WEST POINT -'rhc arluous duties of West Point cadet are not more than half realized by the hundreds of young gentlemen seeking ap- pcintmcnt there. Rise at five in summer and six in winter, bcd-clothcs put away, and room arranged for inspection in half an hour. Study until seven. Glass parade at eight Rccita- ton and study until one. Dinner and rccrea- ton until two. Another class parade. Study until four Sunset, general parade, supper, and in thirty minutes the call to quarters. Until half past 9 study, and at 10 every light extiI- guished. Of course, these duties are somewhat evadcd but it is dangeroi,s business. Such is but an outline of the days work, repeated from day to day for five years, with no inter- ruption but Sunday. At the end of the first two years there is a furlough of several weeks, this being the only time during the course in which the cadet is allowed to leave the acade- my. There are endless opportunities during the military exercises for mourning delnerit, and if any cadet incurs one hundred in six months he is declared deficient in conduct. For all this drilling, the cadets receive $50 per mouth, and are required to pay for board $9 to $lO per month, and $2 for washing. Other expenses. as clothing, etc., consume the whole. Their fare is of the plainest kind.

How TO CURE FRUIT STEALERs --One great hindrance to fruit-growing in the neighbor- hood of towns, and one of the greatest hil- drances to perseverance in it's culture, is it's exposure to be stolen. One may send to distant nursery for a rare and expensive kind of fruit, may watch over and nurse it for sev- eral years, and then, when his eyes are glad dened by its first productions. some ragged loafer may enter his grounds by night and de- your them. Nay, some loafers not ragged, but professedly genteel, may rob him of his treasures, and then chuckle over their success as a frst-rate joke.
 Why should not our Legislature give US a law punshing fruit-robbing with heavy pen- alties? Better that thief enter cur barns and carry off oats or corn, than enter our gar dens and strip our pear-trees and grapevines of their delicious burdcn. We wish too, that public sentiment visited the robbery with greater reproduction and disgrace. But until such a goed time comes, every man must guard his own castle in the best way he can. A neighbor of ours treats his offering visitors to dose they don't relish. For example. When his early Sweet Rough apples are be- ing nightly stolen, he takes several fine spe- cimtns and immerses them in a week solution of ipecachuana and scatters them again on the ground first marking them so that his own family shall not eat them by mistake. He treats few of the outside hills of his straw berry patch in the same way. It affords him no little amusenlement to learn privately, that the doses take effect where they were design cd to do so, his father (a doctor) being soon sent for by suspected persons to prescribe for their disordcred stomachs and unaccountable nausea This gentleman's fruit garden lies on the bank of a canal, and the indigestibity of his fruit is we'll known to the canal-drivers and all along the route !--RuraI American.

 CLARK & TACKABURY BROS, Phila VNVHE people of Connecticut have long felt the u need ot explicit and reliable Map of their State. We take pleasure in being able to say, that the surveys which have been in progress for a few years past preparatory to such work, now com pleted. Tine Map has been drawn by G. M.

 The engraving is now completed and the Map will be ready early the present season. The Map when finished, will be of the most complete ever pub
 shed, the large scale on which it is drawn afford ing opportunity to show in detail very infinitely, much more than is usually shown on State Maps, the size being about five by six feet
 The boundaries of the different counties and of the ressional districts will be shown, and all the towns in the State represented in different colors All the different roads, railroads. mountains, lakes, rivers ponds and also the location of all the public buildings, churches school houses, manufacturing establishments, and private residences, will be fully shown on the Map.

AY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1859.

Il that such had been the case with Christ anG ffapostles, and that the Godly must expect per secutlon. Mir. G. enqnired about the Dantes, and Young denied their existence. He knew of 1t only from the islanders of their enemies. The subject of polygamy which was next discussed, is so characteristic, that we give | the passage entire
 Il. G.-With regard, then, to the grave question on which your doctrines and practis- es are avowedly at war with those of the Christian world-that of plurality of wives is the system of your Church acceptable to the majority of its women?
 5. Y.-Thcy could not be more averse to 1t than was when it was first revealed to us as the Divine will think they generally accept it, as do, as the will of God.
 H. G.-How general is poIygamy among yon?
 B. VI could not say. Some of those present heads of the Church have each but one wife {; others have more each determines what is his individual duty.
 II. G.-What is the largest nur'ber of wives belonging to any one man ?
 B. Y.--I have fifteen; know no one who has more but some of those seal, d to me arc old ladies whom l regard rather as moth CTS than wives, but whom 1 have taken home to cherish and support.
 H. G Does not the Apostle say that bishop should be " the husband of one wife ?'
 B. Y.--So we hold. We do not regard any but married man as fitted for tie office of bishop. But the Apostle does not forbid a bishop having more wives than one.
 H. G.--Does not Christ say that he who puts away his wife, or marries one whom an- other has put away, commits adultery
 B. Y.-Yes and hold that no man should ever put away wife except for adultery not always even for that. Such is my indvid- ual view of the matter. I do not say that wives have never been put away u our Church, but that do not approve of the practice.
 MT. Greeley says that Young spoke readi- ly, not always grammatically, but with no ap- pearance of hesitation or reserve, and with no apparent desire to conceal anything. In ap pearance, he is portly, frank, good-natured, rather thick-set man of fifty-fve, enjoying life as he goes
 Mir. Greeley is of opinion that the Mormon system has an evident tendency to degrade woman, and thus prevent her from acquiring any knowledge or influence.

