How to beget Love.

A shrewd fortune teller, named Inn
ogene III. Lord, at New Orleans, writes
to green and love worn spinster, ma
med Jane Stockton, the following re-
ceipt for love, at cost of one dollar:
A great press of business has pre-
xented your letter being replied to car
lier. The following is the method in
question: The first thing to be done is
to discover whether you have rival or
not in the affections Of the person whom
you wish to secure. If SO, procure
one single hair, pulled from bis head on
Friday; pour rain water on it, and bury
it in oak ashes; then take lock of the
gentleman's hair, cut at the full Of the
moon; if dark, containing just one hum
dred hairs; if light, fifty: bathe it with
your tears four times. Next, take a
lock of your own, cut at new moon; if
dark, containing twenty-four hairs. if
light, thirty. Contrive to get the gen.
tleman to kiss it twice. Lastly, put
the lock of his hair in your right shoe,
and the lock of yours in your left; wear
them thus for three months, taking
them out every night and placing them
under your pillow; using all the time
the gentlest and most winning man.

ton you wish to secure, showing no
jealousy, envy, or anger, and by the
end of that period he will love you

The self-Movins Carriage.

paper, the self-moving car
riage of MIR. Provost. Since that time,
NJ. p. has travelled in it over great
part of France, visiting Tours, Sau-
mer, Orleans, Chatres, Havre and 9TH
er places. He is now in Paris on his
way to Bordeaux. He travels with
ease to himself, for the force employed
is not the muscular strength applied to
pedals or cranks, but the weight of his
person, which puts in movement the
on much the same principle
with the weight Of a clock. On ordi-
nary roads, (thev are Macadamized in
France,) M. Provost travels from sixty
to eighty miles a day. The CARRIAGES

NeyeIEiye On.

Who are our men!--our distinguish
ed men our most useful men! Those
who have been cast down, but not des-
troyed-who when the breeze of adver-
sity swept away their props, sought
new standards-pushed on-looked up
and became what you behold them
now. A glorious sentence and worthy
to be inspired-nevergive itu up: Men
are not made-they make themselves.
A steady perseverance, determine
ton never to sink, though millstones
were hanged about their neck-is the
true doctrine. 1t is this that has made
the wilderness to blossom-that has
given wings to the ocean, filled valleys
l-leveled mountains, and built up great
cities of the worId-Who then is fool,
and yields simpering before the blast!
Who is sucking, and covers before a
cloud! Is it you. young man, stout
and healthy as you arel Shame
shame on you. You are big enough to
possess an iron heart, and to break
down mountains at blow. Up, and
let this be day of your redemption.
Resolve to be fool no longer-even if
you are obliged to stand with a red hot
iron upon your brow-never give up.

Joe Smith divides with the Pope the
assault upon English piety. We read
in a late paper:
"The Mormons have determined on
a great and sytematic attempt to con-
vert England to Mormonism. They
are at this moment adding to their
churches, by adult baptism, 500 disci-
Piles every month. And SO confident
are they that, in fulfllment of Mormon
prophecies, they are about to make mi
raculous progress in Britain, they pro-
pose to hold a great Mormon Confer
ence in the very centre of London, in
the month ef June"
And also in Mormon Journal we
| find:
ain the Swiss Cantons, French, Ger
man, and Italian are spoken. In the
course of a little time, when Elders
Taylor and Snow will have ushered in
to the world the Book of Mormon in
those languages, l believe great work
will be done in Switzerland to the hon.
or and glory of Israel's God. A Ger
tleman, who has been captivated with
Elder Shows writings, has promised
to put them in German as soon as pos
sible."
