During the siege of darkness / stood
close by Joseph, aud with all the wisdom
and power of God bestowed upon me, put
forth my utmost energies to sustain the
servant of God, and unite the quorums Of
the church.
Ascertaining that plot was laid to
waylay Joseph for the purpose of taking
his life, on his return from Monroe, Michi.
gan, to Kirkland. l procured horse and
buggy, and took brother William Smith
along to meet Joseph. We met him re.
turning in the stage coach. Joseph request
ed William to take his seat in the stage
and be rode with me in the buggy; we ar
rived in Kirkland in safety.
How Brigham paid his expenses on his
journeyings can be learned by one instance
related by him. He was on his way from
Indiana to Kirkland in 1889. He says:
While in Pleasant Garden we obtained
some money, so that with the five dollars
we previously had, amounted to $3.50.
When we got into the stage we did not
expect to be able to ride but a short dis
tance. We rode as far as indianapolis,
paid our passages, found we hads sufficient
means to take our passages for Richmond,
Indiana.
When we arrived at this place, we found
we had means to take US to Dayton, to
which place we proceeded and tarried over
night, waiting for another line of stages
We expected to stop here and preach un-
I'll we got means to pursue our journey
went TO my trunk to get money to pay my
bill, and found that we had sufficient to
pay our passage to Columbus, to which
place we took passage in the stage and
tarried over light.
When I paid my bill found / had suf-
ficient to pay our passages to Wooster.
We tarried till the after part of the day, and
then took passage for Wooster; when we
arrived there I went to my trunk again to
get money to pay the bill, and found suf-
fcient to pay our passages to Cleveland.
On arriving at Kirkland 1 had York
shilling left, aud on looking over our ex-
penses 1 found we had paid over Ss7 out
of the $3.50 we had at Pleasant Garden,
which Is all the money we had 10 pay our
passages, to my certain knowledge, to start
on. We had travelled over 400 miles by
stage, for which we paid from 8 to 10 cents
a mile, and had eaten three meals a day,
for each of which we were charged fifty
cents, also fifty cents for our lodgings.
But this was not the sole miracle work
ed by Brigham, for on the steamer Colum-
bus, in the same year, on trip from Fair
port to Buffalo he stilled the waves, and
there was great calm. He says:
The wind rose about one o'clock in the
morning, went upon deck and felt i'm
pressed in spirit to pray to the Father in
the name of Jesus for forgivness of all
nay sins, and then felt to command the
the winds to cease, and let US 60 on our
journey: the winds abated, and felt to
give the glory and honor and praise to
that God who rules all things.

A TEXT FOR YoUG MEN.-A better
subject for young men to discourse about,
and mediate upon, was never written
than the following by Swift:-"No man
ever made an i'll figure who understood
his own talents, nor good one who mis-
took them." Young men do not fail in
the pursuits of life because they lack the
ability to succeed, half as often as from a
misdirection of talents. A right use of a
moderate capacity will accomplish more
than wrong application Of the most bril-
liant qualifications. Study, therefore,
yourselves. Aim to find out the actual
talents you possess, and then endeavor TO
make the best possible use Of them, and
you can hardly come short Of making a
good figure in the world, and what is more
being one among those who lived not in,
vain.

The CHICKENS AND FEArHERs.-At
breakfast one morning, in that quiet and
comfortable old inn the White Swan, in
York, foreigner made quick dispatch with
the eggs. ThrustiDg his spoon into the
middle, he drew out the yolk, devoured it,
and passed on to the next. When he had
got his seventh egg, an old farmer who
mad already been prejudiced agaist Mon
sieur by his mustaches, could brook the
extravaganza no longer, and speaking up,
"Why sir, you leave all the white =
How is Mrs. Lockwood to afford to provide
breakfast at that ratea"

farmer was dumb-founded.

GONE.
BIZ JOHN c. WHITTIER

Another hand is beckoning us.
Another call is given;
And glows once more with angel steps
The path which reaches heaven.
Our young and gentle friend, whose smile
Made brighter summer hours,
Amid the frosts of autumn time
Has left us, with the flowers,
No paling ofthe cheek Of bloom
.Forewarned US of decay;
No shkdow from the Silent Land
Fell round our sisters way.
The light of her young life went down.
As sinks behind the hill
The glory ofa setting star,
Clear, suddenly, and still.
As pure and sweet her fair brow seemed.
Eternal as the sky;
And like the brooks long song, her voice
A sound which could not de-
And half we deemed she needed not.
The changing Of her sphere,
To give to heaven shining one,
Who walked an angel here.
The blessings other quiet life
Fell Oh US like the dew;
And good thoughts, where her footsteps pressed
Like fairy blossoms grew.
Sweet promptings unto kindest deeds.
Were in her very look:
We read her face as one who reads
A true and holy book.
I The measure Of blessed hymn.
To which our hearts could move;
Z The breathing of an inward psalm,
A canticle of love.
We miss her in the place Of prayer.
And by the hearth-fre's light;
We pause beside her door to hear
Once more her sweet Goodnight"
There seems a shadow on the day.
Her smile no longer cheers;
A dimness on the stars of night,
Like eyes that look through tears.
Alone unto our Fathers will
One thought hath reconciled-
That He whose love exceedeth ours
Has taken home his child.
Fold her, o Father in thine arms.
And let her hepceforth be
A messenger of lose between
Our human hearts and Thee.
Still let her mild rebuking stand
Between US and the wrong,
And her dear memory serve to make
Our faith in goodness strong.
And grant that she who, trembling here,
Distrusted all her powers,
Nay welcome to her holier home
The well-beloved Of ours

Auuecdotc of Henry Clay.

The great statesman and the orator was
travelling somewhere "out West" and put
up for the night at country tavern. "Mine
host" in looking over the register, discov-
cred the name Of Henry Clay. There was
but one "Clay." Could it be possible he
had this distinguished man under his roof.
He was astounded, delighted. Next morn
ing, as soon as the'"great man" appeared,
the admirable Boniface hustled forward,
and made his rude bow.
.sMr. Clay, 1 believe, sirl" said he.
1That is my name," said the gentleman
in his affable tone.
"Mr. Clay, the Congressman"
ayes, sir"
"Well, sir, I've heard of you, and and ]
thought I'd just ask if you wouldn't give
me and my old woman little speech be-
fore you got"

the gas lighted and the candlelighted gives the
former the appearance Of an Illuminated tran shoot

gas is forced by pump at the depot through small
IRON pipes into strong wrought iron and brazed
cylinder which is fixed beneath each car, and thence
conveyed through patent regulator to the interior
The supply in the cylinder is enough to feed two
burners for fifteen hours By the action of the recn
ator the force on the burners is equazed that the

until all the gas is consumed. The company is ar

ANCIENT TURQUOISE NINE IN NEW MExIco.-The
last number OF the American Journal of Science con.
tains an account by VIM. P. Blake of an ancient ex-
cavation in New Mexico made by the aborigines in
search OF stone which they called Chalchihuitl
This excavation IS about 300 feet wide and 200 deep
and is twenty miles from Santa Fe. It is shown TO
be very ancient by thick growth of pine trees in
the bottom of the pit, aud by fragments of
Indian pottery. The stone is green and blush green
and is identified with turquoise in its composition
The Indians still set the most extravagant value upon
beads and trnkets made OF it, and obtain small guam
titles from thin seams in the vicinity of the great
pit
The first present sent by Montezuma to Cortez for
the Spanish Sovereign consisted of four chachihuitl
stones they being more highly priced than gold
The name chachihuitl is still in use among the In
dams OF New Mexico and is Often pronounced as if
written chaiche tce,ta.
