DOOMED.

From present prospects, it appears that
the reign of the tyrant, whisky, in Ameri'
ca, is doomed soon to come to an end. For
years, good men of every class in society
have been laboring hard to effect his over,
throw. IT. has been hard fight against
fearful odds, and frequently under most dis
couraging circumstances. But the enemy
has been driven from behind his breast
works and out of his bitches, and the pros
poets of his final discontinue are certainly
favorable. The next conflict will be be-
tween the combined forces of both sides.
1t will, in all probability, be a fierce conflict:
The end to be gained is worth all the toll
and labor that have been endured, and may
vet be endured. Let the friends of good
order, Of decency, of morality, and of re-
ligion, stand firm and the tyrant whisky
will, in a few years, be banished from our
country. Let Christians of every nar1e
stand, in this conflict shoulder to shoulder,
and the victory is certain. Angels watch
the contest with intense interest, and the
emissaries of the wicked One are not idle.
In this contest, God expects his professed
people to do their duty.
A BAD LEGACY.-In 1917, when Brigham
Young led the first company of Mormons
across the plains, they experienced great in
convenience on account of the scarcity OF
fuel. When Brigham returned to the States
the next year he purchased large quantities
of sun flower seed and had it industriously
distributed along the route Of travel from
Iowa to Utah, so that future emigrants
might have the dry stalks for fuel. But the
sun-fower long neglected and being year by
year
= "Bornt to blush unseen
And waste its fragrance on the desert air,
degenerated to a wild and wicked weed. IT
is now the greatest pest that the Nebraska
and Colorado farmer has to contend against
Whole fields of grain are hopelessly smoth,
cred by these wild sun-howers which grow
thick and fast wherever they can get root
They are fit emblem of polygamy, which
is blight, whitening curse on civilization
wherever found. Ten thousand eXecrations
and curses are heaped upon Brigham Young
for his instrumentality in entailing upon
the farmers of the far West. But how
much more eXecrable should his memory be
for the part he has borne in fastening the
untold evils Of the last relic of barbarisnl
upon the innocent and helpless who have
fallen under his rapaciOus and remOrselas>
power.
Hsi" A prominent leader of the atheistica
party in Denmark, Prof. Hugaway, Of Co.
penhagen, gives this account Of his late con.
version to Christianity:
Sincerely convinced of the spendors o.
science, thought to have found once fol
all port of safety. That illusion | have
lost. For when the storm came and my
conscience was enveloped in grief, the soliC
ties of science were snapped like thread. II
was then that laid hold of the succorina
hand which so many had grasped before
me. l sought and found peace, through
faith in God. Since then without renounc
ing science, have assigned it to another
place in life. When all grew dark, anO
hope seemed extinguished, there remained
as was firmly convinced, but one resource
the Christian faith in all its simplicity
Happy the man who does not tarry until
too late, but while there is yet time casts
anchor in the ground that cannot be moved
