MORMON CHURCH PROPERTY TO BE TAXF.D. —There seems to he a chance for a lively conflict between the Mormons and the United States government. The revenue officers have received instructions to tax the church property of the Mormons, and the many-wived are enraged. It is thought the Mormon official- will not submit, the Brig ham now has a chance to execute the threats he made to Senator Trumbull, to put the obnoxious officers outside of the Territory. BEECIIER says: ''Laziness is one of the most inexcusable of crimes. I know men j justify it sometimes because they have genius. If they have—which they usually have not —they are at! tho more guilty it they are lazy. For, if a man has genius, (and that is a term which, when properly used, means an organization so sensative that it easily goes into a state of exaltation, and produ ces renhs more fruitful than can be produ ced by ordinary means), the more he has of it the greater is the responsibility that God laid upon him to use it." SENSIBLE ADVICE. —WE commend the following from a Western journal of recent date to all men hereabouts who contemplate i '"going West-" We get letters every dey from young men who want to come out West. It is impossible to answer them all. We can say in general terms that a capable, ! honest and sober ycung man can do la tter here than in the East. The chances are in his favor. As Webster said, 'There is room above.' But there is no room here tor men who expect a fortune to drop outof the skies I or spring s|>nntaneuusly out, of ihe ear'h. It is a good deal here 8* elsewhere. Wc have to work tor jiur own bread, and those who work hardest get the most and best." . THE SWEDES IN MISSOURI.—An extensive cotton manufacturer near Stockholm, in Sweden, has just purchased twelve thousand acres of land in southeast Missouri, where he propo-es tocolou'le some fifteen hundred families of Swedish emigrants, and to try, i on a ginnd scale, the experiment of at once raising and manufacturing cotton. The j great manufacturers of Xw England are already turning their eyes toward the South and its p>culiar advantages under the Dew conditions of labor lor precisely such an experiment. If successful—and it can hardly fail—it will inaugurate a revolu lion the consequences of which are at , present incalculable. BEDFORD, PA.. FIIDAU, NOV. 5 1889. AUTUMN SUNSHINE. Mild as the glances of angel eyes, Soft us the kisses of first born love, Down through the haze of the Autumn skies Conies the glad sunshine from the realms above. Beautiful pictures it sketchelh now, Touched with the glowing hues of old, Painting the valley and mountain's brow With purple and opal and red and gold. A whisper of beauty the spirit fills, Tales of a land that fadeth never, Sunshine that glidetb the beautiful hills, Over tbe bank of the shadow river. Beautiful rest for the weary soul, Earth bath no beauty akin to this! Anthems of gladness forever roll _ Over these halcyon plains of bliss. Down steeps of tbe life's western bill, Beautiful sunshine of hope and light, Every shadow and hope dispel, litli my spirit trom realms of night. Soft as the beams of the Autumn sun, Sweet as tbe death of the Summer's flow ers. Gather thy jewels one by one, Take my soul to those fadeless bowers. INDIAN SUMMER. Just alter tbe death of the flowers, And before they Sre burried in snow, There comes a festive season, When nature is all aglow— Aglow with a mystical splendor That rivals the brightness of spring— Aglow with a beauty more tender Than augbt which fair summer could bring. Some spirit akin to the rainbow Then borrows its mngical dyes, And mantles the far spreading landscape In hues that, bewilder the eyes. Tbe sun from his cloud pillowed chamber, Smiles soft on a vision so gay. Aud dreams that his favorite children, The flowers, have not passed away. There's a luminous mist on the mountains, A light azure haze in the air, As if angels, whilst heavenward soaring Had left their bright robes floating there. The breeze is so soft, so caressing, It seems a mute token of love, And floats to the heart like a blessing From some happy spirit above. I'bese days, so serene and so charming, Awaken a dreamy delight— A tremulous, tearful enjoyment, Like soft strains of music at night; We know they are fading and fleeting, That quickly, too, quickly they'll end, And we watch them with yearning affection, As at parting we watch a dear friend. Oh ! beautiful Indian summer! Tbou favorite child of the year— Thou darling, whom nature enriches With gifts and adornments so dear! How fain would we woo thee to linger For our hearts, like the sweet a liaunls ur ture. Rejoice and grow young in thy smile. Not long to the sad fields of autumn Dost thou a last brightness restore, But thou bringest a world weary spirit Sweet dreams of its childhood ones more. Thy loveliness thrills us with memories Of all that was brightest and best; Thy peace and serenity offer A foretaste of heavenly rest. iUbrdlniumis. THE DRESS, NOT THE LADY. Nelly Blossom —a pretty name, is it not? sat in her dre-sing-rootu laughing as hard as she could laugh. What it could be for, I aui sure nobody could tell, for she was alone, neither reading, singing, or talking to her self She bad been occupied in combing her beautiful hair, and this was the situa tion in which she sat. A brush in one hand, a great mass of silky curls in the other, her voice ringing out in a succession of good, hearty, "ha. ha's." "What is the matter, Nelly?" asked ber mother, standing, smiling, at the door. "Ob ! I was thinking of something so funny!" cried Nell, springing to her feet, and plying the bru-h ; "never mind, moth er, I've got a plan in my head, and if I dc cide upon putting it into execution, I'll tell you what it is." At breakfast pretty Nelly was all smiles. "Shall yoo go out shopping to-day?" asked her mother, glancing casually toward her daughter. On this, Nelly began to laugh again; then restraining her.