Tobacce-A Parable.

Then shall the kingdom of Satan be
likened TO grain Of tobacco seed, which,
though exceedingly small, being cast into
the ground, grew and became great plant,
and spread its leaves rank and broad so
that huge and vile worms made habita-
ton thereon. And it came to pass in tho
course of time that the sons OF men looked
upon it and thought it beautiful to look
upon and much to be desired to make the
lads look big and manly. So they put
forth their hands and did chew thereof
And some it made sick and others to vomlt
most filthy. And it further came to pass
that those who chewed became weak and
unmanly anG said; "We are enslayed and
cant cease from chewing it. And the
mouths of all that were enslayed became
foul; and they were seized with violent
splitting; and they did spit even in ladies'
parlors and in the house Of the Lord OF
Hosts And the saints OF the most High
we're greatly plagued thereby And in the
course of time il came to pass that others
snuii'ed it and they were taken suddenly
with fits and they did snecze with great
and mighty sneeze, insomuch that Their
eyes filed with tears and they did look
exceedingly silly. And yet Others cum
ningly wrought the leaves thereof into
rolls and set fire 10 one end thereof and did
suck vehemently at the other end thereof,
and did look very grave and calf-like; and
the smoke OF their torment ascended up
forever aud forever, and the cultivation
thereof became great and mighty bnsi'
ness in the earth and the merchantmen
waxed rich by the commerce thereof. And
it came to pass that the saints OF the most
High defled themselves herewith; even
the poor who could not buy bread, shoes
nor books for the little ones, spent their
money for il ard the Lord was greatly dis
pleased Herewith, aud said Wherefore
thi. waste; and why do these little ones
lack bread and shoes and booksy Turn
now your fields into corn and wheat; and
put this evil thing far from you and be
separate and deiile not yourselves any
more, aud ! will bless ron aud cause my
face TO shine upon yon. But with one
accord they all exclaimed; "We cannot
cease from chewing, snufiing and putting
we are slaves - Christian Sserehfry.

The CoLoRApo DEsEnr--There is an old

1t may, there can be no doubt that parts o'
southern California and Arizona are among
the hottest regions OF the world Neither

In this respect, than their relative, the
Colorado desert IN California, psotracted

The desert Occupies almost the whole OF

Southern Pacific railroad runs through
the center of it,, About 60 miles from Los
Angeles the railroad encounters avery
heavy grade 100 TO 10 feet to the mile,
and il continues for y miles. At the
summit, known as San Gorgonio pass, be.
gins descent into the desert and every
mile brings you to more desolatc coun-
try. At Whitewater Station, 20 miles
from the summit, tho desert commences

inches in diameter, grow on small stocks
five or six inches high. Large plants OF

white corolla and yellow centre, adds its
beauty TO the scene. and the only shrub,
