A Itopioductloii and CojhIoiimmI History of The Mormons. A* the <|ueMlon of Mormoniam is api t nti ntr tho minds of <|\ilto u number of our people. doubtless tiny tuny rem! with intereat the lines below. Those who are anxious to lent n something of Mormoninn may gutlur Rome valuable information from thin sketch Kvery religious sect almost is founded on the beliefs or visiona of some one per Hon. This is tho ease in tho Mormons doctrine. Tho faith of the Mormoi's im founded on t ho fact that Joseph Smith claimed to have dug from tho earth cer tain B?hlen platejj, on whjch was graven tho Mormon cried. The hovhomJ history of Smith is full of lnterfttW'"Wlion ho was nn idln and thrifUMs lad of fifteen, ho first began to )ih'v?I:h vision*. Which, it i ? claimed, Hppqpired. to him on numerous occasions nil through his eventful life. Asa boy as a sort of half- foo 1 i?li and hall-w i*e geijiiis. lie told of hi. 4 visions ami in ^ JiHoqunnco became tho hutt of tho jibea and taunt* of hi* companion*, lie was looked upon in tho-ui day* as a liak uhlo candidate for the asylum. Joseph Smith wni\. bom at Sharon, Windsor county, Vermont; in tins year of 180(r?. His parent*, from nil accounts, were not of tho thrifty class. Joseph followod closely in their foot-steps and was not noted as u worker, lie spent more time at vtho Hwimming hole or whittling the dry goods boxes on the street corners of his native town than at labor of any kind, however liuht lie * was a slow-go-easy hoy, tho kind that exist* in great plentltude at tho present day. 8omc chroniclers any tlint Joseph 'a mother had unbounded faith in tho fact that Joseph would aome day become la mou?. She told the neighbors that the very boya who mocked him woubl see the day when they would bo honored by a chance to nnlio bin ahoea. At fifteen when Josoph began to have his visions in which an angel visited him, aaroftatle people intimated that said viaions were only the natural rosult of an ovcrdoao of pork aaoMgo or green apples, lint such remarks as these didn't stop tho visions for according to tho boy Joseph, thev cauie with persistent regularity. His reputation in his native town wan such that he was called "Hreain Jo. Beph." When tho founder of tho Mor mon faith wasstxtcrn his parents moved t<v Manchester, New York, II was in this vicinity that the doctrine was hatcli^ ed .md started in consc(|Ucnce of Smith'? famous vision. It was on tho night of Sept. 21st, 1828, that S?nilh was visited by nn angel three times, according <0 the Mormon side of the atory. Smith said the angel (appointed him divine agent (<, establish tho Mormon doctiinc. The angel instructed him to go to the foot u! the mountain Moroni, which was near his home, and there by digging at h cer tain spot, he would find the Mormon scripture engraved 011 golden plates Smith di 1 u* ho directed and i.<* saiil to have found the golden plates, which, however, soon afterward mysteriously disappeared. It is said that the plates woie of thin gold 7x8 inchca and that when Smith found them they were en closed in an iron box. Smith, who was very illiterate and ttnnhlc to read him self employed Oliver ('owdery and Mar tin Harris, two farmers, to translate the piates ? which were according to M??r ( mon history, graved in reform Kgvptinn language ? into the Knglish tongue. IN* appointed Cowdery and Harris his di-i vine lieutenants and the work of trans- 1 lation was carried 011 in great secrecy in a cave some miles out of town. By Home peculiar coincidence (|,u not be explained, the people in that part of Mow ^ ork suddenly became interest ed In the new faith. I11 a short time Smith began to enjoy the *i-p?nti?>ii of having a few believers, although the main facts of the doctrine bad not vet been made public. As each page ol writing whs turned out by the translators it wan t*k'?n to town and given over to a pi inter named Sidney Higdon who put it info - type. Kveryone' connected with the alleged translation was sworn to (frefl secrecy, and this fact served to etir up the curiosity 0/ the j>eople more I the* new. ' rterorml years were spent in the trans letSMfT and Anally In the year 1(30 tho [ p?fcfipHe^ trader the title of the "Molt of Memen.'V Tho main idea 1 of the "Beek ef Mevmen^frHlkt it | ro Itmtm *o h fr? the history ol a certain disyrsrd fmw the lew 1 11 Ike i^m ef ika of tongue#, vv limit ?tva*iuii in mentioned In the This tamily was compos ed of n certain Lehl, hh wife and four gfll H, w ho sailed nt that early ? 1 1< t?? for this continent and fl ntilly lauded on l!u* ouatt of Cliiii in .South America.