-eif on catching hct father's eye, she answered, "I haven't quite made up my mind—perhaps I may." "Ah ! contriving already how to make way with that fifty dollars Uncle Joe sent you yesterday! Well, Nell, make good use of it; there's many a poor man would feel like a prince these haul times, with fifty dollars in his hand." "I'll try to, sir," replied Nelly, her laugh ing eyes growing mote quiet in their ex pression. "Who did you -ee last night, Nelly!" a-ktd Mrs. Blossom, lounging over her tpearancc so th-* ' - recognized her. Throwing on at last. 4 dep brown veil to shade btrface, she wu.- ready. Agnes had received her directions to keep near Neity, both iu the street, aud in die store. It was a long walk to Lloyd, Shddon & Co.'s. There were three younv met; tbe firm was new, and the pattner.- tool an active part in tbe sales room, thus oveiseeing their business and economizing somewhat. Agnes acted the great iady to perfection. She shook out her silks, tossed her head a little, as if with the feeling that everything aboit her was entirely beneath her notice, vet she could condescend perhaps to hu> something, and sailing along the store, het finable-looking companion behind her, sh< pauted at a place where four clerks stood witl their eight hands all ranged along to getler, ready to jump over the counter, if neel be, to execute the lady's commands. Jelly stood quietly back, her face shaded by the brown veil. She saw Llyod imme diatdy leave a plain-looking customer to the dvilities of Sheldon, who was near him, and tiakiog a sign to the clerks he was left alone with the new customer. "I vant to see some uioire antique," said Agnes with the air of one who had plenty of money. "Cerainly, madam," replied the polite clerk; immediately taking out immense cases of the splendid silks, and spreading them btfore her. How much do those come to a yard?" asked Agnes, cunningly showing her gold. The ?oung man informed her, with a great deal of deference, turning over and display ng a great number of the goods. "These don't exactly please me; thej ain't coitly enough," said Agues, longing to look >ver toward Nelly and laugh. "Wc have very splendid embroidered siiks at almost any price," said Lloyd, de lighted hat he had fallen in with a custom er. who jeemed to have no care how much things tost; and with great trouble be took down other cases, catching his coat sleeve unfortunately in a nail, and tearing it nearly from sloulder to elbow. NelV was obliged to turn away then, lo c rncea! a smile. Meantime Sheldon had git through with his customer, and the young girl heard Lloyd say, in a murmuring voice, "Just look out for that woman there —goods are lying about loose." The indignant blood rushed to her fare. "l-n't she a customer?" a.-ked Shel iou in tke same tone. "No, servant, I expect; carry borne bun dles." said Lloyd, still in that suppre-od voice. But Sheldon did not seem to be sat isfied ; he came forward, faying in a gentle manly tone ; "Can I wait upon you mad am ?" Initantly Nelly experienced a glow of warmth about her heart that had felt the ri-irg of scorn before. She modestly re plied, "Some flannels, if you please. " "Be kind enough to walk over to the op posite counter. As I see the clerk is en gaged there, I will serve you," he said. Ndly followed with a beating heart. llow different this treatment from the unkind suspicions of toe more elegant Lloyd. 'V eiy cosrt- ously he waited upon her, forcing no goads to attention ; merely bowing if she was trot satisfied, taking down with alacrity whatever she asked for, so that every mo ment, as she looked at his fine countenance, her admiration grew stronger-perhaps an other sentiment increased also in depth and intensity. Suffice it to say that Nelly hought till her fifty dollars were expended, leaving directions for the goods to be sent to jx oertain place, to be paid on delivery. ' * As she left the store, Agnes threw the card of rich lace she was examining, and saying hastily, ' I'll call in again, bj'-and by," the followed her mi-tress. "Well," said Lloyd, drawing a long breath, "of all the internal " "Have you done a pretty good morning's work?'' a.-ked Sheldon, laying aside the parcels ho had sold. "G.tod morning, s work," muttered the other ; "I haven't taken a red cent, and look at the counter." Truly enough, the counter was a sight to be seen. Great heaps of silks, velvets, -bawls, and laces strewed it from one end to the other. "What did that girl buy of you?" asked I Joy d, directing a clerk to put up the goods, a full hour's work. "Nothing to speak of—only fifty dollars," returned Sheldon. "Fifty dollars ! why, I didn't think she WAS worth fiftv cents!" exclaimed Lloyd. "Can't always tell by the out ide," sai j Sheldon, smiling—"my customer was a real lady," he added. "And mine was —O, dear me!"