No WONDER.—One Of our most frith tenable hair dressers tells the 'following good etory : An old Quaker lady was standing at her counter one day, when a gay young girl came in to engage a hair-dresser For the evening. She gave her order hu'r riedly,, saying that she wanted a half_ dozen "rolls" and a butterfly on the top, a "Grecian" or "waterfall" at the back, with plenty of "puffs" and "curls, , " and ended with an injunction to send along any quantity of "rats," "mice," and "cataracts." "Poor child I" said the,.dear old lady, compassionately, looking after her as she departed—" What a pity she hits :ost her mind I" WANTED.-"A. better ' Christianity than that in common use ; a Christian ity that is not .limited to creed and Sabbath observance ; a Christianity that makes men and women kinder, hon ester, parer and nobler in all their week day works ; a Christianity, as Dr. Hunt ington remarks, 'that is Phristik across counters, over dinner-tables * , behind your neighbor's back, as in his face ; a Christianity that we can find in the tem perance-of the meal, in moderation of dress, in respect for authority, in ami,a bility at home, in veracity and• simp lici ty in mixed society.' - Rowland 'Hill used to say, 'he would give very little for Ithe religion of a man whose dog and, cat were not the better for it.'-" FASTIDIOUS TASTES.—In the exhibition of dogs now'taking place in Paris are several snow-white-lap-dogs.

The heavens' are without a cloud ; the sun has been pouring his rays unobstricted upon the earth since his first appearance aboin the 'eastern horizon; his' beams increasing in heat as he pursued his - ceurse' toward the meri dian. The earth feels' 'his 'scorching power. The soil firparched'and dry, and the corn, the clover, the grass and the flowers are drooping: All vegetation waste 'a 'withered ' appearance and the tenderer plants-seein• as if about- to die. Thus passes the day.' The nun at length desCends'behind' the 'western hills and flight dittwit around her Bible' certain. Look upon the scene ouch more when morning has again brotight the' light. The sun is just rising from his eastern conch, shedding a halo of golden light over earth and sky. Look at the grass an &flowers which yesterday Were droop ing and dying. They no longer wear this sad appearance ; their leaves spread Out fresh and green, their stems are erect and strong. All things seem refreshed and vigorous. • , What has wrought the change?' Do you see ? From every blade of grass and corn, from every' leaf of clover, from the petals of every flower, hangs a dew drop, sparkling like a diamond in the morning sunlight. During the coolness or the"night,- when the burning sun was gone, these little drops were slowly and silently formed. They came not like the raindrops ofthe heavy slimier, but quietly they gathered upon the drooping leaves, affording to the thirsty plants the refreshment they en much needed. The grateful plants joyfully -receive the proffered aid and raising 'again their drooping heads, nut on smiling faceslo greet the return' of day.. How little is the dewdrop, yet how great are, its effects I It has revived the withered vegetation and imparted to it new life, and vigor. It has changed the face of the' landscape fromgloom to 0 .1% Yet it made no 110i80. No sound gave notices:tits coming,. It came in the darkness of the night, unnoticed and unseen. 13fthe time the inn has made onefourth the circuit of the skies, it will be dried up, but its mission will have been accomplished. The plants on which it had gathered will be better able to endure the scorching heat of another day, whereas, but for the refresh ing dew they would droop still more and die. This, thep, was the mission of the dewdrop ; toleyivpthe drooping, dying plant. May we not learn lessons from the little dewdrop,? Like it we each have a mission to fulfill, a work to do. Most of us perhaps, have silent• missions ; not such as shall tend to spread our fame and make us, widely known ; but our mission may be among the lowly, when,. unobserved by the busy world, 'we may ,be active, bearing comfort to thesorrow ful, hope to the boneless, assistance to the needy. There are many, many dr4iop ing, dying , ones in life 'to whom a kind word of sympathy and a pleasant smile would be as the refreshing dew to 'the withering flowers. Let each go forth then and wait upon his mission, discharging faithfully its duties, and though the sun of life be too ,hot for him and like the dew he tall ere the day is spent, yet will:his mission not have been in vain. sir A talented African of the' boot black persuasion, while dancing like St. Vitus over a custopeis boots the other day, observed his partner poring wisely over a newspaper, whereupon the fol lowing oolloquoy ensued : First mem ber of thp.firm--"Julius, witat de dpbbil you lookin at dat paper :.for?

Chapter. of Mormon, Life, The following lifstoiy Of one of the victims of mormoniom is 'from the St.: JesePh, Missouri, Herald Somewhat over one year ago, a young lady' left her home iii` ketifisylvania—a home , where-all the of life•were at her command. • . Her parents were in dulgent, and she, 'an only child, NM' loved by them 'with all the. fondness of true parental affection. No wish of hers remained ungratified, for she was the idol of those parents, acid the light of the hothe made " desolate by an act which will forever cast its shadow pislher , heart. In February, 1864, she beezine abquitin i ted Wail a Miirmen i)reaCher, who Plait : . ted to her m glowing terms the glories of Utah and tho'llormon He told her of the beautiful valleYs'of Utah, fortified on all sides by giant 'mountains, whose peaks, burnished by eternal snows, looked doWn upon the valley of Verpetual green, peopled by God'if own chosen kindred, who ; were free as the mountain torrents that leap the 'rock's of lofty Timpanago's' range. He told her of , the content and peace reigning among the saints,,and assured her• ,that the Mormons were Grod's own" peculiar pbople, and so worked upon her imagin ation, •that Bbe.tioally consented to leave friends, family and,all the endearments of home, and go with him to the. Valley of the Saints. Arriving,at ,Chicago, he forced her to marry him, the ceremony being perforwoli by.a, mock Priest, with out record or license. In April she left Wyoming, Nebraska, with a Mormon train, for the land of -promise, and finally arrived in the city of the spines. Here she found that her husband had four other wives, who re garded her with no tender emotions, but heaped abase and contumely upon 'her head: After a few months •her liege lord =told her he had concluded to seal her to 'another, who had taken a greet fancy to her.; that his ether 'wives,were jealous, and'declared his last 'wife should live with-him no longer. She .declared she•Wonld die before ehe•would thus be put away and forced to live as the wife Of a man with••whom she had'no acquain tance, and had Seenibut once. in her life. Her husband told her that it was Brig ham's order and she must do so or lose her, life. Determined not *to be - thus sacrificed, she started to run away, with the intention of 'making her way to Camp Breckenridge, in Cedar Valley, then garrisoned by United States • trooPs _and claim protection there. She started on foot, and after travelling at least ten miles was caught and 'brought back, placed in a dungeon, or rather a cellar, and Was thus kept for 'a month, with just enoligh-food yto sustain. life. The .man whom she:refused to live with ire quently visited .her, and besought.her to change her resolution in order to save her life. Througliforce of circumstances she at last yielded, and-was duly install ‘ed in•the family as his sixth•wife. Here she found, as before, the' jealousies and quarrels arising_ were intolerable, and she again determined to escape- or die in the attempt. This time she succeed ed in reaching: the headquarters of Gen eral Connor, to whom she told her tale of euffering. The General sent her through to the States with a GOvern- Merit train bound for Fort Keitiney, which place she reached a few week's ago.
