REMARKS.— TO THE READER.

The Signs of the Zodiac, &c, &c.

<f> Aries, the Ram, the head; ^ Libra, the Scales, the reins;

y Taurus, the Pull, the neck; llj Scorpio, the Scorpion, the secrets;

II Gemini, the Twins, the arms; f Sagitarius, the Archer, the thighs;

C\ Leo, the Lit. n, the heart; ~ Aquarius, Waterman, the legs;

1IE Virgo, the Virgin, the bowels; >£ Pisces, the Fishes, the feet; —

And the man riding the moon; the pictures of sundry heavenly animals; — said to govern the anatomy of man's body, according to the notions of the ancients, and the idea of some farmers and women, upon raising pigs and children, are omitted, for the "tall" reason, that, as no one has been able to measure the distance to Aries, Taurus, or Virgo, Abe; they are equally unable to give any account of the influence of any of these "fixed .stars," — or which of "the Gods," mentioned by Paul, inhabits them.

As the supposed distance to Sirius, Virgo, or Taurus, may be 40,000,- 000,000,000,000 miles, the influence from them, must travel swift if it star- ted at the "begining" of this world, to reach the earth, by the close of this century.

4 ECLIPSES FOR 1852.

There will be six eclipses this year, — three of the sun, and three of the moon.

5th. A total eclipse of the sun, December 10, middle 8h 5m a. Visible at Pekin and Nankin in China.

6th. Of the moon, December 26; begins at 4h 7m m; middle at 5h 43m in; ends at 7h 5m in.

9 Venus will be evening star for the year. [See table on nnother page.] % Jupiter will bo Tuornin.2-tir till the 1st of May, then evening star till the 21st November, thence morning star to the year'd end.

GENERAL RULE TO CALCULATE BREAK OF DAY & TWILIGHT.

The earth is 359 deg. in circumference, and "rolls on her wings," about a degree in four minutes — which is equal to 24 hours; and the sun's rays begin to casta light 18 degrees before rising, and continue the same 18 degrees after setting. 18 4 is lh 12m. This sum subtracted for day- break, and added for twilight, gives the begining and ending of Iwilight.

Example. — March 22d, sun rise come3 at 6h 2m — lh 12m — 4h50mis daybreak. The sun sets at Gh 12m — lh 12m — makes 7h 24m the end of twilight, the previous day.

ft

RULE FOR FINDING THE MOON'S SOUTHING.

Multiply the moon's epach (age) by 81; cut off two figures from tho right hm I of the product, the left hand figures will be the hours, the right hand figures, multiplied by 6 '), will be the minutes. For instance, May 1, cpach 14 by 81 and 60 — 9h 42m, which is within 3 or 4 minutes of the true time.

The Lkkgth of Days. — At Berlin and London, the longest day has six- teen and a hall* hours. At Stockholm and Upsal, the longest day has eigh- teen and a h ilf hours. At Hamburg, Dantzic, and Stettin, the longest day has seventeen hours, and the shortest seven. At St. Petersburg and To- bolsk, the longest has nineteen, and the shortest five hours. At Tornea, in Finland, the longest day has twenty-one hours and a ha4f, and the shor- test two and a h tlf. At Wanderbus, in Norway, the day lasts from the 21sis of May to the 22d of July, without interruption; and at Spitzbergen, the longest three and a half months:

A 1S52.] January begins on Thursday, and has 31 days. [Winter*

$ BIBLE ASTRONOMY.

-^ The nearest "fixed star" must be Mount Paran, mentioned by Habak- il kuk, the fruitful world of glory where the "Holy One" came from; or 5k rather Kolob, where our Father in the Heavens resides in the midst of %£ $ his glory and kingdoms. M

The next nearest "fixed star," also mentioned by Habakkuk, must ™

>•> in one of the eternity of eternities — which closes the Lord's prayer in 3 jj the Greek version, and is mentioned by John, [Rev. 19 — 3 &c] ^ If, as Paul says, there are "Lords many, and Gods many," and each V £• has the control of a renewed or resurrected world, which continually S ? shines as a ''fixed star ,•" Heaven must be a large blessed universe of * || intelligent worlds. What say the learned D.D's. on this head ? Paul |j A ascended to the third Heaven, and heard things unlawful to utter then, 4 Q. — but all things are to be revealed in the last days. — Open the windows S J% of Heaven. X.

