is to be shaken to its foundation stone,
and the earthquake Is to be one more
DISASTROUS to the interests of the race
the order and harmony of civilized
society, than any mere physical con-
vulsion in the bowels of earth, could
possibly be. The revolution is to be
one Of spiritual MISUNDERSTANDING
to the mind, and already has it gained
sufficient strength, TO bid defiance to
law and order, and threatens to exter-
inmate the present order of things
The Mormons--or 'Latter Day Saints"
as they profanely call themselves, have
planted the seeds for the earthquake
in the very heart of our Western Ter
ritory, and with their missionaries in
the Old World, they are rapidly pros
elyting the ignorant and benighted,
who flock ia thousands--to what they
call the New Jerusalem in Utah. In
Great Britain and Germany the stand
ard OF these mercenary mountebanks,
is fiocked to, and some of the agri-
cultural districts well nigh depopula-
ted. Men leave their plough handles
and without bidding adieu to their
families or friends, go off singing the
New Jerusalem songs of the Latter
Day Saints--par excellence! "The
South Sea Bubble" and "the Missis-
sippi Scheme" dwindle away into
insignifcance, before this stnpendous
humbug. Joe Smith and Bill Rig
don are cannonized as Saints, and
their memories venerated and wcr-
shipped as the Patriarchs, Saints and
Martyrs. In Saxony we are told the,
have succeeded in forming a society
of adherents in the city of Dresden,
carefully avoiding any collision with
the police, who are ever ON the alert
for new religious sects, suspecting ev-
cry new doctrine to be mere cloak
for some political plot The apostles
seem to have plenty of funds at their
command, apparently derived from
England, with which they assist the
needy among their proselytes. All
through Germany they are making
preparations to leave for the New Je-
rusalem on The Great Salt Lake.
Does it not behoove the citizens of
this nation, to look about and devise
some means of putting an end to this
abomination apparently justified by
old Testament doctrines? Shall we
consent to the doctrine (broad spread
over the eartbl engraven ON the BAN
ners Of mis-called Democracy-that
liberty means 'license," and that all
the barriers of decency as well as Or
der in society, should be torn down, in
order to permit the barbara revelry Of
Goth and Vandal within our Halls?
If SO, the day is near by, when every
virtue will be proclaimed vice
when the marriage bond, which binds
lis in love to the Great Author of Love,
will be rent in sunder, and man turned
loose again, to crafty without re-
straint his animal propensities--all the
arts and science Of the present hour,
will be buried in the wreck.

We mention the matter now, so that
the Hon. Kitchfitch will not have a

is to be distinctly understood by the
council. 1t is astonishing that the
public press, in the baroness of its

into like folly. l, too, wanderd last night over
yonder mountain, to seek the flower so much
desired. And found indeed fower-more
wondrous and more lovely than ever dreamed
of A flower fain would win to myself, and

Roswitha blushed as she saw how closeley the
stranger had followed her, more deeply at his
words. Her parents saluted him courteously
but when he announced his name as Oswald
Count Won Belten, the face of the old man
frightened, and he warmly grasped his hand.
Thy father and ], he cried, were fellow
soldiers. Hast thou never heard him speak Of
Fabian I!
Often,' answered the Count, have
heard him tell how the timely succor of Fabian,
his brave comrad,, saved him from defeat, per-
haps from death. He thinks you dead but
you shall 60 to him, and talk over the days Of
battle. Ands if can persuade your lovely
daughter to go with me also, as my bride, to
Tighten with her presence home that has been

We have no time to dwell on the Counts
wooing. But it sped we'll and when Roswitha
with both her parents, accompanied him to hiI
castle, where his own father lived, they formed
happy household. The story of their wander
ing over the Schalkstein mountain, and tht
finding such unexpected treasure, served otter
to amuse those who came to visit them.
The treasure still remains buried-accordng

From the Home Journal,
Shakspeare's Cordelia.

The ninth volume of the Rev. H. H. Hudson s
edition of Shakespeare contains tho four dramas
of Titus Andronicus, Cymbeline, Perscles and
King Lear; and, like all the preceding VOL
umes, abounds in well-written and carefully ar
ranged introductions to each play, copous foot
notes and references, and is printed in style
credtable to the publishers. In fact, the more
than ordinary value of the book consists in its
voluminous and correct notes of explanation
and illustration. Taken in this lght,it promises
to be the standard American edition-thc most
elaborate aud painfully powerful of all Shaks-
peare's dramas is that of King Lear. No pain
ter ever breathed upon canvas picture SO high
ly wrought, SO superhuman, and yet so earthly,
as the master character of the poor king. From
the introduction to this play we extract the fol-
lowing lakillfal analysis of the mysterious but
lovely Cordelia -
"Mrs. Jameson aptly says Of Cordelia, that
everything in her lies beyond our view and af-
fects us in such manner, that we rather feel

A PosER.-A hoosier of rather scanty
means recently visited this city with introduce
tory letters, for the purpose of buying a consid-
erable amount of goods upon credit. The job

but didn't exactly like to trade
What is the NATTER inquired the buyer.
Nothing particular, was the reply, only we

A Piece of Legal Advice. i.

n EleCe OF Legal ADVICE.
The ancient town of Rennes, in Frame, is q
place famous for law. To visit Rennes without
getting advice of some sort, seems absurd to the
country people round about. 1t happened one
day, that farmer named Bernard, having come
to this town on business, bethought himself that
he had few hours to spare, it would be well to
get the advice of a good lawyer He had heard
often of lawyer Foy, who was in such high
repnte that people believeda lawsuit gained when
he undertook their cause. The countryman went
to the office, and after waiting some time, was
admitted to an interview. He told the lawyer
that having heard so much about him, and hap
pening to be in town, he thought he would call
and consult him.
You wish TO bring an action, perhaps re-
piled the lawyer.
'Oh, no. replied the farmer, { am at peace
with all the world
Then it is settlement of property, that you
want, is itr
Excuse me, Mr. Lawyer, my family and
have never made division, seeing that we draw
from the same we'll, as the saying is
is, then, to get me to negotiate purchase
of sale that you have come
Oh, no, am neither rich enough to purchase
nor poor enough to SELL
'Wlll you tell me, then, what you do want
of me9 said the lawyer in tone of surprise
why, have already told you, MIR. lawyer
