An Adventure In the Car*.
There were five of us?yee, five as happy fel- 1
taw* a* ever were let loose from college. It was
vacation, and wc concluded to take a trip to the 1
Folia We got aboard the cars at N and 1
were soon traveling very font toward our desti- I
ration. ?- 1 I
We liad jnst seated ourselves, and prepared '
for a comfortable smoke, when In came the conductor,
and who "should it be but our old friend
Fred. B??-. After the common salutations? 1
" How are you, old fel'ow 1" ete^ had passed,
Fred, aaid he had some business for us to attend )
*.
~ Otft with it, oldchtrm !" said wc?" anything '
at alt<will be acceptable, so let us have it."
" Well, boys," said Fred, in a very confidential 1
tone, " in that next coach there is as loving a 1
pain, as it wss ever my lot to sea. They are go- '
ing down to II?? to get married, and now if w
yea can have any fun over it, just pit oh in. They
tnnst be cared for, and I do not know who can '
do It better than you."
In a moment Fred was gone, and we set oar '
heeds together to form a plan for "taking core
of the lovem"
"I have It, boys," said Bill SeewcVs, wc must. '
make that girl think that her lover Is married?"
" That's it. Bill?that's it!" said we, not giving
htm time to finish Ute sentence. 1
"That he if a marrledutan and- Ute father of 1
children," aaid Bill. 4
- mm roe game, ooys, now let ?* play it,"
" It devolved uj>on roe to commence operation*
Accordingly I entered the car in which we wei-e
informed the lovere were. The girl, thinking, 1
suppose, that she roust give her lover nil the sent,
had taken a seat npon his knee; and he, for the
purpose of protecting her, of course, had thrown .
- liia arm around her waist j and so they sat, as
loving as two doves.
* All this I gathered at a glance. Stepping up
to them I said:
r Why, Jones, what in the denee are you doing
with this girl f
The girl arose hastily and seated herself on the
seat.
"See here, stranger," said the fellow, ** you are
a mite mistaken, my name ain't Jones,*
" Why Jones," sntd I, - you certainly have not
left your wife and children, and tried to pahn
yourself off for a single man, hava you?"
"F tell you my name ain't Jonaa?ita Qarnev.
' It never vh JonM; tain't a goin' to ho Bather."
I merely shook my heed, end peeeed on to enother
eeet, to eee the result of the fiin.
Hie girl looked wild efter I set down, b?t 1
Jones, mliat Uerpcr, soon convinced her thet I 1
wis mWteken.
About the time they got to feeling quite well
again, in eemc Klliolt Gregg. Welkin# up to
Harper, he escorted him with: 1
'"Why, Jrt'nes, yoa here? How did yon leave 1
your wife and babies I" >
* - Vow eee hero, stranger, you ain't the first 1
men to day thet has silled me Jones, en' I reck- 1
o? i moot look awfully like liim ; but I ain't 1
Jonea, an J mora'a Lhat you miuu't call ma Jone* 1
I hain't got no wife, nor babiea nother, but tbla i
hara gal aa* ma am goia' to splica, an' than you 1
eon talk alwot my wife, an' 1 wouldn't wonder 1
baiwhaUn the oouraa ol time, yon might talk 1
about tha babtaa too; but you musn't call ma <
Junti" 1
* IhU ratort brought forth voclferona laughter 1
from tha spectator^ and It also brought bluahes
to tha faea of tha " gal that was going to oa '
spliced."
%
A
au, nunet, Mia ur?gg, " you will regret
this in the Aitare. I pity your wife and children
and this poor girl."
"Bo, Mr. Hnrper, your real nnmo is Jones, 1%
it? an' you have been foolin* me, have you??
Well, we aiu't spliced yit, an' I don't think we
will b#Tloon, outlier," said the girl, and her eyes
fairly flashed first
"Jane, Jane," said he, don't you know I'm BUI
Ilarpar T There ain't a darn drop of Jones blood
in me, an' 111 prove it*
At this moment, Jeff. Jnekson, Bill Seevers and
Jim Byers entered, and of course their attention
was called to Hnrper by his loud talking. They
stepped op to him and said :
" Why, Jones, what is all this fuss about?"
This was more than Ilarpor could stand. lie
leaped upon a seat
" Now !" says he, " my name ain't Jones, an' I i
can lick the feller as says it is!" 1
By this time we had got to II?? and onr '
friend Fred came into the car, and made Harper
keep quiet. The girl that wouldn't be " splioed"
requested Fred to help lier on the train that was
going back to N?, which he did, and the no- '
torious Jones, alia* Harper, followed her. We
learned afterwards that he proved himself to be
Bill Itnrper, instead of Bill Jones, and he and hia
"gal got spliced."
" I Have Missed it at Last"
80 said a gentleman in th? Fulton street meeting,
rising to soya few words. "These words,"
said he, "fell from the lips of a young man who
died last night. They were uttered to the attending
physician, who was sitting at his bedside,
and had just told him that he had but a
shot time tolivo. " What do you say T" inquired
the atttentivo and kind hearted physician.
" 1 have missed it after all," said the young
man, despairingly.
u What hare you missed F again the physician
inquired.
"What have t missed ! Doctor, I have missed
securing my salvation."
"How sol"
"IIow sol Oh 1 it is a sal storysaid the
youth. " I was awakened not long ngo. My
conscience told mo whntn wretched, wicked sinner
I had been. The Holy nil-it was striving
with me. When I was in deep distress for my
uui, j resoivea to nismsM the subject or religion
from my thoughts. I was urged to make sure
Lite day of grace, by repentance and fuith in
Christ. I begged to postpone the subject for a
little time. I had to promise myself, however,
that I would take it up again, when it would be
a more favorable time to attend to it. I had to
promise myself that I would at some future time,
not very remote, be a Christian, and ' make my
election mre ' But uow 1 have missed it. This
is my end story."
"It is not too late even now," said the doctor,
"Doctor, yon know not what 3*00 say. I tell
jron I have missed it at la*C"
" Oh 1 say not so. Remember the thief on the
eross. It was not too late for hiin." 1
" Remember tho thief on the cross! Yes, I remember
him. It was not too late for him. lie
never said,-' Uo thy way, this time' to the Holy
Spirit, lint I did?/ did. And now he tells me
I may go my 1cay."
" How does He tell you 1" was tlie surprised (
inquiry.
"IIefr//?mc?I feel it here," laying his hand ,
upon his heart ,
"But some heard at the eleventh hour." ,
" I know it. But ntv eleventh hour was when
[ had tAat call. It was my last."
" Not the lath You are called now."
"'Doelor,'* said the young man, the dark
ihadows gathering upon hia face, and unuttcr- ,
rble, indescribable hopelessness settling down up?n
his features?" Doctor "?and there was a
>anse ; then he said slowly and with great emthasia,
" I've missed It at last."
" This was aaid with such a tone and exproa
lion of despondence, as no language can describe.
He turned his face all round the room, as if
earnestly, yet vainly, seeking some desired obect.
Then burying his face in hts pillow, oxsiaimed,
in an agony whioh rang with a groan
.hrougli all the house?'Oh, I have missed it.'"
"So he died." " Now." ?ontinned<hc speaker,
'1 know that there are some awakened young
Hen in this room. I know the Holy Spirit of
Hod Is striving with some souls here. He is urgng
to repentance, to fsith in Christ?'to mskiog
four celling and election sure.' Bin not against
he Holy Spirit?sin not against the voiee of
Bonscienee?sin net against the offer of etsrnal
life?lest finally yon lie compelled to exolsim, in
fat despair, as did the young man who died lest
aight?' I have missed it at last,'"
It was a yonng man who was speaking. Ills
ippeal seamed *a reach many a heart. There
was s moment of solemn stillncea and tli?n >rnu i
the voice of earnest prayer that do awakened tinner
preeent might procrastinate a single moment,
tnd thne'misimprove the golden opportunity to
make hie peace with God.