1 Up ! Dcseretians ! New Year's come t

The old one's pass'd and gone, — And Uncle Sam is very sick — Go call the Doctor, John.

2 There hangs his Continental Hat?

Cockaded o'er his bed ; His eyes are dim, his pulse are low, The old man's nearly dead.

3 In davs when Britain troubled men,

He "saddled up "Old AVhite," And gathered out a valient band, And said; — "I guess we'll fight."

4 "No Stampt Act — Tea Act can be just,

"To gather cash for Kings, —

"So boys, we'll be — United States,

"And try what valor brings."

5 The hills and mountains, far and near,

All stood around in glee, As Uncle Sam rush'd forth to war, To make his children free.

6 Old John Burgoyne, with all his host,

Out-cop'd, surrendered — then ; And Lord Cornwallis shell'd his corn, And left the cob, — amen.

7 All right ; before a favor'dfew,

The foe-man had to flee, And Uncle Sam triumphant stood, With "honor bright," and free!

8 The Asylum of Liberty

Was grac'd with Washington, And Uncle Sam with all his sons. Then shouted, — "we are one !"

9 The sun ne'er lit a better land,

A "Union" burst to view, And God Almighty blest the realm As long as men were "true."

10 But when "Old Hick'ry" left the chair

To little Matty Van, A chill came over Uncle Sam, — A — fever then began.

NEWS FROM THE POLEs7~

* The story is, a Polish lady one time said, women where 1 live have ft H easy times. As it is six months day and six months night, — one day %• ™ for the space of about thirteen hundred miles diameter, is a year * (| long, and only three meals a day, makes but little work for the wo- (j ^men. A year being 365 years, the age of a person, like prophetic \ B time, goes by time; and after one has lived there 25,500 years — it only %'. 4 makes 70 polar years, or nearly so. Again, the moon shines alter- % || nately about a fortnight, giving two weeks moonlight and two weeks ! 4 of polar darkness. The two weeks of moonlight, when the thermom- £ $jj eter is down to 60 deg. below zero, affords a chance to freeze mercury S $£ into bulletn, which, when shot into polar game, expands so sudden, ?v || that rare sportsmen have lots of fun. *|'j 4? But bless the stars, a year of Sunday, for Sunday mails and sane- «j M timonious christian worship, is a consummation long enough, to get % % the Bible by heart, and pray Lucifer out of perdition. Probably Sir *

1 John Franklin has got into quarters there, and the great change in |j

* reckoning time, may retard the news from him till about the year *

2 1902! Strange times in the land of Arsareth! Wonderful things 5 f among the ten tribes! Look for the northern lights! " $

11- A State could mob ; the truth was shun'd,

And winking understood ; And that good name of Uncle Sam, Was stain'd with human blood.

12 The lingering Nations of the world,

Ey'd Uncle Sam, the brave, — And said : — "He saved others," — oh ! — "Himself he cannot save."

13 So God lead out the innocent,

Laid judgment on the shelf, And let old Uncle Sam once try : — "Physician heal thyself." —

14 And now the old man's sick of life,

For all his law is dead ; And slav'ry speaks like Balaam's Asa J For all his glory's fled.

15 Jehovah copes with wicked men,

And in their evil hour, He thrusts them down to hell in wrath, And then they learn his pow'r.

16 When wicked nations fall, their's joy,

And God doth sit and lau°h : And angels have their sacred sport, To blow them off as chaff.

17 The wit of men ; the gold of worlds,

Can't save a sin-scorched soul: The sweeper comes : and then, aha! The Devil takes the whole.

18 So Uncle goes to Potter's field ;

To hide his freaks and t'aws, 'flint one lone slab may fell the spot, Where Uncle Sam once was.

SONG.

ALL SEEN BY THE MAN IN THE MOON.

1 Ere Eden contained a bower,

Or nightingales chanted a tune, The man and the woman, both naked, Were seen by the man in the moon.

2 And many a loving affair,

Where fancy hns frolic' d too soon, And many a sweetlv kiss'd maiden. Are seen by the man in the moon.

3 And manv a villain that's artful, —

And many a sinning paltroon, And many a purpose of treason, Are seen by the man in the moon.

