HEARTH AND HOME for this week dated
June 25th) contained the series of sketches
entitled Jethro TROOPS Night Thoughts
by John Thomas, who is no other than
Petroleum V. Nasty. The great humor-
list will take an honest country boy to the
city, conduct him through the usual ex-
perience, and restore him to his home a
sadder and wiser boy, satisfied that the
peaceful, honest and temperate life Of
the farmer is the best and safest life that
can be lived. This is the lesson greatly
needed at this time, and Nasty is the
man to teach it,
AN IRISH COMPLIMENT The Irish
Times of Dublin devoies considerable
space to an account Of Professor llackett,
the American Editor of Smiths " Die.
tionary of the Bible" who is Just now
travelling abroad, and who passed through
Dublin lately The article speaks in high
terms of the improvement which the
American possesses over the English edi
ton of Smiths Dictionary. The addi-
tional articles, it says, and supplement
tary matter which it contains, make it
substantially different book and read
ers may complain that the law Of copy
right deprives them of access to valua-
bio store of Biblical knowledge. If the
American publishers, Messrs. Hong hton
& Co., Of Cambridge, Mass, had effected
such an arrangement with DR.. Smith as
would permit their edition to circulate in
the United Kingdom, it would probably
have found many purchasers As it is,
the best thing that DR.. Smith can do is
to bring out a supplement to his Diction-
airy containing all the matter which is
now exclusively to be found in the Amer
lean Edition"

Life in Utah; or the Mysteries and
Crimes of Mormonism being an expose
of their secret rites and ceremonies, with
full and authentic history Of Polgamy
and the Mormon sect, from its origin to
to its present time" by j. H. Beadle,
editor of the Salt Lake Reporter. Pub
lished by the National Publishing Co.,
Boston, Mass.
Tho attention which Mr. Bcadle's let
tiers on Mormonism, written from Utah
to the Cincinnati Commercial, attracted
throughout the country, justifes MS in
predicting that this new work from his
pen will command large and rapid sale.
OF all the writer's who have yet touched
upon this theme, Mr.. Beadle is, perhaps,
the best prepared for the task His long
residence among the Mormons, and his
position as editor of the Salt Lake Re-
porter, have given him a familiarity with
the subject, which it is impossible for any
mere transient visitor to acquire. We
are therefore justified in placing more
than usual confidence in his statements,
which he supports, by an overwhelming
array of testimony from both Mormon and
Gentle sources.
1t may be said with truth, that the Gu
riosity Of the public with regard to the
state of affairs in Utah, was never so
great as at present Mr.. Beadle's book
will amply satisfy the most curious. He
traces the history of Mormonism from the
birth of its Prophet and founder down
to the present day. and shows how com.
pletely the Mormon Leaders have duped
their followers; how they are kept in a
state of reasonable hostility to the Tn.
ion and how the Territory has been
made scene of constant strife and blood
shed The work goes deep into the mys-
teries of this strange religion, and lays
bare its horrible licentiousness. 1t
abounds in records of the vilest and most
terrible occurrences, which make it read
more like romance than veritable his
tory.
Coming before n rs 1t does at time
when the General Government is making
a determined effort to restore order and
morality in Utah, We find it most well
come and useful work 1t is far more
thrilling than the majority of sensational
books with which the country is flooded.
and is calculated to do much good by
giving to the public a candid and impair
tial statement of question which bids
fair to cause no little trouble. The book
is sold only by subscription, and agents
are wanted in every county.
