A Lawyers First Address.

There are few mental tortues more ter
rible than that which a young lawyer,
constitutionally timid, suffers when for
the first time he rises to address the court
and jury. No nightmare is more fright
full than those twelve men, honest and
true, presided over by the frowning ma
jesty of the bench. They are, then and
there, all the world to him, and horrible
world it is to his brain, bewildered by
the sight and a natural diffidence.
Mr.. John P. Kennedy tells of such a
scene which was turned into triumph by
the will-power of the young man and the
sympathy of the court. He said: ~ re-
member the agony with which the con-
fused novitiate arose second time, hav-
ing been but moment before compelled
to take his seat, in the hope to collect
his routed thoughts. His second essay
was not more fortunate than the first.
He stood silent for brief space, and at
the end was enabled to say, Gentlemen,
declare to Heaven that if had an en-
envy upon whose head I would invoke
the most cruel torture, could wish him
no other fate than to stand where I stand
now
"Curiously enough, the sympathy
which this appeal brought him seemed
almost instantly to give him strength. A
short pause was followed by another eff
fort which was completely and even tri-
umphantly successfully"

"Where will all this end9" sighed the
thoughtful Won Wart.
An hour later Albert of Austria was
brutality murdered, as the piotters had
agreed. Won Palm, Won Eschenbach
and Won Tegernfeld attacked him from
behind, and inflicted griovous wounds
upon him.
"Joannes, nephew, help me! help me"
cried Albert, despairingly.

and he buried his sword in his uncle's
heart.
Albert of Austria sank from his horse.
He was dying. His assassins fed in dis
may. Only now did they realize the he
nous character Of the crime they had
committed.
An old beggar woman had witnessed
the terrible scene from behind a neigh
boring tree. She hurried up to the dying
man and put his head in her lap.
Thus died the eldest son of the Emper-
or Rudolph of Hspsburgr
A few minutes later the escort of Albert
arrived, and active steps were taken for
the pursuit of the murderers. But the
after made good their escape. Albert's
consort, Elizabeth, a naturally cruel
woman, revenged her husbands death in
the most shocking manner. She had all
the servants and peasants of the four
knights arrested and Drutally put TO death.
At length Won Wart was caught. Eliza

Female Beauty in Uganda.

If beautiful women of the sable com.
plexion are to be found In Africa, it must,
I thought, be in the household of such a
powerful despot as Mtesa, who has the
pick of the flowers of so many lands.
Accordingly, looked sharply amongst
the concubines that might become &C.
quainted with the style of pure African
beauty. Nor was quite disappointed,
though I had imagined that his wives
would haye all been of superior personal
charms. But Mtesa apparently differs
widely from Europeans in his tastes.
There were not more than twenty out of
all the five hundred that were worthy of
a glance of admiration from white man
with any eye for style and beauty, and
certainly not more than three deserving
of many chances. These three, the most
comely among the twenty beauties Of
Mtesa's court, were of the Wahuma race,
no doubt from Ankori. They had the
complexion of quadroons, were straight
nosed and thin-ipped, with large, lust.
rous eyes. In all the other graces of a
beautiful form they excelled, Hafz might
have said with poetic rapture that they
were straight as palm-trees and beauti-
full as moons" The only drawback was
their hair-the short crisp hair of the
negro race-but in all other points they
might be exhibited as the perfection of
beauty which Central Africa can produce,
Mtesa, however, does not believe them
to be superior or even equal to his we'll
feshed, unctuous-bodied, fat-nosed
wives; indeed, when I pointed them
out t. him one day at private audience,
he even regarded them with q sneer.
Spoke. if | remember rightly, de-
clares that fairness In womankind is
synonymous with beauty in Uganda
This may once have been the case, but
it is certainly not SO now, for in few
women regarded with favor by Mtesa OF
his chiefs haYe seen any gross corpu-
lence of body. Naturally, where there
Is an abundance of good, digestible food
and the climate is agreeable, humanity Of
the respectable class will generally be
found well clothed in flesh, be it In
Uganda or in England, but it is some

spectacle class therefore consider super
f1uous rotundity to be an element of beau

Guide Me In the Path Of Right.

