JOE SMITHS FAMILY.

4 correspondent of the Missouri Re
publican writes that last summer he was
at Nauyoo. aud conversfd with Mr.. Bit
oman, who is married to Joe Smiths Wild
ow: He says;
Il sat at the table with the family, con-
sisting of Mr.. Bhoman and wife, and
three sons OF Joe Smith, the eldest about
twenty-three or twenty -four; the second
about twenty; the third lad of some
twelve or thirteen years. From Mr..
Bitoman / learned that not one Of the
family believe in Mormonism, and that
his wife, formerly Mrs. Smith, had al
ways been opposed TO them, as we'll as
the boys. was told that Joe Smith
prophesied some two years before this
young lad was born that n son was to be
born TO him at or about certain tinie
that at the time stated his wife did give
/ birth TO a son. At that time he also
stated that his sons name would be Da-
vid mot Joel and that is the name Of tho
lad, for | heard him answer to it. Joe
also said that his mantle Of greatness and
prophesy would fall upon his son and
lineal heir, David, who be stated would
be as wise and powerful as David Of old.
The fact of the birth of this child follow
ing according to Joe's prophesy, strength
ened the belief that had already so strong
hold upon his followers. Mrs. Ottoman
is a masculine, intelligent looking lady, of
forty-fve or forty.seven years. She is
native Of New York.
q She has a splendid farm some four
miles from Nauvoo, which is managed
by her two eldest sons, while David goes
10 school, About the two eldest there is
nothing remarkable to be seen. They
are intelligent men, Of large size, but
q have nothing in heirappearance betoken-
i ing them TO be prophets or sons of a
q prophet To their mother they are said
to be very much attached and very kind.
= David is an uncommonly intelligent lad,
Of massive forehead and bright, expires
sive eyes. His step-father intimated that
- be cares as little about Mormons and
Mormonism as that has never heard the
c names, notwithstanding that thousands o
the followers Of his father believe him t.
< be great high priest, prophet, u seer
n Gin embryo,) &c. He knows that the!
n, worship bis name equal to that of Jesu
st Christ; and yet. am told the lad is tot
l intelligent to allow it TO make any i'm
preston upon him. Probably the fact c
ut all the family being unbelievers in it i
lst the cause.
The following incident / learned fror
er a gentleman residing at Nauvoo: Th'
IS. when Joe was killed in Jail, some fiftee
'm miles from his home, his wife and GO
M took possession Of bis body, and, TO pr
w vent the rabble from getting it, the
N raised the floor Of the diniug-room, Al
lse digging a grave, buried his remains the
bat where they still remain. This stor
tell whether true or not, is generally beliey
.nd in Nauvoo.

hood and early life:
District School, not far away
Mid Berkshire hills, one Winters day,
Was humming with its wontet noise
OF three-score mingled girls and boys
Some few upon their tasks intent,
But more on furtive mischief bent
The while the Masters downward lock
Was fastened on a copy-took-
When suddenly, behind his back,
Rose sharp ard clear rousing SMACK!
As 'twere battery Of bliss
Let off in one trem endous kiss!

"Wath William Width if you please
Il saw him kith Thuthanah Peathe.'
With frown to make statue thrill,
The Master Numbered, "Hither Will.'
Like wretch o'ertaken in his track,
With stolen chattels on his back,
Will hung his head in fear and shame,
And to the awful presence came
A great green, bashful simpleton,
The butt of all good-natured fun
With smile suppressed, and birch appraised
The threatener faltered-''l'm amazed
! That you, my biggest pupil, should
Be guilty of an act SO rude!
Before the whole set school to boot
What evil genius put you to't?"

Il didn't mean to be SO bad
But when Susannah shook her curs,
