The ENCHANTED FIDDLER.

a SEQUEL TO THE ENCHANTED FIDDLE
However interesting and complete
in itself the fairy story CT "The En-
chantcd Fiddle' may lave been tc
the thousands Of people who read
what is daily printed in these col
umns, there are no doubt many who
would like to know what became oil
the wonderful musician and of other
matters connected with this gifted
and mysterious person.
It will be remembered that in the
story of the "Dorwroeschen" there
are both good and bad fairies con-
cerned in the plot; and so there
shall be in this, although in "Thc
Enchanted Fiddle" all works smooth
| ly and tremendously, and not a
word is said about bad fairy.
Little Jake himself knew but too
we'll of the evil influences of bad
fairies, and although he had never
been enchanted by any of them, he
had seen enough of their baleful
workings to place him on his guard,
and as far as possible avoid their
seductive advances.
The bad fairy that will be associa
ted with the fortunes of the wonder
full musician appears in no particu
lar conventional form; it may be
sometimes under the guise of q
beautiful female who replenishes the
emptied glass with the amber
colored beer" or with the "roseate
wine from Neckar and Rhine;" but
under such mask is the real bad
fairy, and, like the Lorelie, lures the
victim on to destruction.
Strange as it may appear, this
particular bad fairy is always in the
way of the worldly prosperity and
success of what are called "men of
genius" artists, literary men and
musicians. But it is towards the
latter that he seems to bear some
particulaAgrudge; he is always try
ing to enchant them, and he gener-
ally succeeds if he gains an undue
influence over them. AS to what is
called genius" some matter of fact
people contend that no irregularity
of conduct should be miscalled "ec-
centricity of genius" and if a man
follows music for a profession, he
should drudge at it as a shoe maker
over his lap-stone or blacksmith
over his anvil. To them the merit

How to Manage a Jury.

Presently the stiffness of the
courtroom was interrupted by the
entrance of a man, who came in with
a shullling, uneasy step, and with
his hat in his hand. He halted and
leaned against the railing. Nobody
took the slightest notice of him,
however. At last he took courage
and spoke:
''1s the judge in?''
The clerk Immediately awoke his
honor.
"Well, what ola you want2'
''Tm looking for a job, your honor.
I've been looking for work over a
month"
"There's nothing for you here"
Il thought you occasionally gave

wrote to me at Reno, last week, and
said that the jury business up here
was brisk an it would pay to come
up. AS I'm a stranger to you and a
little hard up, I'll START in and serve
for case or two for half price and
you kin see what | kin do.''
"What are your main qualifca-
tions?'
"My strong suit is maxim a jury

take the first ballot, then jine the ma
jority and argue the rest into it,. I

down at Truckee, IN a murder case,
there were couple Of fellers stand

gum with them as smooth and gen
tlemanly as l could for over a quar-
ter of an hour, I went for them with
chairs, and by the time I'd busted
half a dozen pieces of furniture over
'em they was glad to come in with a
verdict of murder in the first de-
gree and the Teller was hung not
long afterward In these justice
courts can get on the jury, an if
you'll just give me the wink as to
how you want the case to @, I'll
guarantee to fetch in he verdict you
want, or not take cent"
The man was told to drop around
again in a day or SO and they would
try and make vacancy for him. In
order to do it, however, some regular
jurymen will probably be discharged.

of the old players had a more cheer
full look this evening than usual, and
that they nudged each other and
chuckled maliciously. These re-
ports, however, may have originated
with some malicious people to con-
vey the impression that they were
jealous of the W. NJ, and were glad
of his downfall, which of course no.
body believed.
This was by no means the last &C.
casion that the wonderful musician
played in tile village hall, but it was
clear that he had lost the hold he
once had upon the people. The spell
was broken as his slavery to the en-
chanter became generally known, and
he will no doubt finally sink to those
low haunts and mechanically grind
out tunes for mere pittance where
a ma!den's innocent and merry laugh
is never heard, and where ribaldry
and obscenity reign supreme.
Perhaps some people in reading
these lines may say they been en-
trapped into reading temperance
story. Not a bit of it. Most people
are like the enchanted fiddler as far
as this is concerned. Writing or
talking vii. not break their enchant-
ment; and like him whose splendid
talents are thus obscured, they will
most probably make no effort to
throw of the chains of bad fairy
that will make life failure, and that
will eventually consign them to a
drunkard's grave Richmond Dis
patch.

