Why Aunt Bailie Never Married.
"Now, Aunt Sallie, do please tell us
why von never got married, lou ro
member you said once that when you
were a girl yon were engaged to a
minister, and promised us you would
tell us about It some lime. Njw,aunt,
pleaso toll us.
'noli, yon sea, when l was about
sovontocn years old I was living in
Utica, In tho Hlato ol Aow lurk
Though I say It myself, I was qulto a
good looking girl tben, and bad sev
eral beaux. Tho one that took my
fancy was a young minister, a very
promising young mun, and roniarku-
b!v pious and aloadv. Ho thought a
good deal of rue, and I kind of took a
ranoy to bim, and things went on ontil
ws were engaged. Una evening be
came to me, and put bis arras around
mo and kind of hucired mo. when
got excited and soma duslrated. It
waa a lonur limn aao. and 1 don't know
but what I might have huggod back a
littla. 1 waa Tike any other girl, and
pretty soon I pretended to be mad at
it, and pushed him away, though 1
wasn't mad a bit. You must know
tha house where I lived was in one of
the back streets of the town. Thoro
were rinse doors in the parlor wbic
oponed over Ilia street. I'hese doors
were drawn to. I stepped back a little
from him, and when ho came up close
1 pushed him back again. I pushed
him harder than 1 intended to; and
dont you think, girls, the poor fellow
lost his balauco and fell through ono
of tho glass doors Into the street."

Ovenrork-A Sensible Protest.
'? A great amount of very pornlcloui
twiddle hai lately boen published on
tba subject oi the alleged overwork in
which many of the greatest, and pos
iibly some of the least, men of the
present generation indulge, in tba pur
suit either of wealth and fnmo, or high
social position. Work is divino.
Without work, human life would be
Intolerable, and man would be liltlo
else than a sponge, an oyster, or a
limpet upon the rock, which, only ex
ists to imbibe the nourishment that
they are too imbecile or too powerless
tb seek. But liko all tho abundant
blessings spread around mankind,
-oik is only hosutltul and good in Its
decree! It must be used, and not
abused. ., loo much of anything is
not good for ns. Yica itself is bnt
virtue degenerated and dissipatod by
being forced into extremes.. In liko
manner, work, if not carried bevoad
the point at whioh ail tha f unctions of
mind and body are exercised without
undue strain upon either, is one of tho
greatest, if not tbo very greatest of all
ihe blessings that are showered npon
tbo human race. There ia fur too
great a disposition in all conntrio to
look upon labor aa something inflicted
non man as a ourse lor his disobodi-
enco, to interpret literally, and not
according lo tbe spirit, the penalty
luid noon Adam, and lo take advant
age of tba misintorprclationt to shirk
labor altogether, or to Impose It in-
uly upon the .weaker.. This doctrine
requires not only discouragement, but
isprooli for tbe inevitable rosult of
Us adoption would tie either to reduce
men lo tha state of savagee, when the
only labor undertaken would ba that
of the cmise ol wild animals or the
csptnra of birds and fish to provide
food for the sustenance of life, or the
establishment of slavery, when nono
but slaves would work upon tha com-
pulsion of their lord and masters.
But work, looksd upon with the aye
of renson, is the choicest advantage of
our mortal state, the only motive
power that keeps not only men, but
the solar system and all the countless
orbs of the boundless universe ol God,
n a condition ol healthy and progres
siva perpetuity.

his hand Is dry, he has tnorely to dip
it In water, and ho may hold hid hand
for a certain timo in 'thnt stream of

nubhcly at a meeting oi ma Ornish

to that condition by Intense bent that
it forms a sort ol film, br atmosphere,

horein given was vouohed for in my
preseaco by a man who was above
deceit. The origin of the "Book of
Mormon," so called, Ins been a pernio
to many, much of It "being evidently
the production of a cultivated mind,
and yet springing to right from the
nanus oi unieraui men.
It was written, in 1812-13, as a. lit
erary" recreation, by Kov. Solomon
Spaulding, a graduate, of Dartmouth
Collogo, at that time residing in New
Salem, Ohio; and, oa ho wrote it, it
professed to ba a historical romance
of a lost race, the remains of whose
numerous mounds and inscriptions
are found on the banka of tho Ohio.
After tha work bad been comploled
the author had thought! of having il
printed, and for Hist porposo fas gave
Ihe manuscript into the bands of a
nrintsr. in whoso office it remained
for sovorsl yosrs, but the design of
printing waa not earned into execu
tion. ' Aa foreman in tho printing
office wboro Mr. Bpaulding's romance
was lodged waa employed Sidney JUg-
don, who afterward figured conspicu
ously in Mormon history j and there
is no doubt that ha copied the manu
script and subsequently gave it to
Smith. Upon tha appearance of the
Book of Mormon, iu 1H30, there wore
those living to whom Mr. Spaulding
had read parte ot bia romance, and
they recognised bis verbiage in the
book. Upon search the original man
uscript waa found among tba papers
of the deceasod elcrgyman, and on
comparison lbs Mormon iJiols proved
to have been not materially altered
from tbia parent text. Of course thr
discovery soon mode considerable talk.
A great many people went to see the
manusoript, and at tha expiration of
a lew weeks it mysionuumy disap
peared. As ibero waa a Mormon
preacher in New Sulom at the time,
with prosolytes at bis heels, tbe mys
tery of tho disappearance was not
