S%ABBATHrDAY BEADING.
SOMETIME.

Sometime, ! know not when, -
hut sometime, / snail hear the angels call;
The day, the moment, is beyond my ken;
Perchance dark shadows of old age will fall,
And many hangeful years roll by ere then;
UT 1t may be when morning brcaketh next,
1t may be even this busy afternoon.
So full of duties, SO with cares perpleXed;
Would it be welcome if it were so soon?
Some a I know not how;
1t may be through long weary hours of pain,
With soothing touchsOf loved ones on my
brow,
And tender ministries bestowed in vain;
Or it may be by some swift. sudden blow;
W just to fall aslcep-Such sweet release
For Gods beloved ones there doth sometimes
wait:
through some door of suffering OF of
peace,
know that I shall pass the shadowy gate.
I know not hour nor way,
But God doth know, and there my heart shall
rest;
Content to walk straight on, from day to
day,
Leaving all choice to Him who chooseth best,
Only His voice each moment to obey!
Then when mine ears, attuncd to sounds so
sweet
Shall catch the rustic of the angels. wings.
My, lips shall answer: "Ready,' while to meet
Their coming ii! my soul c%xulting springs.

that ne believed Jefferson to be a ras-

again TOOK his seat in the gig.
During the conversation which fol-

prove to him that he was his friend.
No you WON'T said the boy. You

sWered Jefferson, and with that the two
parted.
Some months afterward young
Morgan, becoming disguised with
things about home, concluded to run
OIL and go to Washington after his
office. He stole out one night with
MS clothes in a bundle on a stick over
his shoulder and walked to Washing
ton: When he got to the city--it was
nothing but a muddy village then-he
was covered with dust, and his boots
were the color of clay. He went. how
ever, just as he was, up to the White
House, and finding the door open
walked boldly into a room where he
saw Jefferson writing, bending over a
table. He went up to him, and LAYING
his hand on his shoulder, said: Hello,
Tom Jefferson; I've come after that
ofice!'
"The President looked up, but could
not remember the boy. Noting
his amazed look the young
Morgan continued: There, I
told you you would not re-
member when l came here Jefferson
replied that his face was familiar, and
on Morgan telling who he was the
President greeted him kindly and asked
him to be seated. He then called a
servant and sent the boy off to be
brushed up, asking him if he had
another suit of clothes to which
he replied he had. He was then
given a room in the White House, and
the President told him to look about
for a few days and see what kind of
office he wanted. This young Morgan
did, and at the end of the first day he
told Jefferson he believed he would
take a colonelcy in the army.
president Jefferson laughed, and
told him that the colonies were always
old men. He must take something
else, but not to be in a hurry, to
look around and see the city. He then
sent a midshipman with, him. to make
things pleasant for him, and in a day
or two young Morgan decided that he
would rather be a midshipman than
anything else. jefferson at once gave
him the appointment, and he went on
a ship Immediately. He made a SPLEEN

Colonel Wintersmith, of Kentucky,
1old the following good story of
thomas Jefferson at the Ebbitt House
last night. I don't think it has aver
oeen published:
Said he: Zone day when Thomas
Jefferson was riding through Virginia
on his way from Washington to Month
cello ne came upon a boy trudging
along with his clothes in a satchel,
which hung on a stick from his Shout
uer' He stopped his gig and asked
the young mar if he did not want to
ride. The youth looked at him a mo-
ment in a bold way, and finally said
yes He was motioned to get in, and
n a moment he was sitting by the side
OF the President, who opened the con-
sersatlon by asking him who he was
ana where he was going. He replied
snas his name was Morgan, and that
ne was going home from school, and
vontlnued by putting the same ques-

ASSOCIATE JUSTICE Powers questions
applicants for citizenship as to their
practice and belief in the matter of CO.
habiting with more than one woman.
1t may never have occurred to the
Judge that perhaps the republic would
like to be informed as to the opinions
OF intendant citizens concerning the
wisdom of increasing the proportion of
albumen in human food, and whether
or not these children of effete monarch
les believe any further efforts should be
made to reach the North Pole. The
government is very anxious to get deep
down into the true inwardness of the
men that it admits to the happy
family.

lNAsMucH AS Associate-Justice Powers
has instructed his Grand Jury to in
vestigate the published suggestion that
Dickson and Mckay are pooling their
fees in unlawful cohabitation cases. viii,
His Honor be kind enough to inform
the inquisitors what they are to do in
the event that they find the assertion is
true? We do not find in the calendar of
crimes that pooling their fees" is an
offense punishable by fine or imprison-
mentv-Now, if Judge Powers should
charge his grand jury to ascertain if
Messrs. Dickson and Mckay pooled
their fees in "jack-pots," or pooled them
straight on the queen, case might be
made out against the gentlemen, pro-
vided, of course. that the pooling actually
occurred. But plain, simple, pooling of
fees, we fear, is not crime that can be
punished by the Associate Justice or his
inquisitors.

ASSOCIATE JUSTICE POWERS proposes
that the Grand Jury shall look after the
editorial columns of newspapers in his
district; it is rumored that Chief Justice
Zane will not trouble his inquisitors as
to what appears editorially in at least
enc newspaper, but will attend to the
matter himself, discussing his own de-
cisions editorially and revising the edi-
torial utteranees of his associate editors,
on judicial doings. The Chief Justices
way is easier and much more simple
than that of Powers.

AMERICAS DANGER.

