".Much oblecycd to Miss Lennox," said grandma, with a pleasant laugh, for she was a happy, genial old lady. "I b'lievc I was considered pretty good-lookin' some fifty years ago.' "And she said you had lots of beaux. Did you ?" "Well, 1 had my share, child, T reckon,'' and the faint red in her old cheek grew brighter, '-a many and a many before I ever saw your grand pa. My first beau U dear me, how well I lememher!" And grandma burst into a hearty laugh that al most brought Ihe tears lo her eyes. 'Please tell ii h all about it ?" de manded three or four young voices. "Well, I s'pose I can if I try. There was a pretty fair boy lived in the next faim-hoiise to ours, 'bout a mile away. Hi name was Jedediah. He was 'bout seventeen when he first appired to the honor of my company. "I wasn'l much abovo sixteen my self, jest out of long aprons, and like girls now-a-days, I t'pos-e, thought lots more about the beaux than I'd ought to. "One awfully cold night in Janu ary, all the family was setlin' in the ji'eat kitchen, paring apples, when a knock came to the door. Father gol up and opened it, when in came Jedediah, all bundled up, with the exception of his nof-c, which was a peaked one. Father invited him in, an' he soon perched him&elf on a high chair, and began unwindin' his comforter. That coinfoiter must 'a' been yards long. I thought he nev er would stop. Then lie cot there ten minutes without spcakiu' a word, till by-and-Ly lie burst out with: "'I say, Hiiiincr, Elk Waters i goin' to hev a little parly to-night, and he wanted me to nx you.' "'I'd like ter go." savs I. Iookinir sideways over to mother, for the lit tle boyi was giggling 'if mother says so.' You see, lmnncl girls in (hem days didn't go oil' without asking. "'It's awful cold,' says mother, 'ain't it, Jedediah?' ""Well, not so very, goin' through the woods.' "TSonr seen in them woods,' said father, his blue eye twinkliu', 'and not so long ago, noilheiv "'Let 'em come!' said Jcddy; we called him 'Jcddy' for short. 'I wasn't born in the backwoods to be scared of a bear.' " 'Well,' said father, quite sober like, 'if you do meet one, don't let it run oil" with my Hanncr.' "'And mind you bring her home 'fore 'levcii,' said mother. 'I don't 'prove of girls of sixteen staying out all night lo frolics. Now, Hanner, wrap up proper warm. It's a des p'rit cold wind.' "Well, 1 put on my new calikcr, with a black silk apron, worked in herrin'-bone with pink silk, slicked my hair, and av.is down stairs in quick time. 1 never fell so grand in my life as 1 did a-hangin'on Jeddy's arm. it makes me laugh to (limkot it, and how I asked him if his ma Avas well in such a patronizing way. Of course there was fences to git over, and he let mo fall at the very fust one. "Dear me! how frightened the fellow was! Why, he slood there like a spook, and let me pick myself up, and then said, over and over, 'Oh, ain't you hurl? Are you hurl bad ? Take hold of my arm closer ;' and I snuggled up (o his jacket again, trying hard not to limp, for I (ltd lame my ankle a little. Tint when I got to Ihe old farm-house I forgot all about it. All the girls and boys were there for miles about, and the first thing I heard was "'Oh, Haulier's got a beau!" and I felt kinder provoked, and kinder glad. Well, we played 'The Wcevi- ly Wheat," and " 'Here stand a young couple, .Pined heart and hand.' an' 'Hunt the Slipper,' and lots o' games that youngsters didn't think of these time'. We weren't dressed lo kill, with sashes a yard wide under our armpits, and wc could run and jump, and laugh. Why, I've seen a young feller who had maybe been ordered to redeem a pawn after a game of 'button,' chase a girl all over an' out, and round a house half-a-dozen times, afore he'd git a kiss. You'd say now-a-days, sich doin's were undignified, an' all that, but I know that girls in my day weren't half as forward an' knowin' as they arc now. "Well, 'bout 'lcvcn, we started for home, and we'd got so well acquaint ed that wc talked lots more than when we came. " 'Ain't it dark?' said I. as we en tered the thick woods. 'Npthin' would tempt me to go through here alone. Do you s'pose there's been " 'Course not,' says Jedediah. 'If there were, you needn't be 'fraid 'long o' me,' and be held my arm so close that all my fears vanished. What was there to alarm one under the protection of such a great strong, manly, fearless fellow? Jlow I did look up to him! "'I aint afraid of nothin,' he went on. 'None o the boys ever could scare me. No matter what comes any kind of a critter I'd protect you, Hanncr dear. I jest wish there was a bear here! yes, a real live black bear! I'd show you how 1 could defend you !' "This was getting romantic, wasn't it, now? I felt so grateful that I tried to think of something to say to express my gratitude, when he gave a start and a cry : " 'What's that ?' "T pulled the wrappings from my face, and there, moving from ihe trees to the left, was a great black somethiir, coming toward us. "Oh, Jedediah, I'm afraid,' said I. my teeth beginning to chatter, Ihoro is a bear! Oh, dear! what shall I do?" " 'Jest hurry up,' ses he, and I felt his arm tremble. 