A PRACTICAL RELIGIoN.-We want a
religion that softens the step and tunes the
voice to melody, that checks the impatient
exclamation and harsh rebuke; a religion
that is polite, deferential to superiors, cour-
teous to interiors and considerate to friends !;
a religion that goes into the family, and
keeps the husband from being cross when
dinner is late, and keeps the wife from fret
ting when the husband tracks the newly
washed floor with his muddy boots, and
makes the husband mindful of the scraper
and the door mat; keeps the mother patient
when the baby is cross, and amuses the
children as we'll as instructs them; cares
for the servants besides paying them up
promptly; projects the honeymoon into the
harvestmoon, and makes the happy home
like the Eastern fig tree, bearing in its
bosom at once the beauty of its tender
blossoms and the glory of the ripened fruit.
We want religion that shall interposee
between the rust and gullies and rocks of
the highway of life, and the sensitive souls
that travel over them.

MoRMoNs IN North CAROLINA.

Mormon missionaries have been max
ing many conveSfs in North Carolina. A
few days ago they baptized seven women
and three men in Duncan creek, near
Rutherford. A correspondent telegraphs
the affair as follows: Several hundred
people, about half being women, gathered
on the banks to witness the cerenO ny.
The place was lit up by pine knots and
torches The converts and missionaries
arrived about o'clock, and went into a
small house adjacent, and when night fell
the entire party of converts, male and
female, accompanied by the four mission
aries, left the building, all of them en-
tirely naked At first, as they marched
to the water, there was a murmur of sur
prise among the crowd, soon followed by
misses; but they did not interfere with the
party. The rite was performed in the
middle of the creek, where the water was
scarcely waist deep, two of the mission
aries carrying pine knots in their hands.
After the ceremony u committee of citi-
zens waited upon the Mormons and gave
them notice TO quit the country at once
on pain of summary Justice Several of
the women in the party are quite pretty,
and have borne good characters. The
MormOns are demOralized, and gave as
surance that they would leave for U tab, -

ignorance, exclaimed Gov. Tabor, and

he added:
MAYBE will introduce You to Dave
when he comes. And that you may
spruce up little, here is dollar fol
