"Grandma, old Mrs. Lennox says
you were real pretly when you were
youiijf," said Lena Lawrence, as she
sat by Hie side of the si ill comely
old lady.
".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."

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

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

II. Carpenter said : "It was never
more essential to the public welfare
than it is now that the Republican
party should miiutain ascendancy
in the administration of the govern
ment. If it was a duty to put down
the rebellion, it is equally a duty to
keep it down. If we were bouud to
preserve the Union at the coat of so
many lives and so much treasure
against armed treason, we are equal
ly bound to protect it from insidious
revolution in civil administration.
If it was necessary to create a great
public debt in the suppression of the
rebellion, honor requ'njs its dis
charge and the preservation of the
public faith. To these ends the Re
publican party ig pledged."
