COURAGE I'm WOMAN.

We subjoin paragraph below on the subject
indicated in the caption, which we commend to
our lady readers everywhere The gentler sex,
many Of them, have not hesitated to acknowledge
in presence that it their nature to be easily
alarmed and that they could not help it. This is
all sheer nonsense. We have seen ladies who
would scream with terror at the sight of bee run
affrighted from the approach of a small dog, and
actually fall into paroxysm of fear upon imagin-
ing they were threatened with an attack from
vicious cow. We far from admirIng Amazon
ian qualities, but we do confess with high respect
for ladies who can look danger in the face without
faintng, and who, in time of peril, can so COM
mand their presence of mind frequently to avert
the habit, which, by the betrayal OF undue timid-
rity, becomes inevitable. The extract above re-
ferred to is as follows:
There is branch of general education which is
not thought at all necessary for woman, as regards
which, indeed, it is well if they are not brought
up to cultivate the opposite. Women not
taught to be courageous. Indeed, to some persons,
courage may seem as unnecessary for women as
Latin and Greek, yet there are few things that
would tend to make women happier in themselves
and more acceptable to those with whom they live,
than courage. There many women Of the pre-
sent day-senslble women in other things-whose
panic terrors are frequent source Of discomfort to
themselves and those around them. Now, it is
great mistake to imagine hardness must go with
courage; and that the bloom of genteness and
sympathy must all be rubbed off by that vigor Of
mind which gives presence of mind, enables aper-
to be useful in peril, and makes the desire to
assist that sickness of sensibility which
can only contemplate distress and difficulty. So
far from courage being unfeminine there is Pc
culiar grace and dignity in those beings who have
little active power of attack defence passing
through danger with moral courage which is
equal to that of the strongest. We see this in
great things. We perfectly appreciate the sweet
and noble dignity of Ann Bowley, Mary Queen
of Scots, or Marie Antonette. There is no
beauty an fear. 1t is a mean ugly dshevelled
creature. No statue can be made of it that wo-
man would wish to see herself like.

POPULATION OF LONDON.

The weekly tables of the Registrar General for
1859 have shown the changes Of the population of
London during each of the ftty-two weeks and
now the births, deaths, and fatal diseases of the
year can be summed up. The gains and losses can
be numbered.
The natural increase of the population 3d.
939. That the excess Of the registered births
over the registered deaths. Besides the increase
by natural growth, London receives other acces-
sions every county of the United Kingdom sends
its quota to the metropolis, and the aggregate
number of immigrants, according to the best esti-
mate, exceeds $4,000 The probable increase Of
the population was 54 900 in the year, or more
than a thousand weekly.
The population of London in the middle of the
year 1859 was probably 2,77433S, comprising
about ,299 ,602 males, and 474 1856 females for
there are IT'S, 1874 more females than males. This
is the result of the excess of female over male i'm
migrants, and of the higher mortality to which
men are exposed.
The number of children whose births are regis
tered in the fiftytwo weeks amount to 92, $50, of
whom Al, ,l89 were boys, and 45,367 girls. Thus
the boys born exceeded the girls by 1922. The
births were at the rate of 1,7S0 weekly, 254 daily
The births exceeded by nearly 1000 the births in
the previous year, and 27 672 the births registered
in 1915
The destruction of life proceeds on the same
scale of grandeur; 61,6l7 of the inhabitants of
London died i; so if the dead of this single year
could be brought to life, they would people large
city.
81 ,451 males and 30,166 females died The
deaths do not increase at the rate the
births; yet their numbers have increased since
l845, when the deaths Of "a ,486 maes 1886
females were registered.

A SPLIT AMONG THE MoRMoNs.

A portion of the Mormons have at last become
dsgusted with the proceedings of the Saints at
Utah, and have taken steps to get rid of the
tyranny of Brigham Young A letter from
correspondent, which we publish in another column
gives an interesting account of the proceedings of
the Mormon Conference just held at Amboy, in
Illinois. The Mormon Church everywhere ac-
knowedges the rightful authority of young Joe
Smith, son of the founder of the sect;-and steps
have for some time been in progress to induce him
to assume the Presidency. This has at last been
accomplished. He has been indicted into Office
and made an address the occasion.
This new organization denounces the action of
Brigham Young with great vehemence, as founded
upon false doctrine, and calculated utterly to
disgrace and ruin the faith. 1t will be seen
by young Smiths speech, that they have no
sympathy with polygamy,-that they brand the
practices of Young and his followers as prompted
by seducing spirits, and based on the doctrines of
devils. 1t is proposed to send missionaries to
Utah, to expound to the brethren the false and
dangerous errors of faith and practice into which
they have been betrayed, and to induce them to
abandon their present habits, and return to the
primitive faith of the Mormon Church 1t is
believed that, with the prestige of young Joe
Smiths name, they can make decided impression
upon the Saints in Utah, and overthrow the
usurped and abused authority of Brigham Young.
1t is doubtful however, whether Young will
surrender his position and power so easily, and
whether his hold upon the people is not strong
enough to render these movements abortive. The
isolation in which the Utah Mormons live, the
despotism which Young has established over them,
the fact that all their property is in his hands, and
the ignorance of the great mass of them of any
other head of the Church, will render it very
difficult task to undermine his authority, or per-
suade the mass of his followers to rebel against
him. 1t is well understood, moreover, that he has
five or six hundred Dan1tes-reckless and perfectly
unscrupuous rufians-at his command, ready to
commit any crime which he may direct, and
disposed to crush summary any authority which
may dispute his own. Ifyoung Smith has anything
of his fathers and skill in dealing with men,
he may carry this important revolution into effect
The attempt is. at all events, an interesting and
important event
