The Hook ol ilormnn is of prodigious size and .unexampled silliness. One mirvel.s that any one ever had I he per sistence to write down its endless round of repetitions of biblical words nn 1 phrases. Professing to Rive, in the (tlyle and language of the Bible, thn history of (ha Tribes from the lime of their disaf fection till they possessed America nnd became the monnd-bnilders, it is simply intolerable ns n piece of nrtislio woik. Yet ns it was found in nil miuiug-c.unps, where in the snowy fastnesses we often had unthing else left to red, it thus' fell to my lot to read it through not nnfre- (piently. From title page to colophon there is not ono lolly or inspired or In spiring thought, iilto those filling the volume it nfftcls to follw. A dreary, weary hook it is. And yet it answers the Mormon's purpose in this: that where he cannot find an excuse lor his notions in the real Book he can surely find it in tho forged one. After this huge man with the book nnd the deep hollow eyes had exhorted and preached nnd read for hours and hours, halting now nnd then as ho read, de vouring the whole camp nnd all that circle nbont him with his hungry eyes, the girl drawn even nearest of nil, nnd right under his eyes nnd right by the sine of her ignorant nnd fanatical execu tioners, he calmly nnd with earnest ex hortation beggtd to bnptiza bi llstouers in the faith of the Latter-Day Saiuts. No ond answered or moved. Many a long breath wm drawn, many a deep sigh was smothered, but no one spoke. The missiounry, ns he now announced himself, looked straight and hard and earnestly nt the girl. She lifted her weary black eyes to his once more, and tried hard to road If there was nny help or any hope nt nil in them. But she did not spoik. The mm nrose, went donn to the bank, dr.iklc n cupful of water, came bick and began to read atul exhort and explain nnd endeavor to proselyte once more. And so Ibis strange man kept on till the day was spent. No one had spoken save himself. No one bad tinted food. Rome of tho chil dren bad slept, their heads lis their weary mothers' laps, as they sat Id circle and listened nnd listened in silence, that long, long dy, under the vast bine sky, by the dark nnd desolate lake of death. And now mark! When that man va- doce reading and the snn was going down, there was not a weary and over come niau or woman there who was net awed or terrified or fascinated iuto some sort of half belle'!! Again the man rose up and pleaded for converts to his singular fnlth. He stretched his hands over the darkening lake as the sun went down; bo lifted his long arms to the montitalus of snow be yond the young city; he appealed to nothing low, to nothing bad, but to much that was noble m man and sub lime in nature. His lips were dry, bis eyes were deep aud hollow and wild, but be kept on till the sun bad fallen behind the steep bill that rose in on r road before us. Surely the man was mad. And yet a typical, ns trne n Mormon elder was be, as photograph could print. He mado a last appeal to the weak and now prostrate girl. Some one of the parly, wiser than the rest perhaps, beckoned ber silently to comply. She put out ber two bands helplessly, and be led her to the water, the men with the horses rising in their places nnd uncovering tbeir heads. Oth en did the came. Whether the Mormon missionary Im provls'd his brief ceremony and action, or followed the prescribed forms, it Is not Important to say.