How Mormonism Was Invented.

hVW MVl MVulSm WdS 1utCutCVs
The religion of Joe Smith and
Brigham Young had its origin in a
romance written by the Rev. Solo,
mon Spaulding, of Ohio, half CEN
fury or more ago. The story is fur
nished by Mr.. J.. A. McKinstry, of
Longmeadow, son Of the late Dr..
McKinstry, of Monson, and grand
son of the Rev. Mr.. Spaulding. The
Rev. MIR. Spaulding's widow, who af-
terward became Mrs. Dawson, came
East from Ohio to live with her
daughter, at Monson, many years
ago, bringing the manuscript of his
romance with her. She died some
twenty-five years ago, bat before her
death plausible young man from
Boston came to Monson to see and
get the spaulding writing. 1t was a
time of considerable excitement con.
corning the Mormons, and lie claim.
ed to represent some Christian peo.
pie who wanted to expose Mormon
ism. He therefore begged the loan
of the manuscript for publication
Much against the wishes of Mrs, DR..
McKinstry, Mrs. Dawson consented
to let her husbands unpublished 70.
nance 60. Nothing was ever heard
from it again, and the family have
always considered that the bland
young gentleman was an agent of
Brigham Young's to destroy this
convicting evidence that Joe Smiths
Mormon bible was Of earthly origin.
The Rev. Mr.. spaulding was out
OF the active ministry in Ohio, near
Palmyra, we believe, running a small
iron foundry, and, being man of
literary tastes, employed his leisure
moments in weaving romance. 1t
was a time when the work of tho
mound builders was creating wide
interest, the implements of cookery
and war being unearthed, showing
the existence of a forgotten race
He entitled his production "Manu-
script Found" the idea being that
tile romance woven by the ex preach.
err was dug up out of one of the
mounds in the region. It was a his
tory of ancient America, not all writ
ten at once, but as leisure spells and
the fancy fell to him Mr.. spaulding
would add to it. His writing was
no secret in the neighborhood. Mr..
Spaulding was prevailed upon to read
his production to his neighbors as it
progressed. 1t was written in Bible
phraseology, and made as quaint as
possible. Among the attentive lis.
teners at these readings were Joe
Smith and Sidney Rigdon, the same
who founded Mormonism. Not only
did Smith hear the manuscript read,
but on one occasion he borrowed it
for week or so, giving as a reason
that he wanted to read it to his FAM
lily, who had been unable to attend
on Mr.. Spaulding's readings. Not
long afterward, it will be remember
ed, Smith claimed that an angel had
revealed to him the existence of q
buried history of aboriginal Ameri-
ca, the plates of which, it is alleged,
were dug up, and the book of Nor
mon made as translation of their
Inscriptions. The widow Of Mr..
spaulding and her daughter, Mrs.
DR.. McKinstry, of Monsoon, COM
pared the Smith Bible with the par
sons romance, and they were essen
TALLY the same. The similarity was
so overwhelming as to leave no doubt
that Smith copied in full the Rev.
Mr.. spaulding's writing, and made
out of is bodily his divine revelation.

The world is a world of glorious themes;
The world is world of wonder
As web and tissue of beautiful

To be torn by the world asunder.

She skipped and she danced along,
And, chiellike, laughed at the hum

mass
That was sweeping idly by;
And it made me glad to see. them pass
With bright and laughing eye.
So sang to myself a joyous song
A song on the happiest theme
To the crowd that was slowly passing
along
Like the mythical forms in dream.
So sang as l walked along,
Led by my baby guide,
And man came out of the midst of
the throng
And walked by my darling's side.
He was pale and haggard and wrinkled
with woe,
But his garments were rich and rare,
And diamond cleaned meath his vest
of snow
As it daintily rested there.
He walked for y while with downcast
eye,
Then stopped, with sudden bow,
And | heard the moan of an inward
sigh,
As lie kissed my darling's brow.
In the crowded street, mid the throng-
ed band,
All eager with hustle and stir,
