A Little Sermon.

A nice little sermon with n strong
admixture of truth running through
it, is a gem in its way, and when
found should not be lightly set aside.
A sermon is sometimes good and
sometimes bad. Sometimes the les
son is more readily learned and longer
remembered, because it is taught by
a particular person or institution.
Below we append one of those little
sermons, which, while it is as true as
Gospel, yet o sermon we would not
dare to print as original in the col
umns of the HERALD. Had we done
so we should have been denounced as
the utterer of libel and the promul-
gator Of fraud. But the New York
Observer, a religious journal of might
and influence, says: r.. .n
All judicious pastors discourage familiarity
on the part of their people, especially of the
female denomination. For this way lies the
danger. a silly woman pious perhaps, but
very soft and shallow, hears the stirring words
of her eloquent pastor, is reused, warmed,
soothed, exalted,-she thinks etfGed,-and
straightway she believes him to be the man
sent to do her good. She goes to his study to
tell him so; how much enjoyment she finds
in his words; or she writes him letter, and
pours out her little soul full OF twadle about
her gratitude for what her dear pastor has
done for her; how she is Gifted up" by his in
structions; how she loves him as a friend
given to be her guide and comforter, and so
on, and so on, more and worse, running into a
mawkish sentimentality, a sickening man
worship, disgusting to every sensible person,
hutvery nectar to Il vain, worldly preacher,
who seeks only to make his hearers " feel

Amendments to the Code.

Among the amendments made to
the Code by the last Legislature of last
Winter are the following which are of
general interest. They all went into
effect on the first OF July.
All claims against county must be
first presented to the Auditor, instead
of filed with the Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors as formerly.
The criminal jurisdiction Of JUS
tices of the Peace is restricted to often
ses committed within their respective
townships.
The jurisdiction of Justices over Of
fenses is moreover limited to cases
where the penalty does not exceed q
six months imprisonment or fine of
$500, instead of a years imprisonment
and $1,000 fine, as formerly
The law allowing the mortgage one
day for every twenty miles distance
between his residence and the clerks
office, in which to record his mort
gage, was also repealed; also the de-
cision of the Supreme Court previous
ly rendered on that enactment made
the repeal more an act of form than
anything else.

The Wharf Contract.

EDITOR HERALD: The Anaheim
Southern Californian of the 22d, in an
article upon the Bolsa Chica wharf
matter, concerning which there has
been some stir, declares that the COM
pany has nothing more to do with
Gay concerning the construction of the
wharf, and that no connection what
ever exists between the said parties
i. e., the company and Gay. And
thereupon, upon that basis, advises all
to take stock therein. Will you per-
NIT me to state the facts, which are
these: Gay, bidder for the construc-
tion of the wharf, has obtained a
judgment of Court against the Bolsa
Chica Wharf Company for a specific
performance Of contract on the part of
the company, and therefore the COM
pany has no right whatever to let the
contract to any other person. Gay is
and has ever been ready to perform
upon his part, and intends to enforce
performance upon the part of the
company. L. GAY.

A False Argument.

EDITOR HERALD: 1t seems to me
that in your issue of Saturday you
dashed off an article under the above
caption without your usual delibera-
ton.
"vice is monster OF such hideous meln
That, to be hated, needs but to be seen;
But seen too oft, familiar with its face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace"
Thus speaks Pope or the subject,
and it is as true as Holy Writ. We
are all, more or less, creatures of cir
cumstance, and what is hateful to-day
becomes loveable to morrow. Tell
me not that precept and example eX-
ert no influence on the morals of man
kind. Some thirty-five or forty years
ago an Episcopal minister, to while
away his leisure hours, wrote a relig-
ious romance, the manuscript of which
was stolen by shrewd, cunning, fell
low by the name of Sydney Rigdon,
who, in conjunction with one Joseph
Smith, baptised it as the Book of
Mormon. Upon this slight founda-
ton, by the power of precept and ex-
ample, they have erected a powerful
theocracy, which at times has deied
the power of the United States, and
is still o troublesome cancer in the
body polite. Since that time, Brig
ham Young has added polygamy to
the Book of Mormon-at first to the
disgust of the decent portion, if not all,
of his followers. To-day, by the force
of precept and example, polygamy is
the first article in the Mormon creed,
and its practice universal. But we
need not go to Salt Lake nor the
mountains of Utah for argument to
refute your position-taken, probably,
under the pressure of your " DEVILS"
cry for more "copy.n Do you recol-
lect, in the early days, whilst sporting
upon the village green, the first oath
you ever heard l do; and it made
the hair on my head stand on end. !
am older now, and have seen the day
would rip out an oath with the gem
uine ring of the Barbary-coast ranger,
without rutfiing hair
Take retrospect of your own eXpe-
rience, and answer if truth and candor
do not compel you to admit the truth
of the above quotation.
HAMPDEN.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1874-08-25

