A Hare Sacrament.

Evidently the Mormon missionaries In
North Carolina are entitled to public sym.
dathy. The people there are too pa. ticular
The missionaries baptize their women con.
verts In state Of nature, so far as clothing
is concerned, that they may not take cold
their dry garments being left upon the banks
Of the stream for their immediate robing on
emerging from the water. And for this
kindly care in the washing Of their lambs,
the missionaries are to be driven from the
South BY people too obtuse to appreciate
the discretion Of the shepherds sent out by
President Taylor. Really the North Caro-.
linus need missionaries. A people who
cannot appreciate the grea, scheme Of sal.
walton presented through the medium Of
the Mormon Church need to be washed,
naked and thoroughly. Brother TAYLOR
should dispatch more elders to the Carroll.
mas, and call upon the authorities to pro.
tect them in administering this bare. backed
sacrament. Is It not an essential Of the
Mormon religion, and shall not all Worship
ers be protected in their rights: Is no,
that right OF the church jus, as defensible
US po'ygamy: Indeed, the baptism com.
planned Of is no more r~pugnant to moral
sens'bilisits than the plural ,narriage.--

Flowers of Reason.

No person can possess knowledge Of
every kind, but every one ought to learn
and know that which pertains to their duty.
Modesty tends to conceal our faults, and
the same virtue will also serve to keep our
accomplishments from being envied.
When religion lacks utility, and invites
observance because Of its prolessed sacred.

As we grow in years and experience we

The human family would be much hap

Hurry, Worry and Waste.

The London Lancet utters its protest
from medical point of view against over.
work and worry. We have, 1t says, too
many irons in the fire, too much business
on hand at the same instant, and are far too
energetic in our endeavors. With delibcr-
alton, calmness, and such reserve Of
strength as result from perfect restraint,
man may do an iniinity Of work without
either trouble or injury. Breathless haste,
eager anxiety, and excessive expenditure
Of energy are the outcome Of modern ac-
tivity, whether in this country or on the
continent. The system Of "quick returns"
has been the bane Of literature, almost ex.
tinguishing It and substituting in its place
Journalism" The same system has revo.
lutionized thought and science, and it is
rapidly undermining the human constitu-
tion. Statesmen and politicians are kept
on the strain Of sustained attention, and
their brains are for many hours in the
twenty. -four, whether in or out OF Par!ia.

looking to the utterly IMPLY Biological

a larger brain mortality to deplorc.

Henry Ward Beecher Is not a believer
In revivals and protracted hot.house PRAYER
meetings. He writes to . friend: "You can
no more grow soul In Eve minutes In the
heated and contagious air Of tabernacle
than can a juggler mature a rose on the
stage before you." Al Mr.. Beecher grows
older he becomes more bold, defiant, and
heretical. He was always very eccentric
and very extraordinary, differing from the
average man. With most psople As they
grow older they become more .everent,
ptous, and orthodox. Even old roues and
damaged beauties turn over new leaf and
become Sunday School teachers, colptrt.
eors' or devout deacons, but Henry Ward is
an exception to all rules-he discards his
o'd faith and practice and Is showing his
neel' on his way to join Bob lngersoll. II
ne keeps on he will over,ake Bob before
long.