Woman's Lot*?A Beautiful Incident
Six years ago, eays the Milwaukie Gazette, a
young man just entering into life, under the influence
cf rum, ooiumittcd a crime againat eocie
ty, was tried in this city, convicted and sent to
Wnmpurv, where he served his time out behind
the prison bars. Before his trial, a fair girl had
promised to link fortunes with him, and cruel
was the blow to her. But site loved him. AH
through hie six years did she wait for his releaseWith
a true woman's heart, she believed him innocent?innocent,
at least, before Ood ; and like
tho magnet, she held on her steady way, her
heart over point to the future. Long were the
years to him. Slowly passed the hour*. So.
couds were minutes, minutes were hours, lionrs
wore days, days weeks, weeks months, months
years, and years were like ages. Every toiling
of the prison bell struck deep upon Ins heart, and
every sunset took another thread from the long
tkcin. Nor were the Honrs less weary to her.?
Ilope, that blessed angel', sat by her day by day (
and reposed on her pillow at night. Some there
were who laughed at her holy love, who sneered
so meanly at her lov<r, a prisoner miles away.?
But little it mattered to her. Others might I
laugh?eho wept; others might point to n man in
prison garb, toiling away from-inorn tiil night,
with but one star to guide him on. She mw but
the honest soul that might be saved, lost, and.
woman that she was, nerved herself to hedt their
jibes and jeera. . .
Blessed words oame to him in liis lonely cell,
words of love, of kindness, and stronger grew the
heart of him who lind truly is butter angel to
watch over his unbroken fortune. Each word
from her lightened the hours as they slowly went
by, and larger grew the day on which liberty
was to come. Men visited him and with careless
word or speaking eye, threw into his cell a maddening
thought on which his soul must feed and
tremblingly shrink to the darkest corner of his
living temple. Then ]a letter from her would
dash aside the dark curtains and beckon him on
to a spot of sunshine outside, and beyond his
prcseut reach. So passed the years. Friends
died and he wept over them.
The sin was long since atoned for, nnd at last
the little spot of sunshine crept into his cell, and
entering by the key-hole of his door led him
forth in the bright rays of liberty. lie was conducted
to the office of the prison bv McGraw. nn.l