Known as"ChincBO Gordon," ful. What had bo said to ber? What would he do now? Hind her over to one of tho bloody men there ns n bride? Keep her for himsell? No, mt this lust. Tuere was not 11 shadow of interest in her in nny one of the hard aud very deep lines of that massive and monk-like faoe. He stopped still a moment nnd pr.iyed. How new, strange, awful, weird all this was in the dim twilight by the dark ening lake of death! Sjim birds llew iu to cttnp Irom the hills. It was nslrauge thing, and the first time in a thousand years, that man had come to pitch tout in their resting-place. The moon, round-faced and full, lean ed out of heaveu nnd looked straight down, close down, cilia and pitying, like tho sorrowful face of a uuu at prayer. Surely in a scene like this, now at last, after all this suffering, this suspense surely, suruly after prayer nud biptism in the name of the JIos; High God she would be saved: sived iu body and In mind; saved in all her purity, nntl peaoa of mind, nnd love, and sympathy, ond sad memories of ber dear dend who lay burled ont yonder in the lake in chains. Tho horsemen stood waiting orders. Tbey had not tasted food or woter all thit lime they waited there iu the gr.is. These poor, deluded men believed they were listeuing to the voice of God. Tney were men who could not read their names. Never had Mahomet suoh blind, faithful, devoted following ns these bloody men hero waiting to do the work of death. It is notable that all false religions, all religions save the one religion of Christ, have had their corner-stones laid and cemented down iu blood. Tbey bare been built up by ignorauco and maintained in impurity. The ciaut missionary oame forward tip the bank, leadini the girl by the ham'. He was evidently worn "ml weik, but le was n:i full of mad zeal for his work ns over before He again appeiled for proselytes. No one came forward Then his furrowed brow grew dark and revengeful. He beckoned for bis fa towers to get ronly. Iu a mement more they were roidy tn spring into thosiddle. In the meantime he had motlaued to our parly tn toy in 11 keg of water, rouse up the resting cattle, yoke them nnd climb the hijl on our journey to Iho westl Oir party obeyed this last Injunction with alacrity. They could hardly conceal their pleasure. Yet n uicM'a persistent travel nnd ft day's dreadful anxiety fol lowing on Us heels are hardly t-alculifcd to charge any one with a superabund ance of spirits. In a little time the cattle were onco more iu line under the yoke nnd stand ing with nose lifted to the hill before them. The horsemen held tlgblly to their horses, one foot in the stirrup. The poor horses pawed the ground in impatience to reach trie water that ciirgled nnd talked on as it glided lo the set in the full-faced moon. Suddenly soma wolves bowled from the hill a little way tip the stream, nnd in spite of nil their tranquility the men were startled a little, nud fell to jerking and fretting their impatient horses. They knew what those wolves meant, It was the stnell of blood from the srece of murder on this same little stream on y a few rods away. The memory of it v as not a pleasaut one to these men, The wolves were too eloquent entirely. They annoyed the old missionary nlso, who still stood there holding the girl's band, still hoping for oue more convert possi bly, before these Gentiles should leave bis presence and pass away in pence. The wolves redoubled tbeir cries and came nearer each moment. This seemed to hasten matters. Tnrniug bis deep, hollo ejes to the girl, and inclining bis brad a little for ber answer, be asked ber if she believed. The girl hesitated, looked np.drnpped her dsrk, ssd eyes, looked up ogaiu, aud again tried to answer. The suspense was terrible. Every one Ieineil forward. Thej very stars up iu heaven stopped tbeir merry twiukle. Tba mtnii lsaued low aud Urge, nnd looked wth a patient, sympathizing faoe down iuto her eistoi a face upon earth 1.00 a If Tbo man was angered at her hesitation. He asked ber again nnd savagely. At last she whispered, "Yes." What was our horror to bear blm calmly, almost bitterly, answer; "Then God bo praised! You shall die In the Faith, my wife. And so we shall meet Bgaiu." TO BEOINTINtJED.

Ho lias been a great sufferer from Scrof ula, and the Inclosed letter u UI tell you what & marvelous clfcci Ayer s Sarsaparilia has had In his case. I think his blood must havo contained the liumor for at least ten 5 ears ; but It did not show, except In the form of a scrofulous soro on tho wrist, until about Ore years njo. From a few spots which ap peared at that time, It, gradually spread so as to cover his cntlro body. I assure you he was terribly allllcted, and nn object of pity, whon he began using your mcdiclno. Now, llicro are few moil of his ago who enjoy as good health as ho has. 1 could oaslly name Jlfty persons who would testify to the facts In his case. Vuurs truly, f. JI. riULLlpo." FROM THE FATHER: ;&5 a duty for mo to etato to you tho benefit I hare derived from tho uso of Ayer s Sarsaparilla. Six months ago 1 was completely covered with n terrible humor and scrofulous sores. Tho humor caused an Incessant and intolerable Itching, and tho skin cracked so as to cause tho blood to flow tn many places whenovcr 1 moved. My sufferings wero great, and my lifo a burden. I commenced the use of the SansArAntLiA in April last, and hate used It regularly 6luce that time. My condition hegau to Improve at once. The sores hare all healed, nnd 1 feel perfectly well In every respect being now ablo to do a good day's work, although 73 years of ago. -Many Inquire what has wrought such a cure In my case, and I tell them, as I havo here tried to tell you, AVer's S.utSAi-AitiLLA.