'We'll hev to he giltin out of this mighty quick,' and I found he meant it, for I couldn't hardly begin to keep up with him. The way he run was something won derful for so brave a youth, but the quicker wc went, th'e quicker came that dreadful bear. At last my A'al- imit protector cried out: "'Let go, Hanncr, let go!' "'Oh, Jedediah,' I gasped, 'don't run away from me;' ami I just hung on lighter, while he ran, dniggin'me along. Pretty soon he pushed me, but I wouldn't let go. " 'Let go of my arm, I say ! There's no need of us both being devoured; let go, T nay !' and with that he gave a savage pull at my arm, and away he went, leaving me all alone. "Well, dear, I couldn't begin to tell you what I suffered. I can almost realize it this minnit, for all I could Ihink of was howling wolves and horrid bears and everything thai was terrible. I knew that black thing, whatever it was was close upon me, for I could hear if breathe. Of course I had not stopped running when my brave protector left me, but my strength kind'r give out; I felt faint like, and though there wasn't much light, the atmosphere turned blacker. Closer and closer the thing came. "There was a great clump of trees on one side; if I could make that, and steal behind it, the 'bear' might pass on. I did gain it, and waited, sick with fear. I wondered my hair didn't turn white, as Lord IJyron's did, poor young feller." TIic 2c-Or;ariizfiI Mission. AVe clip the following article from the Salt Lake Tribune. Owing to the general interest that is being roused in Uttih matters, it may not be out of the way to show our read ers how Mormonisni (opposed to polygann) is looked upon hy the "Gentiles" in Utah. George Derry, known to many of our readers, is one of the Josephite elders referred lo: "The Josephito brethren who conic here proclaiming their errand to be one of peace, and the object of their labors the preaching of true Latter- day (loclriue, tlivcMMl ol the crroi which have been introduced by the branch in Utah, appeal to the sym pathies of all. Mormonism, as a re ligious denomination, is entitled to the same kindly consideration as all other ecclesiastical organizations. We may reject (he pretensions of lis founder to a divine mission, scout a fabulous his interviews with the an gel Moroni and other supernatural intelligences, and thrust aside his box ol plates as thcmcicst impos ture ; but our di.-belief is no rule for others to he governed bv. If any number of worshipers chooe to ac cept Joseph Smith as their prophet, to believe that ho was comiuis-Moucd to restore theaucicnt order of things, and that only through his ministra tion can men obtain salvation, it is only a harmless delusion, and no right-minded person will take of fense at such a doctrine. The American people are tolerant of all forms of religion, holding that a IN SEARCH OF A WIFE. A Strange Story of I.otp. Crrrtl ol (Sain, ami l suiltlrii Departure. man's belief rests solely between hints-elf and his Maker. They sim ply ask that a religious sect obey the laws, do no violence to public mor ality, and live on terms of amity with their neighbors. The Josenh- ite distinctly avow this to be their religious faith and their domestic practice. Polygamy they condemn with unmistakable heart ine-s, as be ing contrary to the doctrine con tained in their bonks and as casting reproach upon lheinelve. It mat ters not, they argue, what may have been Joseph's marital relations, they are not bound to follow him in error, they are not man worshipers; as far as his conduct and cachings con formed with the laws of God and man. they can adopt his lead, bat further than that thev cannot go. Divest Moriiioni!n of its most re pulsive feature polygamy ; let its priesthood abandon their claim to exclusive and absolute secular rule, and its members live on terms of amity with the rest of mankind, and there will be no further trouble in Utah. In Illinois, the Josephito Mormons set up no propostcrous About one year ago, n young lady named Emily J. Adamou, from Des Moines, Iowa, came to Lincoln, to find out the condition of some lots in this city, that were left her by her father who recently died. She found that the lot upon which Ed. Church's paint shop is located, and some two or three other lots of less A'aluc, in the residence part of the city be longed to her. She was boarding at the Palace Hotel, and soon became acquainted with a young man, one of the attache of the house, who had learned that she was .the owner of some valuable real estate in Ihe city. He made love to her, propos ed and was accepted. IJeforc tying himself to the young lady he called upon Mr. Church to find out wheth er he had or was about to purchase the pioperty, and about what it was worth. He then visited the ollices ol the County Treasurer and Clerk, and found that the title to the prop erly rested in Ihe young lady