The MornlOms.

Hon. JOSIAH Quincy, Jr., OF Boston, de-
Iivered a lecture at Rome, not long since,
upon this most interesting subject. With
reference to the political aspect of the ques.
ton, he said: ~ .. IA ~.
"There could be no question that Utah
must soon apply for admission as State.
To the question whether it would be admit
ted to the Union, with its democratic form
of government and its spiritual wife system
the answer is that by the federal Constitu
ton free toleration is secured to all the peo.
pie in religious opinion, and no States do.
mestic institutions can be questioned or med
died with. 1t would be unsafe for all to vi
olate this principle in ony instance. Let
severely alone, and trusting to the sure pro.
gress OF civilization, and the influence of ed
ucation and experience of the ill-eGects o
polygamy upon the general interest of a
community and the dignity of woman, to op.
en- the eyes of the Mormons and rid them o.
the spiritual bondage which their own igno
rance and the craft of their leaders has i'm
posed upon them, the delusion must pass a
way, and the people be restored to good citi
zenship. Should the system of coercion bt
unfortunately attempted, in that distant coun
try, where the mountains Of Utah affort
them security and a bgoted zeal and thirs
for revenge impels them to resistance, some
Zenghis Khan or Tamarlane may yet eros:
the Mississippi. But such he did not be-
lieve was to be the end of this thing. Nor
monism is destined to pass away, but its his
tory will remain as that of the most success

Effects ofIhe PASSIONS.

Every one knows the influence of the de-
pressing passions on he human frame. A
beaten army has always more sick (cxclu-
sive of the wounded) than a victorious one;
and in civil life, the effect of losses and dis
appointments in destroying the digestion,
and wasting the strongest constitution are
but too familiar to the commonest observer.
But the picture has brighter side.
Hope and success are finer tonics than
any to be found in apothecaries' shops,
and even fear may boast its cures. A Ger
man physician, SO runs the tale, succeeded
in curing an epidemic convulsion among the
children of poor-house, by the fear of red.
hot poker. The fits had spread by sympathy
and invitation; and this great phisician
mistruSting the ordinary remedies in so grave
case, heated his instrument, and threaten.
ed to burn the first who should fall into fill
The CONFUSION did not return.
A celebrated scholar was once attacked
with fever at a small country inn. He
was visited by two physicians; and one OF
them supposing, from the poverty of his ap-
APPEARANCE, that he would not understand a
foreign language, said to the other, in Latin:
"Let's try an experiment on this poor fell
ow." AS soon as they were gone, the pa
tient got out of bed, hurried on his clothes,
scampered off as fast as he could, and was
cured of his fever by fright.
In England, quite recently, a girl being
attacked with typhus fever, was sent to the
hospital. A week afterwards her brother was
seized with the same disease, and was SEM
to the same institution. The nurses were
helping him up stairs at the hospital. On
the way, he was met by some persons who
were decending with coffin on their shoul.
ders. The sick man inquired whose body
they were removing, when one of the bear
ers inadvertently mentioned the girls name.
1t ,oaS his sister. The brother horror-struck
sprung from his conductors, dashed down
stairs, out of the hospital gate, and never
stopped running until he reached home--a
distance of twelve miles! He flung himself
on the bed Immediately, fell into sound
sleep, and, and awoke the next morning en-
tirely cured of his illness.

rontery thus to invade the scaredness Of the
sanctuary. .. --.. ...
"The speaker paused for Q momeut, and
fixed his penetrating gaze full upon the face
Of the questioner. There was an interval
of intense silence, broken at last by the
speak resuming his subject. He had not
proceeded far with his remarks, before he
was again interrupted by the same important
inquiry f...e .r... ....
Again he paused for time, and again re.
sumed his subject. Not contented with a
silent rebuke, our redoubtable questioner
demanded again, "Why don't the preachers
do such things nOw-a-daysP and curling his
lipswith sneer of fself-complacency, drew
himself up pompcUsly in his seat.
"Our reverend friend, (who by the way, is
a young man of great muscular power,
calmly left the desk, and walked deliberate,
ly to the pew, where the interrogator sat
and fastening one hand firmly upon the col
lar of his coat, the other upon the waistbant
OF his "unmentionable," lifted him square
out of the seat, and bore him down the aisle
to the entrance. Pausing for a moment
there, he turned his eyes upon his audience.
and in clear, full voice, said, " and they
cast out devils in the form of diStiler,''
and suiting the action to the word, out went
the knight of the mash-tub, la leap frog
fashion into the street.
"The good pastor quietly returned to his
desk, ard completed his discourse. After
closing the services, as he was passing out
of the church, the outcast distiller, with an
officer of the law, escorted our clerical
friend to the Office of magistrate, to answer
for an assault upon the person of said distil
Ter. After hearing the case, the magistrat,
dismissed the clergyman, and after roundl.
reprmanding the complainant, fined him fo
molesting he services Of the sanctuary.
"Since that day, we believe we have nev
er for a moment doubted the power of Meth
odist preachers to cast out devils, at leas
within the limits of the Ohio Conference.
