The WAY to Serve Relations.

The following plan ought to be adopt
ed another year by country people hav-
ing city kindred. It is furnished the
Kingston Freeman as worthy of public
consideration: A gentleman living up
the railroad, having been pcstercd by
his relations from the city coming to
visit him every summer, told his wife
last spring that there must be a change
in things. If she had to work herself
half to death during the hot weather she
might as we'll get paid for it, so he
meant to advertise for boarders. The
good wife acquiesced, and the result is
they have filed their house with board
ers at 81 a week, and the host of rela-
tives have to go somewhere else to
board. "Wh7," said the gentleman,
"my wife don't have to work half 80
hard. These boarders are not near SO
particular about having costly food as
our relations, and they actually help
around the house just as """Sn it was
fun for them. Catch any Of our COM
pany doing that. Not q bit of it.
They are always in the way, wanting con-
tinual waiting on, and never did a thing
to help my wife-not even in washing
dishes. We will make this summer
nearly S4OO, and it will be clear money!
for u relations would have eaten jus.
as much as these boarders, besides max
ing more work, without ever contribut-
ing 8 cent.

Good Living and Dyspepsia.

sic; but the moHt aaa,thy people we have
ever known have been among those who
lived we'll who nte freely several times
a day of the most nutritious food. By
some it is said that tobacco, snuff, tea,
coffee, butter, ard even bread cause this
complaint ; but whoever will make in
quiries on this subject throughout the
community will find that this is seldom
true. In fact dyspepsia prevails. accord
ing to my experience, altogether the
most among the temperate and careful
among those who are careful ~ regards
what they eat and drink, and the labor
they put upon the stomach, but exceed.
ingly careless how much labor they put
upon that most delicate organ, the brain.
Such people often eat nothing but by
the advice of the doctor, or some treat.
Use on dyspepsia, or by weight; nor
drink anything that is not certainly
harmless; they chew every mouthfu]
until they are confident, on mature re-
Election, that it cannot hurt the stomach.
Why, then, are they d~yspepties3 Be-
cause, with all their ca%refulness, they
pay no attention to the excitement OF
the brain. They continue to write two
or three sermons or essays every week,
besides reading = volume OF two, with
magazines. reviews, newspapers, etc.
and attending to much other business
calculated to excite the mind. 1t is not
strange that such persons have nervous
and stomachic affections. The constant
excitement of the brain sends an excess
of blood to the head, and therefore
other organs are weakened, and morbid
sensibility is produced, which renders
the stomach liatle to arrangement from
very slight causes.

What they Promised.

A letter from 8. E. Denny, of the
Canadian mounted police, was received
at military headquarters, and is the first
official information sent this government
of the proposed alliance between the
Sioux and Blackfeet for warfare on
American whites and on the Grow In
dams. Denny was sent to investigate
affairs and to diplomatic among the
savages, which he appears to have dono
successfully. He visited the Biackfeet
nation and was cordially received, and
learned from them that the Sioux had
made advances to them for the purpose
of getting them to join them in fighting
the Grow Indians and also Americans.
The Sioux promised a portion OF the
apoils and also anumber of white women
whom they had captured. ..
They promised that, after the Amerl-
can whites were exterminated they would
90 across the border and massacre the
Canadian whites. The Blackfeet having
refused these propositions the Sioux
Threatened to come across and punish
them. Mr.. Denny promised to aid the
Bl ,ckfeets in case they were attacked
under these circumstances, which
pleased them so well that they made
profuse demonstrations ard assertions OF
eternal friendship for the whites and
threw themselves on the kindness and
protection of the Canadians, saying they
realized that in time they would be de-
prived of forage and provisions by the
encroachments of the whites.

After the Robbers.

Speaking OF the Minnesota bank rob
beers, a local paper says: 1t may look
ridiculous for a thousand men to hunt
down six outlaws, one or two of whom
are wounded; but the woods afford
splendid opportunity for ambuscade.
The people of the section where the
robbers have been discovered are ignor:
ant, superstitious Bohemians, who could
readily be made the obedient tools Of the
outlaws, who scruple at nothing. Every
foot of the ground must be gone over,
and there Will be shooting done before
the robbers are captured. The course
of the desperadoes in the main has
been due southwest, following the belt
of timber which is unbroBen from
Mortified to the State line, and every
where dense, they have once doubled on
their track. and in the flight Of fifty
hours or more had not proceeded more
than thirty-fve miles from Mortified,
the place where the robbery was com.
mitted, when last seen.

MOth.Eaten.
I hal q beautiful garment,


And l laid it by with care;
folded 1t close with lavender leaves
In napkin fine and fair;
at is far too costly a robe" eaid,
"Fnr one like nc to wear
SO never at morn or evening
l put my garment on =;
Ii lag b. itself under Clasp and hoy
In the perfuncd dask alone,
Its wonderful hroidery hidden
Till many a day had gone.
There were guests who came to my porta.
There were friends who sat with me,
And clad in soberest raiment
1 bore them company;
knew that I owned d beautiful robe,
Though its spleadors none might zee.
There were poor who stood at my portal,
There we're orphaned sought my care ;
l gave them the tenderest pity,
But had nothing besides TO spare;
1 had only the beautiful garment,
And the raiment for daily year..
At last, on a feast-day'f coming,
I thought in my dress to shine;
1 would lleaee myself with the luster
Or it's shifting colors fine;
I would walk with pride in the marvel
or its rarely rich design.
So OUT from the dust I bore it
The lavender fell away
And fold on fold I held it up
To the searching light Of day.
Alas tho glory had persisted
While there in its place it lay.
Who seeks for the fadeless beauty
Must seek for the use that seals
To the grace Of a constant blessing
The beauty that use reveals,
For into the folded robe alone
The moth with it's blighting steals.

The Mountain Meadow Massacre.

1t has been adisputed question wheth-
or Brigham Young was privy to the
Mountain Meadow massacre, a horrible
butchery by Mormons and Indians, of
men, women and children belonging to
an immigrant train bound for California
in 1857. From the evidence produced
by the prosecution at Beaver, Utah, in
the trial Of John d. Lee, the leader OF
the murderers, it would seem that
Young was not responsible in any way
for the atrocious act, but that, on the
contrary, when informed of Lees de-
sign, ho sent q messenger to the latter
with instructions to spare the immi-
grants and let them go in peace. The
messenger rode day and night, but the
massacre had taken place forty-eight
Lours before he reached Mountain Mea-
low. But this evidence, though it
shows that Brigham Young eAdeavored
to prevent tho murders, also proves
that he knew who the murderers were,
and yet he never took any measures
whatever to bring them to justice. The
proof against Lee seems to be conclu-
sive.
