They do, indeed!'' was the reply.
The old preacher was sitting in his
door, his coat OF, thinking dreamily of
his unwritten sermon. Avehicle drove
past, but he was still in the clouds.
3'WiH you please step over to the
church, STRIP startled the preacher
from his reverie; and he hustled ON his
coat and hat, wondering what the
gentleman could want at the little old
church. y
When he entered the church he found
the old sexton talking with gentle
man and lady.
1--WE want you to perform the mar
riage ceremony" said the gentleman
to the astonished preacher; and he
handed him card with the names of
John Wallace and Annie Harvey
written on It.
The old preacher laid aside his hat,
and. brushing down his white locks,
walked to the desk, followed by the
others. The school-children, seeing
strangers in the church with the minis

and whispered 70 each other their curl

In few solemn words the old minis

them his blessings, and kissed e'bride.

A Wise Conclusion.

One summer evening, after Harry
and his little sister Helen had been
put to bed, severe thunder storm
came up.
Their cribs stood side by side; and
their mother in the next room, heard
them as they sat up in bed and talked
in low voices, abodt the thunder and
lightning.
They told each other their fears.
They were afraid the lightning would
strike them.
They wondered whether they would

house would be burned up. They
trembled afresh at each peal.
But tired nature could not hold out
as long as the storm.
Harry became very sleepy, and at
last, with renewed cheerfulness in his
voice, he said as he laid his head ON
the pillow, "Well, Pm going to trust
in Cod"
Little Helen sat minute longer
thinking it over, and then laid her own
little head down, saying, "Well, dess

And they both went to sleep, with

LegaliZed Murder.
Domestic journal.

We are not given to recounting the
horrors of intemperance. They are
too CHASTITY, too piteOus to wiring hearts
with very often, but the "cry of the
children" will not ''down." Our good
friend, Laura Haviland, was recently
invited to speak in small Michigan
town, where lived German who was
kind and Industrious, save when under
the influence of drink. At such times,
in demOniac rage, the butcher knife, or
whatever came To his hand, was used
in driving his wife and children into
the street. He came home in this con-
ditiOn one night to find his little
daughter of nine years in the burning
heat of scarlet fever, and to turn all
out of doors. The pleadings of the
heartsick mother and the sympathiz-
ing children were of no avail. "1ll
take care of her; I'll cool her off ;" WAS
his brutal threat, and suitlng action to
word, he seized a pail of cold water
fresh from the well, stripped off the
blankets, and dashed the water over
the sick child, who was thrown into
commissions at once. The agOniZed
mother strOve with him, but still he
raved. "I'll bring her out of this"
and taking up ii bottle of camphOr set
ting near the bedside, threw IL handful
of the burning liquid upon the little
face SO dear to him, when whisky was
not his dwelling tiend. The poor child
gasped Once-twice-and died. The
true fatherly heart trembles with hon
est anger at such savagery, but fathers
legalized the saloon where this father
was crazed. viii not the blood of this
little one cry out against them also and
be required ut their hand

THE MORMON LEPROSY.
From the 81 IL 90 Tri1une.


The son of n polygamist told the
writer of this, recently, that his father.
some years ago. worked the whole sum-
mer through building a house or barn,
for which in the fall he received S4O0.
OF course $40 of that went to the tith
ing fund. OF the rest $3.50 went to
England to bring out two sisters, whom
he married as soon as they arrived
here. He added: "At that time my
little brothers and sisters and myself
had no shoes to wear, no comfortable
clothing, and not enough to eat. At
the same time the English girls were
stolen from home; they packed their
clothing aud sent it off to a neighbours
first; then when their father was alb
sent, they ran away to the coast, leav-
ing note which put their father on
the wrong track they had timed the
performance so there should be no de-
lays and when the father, suspecting
their intention, rushed to Liverpool to
intercept their flight, the ship with
them on board had proceeded to sea.
He said further that when his father
was a missionary in England neigh
Dor of theirs sent him sos, with in
structiOn to pick out some girl who
The order was obeyed the woman was
sent out and on landing went directly
to the house of the man to whom she
had been consigned, as though she
were a bale of rags or IA Norfolk pOlled
heifer. He further says that such
cases are common and always have
been. This is worse than importing
Chinese or DagO contract labOrers. If
the matter cannot be reached by law,
there certainly ought to be more
general distribution of the facts about
MOrmOnism in the old country. We
think in this respect Il revulsiOn is go
ing on against the creed already in
Great Britain. This same mans father
is on a mission in Great Britain now,
and the son showed letter received
from him recently, in which he said
"Things are very dull here this
country is done with MOrmonism."
The facts will he found out after
awhile, but in the meantime, if no
other plan can be devised to stop the
importation of Mormon contract harem
labOrers, means should be taken to
make it impossible for them to acquire
homes in the United States. There is
no particular promise of strength to Il
nation, when the mothers of the race
are degraded enough to contract to be-
come the pOlygamOus wives of any
brute who will pay their fare across
the ocean.

Christmas BOnbOns.

For the benefit of those who find
pure, fine confectionery not easily OBJ
tainable, we give the following direc-
tiOns for making the creams which
| form the basis of most of the delicious
French candies. By using the differ
ent kinds of nuts, raisins, figs, citrOn,
cOcoanut, chocolate, and various flaw
Orings. almost an infinite variety can
be made, and the little ones can have
their festal indulgence of candy dainty
and wholesome. A small sum expend-
ed for pretty papers or fancy boxes
will give them all the charm of the
products of cOnfectiOners, and mamma
can have the satisfaction of knowing
that the feast is harmless. These di-
rectiOns are given by Juliet COrsOn in
Harper's Bazaar:
No. |. Put Il pound of loaf sugar
and IA half-pnt of cold water over the
fire in thick saucepan and boil it I'M
til it ''balls"-that is, until little of
the sugar cooled in cold water can be
rolled to n ball between the wet fin
gers. About third of an even tea
spoonful of cream of tartar should be
added when the sugar is first placed
over the fire, to prevent granting.
When it "balls," remove from the fire
and let it cool in the saucepan five
minutes. Meantime beat stiff the
whites of five eggs. Hold the sauce
pan over the bowl containing the
