And she began by trying that very day;
while the precept was fresh in her mind,
she got along pretty well, but it was nut
many days before her mother discovered
her room in no very orderly c ondition.
'You have lost your secret, I fear, Fan
ny,' she said, as she looked in upon her.
•Oh, no, ma! I have not lost, but only for
gotten it for a little while. But I will try
to keep the recollection of it as fresh as

'lt is worth all the trouble it may cost
you, Fanny, to acquire a habit of order.—
After this habit is once formed, it. will be
like a second nature to you.'
'know it, ma, and am determined to

me of every little omission that may come

Mrs. Fairfisld promised that she would
do so. And whenever she found her daugh

the secrat she had obtained from Caroline.
Gradually Fanny acquired, by steady per
severance in adhering to:her rule of order,
the habit of order itse'f, and then she had
no trouble; for it was as natural for her to
replace a thing properly, as it was fur her

valuable lives have been sfrerificed, and an
immense amount or rnonev E x trended; and '
of course the people are rather anxious to
ascertain whether the savang and other

but quarrel. We understand that there was

Tilghman Literary Society.
We have received a c - ipy of an Addretzs
delivered before this Society, by John:A
Wills, Esq, The speaker has travelled
out of the.ordinary Course pursued by lec
turers on such occasions, and, we are in
clined to think, has acted wisely in so do.
ing. Instead of lightly skimming over a
multiplicity of subjects, he has confined
himSelflo one, which is certainly of suf•
cient importance to furnish matter for a
work much more extended than an evening
lecture—he spoke of the "necessity for a
radical reform in the Orthography of the
English language."
Mr. Wills classes the defects of our or
thography, under six different heads: The
first is that our alphabet does not contain
letters enough to represent the simple
sounds or the language; consequently,. the
same letter is often made to represent two,
Three, and even four different sounds.—
The second defect is the use of silent let
ters, which, the lecturer justly remarks,
"serves only to embarrass and perplex."
The third defect is the making of simple
sounds which have appropriate letteift, by
combinationsot letters, which, according
to their correct sounds, hive no natural
' aptitude in them; as the sound a in man y
words is made by ey, eig-h, as in convey,
inveigh, Sic. The fourth defect is the u
surpation, by some letters, of the approe
priate sounds of others: as for example, k
often has the sound of c—f of g, &c. The
fifth defect is the difference between the
names and sounds of letters. Take as ex
amples the letters called 'double you."ef,'
qvy,' 'ess', these names are w h o lly differ
ent from their sounds in spelling. The
sixth defect is the want of syllibication.—
The letters aro all thrown together in one
rnas:;, without any thing to indicate the
particular letters forming the syllables that
make up their correct proronciltion.
To amend thes3 errors and remedy these
defects, Mr. W. urges the adoption of the
following principles: 1. That the names of
the letters shall be identical as far as posFi•
hie with their sound. 2. That each simple
sound shall have a distinct letter to repre
sent it; and that each letter, like riltes in
music, having but one sound, no letter
shall be allowed to usurp the sound of an.
other. 3. That no silent letters shall be
used. 4. That in writi?_g and
off into syllables in such a way that the
correct syllables of each word dial] be in
dicated, and a correct pronunciation by all,
literate and illiterate, insured.
rowo cool
We have thus given an outline of the
very importat changes proposed by the
lecturer, and have tatter) some pains to do
so, because he had evidently bestowed
much care and reflection on the matter,
and it is but just that his theory should have
publicity. It is worthy of consideration
even if it shall fail to be adopted or acted
on. one section of the reforms recommen
ded, is certainly practicable, and would
save much trouble and perplexity to learn
ers—the disuse of silent letters. Nor do
we see why all terminations (at least) hav
ing the sams sound, should not bu spelt
alike.
But we have neither time nor room to
kullow Mr. Wills through his propositions
—we will only say that they are always
plausible and frequently able—and coin
' mend them to public attention.
We find in the Boston Bulletin, a re—
view of the work recently published by the
notorious Bennett, giving a history of the
rise and progress of the "Latier Day
Saints" from the early days of Joe Smith,
to the present time. No confidence can

able lies and perversions which, 'rto cliubt
characterise the work, Much truth may be
found. The history of nine Smith is in
teresting, as portraying a man arnbilious,
deceitful, and , possessing a degreE) of din
ning, which fits him remarkably , . well for
the task which he has so successfully cur—
ried out.

