MORMON AN E CDO T E.
Ii is tcrv common for Mormons, in
working miracles, lo practice in the follow
ine manner :
One gne out alone, with tho garb and
with llto appearance of a poor travellei)
calls at the house by which those who are
his confederates may detect bis where
abouts. Another one or more follows nn,
and slops near by, so that in the mornine
he may soon teach the ab'ide of tho first
traveller, lo which place he proceeds
about brcakfat lime, coming there just a
his nrpdecesor needs him. The first
traveller about daybreak make? h piienti
noise, as of one in deep disltess, alnruiinp
tho inmates, and calling trVm arund hi1
bedside. For a while thi sick nun snug
gles with (luetic and apparently dies in t
lit. Jusi at that moment the second iravellei
er.teis announces himself a disctptc of the
Mormons, and declares it in his power to
raise the dead man lo life; and putting nil
aside from tho rouch of death, commence
his necromancy, and soon succeeds in
raising the dead to life.
A couple of these iniportprs went out 01

Methodist, making less show than some
but no less intelligent ohrisiiaii.or shrewdei
than mosl men. The traveller joined with
the family in their devotions, and talk
ed of God and heiven as a Christian. No
one suspected his hypocrisy.
About four clcok in the- morning (hi

liiile shocked to find his guest apparent!,

thinns in her demeanor toward hint
which might have led close observers to
tluuljt thai she fell for htm those tentle-
