wooded country, On both sides were pines,
birches, oaks, maples, and climbing vines—

so peculiar to that region, As we ap-
proached the town our road lay along the
seashore. Crossing the grade for the new
Siberjan railroad, where exile convicts from
European-Russia were at work, we reached

Utah and The Mormons.

JOSEPH L. HORNE, UNION LITERARY SOCIETY.

The impression has gone out that- the -

Mormons are the worst: people an earth.
This is because they are not understood.

“Just to give an idea of the peculiar notions.
many have held about Utah and her people,
permit me to give some few questions that
have been asked me and others from Utah.

They are as follows: What ocean do” you

king, is she not?. How large is Utah City?
Is it true the Mormons have horns? Utah
has a. high wall around ker, has she not? —
Observing these questions’ briefly, I will
say, Utah is nestled in the sentinel hills and
dales of the Rocky “Mountains, lymg
‘between Colorado and Nevada. She
_, kelongs to the United States and is still a
territory, though she has been knocking for
‘admission into the Union as a state since
4852, Her king is. a governor, appointed
by the president of the United States.
‘There is no Utah City, Regarding the

question,—“have the Mormons horns?”

we-will lay it aside, it being too erroneous
“for reply: As to the question, “is she ¢
an the pot. ”.

coties in any form good for the body, except
for medicinal purposes, and the use of such
is strongly preached against. But if any
wish to wo contrary to these instructions
they are at liberty to do so and there is no
intimidation save that too grievous offenses

are rewarded by disfellowship. They are -

not priest-ridden as is claimed by their
would-be defamers, for there is no people
more free than the Mormons to act as they
choose. They discountenance saloons and
dens of vice with utter abhorrence, and no
Mormon could be a Mormon and take any
such course. . ,

‘Mormon’ s word is his bond.”

_ From their doors no. one is turned away |
hungry, not even the tramp—and I have

sometimes thought that the latter were
aware of this fact since thousands on their
‘continental pilgrimages bask in the sunlight
of charity in Utah.

As to the Mormon’s belief, it has been
asserted they are not Christians for they do

‘not believe in the Bible, nor are they a

church. This is far from being true, for no

eereed takes the Bible s0 much at its word. as.

they do. Henry Ward Beecher said, «If
the Bible is true, the Mormons have the
true religion, for their doctrines are wholly
in keeping with the Bible.” He made this
‘statement in New York shortly after his

“other books they believe in, as the Book of
; Mormon, and Doctrines and Covenants, but
none of these differ in doctrine from the Bible.
| Their church is organized | after the
“pattern laid down in the New Testainent by
‘Jesus Christ. They believe in apostles,
prophets, ‘pastors, priests, teachers and
“deacons, as given in the fourth chapter of
‘Ephesians,

are charged is that they are a very ignorant

First, let us look at the time in which hé-
lived. During the few years preceding the -

civil war, affairs were serious in Kansas. é
lt was on the border =",
between the North and South, between ihe. ae
states that did not allow slavery and those aan
that did. Pitched battles often occurred. ~ ~
between the slave owners and abolitionists, _

and Brown was not at all backward in

_ defending the rights ef the slave.

In his earlier years Brown had a chance fo. 7

where he bved.,

visita military encampment and while there

formed such a disgust for military life that ©

he resolved never to take up arms except for :
the cause of liberty. About this time he.
began to study our. slavery system. His —
love for the poor, forsaken black must Have
been great, for, soon after his removal to
Kansas, with a small hand, he would ‘take
runaway slaves from the neighborhood to
| odds as would
have terrified another, Oo

He fully expected, before starting east,
that he would be able to hold the arsenal
at Harper’s Ferry until he could rally the

slaves in the neighborhood, then escape to ~

the mountains and inaugurate a genéral
servile war. He indignautly repelled the
idea that he was trying to overthrow this
government,. During his confinement at
Harper's Ferry, he had discussions with

_ several southern clergymen on the. question _

which so much agitated his mind.

quite the opposite, full of clear sound logic.

To the less prejudiced, he appears as one
not responsible for his actions, therefore

they pity him. These two classes of people.

character and motives must have had a.good

did not think to study closely these two

right; he upheld it to.the best of his ability.
‘There were many stockholders in the

Canada in the face of all opposition.

It is no doubt true that the ethics of student's:

The judgment of students ‘may sometimes -

to immorality in our colleges are strong and
im need of constant ‘restraint.

Taey are
usually’ highly physical in’ their nature.
The students are therefore influenced by
physical, as well as moral ‘considerations.
Here is a young man’ of strong physical
vitality, obeying the will of his parents, a
hard working student; or following the
desires of his own will, He may be a
strong scholar, Yet physical energies must
have scope. Years ago, such energy found
relief in tearing down fences, destroying
_ ptoperty, etc.
~ this. Why? ‘Because of the moral power of
7 regular prescribed gymnasium work. |
- Tt is often stated that a college gymnasium
is only used Dy those who do ot need it,
and is unused ‘by those that do need it.
_ But they have taken a wreng view of the

truth, They think that the function of |

physical training is to invigorate the body.
But they have over-looked another point,
that of moral importance to colleges.

Unless regular. gymnasium werk be pre-
~seribed, the best results cannot be obtained.

ATI students: during the first two years of

their college course should have regular

gymnasium work, Juniors and seniors may

be left to their own choice, as by this time,
they are supposed to know what is best.
Every one ‘knows that when college boys,
as well as every one else, incline to mischief
it is in the evening. When their day’s work
is done, and with no fear of coming examin-

‘ation, the temptation to physical exuber- -
ance is just in proportion to the degree of .

hedlthy, ‘physical vitality they possess.

what todo and how to do it. As there”
is no higher exercise of the mind than that:
of determining in an emergency precisely
the line between too much and too little, it
is of great worth. |
Also, there is no greater moral test than
that which calls for self-restraint at the
moment of over-whelming temptation,
Hence, the weak are developed and the

The order CAtiopoda have only two legs
to each segment, the antenna are somewhat
longer than in the CAdlognatha and they
are all carnivorous. They are often cailed
centipedes and are thought to be poisonous
to man, This is a mistaken idea, however,
so far as ours here are concerned, as they
are perfectly harmless,

The sub-class Arachnottia have a head,
thorax and abdomen. They always have
erght legs and nearly always eight simple
eyes. They have no antennz and no trans-
formations. Under the order Acariza, we
have the mites; these include the much
feared Texas tick. We usually think of the
wood mite er wood tick as meaning some-
thing very small, but these mites are nearly
as large a8 hazelnuts. Their mouth organs

contain many little sharp barbs all pointing

backwards so that when they once thrust
them into the animal, the tick has to be
pulled to pieces in order to be taken off,
When the Texas pony is imported in the
‘spring, these mites come with them in great
numbers and if brought on cattle often
bring with them the germs of Texas fever.
‘AA number of horses have been seriously
injured in this State because of the work of
these ticks. ‘The remedy is to import these
ponies in the fall so that the cold weather
will kill the ticks, or kill the gigantic mites

worker, If he has erred in any way, it has
not been.for the sake of gaining popularity,
but from a most exacting sense of duty and

has long been needed to make the campus

sufficient to make the walks as complete as
