A Sweet Voice.

There is no power of lovo so hard to
get and keep as kind voice. A kind
hand is deaf and dumb. II may be
rough in flesh and blood, yet do the
work of u soft heart, and do ii with u
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love so much needs as sweet voice
to tell what it means and feels, and it is
hard to got aud keep it in the right
tone. Ono must start in youth, aud be
on the watch night and day, at work, at
play. to get and keep voice that shall
speak at all times tho thought Of a kind
heart. But this is the time when sharp
voice is most apt to be got. You often
hear boys and girls shy words at play
with quick. sharp tone, as if it we're
the snap Of whip When ono Of them
gets vexed you will hear a voice that
sounds as If it were made up Of snarl, u
whine, and bark. Such u voice often
speaks worse than tho heart feels. II
shows more ill-will in the tone than ia
tho words. tits often in mirth that
one gets voice or tone that is sharp
and sticks to him through life, and stirs
up ill-will and grief, and falls like
drop of gall on tho sweet joys at home.
Such as these get sharp home voice
for use, keep their best voice for those
they meet elsewhere. | would say to
all the boys and girls: "Use your guest
voice ut home" Watch it day by day
as pearl of great price. for Il will be
worth to you in days to come more than
the best pearls hid in the soa. A kind
voice is lark's song to hearth aud
home II is to tho heart what lights to
tho eye.

NORM ON TREASON.

the Dust In salt Xake City In 1870.
& SALT LAKE Cry, u. II, Nov. 2s. Tho
investigation being held to determine
whether alien Mormons are eligible for
natural ixation was resumed before
Judge Anderson Friday morning.
Henry w. Lawrence, who was on the
stand when court adjourned Thursday
evening, was recalled for cross-exam-
ination, and the church attorneys failed
to shake his evidence. Mr.. Lawrence
stated that he believed the Mormon
people would become loyal il their lead
ers did not teach disloyal, doctrines.
A number OF witnesses testified that
In May, 1870, there was o big demon
stration in this city in honor of the re-
lease Of Daniel II. Wells from the peni-
Tertiary, where he had been committed
tor contempt Of court In refusing to an
swer questions regarding the endowment
house ceremonies. They testified that
procession OF many thousand Nor
mons went up the main street trailing
the American flag in the dust, and in
passing the Federal ourt-house they
saw Judge Emerson, who had committed
Wells, standing on the balcony and
yelled and hooted at him. ,:.,--.
The defense called Joseph Toilet to
refute the testimony given by Witness
Wardell in regard to the killing of
Green for apostaoy in 1862. Witness
testified that he had never heard Of the
affair before. =
The prosecution then offered in evil
dence paper served on a member OF the
Mormon church by Bishop Hisward
citing him to appear in the Bishops
court to he tried for obtaining q iudg-
ment in tho United States Court against
another member of the church for fail
ure to perform u contract. This course
fully demonstrates the charge made that
the church does dictate and control tenn
poral affairs.
Attorneys for the church denied that
polygamus marriages we're now being
solemnized, but when questioned admit
ted no record of such marriages we're
kept, and that they had no means OF
knowing if they were being solemnized
or not.
