THE BIBLE.

The following composition was
written by Emma J. Perry, of Ma
rietta, a little girl thirteen years old,
daughter of P. II. Perry, an indus
trious farmer:
Of all books the Bible is the most
interesting and useful to those who
will read it attentively. 1t is the
only book that gives a true history
of the creation of the world and of
the first human family, and which
clearly imparts to man his duty and
his destiny. It's titles signifies the
Book which means that is far above
all other books. In the blessed BIZ
BILE we read of our dear Saviour how
he suffered and died to redeem poor
sinners like we all are. There is
not one perfect person on the top
side Of this globe, no not one. Christ
came into this world to suffer and
die that we poor unworthy worms of
the dust might live and have eternal
life. The Bible is greatly to be
priced among the human race. Il
should be valued above all Other
books. There is nothing written in
the Bible that is not true. You neet
not doubt its contents. IF anybody
will turn to book of Proverbs they
will find it to be very interesting
The advice is good for old and
young, which all should profit by
In times of deepest troubles we cal
GO to the Bible and find comfort il
each holy leaf. The Bible is wis
dom for the simple, riches for tn
poor, hope for the Responding,
balm for the sick, courage for tn
fearful and life beyond the grave
How thankful ought we to be 70
the gift of the Holy Bible. Ho'
many poor heathens are there ii
this world who know nothing abou
the Bible. They are not blessed
like we are with Bibles, Churche
aud Sabbath Schools. Therefore
blessed as we are let us improve GU
opportunities and study to under
stand it, and so live as 10 reach thu
better land. EMMA PERRY.

WOULDN'T BE PLEASED.

| Some time ago there lived ia Eds
linburgh well known grumbler ram-
ed Sandy Black, whose often recur~
ring fits of spleen or indigestion pro.
duced some amusing scenes Of sense
less irritability, which were highly
relished by all except the brute's
good, patient little wife. One morn
ing Sandy rose bent on quarrel.
The haddins and eggs were excellent
done to turn, and had been order
ed by himself the previous evening
and breakfast passed with the look
for compliment.

"A chicken, madam, said the hus-

The dinner time came and Sandy

TRAGIC FATE.

IT is what is called dramatic af-
fair, the execution of the Mormon,
Lee, upon the Mountain Meadow
which was the scene of the massacre
in which he participated twenty
years ago. The old murderer, who
had been a ruler in the Church and
State of Mormondom, delivered bis
dying speech, in that solitary region,
to the little group there gathered, in
which were his executioners. He
showed nothing like terror or cow
ardice, sat blirdfolded, clasped his
hands over his head, and asked the
Marshal to aim at his heart, which
was quickly torn by the balls from
five guns. Not one of his numerous
wives was present, nor any Of his
many children. His confession con-
tains revelations so extraordinary and
terrible as to be almost beyond belief,
and brings to light many things here
tofore unknown about the Mountain
Meadow massacre. The religion
that is transfused through its sangui-
nary lines is of kind that has long
flourished in Mormondom, and finds
its prophet in Brigham Young.

TRUE PRINCIPLE.

The first and highest study Of life
should be to calsiy&te an absolute
and positive reference for moral truth
and power. The spirit of every high
and noble work stands upon the sol>
id foundation Of truth and 10 enter.
prise is worthy of respect or admi~
ration unless this is the corner >stone.
The old adage, that "honesty is the
beat policy" is not the best saying
in the world. Sometimes there is
counterfeit change in full circulation;
there are false words and false repu-
tation, and sometimes policy is the
cause of much seeming honesty.
Doing this or that for the sake of
policy, without regard to principles
of Justice and honor, is poor excuse
for honesty. When one stops to
think Of policy instead of duty, then
honesty becomes questionable char
acier. Joining a party or embrac>
ing creed, just to be popular, or
because some one else has done the
same, may betray selfish an unprin.
cipled spirit, but not rare wisdom or
marvellous piety.
Right doing, for sake of right, is
the only true exercise of the mind.
He is not wholly free who looks to
others for the rule of right that binds
his thoughts and actions. Always
be true for truths sake, and too
brave to speak or act against con-
scierce. The inclination to allow
any other motive to control ones &C
tons is temptation to do wrong.
Acting in an unprincipled way is
acting lie. The most expedient
way may not always be plain but
one may follow his highest ideas of
right, and that life stands highest in
the scale of humanity that is most
perfect and truthful. Only the soph-
list can say that it is hardly possible
or desirable to have an honest heart
and tongue. There is no real ad-
vantage gained from deceitful face
or double tongue. Double dealing
seldom brings even present and
temporary reward. 1t is plainly
written that ''the lip of truth shall
be established forever, but a lying
tongue is but for moment" To
cunningly boast Of having "come it"
over others, 10 any way or shape, is
species of boasting that deserves a
combination of pity and contempt
Discretion aud perfect sincerity do
side out to crafty the inquisitive
but good will and good sense will
show what it is to be true in princi-
ple-true to self and others.

Any of our readers going to New

should call on Mr. F. A. Coleman,
