HGr An American at Paris went to a res.
taurant to get his dinner. >~Unacquainted
with the French language, yet unwilling to
show his ignorance, he pointed to the first
line on the bill of fare, and the polite wal.
ter brought him a plate of fragrant beef
soup. This was very well, and when it was
dispatched he pointed to the second line
The waiter understood him perfectly and
brought vegetable soup. "Rather more soup
than 1 want" thought he, "but it is Paris
fashion" He duly pointed to the third line,
and a plate of tapioca broth was brought him;
again to the fourth, and was furnished with
a bowl of preparation of arrow root. He
tried the fifth line, and was supplied with
some Cruel kept for invalids. The bystaud-
ers now supposed that they saw an unfortu-
nate individual who had lost all his teeth,
and our friend, determined to get as far
from the soup as possible, pointed in despair
to the last line on the bill of fare. The in
t~elligeut waiter, who saw at once what he
wanted, politely handed him-a bunch of
tooth picks. This was too much-our coun-
tryman paid his bill and incontinently left.

BR1cKBAT's BREv1TIEs.-Mr. Brickbat
can't imagine why everybody is abusing
Brigham Young for carrying Jiganey into
Utah. He doesn't see why they should
make any more fuss about Big Amy than
any of his other wives.
. He wants to know, if the Mormous are
leaving Salt Lake City, who,is Cumming :
He thinks the Mormon difficulties grew
out of the Presidents jealousy, Mr.. Bueh,
auan being indignant that Brigham should
have sizty-fve wives while he didn't have
any.
|. He thinks it nonsense to send an army to
conquer the Mormons when they could be
driven off by a Kane. q.
He wants to take q contract to supply the
Mormon settlement with Mails. He thinks
he could make a little profit (prophet)in the
transaction.
He understands that the saints will re.
main at Salt Lake until the wheat harvest is
gathered. He says the women ought not to
be driven off until they have bre(a)d, and
that the men should be allowed to cradle
the fruits Of their husbandry.

A writer in the Wisconsin Chief asks the
significant questiou-Wboever yet, on seeing
"a distillery, looked up and thanked God that
it existed and that it was pouring out its
streams of blessedness to cheer and refresh
the way-worn traveller ? And then replies
No human nature is not so Remembering
as to look up and bless God for this. But
the gushing fountain Of pure, cool water, as
it bubbles up, asks permission to bless-and
the weary, thirsty traveller, if ever his heart
swelled with grateful emotions, will send up
a thanksgiving to Heaven for a free, pure,
cooling draught from the blessed fountain.
Did you, kind reader, ever make a compari.
son between a distillery and a spring of pure
cool water? If not, just do it for one mo-
ment. Try to realize the blessings of the one,
and the curses of the other. The one was
founded by the Great Architect of the uni
verse, to be a blessing to everything within
its reach, both animate and inanimate. How
it beauties and refreshes vegetation! How
pure andinvigorating the atmosphere around
it! And as it dances away in the little rills,
singing as it goes, there is not a man, wo-
man, or child; there is not a beast, bird,
fish or insect; there is not atree, a shrub,
a flower, nor even a tiny blade, within its in
fuence, but what raises-unconsciously per-
haps-blessings richer far than the miser's
we'll filled Golfers can purchase.
Can as much be said in favor of a diStille-
ry? A fountain of mans creating? A man
did I say? Can a true man, one of Gods
noblemen, engage in such a work, now in
this nineteenth century, when the light of
the temperance gospel is shining all around
No, never! A distillery what is it? A
fountain which sends forth streams of liquid
FIRE, that scar and blastall that comes in con-
tact with them. The atmosphere around it
is a stencil in the ~Dostrils. It's polluting in.
fuence is observable everywhere. And oh,
the disease and sorrow, and death, that ema-
nate from this accursed fountain! l wonder
if those engaged in this work of death ever
stop to think of the signs and tears, the bro
ken hearts, wasted energies, and ruined
minds they are preparing for those who sac
rifce at this dark and hideous altar? For,
when such a temple is erected, there is also
an altar, on which costly precious sacrifices
are laid Fortunes, homes, regulations,
buoyant hopes, loving hearts, and even
wives and children, are some of the offerings
which smoke upon that cruel altar; not to
appease an offended Deity, but to call down
Gods vengeance on the man who causes all
these woes. Who then, on passing one Of
these halfway houses on the road to perdi-
ton, can look up and ask Gods blessing up
on it? All who can do it?

A MIRACLE OF HoNEsTY.-At a party
one evening several contested the honor of
having done the most extraordinary thing;
and a reverend gentleman was appointed sole
Judge of their respective pretensiops-
:. One party produced his t~ailor's bill with
a receipt attached to it. A buzz wentthrough
the room that this could not be outdone,
when
A second proved that he had just arrested
his tailor fol-, money that was lent him.

when a third put 10 his claim:
"Gen.lemen," said he, 4" I cannot boast
of the feats of my predecessors, but have re-
turned the owners two umbrellas they left at
my house:

of virtue of which I never knew any one
capable. The prize is-"sE? F&@$