V . in this battle all the followers < I tht' original Nephi wove cxlcruiiuatcn except a smalt number. A moijg tbt* small band of N'ephites (bit escaped wa? it maw named Mormon and his hoii Moroni, Mormon wan visited bv an angel who told him to collect the ro* Cords of the Nephilcs, kept 1 ? \* hiccCsk ive kin^s and priests. lie w.i> ordered to enuravo lliu history on the golden plates, which were furnished him by the angel, and to bury them before his death, riit'se were the platen Raid to have been dug tin I of tho earth lilleen htindretl years Inter by Joseph Smith. This is one tdde of the story, and of course there is another side. It Is claim ed that what is now the "Hook of Mor. moii" was really written IMI2 a* a his lorical romance ami was from tlm pen of ono Solomon Spaulding, Vho ii .said to have been a crack-brained preacher. The manuscript of the slory is said to have fallen into the hands of Sidney Kigdon. an uriHcrupuloiir printer, mid was copied by him and uiven to Smith, lligdon, so the other story Kaya, was a shrewd calculator and fixed up tin platen with brass ami had Smith discovt r them in order to lend coior to the wild tale. After the "liuok of Mormon" was published adherent* he^an to I ! ? ?< - k to Smith r religion* standard. In Id'lOilu number was lur^e enough to bold a con fcrence and In July of that \ear the church was formally oi jotiii/ed. Smith j wm appointed "seer, Iranslat ir, pro pht tj apostle ol Jesus Christ and el lei of the church. " I'rosel \*t i?i<? amenta were appointed and sent out in other parts of the country to (id converts, in. Ian., ix:i!, Smith claimed to haic had another vision in w hith the hand was ordered to Ohio. I'licy settled in the Ioa-ii of Kirllynd. It is charged that while here Smith and Rigdoti indulged deeply i > 1 1 < > wild-cat banking ? that is, (hev started a hank and w hen the people were through de positing their nlonev, <h ?? h.'ttil: closed i's porfals, after which Smith made a bliiMeddepsrtiiiet.il MiKHooti, some what like the present day banker does when he fails. Smith was driven with his baud of adherents from Missouri by the Governor of the State, and the next refuj."-' was at Nanvoo, Illinois, where the Mormons built a temple. While the Mormons vr??re still ai Kirtland, Ohio, tliej' were joined by llrigluun vVount;, who soon after beenn to lake an impor tant part in the executive doim/R of the church Ir was in the year of 18.'!fl that Smith beuan to practice polygamy. This aroused the antagonism of other members of the churcii. Pmith's vis ions however, w f re great friends in hi* adversity and he at one.i made tlie claim that polygamy had rcciived divine naiie tion. It is Haiti that up to this time that Ibis part of the Mormon doctrine <i;n not anionic the principles ol tin- church. In 181-1, Smith and bin bioiber TIv rum, were arrested and placed in theCar. t hu:;e jail. The same uighl a m<d? t wk them <mt and shot (Jem to death. In M|e.?d of this proving a blow to (he M ?r Tnon faith it prove 1 directly < pposde. Smith and his brother soon came to be looked upon as m irtvrs, and the old s iv inu that ' the blood i>f tin* martvr )?< the M'cd of the tdiurch" came true. After the death of Smith, Hri^hain ? ^ tmn/j took the Mormon leadership. II. was a man of Rival force of character. I W hen he took charge of the church liiv found it broken by di<M>:it inir factions, but through bis execniiv.? ability and shrewd management the ?-ect wa-; <o,?n in a more pro?pei'mia coiaiiti ui than ?\\er be fore. t >n account <<( tii,-. constant warfare vva^ed against the .Mormomi l?v i iiri^i, .?? ef t lie church it was decided in lS4it to omi ffrale tot he G real Sail Lake valley in I -I all Voting had previously r.ent men out in the west to look for a location to sc t!e. and the favorah'e report brought ba? k of I lie broad and beaut iful valley gave' the ft>I lowers of Moruionisin rtuewed tiope ii. t they would be able to get far c:? :i^ii we : so t iiat the practice of th ? ctv \[ Would n..' j incur t he displeasure of it* enemies.