"The discoNery of the book of gold is
thus related:—"Fie repaired to the place
of deposit° and demanded the book, which
was in a stone box, and so near the top of
the ground that he could see one end of it,
and raising it. up took out the book of gold;
but fearing some one might discover where
he got it, he laid it down to place back the
tot) stone as he found it; and turning round,
to his surprise there was flu book in sight.
He again opened the box, and in it saw
the book, and attempted to take it out, but
was hindered. He saw in the box, some-
thing like a toad, wl.ich assumed the ap
pearance of a man and struck him on the
side of his head. Nut being discouraged
at trifles, he again stooped down and strove
to take the book, when :he spirit struck
him avin and knocked him three or four
rods, and hurt him prodigiously."
The Golden Bible, or Book of Mormon,
was first published in 1930, being written
much in the style of the old Testament, and
giving an account of the departure of the
Lost Tribes of Israel from Jerusalem un
der command of Nephi and Lehi—their
journey by land and sea, till they arrived
in America—their quarrels and conten-
Owls until the Nephites were entirely de•
strayed by the children of Lehi, who after
wards dwindled in unbelief, and became a
dark, lothsome, and filthy people—to wit,
the American Indians.
The first Mormon Church consisted of
six members; and after a number of con
vet ts the prophet received a revelation from
Heaven, that the "Saints" should remove
to Kirtland, Ohio, and there take up their
abode. Many obeyed the command—sel
ling their possessions, and helping each
other lo settle in the spot designated. The
place was the Read Quarters of the church
and the residence of :he Prophet until
1838.
The leac'ers in this community having
become deeply involved in debt, by trading
and their eff)rts to erect a Temple, in 1837
the far famed Kirtland Bank was put into
operation without a charter. When the
notes 11 ere first issued, they were current
in the vicinity, and Smith took advantage
of their credit to pay off with them the
debts, he. and the brethren, had contrac
ted in the neighborhood for land, &c.—
The eastern creditors, however, refused to
take them. This led to the expedient of
exchanging, for the notes of other banks.—
Accorciing)r the elders were sent off thro'
the country to barter off Kirtland money,
which they did, with great zeal, and con
tinued the operation, until the notes were
not worth twelve and a half cents to the
dollar. As might have been expected,
this institution, after a few months, explo•
ded, involvinc , Smith and hiss brethren in
inextricabl- difficulties. The consequence
was, that he and mist of the members of
the church, set off in the spring of 1838, for
Fat West, Mo., being pursued by their
creditor., but to no effect. (pps 135 136.)

g become very arrogant, claiming the
land as their own by a title directly from
the LOT d, and making the most haughty as
sumptions—they had so exasperated the
citizens, that in several places where they
attempted to locate, mobs were raised to
drive them from the country. Smith and
his associates from Kirtland, brought them
to a stand. His Apostles and Elders were
instructed to preach that it Was the will of
the Lot d, that all his followers shoeld as
semble in Caldwell county, Mo., and pos
sess the kingdom—that power would be
i given them to do so, and that the children
I of God were not required to go to war at
their of expense, It was estimated that
the, Mormons now numbered in this corm
'
; try, and in Europe, about 40,000. The
jscenes of depredation which brought on
the Missouri war—a struggle between the
Mormons and civil authorities of the state
I —are matter of history. The result was
their entire expulsion from the state—and
the capture of Smith and several of the
ringleaders, who after several months' im
prisonment, found means of making their
escape to Illinois, whither their comrades
had been driven.
The Mormons, as a body, arrived in Illi
nois in the early part of 1839. At this
time they presented a irpectacle of' desti
tution and wretchedness, almost unexam
pled. This, together with their tales of' '
persecution and privation, wrought power
fully upon the sympathies of the citizens,
and caused them to be received with the
greatest hospitality and kindness. In the
winter of 1340—they applied to the legis
lature of this state to charter the City of
Nauvoo, which is situated on the Missistipi
river at the head of the Lower Rapids—a
site equal in beauty to any on the river,—
They asked also, for other and peculiar
chartered privileges, and such was the de•
sire to secure their politiCal favor, that they
were granted for the asking. The pro
gress of the church, from this time to May
1842 was rapid; the city of Nauvoo having
reached a population of 10,000 in number
—the legion, consisting of 2.000 soldiers,
well drilled and disciplined; and the whole
Mormon strength. as has been publicy eta
ted, being ab tut 100,000 souls. The Pro
phet was in frequet.t communion with Hea
ven and taught that his Nauvoo was a
resting place only, that thera was to. be a
great gathering of all the Saints, to con
quer Missouri, and rear the great Temple
in Zion, from which they had been driven',
and build the new Jerusalem there.

