Ter purpose than to put the nation in pos
session of this knowledge of their true
character,
Now for few words concerning 'sspir-
itual wifery" among the Mormons. Mr.
Snow somewhat naively says
True. what the world are pleased to
call "Polygamy," exists to some extent in
Utah, not however as a civa institution of
the Territory, nor will it be recognized in
the State, if so be State is granted; but
purely as sacred religious institution, to
which only the pure and virtuous can be
admittel.''
two hundred wives, please notice, is drawn
fE from the invisible soorldi 1t rests on
revelations from the unseen! That is
the source whence the authority for the
"spiritual free love- practice is drawn. 1t
has be.n most fruitful source of evil,
fanati:ism, bigotry and persecution from
the earlier ages of the world. And, mark
you, Mr. E litor, what nose of rar this
INVISIBLE REGION is-how easily any fa-
natic may draw AUTHORITY from it for. any
at he wishes to commit The Mormon
elders tel the Mormon maidens, 'sThere
are multitudess of spirits waiting to take
mortal bodies in you, and the poor spirits
are unhappy until you become motherp'
SO the SpiTitualist. tease reported in the
Daily Herald of January 10, under the
h,a of "Free Love and Tar and Feath-
ers, says to meiium, ''you must be
my wife, because l have hal revelation
that the spirit of my deceased spouse has
come back and taken possession of your
body!" ~
Let it be inscribed upon the broad heav-
ems in letters of living fire, that all the
authority for. "spiritnal free love-" Nor
mon polygamy, and the worst forms of ia
naticism, is drawn from the dark, an
known, invisible, imaginary ,rorld'
OF course, no '.civii institution could
recognize such authority, no more. than
they could summon spirits to testify in
courts of justice. Hence Mornons may
well say, that polygamy is not to be al
lowed outside Of the church! But what a
farce to call such practices ga sacred re-
igious institution, to which the Mormons
only ''are to be admittedr'
Finally, l conclude that Spiritualism
and Mormonism will, on the whole, sub
serve some good purpose in this way--they
set men to thinking. and show, by many
sad examples, the dangers and evils in ta-
king revelations from the incisiJle morld,
as authority for our actions.

What to Sow i'm a Hot-Bed.

II three light frame, of about six feet
in width and twelve feet long, one light can
be appropriated to the seed of early vegeta-
bles. Two feet square each, of the follow
ing. will be sufficient for moderate Aked
family. For the first sowing, Early Paris
caulihowers; Early York or Early Wm-
aingstadt cabbage, the latter is the best
carly cabbage we have tasted. Purple egg
plant, tomatoes, white solid celery, few
peppers if wanted. One whole light can
be sown with Early Cabbage lettuce, and
one with Scarlet Short Top or Early Oval
radish. The radish seed should be COW
cred about half an inch, the others not more
than quarter of an inch. When sown,
pat the soil down gently with the back of
the spade; and give gentle watering
The lights should then be laid on and COW
cred with manure until the seeds begin to
vegetate, when they must be uncovered in
the day time and covered at night. Should
there be much steam rising, little air
must be given all night. Shortly after
wards, it will be time to SOW a few cucum-
Der seeds under the centre of each SASH
If three seeds grow in each, it will be
enough. When the cucumbers have made
their third rough leaf, the top should be
pinched out to make them branch, and the
other things in the frame Immediately
around them should be pulled up and used
first. ...s
The temperature should be from 60 to
60 degrees. by night, and from - to so
degrees, by day Give air in all mild days,
and cover up at night. Should the heat
decline too much. lining of fresh manure,
eighteen inches thick, should be applied all
around the frame, within six inches of the
top, and then covered with barrels. Wa
ter when the earth looks dry, with water q
few degrees warmer than the atmosphere
of the bed-say about so degs. ANY rank
steam, from the manure in the frame, must
be carefully guarded against; for if it come
in contact with any of the young plants,
they will be destroyed in one night: but it
is easily smelt, and can be guarded against
by leaving little air all night, and hang
ing thin mat over the opening to prevent

panles the report, and also tabular state
ments of the amounts of interest paid.
We extract from the report a suggestion
made to the Legislature to have the acts
| of the State Agent more carefully guard
led,
L desire to call the attention of the Leg
islature to one fact in connection with the
Agency, which in my judgement ought not
to be overlooked Under the law as it now
stands, there is nothing but the oath, the
official bond and honesty of the Agent, to
prevent him from issuing any amount OF
stock he may desire, and should he at any
time be tempted, he might, by an over is
sue, render the State liable for thousands
of dollars for which she would never have
received one cent Aside from this, the
Agency. as the matter now stands, is liza
bic to the charge of having over issued at
any time An unscrupulous stock jobber
may, for his own purposes see proper to
make it, thus creating distrust In the midst
of those interested as stockholders, and cast
odium on the Agent, however trustworthy
and honest he may be. This, l think,
should be obviated by simply. creating a
registry, by which it shall be made the du-
ty of some one to countersign and register
each certificate after itpasses out ofthe hands
of the Agent before it shall become valid.
This would, as matter of course. be at
tended with slight additional expense, but
this expenditure would, in my opinion. be
economy on the part of the State when
compared with the risk she runs by leav-
ing the matter open as it now stands.
The expenses of the Agency as compared
to what they were prior to 1880, are light,
as shown by the following statement
The Auditor of State reported the expen-
ses of the Agency from Feb. 1st, 1S4S. to
Oct 1st, lS49, to be S19,60S 90, from
which may be deducted for Agents salary
for second year 81 900, leaving the incl
dental expenses, 5lS,60s 90, for one year

day of December, 1858, to the LIST of No

if very hot, let in little air at the back of

ENocH WOOD.


Not long since, correspondent ofthe Bos-
ton Traveller, writing from Assyria, stated
that M. Place and some other French sa.
vans had discovered the remains of the
Tower of Babel. This took the newspaper
world by surprise, and gave occasion for
some very fine writing and some learned
remarks. But the editor of the Buffalo
Aduertiser, in a fit of wanton malice. has
spoiled the whole story at blow, and
sunk the famous Tower again beyond hope
of resurrection The following extract
from that paper is specimen of the malice
prepcnse with which good story has been
spoiled: ~ W -
AS the Bible omits to tell how high the
ambitious b1ilders carried that celebrated
Tower before their tongues were confused,
the religious will be duly grateful to Mr..
Place and his companions for the infor-
nation that they had completed "eight sto-
rics" of the gigantic structure. This ,ex-
cites suspicion, not only because the Bible
narration seems to convey th. Impression
that they were confounded at an early stage
of the undertaking, the object being to pre-
vent their building very tall structure, but
also because it must have required prodig-
lous discernment to ascertain that there
were eight stories, after the six ones had
fallen and crumbled into dust. We are
puzzled to guess how this marvellous
secret was found out.
But we are even moro astonishcd to
learn how perfectly those proud old build
