Mr.. John Taylor, M elder In the Mormon
church, who has recently returned TO ST. Louis
from missionary tour in France gives
most encouraging account 10 his friends, of
the spread of the Mormon faith in that coun-
try, aud also in other parts of Europe. The
company of Mormon missionaries who went
out in 1850, have met with great success in
mnking converts and gathering churches. At
alate conference in Paris, 400 persons aiien-
ded- Germany. Sweden, Italy and Swnzcr-
land, had been visited by these missionaries.
and delegation has now gone to Bombay
and Calcutta. The Book of Mormon has
been translated into various languages, and
extensively circulated. In Engand,th Saints
are said to number some 10000, and fifteen.
hundred immigrants will be sent out Of this
country during the present year. A company

A second rule of great value in walking is,
Ihat the body, IF NOT the spiriD must be per-
lectly erect. The whole body must be easily
poised upon lis own gravity, as the beam OF
the scales isupon its own pivot. Then the
various muscles acting upon the bony spine,
and upon the bony levers of the limbs and
chest, will be freed from the Iahor of holding
the body up, for that then will be done by
the happily balanced skeleton, and they, the
muscles, win be ready to move the various
joints as the will Of the individual NAV die
tate. Ordinarily, the walkers throw their
bodies so far from the centre of gravity,
as to compel the muscles to not only bend
the joints in the exercise, but in addition,
actually sustain the whole weight of the
body. The erect position 10 walking is all
important: moi only is il valuable to the cor
poreal system, bur it begels an erect habit in
the mind and the heart. Noperson can walk
with disnified, honorable, and executive
mein without feeling a mental and moral ell
ovation.
AS an aid to this position, the eye should
not strike the ground for many rods in the
distance the sight should run horizontally,
this will prevent the head from dropping,
the trunk from bending, and the joints from
being lax and weak. t.- .r

How to Walk.

Ii is well for US to know how 10 do every
thing well. Walking is one art which we
have to learn as we'll as other things. A
contemporary gives the following rules: "'
Whenever we rise TO walk. the whole
boLy-the trunk. head, and extremiiies--
should be thrown into universal. but gentle
tension all lassitude, bending, dangling Of
the limbs, bending of the trunk, and loose,
irregular gazing should be avoided; this gen.
sral vigor brings all the muscles up to that
state which instantly fits them for action.-
The same rule is practiced hy the whole an
,nal kingdom whenever any extraordinary
effort is required. At The moment Of an af.
fray, every combatnni arouses the whole sys-
ten, prepares the body for the encounter by
giving force, tone, and energy TO the entire
body.
1t is positive injury to the body to exer-
else when it is toneless, lax. nexibe, and

sufficient amount of blood aud nervous

Something over a year since, the people Of a
quiet district Of Wyoming county were startled
with report charging the crime Of theft upon
the wife Of one Of the most esteemed citizens of
the place. What rendered the charge still
more exciting, was the fact that both the accu-
ser and the accused were members of the same
church, and both Of hitherto untainted reputa-
tion. A suit for slander wasthe consequence
but before the trial came on such was the diff
sculty in the way of jus.ifying, and such the
drift of public opinion in favor Of the accused

The Pass. 1t no uncommon idea that
every body who pays his subscription has a
right TO be heard in the columns of a paper.
and some claim the right who don't pay at all.
But The money pays for TIE paper,-it does not
purchase the right 10 use it as a vehicle
through which to address the public. The
Richmond Inquirer very truly says: - .
"The press is only free to its editors, and
to those whom its editors believe TO have good
ground for addressing the public, and some
thing to say which The public has an interest
in hearing. We would recommend those who
labor under this mistake 10 consider the follow
ing fact-ihat newspapers are made for the
large class who read, and not for the small
class who want TO write. The idea that when
man snbscribes to newspaper, he lays its
proprietors under some obligation, or that he
has right 10 publish his communications
therein. with The single proviso that they shall
be inolfeusve, is popular fancy, and most RI
diculous mistake, which ought to be corrected.
Not only has he no such right, but the editor
who permits him to put uninterestihg matter
in his columns, infringes upon The right of
four or five thousand other people TO crafty one
individual Very few editors act so absurdly."

from prospective damages by paying the plain
tiff some forty dollars to discontinue the snit.
Meanwhile, the church took up the matter,
and the accuser, who seemed thus wrongfuly
to charge her sister with SO grave an offence.
On this ecclesiastical trial the accuser adhered
to her original declaration, but, not sustaining
it, was expelled from the communion Of the
church. After this, the accused went before
the Grand Jury and made an earnest endeayor TO
procure an Indictment against her accnser for
perjury. But this failed, and for some time the
position of the parties remained unchanged
the accused justified by The church and the
world, and the accuser eclpsed by, suspi-
cion of perjury, and in disgrace among those
who had been wont 10 love and honor as
brethren and sisters
But suddenly, from some cause not fully
explained, the accused party, after having
triumphed over the accusation and it's auth
or, has confessed the truth of the Charge

On this confession, the husband Of the un-
fortunate woman hastened TO make restitu-

adds, that in this sore affection he is sus-
tained by the sympathy Of all who know the
