and that her husband was, to use Il west
| ern expression, an 'ornary cuSs;' in which
sentiment all who knew him joined. Peo-
pie were getting very tired of Brigham
when MormaDlsm turned up. He was
just the man for religion seemed ex-
pressly adapted to him. He became a
convert, held neighborhood meetings,
ranted howled his doctrines into the
minds Of others as weak as himself, and
finally went WEST with the rest of them,
where he has developed his powers until
the poor, miserable, rustic Ioafer is Cover
nor OF Territory, and chief prophet Of
great religious sect. He has just the mix
ture of cunning and folly which is requir-
ed for success in fanaticism or quackery.
A wiser man could not hold his place.
A man must be half fool and half knaye
to be successful quack.
IIeber G. Kimball was a man of more
respectability. He was born fanatic,
and if he were not Mormon, would be
something else just like it. In his church
he was Baptist originaIly-he was one
of those pestiIent fellows who want re-
solutions passed at church meetings with
holding fellowship from somebody else
and Insist on having a political codeciI
added to the Bible. We believe be had
some property. He has much more talent
than Brigham Young, but is inferior to
him in the elements of quackery. He
has very respectable relatives now living
IN the part ofMonroe county from which |
he started.

DoestEcks In BOSTON.

The famous 'Doesticks' has furnished
the New York Picayune an account of his
visit to Boston, from which the following
extracts are made:
Nlnety~nine extra-sized angle-worns,
Ioco-moting at high pressure speed about
a garden-w walk of showery afternoon, and
being perpetually turned back when they
get to the edge, and compelled to cross
each others trail in innumerabIe direc-
tions, would, if the ground were soft and
their every foot-step plainly visible, draw
on the garden-walk aforesaid a tolerabIy
accurate map of the city of Boston. II is
crookeder than nine acres of rams horns,
and has got more corners than cord of
cross-cut saws. s
You see your friend, and you call OUT
Jones, wait minute and you start to
see Jones, thinking he is just across the
street.
Misguided man! far-dstant Jones! You
climb nine hills, and turn ninety corners
before you get within haiIing distance of
Jones rgain
The streets look as if they had been
made somewhere else, and dumped here
in huge tangle, and nobody had ever
taken the trouble to straighten them out
again. 1t looks as if somebody had been
building lot of cities by contract, and
the job hadn't come out even, and he had
thrown down his remnants of streets, and
odd ends of alleys, and little shipped off
bits of lanes and avenues, and called it
Boston. lfany street in the town should
be cut straight mile in any direction, it
would go through dozen private parlors
and forty five public music halls. In fact,
Boston looks as if first-rate material for
an excellent city had been melted and
poured through seive on side hill, and
left to cool.

A Thrilling Scene.

Returning from visit to New Or
leans we were fortunate enough to Sc
cure passage in line steamer with but
few passengers. Among the ladies,
one especially interested us. She was
the widow of a wealthy planter and
was returning with only one child to
her fathers house. Her devotion to
the child was very touching and the
eyes of her old black nurse would FIJI
with tears as she besought her mistress
"not 70 love that boy too much, or the
Lord would take him away from her."
We passed through the canal at Lou
isville, and stopped few moments at
the wharf, when the nurse wishing TO
see the back of the boat, where, by
sudden effort, the child Sprang from
her arms into the terrible current that
sweeps towards the falls, and disap>
peared Immediately. The confusion
which ensued attracted the attention
Of a gentleman who was sitting in the
front part of the boat, quietly reading.
Rising hastily, he asked for some arti-
Gle the child had worn. The nurse
handed him tiny apron she had torn
off in her efforts TO retain the babe in
her arms. Turning to splendid New
foundland dog, that was eagerly watch
ing his countenance, he pointed first
to the apron, and then to thespot where
the child had gone under. In an in-
slant the noble dog leaped into the
rushing water, and also disappeared
BY this time the excitement was in>
tense, and some persons on shore sup
posing that the dog was lost as well as
the child, procured a boat and started
off in search for the body. Just at this
moment the dog was seen far away
with something in his mouth. Brave.
ly he struggled with the waves, but i /
was evident that his strength was fas
failing, and more than one breast gave
a sigh of relief as the boat reached hin
and it was announced that he had ths
child, and it was still alive. They
were brought on board the dog anl
the child:
Giving a single glance to satisfy he'-
self that the child was really living,
the young mother rushed forward, ard
sinking beside the dog, threw her arms
around his neck and burst into teas.
Not many could view the sight ua~
moved, and, as she caressed and kiss
ed bis shaggy head, she looked upto
his owner and said.
ooh, / must have this dog! ! am
rich; take all / everything but
give me my child's preserver.'
The gentleman smiled, and pattng
his dogs head, said.
~ am very glad, madam, he has
been Of service to you, but nothing in
the world could induce me to part with
him.
The dog looked as though he PER-
fectly understood what they were talk
ing about, and giving his sides shake
laid himself down at his masters feet,
with an expression in his large eyes
that said palmer than words--"No!
shall part US.