All men who have succeeded well in life, have been men of high resolve and endurance The famed William Pitt, in early life was fond ofgambling the passion increased with years he knew that he must at once master the pas sion, or the passion would master him.
 He made firm resolve that he would never again play at hazard game. His subsequent eminence was the fruit of that power. Will liam Wiberforce, in his early days, like most of young men of lis rank aud age, loved the exct, ment of places of hazard. He was one night persuaded to keep the faro bank-hc never saw it before he was appalled, with what he beheld. Sitting amid gaming ruin and de- spair, he took the resolution that he would never again enter gaming house He chang ed his company with the change of his conduct, and subsequently, became one of the most dis tinguished Englshmen of his days.
 Dr. Samuel Johnson was once requested to drink wine with friend the Doctor proposed tea. But drink q little wine," said his host. Il cannot" was the reply ; Il know absti- nence--I know excess, but know no medium. Long since, l resolved, as could not drink 6 Little wine, I would drink none at all."

From the Hartford Daily Courant.

In the progress of Horace Greeley's Over. land Journey, he had an interview of some two hours in length with Brigham Young, which Mir. Greeley describes in his graphic manner. He told Young and the Elders assembled tha, he had visited them for the express purpose of obtaining fuller knowledge of the doctrines and polity of the Mormon Church. Brigham was willing to answer, and Horace proceeded to catechise him.
 From the conversation that ensued, we learn that the Mormon asserts that there can be no true Christian church without priesthood directly commissioned by Christ and in imlne- date communication with him, and that all other churches who have not this direct rerc- lation of Gods will are heretical and out of the way of salvation-that the name they give their church is that of The Latter-Day Saints i; that they believe in the existence of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, but not as one person that the believe in a personal, malignant dev- il in the eternal punishment of the wicked :; in the practice of Baptism on adults by i'm mersion, but do not practise infant baptism that they consider it obligatory on all Saints to join tl.em in their country, and to be pre- pared for the triumph of the church.
 On the topic of slavery, Young said that they considered it as of Divine Institution and not to be abolished until the curse pro- nounced on Ham shall have been removed from his descendants He farther said there were slaves already in Utah. If slaves are brought into the Territory, their escape from their masters was not encouraged, but that the Territory would enter the Union as Free State, because slavery would be useless and improbable. Utah is not adapted to slave labor
 Mormon converts are required to pay over to the church onc-tenth of their productions and earnings, although no compulsion is used to obtain it. It is left to each mans own con- science. The money thus collected, is devoted to building temples, to helping poor converts to reach the territory, and to the support of l the poor among the Saints None of it goes not penny, Brigham says-to the support ol the Bishops, Elders or Deacons They must support themselves and their families by the labofs of their own hands. Young said he
 had never received cent from the church They had never made up what he Was strip ped of when driven from Missouri and ther
 from Nauvoo. He was worth $250,OOc, yet
 it had not come from the church, nor for any Iservice as Minister of the Gospel
 I MT. Greeley then enquired why the sect wert
 so much spoken against, and Young replied

THE "DAsHAwAY AssocJAr1oN."-A San Francisco correspondent of the Cleveland Her aid, thus explans the origin of the celebrated Temperance League of California
 1 A temperance movement has recently been started in this city, similar, in some respects, to the original Washingtonian episode at Bal tlmore. The original nineteen starters were hdbataes of an engine house, and members of tie company that propelled the machine-- 1 They had been four or five days and nights on a frightful "tear," without going out of the house, when snakes and other " insects that usually follow such orgies began to appear. At length dawn of reason reached one of the party, who was worm-eaten clean through, when he rose on his tottering legs, aud ncr- vously exclaimed Boys, let's dash this d-d | stuff away, and drink no more." Agreed" " said three or four. "I'm hanged if don't" " says another, and so on by degrees, the whole nineteen came in and signed moral "Decla- ration of Independence" Subsequently, the whole company signed the contract.
 From this little point started the Dash away Association, numbering now about fif- teen hundred members. including in it's number the first Governor of California (who has been for years confirmed inebriate )--also, lawyers, actors and civilians of all grades, from the highest to the lowcst--from those who tipplcd in fashionable society, in fashionable saloons, among the politicians of the day (always lih- eral about clcction) to these who took their qniet snifter" of doublebreasted Minnie-rihc whiskcy on the cocks and wharvcs There is recularity about this temperance movement that have never>srcn in any other. It Is this: the members simply pledge Me0sselres to abstain from all intoxicating drinks, but they are not forbidden to deal in the article, or to entertain their guests or friends with imbut- uat:on.' A Dashaway frequently takes so- da, while his friend whom he asks to drink with him, takes iron juce' or brandy strait So far there have been hut few fallen from grace. Many whiskcy' mills about town fee! their influence sensibly about the tiN, and the society, singular as it may seem, number witl, it's members several bar-keepers' It was originally intended that none but fully gradu- ated sonhers should belong to it, but so popu- lar has it become that many, even to clergy men and doctors, never known to indulge, have solicited for admission into its ranks l"

A good joke is told of Beecher and Park
 Benjamin, though it is probably not true On one of their lecturing expeditions, they were riding in the same railway car Getting into conversation about preaching, Beecher was so courteous as to ask Benjamin to come over to Brooklyn and hear him. "I do not know where your meeting house is" said Benjamin /" how shall l find it 2" "Oh," replied Beecli- CT, all you have to do is to come over one of the ferries, and follow the crowd" "I would come," continued Benjamin, "but for one reason" Ah what is that ?" asked Beecher.