and led into an inner room whore stood (he who,

Time.
The same amount of space could not be better
filled than with the following beautiful extract:
Old! call you me ? Aye! when the Almighty
spoke creation into birth, I was there. Then
was 1 bora amid the bloom and verdure of Ihirndisc.
I gazed upon the young world, radiant with
celestial smiles, I rose upon the pinions of the
first morn, and caught the sweet dew drops as
they fell and sparkled on the bowers of the garden.
Ere the foot of man was heard sounding
in this Wilderness, I gazed upon its thousand riv- I
era, Hushing in iiaht. and reflecting the I
Bin., like n thousand jewels upon their bosoms.
The cataract sent up their anthems In these solitudes,
and none was here to listen to the newborn
melody but I. The fawns bounded over
the new-born hills, and drnnk at the limpid
streams, ages before an arm was raised to injure '
or make them afraid. For thousands of years
the morning star ruse in beauty u|>on these unpeopled
shores, and its twin sister of the eve
darned is the forehead of the sky, with no eyes
to admire their rays but niinei Ay 1 call me old f

flourished and fell, and I beheld them in their
glory and,their decline. Hcnrce a melancholy
ruin marks the place of their existence, but when
their first stones wereluid in the earth, 1 was there.
Mid all the glory, splendor and wickedness, I woe
in their busy streets and crumbling their magnificent
piles and their gorgeous palaces to the earth.
My book will show a long and fearful account I
against them. 1 control the fate of empires, I give
their period of glory and splendor t but 1 eonceal in
them the seeds of decay ; they must go down, be
humbled to the dust, their proud heads be bowed
down bufore the rising glories of young nations
to whose prosperity there wiii also come a daie
and day of decline. 1 poise my wing over the
earth, mid watch the course and doings of its inhabitants.
1 call upon the violets upon the hilla,
and crumble the grey ruins to the grouud. I am
the airent of a hirfher nower to trlve life and lake
w xo r o " ""
it away. I spread silken tresses upon tho brow
of the young, and plant grey hairs on the head
of the aged roan. Dimples and smiles, at my
bidding, lurk around the lips of tha innocent
child, and 1 furrow the brow of the aged with
wrinklca. Old I oali ye me! aye, but when will
my days be numbered f When will time and
eternity begin t When will the earth and tie
waters?the nniverse be roiled up, and tho new
world commence its revolution T Not till Ho,
who first bid me begin my flight so orders it.?*
When His purposes, who called me into being are
accomplished, then, and not till then, and no one
can proolaitn the hour, I shall go to the pla<~e of
all the living.

| Temperance.
The amount of good ncoompllshsd by the temperance
reformation, during the lust half censnry,
could not be accurately calculated. Its ennobling
virtues end benevolent objects have contributed
illimitable felicity to many, whose ebbtide
of Hfr, apparently, were drawing to a close.
When ave retrospect the past, and see wlint has
been done by this great cause, nnd trnee the
mark for good which It has made upon the lnthutnnn
family in general, we can but wonder
why It Is that men of alt classes and ages do not
rally to its standard.
Its character as an order, nnd the principles
which it endeavora to inculcate into the hearts
of the rising generation, are worthy of the strong
arm of the wisest potentates of the earth. Scan 1 1

