NV Life is Like the Summer Rose

Nv life is like the summer rose,
That opens to the morning sky.
And ere the shades of evening close,
Is scattered on the ground to die;
Yet on that roses humble bed
The sweetest dews of night are shed
AS though she wept such waste to see;
But none shall weep tear for me!
Nv life is like the autumn leaf
Which trembles in the moons pale ray,
It's hold is frail, it's date is brief,
Restless, and soon to pass away;
Yet when that leaf shall fall and fade.
The parent tree will mourn its shade.
The wind bewail the leafess tree;
But none shall breathe a sigh for me!
My life is like the prints which feet
Have left on Tampa's desert strand
Soon as the rising tide shall beat
Their trace shall vanish from the sano'
Yet still as grieving to eface
All vestige of the human race,
On that lone shore loud means the, sea;
But none, alasl shall mourn for me!

WHAT THE MoRMONS BELIEVE.

An Outline of Their creed-Belief in Pre-Existence
Men to Become Gods-Baptism by Proxy-Mar-
RACES for Time and Marriages for Eternity Ex-
planned.
Tn the August Housekeeper Marian Bonsall
continues her intensely interesting series OF ar.
t;cles ON "The Tragedy of the Mormon Woman"
This months installment is especially devoted to
the subject of what the Mormon woman believes.
Clear explanation is made of the doctrines OF
proxy marriages and baptism for the dead 1t
is apparent that polygamy is the very cornerstone
of the Mormon religion, since it was expressly
commanded by revelation of Joseph Smith and is
directly concerned in the "exaltation" OF the
Mormon woman, which she can only achieve by
hearing a large number of children. A number
of unusual incidents which came under her per-
sonal observation during her Investigations In
Utah are related by Miss Bonsan. Some extracts
from the August article are given herewith:
The Book of Mormons, as is generally known,
is believed by the Mormons to have been re-
stored to the world through the prophet Joseph
Smith. By his own account, Smith, while living
in Palmyra, n. Y, in the year 1927 was given
records BIZ an angel of the Lord, which were en-
graved in Egyptian characters on golden plates.
With the aid of the Urim and Thummin. de-
scribed by himself "two transparent stones set
in the rim of a bow, fastened to a breastplate,
Smith declare he translated the 1nscrl"tlons INTO
the Book of Mormon.
Impartial critics. who have made the matter a
study, have found that the Book of Mormon is
a plagiarism from an unpublished novel by Solo
mon Spaulding to which Smith gained access
through his friend Sidney Rigdon. who came into
possession of the manuscript by circumstances
which have caused him to be believed thief.
The Doctrine and Covenants containing the
revelations given to Joseph Smith, are believed
by the Latter Day Saints, to be not only as sa
cred as the voice of God Himself, but the very
utterances of God, given through His prophet
and therefore as binding any command In the
Old and New Testament. This is, in short. wha
the Mormon man and the Mormon woman be
lieve:
That somewhere, is Celob, the center of th'