4 And manv a coaxing cute codger,

The really cunning old Coon, And manv a glimpse of a dandy, Are seen bv the man in the moon.

The bees, in rather %£ a humble manner, rejected the proposal, observing that they were all ' « bred to industry, and dryly asked, "what benefit is a science which f has reduced its' prof essor to beggary."

THE FOOL KILLER.

The Cold of California,— alas! How many strange events Have come to pass by her Almighty chirms!

Fortunes made. — And fortunes lost: — anrl lo! at once, — How many widows, orphans, friends, — Are drinking the bitter drees Of woe! The fool killer's o-ollen can! There runs a black streak, O California! Thou slaughter house of quick desire! Thou spot on human hannine^s! Thou gilded tfireshhold of hell! What will nineteen hundred in 1 fifty say of Thee? There's a tale for fair hearers. " The fool-killer has been at wo-k; Now Philosophers run and read The catalogue of fortune's fun-— And then say whether satan deceives, — Or else acknowledge beat'. — and then Return to reason, by way of New Holland, And let the fool-killer catch you there. O what a brilliant day we live ;n' Fools make feasts and wise men die By devouring them!

AN OLD FABLE, (reneweb)

Once a lion invited a horse, an ox, and a ram to hunt with him, promis- ing them an equal division of the came taken. They soon run down and killed a fine deer. After it -was quartered, the th-e^ quests, looked on with much self calculation, while his majesty, the lion, as they supposed, would deliver each an equal portion. But the bon. in a erowling tone, commenced, taking the first quarter, that belongs to me. as king: the second qar'er. I claim because lam the strongest: the third I shall take for my trouble in getting up the hunt- and if any of you re%*? we the fourth, I shall declare him my enemy; so the unfortunate companions of his majes- ty; lacking the power, went away hungry.

Fall favors few. Spring smiles over the grave of winter. Summer reigns to fall. Virtue often has a rough back. Barbers, or shavers, never shave gratis. Gains cost pains. Girls and pearls, and bovs and toys. As the salesman said, who bids? Winter winks at woe. Thought is the life of mind. Passion tells tales of the heart. Our look* telegraph our se- crets. Bachelors and bogus, are always in market.

MEASURING CORN AND WHEAT.

By the following rule the Quantity of shelled corn in a house of any dimensions may be readily ascertained.

RULE. — Having previously levelled the corn or wheat in the house, so that it will be of equal depth throughout, ascertain thebno;th and breadth, and depth of the bulk; multiply these dimensions together and their pro- ducts by 4, then cut off one figure from the right of this last product. — This will give so many bushels, and a decimal of a bushel of shelled corn or wheat. If it be required to find the quantity of ear corn, substitute 8 for 4, and cut off one figure as before.

Example. — In a bulk of corn in the ear measuring 12 feet long, 11 feet

The decimal 4 is used when the object is to find the quantity in shelled corn, because that decimal is half of the decimal 8, and it requires two bushels of ear coin to make one bushel of shelled corn or wheat. In using these rules a half a bushel may be added for every hundred; that amount of ears results from the substitution of the decimals.

-| THE WIND.

?| The wind is air in motion, and varies in velocity in different deg- §| || rees, stages, and countries, from 1 to 100 miles per hour. From 1 to || >£ 5 miles per hour embraces a soft, gentle breeze; from 5 to 10 a com- Sg ffl mon gale; from 10 to 20 a brisk gale; from 20 to 30 a very brisk gale; £>

* from 30 to 40 high, or very high wind; from 40 to 50 a storm or tern- ? II pest; from 50 to 60 a great storm; from 60 to 80 a hurricane; and from (|

6 80 to 100 miles, a tornado that carries all before it.

H The wind generally carries the clouds about 2 miles high, over val- fi- llies and plains; but in this vicinity, where clouds are manufactured > || from the breath of the mountaius, during fall and winter, they not j| *xr unf'requently come within one or two thousand feet of the common g % level ', and afford the spectator above them on the mountains a sub- /•' $ lime view of the clouds, spread out as a pavilion over the Valley, glit- £ M tei'ing in the mellow sunbeams.