Goixo TIovk tiik Giiu.s.?The entrance
into soeiety may be said t<? take place immediately
after boyhood has passed away, yet a nmltitnde
take an initiative before their beards i re
presentable. It is a great tiial, cither at a tender
or a rough age. For an overgrown boy to
go tx> a door, knowing that there are a dozen
girls inside, nnd to knock or ring with absolute
certainty that in two minutes all their eyes will
be upon liim, is a severe test of coursge, To go

the pinch, and the boy that has the most pluck

words, " Shall I see you home ?" She touches

No Timk to Hcap.?Men can always find time
to do whaterer tlicy pleaae, except reading ; and
the reason why they can not find time for the
iast Is, tliey do not please. We hare read of men
who have toiled hard all daj^ in the printing office,
at the forge, on the cobler'a bench, and the)*
contrive to make time to read and stndy, and at
last raise themselves to the highest rank in the
arts and sciences. We have even the examples
of men born blind, who before they had reached
the age of forty years, had filled professorship* of
Mathematics and Classical Literature in the first
Universities of Europe. And yet we hnve, te-dav^
young, middlo-ngcd, and old men, blest with robust
constitutions, perfect physical and mental
fncultics, who might, by their own unnided efforts,
make for themselves n nsiuo and a place
iwnong the groat and useful of our country, did
they but have the WILL to do. Such tnon can
always find time to attend n horse-race, n Torn
Thumb show, visit a billiard, bowling or drink*
ing saloon, without stopping to think that the
lime wasted at these places would he abundantly
sufficient. If systematically employed, to consli
tute them, in a comparatively short time, wellread
men.
We hope our young men will profit by the
foregoing hint, and organize among themselves
whereby all their spare time rony be devoted to
the busiuess of mutual instruction and improvement.

Counsel for the Yquno.?Eighteen things
which render young people very impolite.
1. Loud laughter.
2. Heading when others are talking.
8. Cntt'ng finger nails in company.
4. Leaving meeting before it is closed.
8. Whispering in meeting.
0. Hazing at strangers.
7. Leaving a stranger without a sent,
8. A want of reverence for superiors.
9. Heading aloud in company without being
asked.
10. Receiving a present without some manifestation
of gratitude.
11. Making yourself the topic of conversation.
12k Laughing at the mistakes of others,
18. Joking others in company.
14. Correcting older persons than j*oUrself, especially
parents.
15. To commence talking before others arc
through.
10. Answering questions when put to others.
17, Commencing to eat as soon ss you arc at
the table.
18. In not listening to what one is saying in
company?unless you desire to show contcmpt/or
the speaker. A well-bred person will not make
An observation Whilst another of the company is
addressing himself in it.
Faitii.?What is fnilh 1
Once upon a lime the peoplo went up to the
house of God to pray for rain. The pnstor was
surprised to see a little Sunday school scholar
lugging along a large umbrella.
" Why, Mary," said he, " what made you
bring tlmt umbrella on such a lovely morning as
thief"
Tile rhihl, gazing on his face with evident surprise
at the inquiry, replied: " Why, sir, I
thought as we were going to pray to God for rain,
I'd want the umbrella."
And the rain did come; while the congrega
uon went nome in tiie sliower, the little girl was
sheltered hy her umbrella. The child had faith
in God. All Christians are supposed to be converted,
and to be " as little children."
Would thut all who profess to be the children
of God, were like children, "strong pi faith, giving
glory to God."
If such faith as this pervaded the hearts of the
members of the Churches, every meeting would
be a revival, ami the world would soon be converted.
Why not have this faith T It is sustained
by reason and by the Scriptures.
"And the desciples said, Lord increase our
faith."?.V. (X Adoocate.
A Rr.m.vnitAni.k Axswkr to PkaVkh.?A few
yenrs ago the Wesleyans at A?n, in the county
of Essex, occupied a small cottage for public worship.

was too strait for therti. They sought nod obtained
a plot of ground upon which to erect a
chapel. Some of " the baser sort " in the village
wore opposed to its erection ; and one to whom
a lurge tree belonged, one of tbe branches of
which overhung the ground, resolved that It
should not be erected. His opposition was bit1
tor and protracted ; tin people did not wish to
go to law | they therefore held n special prayer- |
meeting, and besought the Lord to interfere.?- |
That night there was a violent storm, accompanied
by thunder and lightning ; the electric fluid I
struck the tree, and severed the branch just |
where it would have best in the way. Fear fell
uooti the enemies of 7lnn ?n#l (.? '
erected, and still stands a monument to tlie liberality
of the people, and one of the "bulwarks of
the land."