—and Lloyd threw tack his head and laughed—so did his coat-sleeve. I thought you were sure for a hundred dollars at least," said Sheldon. "So did I." "I was afraid my customer overheard what I said," continued Lloyd. "O, no!" replied the other ; "she would have left the store ; but I am too suspicious of all who are not dressed in style. I'll be more careful io future." The lesson was learned too late. In a few months the beautiful Nelly Blossom became little Mrs. Sheldoo, and brought her hus band quite a fortune. It leaked out, aboui the shopping. SL'.M NATKAL HISTORY. BY JOSH BILLINGS. FLEAS. —The smallest animal ov the brute creation, and the most pesky, is the Fleas. They are about the bigness ov an onion .eed and shine like a bran new boot. They spring from low places, and can -pring further than enny of the bug brutes. They bite wu.-s than the muskeetoz, for hey bite on a run ; one flea will go aul over man's suburbs in 2 minnits, and leave him as freckled as the meazles. It is impossible to do ennything well with flea on you except sware, and fleas ain't afraid of that; the only way is to quit biz uess ov all kinds and hunt for the flea, and when you have found him he ain't thire. This iz one ov the flea mysteries, the facul ty they have ov being entirely lost jist az • ou have found them. I don't suppose there iz ever killed, on an average, during enny one year, more than 16 fleas in the whole ov the United States ov America, unless there iz acasuait ov sum kind—once in a while thare is a dog gits drowned suddeD, and then there may be a few fleas lost. They are about as bard to kill as a flaxseed * . * g- ■*—' * *• —r —* ®** v *"* ground pepper, they will start hizness again ■in a smaller kapital, jist az pestiverous az ever. There iz lots ov people who have never seen a flea, and it takes a pretty smart man tew see one ennykow ; they don't stay loDg in a place. If you ever ketch a flea, kill him before vu do ennything else ; for if yu put it off 2 minnits, it may be too late. Menny a flea have passed away forever in less then 2 minnits. BED BCGS. —I never seen ennybody yet hut what despised Bed Bugs. They are the meanest of aul crawling, creeping, hopping or biting things. They dazen't tackle a man hi dalite, bu' sneak in after dark, and chaw him while he z fast asleep. A musketo will fite in broad dalite, at short range, and give you a fair chance to knock in his sides —the flea is a game hug, and will make a dash at yu even in Broad way—but tha bed bug is a garroter, who waits till yu strip, and then pick out a mel low place tew eat yu. If I wuz in the habit ov swareing I wouldn't hesitate to cuss a bed bug rite tew his face. Bed hugs are uncommon smart in a small way, one pair ov them will stock a hair mattress in 2 weeks with bugs enuff tew last a small family a wLole year. It don't do enny good to pray when bed bugs are in season ; the only way to git rid nv them iz too bile up the whole bed in aqua r o rtis, and then heave it away and buy a new one. Bed bugs when tha hev grone awl tha in iend too, are about the size ova bluejay's eye, and hev a brown complexion, and wen iha start out too garrote are az thin az a urease spot, but when tha git thru garrotin' tha are swelled up like a blister. It takes them 2 days tew git the swelling ; out ov them. If bed bug- hev enny destiny to fill, it must be their sturumicks, but it seams tew me that tha must hev been made by acci dent. just asslivvers are, twe stick into sura boddy. If tha wuz got up for sum wjie purpose, tha roust hev took the wrong road, for there ksn't be enny wizdura in chawin' a man awl n'te long, and raisin' a family besides to fol 1 -r the -ame trade. If there is sum wizdum in aul this, I 1 hope the. bed bugs will chaw them folks who kin see it, and leave me bee, bekause I am one ov the herticks. A TEST APPLIED.— A correspondent of one of our religious exchanges says: "I once heard a conversation between a church mem ber and an infidel. After arguments were urged at some length on both sides, the in fidel observed to his friend that he might as well drop the subject of conversation, "for," -aid he. "I do not believe a single word you say, and more than this, I am satisfied that you do not really believe it yourself, for to my certain knowledge you have not given, for the last twenty years, as much for tbe spread of Christianity—such as the building of churches, foreign and domestic missions—as your last Durham cow cost. Why, sir, if I believed one half of what you say you be lieve, 1 would make the church my rule for giving and my farm the exception. " THERE is an implanted sen-o in man by which nature allures his heart to the charms of virtue in whomsoever ber lovely form appears.