The amount of water that may be contained, in a given dimension i of cloud we know of no means of ascertaining. The upper docp is $ unexplored and undefined by man. p

S£ About j!8U years ago, commencing in Nov. 1572, a very bright star, | r%> not far from the north star, 5 degrees N. N. E. of Caph, in the con- j || stellation of Cassiopea, was seen to change its light from whitish till " | j"" 4^ it appeared like a world on fire,surpassing the brilliance and splendor *13 ^ of a planet. It was visible at noon-day, but finally began to dimin- pj

* ish in brightness, until, in 1573, it disappeared, leaving a void, which ^ || to man remains a mystery.

* Much speculation, at the time, occupied the learned, and the chris- * ffi tian clergy; — the heathen said nothing, because they knew nothing. ^ ££ So the matter rests. One may imagine that it was a space-boat burnt W || up with its own gas; and another declare that it was a great meteor J| |g which had been collecting ever since lightning lived; and a few sup- »J»

fpose it might be a world called to judgment. All ignorant'. w

HOME.

1 1 have traveled all over this fame spotted earth.

To pick up the crumbles of innocent mirth, And gather the diamonds of wisdom and worth; And lo! the best treasure, The sincerest pleasure, I found was at home.

2 1 have been to the palace where kings sat in state.

Surrounded with nobles, the great with the great,'

Where subjects were lingering to find out their fate:

And 0! how they trembled!

And each one dissembled! —

There's no place like home.

3-i — I have been to the cottage, when there sat the poor, In want of the blessings that money procure; Or were sick, for the doctor had fail'd them to cure;

And yet all their troubles,

Were transient as bubbles,

For they were at home.

4 1 have been to the banquet, of feastings and glee,

Where beauty and fashion were tete-a-tetee, — As if fortune and friendship were ever to be: And mid all this showment, Each heart took a moment, To sigh for its home.

5 1 have ask'd the old sailor, that sail'd on the sea, —

I have talk'd with the soldier that fought to be free, — To tell, if they could, where contentment might be: —

Without an emotion,

Or separate notion

They said: ' Tis at home!

G 1 have dreamed of the Zion where God lives above,

Where perfection is basking in union and love And spirits go down in the form of a dove: So kindly to meet us; And sweetly to greet us; — Go there: — there is home. G. S. L. City, Jan. 10, 1851. K. J.

Let not thy recreations be expensive, lest the pain of purchasing them exceed the pleasure thou hast in their enjoyment.

Neither let prosperity put out the eyes of circumspection, nor abundance cut off the hands of frugality: He that too much indulgeth in the super- fluities of life, shall live to lament the want of its necessaries.

The fool is not always unfortunate; nor the wise man always successful; yet never had a fool thorough enjoyment — never was a wise man wholly unhappy.— [Economy of Human Life.

§TIIE MOON. g

Every one, perhaps, is not aware how the earth appears to the in- S 1| habitants of the Moon. As more than three fifths of the earth is "(j i= covered with water, and being nearly 13 times larger than the moon, 'jk $• a full earth must be a grand sight! The earth light there must be suf- M $ ficient to read and work by. 4gain, as the moon always keeps the ^ Ij same side to the earth, those who live on the backside, must naturally II * enjoy themselves in taking pleasure rides to the Frontiers, to view if ft through their telescopes, and Urim and Thumims, the earth's gran- 'ft ^ deur, and glory, and some of the curiosities of their next worldly s "j|'J neighbors.

THE ATMOSPHERE.

By measurement the atmosphere is nearly 50 miles high, and grows thinner and lighter, from the earth to the top. By experiment, if we esti- mate the diameter of the earth at 79G4 miles, the mean height of the bar- i >mcter at 29 1-2 inches, and the weight of a cubic foot of mercury at 13,- 500 ounces, avoirdupois, the aggregate weight of the whole atmosphere, at 50 miles high, round the globe", will be 11,522,211,494,201,773,089 lbs, and its pressure upon the earth about 14 2-5 lbs to the square inch. This will cause a common sized person to carry nearly 14 tons of air; but as it presses upon all sides, it is not felt materially only when ascending high mountains, or descending them.

The air, as an element, is a great curiosity; the weather has never been <^>kl enough to freeze it, nor hot enough to melt it, and yet it is the grand medium of both. The atmosphere divided into parts, contains 98 9-10 air; 1 vapor, and 1-10 carbonic acid; but again chemically divided, there are 21 parts of vital air for breathing, and 79 poisonous; hence the want of fresh air in tight rooms.