A " Keerful Shepherd."
Morrnoni.?m is still in practical operation
amongst us. A few days since, a tall, raw #
boned Saint, with a complexion very strongly
resembling that, of boiled tripe, arrived
hoe from Pittsburg with a couple of wives,
but deeming his llock too small to start Salt
Lakeward with, held forth as follows to an
admiring audience, at a house over the canal,
with a view to the completeness of ltis
domestic felicity, llis text was :
?? Mt 1 ' " ? ~
woi ia onccrce una >v eonien is I'lentj,"
" Brethren and Siblern?pertickler the
Sia'crn : I want to 6ay a few words to you
about Mormonism?not for my own sake,
but for yourn, for mcu it skecrce and weemrn
plenty.
" Morroonism is built on that high, old
principle which sez that it aint good for man
to be alono, and mighty sight worse for a
woman?Therefore if a mah feel* good with
a little company' a good deal of it ought to
make him feel an awful sight better.
The first principle of Mormonism is that
woman air a good thing, and the second
principle is that you cant have too much of
a good thing. Woman *is tenderer than m
man, and is ncssary to smooth down the
roughness of his character, and as man has
a good many rough pints in his nature, he
ougbnT' to give to one woman loo much
to do ; but set each one to work smoothing
some pertickler pint.
"Don't think I'm overanxious for you to
jine us, for I aint. I'm not speaking for
my good, but for yourn; for men it tkeerca
anu iccmcn ts plenty,
* I said woman wns tenderer than man;
hut yon needn't feel stuck up About it, for
so she ought to be ; she was made bo a
purpose. Hut how was shre made sol?
Where did she git it from ? Why, she wan
created out of the side bone'of a man, and
the side bone of a man is like the side-bone
of a tuikcy?the tenderest part of him.?
Therefore, as a woman has three side-bones
and a man has only one, of course sbe is
three times a& tender as a man is, and is in
duty bound to repay that ten^ferneas of
which she robbed him. And how did she
rob bim of his side-bone ? Why, exactly as
she robs bis pockcte now-a davs of liU loose
change?she took advntnge of him when
he was asleep.
44 But as woman is more tender than man
so is man more forgivener than woman,
llieifore I won't say anything more abcmt
the side-bone or the small change, but in-,
vite you all to jine my traln? fbr I'm A big
shepherd out our way, and fare sumptuously
every day on purple and fine linen.
44 When I first landed on the shores of
the Great Salt Lake, 1 wasn't rich in weemen,
I had but one poor lad yeo, but men.
is skecrcc and weemen is plenty, and like a
keerful shepherd I begin to Increase my
flock. Weetuen heard of us and of our
lovin' ways, and they kept a porin' In.?
Tliey come from the North, and they come
from the South, they come from the East
and they come from tho West, they come
from Europe, they come from Aisliey, and a
few of 'em from Afrikey, and from bein*
the miserable owner of one old yoe, I became
the joyful shepherd of a mighty flock,
? -:A. . ? > ? - -

and fatter than any body else's, and I've
still got room for a few more.
44 As I said before, I'm not lalkin' pertickler
for my benefit, but for yourn?foe mm
it skecrce and iccemrn is plenty. Still I'd
little rather you'd go along with tne than
not, perticklcr you fat one with the caliker
t-un bonnet. l)on't hesitate, but take the
chance while you can get it, and I'll make
you the bellyoe of the flock. I'll lead yon
j through green pastures, where you may ca!
per iu the sunshine, and, as you are in pretty
good condition already, in course of time
you shall bo tho fattest of the flock. Jino
in, jine in; jine my train ; jino it now; for
men is skeerce and sbeemen is ]>len(y"
The appeal was irresistible. At the last
account 44 the fat woman with the caliker
sun bonnet" had "jincd in," and two or
throe others were on the fence, with a decided
leaning toward the 44 Keerful Shepherd.'*
A Lono Nose.?There ia a rich atory
told of a good minister at Montague, Her.
Mr. Moody, who has been most liberally
furnished by nature with that very neeeeaar,T
imnnniliinfa (a .v.? ' ' ? w*
,J iu n mnil r> litw?HIS nOS?. It
is said that while at a public dinner on a
certain time, a gentleman who sat opposite
to Mr. M., thinking to get a good joke
nt his expense, remarked, in a loud tone :
" Mr. Moody, there is a fly on the end of
your nose."
This threw the company into a roAr, fcr
the tone of the voice conveyed the iinpreasion
that the end of the noae was so far from
Mr. Moody that he would not know a fly
was on it unless some kind fiiend told him.
Hot Mr. Moody completely turned the tables,
by remarking, In his cool, dry way :
44 Well, Mr. , you are nearer the Jly
than I am ; won't ton please brush it off?"
The laugh that went round thef-lable at
ikt. ? >t ' * '
una BRiiy ol nit was pertcclly uproarious.
For tlie benefit of those who did not mo the
great comet l?6t year, we will mention that it
will Appear Again during tlie autumn of 2,147.