THE GREAT DIDDLE SALE
AT ANDALUSIA.
FULL PARTICURARS.
We had an article on Monday front the Phila.
Times, stating that the Palace of the great finan
cier under went a sham sale, and had been snugly
bought in by his wife. The Sp:rit oPthe Times
contains the following full account of the mat
ter. Every day gives fresh hope that Mr. Biddle'a
Trenton prediction concerning the Penitentiary
will be fulfilled. The Times says: "the facts are
these, and they may be depended upon as true to
the fiery letter!
Andalusia, is perhaps one of the loveliest spots
in nature, and thousands upon thousands of dol.
lets have bees lavished upon it, in order to in
crease its attraction, its productiveness, and it s
value. Its estimated worth is about two hundred
thousand dollars. There are three mortgages
upon it. Thefi rst is a mortgage dated 20th
' April, 1814, fur seventeen thousand dollars, to Mr.
Miller, executor ofJobn Craig, En!. the father.in
laW of Nicholas Diddle. The second is a mort
gage to John Gibbs, for ten thousand d..llaVs of
about the same date. The third is a nier:tgage
dated 28th July, 1841, in favor of the son of Ni
cholas Biddle, for one hundred and thri e thou ,
sand one hundred and thirty•three dollars 33 cents.
Upon thefirst mortgage of $17,000, which is
now held in trust for Mrs. Biddle, bo intrrtst had
been paid from its date up to the time of suing out
the writ of Si i. Fa. The writ was du'y sorved on
Mr. B. lie did not appear, and of con se jaclg. •
ment was entered by default for forty thousand
and three d dlars 25 cents, being the amount of
the mortgage with interest, costs, &c. The exec
cation was issued. The sale took place a few
days ago. There were only a few persons prey',
ent, most of ly hom were relatives of the family.,
All the necessary private arrangements hail been
made with the Sheriff. Mr. Fox—late Judge ,

great deal of feeling, and in rather unbecoming

peals to the C•rurt to sustain him, but in vain
The manner of Mr. Fox called forth a severe re.
bake from Mr. Dickerson, which he gave in a
style not only ereditat le to himself, but to the
profession. Mr. Dickerson, in a powerful speech
of a few minutes, aroused the indignation of the
audience towards the acts of Mr. Biddle and the
Bulk of the United States He read a lesson to
the Court of Backs County, such as we hope he
will read in the city of Philadelphia, for the ben
fit of the widows and orphans, as well as those
combined together in this affair. He exhibited
to the Court the morterge in favor of the son of
Mr. Biddle for $100,133 33, of July, 1841, arid
the other in favor of his wife for $4O, 003 25, upon
which the property has been sold.
When Mr. Dickerson concluded, the Court gran •
ted the rule, and postponed the acknowledgement
of the deed of sale until next Febrnary term. The
next day Mr. Dickerson's claim of $157 for his
client, Mr. J. Hams, was promptly pai tin order
to get rid of his petition. 0" course It was with
drawn, but hearing of Mr. D's success, another
creditor put into his hands a claim against Mr.
Biddle for upwards offour thousand dollars, to he
collected in a similar manner. Perhaps it will be
paid, when other creditors may have a chance to
step in and thus secure themselves.
These are the plain facts of the case, and we
leave the reader to draw his own inferences. We
say nothing. We take the liberty, however, of
remarking, that this is an opportunity for the
creditors of Mr. B. which cannot occur every day,
and that those who neglect it deserve to lose their
money for their indolence, good nature or stupid
ity."