PRUDENCE.

Avarice is the parent of evil deeds; but frugality is the sure guardi- v an of our virtues. $$

Let thine own business engage thine attention; leave the care of ti || State to the governors thereof.

4 From the experience of others, learn wisdom; and from their fail- * orrect thine own faults. H

ty Trust no man before thou hast tried him; yet mistrust not without ty '1' reason; it is uncharitable. "|j

Sh But when thou hast proved a man to lie honest, lock him up line heart as a rich treasure; regard him as a jewel of inestimabl : Ice. |:

j] Use not to-day what to-morrow may want: neither leave that to haz- 11 \ ard, which fore lii may provide for, or care prevent. 1

n From fear proceedeth misfortune; but he that hopeth, helpeth him- $ § self.

THE RIDDLE UNRIDDLED.

'Twas whispered in Eden, when Adam was made,

And drove round the Deluge of old; 'Twas dreaded in death, when the Lord lended aid,

Though dazzling with diamonds and gold.

At the end of the world, when the Devil is bound,

'Twill deal in the dust — (as they say) But yet, in the wisdom of (Jod, most profound,

Die damned at the great judgment day.

It often doth stand at the door of the proud,

With knowledge and prudence to lend; With twenty-five brothers — at Rome 'twas endowed

As lord D d,— the belles-letter friend. K. J.

Furnish thyself with the proper accommodations belonging to thy coa - dition: yet spend not to the utmost of what thou cansL afford, and the pr«vidoncc of thy youth may be a comfort.to thy old age.

THE ETERNAL MOTHER.

The 11th chapter and 7th verse of Job, rightly rendered from the origi- nal Hebrew, reads: — "Who has searched out God? Canst thou find out the Eternal Mother? Canst thou find out the perfection of the Almighty?"

All right; spiritually or temporally, there cannot be a father without a mother, in truth, to continue the ad infinitum of lives,- — except the secta- rian god, who has neither body, parts, or passions; he has no wife, and, of course, he had no mother. "Oh gracious!" inquires the philosophising granny, "where did he come from?" "Why," replies the King's Jester, "may be he is one of the Misses Lucifer's come-by- chances:" Now hush, you,— slandering the Prince of this world's family. Hush!

VIRGIL A MORMON. Virgil, the poet, who was born 70 years before Christ, and flourished ihd died before the birth of Jesus, represents the Great Apollo, speaking from the heavens, and addressing a youth thus:

iiMacie nova virtute puer, sic itur ad astra; "Diis genite, et geniture Deos." Imitated in English thus:

Co on in virtue, boy; so is the way to the stars;

You were begotten by the gods, and gods by you must be begot.

Philosophers! there is no insurance on worlds.

THE THREE GREAT WANTS.

The three great wants of human life — "Tobacco," "liquor," and a wife" — Are very tempting wants to some; They chew, they spew, they stew, — Ivum.

The first, enjoyed, brings on the dreuls; The next, alas! makes wise men fools; The third, O dear! like wells with damps, Benumbs their blisswith home-made cramps

Ye lakes of spit, and blotch' d fac'd coonf>: Ye lank-jawed blades for honey moons, — Is faith in all your outs and ins? Be sure the Lord f orgiveth sins.

Ye tea and coffee drinkers, think How cov'nant breakers ivink; Quit drink? O yes! they cry, and lack her: But O! what begging for tobaccur!

I say you, long-winded tobacco ehugg- lers; liquor gugglers, and honey fuggler.*. the day after judgment will show a great many unpaid accounts.

PHILOSOPHY OF THE HEAVENS.

In presenting the solar system table, we wish to consider three things as d oubtful, and unworthy of the confidence of saints:

First. The influence of signs, stars, &c, according to the wisdom of the world.

Second. The conjectures of the Christian world upon the heavens above and the regions "beyond the bounds of time and space."

And Th ird. The philosophy of attraction and repulsion; attraction and gravitation, or empty space.

For the grand reason, that the earth and every planet or system in the heavens is' governed bv law, and controlled by the power of God, or Gods; from whom proceeds 'light to fill the immensity of space;' for there is no space without a kingdom.

