of which was, Bro. W. S. Petty writes, "fou
new members, four or five petitions, and otf

s- When N,ooleon was leading the ar

nT- When Napoleon was leading the ar
mics of France over the deserts of Egypt, to
advance upon the City of Cairo, the soldiers
when they came in sight of the Pyramids
those gigantic monuments of the folly and
power Of former 1ges-paused, awe stricken
and ~astonished as they gazed for the first
time upon those mighty monuments of "A gen
Grafton that had so long slumbered with the
dead. Napoleon seizing the opportunity,
rode before the troops and with a countenance
glowing with animation, pointed to the sum-
mits then glittering in the rays of the rising
sun, and exclaimed: "Suldiers, from the
summit Of those pyramids forty centuries
look down upon you" The suggestion was
worthy the occasion, and 10 doubt had its
| full effect In kindlinr that Enthusiasm which
sustained them In the fearful battle scene,
and contributed to the decisive victory which
they won. Now he who would excite to gen
erous effort in this day need never point to
any monumental piles of stone erected by the
monarc IS Of past ages to stimulate us to ex.
%ertion, but from every battlefield where the
banner OF liberty has been unfurled, whether
success or defeat has been the lotto its friends
every sacrifice made in the great cause of hu
manity-every effort Of duty, every sacrifice
OF patriotism every generous purpose thai
has ever been put forth in rehalf of the
great cause of temperance, are so many
monuments erected in all the past, from
which the good and true in all the ages tina
have gone, are looking down upon the men o
this generation, and melting us by all thu
memories of the past and all the hvpes of TIT
future, to be true and faithful to the duties
which devolse upon US in this day when We
are called upon to act our part upon the thea
tire Of life.

Our Homes.

WOMAN is the cornerstone of our homes
her virtue their pillar and strength. Our
homes are sacred because Of her who yields
them their chief attraction. Without her
our homes would be novels of savageness
and their inmates unrefned. The word,
Home, strikes a pleasant and a sacred chord
in the bosom of him who has wandered far
away, and he longs for the shadow Of the
trees that shelter it. The trees the moss
grown well; all become his Mecca towards
which the eye turns and pleasant thou hts
linger. Home! sacred home.
Let our temples fall to dust-let our boast
ing capitols crumble-let the demon of IA
naticism tear asunder our glorious and blood
cemented cunfederacy, but spare, Oh /! spare
our homes Let no infdel, Mormon o. So
%cialist invade their s%anctity with his loath-
some presence or mad schemes of commu-
NIFTY. Man did not invent our hcmes-he
has no patent right upon them-he made nos
neither can he annul. ..Our Father in
Heaven" instituted our homes-Ie planned
the first on earth, a beautiful, vine chad.
hN'NA POAAuu1td HOIlc away III DflgHG EEIeD-
There he placed the prize work Of his hands
and bid them live and love. God gave US
the holiness of home, then, 0 /! spare them.
Is it humble and poor? NevoT pind the
rough deal or the uncouth tkatch shelters,
two hearts dearer to each other than the gold
of Ophir and the rubies of eastern rivers /;
the profane eyes of the prying are shut out
from its secrets and its quiet teaches those
who grow up therein that mother is a peeu-
liar and sacred Name. HANDLE though it
may be, yet it is home, and here the world
obtains its best thosgkts and most holy les
sons. Home is the great fountain-here
Church and State must come for their les
sons Of piety and oracles of wisdom. Hon @
is the seat Of love and its sweets brighten
our faith in an infinite goodness ; its purity
and sanetity gives US a ~foretaste and an
earnest of a better word-a home-"a house
net made with hands"
