camp with fifty men, principally Mormons.
with one or two discharged soldiers or
teamsters. OF the fifty men there are only
FIVE Americans. The Mormons are Swedes,
Danes, and Englishmen, all the most IL

Picking Up Chips.

Once there lived poor orphan girl in
Madison with some persons, whose princi-
pal use for her was to pick up chips
Day after day this was her chief employ
ment for long time. At length she was
sent to Sunday school by way of varying
her occupation and perhaps to give her a
start in education. After she had been
there perhaps two OF three Sundays, or
long enough to hear that God made her.
one of the school-teachers began to cate
chise her thus:-- 5aaa..-
Teacher--'Who made you?'
Little Girl-'God.'
Teacher-'What did God make you for?'
Little Girl-'To pick up chips
OF course she could not reasonably an
swer anything else, for she had never been
put to any other use, and she would for
ever have remained Of this opinion per-
haps, if she had remained surround by
the same circumstances: For this reason
some nations will remain for ages in the
servitude of a tyrant. because they ma y
never have had an opportunity ofknowing
anything else, or having it. not being pro-
gressed high enough to understand any
thing else.

he has mighty little character who has no

candor and fearless love for the thing he

their number will be proportionate to his