That every world, or system, is a living animal, whose lijegiving, or life moving power, is in itself, as much as the same powers are in man, anim- als,-trees: — even all created — "whose seed is in itself.'"

Talk not to me of universal laws, and attraction and repulsion, to gov- ern the bodies above, or below! What a confusion of worlds there would have been, in such a case, when Joshua commanded the "sun and moon" to stand still, and the earth ceased to roll for at least a day!

Again, what becomes of philosophical nonsense, when the earth is sud- denly jogged back 'Hen degrees," as in the instance of Hezekiah? Only forty minutes slow o'clock, at one instant's sudden back action!

No more matter on the earth at one time than another! 0 fool-;! and slow of understanding! Did Enoch's city aud people weigh nothing? They left this earth. After the resurrection, Jesus took his body and went to his Father. That body was a part of this world, but it is gone!

No univers u law., of man's seeking, governs the works of Cod.

To read this Table, say in climate 6, latitude 40 deg. 21 min — days are 15 hours long, as a matter of course, nights are 9 hours long. In climate 26, latitude 60 deg. 33 min., days 60 days or two months long, which would give sunshine from the 22d of May to the 21st of July, (if not cloudy) and night from the 22d of November to the 20th of January. A great time

for Icelanders to bed, or wed.

SILK.

Strongly impressed that the culture of silk ought soon to attract the at- tention of Deseretians, as a part of home manufacture, a few words, in this year's Almanac, may not lie a miss. The culture of silk in China, can be traced back nearly 4450 years, which is as long ago almost as the Hood. Suffice it to say, that silk, manufactured from the labors 01 the silk v/orm, fed upon Mulberry leaves, is, among the first employment of kings and queens, not only in the east Indies, but in various portions of the habitable globe. Situated in about the same latitude of the Chinese, Mulberry trees, silk worms, and what else may be necessary to accomplish a complete silkary, are just as feasable; in these "fat vallies of Ephraim," as in the gaunt gardens of Japhetli of the gentiles. Who gets the first hundred dollars premium for the first silk dress manufactured from Deser- et materials?

Says Father Timo, O fools a gogue, You can't oall-me-back. — =

Remarks of Elder Phelps, in September Conference, 1851, on TITHING.

Beloved Saints: — I stand before you to address you on one of the most important acts of life that tends to salvation. My text stands at the head of the notable events of September, 1851, in the Deseret Almanac, and is one of the sayings or proverbs, not of Saint Paul, but of William: And may you never forget it— Pay your tithing! Yes, from this day, and from this place, let every elder of Israel carry this glad tidings, with the gospel of repentance, that all that pay their tithing shall not be burned, if they obey the ordinances of the Lord. Let every elder, as soon as a con- vert to the truth of Jehovah, is washed from his sins, teach this standing law: "Verily thus saith the Lord, 1 require all your surplus property to be put into the hands of the bishop of Ziou, for the building of mine house, and for the laying the foundation of Zion, and for the priesthood; and for the debts of (he presidency of my church; and this shall be the beginning of th : tithing of my people. Ana after that, those who have thus been tithed shall pay one tenth oi all their interest annually.-0

Thi ; is plain language: all the '-surplus property" of a saint belongs to the Lord: or, in other words, to the church of Jesus Chrflt of Latter Day Sain i if an elder baptizes a poison worth $10,000, and he only

needs $5000, at the extent, to bring him and his family to the valley, and sit- uate himself with a house and farm, and the necessary appendages to obtain his living, $5000 is the amount of his surplus property to be consecrated to the work of the Lord. So with the man worth §100,000 that needs only $10,000 for himself, $90,000 belongs to the Lord, or to the church, public works as directed by the Presidency.

..' In the first ease of the for individual benefit, that

comes under the head of "•interest" to be tithed annually, and actually . . : . or ioi , my part, or lot — and is the "incre . bay.

stock of every description, poultry, fruit, yea, eve le, together with all the tune no pi ■ 1 in produ these commodil o be tithed annually while the saints occupy the

e -li.

In . tint has no "surplus property," then he til he has. —

If he has no pi I in body, then every tenth labor day

0 the Lord.