he was about to make his wife. Fully sat isfied that she was an heiress, he hurried matters and soon was tho lawful husband of the young lady. Once married, he proposed business lo his better half, and asked her to sell the O street lot that he might run a boarding car at the end of the roi'd. To this his wife dissented, whereupon he proceeded to give her a severe thumping, and continued so doing from lime to time, until it became very monotonous. Finally, under the promise that she wo-ild dispose of the property and let him have the money, the thumping busi ness ceased, and they lived for a short time as happy as two turtle doves. Last Monday she had the deeds made out for nil the property she had in Lincoln, with her hus band s name attached. She called on Ed. Church and received $1,000 for the lot he occupied, and .floU for another lot in the north part of the city. Her husband, who was at home quietly awaiting bur ret urn, be came uneasy after hhc had been gone about two hours, and walked out to find her; but up to the present lime has been unable to even hear of her. A few dis since he left for Des Moines, her old home; but she was not there. Yesterday he lelegraph Marsiial I, man from that city ask ing if she was here, and dining the afternoon Lyman received another telegram from the Mars-hal of Des Moines, as. ing the same question. The man is evidently without a lov ing and affectionate wife, and the wife is minus a thumping husband. Lincoln Journal. Queer DolBgx of odd People. "It wasn't Lord Byron's grandma ; anv bears here latelv?" it was the 'Prisoner of Chillon's;' Lord Ilyron only wrote about it." "O, did he? well, it's all right Avhiehcvcr way. I clung hold of the trees, trembling all over, and the thing did go past. Gals, I did hope it would ketch Jedediah, and cat him all tip, I was so angry and mortified and frightened. Well, pretly soon I stoic out. The 'bear' had gone deeper into the woods, but I knew where I was, on Ihe open road lead ing to the house, which was only about half a mile away. I suppose Ihe sound of my feet attracted the critter, for I soon found out that it was after me agen. and then there was a race. "Screaming at the lop of my voice 'Father! help! murder!' I flew on, and on flew the critter behind me. Pretty soon, I saw the light of the house. The front door was open, and father and mother were coming out, and I screamed louder and ran faster, my voice growing more and more hysterical, till at last I fell into father's arms, gasping: "'The bear! the bear!' "I guess I didn't really sense any thing till daylight. They were all frightened half to death, and old fat Doctor Bailey was standiu'over me, and mother rubbin' my hands and cryin', and father walkin' the floor, and, O dear! but it was dreadful. " 'Where is it-the bear?' I asked, weakly. 'Did it hurt father? did he shoot it ?" ' 'The bear, dear, was only Pet, your black pony,' said my mother, soothingly. I turned my face to the wall : Had I undergone all that an guish for poor innocent Pet? I felt as if I never wanted to sec anybody again. I remembered now that Jedediah had left the bars down where the pasture communicated with the woods, because his hands were so cold, the coward! and our pet pen', who would follotr any ol the family, had been straying round there, and got over; then she recog nized me. "Father w.19 very angry with Jedediah, and, in fact, when the story gol round, folks laughed at him o that he had to leave the place, for, no matter where he went, somebody was sure to ask him : " 'Seen any bears lntelv, Jedediah ?' "And that was my first experience ii. 1 it pretensions, they arc not at war with their race, they are not unde sirable neighbors. Asa consequence there is no friction between Saint and sinner; no persecution of God's chosen people by a wicked and an adulteiate generation. It is known to all that the American people arc broadly tolerant of all forms of faith and all conditions of unbelief; and with this fact established Iheso Utah Mormons write their own condemnation when they refer to the stormy scenes they em-ouiiteri d in their eaily ettlcnients in Ohio, Missouri and Illinois, and the per secutions that still nlllict them in Utah. The man that cannot live at peace in any neighborhood is cer tainly in lault himself. We welcome the Josephile ciders to Utah, because they preach a re ligion which will oliend none, and because instead of breathing out Ihrcatenings and slaughter, and teaching hate as a religious duty, they avow their errand to be one of charity and frntcrii.il love. In that sign they will conquer. Coming in the name of the sons of the mar tyred prophet, they will find many willing to be guided by their teach ings, and to reform their practices along with their religious faith. We mis-judge the character of the forces at work Jtthis Josephile crusade docs not prove a powerful movement. A pair of scissors was lost, and a little girl suggested that a prayer be said asking that they might be found.
