PorPINa THE QUEsTIoN.--Jcdediah Hodge
was dead in7Iove with the beauteous Sally
Hammond, but owing to an unconquera-
bic feeling Of dffidence, he had never been
able to screw W his courage to the sick
ing point absolutely reqUisit2to enable him
TO inform her of his prediction. Three
several times he had dressed up in his
Sunday go-to-meeting-fxins,' and made
his way to her father house, determined
this time to do OF die. But, unluckily,
his courage oozed away, and became
small by degrees and beautifully less as
the politicians say, till, when he was fairly
IN her presence, he was barely able to re
mark that its was a warm evening. Sally
got tired 1T ielgth of this ofteeiterated OBJ
sorvation, and resolved to help him out of
his predicament, for, like true woman, -,
she had not failed to perceive what Jedediah
was trying to come at, but could mt. For
the fourth time Jedediah came, but did not
succeed any better, Sally commenced
her attack by informing him that Mary
Somers, an intimate friend, was going to
be married.
You don't say so,' said, Jedediah, that
being h. only idea chat occurred to him, ,ex-
cept one, and that he di1n'tdare give utter
ance to.
Yes said Sally, she's going to be mar
red next week. 1t seems rather queer that
she should be married before Inc, con
si'tering she's year younger
Jedeliah's heart leaped up in his throat
but he didn't venture to say anything.
There was pause.
'Jedediah, resumed Sally. after little
hesitation, Ill tell you something, if you'll
promise certain true that you won't never
tell anybody
No WON'T said Jedediah, stoutly,
proud of the confidence reposed in him.
1T isn't tmuch, after all, said Sally, cas-
ting down her eyes 'only dream, and |
don't know wheathcr ought to tell you,
after all, though, to be sure thero was some
thing about you in it,
DO tell me- pleaded Jedeliah, his Gu
riosity overcoming his bashfulness in a
degree. q
But am afraid you'll tell after ALL
No, | won't certain true. Ihope may
be horsewhippel if do
'Ihen--don't look at me, Jedediah, or
| can't tell it dreamed that-that that
you and were goingt to be married the day
before Mary Soners!
Jededith started as if struck by n shock
troma galvanic battery, and sh outed enthu.
siastica!ly--
so we will, by gosh! if you'll ouly say
the word ?
OF course Sally was astonished at this
sudden application Of her dream, and could
not believe he was in earnest. AT length
she yielded her consent, and her dream was
verified at the altar in less than week.
Ladies that have bashful loves, take
heed

Woo1NG MORMON Wlys.-The Mormon
editor Of the Desert News thus tells the
good people Of Christendom how strangers
can become ingratiated into the rites and
mysteries of that Sect
If a gentleman wishes to associate with
our females, let him repent and be bap-
tized for the remission of sins. But this
alone will not insure his success, for many
have submitted themselves to the ordi-
nance o. baptism, and having added dam
nation to themselves, by hypocrticA!v
bowling to ceI tain rites aud ceremonies with
motives other than to gloriiy God and to
save themselves from this untoward gene1
alton. Let these go forth and preach the
gospel to the nations like the Mormon el-
ders, without purse or script Let them
be mobbed, tarred and feathered, and whip
ped a few times for Christ sake, and not
for their own follies; and return, after few
years labor, clear in concience, pure in
heart, and unspotted from the world. If
they can do these things, and endure they
may begin to associate with our females,
and seek among them a companion and
partner for the lite that now is and for that
which is to come

TEACHING A DEACON.

A Wisconsin gentleman, who resides in
the town Of Elmore, Mequango county, ia,
as he describes himself, very rnsartaia in
politics. any besides that, is the most un-
sGrtain practical joker we wot Of. late.--
Here is one Of his jokes, highly amusing.
though but for his fearlessness of church,
etc.. it might have proved serious and an
profitable to the joker.
The gentleman was in his store on Sun.
day morning. preparing for the duties of
the day, when the deacon entered. An
unfortunate pack of cards was lying on the
counter, and the deacon. as in duty bound.
demonstrated with the joker on the vii
lainous practice. The latter admitted that
It was at least an idle waste of tine, and
tsking 1.-The cards in his hand, MOI aliz u
on the subject just as well aud warmly As
the deacon. Atthe same time, he allo red
few cards to fall here, and there, in the
shape of tricks, and looking as if the two
had really been taking hand
AT this junctnre, another member Of
the church came in--(the Post Office was
IN the store and all at once the Joker
placing his finger on a couple of cards on
the counter, exclaimed.
Now, deacon, l tell you this won't do.
The queen always takes the jack, and the
ten the nine, and so down, and if you don't
attend you will never learn the game
That jack is good card, but my queen
takes it, SO it counts me one point, besides
one on count for game
Why, neighbor. exclaimed the horrifed
deacon, what do you mean by that q
Exactly what Isay,' was the reply
the queen takes the jack, and its mine
you'might have trumped with it, and saved
long ago now this jack with low, game
puts me out
At this moment the gentleman from
Mequango county turning round, pretend
ed for the first time to notice the brother
deacon who had entered, looked confused
dropped the cards and vanished.
Of course the deacon was caught. The
horrible tale was told of his having been
caught playing cards on Sunday. He
was cited to appear before the church, for
his backsliding, and as the evidence was
complete, would have been convicted and
severely punished, in spite of all his pro-
testations of innocence, had not our ac-
quaintance of the town of Elmore made
his appearance in the nick of time, as a
witness in favor of the deacon, told round,
unvarnishedta tale, and procured for him an
acquittal.
tits said, to this day, the deacon has an
increasing horror cf cards, though he feels q
convfction, that the 'quecn viii tako the.
jack, and that thejack can take the deacon;
yet he has an utter aversion to giving his
high, low, Jack.