Many of the editors of the United
States are sorely troubled over the
country's lack of adequate coast defen-
ses. The prospect of great war be-
tween Great Britain and Russia in which
much of the fighting would necessarily
be at sea. and the attack and defense of
naval forts, has given new terrors to an
assumed fear that is manifested peri
odically, whenever there is nothing
better to talk about The New York
Her aid, the other day, presented a map
of that city and its vicinity, and showed
conclusively that it would be an easy
matter for war feet anchored off
Coney Island, to lombard New York,

the city, and while this work of destrue-
ton was going on the hostile feet

forts guarding the sea approach to New
York. Anyone who has gone down the
bay and seen the wide-mouthed guns
gaping out on the sea, and noted the
solid masonry and earth enbankmants
here and there does not readily assent
that the city could be bombarded from
the sea; quarter of a century ago New
York. City was regarded as impregrable,
as it would be necessary for an attack

INVESTIGATING COMMISSION.

!
A good deal of abuse has been heaped
upon the Mormons because they asked
the President to send "a commission to
Utah ito investigate matters. 1t has
been said there was nothing to be
learned, all being known by the gov
eminent officials already here and that
they could advise the President as to
what could and should be done. The
Mormons did only what was right in
requesting an investigation. They asked
no more than the administration should
readily grant. The local representatives
may know the situation, but if so they
manage most successfully to hide their
information; and whether or not thew
know they are not the men to advise.
being incapable of fairness or of doing
Justice to the community. What
the Mormons want is an INQUIRY
by disinterested, honest men, who have
nothing to fear by hearing and stating
the truth and whose only purpose will
be to correctly represent what they
see and learn. A commission composed
o. such men would find in Utah the
most orderly and industrious COM
munity in America, bent in living
quiet, progressive, prosperous lives; on |
developing the country to its greatest |
possibilities and adding to the wealth |
and strength of the nation; the COM
mission would see that these people |
we're being bounded, prosecuted and
olundered by men in every respect their
interiors, except in the matter of the
power to Cypress and annoy. 1t would
'e represented to the government that
warfare was being waged ostensibly in
he interest of law and morality,
,ut the effect of which was
20 incite to lawlessness and inn
morality; that instead of society
being benefited now or prospectively by
he raid, it was being injured to-day
md for all time through the efforts and
operations of the parties who are repre-
enting the power and authority of the
lation; that whatever problem existed
lere in Utah, could not be humanely and
necessarily solved by pursuing the
course that is being followed.
The Mormons were right in asking for
commission to investigate, and the
administration will do wrong if it denies
hat humane and proper request.

DIVORCE LAWS AND DIVORCES.

Every time there is an exposure OF
the easy divorce laws of so many OF the
States, a moral spasm seizes your
average editor, and as remedy for the
evils complained of he demands that
the national legislature provide law
regulating marriage and divorce for the
entire country. We have before as an
editorial article in leading New Eng
land journal telling of the ease with
which divorces may be obtained in the
New England States, and calling on
Congress, to "next winter provide
uniform divorce law for the nation, and
put stop to the immortality which is
licensed and encouraged by the State
laws" 1t is amusing to read after an
intelligent editor when he writes in this
strain. If Congress were to pass
marriage and divorce law for the nation,
the States would simply laugh at the
act and make game of the Congressman
who knew so little Of their powers as to
vote for it. Congress has no more right
to pass such a law than it has to say
how drunkenness or shop-lifting in
New York City shall be punished; the
Texas Legislature could pass bills
for Mexico and enforce them quite as
well as Congress could provide ma
tional divorce law and compel the
States to accept it. Congress has or as
sumes the right to legisIate on any sub
ject for the District of Columbia and the
Territories, but it is restricted to narrow
limits when 1t comes to making laws for
States. The only way by which Con-
gress could obtain the right TO pass such
a law as indicated would be through
Constitutional amendment, and that is.
not readily given; hereafter Constitu-
tional amendments involving conces-
siens by the States to the national gov
eminent are not likely to be as freely
made as formerly.
The frequency..of divorces in many of
the States is scandalous enough in all
conscience, but can the laws be blamed
for the immortality suggested by these
easy separations? Men and women do
not marry with less consideration and
thought of the future because it is not
difficult to have the nuptial knot IN
tied. If it were impossible to procure
divorces marriages would be little If any
less frequent, and it is not certain that
the immortality would not be greater
1t is less immoral for men and women
to be legally disassociated from their
unbearable marital partners before
consorting with other women and men
than it would be to sustain both the
unlawful and the immoral relations.
Nor can it be SAID that it is either moral
or conducive to peace and good order to
chain woman to man against whom
she revolts. nor to tie man to woman
whose presence Is offensive to him. The
scandal of easy divorce laws" is a
scandal for which the immortality of So
ciety is responsible, and not the loose
ness of the statutes. Society is corrupt
and immoral, and while it shall con-
tinue so, it will matter little whether
divorces are easy or difficult OF pro-
curement. The immortality is in the
separation of husband and wife, and
that separation will take place what
ever the laws may say on the subject.

structed before ships could run into the
upper bay. Now, however, it is main
tanned that the advance in the enginery
OF naval warfare has been so great that
what were formerly the best of coast
defenses to-day furnish no protection
whatever. 1t is also said that if New
York City is in danger, every
other seaport is doubly so. and
the scare is raised that within ten
days OF the declaration of war, a
foreign army could be landed at any
port on the Atlantic, despite the best
efforts of this government to prevent
it.
All of which sounds a good deal like
talking for the sake of talking. The
United States is the best protected
country on the globe, and would be if
she hadn't fort on her vast coast and
was without ship of war. Her
defense lies in her people, who would
make it impossible for any hostile ar
my that could be gathered to maintain
itself on American soil, and in her re-
sources which make ornaments,
navies, ETC., things of quick time when
the occasion for them arises.
