. I have been piemature and t'rightended her.'

He would go to wtork his own way again. In forty-eight hours he moved into his new houke, furnished it partly: bought a quantity of medicore wood-carving, and improved it put specimens in his winand painted his nair.e ever the door. This, at his mother's request and tearful entreaties, he painted out again, and substituted 'Rowbotham.'

There was only one great difficulty in their wav a man On a horse might cross the mow, but a cart must go by "Raby Hall" to reach the church and, before they got within a furlong of the Hall, a watch-dog began to bark. "Stop, sir," Whispered Harry. "I expected this." He then produced some pieces ol thick felt, and tied them with strings round the wheela.

They got to the church, opened the dooi, ana drew the forge into the deserted building.

As soon as they got inside, Cheetham cast his eyes round and gave a shudder. "Y ou must have a stout heart: no money should tempt me to work here by myself. Lord! What's that?"

For a low musical moan was heard. Cheetham darted back, and got to &£ church- door.

Henry's heart beat faster: but he lighted his lantern, and went up the aisle. The place was sotemp, grim, gaunt, and moi^dering, and echoed strangely but it was empty. He halloed to his companion that it was all right. Then they set the forge up near a pillar at the entrance into the chancel, when they had done this, and brought in the steel laths,, the sacks of coals, etc., Cheetham produced a flask, and took a pull of neat brandy. This gave him courage, and he ptpposed to have a look round before they went. Accordingly they inspected the building

When they came round to the chancel, suddenly there was a rattle, and a tremendous rush of some huge thing that made a cold wi^d, and blew out the light. .•

Henry was appalled, and Cheetham dropped the lantern, and ran, yelling. And soon Henry heard his voice in the churchyarj calling on him to come out.

He did go out, and telt very much pua-a'f-d and alarmed. However, he got matches trorn Cheetham, and went back, and lighted the lantern, quaking a little, and then he found that the great mouldering picture over the altar had rotted away from some ot its supports, and one half of it was now drooping, like a monstrous wing over, the altar.

He returned with the lantern, and told Cheetham what it was. Then he screwed on the lock, locked the church, and they went back to Hillsborough itt good spirits.

But, as he lay in bed, Henry thought the matter over, and, for the first time in his life, felt superstitious. "It is very odd," lie said, "that old picture my forefathers have worshipped under, and prayed to, no doubt, should flap .out in my face like that, the moment I offered to set up my forge among their dead bones."

Daylight dispersed these superstitious feeeli'ngs, and the battle began. As usual, the first step toyvards making money, was to part with it. He could do nothing without a horse and a lignt cart. In Hillsborough they drive magnificent horses in public cabs: Henry knew one in particular, that had often spun up the steepest hills with him a brute of*prodigious bone and spirit. He bought this animal for a moderate price, considering his value: and then the next thing was—and indeed with some of us it precedes the purchase of the animal—to learn to ride.

He had only two days to acouire this accomplishment in: so he took a com pendious method. He went to the circus, at noon, and asked to see the clown. A gloomy fellow was fished out of the nearest public, and inquired what he wanted. "The clown."'

"Well, I am the clown." "What! vou the merry chap tKat makes the fun?" said Henry, incredulously. "I make the fun at night," replied the man, dolefully. "If you want fun out of me, come and pay your shilling, like a man." •But Isn't fun I'm come for. I want to learn to ride.' •Then you are too old. Why, we begin as soon as we can statid on a horse's back.' 'Oh, I don't mean to ride standing. I want to sit a horse, rearing, or plunging,

blundering over rough ground.' •What will you stand?' •A sovereign.' The clown dived into the public-house, and told a dark seedy man, With his black hair plastered and rolled effeminately, that ne had got a bloke who would stand a quid for a mount. The two came out, and the piastered Italian went to the stables: the melancholy punster conducted Henry into the arena, and stood beside him, like Patience on a monument. Presently a quiet mare ran, in, and was stuck.

Henry was mounted, and cantered her round, the two men instinctively following in a smaller circle, with jaws as long as your arm. 'This is delightful,' said Henry 'but I might as well be sitting in a chair. What I want is Prancer.'

Then they brought him another horse, just as docile as the mare. The obedient creature, at a signal, reared suddenly, and seated Mr. Little on the sawdust behind him. it similar result was attained several times, by various means. But Henry showed himselt so tough, counageous^and persistent, that he made great progress, and his good-humor won his preceptors. They invited him to come to morrow, at an earlier hour, and bring half a quid with him. He did so, ana thii time there was an American rider rehearsing, who showed. Henry what to do, and what not to do and gave him a moit

hum

jrous

and instructive lesson. Indeed, nis imitations of bad riding were so truthful and funny, that even the clown was surprised into one laugh he who rarely smiled,unices in the way of businefs'. "Well, air,", said Henry, "you have given me a good lesson now take a aint a hint from me just you go and do all this betore the public for I never saw you do any thing half so droll.1'

They all three shook their heads with one accord. Go out of the beaten trpek, before an audience? Never. Such vagaries were only admissible in private.