And who are the stewards of his holy revenue? The first presidency are the sups are among the Lord's

anointed to bless, an re the end of the Law, and the :

our Lather in heaven, who se h openly. The

reive and the Twelve: the president of th lioo I and council; and quorum: the president of presidents hi council- lor 11 th is of the seventies: the president and his council of the elder and quorum: yea— all these are the candles of the Lord, set ; a house to give light to the saints that they may sanctify themselves i bigs, that the land may yield her in- creag .

And who comes next? The presiding bishops, and all the bishops far and near. Yes! ye fathers among the people, ye are the stewards of the Lo bouse; the receivers of his revenue, and the accountants of 1- to stand before the face of heaven, with clean hands and cry with a loud voice, the words of our text: Paij gov/r tithing! Do they do it, or do some stretch and contract like gum elastic garments, to suit the notions of every body? If they do they will hear the revelation from heaven, sounding an

44

alarm to put away these "India rubber bishops," and clothe my people with pure apparel! yea, wake up the people: — let every saint learn his duty! make him walk in the old paths! The great day of vengeance is at hand; the destruction decreed has begun; the floods in the western states bear witness, that the "hot drops," after the prophet and patriarch were mar- tyred under the sanction of nimble jurisprudence, fell from God — and that pestilence, plague, fire, famine, and the sword, will continue to waste .his nation, until the bloody register of martyrs, with all her gorgeous monu- ments of Phantasmagoria; and all gilded tombs over the dust of fallen greatness; and all her unfaithful servants, buckramed in pseudo eclat and Anakimed fame, are known only by an epitaph written by the destioving angel in their ashes— TIS FINISHED! while all holy hosts of earth and heaven will shout — amen! amen!! AMEN!!!

But to the text — pay your tithing, for the hands on the public works, as they had to while raising the Temple at Nauvoo live by eating:— and where is the saint that can swallow down his luxuries — his butter — his cheese — his eggs— his chickens, and expect God to bless him, while the voice of the me- chanic, and comlion laborer, goes up — 0 Lord, our Father, we cannot labor and live on air! Beware! U ye greedy and covetous, lest you hear the servants of God, or his angels, exclaiming, Wo unto you rich men: Wo unto ye worshippers of the God of this world, and wo unto ye selfish! It will be the end of your folly, to hear this sentence: "The harvest is over, the summer is past, and your souls are not saved!

And ye traders at the stores who help to swell the coffers of Japheth, two or three hundred dollars per week, or two or three hundred thousand a year, what suppose ye the Lord thinks of your righteousness? You need not wait till the day of judgment to learn whether your "pearls are east before swine;" — like lambs for the slaughter, you lick the hind that holds a^ knife to fix your iiesh for the market of Baal. Yes! yes! you forget your tithing and offer sacrifice to Baal.

And ye good sisters what do ye for the Lord? Can ye sew, knit, and minister unto the heirs of salvation? Can ye? then remember the "wid- ow's mite."

And ye waiting maids and matrons, did ye ever mark this revelation: Behold the heritage of the Lord! Children are the wages or tithing of thy fruit? And that the first-born of man, (as well as beast) belong to the Lord to minister in the holy Temple? It was so in Israel.

And 0 ye saints, up, up and bring in your tithing, and offerings of the first fruits, the richest and best, and claim the promises and blessings, for now is the time. Yea, proclaim it to the ends of the earth, that one tenth of everything, together with an oifering of the first fruits, the richest and best, in righteousness, belongs to our Father in heaven, for the use of his materials, and for the benefit of the holy priesthood. Therefore, with one heart and one mind, let us tithe — let us sacrifice — and let us oiler and please our Falher in the heavens: and when the Lion of the Lord roars, let every saint beware and watch what the game is — and where it is— for will a Ton roar when he has found nothing? will he come up from the swelling of Jor- dan, when there is no freshet? Let the game answer — let the deep utter his voice on high. God searches all hearts.

