ONE DAY NEARER His DooM.-
When man has been sentenced to be exc.
cuted. as the time appointed draws nigh,
many people are heard to remark, swell,
one day more of poor IS time he's
gone."
1t does not appear to occur to the careless
outside observer that this is no truer of the
prisoner than of himself and every one
else-that another one of his days are gone,
and that he is just as absolutely one day
nearer to his own death as the doomed
prisoner is to his. 1t is nearer approach
to death which the condemned man makes
at common pace with all the living,
ouly the day of his doom is known to him;
while that of others is concealed from
them.
Meroifully concealed too, for how much
could the enjoyment of this life be dimin-
ished, if we knew beforehand just when we
should be obliged to quit it.
The uncertainty when we are to go, the
expectation of dying in our own homes
with our last hours consoled by the atten-
ton of kindred and friends, and sustained
by the hopes inspired by religion these
considerations rob earth, when It may, of
much of its terrors, and lead us to look
upon it rather as the peaceful close of our
lies labors.

A VIRGINIA MORMON time
since an old fellow from Tazewell county
who had been induced to adopt the free
and easy religion of which Brigham Young
is the chief pillar. concluded to emigrate to
Utah Territory, and accordingly he pulled
up stakes and with his family moved out
among the saints. Everything went on
smoothly for time, we are told, until
finally one of Brigham's " Elders" began
to cast amorous glances upon the buxom
spouse of the new brother; finally, "moved
by the spirit" which guides the virtuous
and pious Mormon, the elder $ sealed the
woman into himself.' The old man thus
summarily made widower, has returned
to his native hills, completely disgusted
with Mormonism, especially that part Of il