— Cicero. No good measure was ever proposed which, if duly pursued failed to prevail in the end Jefferson. VOL. 42: NO 41. TIIIKUM TO UEMEMBEU. Edward Everett became overheated in tcstyfyiug in a court room, went to Fanentl Hall, which was cold, sat in a draught of air until his turn came to speak; "but my hands and feet were ice, my lungs on fire. In this condition I had to go and spend three hours in the court room." He died it less than a week from thus checking the perspiration. It was enough to kill an> man. Professor Mitchell, while in a state of per spiration in yellow fever, the certain sign of recovery, left his bed, went into another room, became chilled in a moment, and died the same night. If, while perspiring, or while warmer than usual from exercise or heated room, there is a sudden exposure, from still cold air, to a raw. damp atmosphere, or to a draught, whether at an open window or door, or street corner, the inevitable result is a vio lent and instantaneous closing of the pore of the skin, by which waste and impure matter, which was making its way out ot ■he system, ts compelled to sect an exit rhrough some weaker part. The idea i.- presented by saying that the cold had set tied in that part. To illustrate; A lad> was about getting into a small boat to cross the Delaware, but wishing first to get an orange, at a fruit stand, she ran up the bank of the river' and on her return to the boa' found herself much heated, for it was sum mer; but there was a little wind on the water, and her clothes soon felt cold, which settled on her lungs, and within the year she died of consumption. A strong matt was working in his garden in May; feeling rather tired about noon, he sat down in the shade of the house and fell asleep; be awuke up chilly; inflammation of the lungs followed, ending, after two years of great suffering, in consumption. On opening his chest there was such an extcn .sive decay, that the yellow matter was scooped out by the cupful. A Boston ship owner, while on the deck of one of his vessels, thought he would lend a hand in some emergency, and pulling ofi his coat, worked with a will, until he per spired freely, when he sat down to rest awhile, enjoying the delicious breeze from the sea: On attempting to rise, be found himself unable, and was so stiff in his joints 'hat he had to be cerried home and put to bed, which he did not leave until the end of two months, when he was barely able to hobble down to the wharf on crutches. A lady, after being unusually busy all day. found herself heated and tired towards sun down of a summer's day. She concluded to take a drive to town in an open vehicle. The ride made her uncomfortably cool, bui she wanned her: elf up by an hour's shop ping, when she turned homeward; it being late in the evening, she found herself more decidedly chilly than before. At midnight she had pneumonia (inflammation of the lungs), and in three months had the ordina ry symptoms of confirmed consumption. A lady of great energy of character lost er cnnV nnrt *o rstir** r,pr tnr roui days; the kitchen was warm and there was a draught of air through it. When the work was done, she, warm and weary, wen: to her chamber, and lay down on the bed to rest. This act was repeated several times. On the fifth day she had an attack of lung fever; at the end of six months she was barely able to leave her chamber, only to find herself suffering with all the prominent symptoms of confirmed consumption, such as quick pulse, night and morning cough, nigbt sweats, debility, short breath, and falling away. A young ladv rose from her bed on a No vember night, and leaned ber arm on the cold window-sill, to listen to a serenade. Next morning she bad pneumonia, and suf fered the horrors of asthma for the remain der of a long life. Multitudes of women lose health and life every year, in one or more ways, by busying themselves in a warm kitchen until weary, and then throwing themselves oo a bed or sofa, without covering, and perhaps in 8 room without fire; or by removing the outei clothing, or perhaps changing the dress for a common one, as soon as they enter the house after a walk or shopping. The rule should be invariably to go at once into a warm room, and keep on all the clothing for at least five or ten minutes, until the forehead is perfectly dry. In all weathers if you have to walk and ride on any occa sion, do the riding first. REST. "Bold me, Auntie." What sweet trust and loving confidence were expressed in the dear little upturned face, as Edith, tired of play, stood at my side, with outstretched arms! " Bold me, auntie, and in an instant the child was folded to my i bosom. After a little time of silence and resting, "Auntie, do ymi ever wanttobe holded?" "Yes, darling; verv often." "Well, then, who tolds you ?" "I have the "Everlasting Arms ' around me. My dear little Edith can not under stand this now; but, as she grows older, I hope she will know it all. Though I can not fed the arms of my heavenly Protector, as you, darling, feel mine, sheltering yon. Ati 1 pressing you lovingly to my side, 1 know •'.at I am as carefully guarded and as | tenderly held. When you say, 'OurFathir | who art in heaven" you think of the Good Shepherd; and I am His little Edith, just as yon are mine : He lets me rest upon Him, just as you do upon me." A slightly wondering look, a gentle smi'e, and the little one was i fie p on my breast. Thus it is with us tull-grown ehildnn, tired of the toys of the world, wearied with life's trifling. 0, what a preciousness there is in the security of the Everlasting Arms !
