A WARN RECEPTION PROMISED.

The day will be, and it will not be many
years neither; it will be about the time the
United States want to send a sufficient force
here; about the time they will get into the
hottest times will be about that time. They
will persecute Us all the time the same as
JOseph's brethren did Joseph in Egypt
they whipped him and threw him into pit,
Nd they thought Of killing him, but Judah
Feyailed and saved him, and they took him
q sold him as slave, and he obtained
elor in the eyes Of the king, and finally
held dominion over that whole kingdom,
and reared the Kingdom and raised grain
previous to the famine, and saved aud re-
deemed his whole fathers house and mil
lions Of others, aud everything had to bow
DOWN to the power of Joseph. AS true as
mat thing is true, so true it will be that
our enemies will have to bow down to us,
and we may do the best we can to store up
aOres, and it is all we can do before they
WI come bending unto us. And the Pres
hent Of the United States will bow 10 as,
and come to consult the authorities of this
church to know what be had best do for his
ROple.-Heber C. HimbaH.

PRIvATE FORTUNES OF GREAT p PERsoNAGEs.
-Cresus possessed, in landed property, a
fortune equal to Rl, 1OO,O 900, besides large
amount Of money, slaves, and furniture,
which amounted to an equal sum. He
used to say that citizen who had not a
sufficient sum to support an army, or ale-
gion, did not deserve the title of rich man
The philosopher Seneca had a fortune of
.G3, 500, 900, Tiberius, at bis death, left
923, 1924, 900, which Caligula spent in less
than twelve months. Vespasian, on as
scending the throne, estimated all the
currant expenses Of the State at nearly
G35 100000. The debts Of Milo amount
ed to 100000. Cesar, before he entered
upon any Office, owed R2,095, 900. He
had purchased the friendship Of Curio for
R50O, aud that Of Lucius Paulus for $780,
900. At the time Of the assassination Of
Julius Caesar, Antony was in debt to the
amount Of $4,000, 900; he owed this sum
on the idss Of March, and 1t was paid BY
the kalends Of April; he squandsrsd el47..

CUTTING OFF THE SUPPLIES.

We must die like the Irishman, and then
we shall do well enough. An old parson
was riding along one day, and met with an
Irishmdn, and said: "Sir, have you made
your peace with God?" Pat replied: Faith
an I've never had falin' out!" The par.
son seemed very much surprised at the an
swer, and pousIyNsaid "You are lost, you
are lost" The Irishman quantity answer
ed: Faith, an how can be lost right in
the middle OF great big turnpike?" The
moral which l wish to deduce from this is,
that, if we have not had falling out with
our God, we are in the middle of the great
turnpike.
They may cut off our supplies of tobacco
and tea Voice: "What pityp] Why,
bless you, there are young men in Isreal
who would suffer far more, If deprived Of
their tobacco, than the ladies would if their
ribbons had to be stripped off right in the
public meeting; and therefore advise.them
to go to work and plant tobacco-for, if
they were deprived Of it, it would take
away their peace and happiness, and they
could not nasty and beSmear everything

A NEW INTERPRETATION OF voX PorrLI, ETC
When we talk about the Constitution Of
the United States, we are sometimes apt
to quote, ''vox PoPULI, vox DIE" that is,
the voice of the people is the voice of God
but in some places they ought to say vox
PoPULI, vox DIABoI; that is, the voice Of
the people is the voice Of the devil.
We are moved by II higher law. They
talk sometimes about higher law in the

about higher law, which means, with him,
