Would We be Willing.

Would we be willing, if the summons came
To countermarch this life, to live the same
Once more?
Say pain and joy, and poverty and wealth,
Good days and dark days, illness and health,
Lived DER?
The new life just as the old one had been;
To find ike friendship and viler men,
As yesterday?
And would it pay? Life, like play,
Is relished as we go, from day to day
But stayi
Not many play is worthy of recall
The actors one by one come on, and curtains
fall;
They go away.
And shifting scenes, and music long and drea
Crates on the list'ner's weary ear,
We dread the play!
And so, as the children tire of toys and sleep,
At the close of life comes less and less to keep
Us here alway.
And then so many that have gone before,
And carried hope to a brighter shore,
Are saying, Come!
Those absent long, with anxious gaze,
Leading and lighting the darkest ways,
Would call us home.
Would we be willing to refuse their prayer?
All, no! Some day we'n greet them there
Some day!

"Secure on Gods all tender heart,
Alike rest great and small"
THE BOOK OF MORMON

How many people know anything
about the origin of the Mormon reli-
gion or, rather, of the Book of Nor
mon, which is its authority? l knew
precious little about it until this week
when | accidentally fell in with Mr..
Clark Braben, who has recently given
the subject most searching investi-
CATION. His story shows of what
stuff religion may be made. The
Mormons number nearly 100000.
They are divided in many sects, but
the principal are polygamous Briga-
mites in Utah and the non-polyga-
nous Josephites scatterd in various
places. The story may be given in
few words. The book of Mormon
was written by an old broken-down
Presbyterian clergyman, named Sol
ONION Spaulding. Spaulding was
porn in Connecticut in 1761. He
graduated at Dartmouth College and
settled as minister of a Congrega-
tional church. He made a bad fail
ure at preaching, and went into bust
ness with his brother in New York
| State, did not succeed and started an
iron foundry in Northern Ohio. He
| soon failed in that venture and be-
came very much discouraged. His
wife supported the family by taking
in boarders and he spent his time in
writing, though what, did not then
appear. The family moved to Pitts
burg, when he rewrote his book, ad-
ding second part. He afterwards
rewrote the entire book, adding a
third part. This is the origin of the
manuscript.
Now what became of it Spauldiug
made arrangements to have it printed
in Pittsburg. After a part of it had
been set up the whole manuscript
was stolen by farmer named Sidney
Rigdon, who was in the habit of loaf
ing around the printing office. Rig
bon kept it concealed for some years,
till he fell in with Joseph Smith, who
evolved the plan of reproducing it.
Smith belonging to a not very reput-
able family living near Palmyra, n.
Y. They lived in house and sup
ported themselves by hunting and
fishing and other means suspected to
be more unquestionable. Joseph,
one day, found remarkably clear
crystal, shaped much like child's
foot, and he declared it was ''peep
stone" in which he read the future
and discovered stolen goods, and on
several occasions was so successful
in predicting the locality of goods
and cattle that he soon came to have
considerable reputation. He then
extended his field of operations by
divining where treasures were buried,
and under his directions great
many diggings were made, unsuc-
cessfuly, however. These diggings
extended over large area, some so
miles or more, around Palmyra and
some of them may be seen now. He
fell in with Sydney Rigbon, who told
him of the manuscript. Smith soon
devised scheme for producing it
under proper surroundings. The al
legged book of copper plates was
found under divine guidance. on
which characters of reformed Egyp-
tians were craven. The book was
accompanied by pair of sqectacles
of wondrous power, which enabled
Smith to translate the remarkable
characters. This he did from behind
a screen, amanuensis took down his
words. The Book of Mormon was
printed in 1880 at Palmyra, N. Y. a
farmer, Martin Harris, putting up the
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1884-12-29
Keep the Family Together.

Father, set good example
To the precious flock at home,
After vain, forbidden pleasures
Never let your staid feet roam;
BY strong yet silken tether
Keep the family together.
Make your wife your dearest treasure,
While your welded life endures;
As you daily journey onward
Let her happiness be yours.
Be as one in joy and sorrow.
Glad to-day or sad tomorrow.
Let the children, too, be happy,
Never finding paths so sweet
AS the one that leadeth homeward
From the field or busy street.
Sunshine bright or cloudy weather,
Keep the family together.
Mother, let not pride or fashion
From your duty make you stray;
Never queen had fairer subjects
That awaits your rule to-day.
Sway your scepter not in blindness,
Rule in love, and rule in kindness.
Love your home, oh sons and daughters,
Prove you, each, light therein,
Making it a shrine of beauty,
And fold from care and sin.
: BY strong yet siTlzei tether -
Keep the family together.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1884-12-29

remembrance may give him pleasure.
Here our confidence was wounded.
Earnestly seeking for relic, one of
the party endeavored to impose a
worn bit of wood as part of a shin
gle from the roof, but our credu-
lity and faith in the person had its
limit, and closer investigation de-
nounced it as the remains of some
picnicer's butter-box. Near the shore
of the pond are built commodious
buildings for the use of picnic par
ties; and here through the months of
July and August thousands of poor
children get their one-day glimpse of
the paradise outside the close city
walls.
Returning to the village we enter
the public library. Among the OBJ
jects of interest are portions of man
uscript in the handwriting of their
authors Motley, Lowell, Holmes,
Emerson, ss Alcott, Lincoln, Gar
field; and a little blank book con-
tanning the pledges and names of the
followers of John Brown in Kansas.
Lastly we visit "Sleepy Hollow"
cemetery; vending our way by the
pleasant avenues, through the we'll
kept grounds, we ascend to "The
hilltop hearsed with pines," where
sleep the illustrious dead. First up
on the left is the Hawthorne lot.
"There in secusion and remote from men
The wizard hands lie cold.''
Opposite upon the right, the Thor
eaus'. A little farther on that of the
Alcotts, a beautiful spot, seven tall
pines forming a natural boundary.
and within, just room for two more,
Mr.. Alcott and Louisa. Still furth-
er on and among his kindred, lie the
remains of Ralph Waldo Emerson ;
asimpIe slab, bearing his name, marks
the spot unlike the others, there is
no costly monument.
| ''Secure on Gods all tender heart,
Alike rest great and small"
! With hearts and minds filled with
the associations of the place, we
leave the cemetery, and later, the
village, feeling that memorable day
in our lives had been spent here, CIV
ing US food for thought in many
days to come, and, we hope, that a
little of it may come to you through
our meagre description.