In conclusion, let me say, if you want any part of the world saved — if you want the gospel promulgated to the four quarters of the earth— if you want the veil of darkness rent that covers the" minds of all people — if you want peace and good order to take the place of strife and confusion — if you want Israel gathered from his long dispersion — if you want houses

45

built wherein all the washings, anointings, and ordinances of the holy priesthood can be administered — if you want your dead friends to have a part in the first resurrection — if you want to find favor with God — if you want to come into the presence of the church of the first born, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to an innumerable company of angels — if you want the veil removed that now hides the heavenly hosts from our eyes — if you want to inherit the promises made to the* fathers — if you want the earth to yield her increase — if you want visits from the holy ones of heaven to instruct you in the perfection of science— if you want to reign as kings and priests to God — if you want to inherit the blessings of Abra- ham, Isaac and Jacob, thrones, principalities, powers, dominions, and eternal lives — if you want your endowments as a beginning of the multi- plicity of blessings that come to the pure in heart — if you want to do as God did, in order to dwell in the eternity of eternities — pay your tithing — pay your tithingl for Christ's sake: Amen.

The first token, of God — The Rain bow.

The second do " " The earth divided by oceans.

The third do " " The rocks rent after the crucifixion.

The fourth do " " The book of Mormon, as truth springing out of

the earth. The fifth and last do — When the rain bow disappears — Then look out for the clouds of heaven "in flaming tlame."

Fire in the kitchen is a servant desirable, But fire on the mountain is a tyrant most terrible. Sweet-hearts and beauty by dandies are woo'd, But love and sincerity, is much sweeter food.

Speculation among the saints, is, especially in hunting gold, like the man who had a goose that laid a gold egg; — he killed her and cut her open, and lo! he found nothing. So it is with the wildiired Mormons; they run to the diggings— cut the goose open — and oh! the empty gizzard! No

EGGS.

GOOD HITS.

When an old king was asked what youth should earn? he replied, what thoy need when men.

Many are wise at the table, and learned at the glass, but when thoy come to business, are of no more use than a sun-dial in a vault.

Receive not the favors of a mercenary man, nor join in friendship with the wicked; they shall bo snares unto thy virtue, and bring grief unto thy koul.

Death settles bills gratis, for priests, doctors and lawyers.

From the Economy of Human Life.

Nobility resideth not but in the soul; nor is there true honor except in virtue.

The favor of princes may be bought by rank and vices; titles may be purchased for money; but these are not true honor.

A mind disposed to virtue maketh great the possessor of it; and without titles it will raise him above the vulgar.

Is it not better men should say, Why hath not this man a statue? than that thev should ask, Why hath he one?

TIME.

Time is the ocean of existence, filled with elements and life for improve- ment by man. The presence and absence of the sun give days and nights — and the journey of the earth in her circuit, multiplies seasons *and years; and years and ages make et.u-nity; and eternity enlarges the scope of universal pleasure amid the glory of Gods.

Again, it is revealed that one of our Father's days

in Kolob, is 1000 years.

It is also revealed, that his year is, as we count, 365,000 "

Then a week of his years, by the count of heaven,

is _ 2,555,000,000 "

Two billions, five hundred and fift}--five millions of

years! Just the length of eternity, as the

martyred prophet said. Now upon principle, suppose eternitv is multiplied

into itself, we shall have G,638,02o,000,000,000,000 «

As the eternity of eternities, mentioned in the Greek

verson of the New Testament. Six quintillions, six hundred and thirty-eight qua- drillions, and twenty-five trillions of years for

a little season of perfection among the Gods.

Ho saints! is this a beginning for eternities of eternities of all the stars that now glitter in the upper deep? Mcthinks you all answer, no, no NO! N<> man in the flesh knows the beginnings and endings of one God.

THE UPPER DEEP.

What fills the upper deep, above the atmosphere? The wisdom of man has not been able to penetrate into this field, and solve the question; but lirit of truth from Jehovah says, it is pure elements, — real unorgan- ised matter for eternities to come. The 'water, the gold, the precious

ones, the whole mineral family, and the products for generations only

seable now by '-traveling angel's," lay spread out before God, unattract-

stones

edby gravity, as a patrimony to be organized for other worlds by his chil- dren, and children's children, ad infinitm

DEBT,

Among the nobility, must lie fashionable. Only think of that, Royal familb . EN BILLIONS of dollars of National Debts, and Queen

Victoria owes nearly half of it; aye! and the United States with nothing to boast of.

For debt,— for debt,— for debt! The poor must toil and sweat; The rich can strut and fret, And vet, the sweeper's net

Takes them ALL!
