The bird In the storm.

+ 1 p p V Il -. -
The rain was falling, the winds were calling,
The clouds swept over the sky,
When mid the alarm Of darkness and storm,
shower of song swept by
Says the little wee BIRD ."Tfs t.
..Ah. is it not dreary, and are you not weary,
Poor little wee bird?' said;
chow lonely and queer you must feel out here,
Just under the tempest dread
All. birdie, you'll soon be dead"
..while the. storm is ringing, is my time for
singing
Says the little wee bird to me-;
.sTho the clouds be dim yet MARBLE my hymn,
And die not, tho cold 1t be;
For my name It Is Hope" says she.
So the song 1t is gushing, and seems as If
hushng
The atmosphere, tempest-stirred;
Softly and clear 1t falls on the ear,
Thru clouds and thru darkness heard
The song Of the sweet wee bird.

One little ray of sunshine
To glisten in our path,
Will make the weary journey
Refused by more than half.
A kindly word of welcome,
A greeting with a smile.

For many a cherries mile.
Then you who dwell in sunshine,
Don't keep it all within,
That which we have not done before
tbs time we should begin.
There are shut-ins all around you,
Who love the sunlight sweet,
You have enough and some to spare.
Just brighten their retreat.

What to Be.

Be cheerful, optimistic,
Be willing to forbear
With every kind of trouble
And never to despair.
Be free from all suspicion,
Seek no motive for the act,
Accept all things with kindness,
Judiciousness and tact.
Be kind to every mortal,
But vet select a few
To bear the name of friendship
: And tread the road with you.
. And you will find that living
Is not dreary bore,
And life has many blessings
You did not know before.

i a Gold Brick Prophet.

S*t DR.. j. M. Buckley, in his series Of
letters on Mgrmons and Mormonism in
the Christian Advocate, describes what
he calls one Of the most astonishing
cases Of megalomania, popularity known
as !" sWelled head, ever recorded in
this country. It has relation to the
political ambitions Of Joseph Smith, the
ineffable prophet Of Mormonism. HI
In l843 Smith had his system fairly
well established at Nauvoo, Ill. He was
mayor OF, the town, general of the
legion, owner and editor Of the local
paper, judge and jury in petty cases.
His Uranium began to stretch enormous
" and it was not long before he be-
lieved himself a factor in the politics
sef the country. The Mormons had suf-
fered CLOSES and indignities' at the
hands Of the gentiles. Smith s first
idea seems to have been to dictate a
candidate for president who would be
friendly to the Mormons. His second
was to take the. job himself. In pur-
suance of the first idea, he wrote let
ters to Henry Clay and John G. Cal
houn, interrogating each thus: "What
will be your rule of action relative to
us as people should fortune favor
your ascendancy to- the chief magis-
tracy?' Both, Of course answered
that they could not make any pledges
nor could they promise anything spe-
cial to any people. Both. however,
seem to have missed an excellent OPP
portunity to rebuke the prophet and
to say some things about the spirit Of
Mormonism which weuldss have been
good for the country.
r Smith was not satisfied with the re-
plies Of Calhoun and Clay and later
declared himself a candidate for presi-
dent on platform which is interest
ing as showing what kind of a mental
and moral mountebank originated the
soscalled Mormon religion. It began by
declaring American liberty to be " on
the wane,'' and Offering Smith $ mani-
fold talents to the labor Of ebuilding
it. Then followed some. 8 planks =;