OUR correspondent, "HAMPDEN,"
assumes that polygamy is the leading
tenet of the Mormon religion. This
Is hardly correct. 1t is the distinctive
feature of that faith, but not its sub
stratum. There are many thousand
Mormons who neither practice nor be-
lieve in polygamy. In fact, the church
is now divided on that question. The
argument that we "first endure, then
pity, then embrace" " a vice, does not
seem to hold in the practice of polyg-
amy among the Latter Day Saints.
Many old Mormons of both sexes have
opposed that feature of the religion
from the beginning, and the fact that
it is practiced all around them has not
made them converts to it.

THE Plymouth Church Committee
have listened, pondered, and finally
spoken. If this committee correctly
understands itself and the case, Mr..
BEEcHER is not guilty. We antici-
pated this verdict. The evidence
must have been strong-much stronger
than 1t was-to have secured any
other degree of verdict from that
committee. 1t was said by an emin-
ent jurist that the Almighty foresees
everything except what will be the
verdict of a petit jury. Mr.. BEECH
ER's committee was very unlike q
petit jury; everybody seemed to know
what its verdict W ould be, and every
body guessed correctly. Well, Mr..
BEEcHER is innocent, Mrs. TILToN is
innocent, TILToN is a fool, MoULToN
q knave, and all is serene.

Der, 1871, the bauk failed, when the Controller
of the Currency appointed Mr.. Man as receiver
OF the bank The assets of the bank were in
euffcient to lay its. debts, and to secure the
payment of these debts it wa necessary to make
several stockholders of the bank personally La
BILE. Defendant held ten shares of the bauk
stock at the par value of 500 each share.
The Controller assessed him al titty-four dollars
on each of these ten shares. He refused to
pay this assessment. The defeuce set up the
following reasons for not paying the assess
ment That the assessment was made without
any notice of the same having been given to
the defendant; that the receiver OF the bank
was appointed without the bank having been
called upon to show cause why he should not
be appointed, aud that all of the Coutrollc: 5
acts were without jurisdiction in the premises.
Judge Blatchford overrulcd these points, and

How TO ESTIMATE THE PRoFlrs OF a FARM.
The farmer lives III his own house. The use
of the house, which he does not pay for, is as
much part of his income as the money which
salaried man pays for rent is of his, and should
be counted as such 10 an estimate OF the profits
of the farm. All things produced on the farm
and consumed on the farmers table, including
the vegetables from the garden, the eggs aud
milk used in cooking are as much part OF his
income as the money paid for such things out
of his salary is of the salaricd man. Ii the
farmer gives bis wife aud children pleasant
ride to town using his own horses aud wagon
the value of their use is part Of his income
from his farm, as truly as the money the other
man pays out of his salary for carrlaAe hire OF
his The correct rule for estimating the In
come from farm is substantially this: Give
credit for every article produced, used or ex-
pended in any way whatever, no matter how
small iu value, as well as for cash received for
products sold, and for increase IN value OF farm
property, and charge against the farm for ln-
terest on capital Invested, aud tor all cxpendl-
lures. The farmer that will do this from year
to year, will not so much feel like complaining
Of the uuprohtableuess of farming as compared
with other pursuits The fact is, that not one
iu hundred farmers take into consideration
the luxury and comforts of fresh eggs, butter,
milk, fruits, etc, that they would nave to pay
high prices for if ihty .!rcd IN towns, Or DO
without them.