Father, all my soul goes out
In prayer oil trust to theel
SIN the longing and the doubt
Which do now abide in me.
Weak my strongest efforts are,
Vainly seek / for the light
That for me doth shine afar:
Guide me In the path Of right
Guide me, Father, lest stray
Far from thoughts Of heaven and thee;
Keep me in the narrow way,
Howe'er rough that way may be.
What care though feet may bleed,
It at last ] gain the light
Unto whichthe path doth leadf
Guide me in the path Of right.
Father, ever be my guidel
Then, whate'er my trouble be,
Peace viii still with me abide,
Clearly my way will see.
BE thou a. cloud by day,
As the flaming fire by night,
Ever pointing out the way
OF the Christians path Of right.
Father, how my spirit thrills
As speak thy hallowed namel

That beset my earthly frame;
i can put the tempter's wiies
And his every snare to flight,
II the Father on me smiles,
Guiding me in paths of right.

DIR. Guthrie's Pathos.

The late DIR. Guthrie was very diligent
in visiting, and quite equal to any emer-
gency. One day he came 10 the door of
an Irishman, who was determined that
the doctor should never enter his house.
"You cannot come in here" said he,
.'youre not needed or wanted" "My
friend, said the doctor, I'm only visit
ing round my parish to become acquaint-
ed with my people, and have called on
you only as a parishioner." SIT don't
matter" says Paddy, "you shan't come in
here's" and with that, lifting the poker,
ho said, eff you come in here, I'll knock
you down." Most men would have re-
tired or tried to reason; the doctor did
neither, but. drawing himself up to his
full height, and looking the Irishmar
fair in the face, he said, Come now, that's
too bad; would You strike man nnarm
ed2 Hand me the tongs, then we shall
be.on equal terms" The man looked up

The Original Book OF Mormon.

From the indianapolis journal.
About ten days ago Elders Orson Pratt
and ]. f. Smith, of the Mormon Church,
arrived in the town of Richmond, Mo-.
and sought out the residence of one
David Whitmer, who is said to be the
only living witness Of the translation of
the original manuscript as taken down
by Oliver Cowdry. The object of the
elders visit was to secure the manuscript
for deposit in the archieves of the Nor
mon Church, but Whitmer declined to
surrender it. 1t has been his custody
nearly eight years, and he declared his
intention of holding it until the proper
time arrive for its surrender to those en-
titled to receive it. The Richmond Con-
servator says that while refusing to sur
render the manuscript he willingly pro-
duced and exhibited to his visitors. They
unhesitatingly pronounced it the original
copy of the Book of Mormon, Elder Pratt
being familiar with the hand writing of
Oliver Cowdry, the writer. They offered
Whitmer any price he might ask for the
volume, but, Ending him resolute, left
him, with the request that he continue to
take care of it, so that the Church might
receive it at the proper time. The Con-
servator states that ''the book is in a
splendid state Of preservation, the ink as
bright as if written yesterday, and it is
inscribed on large paper, unruled, in a
small hand, clearly written close to the
edges, top and bottom, making over 500
pages"

Are Vat People sealthy1

Why are fat people always complainings
asks some one who ertertains the popular
though erroneous notion that health is syn
onymous with fat. Fat people complain be
cause they are diseased. Obesity is an abnor-
NAL condition of the system, in which the sac.
charine and oleaginous elements of the food
are assimilated to the partial exclusion of the
muscle forming and producing ele-
ments. In proof Of this, it is only necessary
to assert the well-known facts that excessive.
ly fat people are never strong, and seldom
distinguished for mental powers or activity.
Besides, they are the easy prey OF acute and
epidemic diseases, and they are the frequent
victims of govt, heart disease, and apoplexy

this disease. It contains no acid, is absolutel
harmless, and is warranted to remedy the
most confirmed case of obesity, or corpulency

Information from Washington relative
to this seasons tobacco crop is to the
effect that in twelve of the largest tobacco
growing states there is q considerable
falling off as compared with last year.
The tobacco yield OF Connecticut Valley
is the only one that shows an increase.
The falling off is not attributed to any
failure in tue crops, but to the fact that
small area was planted. Owing to the
agitation of the question Of the reduction
of the tax on tobacco, durirg the last
session of congress, tobacco was slowed
away and not sent to the manufacturers,
and consequently the greater part OF last
years crop is still on hand.
