time, and could not make much by selling land
at auction, even if he employed Boston auc-
tioneer. All the foregoing happened in April of
the present year.
About the first of May, another stranger call
ed upon the same auctioneer, and said he had
beautiful place in Maiden near Saugus, to sell
by auction. The auctioneer said he had come
down that way and he did not care to risk his
hard-earned reputation and his time by again
visiting Maiden professionally. The stranger
was in earnest he described the place and gave
the name of the previous owner, when it came
out that the auclioneer was second time called
upon to sell what he facetiously calls the 81
farm. The auctioncer decided Mt first to have
nothing to do with the matter. The new own
er was a man of progress, not an old fogy. tie
said to the auctioneer, want your services as
auctioneer. and authorize you 10 spend not ex-
ceeding 5000, in procuring plans and in proper
ly placing before the people this valuable piece
of property, for valuable know it to be.
The auctioneer and the owner the following
day visited the spot, and n few days afterwards
beautiful liihographic plan of the farm was
placed upon our table, and in the commercial
papers and nearly all of the other dalies ap-
peared one of the most brilliant ard attractive
advertisements for which Mr. Walker is so cele-
braed, setting forth in truthful terms tile advan-
tages of the location about to be sold by him at
auction. The day of sale arrived, nearly thou
sand persons attended, every lot was sold the
aggregate amount. of which was near twelve
thousand dollars the operation yielding the own
er net profit of something over $4,000, after
paying the usual commission to the auclioneer
and all the other charges. Every one was pleas
ed with his purchase and several new houses
are now being built .pon the premises, all of
which may be seen as the passengers pass along
by railroad.
Judicious advertising and a proper expendi-
ture always result favoraby; old fogies will
take warning from the fate of the man who did
not advertise

THE MORMONS.

We quote from The London Times m account
of the trial of Scotcliman indicted for disturb
inga meeting of Mormons, or Latter-Day-Saints,
in London. The defence was, the meeting was
called for immoral and impious purposes. The
London Times thinks the Court erred in finding
the prisoner guilty. 1t says:
"We do not propose that 4 man shall be per-
secuted because he is Mormonite, but we SUBJ
nit to the good sense of the country that he
should not be entitled to call himself I" Pro-
testant dissenter," and as such to claim rights
and privileges which were intended for ot"ers.
We should be grieved, indeed, TO see the great
principle of religious federation infringed, but
are we, under the name OF religious federation,
to sanction and protect assembages of parsons
gathered together for; the purpose of setting
Christianity de6afes, turning lis doctrines into
ridcule, and bring Practice into cont tempt?
q
of the Church of England, as by law establish
ed,in any peculiar manner If we are not sup
ported by the common opinion ofEnglish church
men of Protestant dissenters of every form, OF
Roman Catholics, of Unilarans and others, be-
ing the Queens subjects, let our words go for
nothing. We are pleading The cause of religion
against blasphemy-of reason against Beldam
-and decline ut once entering into the consld-
eraliun of any analogy which all expert casuist
might suggest between the situation of Roman
Catholic minorities in Protestant countries, or
uice rersa, and of the Mormonites in Christian
England If man does not see the profound
absurdily and wickeduess OF n recognition on
the part of the State of the Mormoniles" as IL
sect of Protestant dissenters, We will not trou-
bic him with more on the subject
"These men call themselves Christians, it is
true; but, at the same time, they proclaim that
the Christian dispensalion has been superseded
by the Mormonite Bible-Christ has been de-
throned, and Joe Smith, the Yankee swindler,
reigns in his place Nor do they leave the ques-
ton simply as one of theory. Their rules of
practice-such as the one which provides for a
plurality of wives-most certainly disentlle
them to the protection of any orderly and de-
cent community"
