A 13artford jeweler directed the atten
tion of a friend to a rough appearing old
farmer sauntering down tho street, and
remarked, ''I've been worso sold on that
man than on any ot.'r in my whole insi
ness life." Te1 man, fully three score
years and ten, wore shabby palntaloons,
rotgh cow hido hoots innocent of the
slightest tirace of blacking, a vest soiled in
front and with the back partly in tatters
was inl his shirt. sleeves, without collar,
and his head covered by a tile fashionablo
immnv years ago. "Tlat. was about his
style," contitlned the nerchant, " when
he dropped in at. my store one day during
the war, and said he wanted to buy a
watclh. Judging from his appearaneo
that he leaiit sotetimie inl the future
after the scarecrow season was over, ain'd
that he had drawn his money, I didn't
hustle around very lively to make a trade.
I thought a $10 silver watch would about
closo out his pile, and shoved one across
tie to counter him. He merely glanced
at it, and quitly asked, 'Don't you keep
anytling hotter ?" This nettled ime, and
for a bluff I hauled out an American
watcl, one of the costliest we had in the
store, worth $175 in gold, and gold was
worth about 200 then. He examined it
carefully, asked its price, and then to my
amazement said, ' 1'hat'll do.'" le livc(li
down into his pantaloons pocket and af
ter fishing out of the way a roll of green
backs as big s your hat lie hnnled up
a purse of gold, counted out the '175,
shoved the watch into his vest pocket and
walked out. You may imagine that this
excited my curiosity, and after a while I I
ascertained who my strange custier
was. IIe lived a few miles down the
river and wvas worth enough to haive
bought out the whole establishment.
Since then I haven't tried any more bltis

THE MORMONS.
Wat Briglhn Young's Daughter Tike
of the Iiurch of thae Latte# -Day atets.
Several weeks ago five of the daughters
of Brigh1am Young, late head of the
lforin)n Chureh, wero expelled from the
'bureht for the ernie of having gone to
.aaw with certain of the brethren who at
femnpted to rob them. Afterward the
,lders, wishing to make peaco with the
'xpelled litigants, sent a couple of
"teachers" to interview them. They re
paired to the resideneo of Miss Dora
Young. What occurred there is told by
the Salt. Lake Tri/>une, as follows:
'"We want t' l cep, Sister Dora, if you
will not ('ole buck to its."
"I have received a note calling on me
to appear to a'swer a charge; what wouh
you do?"
"Oh," replied Brother Morris, "I
should go by all means--by all means."
''But I won't do that," replied the
heiress, "not for the world."
"'Oh, conic now, Sister Dora, don't
say that. If yotl have dono anything
wrong it will be forgiven."
"Yes, but I lavnt't donlo anything
wrong. What have 1 done?"
"You had a suit with your brethren
dill't. you?"
"1es, and I wish tx gracious I had an
othcr one."
"'hlaat, with the br'thrin?"
"Yes, with the brethren?"
"Don't aay that, Sister Dtr:; we don't
want to ourt your feelings but
"And I don't want you to hurt IIIv
feelings. If you do you'll go out f f my
lollse a good dea l livelior thanl you el 0

Itwo oWend mte any w ay you will go out

"Oh, wVe d11't want to hurt-"
"Well, tlhen, don't. ask me to return to
aLco cllurch: vout can't. insult me worse
hatm by requesting thats
"Sister Dora, think of your father and
mlother, and--"
"Iho't speak to III,' my father, Mr.
Morris," she interrupted; "you and the
whole church know that my father,
prophet though you callefl him, broke
anny i wolan's heart. If it is required
of mne to break as many hearts and ruin
as mnny womlein as my father did, 1
hotld go to perttition before I would go
back into the church again, and-'
"Oh, Sister Doral" exelaimed the
tentohier.
It's a fact, and you know it is a fact.
You know that, nany of his wives died
of broken hearts, and how did he leave
the rest? Look at. my mother and look
at all the rest of then! A religiun which
breaks wollen's hearts and ruins them is

does. Don't talk to imo of my father;