After this second day the. fee was reduced to a gallon of ale.

But, on the third day, the pupil combined theory with practice. He told his mother he was going to Cairnhope for the night. He then rode off to Cairnhope church. He had two large saddlebags, containing provisions, and tools of all sorts. He got safe across the moor just before sunset, he entered the church, led the horse in with him, and put him into the Squire's pew. He then struck a light, went into the chancel, and looked at the picture. It was as he had left it half on the wall, half drooping over the altan place- The walls were rank, and streaked here and there with green. His footstepa echoed? and the edifloe was all dark, exoept within the rays of his lantern It also sang and moan ed in away 10 be accounted ior by the action of the wind on a Bomber small

bucket lull for other uses. He then prepared and lighted his forge. As he plied the bellows, and the coals gleamed brighter and brighter, monumental figures came out and glared at him mutilated inscriptions wavered on the walls portions of the dark walls themselves gleamed in the full light, and showed the streaks and »tains of age and weather, and the shadow of a gigantic horse's head and, as the illuminated part seemed on fire by contrast, so the dark part of the church was horribly black and mysterious, and a place out of which a ghost

phantom might be expected, at any moment, to come forth in that brilliant patch of light..

Young Little, who had entered am this business in all the skepticism of the nineteenth century, felt awed and began to wish he had selected st\y other building hi ihe world but this. He .s^tmed to .^-desecrating a tomb.

However, he musteied up his manly resolutions. He looked up at a small aperture in the rooi, and saw a star glittering above. it seemed close, and a type of that omniscient eye 'from which no secrets are hM.'

He clasped his hands together, and said, 'I hope God, who has seen me driv cn from the haunts of men, will forgive me for taking relugehere and if he does, I don't care who else is offended, alive or dead.' And, with this, he drew the white-hot strip of steel from the forge on to the anvil, and down came his hammer with a blow that sent the fiery steel flying all tound, and rang an echoed through the desolate building. Instantly there was a tremendous plunge and clatter, followed by a shaking sound, and, whic, the church was fanned by black wings going zigzag, 'Ten thousand devih!' veiled Henry, and heaved the hammer hiu defense.

igh, in his own

But it was only the horse plunging and

livering with fear, and a score of bats blow of the hammer had frightened out of the rotten pulpit.

He resumed work with a beating heart, and the building rang and echoed and re-echoed with the rapid blows and no more interruption came. The nineteenth cifttury conquered.

After four hours of earnest work, he fed his horse, ate a slice of bread and meat, drank water from the bucket, gave his hoi sc some, and went to sleep in the pew besides that useful animal.

Back to Hillsborough, at peep of day with the blades he had forged. He now took his mother, in a great measure, into his confidence, under a strict promise to tell nobody, not even Doctor Amboyne. Mrs. Little received the communication in a way that both surprised and encouraged him. She was as willing to outwit the Unions, as she was unwilling to resist them openlv and Henry found her an admirable coadjutor.

Had she known where Henry had set up his forge, she would have been very unhappy. But he merely told her it was a secluded place, near Cairnh^e, where he could never be detected.

The carving business, being merely a blind, was not pushed. But Henry gave his apprentice, Billy, instruction, and the youth began to show an aptitude which contrasted remarkably with his general incapacity.

Mrs. Little paid one* or two""visits" to factories, to see what woman could do in this sort ot wor« and, one day, she told Henry she was sure she could sharpen and finish the blades. "No, mother," said Henry. "You are a lady. I can't have you made a slave of, and your beautiful white hands spoiled." 1 "I shall be r»£ppier,t.elping you, dear and I won't spoil my hands, since you care about them."

She insisted on a trial, and soon acquirod a remarkable knack: she had a fine light hand: and it is an art easily learned by an attentive and careful woman. Indeed they can beat the men at it, if they will only make up their minds.

And so the enterprise was launched, and conducted thus: in the day time, Henry showed himself in the town, and talked big about carving and, in the afternoon, he rode out, and did the real work of his life, over the dead bodies bf his ancestors.

His saddle-bags were always full, and, gradually, he collected some comforts about him in the deserted church.

He called, more than once, at "Woodbine Villa," but Miss Carden was on a visit.

He was in the foil career of fortune again, and sanguine of success, before they met. One day, having ascertained from Jael, what day she would be at Home tiled, and was admitted. The roesn was empty, but Miss Carden soon came into it, accompanied by Jael carrying the bust. 3'# "Ah, Mr. Little," said sjttf* before he Could possibly utter a word, "this is fortunate. There is a party here on Thursday, and I want to (how the bust complete, if you don't mind."

