DIDN'T LIKE MUTTON.

A good story is told of recent ex-
cellent performance of Handel S
IN essiah, at the Broadway Baptist
Church, Louisville. Ey. y farmer
took his wife to hear the grand music
Sd splendidly rendered on the occasion
and. after listening with apparent en-
joyment, the pair became suddenly
interested in one grand chorus. 1--WE
all, like sheep, have gone astray."-
First sharp, soprano voice exclaimed
''We all, like sheep-' Next a bass
voice uttered in the most earnest tone,
"We all, like Sheep Then the
singers all at once asserted, "We all,
like sheep" "Darned if l do,'
exclaimed old Rusticus to his partner.
81 like beet and bacon, but | can't
bear sheep meat" There was an au-
dible litter in that vicinity, but the
splendid music attracted attention
from the pair, and they quietly slipped
out.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

To THE YOUNG MEN:-As young
men, what are We doing? Are we
making any advancement or not ?
1 am afraid that we are not pro-
crossing as fast as we ought. Let
us take a retrospective view of the
past and see wherein we have mis-
improved our time; and after the
investigation, let US come out like
heroes, that those by whom we are
surrounded may see that we have
reformed; that we have abandoned
all such indulgences and wicked
habits; then will they see by our
lives and conduct that we are
heroic young men. We will then
be able to set a better example
to those bright and intelligent
little children that we see running
through our streets day after day.
While walking the streets of this
little city I have been many times
grieved to see so many nice and
respectable, we'll clad. young men
roaming from place to place. which
does not prove to be of any benefit
to them. Young men, let us seek
for better home; home that
will prove to be more beneficial to
us than those places referred to-.
If we were to look back upon
childhood's days, would it not
make us shudder, after such teach
ings from such pious, loving and
affectionate parents? Think of it,
young man; have you forgotten it
because you are SO far away from
them? They whose minds are con-
stantly employed about you; is it
possible that they are forgotten,
and all their hopes blasted? No.
Then let us live as they desire us
to live; when they will be pleased,
and the God that created and pre-
served us. It would be commend
able for the leading men of our
city TO pay some little attention to
this matter--that is if there be any.
And if there are not, let commit
tee be appointed to make some out
of the great number of men now
here. Well, dear reader, perhaps
you are getting tired of dwelling
so long on this subject; it is hoped
you will excuse me, for this is the
first time 1 have. ever written to SO
many at one time. From your
well-wisher, .. +. Z.

The Salt Lake Tribune makes tho
following reference to the personal
history Of John d. Lee and Dame:
Lee is q native of Missouri, aged
sixty-two, has had fourteen wives, but
now only has three. For the last ten
years he has been living in log fort
in aswamp below his farm, evident
ly expecting and fearing arrest. When
surprised at his farm he hid in .
chickcn-coop, where he was arrested.
"Lieutenant Colonel Dame" is New
Hampshire farmer, fifty-four years of
age, has only one wife; but is mon
omaniac on the subject of Mormon
ism. Seems to be mild and molten
sive, and would shrink from the COM
mission Of such crime, unless babe
to do SO by the Church authorities,
when he would hesitate at nothing
however MISUNDERSTANDING it to be
his religious duty.

THE END OF HER JoURNEY.-A
boy of five years was "playing rail-

he imagined himself both the engine
and conductor. After initiating the
putting noise Of the steam, he stopped
and called,out "New York." and in
a moment after "Patterson," and
then "Philadelphia." His know
ledge OF towns was now exhausted,
and at the next place he cried out
"Heaven." His little sister said,
eagerly, "Top, I des I'll Diet out
here"
