Z The source Of the mistake was easily
cleared up. gl
Old Morisini had son, settled as mcr-
ried, had daughter bearing the same
name as her aunt--Juliano Morisini.
This daughter-the beauty of the Giar-
dino Publico--was on visit to her grand,
father at Venice, when, in the manner re-
lated she was seen by General Gablentz,
who, because her name was Morisini, and
she lived in the same house, very illogical
ly jumped to the conclusion that she must
be the old Venitian, Morisini's daughter.
In his impatiencc to have the fair one for
his wife, he had dispensed with a court
ship, and, indeed, with any interviews
with the lady, satisfied with her father $
consent and fearin. probably, that his
own age, and rough and rugged address
and countenance might not make tender
impression on the soft and dazzling erea-
ture whom he desired to make his wife.
Brigham Young receives little mercy at
the hands of the "Gentiles," and we are
not certain he deserved much, but he now

with other nutriment for you should un-
derstand that our food is composed of three
staple artcles-sugar is good. But to
train your children to drink tea and coffee
at two, three or four years DID, is very per-
nicious and injurious. You, mothers and
daughters in Israel, who are taking this
course, how do YOU expect to live to ac-
you? Why, you will not live half your
days you will come short Of it as much
as the wicked. Is this true? 1t is verify
true. You get up in the morning to have
your cup of tea, your fried ham, your cold
beef and mince pies, and everything you
can possibly cram into your stomach, until
you s,xfcit the system and lay the founda-
ton for disease and early death.
Take the Americans, say in the old
Granite State where have Travelled, and
to look at their surroundings out of doors
you would not think they had more than
one bean to Il pint of water but so into
their houses and you will find beef, pork,
apple pie, custard pie, pumpkin pie, mince
pie, and every luxury, and they live so as
to shorten their days and the days of their
children. You may think that these things
are mot Of much Importance no more
are they unless they are observed but let
the people observe them and they lay the

years, on the earth.

Now, Latter-day Saints, only think how
far short we come Of being what we ought
to be. Some will indulg in little false
hood here and there; evil, folly, nonsense,
lies, deception, arrogating to
that which does not belong to
them. We are gathered together express
y to expose the wickedness that is in our
hearts. How often in looking over the
of the Saints can pick out
| man here and woman there guilty of
hese things. Here, probably, is a brother
who has been deacon in the Baptist or
Presbyterian church for thirty or forty
1ears, and was just as good man as there