Henry said he would finish it' tor her. He ac^ cordingly set to work, and waited quietly till ael should leave the room, to have it out with Grace. 'f

She, for her part, seemed to hive forgotten his strange maimer to her the other day perhaps she chose to forget it, or overlook it. But Henry observed that Jael Was not allowed to quit the room. Whatever Miss Carden wanted she fetched hersell, apd came back softly, and rather suddenly, as if she had a mind to surprise Jael and the other too. Female subtlety was clearly at work. •'What do you advise me?" *aid Hcnrv to Jael, during one of tiio .e intervals.

Jael never lifted her eyes from her work, and spoke under her breath, *'I think I'd be patient to-day. She must give you a chance to. sp«lk some day. Talk to me/ when she comes backabout the Cairnhope folk, or any thing."

Henry'followed this advice, and Grace, for the first time, found herself a little ignored in the conversation. She was astonished at this and 1, don't think she qufte Uked it.

Henry was still going on with wam*fh *nd volubility about the Cairnhope folk, their good hearts, •and their superstitions, when a visitor was an nounceJ. "Mr.Coventry.'! .. -t !y

Grace brightened up, and said she mm at home. Mr. Coventry entered tfie room a tall, well made man, wi|h an acquiline nose, and handsome lace, only perhaps there were more lines in it than he was entitled to at his age, for he na* bRr^fw thirty. He greeted Miss Carden win easy grace, and took no more notice^t the other two, than if they were ch4b* and tables,

THE FUNERAL OF B^IGHAW YOUNG. Salt Lake Spooial to Intor-Oeean, September

Brigham Young's body was plaoed io state yesterday morning in the new tabernacle, and remained so till to-day at 11 A. M. The luneral was advertised ta commence at ta. At n:ao his family entered apd filled eight rows of seats -at the foot of the ooffin, the large organ antt band plaving the pastoral-symphony. On the first seat sat Brigham's youngest daughter by the first wife, fanning her mother, who sat »ccond. Ne«t to he* sat Amelia Folsom, the seventeenth ami favorite wife, and beyond and back were arranged the other wives, sons, daughters, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law and giumfrchildren that reside in this cit^r and vicinity, numlpring 335. Back ol these were the high priests and the quorums of seventies. In the president's pulpit were Brigham Young,Jr., John W. Young, Daniel H. Wells and Apostle Cannon. At 11:30 the family took'a last farewpA look at the remains, the first wife and Amelia being tne chief mourners, antf Amelia the onlv one at all demonstr** tive. She was led to and from the coffin by her father.

The body was robed in the priestly or temple robes of the First Presidency, ail white, even to the cap, which was something like that of the Pope's. The colfin was then taken from an ice-box covering, closed, and over it a pall and a fine display of flowers were arranged. During this time the band and organ plaved the "Dead March in Saul." At ta o'clock Delegate Cannon, who was master el ceremonies, announced the opening hymn, which was finely sung by the Tabernacle choir of 150 male and female voices, accompanied by the big orsan and ten string instruments. Apostle Richards offered the opening prayer, followed by the second hymn, after whim Daniel H. Wells, second counsellor to Brigham Young, Apostles Woodruff, Eratus Snow, George G^Caiv non, and John Taylor made short and appropriate speeches, Delegate Cannon reading besides Brigham's instructions in regard to his luneral and burial Then followed the closing hymn, composed for the occasion, aad the benediction by Apostle Orson Hyde. This ended tM services afc the tabernacle.

The procosion was then formed, with the band and the cfyoir leading the city council, the body surrounded by tlM apostle, the family, high priests, bishops, quorums and iriends all marching to the

Clice

of burial. At the grave a parting jun was t.ung, and a prayer made by Apostle Richards. The last sjene ot all was the lowering ot the body into the grave. So ended he last act of the first presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ oi Latter-dsJf Saints, probably never to be restore#. Never were there so many people in Salt Lake City at one time. The big tabernacle was filled to its utmost seating and standing capacity, and the streets to the burying ground, which is a little cast of the Bee Hive House, was lined with men, women and children, quiet and interested beyond expression.

The twelve apostles, all but two of whom are here, now take the control at the church. What they do remains to be seen,

U. S. INTERNAL REVENUE. The greai value of this reyenue district to the general government is fully shown by the following report, tor the month of August, oi the collections made here. It is one of the largest in territory ot any in the country, and. there arc but four or five where the collections are greater* It is one of great responsibility, and requires constant snd careful supervision to look after the details of making such large collections.

The amounts were as follows: On spirits $197,089 49 Tobaceo 3,349 4a fermented liquors a,66o 33 Penalties 19

*203,099 *3

This a grand total of over two hundred thousand dollars in one month, or, about two and one half millions In one year.
