which God, in his wisdom and goodness
designed to bestow upon the human race
when he sent his Son to redeem the world
and by the power of the Holy Spirit to lead
and guide mankind into all Truth.
While thus setting forth the grounds Of
this testimony, we gratefully remember
the kindness with which our relirious
scruples are often regarded by those who
nave to support and to enforce the laws bv
which we are affected.
Dear trlends-As VIC have been permit
ted at this time unitedly to partake of the
mercles of our Heavenly Father, and to
feel our confidence in Him to be renewed.
In the belief that He is watching over us
as religious Society for good, may we all
so live in his fear, that we may availinclv
pray for his blessing; so acknowledge Him
IN all our ways, that He may direct our
paths whilst here, and finally grant us an
admission into his heavenly kingdom
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
In the love of the Gospel VIC cordially
bid you farewell.

.ne wafer advances westward, their mo
tion IS accelerated; and, after having trav
erseu inc globe, they return and strik
WIN great violence on the eastern shore o
america. Being stopped by that cont
HeLt, tney rush with impetuosity into the
Iuiph o. Mexico; thence they proceed
a1oilg the coast of North America, till they
e G 10 tne south side of the great bank Of
NewIoundland, where they turn off and
run GOWN through the Western Isles. This
li0tlon IS most probably owing to the dur
nai revolution Of the earth nits axis which
| Is III Il hifectlon contrary to the motion OF
Inc sea. The third motion of the sea is the
"de' winch ls regular swell of the ocean
every l@3 hours. This motion is now as
cerralned to be owing to the attractive in
nnsnce OF the moon, and also partly to that
! OF the sun. There is always a flux and
IenuX at The same time in two parts of the
giooe, and these are opposite to each 9TH
CT SO that, when our antipodes have hirh
water we have the same. When the at
tractlve powers of the sun and moon act in
tne same direction, which happens at the
Tune of new and full moon, we have the
highest, or spring tides but when their at
.iactioh is opposed to each other, which
happens at the quarters, we have the low
est, or neGp tides.
Such is tlie ocean, a most stdpen5ous
scene OF Omnipotence, which forms the
most magnificent feature of the globe we
inhablt. When we stand on the sea shore.
ana cast our eyes over the expanse of its
waters, till the sky and the waves seem to
mingle, all that the eye can take in one
survey, Is but an inconsiderable speck, less
IMAM the one hundred thousandth part of
tne whole OF this vast abyss. If every droD
OF water can be divided into 26 millions of
distlnct parts, as some philosophers have
demonstrated, what an immense assem-
blage of watery particles must be contain
ed In the unfathomable caverns of the
ocean Here the powers of calculation
are completely set at defiance: and an i'm
age OF lnfnlty, immensely, and endless du-
ration, Is presented to the mind. This
mighty eXpanse of waters is the Grand re-
serVolr OF nature, and the source of evano-
ration, which enrichcs the earth with fer
Unity and verdure. Every cloud which
noats IN the atmosphere, and every foun-
tam and rlvulet and flowing stream, are in
oebted to this inexhaustible source for
nose WGtery treasures which thev distrib-
cte through every region of the land. In

rearing Its tremendous pillows in the midst

LAPLAND.

The mountain Lap is, for the most rart.
wild and savage, both in appearance and
habit. There Is q ruggedness about him,
which, if not properly sofened by glass
OF brandy, or present of tobacco, is re-
pulsiye. He takes, however, the gift as a
token Of good intentions, and is then ready
and willing to perform any service within
his power. His costume is sufficiently
like his neighbour, the bear-what nature
does for one, q very rude kind OF art does
for the other. The husk is considerable
thicker than the kernel. The Lap is prin-
cipally clothed in rein deer fur; leather
and woollen are resorted to, to supply the
interstices. With linen, Laplanders are
totally unacquainted. Stockings they have
none the women thrust soft dried grass
into their shoes, and for the more effectual
exclusion of the cold, wear breecheS.
The Laplanders generally are diulinu-
tive race, though it is remarkable that the
more northern tribes exceed in stature
those of the south. The average height of
the mountain Laps may be considered
from FIVE feet to five feet two inches.
They are meagre and bony. Their mode
of life makes them hardy and active. They
are constantly subject to every species of
deprivation, and in seasons of plenty make
up for former deficiencies by excessive
indulgence. A Lap, who has been with
out food some time, can devour the most
stupendous pile Of food, which will last him,
as it ought, for several days, if he should
be exposed to any sudden extremity. The
number of deer belonging to herd is
from three to FIVE hundred. With them a
Laplander can do we'll, and live in tolera-
bic comfort. In summer they supply him
a stock of cheese for the winter, and he
can also afford to kill deer enough to sup
ply his iumily constantly with venison.
Should he possess but one hundred deer
his subsistence is very precarious, and with
fifty only he generally Joins some other herd
Should any calamity deprive him of his
deer altogether, he descends in life-ioins
the inhabltant Of the coast the shore Lap
lander, whom he considers an inferior
being, and lives by fishing, until he can
recover his deer.
1t is singular, that rich as is the rein deer
milk, the cheese made from it is extremely
hard and disagreeable. Bread is thing
totally unknown. They set much value or
the blood of the rein deer, from which
they procure q variety of dishes, taking
care always to preserve it when the ami
NAL is killing. In this country, and We
believe generally elsewhere, u strong pre-
judice exists against consuming blood al
an article of food. 1t is however done ii
two instanc es-the blood ofthe pig is dress
ed in the shape of black buildings, and thu
, blood of geese in the north of England i
baked in pies formed from the giblets c
the bird. Laps hold the blood of the rel
: deer peculiarly wholesome anti scorbntiC
: Were the blood of the OK proposed as a
r article of subsistence here, though til
c saving might be great, the propositic
5 would doubtless be thought very shockin

WESTERN STATES.

The unparalleled increase of population
in the West-the mildpess of the climate,
and fertility of the soil, have long attracted
the attention and admiration of our Eastern
neighbors. Since the beginning of the
present century, the tide of emigration has
silently poured its thousands into the bosom
of the wilderness. The forest has disap-
peared under the blows of the sturdy back
woodsman, and gay villages and tiled
fields have arose on every side to break the
long chain of savage life, and to establish
in its place the social and peaceful habits
Of civilization.
The six western States were settled at
different periods. The French made the
first settlement at Vincennes, IN Indiana,
as early as 1880. Illinois was next settled
by the French at Kasksskia and Cahokia
in 1856. The first permanent settlement
in Missouri was made IN 1903, by the
French of Kaskaskia and st. Philips, at St.
Genevieve and Bourbon. Kentucky, then
Il part of Virginia, was settled in 1913, by
Col Daniel Boone. Tennessee, attached ut
that time to North Carolina, was settled
about the year 1775. Ohio was the last OF
the Western States i'll point of settlement.
A company emigrated to it from New
England in 1888: and formed the first reg
usr settlement at Marietta in the spring of
that year
The population of the Western States in
1900, may be stated in round numbers, at
$4,000. In 1920, the population amounted
to ,s37 goo, giving an increase unparallel-
ed in the annals of any country, of more
than 1,450,000 inhabitants in 20 years
nearly .foayoH. The population of the
Western States at the present time must
be near 2,50O,O00. They contain 270,C0C
square miles. At the last census the aver
age wanted q fraction of being Sewn per
sons to square mile. This average
speaks volume concerning the population
the Western States at future period may
contain. From the fertility Of their soil
they are capable without being burtheueC
with an excess, Of supporting population
Of $50 persons to the square mile. Thu
statement is far from being in excess

of 17S persons to the square mlle-Grea
